Just answer three questions and share what you're reading.
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?
Storm and Fury is Armentrout's spin-off series of her Dark Elements trilogy and it is so much fun being back in this world. A world of Wardens (gargoyles) and demons and, in this case, plenty of secrets because at 35% in I still have no idea what main character Trinity is or what her purpose in the big scheme of things is. I don't read much YA these days, but I'll always make an exception for JLA.
On Monday morning I finished Long Shot, the first book in this companion series, and I immediately downloaded this second book. I'm brand new to Kennedy Ryan but I am hooked.
WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?
I nabbed Arctic Wild on a whim from Netgalley. This one fell into the good-not-great category. I enjoyed Rueben and Toby's story but I was never fully invested and it felt a bit long.
Oh, my heart. This one was so emotional with subject matter that made it genuinely difficult to take in at times. Ryan created characters that felt so utterly real and placed them in situations that had my pulse pounding and my heart breaking. And the audio version was absolute perfection. I borrowed this one from Hoopla but I've already purchased my own copy from Audible and bought a physical copy from Amazon. It was that good.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL READ NEXT?
I have another ARC for June that I'd like to go ahead and read, Weiner's Mrs. Everything, and then I'm diving right into Red, White & Royal Blue. I'm calling it now... I predict this one will be a 5-star read! ♥
What are you currently reading?
I wanna know! :)
I wanna know! :)
Red White and Royal Blue was really good, and keep me updated on BLOCK shot!
ReplyDeleteWill do! Half of me wants a story just as intense as Long Shot and half feels like I can't take another one. LOL
DeleteOooh I am waiting for Storm and Fury!!! And I hope Block Shot won't destroy you LOL
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking there's no way it can be as emotional as Long Shot was! LOL
DeleteI'm not too far into Red, White, and Royal Blue but I'm loving it so far!! Aw, that's a bummer about Arctic Wild. I read the first and it was kind of a like not love for me too, so we'll see.

Yay! I'm so excited to hear that, Lauren! Makes me even more ready to start it. I'll be interested to see what you think of Arctic Wild.
DeleteI'm looking forward to Storm and Fury despite Zane not being my favourite person in the original trilogy... :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was always firmly on Team Roth, but Zayne has been interesting in this one. :)
DeleteI can't wait to read your review for Red, White and Royal Blue!
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy excited to dive into that one! :)
DeleteI have Mrs Everything too! Hope you love Red, White and Royal Blue!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that we'll both enjoy Mrs. Everything!
DeleteI am listening to Hook Shot right now. I loved Kenan before, but I love him even more in this book.
ReplyDeleteKenan was *just* mentioned in Block Shot. :) I think he's rep'd by Banner? Can't wait to get The Gladiator's story!
DeleteI need to start Storm and Fury soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to start it soon! I'm totally enjoying it so far!
DeleteI hope you love Red, white & royal blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna! I can't wait to start it!
DeleteI realized I said I was reading Arctic Wild in one of your earlier posts but it was the first one. I liked! but I really have no urge to continue for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI'm up next for Red, White & Royal Blue at my library!!! Eeeeeee
Karen @ For What It's Worth
Yeah, when I started Arctic Wild I thought if I loved it I'd go back and read the first one. It was enjoyable enough but I don't plan on reading the first one.
DeleteI can't wait to see what you think of RW&RB!!!
Oh, man you had me at gargoyles even though its YA..i may have to grab it on audio! I adore the cover :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy it if you try it, Kim! The gargoyle aspect s pretty cool. :)
DeleteOh man! Red, Whte, and Blue is everything so far! Reading it so far and I love it so much! And dang I didn't realize the book was so steamy! Don't feel ashamed of book hauls! They are so rejuvenating but these days I am doing library hauls!
ReplyDeleteYou have me even more excited for Red, White & Royal Blue and I didn't think that was possible! :)
