Forgotten by Cat Patrick


London Lane forgets her past but remembers her future. Every morning when London wakes up she doesn’t know anything about the day before, no one knows why. She gets through it by reading the notes she leaves herself each night. This system works until she meets someone who knows her from the past and knows her secret. This book is mysterious and I love this author's writing. There's secrets, puzzles, and even romance! Not for the action lovers but definitely for the people that sort of like romance but not full Nicolas Sparks style.

Until I Die by Amy Plum

Kate and Vincent can finally be together, with no threats, like they've wanted all along. But they soon realize that there is one thing that they can’t get around, and that's Vincent's fate. Kate can’t handle death all of the time after her own parents death, but that’s Vincent’s lifestyle, he is drawn to dying for other people. Another part of who Vincent is is that he's immortal, there's not much they can do to get around that; someday Kate will die and Vincent will still roam the earth for years later. Vincent promises Kate that he will try his best to live a normal life but then a new enemy arises. This is a classic "second book" but still just as captivating and thrilling as the first. This book does bring you deeper into the history and lore of the revenants.

The Crown by Kiera Cass

Eadlyn continues her selection even though she has to pick up more duties ever since her mother got sick. It’s a hard job balancing both the kingdom and the selection but Eadlyn is tough and can handle a lot. Suddenly someone new comes in her life and tries to get her to marry him. When she finds out his actions aren’t exactly in her best interest she is forced into rushing her decision of who will have her hand. I loved this whole series, when I finished The One and found out that she continued the series I didn't think twice about continuing reading it. Oh man am I so glad that I did! Eadlyn by far makes this whole series, she's spunky like her mother was, but still authoritative like her father. Everything gets put on her shoulders but she holds it up with pride. I hate the amount of people that have rated this book poorly, it's ridiculous, don't even bother reading them; the reviewers on goodreads that didn't like this book or series in general have very nit-picky reasons that should just be ignored. Life is too short to criticize EVERY LITTLE THING that the author does that you don't like. This book is the perfect ending to the whole series and in my opinion is worth the read.

Minders by Michele Jaffe

Sadie enters a program where her mind/conciseness is put into someone else’s brain to study the differences between a criminal mind and a non-criminal mind. She is supposed to study, and report back, and most of all she is not allowed to let the "host" she's in know she's there. Sadie has a hard time feeling unattached to the mind she’s in and her task becomes even harder when she starts to fall in love with him. This book is breathtaking and shocking. It is definitely a book I would suggest to sci-fi, futuristic and action lovers. The relationship you build with Sadie and her host throughout this book is unforgettable. The author went so in depth with detail and clearly thought it out well. Her goal and set up was well executed with feelings and actions drawn out on the page. Everyone, seriously, add this to your MUST read list!

City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Now that the Mortal War is over and Clary is back in New York, she is training to be a Shadowhunter and how to use her unique powers. There is now peace between Downworlders and Shadowhunters and Clary’s mother is finally going to marry Luke! Even Clary and Jace can finally start calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend! Everything is going well until someone starts mysteriously killing Shadowhunters and Jace starts pulling away from Clary. By now some people are a little tired of this story, it seems to be same old same old and I was like that too but I couldn't leave the characters just yet. If you like the characters in this series then why not just say what the heck and read this!

Die for Me by Amy Plum

When Kate’s parents die in an accident Kate and her sister Georgia move to Paris to live with their grandparents. Kate isn’t the type to branch out, and after moving to Paris she mostly spends her time reading at a cafe or admiring work at the museums. Then she meets a mysterious guy named Vincent and she soon learns he’s not who she thinks he is. This book is full of romance and adventure. I love how awkward it is when Vincent and Kate first meet. This book is kind of formally written but I don't think it makes the book even less powerful. I recommend this to anyone who like a good immortal romance.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

This story begins with a beautiful, rich family, with their own island. Cadence loves going to her family’s island in the summer. Her and her 3 other cousins call themselves the liars and the island is the only place they get to hang out together. She goes to the island every year but then some accident happened that she doesn’t remember and she’s not allowed to go back. This books is captivating and mysterious. It's very powerful and well crafted. My favorite thing about it is the back, it says that if someone asks you how it ends lie, and that's exactly what you should do!

Dark Souls by Paula Morris

After someone close to Miranda dies in a car accident, she realizes she can see ghosts. Both Miranda and her brother have taken the car accident badly so Miranda's parents decide to take a trip to York, England and when she gets there she realizes that it’s filled with ghosts. Miranda didn't have much plans of doing anything while in York but then she meets someone mysterious that seems to know about the ghosts too. She is naturally curious about being able to see the ghosts so she tries to learn more but it leads her down a dangerous path. I recommend this to people who like ghosty and mysterious stories. It definitely doesn't scare your pants off but I was a little spooked reading it in a dimly lit room with no one else in the house.

City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

Clary has to go to the Glass City to save her mother but it becomes a lot more complicated when she finds out that Jace doesn’t want her to go to the city. He doesn't even want her near it. It is also illegal to enter the city without permission which she doesn't have. When she illegally enters the city she finds an ally named Sebastian who starts to help her learn more about her family and how to stop Valentine. Clary fights to save her mother and the rest of the world to find Valentine and it is definitely not easy. This series does feel like it keeps going, and going, repeating what feels kind of like the same story over again. I love the story and series as well as Cassandra Clare but I can see how some people would think it goes a little far.

Endure by Carrie Jones

The battle of the pixies continues and is getting worse. Although Zara did rescue Nick nothing has changed. Nick is mad at Zara and she doesn't think she will ever earn back his trust. She has a lot of responsibilities now that she's not only a pixie but a pixie queen! Nick's recent feelings toward Zara has pushed her away and closer to Astly, she might even start having feelings for him. This book is definitely for Zara and Astly fans, they become closer and closer throughout this whole book. Most of the crappy reviews about it are just from haters of the series as a whole. I love this series and love this book! If you loved the rest of the series you'll totally love this book too.

Cut by Patricia McCormick

Callie cuts herself, never too deep just enough to feel the pain. She gets put into Saint Pines, a treatment facility, when her parents decide they don't know how to help her. Callie has nothing to do with anyone at the facility, she just keeps to herself. But throughout the story she slowly opens up and even starts to make friends. Callie wants to get better and go home but she doesn't think she can stop cutting. I'll admit this book was a little different and strange. Having dealt with this sort of stuff it was a little rough at some points for me to read. This book is very controversial, as is this topic in society today, so there are a lot of mixed reviews on this book. I think that you should read this book if you're curious about cutting, depression or these kind of treatment facilities. I will warn you if you have a history of cutting this could be a very triggering book for you, as it was for me.
