Yes it is so amazing right ? I especially love the concept and theme and moral grey theme of monsters of verity. The ending killed me tho and made me want to throw the book against the wall like 10 times 😂😩😩 vicious is good , but to me it felt like it could be better I missed the spark you know? Definitly also want to pick up her darker shades of magic triology

I agree, I absolutely loved how Monsters of Verity is such a dark series that really makes you question what’s right and wrong. I’ve actually read the first book of the A Darker Shade of Magic series and it was really good, I’d highly recommend it! I’m definetely planning on continuing the rest of the series sometime.
Oooh that sounds good , definitly want to pick it up. And yes exactly it makes you question things and you see different sides of the story wich I loved. How did you feel about the ending of our dark duet ?
It definetely saddened me, but it was meaningful to the story, and made the book so much more impactful. Kate was my favourite character though :(
I'm currently reading The Cruel Prince and it's definitely something. I hate the prince so much what's his name again Cradan?
Haha aaaah I also hated Cardan somuch in the first book like so so so much. But throughout the triology he has grown on me and many others I think👀
I hope he has character development, I'm still early in the book and trying to get used to the characters. I just want the main character to kick his ass. Argh, I even forgot her name.

If you enjoy morally grey charracters and a moral grey hate hate love ish relationship and a lot of backstabbing and politics then i think you will like this book :)
I am currently in the second book by Jennifer L. Armentrout in her dark elements triology and i am enjoying it , so far i do like the first book more tho but it is good and really fun
I haven't read abt that book and thx. pls tell me how you do that qoute thing, do you use a computer? Cause I'm currently using my phone.
Ah yes Jude, I already like her character very much but sometimes I just feel for her and what shes been through.
i never read a jennifer l. armentrout book, but from ash and blood has got me intrigued bc of the hype it was getting and i also heard amazing thinsg baout the dark elements trilogy, but for some reason i just keep avoiding her books.
btw i'm currently reading before the devil breaks you by libba bray and it is so good! although i think i may prefer the second one. not sure yet tho. i have 100 pages left so i plan to finish it tonigh so wish me luck lol

I think it is either a hate or love for people because it does have tropes that she does every book like enemies to lovers , a lot of banter , sassy love intrest. But she does it in a really good special own way in my opinion so i do really love that. Her books are just really great fun fast reads , they are so easy to read and get lost in. They have a fast plot but still depht , i would say definitly try and see if it is your thing :)
Okay, so right now is my first time reading A Court of Thorns and Roses and it is pretty good. It is interesting and the characters are well built up in my opinion. I am not that far through and it is taking me soo long to finish because I keep stopping to analyze every sentence, lol. Has any one else here read this book?
Lucy Tonks wrote: "i never read a jennifer l. armentrout book, but from ash and blood has got me intrigued bc of the hype it was getting and i also heard amazing thinsg baout the dark elements trilogy, but for some r..."i also really want to pick the diviners series up some time the only thing that annoys me is the covers , the first few books have different covers and i hate that haha , i just cant deal with that [ i read all my books physically and i hate not matching covers on my shelves haha oops] but they sound good , waht do you like the most about the serie?
Paula Lucas wrote: "I haven't read abt that book and thx. pls tell me how you do that qoute thing, do you use a computer? Cause I'm currently using my phone." Yeh , you can only do that when you are on a computer of laptop so not on your phone :)
Elisa_Bookaholic wrote: "Okay, so right now is my first time reading A Court of Thorns and Roses and it is pretty good. It is interesting and the characters are well built up in my opinion. I am not that far through and it..."YES the court of thorns and roses triology is my fav triology of all time. I love sarah as a writer [ totally get why some people wont but i love her and her writing] the second and third book are especially really good and turns everything arround , but you will get what i mean once you get to those. I hope you will love it. I just feel like the triology does such a great job at charracters and it is such a strong and important story overall about struggeling and hope.

@krista i read books physically too, and it really bothers me that the diviners cover are not matching! like i have the first two covers matching (although i hate those covers), then i have the hardcover for the third book and the paperback for the forth book. i'm will forever be annoyed when i look at my shelves and see this series is not matching.

Lucy Tonks wrote: "i loved king of scars! i am so excited for the sequel"SAME cant wait to know how things will turn out
I finished King of Scars yesterday, and I loved it so much! All those plot twists at the end are really keeping me in suspense for the next book!

IKR, how is Leigh going to resolve all those issues at the end!? And I really want to know what the title of the next book is going to mean. Like maybe it has something to do with Trassel...
i was and still am so mad about the way king of scars ended. i need the next book so much!
I am currently in From blood and Ash , very curious about this one. So far i loved everything i have readed from Jennifer L. Armentrout so we will see , i kinda set my expetations high. So far i am 200 pages in and i do feel like it is a little slow so far i feel like i am waiting for big thinks to happen and for the story to suck my in that hasn't happend yet. I do think Poppy her gift is very intresting so far and i need more of Hawke.
That's on my tbr list! I never read Jennifer L. Armentrout's stories, curious about them but never had the chance to read them. I heard so many great things about from blood and ash, and all of my trusted book reviewers actually liked it so I will start reading it when 2021 starts

I did read the sark elements triology by her wich i loved a lot , definitly reccoment that one aswell , it kinda reminds me of sarah j maas her books. It is a great combination in this case of urban fantasy and such a great romance. Also readed her habringer series and loved that one aswell same case as dark elements its the prequel to the dark elements triology :)
The wicked king by holly black
i'm currently reading flashback by shannon messenger. and so far i think this is my least favourite in the series. i still love it, but idk i just don't love it as much as the first books. but tbh thsi is also 850 pages book and i've inly read 200 pages so there still is a lot that can happen.
I'm currently reading Lady Midnight by Cassandra clare
Eyram wrote: "I'm currently reading Lady Midnight by Cassandra clare"i really wanna read that one , so far i only readed the infernal devices tho and i heard of people that you need to read Tmi first before lady midnight and that triology but like i have no intrest in reading timi mainly bc i watched the show and hated clary and jace somuch... so i honestly just dont know what to do , what is your opinion on that? should i read tmi first , is it worth reading or can i just start lady midnight
Also if anyone else has advise for me just let me go because i just dont know what to do haha
the tv show is different from the books. like WAY different. i could not watch more than the first season of the tv show. tmi is the weakest cassandra clare series, but i still love it. and lady midnight is a MASTERPIECE. even if you don't like tmi as much as tid (which i don't think you will), it really is worth finishing tmi just to read tda.
Lucy Tonks wrote: "the tv show is different from the books. like WAY different. i could not watch more than the first season of the tv show. tmi is the weakest cassandra clare series, but i still love it. and lady mi..."Thanks for the advise Lucy:) But i do need to read TMI before lady midnight , you cant read lady midnight before readong tmi serie?
not really, since the end of city of heavenly fire is pretty much connected to lady midnight. although there is a 5 year gap between the two series, they are very connected, like the main characters from tda are present in city of heavenly fire and that way we kinda see why the things are the way they are in tda.

I've read tmi, tid and Chain of gold as well

You really should just ignore the show and go with the books, they are way better
