Wondrous Strange (Wondrous Strange #1) by Lesley Livingston - Starting June 3rd 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Seventeen-year-old actress Kelley Winslow thinks that playing the role of the fairy queen Titiana in a production of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream could be her lucky break - if she can pull it off. But when she meets the handsome Sonny Flannery, Kelley has to face the shocking truth that the world of Faeries is all too real - and that she an unwitting part of it. Sonny warns Kelley that she is no mere mortal, and that she is being haunted by powerful forces from the Faerie realm. Now, Kelley must come to terms with her heritage - and her growing feelings for Sonny - if she wants to save not only herself, but also the human world that she holds dear.

I'm starting it today :)

Chapter X (23%) (view spoiler)[I don't really like Kelley that much. I feel like she's the typical female character in YA. Sonny, on the other hand, is more interesting and I'm excited to know more about him.
Also I really enjoy the fact that humans do believe in Faeries in this book, so I'm interested in seeing how Kelley will react to the fact that it is in fact real.
I loved the scene with the horse! It somehow reminds me of all of those paranormal stories that I have read when I was younger and it is a nice feeling.
As of right now I think that it might turn out to be a pretty fun read. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter V
(view spoiler)[ I love the play references ;) but what the heck is up with this horse!? (hide spoiler)]

[Michalina]

Chapter XVI (38%) (view spoiler)[I LOVE the play references! I think it is my favorite thing about this book!
Also Lucky is my favorite character right now, no joke. (hide spoiler)]

[Michalina]

Chapter XX (51%) (view spoiler)[I like the idea that Kelley is the daughter of the Faerie king - I think that will make things more interesting from now on. Also I'm so interested in the Wild Hunt and how it is going to appear in the next chapters. The nights were already pretty intense so I can only imagine what can happen next. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter XXIX (75%) (view spoiler)[I don't know if I like the romance between Sonny and Kelley. I love all the fantastical elements of this story though. (hide spoiler)]

[Michalina]

Final thoughts (view spoiler)[I still like the fantastical elements the most. The plot twist with the Autumn Queen was quite good, I liked how it changed Kelley. But still I'm not a fan of her development through out the book and I really didn't like the romance between her and Sonny. It felt forced and unnatural. Still it was a pretty fun and quick read.

Chapter XVI
(view spoiler)[ Alright, so if someone is hunting her she definitely has to be something important. Maybe she's a lost fairy princess or queen? I haven't read enough backstory yet but it's something important! I wonder if this horse was a messenger of some sort? (hide spoiler)]

XXII
(view spoiler)[
Okay, I love the wild hunt but that's probably because it really reminds me of the mortal instruments series and I got so excited to see what it's actually like! I'm glad the truth is finally out but this is an incredibly slow book so far. We are so close to the end and I feel as though nothing has happened. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[
Terrible. I can't believe it took this long for anything to happen! And it was confusing, was Sonny taken away or not.. because he was able to come back and see the show! And the fact that she is still in this show is crazy to me. (hide spoiler)]
