The Archived by Victoria SchwabMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 4.05
Goodreads Summary:
The dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead, called 'Histories', rest in the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often—violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper is dangerous and a constant reminder of those she lost, Da and her little brother. Mac wonders about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. Yet someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
Actual Rating: 5.0
WOW! Amazing! How did this book go so long without falling into my lap?
This book was so good from start to finish! I was literally NEVER bored. How creative of the author to come up with this world and concept! It's so well thought out and executed, I'm really impressed.
The main character is bad ass and the male lead is totally swoon worthy. At first I was like uhhhh... eyeliner and black nail polish? But then as I got to know him I was like ohhhhhhhh okay... Eyeliner and black nail polish!
**SPOILER***
I knew Owen wasn't trust worthy from the beginning. He moved in too fast and he was "too good to be true" in the silence department.
I didn't imagine it ending like that but it was perfect. Not too much of a cliffhanger but enough opportunity to be continued onto another crazy story for book 2 and 3.
Can't wait to read the rest of the series!
