Magic Gambit (Hidden World Academy Book 3) by Sadie Moss

This is the third and final book in the Hidden World series.

Okay, so things have gotten a little bit crazy around here.

The good news is, we know what we’re up against now.

The bad news? I don’t know if we stand a chance.

I have absolutely loved reading this series. The characters are brilliant, the storyline is great and the plot developed well.

Gabbi has been brilliant from the start. She has grown in to this strong person who’s adapted to this strange life she never know existed. I’ve loved reading her journey.

The boys have been brilliant too. Each of them has their own unique features, yet they have worked so well with Gabbi. Their connection was great to read.

The storyline was brilliant. It was a good end to the series, and I loved how it concluded for everyone.

I loved how Roxie ended up in this book. I felt like we really got to know her just through what Gabbi experienced, but having her turn up more in this book was great to read. They may look alike, but their personalities are so different.

The ending was very satisfying for everyone. I’m sad that the series has ended, but at least it’s ended in the best possible way.

Overall, I have absolutely loved reading this series. The storyline has been great and the characters are brilliant. I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*

Demon of Mine (The Devil Heart Boys Book 1) by Caroline Peckham

This is there first book in the series although it can be read as a standalone as well.

Jack Mandeville just became my worst enemy and cruellest nightmare.
He hates the world.
Hates blondes.
But most of all, he hates me.

The worst thing about all of that? I have to live with him.

When my life falls apart and I’m taken in by the father of the devil himself in one of the most prestigious parts of London, I quickly discover there’s something seriously strange about Mandeville Place. Something supernatural.

My dreams are disturbed by dark spirits. And it sounds totally mad, but I’m certain something in this house is pushing me toward the boy who’s sworn to make my life a living hell if I don’t keep away from him.

Avoiding him at school is not easy. Him and his intimidating friends run this place, including every student and teacher in it. They’ve already turned the whole school against me and I know if I step a toe out of line things are going to get much worse.

I have to figure out what the ghostly presence in the house is trying to tell me. But that means discovering how far Jack will go to keep me away.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good mix of paranormal, mystery and romance. The story was great, the plot developed well and the characters were great.

Elle was a good character. She went through so much, yet managed to stay strong and came out of it better. She learnt things about herself which she didn’t even know.

Jack was also a great character. We saw him go in a full circle. The tough jerk who evidently has a soft side.

The romance between them was great to see develop. From hate to love.

I also enjoyed the paranormal mystery involved. Crime, demons and ghosts. This book had it all.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book.

My rating: 5/5*

Zodiac Academy 2: Ruthless Fae by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

This is the second book in the Bullies and Beasts series.

They tried to break us.
They almost did.
But we’re not going anywhere.

The Celestial Heirs think the stars are on their side. But they don’t know what’s coming. We have to be smart. Fighting them one on one isn’t an option so we have to be stealthy. Remaining under the radar won’t be easy, but if we pull it off, they’ll never suspect our involvement when their lives start falling apart.

Besides, they’ve already taken us to the brink of hell, what more can they really do?

This book was absolutely fantastic. The storyline picked up where it left off and continued to developed well and at a good pace. The characters are brilliant.

Tory and Darcy are the best. They have had such a hard time and especially at the end of the last book, but they came back fighting. I loved watching them get their own back.

The 4 heirs are still arseholes. I must say though that Darius and Caleb have had moments in this book which almost made me like them. Almost.

I think Tory’s relationships with them both have been interesting to read and see develop. I think she done right by picking Caleb over Darius though, and I think even then, she doesn’t doesn’t particularly like him and is just having a bit of fun.

Lance Orion and Darcy are the best thing to see in this book. Their forbidden relationship is the best. I just found myself willing Lance and Darcy and give in to their emotions. I love the way he kept being harsh to Seth over her blue hair. He totally deserves it and worse. I’m totally rooting for them both and I really hope we continue to see them both give in to their feelings and let their relationship progress.

I love the world building in this book. There is every beast and creature you could imagine in it and the descriptions really make them come to life. It’s brilliant.

The end was fast paced and exciting, an then it ended on a cliffhanger. I’m buzzing to know what happens next.

Overall, this series is fantastic and I think anyone who hasn’t read it is missng out on a little gem here. It’s exciting and fast paced, the characters are brilliant and the storyline is amazing.

I would definitely recommend it.
