Once gain the storyline climaxes and builds on from the previous books in the series. Without giving to much I would like to say that it keeps you surprised and amazed at the contents of its creative descriptive writing. I can imagine the story come to life.

None Shall Sleep

Ok, so you are kidding me right now. I was so excited about this and thought it would be so good but it did not meet my expectations. I was hooked and then I was not and then I was and then I was not. I felt the storyline and plot were not as consistent as they should have been. I am in between rating this a one and a two star but I think it is a one. I would have rated it a two if they ended up kissing but that never happened so now I am upset. I kind of hope there is another one after this since they get another opportunity at the end of the book. I might read if there is one.

Older series from an author I read. Can't believe I missed this one. Lots of exposition and characters. I am assuming each of the characters introduced here will have their own book.

At first I was all, 'Post-apocalyptic religious cult found footage diary??? Let's gooooooo,' but this book works better in theory than in practice. Also, TW: Cat death. ):

The Wicked King

I loved this book so much. The start of the book was pretty slow, as it just followed Jude ruling as Cardans side advisor thing. The ending was AMAZING though. One of the best plot twists I have ever experienced. I wonder how Jude will get her revenge in the next book.

Interesting read. Set in NYC in the 19th century, with some interesting historical information sprinkled into a story of witchcraft.

Giovanni's Room
by James Baldwin

book cover


5 stars. Again, James Baldwin has done it. He has made me feel the need to scream and cry and punch this book so hard with love. Especially as someone who is very good at making scenes / movies in my head with what I read, it feels like heart has been ripped out. I feel for both Giovanni and Hella in all honesty. I feel terrible for the predicaments they have been put in, the outcomes and what they grew / lived around. And though David sucks, I understand how he felt as well being torn between not only his feelings for both Giovanni and Hella, but America, and the people of France that he interacted with. This book really opens the readers eyes on intimacy such as making love with the body and not the person (or vice versa), how the room is not only literal, but a metaphor for how Giovanni is trying to change, or accommodate his life to make one for him and David though it is cluttered with his past. And even at the end, Hella making suggestions to accommodate herself for David to “replace” the feeling he had with Giovanni. Finally, the way I take that ending (which James Baldwin is a master at his endings) is no matter how hard David tries to forget Giovanni: he will always be with him, and the guilt that if David never left, Giovanni would still be here.
