Pages: 380

Genre: YA Fantasy

Rating: 3⭐

This rating is not because the story is bad but more because you turn in circle for a while and nothing "important" happens. 

However, Leta is one of a MC! 

Nothing was easy to Leta when her parents got the sick and died. She was alone with her brother and then "mother" came but it was not the same... 

Until one day darkness took care of her brother during his sleep and while she was thinking that he was safe... Rowan appear and took them to Lakesedge.

When she arrives at haunted Lakesedge estate, she expects to find a monster. 

She knows the terrifying rumors about Rowan Sylvanan, who drowned his entire family when he was a boy. 

As Leta falls for Rowan, she discovers he is bound to the Lord Under, the sinister death god lurking in the black waters of the lake. A creature to whom Leta is inexplicably drawn…


Now, to save Rowan—and herself—Leta must confront the darkness in her past, including unraveling the mystery of her connection to the Lord Under but the cost can be hard to handle.

Why is the Lord Under saying "for now" at the end?

They All Had A Reason by Michele Leathers

 

Rating: 4⭐

Sixteen-year-old Charlotte is convinced her life would be perfect if she could only get past her bully: A girl named Bellany Silverfield, who seems to have it all -- beauty, popularity, power and the boy of Charlotte’s dreams. 

But when Bellany is murdered, Charlotte’s life doesn't get any better! 

Charlotte worries that circumstantial evidence and rumors of motive will make her a prime suspect. 

Not only that but she is forced to question the loyalty of her closest friends and to place her trust in a boy she barely knows as she see secrets coming out and attitudes changing. 

But who killed Bellany and why are they trying to frame Charlotte? 

As far you go in this book, more you are convinced that you have an answer but only the true will come in the last pages! 

I understood that this is a serie of 6 books so I already ordered the second to keep this tale ongoing!

The Sinister Sickness by Dr. Man

 

Rating: 4 ⭐

Another book that I was able to read via the program Booktasters (Twitter)

Annette is not happy with her sister Constance and with no regrets she ask the Mafia to kill her. 

As Constance's friends try to keep her alive they call Pete to investigate as they saw a lawyer firm letter and think it's related with her money and will

Pete jump to the case to understand and solve it while the doctors fights to keep Constance alive 

But the danger is high and they all are targets!

Even if this book is only 56 pages it's very well done and easy to follow!

The action if super and yes I was more than happy with that end! 

Raven: A Modern Gothic Thriller by Tim Pea

 

I received this book from Booktasters for free and in exchange I shall give an honest review. 

Well at first I got a little bit confused about what the book was about and where Raven' story will fit with the others characters. 

Raven is old but looking young. She most survive in an unique way due a condition that make her unique and alone. 

She cross the path with Susan and Richard not thinking that this will become a problem but Phil die and they want answers. Raven escape from them and ready to start over once more but her past comes back and she must keep going.

While the couple seek for revenge of the death of a friend and Susan's parents, they find themself in a total and more dark situation in the middle of Africa. 

Susan changes after Raven last encounter and Richard don't understand why or how to get his wife back as the only thing she's concerned is to revenge her mother's death. 

This book is full of twists and you can't get for trusted was the characters will do or how they will end. 

As I was reaching the end of the book I was thinking that it was pure luck that Raven "escaped" from Susan but guess what? Tim Pea wrote 3 books and now I must get them to see if Raven, Susan and Richard will see each other again and if so how it ends! 

This book got a full 4 starts rating for me and I hope the others books don't deceive me
