I Don't How To Feel About This One But I Hated The Ending^^!
Lovely War by Julie Berry

“The most ordinary mortal bodies are housed by spectacular souls.”
This book has a mixture of almost every existing genre.
There is basically no way you wont like it...
I read up to 150 pages before I got hooked. it is also pretty slow as its partly contemporary.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

4.25 This was captivating! I really liked the murder mystery aspect and.. guess what? I totally wasn't dumbfounded by the ending. I mean.. I was but not really.

Really enjoyed the story although I needed a few more thorough explanations
While I liked the general idea of the story, the execution was alright but would probably have been better if the novel was a little longer. The narrator Mary, was pretty unreliable which wasn't particularly a bad thing but it also didn't allow us to delve into the Blackwood family's past. Although we did find out about them later on, we were still left guessing what really happened. Overall, a short and sweet gothic novel with a little mystery.

Carrie by Stephen King

“People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”
Although I watched the 2013 adaptation and remake of the original movie before reading this, it was still pretty fun and dark. It was definitely easy seeing this as Stephen King's first publication. Carrie as a character was really interesting, especially how she's an anti-villain. it was also really fascinating how we could see into her mind and how she's slowly going mad which was something that couldn't have possibly been brought into the big screen.

The Call Of Ctulhu by H.P. Lovecraft
2.0
Was very meh
Cthulhu was indeed a very mysterious and interesting creature and I do want to know more about it but only a quarter of a page was "Cthulhu" itself. So basically I waited this whole time reading about a person called Thurston talking about his Uncle and investigating Cthulhu, we never even see what Cthulhu does, he's basically just "super powerful"and can "drive people mad" but isn't that a little too vague. This isn't really a rant but I am kinda mad. I was trying my best to not let Lovecraft come into my mind while reading the story but that was a little impossible because I don't particularly like him and I hope that he hasn't affected my rating and review.
Here's a quote I liked from it though to lighten things up:
There are vocal qualities peculiar to men, and vocal qualities peculiar to beasts; and it is terrible to hear the one when the source should yield the other.
