That was SUCH a Beautiful story of friendship and girl power in hard times!!!!!! I really, REALLY loved the characters, Especially Rome!!!!! They were all definitely teenagers, but not 2-dimensional!!!!! This was a Wonderfully written story, with one Hell of a twist!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!! That was a FANTASTIC fantasy!!!!!!! It was really well written, and had a Lot of FANTASTIC themes in it!!!!! I could probably very easily over-analyze several things in this, if I'm being honest!!!!!!!! It was REALLY well paced too!!!!!! I enjoyed the speed of it, without it feeling like it was going too fast!!!!! And the World building!!!!!!! I would LOVE to read more from this world!!!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend if you like High fantasy and stories about finding honor!!!!!!!!!

This was a pretty good suspense story!!! I thought the two different writing styles coming together was really interesting, and the plot was Really good!!! The only thing I didn't like were the characters themselves. They felt too two dimensional. I knew a Lot of people like that in my high school, people who just hadn't developed personalities yet, other than what they saw on high school dramas on tv, so I found the characters to be a bit boring. Other than that, it was pretty good!!!

Honestly, this is more of a 4 to 4 1/2 stars for me, but I'm being lenient about it XD So I really REALLY liked the twist in this, and the plot itself was really good!!! What I didn't like was the change in writing styles. It just did not work. Also, the subplot of the siblings? Annoying. If I had wanted to read about two siblings with one who has cancer, and their relationship, I would've picked up a different book. It wasn't talked about in the synopsis that they would be there, and it was a surprise. A bad surprise. The retelling itself was really good!!! And that's all it should've been. I hope no new Twisted Tales come out written like this one. I like Liz's old style MUCH better, and it fits the genre better. This time, the writing seemed a bit childish to me. Besides the writing style and the parts about the siblings (which got So annoying I ended up skipping those chapters), I did still really enjoy it!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! The character development was PERFECTION!!!!!!!! You know a writer is GREAT when you start the book hating the main character, and end the book wanting them to have the World!!!!!!!! The writing itself was ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!!!!!!!!! The comedic timing was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!! All in all I absolutely ADORED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! T. J. Klune is an Absolute MASTER WRITER!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I technically finished this last night but I was too tired to do anything here so I went to bed XD But!!! That was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! That was SUCH a beautiful retelling!!! It puts Circe in a Much more understandable light!!! If anything, this feels far more real than the original story!!! I really REALLY loved this version!!!!!!

Wow, this.....this was a Huge disappointment, I'm not gonna lie. I've read 1 other of this author's books, This Is Where It Ends, and that was Fantastic!!! I had loved her writing in that one a Lot!!! But this? The writing was boring. Corey, the main character, was so 2 dimensional. I couldn't bring myself to care for her at all. She was a horrible friend who essentially abandoned her best friend when she needed her most. The ending completely sucked. Also, it felt like the author was going more for shock value than actually getting you to care for her characters at all. It gets an extra star purely for diversity, but even then it wasn't much. All in all, this book was depressing and not even Remotely interesting. It basically a story about how a young girl who needed help was abandoned by her best friend and then killed by her town.

My brain is now complete goo and I need to go live in the woods and eat moss

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOD??????????? I JUST WENT THROUGH EVERY HUMAN EMOTION AND THENSOME WHILE READING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok first off the WRITING is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!! Second off the Symbolism??? :chefs_kiss: PEFECTION!!!!!!!!!!! God and that ENDING HAS RUINED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really REALLY wish there was a sequel now like PLEASE I NEED MORE OF THIS UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!! I can't even Begin to process all of my emotions after that!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend if you like well written high fantasy!!!!!!!!!! I need to lay down on the floor for a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE I'M!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok ok I'm having a LOT of feelings about this, but for starters, the Banter was PERFECT!!!!!!!!! They worked SO WELL together!!!!! And I will admit, one of my All Time FAV troupes is Enemies to Lovers, and this does it SO WELL!!!!!!!!!! And that PLOT TWIST GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was Screaming SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! Overall, this is SUCH a cute and well written book!!!!!!!!!! I Absolutely ADORED it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH That was SO GOOD!!!!!!! I really, REALLY liked the motive behind the killings this time, as well as the whole theme of the midnight carnival!!!!!! I've always wanted to go to something like that tbh!!!!!!!!!! I will admit, this Is my least favorite of the series so far, because of the deceit aspect between Audrey Rose and Thomas. I've never been a fan of that troupe, and with the love triangle aspects thrown in, it got slightly tiresome. That being said, I still GREATLY enjoyed it!!!!!! I definitely did not expect who the murderer was this time, either!!!!!!!

OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!! That was Every bit just as good as the first one!!!!!! I had No Inkling of who the killer was this time, I was SO SHOCKED AND HURT!!!!!!!! I also REALLY loved the character development of our 2 mcs, and how the relationship changed and was challenged throughout the book!!!!!! Definitely will be starting the third book ASAP!!!!!!

This was a very fun story!!! I found the writing to be a little slow and tedious, but the story itself is good!!! I will say, though, that I do like the movie a little better

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO GOOD but Also I'M SO UPSET!!!!!!! This is Definitely one of those Roller Coaster Books!!!!! I have SO MANY feelings and I want to tear something apart with my teeth!!!!!!!!! Anyways, trying to be a human being again, that was SUCH a well written fantasy!!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend if you want your feelings hurt!!!!!!!

Reading this felt like someone methodically cutting me away from my body (affectionate)!!!!!! This made me feel emotions that I STILL can't process, and I technically finished this last night!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!

This was really good!!! It didn't resonate with me quite as much as the first one did, but I still really liked it!!!!!!

THIS WAS SO SOOOOOO FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I want to Scream and Scream about it!!!!!! Ok first off, the Diversity was SO GOOD!!!!!!! It has a Non-binary werewolf (and they are EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED OUT OF A WEREWOLF), a bi witch who uses hearing aids, Lesbian grandmas, And a fat friend who's a scientist!!!!!! I fell in LOVE with these characters SO FAST!!!!!!! And the Writing itself is So much Fun!!!!!! It's suuuuper fast paced too, I couldn't put it down until I had read it all in one sitting!!!!!! HIGHLY recommend this if you like graphic novels and fantasy books!!!!!!!!

This was a FANTASTIC Work of historical fiction!!!!!! I absolutely ADORED all the main characters, Especially “Beth”!!!!! While I did see quite a few things coming, several things were Very unexpected!!! Overall I thought was writing was Very well done, especially how the growing romance was written!!!!!! The YEARNING!!!!! That's what really makes a Good romance, especially in Historical fiction!!!!!!

This was an Extraordinary disappointment. I had Very high hopes for this one because the synopsis sounded Delightful and fun. Instead, this was a complete disaster. For one, the writing style is much like what you would expect a middle schooler to write like, not an Adult Woman with a husband.

Example: “If there's something to be learned from Big Jim's horror films, it's that you should never insert yourself into a precarious situation, especially if you're a scantily clad blonde with breast implants or a MoFo with black skin.”
Not only is this childish, but that last part was Completely unnecessary and, quite frankly, offensive. I could find more but I don't feel like wasting my time on it.

Another thing was that the character, S.T. (which, by the way, stood for “Shit Turd”, because this wasn't obnoxious enough), was a horrible representation for crows. All he was concerned with for the majority of the book was humans, to the point where, in some parts, he Actively attacked other crows instead of working with them. Now, I will say, in the end he was able to put aside his differences to work with one murder of crows, but for the majority of the book all he cared about were humans, or animals who had lived with humans.

This does get 2 stars instead of 1 because the plot was pretty original, and S.T. did grow up a little in the end, but for the majority of the book, I was incredibly annoyed both by the writing and by S.T.'s actions. I had been so looking forward to this too -_-

This was SUCH a FANTASTIC series!!!!!! I LOVED (most of) The characters and their arcs!!!!! I'm also Very glad it ended the way it did, though the final part felt a bit rushed to me. I feel like it would have been more satisfying if they had talked about the actual trial a Little bit more. I'm also Very upset about my Favorite character being LEFT BEHIND :'((((((( My final issue with this (and this is honestly an issue with the who series) is that I did Not like any of the Romantic pairings. They all felt a little flat to me. I liked the characters individually!!!!! I just don't think the Romance was necessary. That being said, I ADORED the world building and writing style!!!!!! I'm definitely going to be thinking about this series for a While!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was So much better than the first book!!!!! I really REALLY loved all of our main characters, Especially Nik!!!!! I thought they worked a lot better together than the first two!!! I will admit, though, I personally think Hanna and Kady should be together, not Nik and Hanna. They do work together well!!! It's just that Hanna and Kady get along like a Wildfire, and I will admit I think Nik deserves someone who is kinder to him than Hanna. Also Kady still deserves better than Ezra. Anyways, that being said, I am IN LOVE with this universe!!!!!! I'm SO EXCITED for the next one!!!!!!

I really Really liked this!!! The overall plot was FANTASTIC!!!! And while definitely different, the writing style was Really fun once I got used to it!!! I also Really LOVED Kady and (most) of her character arc. The reason it's 4 stars instead of 5, however, is Ezra. I thought he was annoying, and quite honestly? Unnecessary to the story. I would have liked this a Lot better if he wasn't in it at all. Especially his “romance” (if I can even Call it that) with Kady. It felt so stale and forced, it was aggravating to have to read through those parts as well as the rest of the book. Their “romance” was completely unnecessary, and just shows how many authors love to put romance as a subplot device, even when it detracts from the actual story. Besides that however, I Loved it!!! This is a Very good sci-fi plot, and I LOVED several of the side characters!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! That was a FANTASTIC sequel to Bird Box!!!!!!! I will admit that for the Majority of the book, I really hated Malorie as a character, her choices and the way she treated her kids Pissed me off. However, she did Slightly (only slightly) redeem herself by the end!!! I absolutely ADORED Olympia though, and Loved hearing more about her!!!!! Overall I really REALLY liked this, this is still one of the best horror plots I've ever read!!!!!!

OH MY GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!! That was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!! First off, the Diversity in this was PERFECTION!!!!!!! I really Really LOVED how all the characters were written!!!! I care these characters SO MUCH!!!!! And the romantic TENSION!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I really Really LOVED this SO MUCH!!!!!!

This was SO ADORABLE!!!!!!! I really felt for Blob Ghost being stuck in the mall, and it was Wonderful to see how much Beetle truly cares for her friends!!!!! Overall I really REALLY liked the characters, and this has Such a good example of how good gentle kids can become Very mean because of the adults who are caring for them!!!! Definitely recommend if you want something fast and cute!!!!! Also, this is a Really great book for young kids too!!!!!!!!
