    Hell Bent

    Hell Bent

    Leigh Bardugo

    Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. Alex Stern is back and the Ivy League is going straight to hell. Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. A simple plan, except people who make this particular journey rarely come back. But Galaxy “Alex” Stern is determined to break Darlington out of purgatory―even if it costs her a future at Lethe and at Yale. Forbidden from attempting a rescue, Alex and Dawes can’t call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they will have to navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artifacts to uncover the societies’ most closely guarded secrets, and break every rule doing it. But when faculty members begin to die off, Alex knows these aren’t just accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if she is going to survive, she’ll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university’s very walls. Thick with history and packed with Bardugo’s signature twists, Hell Bent brings to life an intricate world full of magic, violence, and all too real monsters.

    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 3.0Characters: 3.0Plot: 3.5Audiobook: 3.0

    The story itself is pretty decent. The characters are a bit boring half the time. And there's some very messed up things that happen in this book that I was not expecting.

    However, my biggest issue with this audiobook, is the narrator. He kind of made the story seem a bit more boring than it probably is. And there were many parts where he went so low, that even with the volume on my phone turned all the way up, I still could not hear him.

    I do not recommend the audiobook version of this.

    Enjoyment: 4.5Quality: 4.5Characters: 4.0Plot: 4.0

    There was a lot different from the movie. I have seen the movies many times. I rewatch them at least once a year. But there were so many differences between the two. Missing characters, deaths that happened in the book but not the movie, and so much more.

    I usually tell my husband the differences between a movie and book, but there was so much with this one that I told him to just listen to the audiobook.

    Overall, it was a great book! I did like most of the characters. And of course there was a few I didn't like.

    There were many times when I was stressed or scared for the characters. Times when I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. I didn't want to put it down most of the time.

    The only thing that got me was when there was science talk. I am not a science person, but I still love books that have that in there. Weird...probably. lol

    I am excited to read book 2 though! And then it will be time for another rewatch of the movies!

    I would have liked it better if we never found out who sent the letters.

    There were some twists and reveals that were very unexpected.

    The biggest thing that got to me about this book was that the main character noticed the difference in her friend from when she first met him. 3 times. Within the span of 3 chapters that felt like it was one after another. We get it. He looks different. The 2nd time it was mentioned was whatever. But the 3rd time that came up, so close to the other 2 times, made me wonder if the author forgot she put that in the book already... twice.

    Other than that though, it was a pretty good book.

    Till Summer Do Us Part

    Till Summer Do Us Part

    Meghan Quinn

    From New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a new laugh-out-loud summer rom-com. "I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be hefty…finding a husband by tomorrow."  Scottie Price just started a new job, and it's a real sausage fest. She's the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married. In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her nonexistent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution―a one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her boss's husband. With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire. Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottie's co-workers where she'll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.
