From Blood And Ash




FROM BLOOD AND ASH

BY: JENNIFER L ARMENTROUT

RATING:
4.5 WINE GLASSES


Okay, I am SQUEALING. Even when JLA makes me angry and frustrated, I really just want to grab her hand and jump around with her because I actually LOVE it. This book was such a wonderful surprise; it’s fresh, exciting, and all around the most swoooony read I’ve picked up in a while. There’s so much sexual tension, I would put my iPad down and do one of those weird happy dances, and then proceed to read, and then I would do that same happy dance like ten minutes later. This happened for a very long time. Even after finishing around 3am, I was so pent up on happy energy that it took me another 45 minutes to even get my mind to just not think about this book. Which was so DIFFICULT. How was I supposed to stop thinking about Hawke, Poppy, and THIS AMAZING PLOT? I'm fully aware that this review is basically me sobbing/fangirling online, but just read this book. It’s nothing too heavy, it’s a fun easy, read, the characters have so many layers, and the plot is actually super intriguing. But honestly, we all know JLA is here for the romance, and I was TOTALLY okay with that. 

First, a very accurate image of me every ten pages:

WoW #10



Waiting on Wednesday

Hi Everyone! Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss books we’re eagerly anticipating. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, which is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

My Wow for this week is:


Title: Crave
Author: Tracy Wolff
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Publication Date: April/07/2020

Summary (from Goodreads):

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.

Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.

Which could spell death for us all.

Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait


I am seriously just sitting here waiting for this book. It's been allllll over book twitter and I've heard so many incredible things that I need it to be April now. So so excited, plus, I haven't read a good vampire book in a while! 


What are you waiting on??
