Rich People Problems (Crazy Rich Asians #3) by Kevin Kwan

Rich People Problems (Crazy Rich Asians, #3)Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the final book in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy; you learn so much more about Nicky's grandmother growing up, the history of Tyersall Park, and more about the family members. I listened to this book as well and enjoyed Lydia Look's narration. I really did not like Kitty, Colette, Eddie and of course all of Eleanor Young's friends and in laws pressuring Nick and Rachel to have children. I am still in love with Nick & Rachel, loved Rachel's college friend, Alistair was given more time, and some of the new characters were just so much fun. I will be sorry to see this series end, but I won't miss the meanness of many, the judgements of many, but I liked how the book ended.

Resistance vy Jennifer A. Nielsen

ResistanceResistance by Jennifer A. Nielsen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great YA historical fiction book; the plot and characters made compelling reading---how the Jews suffered in the concentration camps; but these brave resistance teens fight to save Jews by being couriers. The networking of the resistance groups was not one I was familiar with having read many Holocaust novels and nonfiction titles. This is a must read for teens studying the Holocaust in history; these brave teens and their stories were researched and show the heroism of these teens in the "face of almost certain defeat". Highly recommended.

Fall With Me (Wait for You #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Fall with Me (Wait for You, #4)Fall with Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Jennifer L. Armentrout romances and especially enjoy this Wait For You series. Reece is a 25 year old policeman in the town where he grew up and 22 year old Roxy has been his friend since childhood and in love with him since she was 15. I loved the different problems and tension in this swoon worthy romance and romance readers will love the drama as Roxy and Reece find their way toward each other!

Renegades by Marissa Meyer

Renegades (Renegades, #1)Renegades by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I felt there was too much description and not enough action ( & I so loved the Lunar Chronicles) too little known about many characters and too much introspection from Nova and not enough thoughts, words, deeds from Adrian (Ruby, Oscar) and the other Renegades. With that ending though I am definitely going to read the 2nd one.

Vengeful (Villains #2) by V. E. Schwab

Vengeful (Villains, #2)Vengeful by V.E. Schwab
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG I listened to this 2nd book in the Villains series by V.E. Schwab and Jeremy Arthur's narration was superb! The voices he used for Victor & Eli were monotone, gravelly, but oh so powerful and Sydney's voice was so innocent. This book was so much more dark, I hade to put it down with Dr Haverty & his "research" on Eli----torture was more like it and it was definitely too much. I could not stop listening to this book as it leaped and bounded in time and characters - Eli was back, Sydney, Mitch, and Victor kept bouncing around from place to place as Victor becomes sicker and can't find a cure (all the while not telling Sydney) and June (new character we don't know her back story) is fixated on Sydney and leaning on her loneliness, June begins texting Syd keeping in touch over the years. I loved Dominic as he worked at EON and kept in touch with Victor. I so did not like Marcella but she was definitely vengeful and I was not happy with EON director, Stell - but there stories were integral and I just can't wait until the next book in the series!!!

The Prince (A Wicked Trilogy, #3.5; 1001 Dark Nights, #85)The Prince by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved prickly, tough Brighton who has mastered fighting the fae after her mother was murdered and she was tortured (Brighton keeps thinking if 0nly she had fought back then, could she have saved her mother) and now is part of The Order, a human who keeps an eye on the summer and winter fae. But behind all of this, Brighton is getting rid of all who attacked her and her mother, one by one. But when the Prince seems to be everywhere she is and trying to keep her from her task, things get really tense. What will happen as she and the Prince begin to work together to uncover the disappearance of foundlings? I can't wait for The King! I just wish I did not have to wait so long, a great series!
