REVIEW: You trilogy by Caroline Kepnes - 5 Stars
Title: You, Hidden Bodies and You Love Me
Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Author: Caroline Kepnes
Synopsis:
When a beautiful aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.
There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.
As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.
A terrifying exploration of how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation, debut author Caroline Kepnes delivers a razor-sharp novel for our hyper-connected digital age.

Book 1: You- this book is crazy good! Joe is a psycho but also has an amazing story to tell. I was captivated by every page and the ending introduces a new character for book two!
Cover rating : 5/5
Rating : 5/5
Book 2: Hidden Bodies- this book amped up the craziness! Joe’s fascination with Amy was even more than Burke. The ending though was a huge cliffhanger. This book had me cheering for Joe to get away with his murders which is insane but true. Haha.
Cover rating : 5/5
Rating : 5/5
Book 3: You Love Me- this book found Joe a little more calm, trying to settle down in a small town until he meets Mary Kay. Then his antics start up again! I loved this book and it was worth the 5+ year wait to see what happened next.
Cover rating : 5/5
Rating 5/5
I highly recommend this series. A solid 5 star series from me!

REVIEW: Fairytales from Verania by TJ Klune - 4.5 stars
Title: Fairytales From Verania
Genre: Fantasy
Author: TJ Klune
Synopsis:
New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune invites you back to the land of Verania in a new collection of short stories starring the beloved characters from the Tales of Verania series.
In the opening story—The Unicorn in the Tower—Gary is a princess trapped in a stone tower by the evil Lady Tina DeSilva, who plans on sacrificing him on the first full moon after his eighteenth birthday. With help from his friends—a bird named Tiggy and a mangy weasel called Sam—Gary interviews potential suitors to rescue him and love him above all others, as he so rightly deserves.
The Unicorn in the Tower is followed by Sam and the Beanstalk, wherein a poor farm boy exchanges his family’s bull for magical beans and the promise of treasure in the sky. But when he climbs the beanstalk, Sam finds things are not as he expected them to be.
The Good Boy sees Todd and his immaculate ears taking center stage. When Todd’s father dies, he leaves his son in the care of his evil stepmother and two stepsiblings who live to make Todd’s life a living hell. It’s not until the household receives an invitation to attend a ball for the mysterious Sir that Todd begins to wish for a life beyond what he knows.
David’s Dragon, the final—and only canonical—tale, is set a thousand years before the rise of the Dark wizard Myrin. It begins simply: a lonely boy in a small village befriends a dragon. What follows is a story of love and sacrifice, hope and heartbreak, and what it means to earn your place amongst the stars.
Welcome back to Verania. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.
