Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning
Backstage Pass - Olivia Cunning

It wasn't what I expected but I have to admit I was hooked. I loved the characters. Brian was so sweet and his feelings for Myrna were really strong. And Myrna was an awesome character. She loved rock music, had a backbone (she made the famous rock stars clean the tour bus), and stood up for Brian's parents when she saw how they treated their son.
Sure, the story had too many sex scenes, actually most of the time the main characters were like Duracell bunnies, not realistic at all, but the way Brian heard music while having sex with Myrna was fascinating. And it made the story humorous. The first time she wrote music on Myrna's body I was laughing my head off. 
I'm not sure I like Sed but I'll give his story Rock Hard a try.

I love it!
Gypsy Origins - Kristy Cunning

Okay, so so far this is the best book in this series!

I love the way we learn more about Violet and what tape of monster she is o rather where her monster originated from because I'm still not really sure about the whole species thing but we learn more and more about Arion, Vance, Emit and Damien's past and I'm really intrigued.

I have to say that in this book Emit was my favorite simply because so far he was the only one of the guys who had sex with Violet and didn't over analyse it later on like Vance or Damien did and even though those two got their shot at a manege with Violet in this instalment, Emit still is my favourite for now.

Arion is batshit crazy but thanks to the background story I kind of understand him a little more but I'm still not clear what he really wants in the end and I suspect that he doesn't know it either.

I can't wait for the next book to come out ad am really happy that there will be more books to come because I love Violet and the guys and I don't want to say goodbye to them just yet

A Rare Book Of Cunning Device
A Rare Book of Cunning Device - Ben Aaronovitch,Kobna Holdbrook-Smith,Audible Studios

A Rare Book of Cunning Device is a short audiobook free on Audible that is a part of the ever expanding universe around PC Peter Grant and his 'Falcon' adventures. I like how the series is spread across all different ways of reading (besides the main books and some short stories, the graphic novels - for me at least - have become an integral part of the series).

It's too short, but way too good to miss if you're into the series. It focuses on The British Library, which is a wonderful place by the way if you've never visited it.

Crooked Kingdom
Crooked Kingdom: A Sequel to Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

Six of Crows was so good it would be hard to make a sequel but Leigh Bardugo succeeded with Crooked Kingdom begin even better. The plot was even more complicated than in Six of Crows but just as easy to follow. There where so many twists and turns; so much plotting and countering it blew my mind. In this book we get to experience so much character development; Kaz starts to become more human, we see more of Pekka Rollins and explore the fears of each member of the team. We got input from Wylan how his appearance effects him and Jesper both. Bardugo sets up Kaz and Inej and it is interesting to explore why their relationship is so cautious whereas Jesper and Wylan can love each other with no strings attached. Inej can see the good in Kaz but believes that if he doesn't give up parts of the monster he has created of himself she can't help him and will move on with her life. It almost saddens me that she found a purpose and will leave the gang. It makes sense that she will hunt slavers and I hope that one day Kaz can join her. I think that would help them both work though their fears. Jesper is a particularly interesting charter because unlike all the others he has a live to go back to and chose life in the barrel. His need for risk drove him to the barrel and gambling. I think that if Jesper's father had understood that need Jesper would not have become a gambler and sharpshooter. Although Nina is my least favorite character the new development in her grisha power is intriguing and I wished there was more time to explore it. I understand why the Bardugo had Mathias killed; it had to happen to further the character of Nina. After Mathias is killed Nina goes through stages of wanting to bring him back with her newfound character and hating herself for not being able to heal him, she decided that it was even more important to make more of the druskelle see their point of view on the grisha. Wylan was intriguing to me because unlike everyone else he came a very privileged background and had one flaw that took it all away from him. He dealt with it exceptionally well considering that he cant read. I wish there was another book that included all of these characters. I am seriously considering writing a fan fiction in a time after they are all settled into their new rolls.

Six of Crows
Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

Six of Crows and it's sequel Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo are my favorite books of all time. I have recently bought the books and already read both twice. I would read it a third time but I should read other books instead.

 

 I love how the story is told from the perspective of all the main characters I just which we had Wylan's view for the first book. The backstories are so well thorough that the characters could leap into the real world and have a perfect alibi. The plot was so well thought up that I thought it might actually be used to break into a prison.

 

 

Spoiler

Most twists I could not see coming, but I did guess that Nina would take the parem. I love how Kaz has a huge fear of touch and has to wear gloves but he lets people speculate about claws or blood stains. And I never would have guessed that Jesper was grisha! He hid it so well, it was like he just forgot about it.
