Return to the Isle of the Lost
Return to the Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz


There's no place like home. Especially if home is the infamous Isle of the Lost. Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay haven't exactly turned their villainous noses up at the comforts of Auradon after spending their childhoods banished on the Isle. After all, meeting princes and starring on the Tourney team aren't nearly as terrible as Mal and her friends once thought they would be. But when they receive a mysterious invitation to return to the Isle, Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay can't help feeling comfortable in their old hood—and their old ways. Not everything is how they left it, though, and when they discover a dark mystery at the Ise's core, they'll have to combine all of their talents in order to save the kingdom.



My Review: 

Mood? lighthearted

Pace? Medium

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
These will make  more sense if you read the 1st and the 2nd one back to back otherwise you will probably get lost in what happening in the series.

Review: Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth

Wicked Minds by R.A. Smyth I may have escaped their house but there is no running from Grayson, Royce, and Logan. Not when Royce knows my most precious secret, Logan refuses to let me go, and Grayson hates to see me remotely happy. As if I don’t have enough to deal with already, between worrying about my daughter and dodging my sleazy boss, not to mention keeping up my grades, now I have to worry about what Royce might do with my secret while attempting to get over Logan and avoid Grayson at all costs. Except Halston is a small campus, and at least one of them keeps showing up in my life. It makes forgetting they exist impossible. However, when shit hits the fan, they’re the ones I end up turning to. The only ones I can trust. Who knew my life would only get more complicated second semester? My Review: My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book was okay. The Split was okay, but I feel like this story is being drawn out more than when it needs to be.

Review: Link by Serena Akeroyd

Link by Serena Akeroyd LILY He’s rough.  He’s ready.  I’m neither.  I’m a sacrificial lamb just waiting to be slaughtered. A socialite spawned by a sadist whose life’s work is to cause misery in others.  My life is a prison cell, until  he  helps me find the key.  He’s not as dark or as dirty as they say he is.  His roughness stirs something in me.  Something primal.  Something no socialite should crave.  He’s a brother in an MC, a world that should be alien to me but somehow, it’s my first real home. It has rules and regulations that make no sense to me, but  one  thing is clear:  Society princesses and MC brothers aren’t a match made in heaven.  But I’m fine with ruling over hell instead…  LINK is the second book in the eleven-book ‘A Dark & Dirty Sinners’ MC’ series.  It is  not  a standalone. My Review: My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is really good I really enjo...
