I truly enjoyed this novel! Victoria Aveyard's "Red Queen" plunges readers into such an incredable dystopian world where the divide between the elite Silvers and the oppressed Reds. From the very first page, I was captivated by the power struggles and the lies that control every aspect of this horrifying society.

One of my favorites parts of "Red Queen" is the love triangle that develops between the main characters. Mare finds herself stuck between her feelings for two brothers, one he is engaged to, and the other who she is drawn to.

What truly sets "Red Queen" apart is Aveyard's ability to keep readers guessing until the very end (though I will say... I saw it coming!) The twists and turns of the plot kept me on the edge of my seat.

Overall, "Red Queen" is a wonderful dystopian novel that will appeal to YA, dystopian and romance fans. With a spicy rating of ONE, this is a great book for teens and adults alike!

The World Remains by Brindi Quinn

It's fricking awesome!!

I read The World Remains last year and for me it was one of the best dystopian novels I've read. I honestly don't go for dystopian because, well honestly I'm looking at you Hunger Games!!

Anywho this is not like that at all and it's bloody marvelous.

💙Review💙

Ashlin lives in a small commune Scandria, where everyone has blue eyes and blonde hair, they're the last ninety people of their dying race. Ashlin suffers from secret fits, but that's not the only secret in this commune.

Olté is an outcast for not fitting the mould of the commune, when Olté goes missing then returns, things take a wild turnabout.

The World Remains is a fantastic premise of a Dystopian World, it is brilliantly written and I spent my day engrossed in reading, the need to find out what was to happen next was overwhelming.

The Histo was fascinating and it's spy like nature was eye opening to say the least.

The characters were all interesting and I didn't know which one to trust, they all had their reasons but all were morally grey.

Kimano, Ashlin's paired partner kept me on my toes, was he insane or sane and just playing at insanity? He was excellently written and I questioned him everytime, though his actions at the end was somewhat surprising.

Croix, I actually liked him even if he did come across as creepy every now and then. He surprised me too - that's the thing with this novel. The surprises just kept coming, when you thought you figured it out, bam! Another surprise and twist.

Sariah was a great double agent, spy to her own organisation, she was capable of deceit so easily and I did wonder who was playing who several times.

The adventure, romance and revelations made The World Remains a page turner. I absolutely loved everything about this story.
