Review: Rookie
Rookie by Rebecca BarberMy rating: 5 of 5 stars

Release Date: December 8th, 2022
Page Count: 303
Start Date: December 7th, 2022
Finish Date: December 8th, 2022
Review:
Story: This is the fifth book that I've read in this world and by this author. To say that both have become a favorite is a serious understatement. I'm obsessed with knowing what happens to everybody in the series! The writing style of Barber is just so unique. I can't wait to see other books written by her. These books can be read alone, but I seriously think they should all be read. Even if they aren't read in order. All of these books pack so much humor, spice, and thrill!
Characters: I was really happy to see that Seth got his own book. There were times that I was not happy with his attitude, but he didn't stay in those attitudes long. There were times that I wanted to jump into the book and yell at both him and Clare to get it together. Maybe even shake them a bit. Lovingly, of course. I still adored both of them! Especially Clare. She's so strong, but vulnerable and scared. I also loved seeing characters from other books. Especially Bryce, Emma, Luca, and Elise.
Critiques: As if!
Final Thoughts: When I first started reading these books, I knew that I would like them. I like sporty books. Romance or not. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with the series. With every single character and their stories. I wasn't expecting to become obsessed. This author is now on my instant buy list! She's such an amazing writer!

Review: The White Pavilion
The White Pavilion by Ruth FoxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Title: The White Pavilion
Author: Ruth Fox
Release Date: December 4th, 2022
Page Count: 547
Start Date: December 3rd, 2022
Finish Date: December 4th, 2022
Review:
Story: I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this book. I really wasn't hooked in the beginning and there were many parts in the book itself that I really didn't care for. I won't get into the details of the negatives. They really are more personal preferences than the actual writing. I think the author had a wonderful writing style to be honest. The idea of the book is unique. It is a slow start, but it does pick up. I also loved the fact that this book had more than five hundred pages!
Characters: I really didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. I don't think I'm really supposed to. I really did love seeing the journey of them though. I think this would have been better told in multiple points of view if I'm being honest.
Critiques: None
Final Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book, and I'm so glad that I read it. I'm curious to see what other books that the author brings us. I really love their writing style. I recommend this book to anybody who love futuristic or dystopian type novels. It's creative and unique. I would like to point out that I felt it was a slow start. I also found a few triggers. Such as SA, DA, and misogynistic situations.

Review: Betrayed
Betrayed by P.C. CastMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just finished reading Betrayed. The second book in the House of Night series by P.C. and Kristin Cast. This book is about Zoey trying to figure out why she keeps seeing fledglings who have died around the school. There are also human teenagers who keep disappearing. The way their bodies are found make it look like vamypres are killing them. It's up to Zoey and her friends to help find out the truth before more human teenagers die.
I really love this series. I'm not ashamed to say it's my favorite series of all times. I know that not everybody agrees with my opinion of this book. That's okay with me, but I fully encourage everybody to give this series a chance. I believe many people will adore it as much as I do. Zoey couldn't be a better main character. The personality the authors have given her is just endearing. She's so easy to relate to.
*Second Read*
I just finished reading Betrayed. Betrayed is the second book in the House Of Night Series. Human high school kids are disappearing. They are later discovered dead. Their deaths are made to look like vampyres are responsible. Can Zoey and her group figure out what’s happening and stop it before it’s too late? Are they strong enough to do so while dealing with the loss of someone close to them?
I really love this series. This isn’t the first time I’ve read this book. I haven’t read the last few books in the series though so I’m re-reading this series to refresh my memory. One of the things I love most about this book, and the entire series, is the fact that the characters are real. They all have real problems they go through. They aren’t characters you see in a lot of places that just happen to have all the money they need at exactly the right time. They experience hardships just like everybody else.
There wasn’t really a whole lot I liked about this book. There are some consistency issues. They are very minor though and you’d have to be really paying attention to spot them out. They are overlookable in the grand scheme of the whole picture though. I wonder sometimes if they are really inconsistencies or if it’s just me being a little overly picky about small details.
If fully recommend this book, and the series in general, to anybody who is interested in paranormal books. It is mainly for young adult audiences, but I don’t think it matters who read it. If a reader likes it, they like it. I do recommend that they read the series in order though. It’s less confusing that way. I’m so honored to have read this book.
