Will the Time Come #611, February 16th

Every Thursday I am going to list a book which I really want to read/keep meaning to get to. These are mostly books which have been on my shelf for awhile now but don't have to be, maybe you got it two weeks ago and really want to read it! Thanks to Jodie from Books for Company for this meme!

More secrets. More power. More trouble.

The secrets swirling around Carrefour are deepening, and the lies are more tangled than ever as Eveny discovers the truth about her past.

It’s only been a couple of months since Eveny Cheval discovered that she’s a powerful queen of zandara, the voodoo-like form of magic that has controlled the town of Carrefour for generations. But she barely has time to consider what this means before she’s attacked by the murderous anti-magic organization Main de Lumière once again.

Alarmed, her powerful father takes her – and her sister zandara queens, Peregrine and Chloe – to his home on mysterious Caouanne Island. But the island holds its own secrets about Eveny’s past – and her future. Now, she’s torn between two magical traditions – and two guys: mysterious Caleb, who’s pushing her away, and charismatic Bram, who seems too good to be true.

With Main de Lumière closing in and Carrefour’s defenses crumbling, Eveny, her sister queens, and the townspeople she’s supposed to protect are in danger. And as the revelations about her past continue pouring in, Eveny begins to realize that she might just be the only one who can save them all. Now, she has to fight for the people and the town she loves – and for her own life.

Welcome to Carrefour, where long-buried secrets simmer like heat over the bayou and whatever you desire most can be yours—for a price.

Why the time hasn't come yet...
I don't know. I loved the first book, I'm pretty sure I own this, and this is the end of the series. But it has been so long since I read the first book. But I want to read it! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Week 33 Review: The Dolls

From Goodreads:
Eveny Cheval just moved back to Louisiana after spending her childhood in New York with her aunt Bea. Eveny hasn't seen her hometown since her mother's suicide fourteen years ago, and her memories couldn't have prepared her for what she encounters. Because pristine, perfectly manicured Carrefour has a dark side full of intrigue, betrayal, and lies—and Eveny quickly finds herself at the center of it all.

Enter Peregrine Marceau, Chloe St. Pierre, and their group of rich, sexy friends known as the Dolls. From sipping champagne at lunch to hooking up with the hottest boys, Peregrine and Chloe have everything—including an explanation for what's going on in Carrefour. And Eveny doesn't trust them one bit.

But after murder strikes and Eveny discovers that everything she believes about herself, her family, and her life is a lie, she must turn to the Dolls for answers. Something's wrong in paradise, and it's up to Eveny, Chloe, and Peregrine to save Carrefour and make it right.

My Review:
Ooh, I enjoyed this book a lot! And I'm lucky in reading it when I did, because the next book's coming out just next month! So yeah, that was a stroke of luck for me, because then I don't have to wait long for more!

I really enjoyed the world in this book, of the magic that they had, and how everything worked, and I'm excited, too, because we only saw a part of it, there's her dad's magic, and I can't wait for that! I know it's going to be great!

This, for me, was a bit of a book about power, who has it, and who doesn't, and how those with it, treat those who don't have it. And in this case, those with power are pretty much a-holes, since they took vitality from the poorer side of town, to finance their rich lives. Which is pretty horrible.

It sucked who the bad guy was, because he was supposed to be a friend, but the whole time, he was just preparing to kill her. And that's pretty horrible. And the whole situation messed up her friendship with his girlfriend.

I can't wait to read more of this series, learn more about her dad, and the relationship that she has with Caleb!
