Make Up Reading

I am so glad that I picked up this series. I loved "Strange the Dreamer" but I loved this book even more. You really got a great background on the world and how many of the characters became who they are. Lazlo and Sarai are definitely one my most favorite couples ever! Their love story is just so beautiful.  What I love so much about this story is the way Laini Taylor writes villains. There are so many layers to them and you often find yourself feeling so much for them. I really don't want to ruin this for you so I will just say that this is an absolutely beautiful follow up to "Strange the Dreamer". You will not be disappointed!

All she knows is that she got off of a flight from Berlin but she doesn't have her luggage, purse or ID. She can however tell them in detail the layout plan of the house. Just as Tony is about to shut the door in the girt's face she collapses. After bringing the girl in they feel as if they should look out for her. They bring her in and try and take care of her. Laura decides to call her friend who happens to be a GP. Tony meanwhile gives the girl a name, he decides to call her Jemma with a J. They invite her to stay the night in hopes that she will wake up in the morning and remember who she is. From there the story starts rolling! It is hard to give this fantastic, twisty nov...

5 out of 5 stars I have been hearing about this book for about a year when one of my top booktubers starting raving about how much she loved the book. Her love of this book had me super curious to pick this up but then another book would come out and I would end up getting that one. I also started reading a lot of ARCs so that had made me a bit busier. I finally bought this in audio form and I am so glad that I did.
