Someday(Yearning Hearts,#2)

                         ✰✰✰✰✰

                                           CONTAINS SPOILERS

Nia Wright hasn’t considered Cory since their freshmen year in high school. 

Not until the summer after graduation, when his flirty smiles and intense gaze started to make her flutter. But because of his reputation, she was hesitant to let her guard down. 

Now a year later, it seems like their paths would never cross again. Then here comes Cory and all the emotions she once denied, along with the possibility that she might have been waiting for him.
Still, he’s a known player. She needs to be sure he’s changed before allowing herself to fall. But can she control her heart? 

Cory Davidson always saw Nia as the girl out of reach.
But he never stopped wanting her, even as a flashy elite back at the academy. 

He spent an entire year of college, hoping for a glimpse.
Finally, there she is again, and something is different. He thinks he has a chance, and he doesn’t want to lose it. 

The problem is, Cory’s world has changed, and all he has to offer now is himself. Will that be enough?
Is it possible for their blossoming relationship to withstand adversities?

 Beautifully Written. Haunting. Magical. 

I could keep going, which would take me days, to explain how much I loved this book. I should have known that I was going to fall in love. I had loved Nia from the moment she appeared in Parker and Sydney’s story in Maybe . I was excited when I found that there was a book about Nia. Someday was different from the first book but in the right way. I knew that there was something between Nia and Cory when I was reading Maybe ; there was a connection between the two of them there. I was curious to see if something happens between the two of them. I hoped because the two of them were going to the same college, there would be something between them. It seemed as if it did not take too much convincing; to get Nia to go out with him. I cannot imagine liking someone for that long but not assume any action, but I understood why she didn’t. Cory had changed since the academy but considering what happened to his family, he changed for the better. I wasn’t sure about him when I was reading Maybe , but now he is one of my favorite characters. 

Evan. I had a feeling that there was something off about the guy, but then I been wrong before. I noticed how he acted the moment that he found that she was with Cory. He had tried everything to convince her that he was not a good guy. That’s when I got bad vibes from him. He reminded me of his dad; expect much worse. Once he started showing unannounced and trying to convince her to break up with Cory, I knew that it wouldn’t end well. I had a feeling he was planning something, and yet I was still in shock after I found out what he intended. I could not like him afterward; I had the same thoughts as Cory, and I am sure Nia; hate. If someone has done what he had done, I don’t think that I could forgive them. Just because she loved Cory and rejected him? That’s going too far. They could have been friends, but he ruined that. 

Someday didn’t have a single moment where something wasn’t happening. Every page had me craving for me. There was part of me that didn’t want to reach the end; I did not want it to end. I loved the scenes between Cory and Nia, those emotions. While reading the book, I could feel everything that Nia and Cory felt, as if I was there along with them. The love that the two of them had; it’s magical. I cannot help but be curious about what’s in store for the two of them next. I have been reading Shane Morgan ’s books for years, and through the years, we had become good friends. Whenever I read her books, I feel inspired to work on mine that has been a work in progress for a while. One day, I hope to be an excellent writer as she is. I cannot wait for what she has in store for us next. 

Someday is an incredible story about love, friendship, hope, and sacrifice. This is a story that will have to go through emotions from the start until the end. A story that will stay with you, the one you will find yourself returning to.

The heiress . . .
The Resistance fighter . . .
The widow . . .
Three women whose fates are joined by one splendid hotel

 
France, 1914. As war breaks out, Aurelie becomes trapped on the wrong side of the front with her father, Comte Sigismund de Courcelles. When the Germans move into their family's ancestral estate, using it as their headquarters, Aurelie discovers she knows the German Major's aide de camp, Maximilian Von Sternburg. She and the dashing young officer first met during Aurelie's debutante days in Paris. Despite their conflicting loyalties, Aurelie and Max's friendship soon deepens into love, but betrayal will shatter them both, driving Aurelie back to Paris and the Ritz— the home of her estranged American heiress mother, with unexpected consequences. 

France, 1942. Raised by her indomitable, free-spirited American grandmother in the glamorous Hotel Ritz, Marguerite "Daisy" Villon remains in Paris with her daughter and husband, a Nazi collaborator, after France falls to Hitler. At first reluctant to put herself and her family at risk to assist her grandmother's Resistance efforts, Daisy agrees to act as a courier for a skilled English forger known only as Legrand, who creates identity papers for Resistance members and Jewish refugees. But as Daisy is drawn ever deeper into Legrand's underground network, committing increasingly audacious acts of resistance for the sake of the country—and the man—she holds dear, she uncovers a devastating secret . . . one that will force her to commit the ultimate betrayal, and to confront at last the shocking circumstances of her own family history. 

France, 1964. For Barbara "Babs" Langford, her husband, Kit, was the love of her life. Yet their marriage was haunted by a mysterious woman known only as La Fleur. On Kit's death, American lawyer Andrew "Drew" Bowdoin appears at her door. Hired to find a Resistance fighter turned traitor known as "La Fleur," the investigation has led to Kit Langford. Curious to know more about the enigmatic La Fleur, Babs joins Drew in his search, a journey of discovery that that takes them to Paris and the Ritz—and to unexpected places of the heart. . .

Captivating. Mysterious. Unforgettable Story. 

All The Ways We Said Goodbye was such a beautiful story. It did not take me long to get captivated by this story—this story about three strong women, all during different periods. The book's timeline took place in 1914, 1942, and 1962, years apart. I loved how transitions were set, each chapter from a different character and a different timeline. Aurelie, Daisy, and Babs all had their own stories to tell, each going through so much. I thought that starting the book with Babs point of view was a great idea, setting the mood for the rest of the book. The way that the first chapter ended, you cannot help but wonder what happened. I was curious if Aurelie, Daisy, and Babs were somehow connected. I wasn't even aware that Aurelie was Daisy's mother until later. It wasn't until later where it was discovered, that Kit's identity was found and his first love. There wasn't a moment in the book where it wasn't surrounded by suspense. 

I loved the way that romance was portrayed in this book. I was happy to see that Babs was able to find someone after Kit's death. She was hesitant at first, and I understand why she was. On the other hand, I saw the connection between the two of them from the moment they met. Drew is what Babs needed. I believe that trying to discover the identity of "La Fleur" brought the two of them together. I know that it wasn't comfortable that your husband that you loved that he loved someone else first. I did wonder what Babs would do or what she would say if she found "La Fleur." I loved that each of the women; had mysteries of their own. I could not stop reading, making me wish that I had more time in the day to read. I loved all the three characters; I wouldn't be able to choose. While reading from Aurelie, Daisy, and Babs's perspectives, I imagined being there and being in their situation. Each of them was filled with so much courage; always keep on going despite the situation. 

All The Ways We Said Goodbye is not the first book I read by the authors. Karen White has been one of my favorites since 2012. I have read couple books by Beatriz Williams . I wasn't aware of Lauren Willig not until 2018 when I read their book The Glass Ocean, which I loved as well. Now that I have read their books, I cannot wait for a chance to read the rest of their books. I am hoping that they will write more books together in the future. I wondered about the title when I came across the book in the electronic collection at my library. Looking at the title; and the cover, you cannot help but be curious about it. Everything that Aurelie, Daisy, and Babs faced; makes the perfect sense for the title. This book was…incredible; I wish I had more words to explain all the feelings I had while reading this book. All The Ways We Said Goodbye is a story that will stay with you; a book that you will be telling your friends about. This is a story that deserves so much that five stars. 

An Inspiration.

Harley Merlin And The Stolen Magicals(Harley Merlin,#3)

                         ✰✰✰✰

                                         CONTAINS SPOILERS

How does one become an all-powerful Child of Chaos? 

That’s what Harley desperately needs to find out before her unhinged aunt raises the death toll.
All she knows for sure is that magical kids are missing, and they somehow fit into Katherine Shipton’s grand scheme. Now that Harley is an official member of the San Diego Coven, she feels more responsible than ever for its protection—and that of the magical world. 

But she’s got a whole lot more on her plate than that. 

There’s a traitor lurking within the Coven. She still yearns to know the secrets contained within her parents’ Grimoire. And there’s also the fact that she might actually have feelings for a certain stubborn, green-eyed dude… 

All the while, Santana faces her own demons, with a magical Purge building within her and a crush on a boy with a dark side, one that might just lead them to real answers 

 

 

 ❀

Bella Forrest did it again! All of you are aware by now; how much I love this series. I’m not even sure how much more to say; without repeating myself. Harley Merlin is the series that I wished that I discovered sooner, a magical world that I wish I could escape into. I feel like I am there while I am reading the books but wish that such a world existed. This series is impossible not to love, especially if you love books about witches and warlocks. I loved books about witches since I read Harry Potter , and this book has become my second favorite about witches. I might only finish the 3rd book, but I will re-read this in the future. One of my favorites is that there one new character perspective is added in each of the books. Reading from characters from the Coven; gives readers a better view of that certain character. I loved Santana from the start, and I was excited for a chance to read from her perspective in this book. I wasn’t disappointed. 

Santana. She’s a character that you cannot help but love. I loved Tatyana’s story, but I loved Santana’s even more. It did not take me long but to fall with her character more. She was always there for others, like Harley, when she realized that she might need someone. I’m glad that Santana went to her to the New York Coven; I don’t want to imagine what might happen if she didn’t go with her. I am afraid of what might happen with Harley if Santana wasn’t there to stop her. Santana reminds me of one of my best friends. She’s fierce, loyal. There is part of me hoping that we hear more from her perspective. I loved the relationship between her and Raffee; I have wondered about the two of them from the start. I loved that Rafee had a demon in him; it did not stop Santana; it did not change how she felt about him. I do have a feeling that she cares about the demon almost as much as Rafee; at least, it’s the feeling I got. It does seem that he listens to her more than he does Rafee. I’m eager to see what happens next. 

I loved Harley Merlin and the Stolen Magicals , but I felt it did not have as much action as previous books. It did have action, but it took a bit of time to get to it. I feel like the romance between Harley and Wade is a bit slow. I understand why they are trying to deny it, but everyone knows by now how they feel. I’m hoping that it will pick up the pace in the next book. I’m having mixed feelings about Harley in this book, mostly because of her actions, the way she keeps getting herself in trouble. After what happened with her at New York Coven, I’m worried about her and how powerful she seems to be. Katherine, I was starting to wonder if we would meet her. I wondered what would happen when the two of them met. I could almost feel the tension when the two of them came face to face. I know that this battle is far from over. When I reached the end, I wished I had the other book in the series to see what happens next. That ending…I cannot help but wonder what’s in store for everyone; what Harley will discover in that letter. If you love books about witches and warlocks with a twist, this is series to get!

Harley Merlin And The Mystery Twins(Harley Merlin,#2)

 

✰✰✰✰✰

 CONTAINS SPOILERS

A dark past. A hidden power. A dangerous enemy. 

 
Harley Merlin has a lot of unanswered questions in her life. What drove her father to kill her mother? How can she know the true extent of her magical abilities? Has Wade Crowley always been this annoying? 

After the violent gargoyle incident that left many dead, Harley fears what other evil tricks her psychotic aunt has up her sleeve. When she discovers that magical foster kids like herself are in danger, she knows she must do whatever it takes to protect them. 

And it turns out that Tatyana, the Coven’s resident ghost-whisperer, is also willing to make sacrifices and has secrets of her own…

 

 ❀

Oh, man… 

I think I’m in trouble. This series has everything that I love about fantasy books; all put into one book. I cannot get enough of the books, of the adventures that Harley and her friends are facing. Every time I reach the end of the book, I will pick up the next book in the series, eager to see what happens next. I’m glad that my friend got me the first three books in the series. I might have to check if my library has them; I won’t wait long for the other books in the series. I loved the first book in the series, a story that I couldn’t stop thinking about. Harley Merlin and the Mystery Twins was better and had me falling in love again. How did I not discover these books sooner? I’m glad that my friend came across them and told me about them. It’s amazing when you and your best friend have the same taste in books. I had enjoyed the first book; however, Harley Merlin and the Mystery Twins had much more action and mystery. Every page, every incident that happened, had you guessing about what might happen next. 

Ryder Twins. I had never read about characters who were as extreme, as evil as they were. I was suspicious about the two of them when their cards got discovered. The warning sign was them telling they were from San Diego Coven. I wondered if they were working for Katherine and why they caused so much destruction. They were smart, sneaky, and dangerous. I knew that if Harley and the Coven did not find them soon, it wouldn’t end well for anyone. My heart broke for all those families who were thinking that they were safe. I understand why Harley decided to keep the children with their families, but I believe that they would be safer in the Coven. I love Harley, but at times I get annoyed with her, like when she ignores the rules and does what she wants. Rules are there for a reason. I have a feeling that not following them will get her in big trouble one day. I don’t blame Wade for being irritated with her. Besides Katherine, the Ryder twins are the most powerful and dangerous. I dislike them even more than Katherine. 

I loved reading from both Harley and Tatyana’s point of view. I had liked Tatyana from the first book and was curious about her. I wonder how it was for her to have spirits inside of her. When Oberon Marx did not leave Tatyana’s body, I had a bad feeling about it. He said all the right things to convince her. However, I did not trust him. I was glad that they noticed that something wasn’t right with Tatyana and got him out before completely taking over her body. I loved reading from her perspective, and I felt as I got to know her more. You cannot help but love her. That ending, you will want to pick up the next book in the series, to see what happens next. I did. I know that this is going to be a series that will be hard to pull away from. I am already wondering what’s going to happen in the next book. I want to see if Wade and Harley admit their feeling to one another. Everyone knows how they feel, expect for them, it seems like, or they are in denial. I want to see what happens with Jake; I like him and hope he will stay away so Katherine cannot find him. I know that Katherine has something else planned. Harley and Coven’s troubles are far from over.

Harley Merlin And The Secret Coven(Harley Merlin,#1)

                       CONTAINS SPOILERS

 

 When a rogue 19-year-old witch is recruited to help guard an ancient magical Bestiary, a breath-stealing journey begins... 

Being an empath has its advantages. 

 
Harley Merlin can sense people’s emotions, among other things. It’s how she snagged her first job pinpointing cheaters at a casino. 

But she has no clue where she got these freakish powers because she spent her childhood jumping from home to home in the foster system, and her father left her with nothing more than a cryptic note.
Then she crosses paths with a terrifyingly real monster. Which is when a mysterious and annoyingly arrogant young warlock named Wade Crowley steps in, introducing her to a hidden world of beasts, magicals, and covens riddled with secrets—as well as clues about her murky past. 

Whether she likes it or not, this new world is where she belongs. But after a disturbing twist of events, Harley quickly realizes that her past is darker than she could ever have imagined.
And that someone in the coven is out for her blood. 

With the help of Wade and her new friends, she must figure out who the traitor is and why they’re targeting her... Before, the human and magical worlds dangerously collide. 

 

 ❀

 

 Magical. Mysterious. Delightful. 

I wasn’t aware of the series until one of my best friends mentioned it. I was curious about it, Harley Merlin sounded the type of book that I love. She sent me the first two books for my birthday and the third for Christmas. When I picked up Harley Merlin And The Secret Coven within the first few pages of the book, I was hooked. I noticed in the reviews that it was compared to Harry Potter , but to me, it was nothing like Harry Potter . Harley Merlin And The Secret Coven is unique, and you cannot help but fall in love with a magical world. I have read multiple books about witches and warlocks through the years, but I have never read one that dealt with covens. I loved discovering their world, and I was amazed that there was more than one coven. I loved how almost everyone was like a family. While reading the book, there was part of me that wished they existed, and I would love to escape into that world. When Harley discovered it from Wade, I was curious if she would join or walk away. 

Harley. She was one of the characters that I couldn’t help but love. There were moments that she annoyed me based on the way she acted. On the other end, I couldn’t blame her, especially once she discovered the reason behind her being different. Empath. I cannot even begin to imagine how that must feel like to handle others' emotions. I love helping others, but that would be too much for her. I know that it got overwhelming to her at times, mostly when they were in a large group of people. I think Wade disliked it more; I could tell how uncomfortable he was, the fact that she could feel his emotions. He knew that he couldn’t hide the feelings from her; she would pick up on it right away. Wade’s complicated character and you go back and forth between liking him and being annoyed with him. I wonder why he kept fighting with Harley, which is his attraction to Harley. From the moment that the two of them met, there was something there. I’m eager to see if anything happens with the two of them in the next book. 

Harley Merlin And The Secret Coven is not a book that you will be able to put down. I spent hours reading the book. There wasn’t a page where there wasn’t anything happening. I felt as I was there, along with Harley and her friends. I love the mystery surrounding the book, the mystery around who was letting gargoyles out and why. I was sure that Garett, whom I had a bad vibe from the moment he was introduced. That’s why I was in shock when the real person was discovered. I love books where you keep on guessing up until the end. I have an immense feeling that it’s far from over. His reaction when he was caught and arrested wasn’t normal. I cannot get over how blown away I was by this book. When I reached the end of the book, I picked up the next book in the series right away. I cannot wait to see what adventures and challenges await Harley and her friends next.

Fast Girls.

 

                        ✰✰✰✰✰

                                          CONTAINS SPOILERS

Acclaimed author Elise Hooper explores the gripping, real life history of female athletes, members of the first integrated women’s Olympic team, and their journeys to the 1936 summer games in Berlin, Nazi Germany. 

 
This inspiring story is based on the real lives of three little-known trailblazing women Olympians. Perfect for readers who love untold stories of amazing women, such as The Only Woman in the Room, Hidden Figures, and The Lost Girls of Paris. 

In the 1928 Olympics, Chicago’s Betty Robinson competes as a member of the first-ever women’s delegation in track and field. Destined for further glory, she returns home feted as America’s Golden Girl until a nearly-fatal airplane crash threatens to end everything.
Outside of Boston, Louise Stokes, one of the few black girls in her town, sees competing as an opportunity to overcome the limitations placed on her. Eager to prove that she has what it takes to be a champion, she risks everything to join the Olympic team. 

From Missouri, Helen Stephens, awkward, tomboyish, and poor, is considered an outcast by her schoolmates, but she dreams of escaping the hardships of her farm life through athletic success. Her aspirations appear impossible until a chance encounter changes her life.
These three athletes will join with others to defy society’s expectations of what women can achieve. As tensions bring the United States and Europe closer and closer to the brink of war, Betty, Louise, and Helen must fight for the chance to compete as the fastest women in the world amidst the pomp and pageantry of the Nazi-sponsored 1936 Olympics in Berlin. 

 

 ❀

Inspiring. Exhilarating. 

I have always loved books about sports. I have read books about running before, but neither of those was historical Fiction based. For as long as I remember, I have been fascinated by historical Fiction. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago when I fell in love with the genre more. Historical Fiction has become one of my favorite genres to read. Through most of the books, I could imagine myself in the time period, experiencing everything that the characters were facing. Fast Girls wasn’t any different; I felt as I was in the Olympics and Betty, Louise, Helen, and all the others. I have started running a few months ago, and even though I am not a sprinter or don’t run as fast yet, I know the thrill you get when you run. I cannot even begin to imagine the rush you get in the Olympics. When I came across Fast Girls at the library and found out that it took place in 1936, I couldn’t help but be curious. From the moment that I started reading the story, I was blown away. I wanted to see how far these girls would get. 

Fast Girls is another book where I’m not sure I could express my emotions. While reading about Helen, Betty, and Louise’s life and their road to the Olympics, making me want to explore running more. I don’t plan to go into the Olympics, but it sparked my interest in running more. I learned so much about running, sprinting, and relay, which I knew nothing about. I felt more about track and field before I read Fast Girls . When I came across a book as I was surfing for historical fiction books, the title captured my attention. I always wonder what’s the story behind the title. The moment that I started to read the book, it made sense and fit the book perfectly. I loved that Elise Hooper wrote the book in timeline, starting 1928 when Betty Robinson’s Olympic journey began and traveled up until Olympics 1936. I enjoyed reading Betty, Louise, and Helen’s trip to the Olympics. I wondered since their stories were told individually, if they would be brought together at some point. Each of the girls faced a lot of challenges to make it to the Olympics. 

If I were asked which of the girls was my favorite, I don’t think that I would answer. All three of the girls were my favorites in the book. Each of them is a strong woman who kept on going, despite the challenges they were facing. For instance, after the plane crash, the doctors didn’t think she walk again. Betty kept on going and even ended up competing in Olympics in 1936. I loved the bond that all the girls ended up establishing together. I loved that it was based on real-life athletes and love the additional information provided about them at the end of the book. I was fascinated by the story and ended up researching them after finishing the book. I couldn’t get enough of this book. I cannot get out of my head. Fast Girls is a story that deserves more than five stars, a story that everyone should read.

Unspoken Words.

 

✰✰✰✰✰

 

To be blunt, Unspoken Words is one person's story of rape and abuse. It is not for everyone. You can expect this story to illuminate the raw effects of childhood trauma since it is narrated by a victim of abuse that spanned years. It is also a story of hope from the abuse. Most importantly, Unspoken Words creates a platform for victims to speak up. 

 

 ❀

 

 Heart-breaking. Unforgettable. 

This book, it's not easy to read. I received this book from a best friend of mine, and Merlin is one of her best friends. I knew that Unspoken Words would be a hard book to read, and there were some parts more challenging to read than others. I cannot even begin to imagine having gone through something that tragic. I have read few books dealing with sexual abuse, yet this one seemed to hit me the hardest. To have a deal with sexual abuse for that long, it's not something that I want to imagine. Despite the challenging subject, I had a hard time putting it down when I started to read the book. I was eager to find out what happens, hoping that she would find away to get from her abuser.  That her abuser will go for jail, for what he done.

All her emotions were so vivid. I cannot begin to imagine how it was, but it felt as if I could all through her descriptions. I liked that the story was told in the timeline, from the time that it started. I loved her writing style; it gave the feeling as she was speaking to the readers. While reading Unspoken Words , I found myself feeling all of the emotions she was going through, fear, depression, anger, and hope. Unspoken Words is not a story that you will forget. Once I reached the last page, I could not get out of my mind. I wished I knew the author personally so that I could hug her. My heart shattered for her. It is a story that I will never forget.

Wicked Hunt(The Royals:Warlock Court, #2.5)

 

✰✰✰✰

                      CONTAINS SPOILERS 

To take him down, I’d use all of my power…

 
I know exactly who Dario Malback is. I know everything about him. I know all of his dirty secrets and his evil deeds. He is more of a monster than my father ever was...because Dario just likes it.
He needs to go down for what he did. He needs to pay for his crimes and I’ve dreamt of this day for a long time. So when Matteaus asks me and Cross to hunt him down, I don’t hesitate to say yes. I want the man dead, the problem is…he’s Cross’s father. Deep down I know he doesn’t want his own father dead and I’ll do anything to spare him that pain. Now I must find a way to stop Dario without killing him. If I don’t, I may lose Cross forever. 

And that would be the biggest problem ever because I kind of, sort of, accidentally fell in love with Cross. 

To win, I’ll have to walk that fine line between good and evil…but a little bad never hurt anybody, right?

 Once again, there are no words. When Ophelia was introduced in Witch Court at first, I wasn’t sure what to think of her; mixed feelings were mixed. It wasn’t long until she became one of my favorite characters. I started to like her more once I read Warlock Court. I wasn’t aware that Ophelia had a novella until recently, and I was excited for a chance to read it. I couldn’t wait to discover the magical world from Ophelia’s point of view. From the start, I was curious about Ophelia and Cross's relationship, Witch Hunt gave more in-depth about their relationship. At first, I wondered why she denied the attraction that she had for him, the reason why she kept pushing him away. When it was discovered that they were soul mates since they were 14 and took off, it made sense. Ophelia was scared that he would take off again. I did not get that feeling from Cross, and it was clear how much he loved Ophelia. 

Cross. He was one of the characters that I didn’t get to know too much. Witch Hunt explained so much in this book. Cross is a good person. His father, Dario, was evil, yet he couldn’t find him to kill him because he was his father. Despite what his father did, he still loved him. I did wonder what they were going do if they couldn’t kill him. I loved that Ophelia came up with a plan to strip him of his powers but not kill him. Ophelia did so much for Cross, and I wish that she would stop trying to deny it. I know that he hurt her in the past, but that didn’t mean that he would do it again. I wondered how long it would take for her to give in. I was rooting for them. I was rooting for Ophelia to realize that the two of them belong with each other. 

Witch Hunt was action-packed from the beginning until the end. There were few parts in the book that were a bit slow, but they picked up fast. I loved that the point of view went between Ophelia’s and Cross. Those points of view gave us a chance to get to learn more about each of the characters. After reading Witch Hunt , I wished that another book was from Ophelia’s perspective. You can’t help but love her. I love how fierce she is, and she doesn’t let anyone take advantage of her. Ophelia is not a person you want to mess with, but I would love to be friends with. I could not get enough of this book. This series, it’s not the one that I will be able to forget. I’m still thinking about what’s going to happen next. 

Magical. A must-read.

They stole my power…but I will get it back. 

 
My ascension nearly killed me. If I don’t learn to control my magic now it could hurt everyone around me. 

A piece of me is missing, and whether I like it or not, the only person who can help me is Beckett.
And I definitely don’t like it. Beckett is infuriating and overbearing, and no matter where I go he’s always there. He even haunts my dreams, and the more we fight the more intense the dreams become. He wants me to trust him and now I don’t really have a choice. I know he’s keeping secrets from me, but what he doesn’t know is I have some of my own. 

I’m surrounded by treacherous enemies, the devious council, and the scary warlock rebellion…and now I have to make the hardest decision of my life: return to my old, safe life as an average human girl or embrace the darkness inside me and become the warlock I was born to be. 

But I’m no damsel in distress, I will save myself.

  Mysterious. Action-packed. 

Oh, man. I wasn’t prepared for this. I wasn’t ready for my emotions to go in different directions. I have read most of Megan Montero books.She is one of those authors who hooks you from the start until you find yourself reading all the books. She has become one of my favorite authors, and I am always looking forward to her next book. I loved Wicked Wish more than I loved Wicked Omen . There was more happening in Wicked Wish than there was in the first book; it was more action-packed. From the first page until the last page, there was so much happening, and it was impossible to put the book down. I am glad that I decided to read this book before my spring semester started. While reading this book, one more chapter turned into five hours later, every time. There wasn’t a spot where you could stop because when you assumed that you could put down, there was another twist. 

Beckett and Astrid, soulmates. I should see that coming, considering how the two of them acted around each other. Beckett should tell her, and I knew that it wouldn’t end well if Astrid found out that he hid it from her, that he lied to her. When Zinnia found out that Tucker hid from her, she was not happy. Astrid is going to be livid when she finds out the truth. I hope that Beckett stops being stubborn and tells her that I hope she doesn’t find the truth from somebody else. I do wonder why he decided to hide it from her; it’s clear how she feels about him. Their character development in Wicked Wish was astonishing, and I think that the two of them had the most character development. I do like that despite their attraction, they did not fall in love with each other right away; it makes their relationship realistic. I do feel like Beckett was too harsh with her at times, but the way that she acts at times, I can’t blame him. If he doesn’t tell her the truth about his soulmate, their relationship might now survive. 

Odin. I know that he is a demon, but I love the demon cat. It’s unique, and I think it’s funny how he keeps stealing food from Cross. I am curious if anyone will find out that he’s not a typical cat. I know that if Beckett finds out, he won’t be happy. I am hoping that nobody finds out because I like him. That ending… I knew that Astrid would find out the truth eventually. I understand that she’s angry that he hid it from her, but I feel as if she’s too angry. I do hope that Astrid doesn’t turn to the dark side. After that ending, I am eager to pick up the next book in the series and see what happens next. I have a feeling that whatever she has planned for Beckett cannot be anything good. I love this book. I love the characters and the storyline. It’s unlike any books that I have read before. I am eager to see what awaits everyone next.
