Reviews of Book Series on The Candid Cover YA Book Blog.
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera is unlike anything I’ve read before. It is a story about living life to the fullest as it follows the last day of two new friends. The characters are both likeable, and the writing brings a lot to the book. Although I knew the ending right from the beginning, it still came as a bit of a shock. Continue reading
Ringer by Lauren Oliver, the second instalment in the Replica series will not disappoint fans of the series. Ringer is just as eerie, and the original layout of the book is the same as the first. My favourite story was Gemma’s, but Lyra’s is still gripping. If you have yet to pick these books up, I definitely recommend that you do so this fall. Continue reading
Kiss Me in New York by Catherine Rider is a cute read that will cheer you up this winter. Although a bit clichéd, the story of two strangers meeting at an airport in New York is so entertaining. The idea of two people bonding over a breakup is heartwarming, and the main character is logical and doesn’t whine. This story is super short and can easily be read in one sitting. Continue reading
Warcross by Marie Lu has got to be one of the best YA sci-fi books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot of books. It tells the story of a girl working behind the scenes of a virtual reality game to stop a sinister plan. The world is absolutely incredible, and no details are overlooked. The main character is so brave and comes a long way from the beginning of the book as well. This is a YA book series that should be on everyone’s TBRs. Continue reading
The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee is an amusing book. It tells the story of a group on a tour of Europe and contains such likeable characters. I listened to the audio version of the book, and I can definitely say that it completes the epic experience of the story and does and amazing job transporting the listener to 18th century Europe. This book is so original, and I would consider it to be a must-read this year. Continue reading
