Going in I had no idea honestly what this book will be about, I found myself devouring it and feeling so much pain and so many feels. This book was raw; it was an emotional roller coaster ride. The author takes us on a journey as we discover the painful and so so sad ways of someone suffering from a serious mental illness and how that illness can affect everyone around them specially the ones they love.
Maggiewas a happy teenager living a normal life with her two best friends and her picture perfect parents. When she meets Clay she is fascinated with his beauty and his darkness only attracts her more to him. She is bound to get to know him no matter the consequences.
“I needed Clay as much as he needed me. We existed in this symbiotic relationship where our hearts beat and our lungs breathed only for each other.”
Clayhas darkness inside and is trying his best to avoid contact with anyone at his new school. He does his best to keep quiet and pretend everything is ok until Maggie. She didn't gave up on him from day one and he slowly found himself opening up to her. He had never felt so close to anyone before and that made Maggie special to him.
“You ran into my life, this beautiful, amazing girl who changed everything. I finally saw what my world could be. What being normal and happy could look like. You’ve given me everything I never thought I could have! It scares to me think of life without you. Of not seeing your smile or hearing your voice.”
Find You in the Dark is a very deep story about a seventeen year old suffering from mental illness. The author takes us on a dark journey where we see all the highs and lows, his manic episodes, his anger and how he desperately desired to feel wanted and be normal like everyone else. This book is dark, I don't recommend if you don't like topics like this. Mental illness is very common and even super hard to read; I feel so sad and my heart aches so damn much after reading this. I don't regret reading though in fact I can't believe it took me so long to finally read this beautiful and painful story.

“One of the plainest truths about both towns and individuals is that they usually don't turn into what we tell them to be, but what they are told they are.”
[image]
Before starting this book I honestly can say I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I just remembered seeing this book a lot and requested at my local library. When the book finally because available I decided to just dive in and see for myself why all the high reviews. Believe me when I say this book exceeded all my expectations. 'Beartown'is deep; it has some heavy topics from peer pressure, to rape, to sexuality preference, to personal integrity, this book has it all and it will make you feel and think a lot.
“The very worst events in life have that effect on a family: we always remember, more sharply than anything else, the last happy moments before everything fell apart.”
I had so many emotions while reading this book. At first I wasn't so sure with so many characters to follow. However; the narrator did an amazing job expressing all the emotions and I found myself feeling so much. I was angry, I was sad, I was excited and happy but most of all I felt pain so much pain for some characters. This book completely moved me and I truly enjoyed every second of it.
“Everyone has a thousand wishes before a tragedy, but just one afterward.”
I don't really know exactly how I found this new author but I had to find out what the fuzz was about. I honestly can't even begin to describe how amazing this book was. The story is told on a third person and there's so many characters you can't helped having so many feels for. This book is about a small town with a foundation based on the hockey 🏒 sport. One single night will change the entire town. Some families & friendships will be broken. There's some characters I can't even 😑 but most of them I loved haha. The book was real and raw and a roller-coaster full of emotions.
'Beartown' is a book that I highly recommend to everyone. This book has made it's mark on me, which are usually my favorite kinds of books; one that I will not be forgetting any time soon and will think about it for a very long time.
“Hate can be a deeply stimulating emotion. The world becomes easier to understand and much less terrifying if you divide everything and everyone into friends and enemies, we and they, good and evil.”

"When my whole world has been shaken to its core, somehow this man makes it a little bit steadier."

Camellia was a good girl in fact her life was perfect. Senior year was supposed to be her best year yet. She was the top swimmer of her school's swimming team. Cam had an amazing boyfriend of many years; she was practically the envy of every high school girls; everyone wanted to be her until tragic hit and she lost herself.
"The world has thrown me the worst curveball ever, annihilating the life I once knew and forcing me to go at it alone."
David was the new English teacher and swimming coach. He came to this new town to escape his past and live it as best as he can until he meets her. David knew he had to stay away from her specially with their 14 year age difference but from the very first time he sees her they connected and now that he watches her struggling after her life shattered he wanted to be there for her.
"You were always the one thing that felt like home to me, and even though I found a way to exist without you, a part of me has always been lost - until now."
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this book but one thing is for sure I did not excepted all the RAW EMOTIONS I developed while reading each page. With every paragraph, and with every single chapter I fell madly in love with this story. David became my hero and I freaking loved everything about him.
"I don't need a man who tucks my darkness into a distant corner. I need a man who will dance with it, nurture it, and tell me that in such a vigorous world, it's the most stunning thing he's ever seen."
Cam finds cutting herself a way to release some of her pain. No one is able to get through her and help; she distanced herself from everyone around her until David. He ended up being the only person who could possibly understand Cam since he himself was damaged with a broken heart of his own.
"In a world that we are both struggling to fit into, what if this is were we are supposed to be? Right here. Right in this very moment. Because this is the place where our broken pieces have settled, connecting perfectly without any gaps."
Secret Lucidity is a story of loss, grief and pain and a forbidden tragic love story. Is not just an ordinary teacher and student forbidden story to me though, no this story is so much more. The feels are ridiculous; the writing is phenomenal. I felt every single pain that Cam felt; I cried so much for everything she lost and for everything she went thought after her loss. You'd think losing someone after a bit it gets better but for Cam it only gets worse so much worse and I found myself swimming in my own tears for her. I emphasize with her life I felt David was perfect for her and exactly what she needed when she needed it the most.
Overall; this book was amazing. The epilogue was perfect and I loved every single word. This book was a roller-coaster ride full of emotions and once I started I was not able to put down. I can honestly say that I love this story so much so that I will never forget it; it has been added to my top reads of this year. This book would be appealing to readers who are open minded and are not afraid to read hard topics involving selfharm, death and forbidden romance.

“At the start of war, on June 22, 1941, the day Alexander met Tatiana, there were three million civilians in Leningrad. When the Germans blockaded the city on September 8, 1941, there were two and a half million civilians in Leningrad. In the spring of 1942 a million people remained.”
[image]
"She wasn't afraid of random war. It was like being struck by lightning, even if the lightning did strike a thousand times a day. No, it wasn't war that terrified Tatiana. It was the resolute chaos of her broken heart."
Tatiana barely at sixteen years old is living with her family in Russia during World War II. She had a twin brother and an older sister; they all shared a very small two bedroom home and there was no such thing as privacy. During this thought time Tatiana demonstrated so much strength considering her age.
Alexander is twenty two year old soldier who finds himself in the middle of this crazy war but no family or love ones and really nothing to fight for until he meets Tatiana. The way they met was EPIC. I had so many conflicted feeling after they met because of the love triangle and angst overload. I was mainly upset with Tatiana and then with Alexander and omg the feels were ridiculous.
The Bronze Horseman is a beautifully written historical romance where the readers will suffer great eternal bleeding and stabbing pain to their hearts. All the feels this book delivered was insane and I loved everything about it. So if you are not a fan of EPIC heavy stories best stay away from this baby.
This book absolutely shattered my heart into pieces, it stabbed me in the chest over and over and fucking over, I can't say I regret it because I'd be lying. This book was amazing, it was loaded with all the feels a person could possibly have. At first I was so happy, then sad, then angry, then super mad, then bawling my eyes off, more rage and devastation but in the midst of chaos the author managed to kept my heart on the goal which was on these two characters Tatiana & Alexander. Omg I absolutely love these two, the length and strength of their love was tested million of times during this cold War and they blew my mind away. I loved them so hard it hurts.
"They met, they fell in love, now they were getting married. As if it were always meant to be. As if betrayal, deceit, war, hunger, death - and not just death but the death of everyone else she had ever loved - had been their courtship."
Overall, this book, is everything!! I absolutely loved it. If you like a book loaded with feels this one is for you. You will be angry, sad, happy, basically is a complete emotional roller-coaster ride and I regret nothing. Loved every second of it. The withdrawals are ridiculous and I just can't stop thinking the story and the characters and the beautiful words, and my chest hurts like someone is stabbing me millions of times and is the best hahahah. I still want to continue the series but I need to prepare myself for the next one until then I'll enjoy this feeling best as I can.

“Two Queens will rise. One of blood. One of light.”
[image]
Rielle Dardenne the promised Sun Queen was held capture by her father for protection until she reveal herself and now he couldn't do anything to protect her. Her forbidden love for Audric was so emotional and amazing at the same time.
I'll be honest I hated Rielle's father in the beginning, I hurt so much for her but the more I read; the more I understood why he did what he did.
“This is what I was made for. The thought arose as naturally as breathing. She flexed her fingers, felt power gathering hot in her palms. No, not hot - vital. Her power was not an intangible thing, a trick of the mind. It was the power of the world itself, and all that lived inside it. And only I, she thought, can tell it what to do.”
[image]
Eliana Ferracora was a bounty hunter; surviving the best as she can. She was thought by her mother how to become the best assassin there could be. And the best she was; she had to do whatever it took to survive and to keep her family safe even if that meant losing her soul.
[image]
“And I have a warrior's strength, she thought, but the heart of a coward.”
[image]
“Grief crashed upon her in waves. Dry-eyed, she let them pull her under. Remy said quietly, “I don't hate you,” and allowed her to hold on to him. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on only him.”
I loved Eliana and her inner thoughts to do the right thing but at the same time turn around and don't look back at things she had no control over. Her brother Remy was so darn cute I loved him so hard. The love between these two was so beautiful she would do anything to keep him safe.
Told from dual point of views between Rielle and Eliana hundreds of years apart. One is the Sun Queen while the other is the Blood Queen but which is which is the question. Their stories are sad, intense and suspenseful, I absolutely was drowned to both of them; by both of their pain and struggles. I can clearly, honestly say I ugly cried on a scene from both of their worlds 🙄 #whatever lol which made this book so much memorable and precious to me.
“We survived the end of the world, you and I, we’ll survive this too.”

Furybornis a unique story; a world filled with magic and mystery and I loved everything about it. I honestly can't hardly wait for more. The ending wasn't so bad of a cliffhanger that I must say I'm okay waiting but not for too long because I loved all these characters specially Simon; Remy; Audric; Navi; and Ludivine...Ok I loved them all hahaand I need to know what's going to happen to everyone. The story and plot itself was intriguing; there was so much action that had me invested on every single page. Readers who enjoy young adult fantasy with a fast past story will find this story appealing.

Lazlo Strange
aka "Strange the dreamer" was an orphan raised with the monks since young but later found himself living amount librarians instead and discovered the love for books. His mind is simply beauty. He don't know anything else other than kindness and his personality is fascinating. You can't helped but to fall in love with him and his beautiful mind. His way of thinking was he wanted to be nice and do nice things not because one deserved it but "simply because they needed it."
“He read while he walked. He read while he ate. The other librarians suspected he somehow read while he slept, or perhaps didn’t sleep at all.”
Sarai is a blue-skinned goddess; who had the power to get into human's minds while they dreamed and turn their dreams into nightmares. So many years ruining human's nights became the normal to her but at only seventeen years old she found herself questioning the purpose of her existence.
“Bad would be good,” Minya had said, fervent. "We need bad, Sarai. For vengeance.” ... “Sarai had an arsenal of terrors. She was an arsenal of terrors.”
All this time she was told that hate and revenge is all they have to have and nothing else matters. However; she no longer wanted to believe that.
“It was no small thing to shed a lifetime of nonbeing and suddenly be seen.”... “Sarai was seventeen years old, a goddess and a girl. Half her blood was human, but it counted for nothing. She was blue. She was godspawn. She was anathema. She was young. She was lovely. She was afraid.”
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this book; what I found was a magical world of beautiful words, a story full of hopes, sorrow, madness and so many feels. This story "Strange the dreamer" is about a city that lost its name and was lost to the world. The Blue-skinned goddesses were all supposed to be dead. Ghosts were not supposed to be real. But it was all real the blue-skinned goddesses appear in the dreams of men and moths would infiltrate their unconsciousness. Ghosts were bound to a child's will to do as whatever she pleased and the things she made them do were not good; this child had so much hate inside.
“Nothingness. For despair there would have to be acceptance, and that was impossible. There was only nothing, so much nothing that he couldn't breathe.”

Thyon Nero; well I have conflicting feelings for this boy. There's just something about a broken character that attracts me to them and he is one broken boy but he don't want people to know so he was mean and selfish to not show any weakness to the world. He didn't have an actual friendship relationship with Lazlo but I know from the beginning that both of these boys were important to this story and I was not wrong. I truly felt bad for Thyon on several occasions and that's why somehow I have high hopes that he will not disappoint on the next book.
We also meet Ruby, Sparrow, Feral and the most wicked blue-skinned goddess Minya. I still don't know how I feel about them right now, the end of the book left me drained and upset I was so angry and sad and I cried for so long I can't remember how long haha. I feel like I need the next book like yesterday, I don't even know what to do with myself right now lol. Overall; I loved this story from beginning to end. I highly recommend to any fantasy young adult readers who love an extraordinary story about magic, and gods.

Is so funny the book before this one also had twin sisters and also dealt with family issues and depression. I really believe is something very common that people don't realize is happening right now.
Overall, I recommend this book to readers who enjoy a fiction book about family and young teenager struggles and how everyone sees things in different perspectives.

"I woke that morning in Ryan’s arms, I felt a little less crazy. I felt a little bit better. And I felt a little more whole."
Mackenzie aka Mac has just woken up to her worse nightmare. Life has never been amazing for this seventeen year old teenager. She always felt like an outcast with her eleven year old brother Robbie; who was a natural genius and her identical twin sister; Willow who always excels at everything. Moving to a new city was already a hard change but she never expected to find her sister's dead body and now having to deal with new drama at her new school.
"My face. My body. My heart-it all went with her, because she was me. My twin sister killed herself on June twenty-ninth. We would've been eighteen the next day."
Ryan Jensen; was the most popular senior in high school. He was the basketball star and every girl was madly in love with him. Ryan was down to earth and I absolutely loved him. He really didn't care about popularity at all he just wanted to do what he enjoyed. Ryan never expected to find Mac in his bedroom though; it caught him by surprise but he wanted to make her welcome to the new town and he understood the grieving she was going through with the loss of her sister.
"I thought no one would understand what it felt like to hurt so badly that you just wanted to go with that person."…"Until you."
I actually was so excited when I found out Tijan was writing this story; I am a sucker for deep feels books and especially if they will make me ugly cry (I know whatever lol). I love pain and I felt this book was incredible; it delivered all the feels and emotions I crave for in a book. Because I am pain shhlut I re read the sad parts like three times haha.
"I couldn't bear to see myself, so how could I make you look at me?" I whispered. I missed her. I wanted her. I didn't want my dad's arms around me. I wanted hers around me. "I don't want her to be a ghost, Dad."
This book gutted me, I think I cried for hours because all the feels and all the emotions. I absolutely loved everything about it. This book deals with depression, teen suicide and high school drama. It may be a hard topic for readers but I honestly think is important to understand the pressure teenagers really go through each day and is so sad that people ignore it until is too late. I felt so much for all the characters in this story. Mac is going through her grieving and she sees her twin sister everywhere until the point that she feels she is going crazy. She doesn't want to speak up because she doesn't want to be judge or be told she is crazier than how she already feels. The parents not only lost one of their daughters but their entire world fell apart they didn't know how to come back from it. I imagine how hard Mac's life was after discovering her sister's dead body looking in the mirror and seeing herself and just seeing her sister and remembering her just by looking in the mirror; I am sure the parents struggled with that as well.
"We all tried to cope in our own way, whether wrong or right, healthy or unhealthy."
Overall; this story will be one I would never forget because I loved it so much; Mac and Ryan were such a great characters and seeing all their struggles and accomplishments made this story unique and emotional for me. Ryan connected with Mac so quickly because he went to a similar situation couple of years before and felt lost as well. We see a lot of high school drama with Ryan being popular and Mac the new girl in school who captures Ryan's attention is bound to be drama and I freaking loved it.
Ryan's Bed is an excellent book about loss, grief, pain, depression, family, friendships, healing and love. This book would be appealing to readers who are open minded and are not afraid to venture into sad topics.
