Elegy-Amanda Hocking
Elegy is the fourth and final book in The Water Song Series, I personally loved this series. I loved how it involved Greek mythology which I'm obsessed with. I really had a bond with the characters in the series, well almost all the characters I honestly hated Penn, Lexi and Thea. The series is a unique one, I loved the first two books in the series so much I honestly became addicted, but with Tidal and Elegy I grew a tad disappointed, I'm still very happy with how the series ended, I did really enjoy how they solved everything.
Gemma is a siren, and her time on earth is running out. Unless she finds a way to break the siren curse. Daniel is doing dangerous things to protect the people he loves. Harpers away at school but needs to help her sister, and Alex is feeling things his head knows is wrong to feel but his heart tells him a different story.
Thank Zeus for Penn finally being gone, I'm even happy Liv and Thea are gone. I know Thea was the good one but she was just as bad as Penn. I love the Greek mythology that is incorporated into the story, I loved the romance it wasn't hot and steamy it was sweet and caring. This book was not my favorite in the series but I loved how they got the happy ending they deserved and how justice was served, it is hard to believe that this whole series took place in like one summer but I loved it anyways I would give this book a 4 out of 5.

Shatter Me - Taherheh Mafi
Shatter Me-Tahereh Mafi
I saw people on booktube talking about this book and I didn't really see what the big deal was, until I saw it in my local library and decided to take a chance on it. Let's just say I'm not disappointed. One thing I found super captivating in this book was how beautifully written it was, even if you don't like the idea of the book I would recommend you read this book just for the writing.
This book is about a girl named Juliette who is lethal, her touch will kill you and once you touch her you can't let go. At the beginning of the book she has been locked up for 264 days she hasn't seen another human in 264 days, hasn't spoken to anyone in 264 days. Her parents saw her as a devil and so did everyone else. The reestablishment locked her up for 'others safety' but they have plans for her, they plan to use her as a weapon. After a life without freedom she's ready to fight back, and she's discovering a future with a boy she thought she had lost forever.
OMG at first when I read about Adam is was like 'this is great, is she going to get knocked up or something' but then when I read about why Adam was really there I was like 'you little bastard' but then you find out Adam volunteered to do it and I was like 'Yes she deserves a little happiness'. Kenji made me laugh a lot when he was commenting about how her voice was naughty and whatnot, and then Adam being so protective was like the sweetest thing ever. But god Warner just cannot take no for an answer, like dude she doesn't want you so piss off. I really enjoyed this book and found it really interesting and different from anything I've read before which is why I gave it 4.5 stars out of 5. As soon as my library opens back up, I am getting Unravel Me and no one can stop me.

Wait For You-J.lynn
Wait For You-J.lynn
Wow this book was so different, it wasn't just focused on one main idea, it was focused on like 5 or 6 the whole time. I loved how you tried to piece together her past, you eventually find out but not until the end. I seriously loved this book so much.
Avery traveled 1000 miles to college to try and escape what happened to her 5 years ago at a Halloween party. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself. Cameron Hamilton is 6 feet tall and has amazingly blue eyes, she knows she needs to stay away from him but he's everywhere with his witty remarks and his charm.But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?
This book I really enjoyed Cam was so sweet to her. I know people will say she was a bitch to him but you have to think about what happened in her past, that's a lot to deal with especially with horrible parents. I loved how I got to know both Cam and Avery really well, I thought what Cam did for his sister was so sweet also a tad bit scary but he would do anything for her. This book deals with very real life possibilities, and I found that really interesting to see how they dealed with it. Jennifer has did it again written an amazing book that I had to read in one sitting. I loved the romance in this book but also the realistic circumstances. I give this book 4 stars out of 5.

The Edge Of Never-J.A Redmerski
Wow I loved this book and I loved the characters. It is such a breathtaking page turning book and I think I'm in love with Andrew Parrish. This book follows 2 young people with deep dark secrets. Camryn is done with love and relationships the two she's had have hurt her immensely, her boyfriend of 2 years Ian was killed in a car accident and the very next guy she was with cheated on her, after a night at a club called Underground Camryn decides to leave her town and travel anywhere she boards a bus to Idaho and meets Andrew the guy with tattoos and who plays his music much to loud, and the guy who shows her how amazing it is to feel alive.
Andrew's dad is dying in a hospital and that's where he's headed to say his final goodbyes he started in Texas and he's on his way to Wyoming he boards a bus and there he meets Camryn the girl who's not afraid to put him in his place. The girl who shows him how to be alive.
I loved this book because it wasn't like most young adult books where the moment the guy and girl see each other their in love; that's a heart warming story but it isn't the truth. I liked how in this book their relationship evolves at a normal pace. I also love how you got both perspectives I always love books where you get the guy and girls perspective. At first I thought it was going to be some average cheesy road trip story but it's not you really hit some deep feelings and stuff. But OMG some of the scenes were like hard core, the truck driver scene for example....... I cried at the end I was like

It was sad and heart breaking but it ended on a good note, and the whole end I was hoping Camryn got the ending she deserved it was like she was a real person and I was praying for Andrew. I thought it was so freaking cute when Camryn said she wanted to get the other half of the tattoo, now that is love. Overall I give this book of 4.5 out of 5.

Frigid- J.Lynn
Frigid- J.lynn
Sydney has been in love with Kyler he best friend for a long long time, they have been best friends since Kyler pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somehow throughout their friendship she fell for him hard the only problem is Kyler puts the man in man whore. Sydney doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.
Kyler has always put Sydney on a pedestal that is too high for him to reach, it's to high for any guy to reach. Sydney is perfect and he has feelings for her always sleeping with different girls to try to control his feelings. Sydney's the one girl he cannot have.
They both get stranded at a ski resort during a snowstorm alone, they are both forced to confess their feelings. The only question is can their friendship survive the attraction or better yet can they survive the snow is falling and someone is stalking them.
At first I was like "No way did Jennifer l armentrout just write a typical new adult book" because she's always so unique and out their when it comes to stories. But I felt like she did an excellent job of turning a new adult novel into a little bit of a mystery with the person stalking them. I actually quite enjoyed this book, but I did except more from Jennifer. Sydney was a bit annoying always questioning if what Kyler said was true even though he has never lied to her before. I really loved how the book was written switching back and forth between Sydney's point of view and Kyler's point of view, I always find it so interesting when you see the guy's point of view too. I would give this book a 4 out of 5. It's a good easy read about friends who have feelings for each other.

Jordyn's Favorite Series
This isn't going in any order I love all these series equally!
- The Lux Series- Jennifer L Armentrout. I have a whole separate review on this series and companion/ novella, that I did in February. I love this series so much it mixs romance and sci-fi which I found really interesting and Daemon Black was on my Top Fictional Boyfriend list I did. If you haven't read this series I would highly highly recommend you do.
- The Mortal Instruments Series- Cassandra Clare. I really love this series its so interesting and is so unique. The series has 6 books the 6th is coming out this year, I haven't read Clock Work Prince or Princess yet but I definitely do want to. The series is basically about angels, demons and people who have angel blood in them who are called shadowhunters there also is an amazing romance.
- The Summer I Turned Pretty Series- Jenny Han. I have always loved books about summer, who doesn't? But this series brought the bar up like a million notches. Lets just say I LOVE CONRAD and would marry him.
- The Selection- Kiera Cass. This series is like Cinderella meets Hunger Games, it's so interesting, and the world it's set in is so unique and different. The third book in this series is being released May 6th and I seriously might die waiting for it. I'm team Maxon in case anyone cares.
- Divergent Series-Veronica Roth. How could I not write this one down it is captivating, I personally hated how the last book ended but I accept that not everyone gets a happy ending, I can some this book up in one word FOUR.
