Here there be ghosts - Moonlight Scandals ARC Review

*Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader's Copy from the author for review consideration. This does in no way affect my opinion, and all thoughts expressed in this review are unbiased and my own.*

Title: Moonlight Scandals
Series: de Vincent #3
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 hearts
Genre: Mystery, Romance
Pub. date: January 29th, 2019
Publisher: Avon
SynopsisIt takes a fearless woman to love the most scandalous man alive in New York Times Bestselling Author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s breathtaking novel 

Even a ghost hunter like Rosie Herpin couldn’t have foreseen the fateful meeting between two mourners that has brought her so intimately close to the notorious and seductive Devlin de Vincent. Everyone in New Orleans knows he’s heir to a dark family curse that both frightens and enthralls. To the locals, Devlin is the devil. To Rosie, he’s a man who’s stoking her wildest fantasies. When a brutal attack on her friend is linked to the de Vincents, he becomes a mystery she may be risking her life to solve. 

Devlin knows what he wants from this sexy and adventurous woman. But what does Rosie want from him? It’s a question that becomes more pressing—and more dangerous—when he suspects her of prying into the shadows of his past. 

Now, the legends surrounding the de Vincents may not be myths at all. But if she’s to discover the truth, she must follow them straight into the arms of the man she can’t resist—the handsome devil himself. (synopsis from Goodreads)

Shelf Sequels: The Wicked King by Holly Black

Shelf Sequels is a weekly NovelKnight feature highlighting backlist titles from authors with upcoming releases. Want to join in? Share your post and drop a link in the comments!

So, this week I picked a sequel that was just recently published, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I read The Cruel Prince last year when it was released, and I absolutely loved it. I've been really busy this month and haven't had a chance to read The Wicked King, but it's on the top of my TBR pile! 

P.S.: I haven't included the synopsis of the sequel to avoid spoilers, but I've linked it on Goodreads so you can check it out.

A heart-stopping, emotional adventure - Vortex Visions ARC Review

Title: Vortex Visions
Series: Vortex Chronicles #1
Author: Elise Kova
Source: Advance Reader's Copy
My rating: 5 hearts
Genre: Young Adult, High Fantasy
Pub. date: February 4, 2019
Publisher: Self-published
SynopsisA desperate princess, a magical traveler, and a watch that binds them together with the fate of a dying world.

Vi Solaris is the heir to an Empire she’s barely seen. Her parents sacrificed a life with her to quell a rebellion and secure peace with a political alliance. Now, three years past when her wardship should’ve ended, Vi will do anything to be reunited with her family.

The Empire is faltering beneath the burden of political infighting and a deadly plague. Yet, Vi can’t help but wonder if her inability to control her magic is the true reason her parents haven’t brought her home. Suspicion becomes reality when she unleashes powers she’s not supposed to have. 

Powers that might well cost her the throne.

As Vi fights to get her magic under control, a mysterious stranger appears from across the world. He holds the keys to unlocking her full potential, but the knowledge has an unspeakable price — some truths, once seen, cannot be ignored.

All eyes are on her and Vi must make the hardest choice of her life: Play by the rules and claim her throne. Or, break them and save the world. (synopsis from Goodreads)
