Evertrue by Brodi Ashton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.60

Goodreads Summary:
Now that Nikki has rescued Jack, all she wants is to be with him and graduate high school. But Cole tricked Nikki into feeding off him, and she’s begun the process of turning into an Everliving herself... which means she must feed on a Forfeit soon — or die.

Terrified for her survival, Nikki and Jack begin a desperate attempt to reverse the process using any means possible. Even Cole, who they expected to fight them at every turn, has become an unlikely ally — but how long can it last? Nikki needs to feed on Cole to survive, Cole needs Nikki to gain the throne in the Everneath, Jack needs Nikki because she is everything to him — and together, they must travel back to the Underworld to undo Nikki’s fate and make her mortal once more. But Cole isn’t the only one with plans for Nikki: the Queen has not forgotten Nikki’s treachery, and she wants her destroyed for good. Will Nikki be forced to spend eternity in the Underworld, or does she have what it takes to bring down the Everneath once and for all?

In this stunning conclusion to the Everneath trilogy, Brodi Ashton evokes the resiliency of the human spirit and the indomitable power of true love.

Actual Rating: 5.0
Fantastic! Amazing! Absolutely wonderful!

I honestly don't know why this series isn't that popular in the YA world.. This book was the PERFECT ending to the series.. It's definitely a page turner, once I started I just couldn't stop. I wanted to savor it and make it last but once I got about 5 chapters in I HAD to know what happened..
[ I always rooted for Cole & Nik to have a happily ever after but it was clear right away that this wasn't gonna happen. I wasn't mad about it though, not even a little. Jack and Becks are perfect for each other, they're soul mates, they would literally go through "hell" (aka the Everneath) for each other. The strength of their love shows through completely throughout this book and really who can fight that?? NO ONE! The way Brodi Ashton tied Cole into this story was absolutely heart warming.. When he re-appeared as a child-like amnesiac my heart melted..

I absolutely love the way Cole got tied in to the story and I love the last chapter where Cole and Nik are the only ones left in the Everneath and everything comes together.. I love that the author made a solid decision and picked Jack for Nikki but didn't completely exile Cole from the relationship.. It was absolutely perfect. (hide spoiler)]

Honestly, I can't imagine this series ending any other way. THANK YOU BRODI ASHTON <3

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 4.17

Goodreads Summary:
Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.

Eleanor... Red hair, wrong clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good enough...Eleanor.

Park... He knows she'll love a song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes her want to keep promises...Park.

Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.

Actual Rating: 4.8

Fan-frickin-tastic.

What an adorable little love story! I'm sad that it took me so long to discover this author! She is pure genius! She comes up with these characters that are so multi-dimensional and I get completely lost in them.

I didn't relate with any of the characters in this book but I still connected with them on a probably unhealthy fangirl level.. I commit to read every book this author ever rights and I am begging for a "part II" or even movie rights to both this book and !
