OK, so I got 43 posts in 7 days, and it was a pretty decent week, I'm happy with what I read, and I'm looking forward to this week, since I have a week and a day of vacation, so I'm going to be reading and catching up with writing my reviews. What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read The Dark Mirror! 

Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade – but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.

As she makes her way back to the revolution, her journey takes her to Venice, where she learns a dangerous secret – one that could change the face of the war between humans and immortals. Before she can return to London, she must help the Domino Programme unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist.

And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories – Arcturus Mesarthim – might also hold the key to saving Italy.

Lyrical and action-packed, The Dark Mirror drives the Bone Season series forward, showing Samantha Shannon at the height of her powers.

Week 8 Review: Breathless

From Goodreads:

A high-stakes thriller set in the world of extreme-altitude mountaineering that takes a dark turn when a series of deaths can no longer be written off as accidents.

When journalist and novice climber Cecily Wong is asked to summit Mount Manaslu, the eighth-highest peak in the world, it's a career-making opportunity. She's been personally invited by Charles McVeigh, one of the most acclaimed mountaineers in the world, who wants her to report on the final leg of his record-breaking series of summits. But there's one caveat: he won't give her the interview until she's scaled the mountain as part of his climbing party. Cecily is by far the least experienced of the group, but she is intent on proving herself and will stop at nothing to reach the summit. So when disturbing questions arise, she becomes concerned. And then people start to die. Trapped on the mountain with a team she barely knows, she must battle more than the elements in an epic fight for survival against one of the world's most dangerous mountains and an unknown assailant who is picking climbers off one by one.

Book Battle September 2022 TBR

We Have the Cover of Moon Fall #2!!!!

OK, so I got 57 posts in 7 days, and it was a pretty great week, I read so much, and some really amazing books! I'm hoping for a quieter month in September, honestly, I need to slow down a bit! There's so much to read, I can't read it all, and I need to stop trying to take it on! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Desperation in Death and Devouring Darkness.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a gripping new thriller that pits homicide detective Eve Dallas against a conspiracy of exploitation and evil…

New York, 2061: The place called the Pleasure Academy is a living nightmare where abducted girls are trapped, trained for a life of abject service while their souls are slowly but surely destroyed. Dorian, a thirteen-year-old runaway who’d been imprisoned there, might never have made it out if not for her fellow inmate Mina, who’d hatched the escape plan. Mina was the more daring of the two—but they’d been equally desperate.

Unfortunately, they didn’t get away fast enough. Now Dorian is injured, terrified, and wandering the streets of New York, and Mina lies dead near the waterfront while Lt. Eve Dallas looks over the scene.

Mina’s expensive, elegant clothes and beauty products convince Dallas that she was being groomed, literally and figuratively, for sex trafficking—and that whoever is investing in this high-overhead operation expects windfall profits. Her billionaire husband, Roarke, may be able to help, considering his ties to the city’s ultra-rich. But Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas, as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. No matter what, she must keep her head clear--because above all, she is desperate for justice and to take down those who prey on and torment the innocent. 

In the newest installment of the Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan unearths an ancient grudge, with potentially devastating consequences.

As the only vampire ever born, and the daughter of two very powerful Chicago vampires, Elisa Sullivan knew her life was going to be...unusual. But she wanted to make her own way in the world, preferably away from her famous family. Then supernatural politics--and perhaps a bit of destiny--intervened, and Elisa had to steady her nerves and sharpen her steel to fight for the city of Chicago. Luckily, Connor Keene, son of the North American Central Pack's Apex wolf, is right by her side.

When Elisa and her Ombudsman colleagues agree to escort a troubled sorcereress to Chicago, they inadvertently set in motion a scheme of long-awaited magical vengeance. The city may pay an arcane price it can't afford unless Elisa and her allies rise to the challenge.

Week 35 Review: The Oathbreaker's Shadow

From Goodreads:

In the land of Darhan, promises are bound by magic, tied into knots, and worn with pride. Those who break them are physically scarred, cast out into the desert, and stalked by vengeful shadows of their treachery. Fifteen-year-old Raim, the best young fighter ever to train for the elite Yun guard, has worn a simple knot around his wrist for as long as he can remember. He doesn't know where it came from and barely thinks about it at all. But on the most important day of his life, when Raim agrees to give his life as a warrior to the future king, that knot bursts into flames and sears a dark mark into his skin. Now scarred as an oathbreaker, Raim has two options: run or die.

My Review:
I was really excited to read this book! The idea of promises bound by magic, into knots, is a pretty interesting idea. And that the people who break those promises, become oathbreakers, well, they'd be outcasts. So I had to read Raim, who didn't know his promise, and then broke it. I just knew I was going to rage at the unfairness of it all!

This world where magic is it seems mostly gone, except the power in the promises, was really interesting to learn about. The way that society has been built around it-and how people who break their promises are outcast, was an interesting concept! 

Raim was such a great character, and it really sucked that he was put into this position. That he only had one promise knot, but had no idea what it was, it's really unfair that he broke it, when he didn't even know that he was. He was strong and he was loyal, and I was rooting for him to survive! 

Watching as he did his best to survive, while wondering what his promise was, was really great. As things got more complicated, I loved watching as his goals changed, as he realized some things about this world and as events shaped up to be dealt with in the next book! 

This was a fantastic read, and I can't wait to read the sequel!
