One-Sentence Summary: In the sequel to The Gilded Wolves, the gang travels to Russia to find a lost artifact to survive and become more powerful than ever.

King of Fools by Amanda Foody
One Sentence Summary: Sequel to Ace of Shades features even more gangs and political intrigue. My Review: Well. First of all, Narinder was done dirty. He’s my favorite character but he barely has time on the page. [MILD SPOILER I GUESS BUT NOT REALLY] I feel like his only purpose was to be Levi’s badContinue reading “King of Fools by Amanda Foody”
A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab
One-Sentence Summary: Finale to the Shades of Magic series with a great deal of possession and punching. My Review: Well then. From page one on, I was first and foremost hurt.
