All, that is, apart from DC Sue Clarke, who has been summoned to the discovery of a human foot in a farmer’s field. The only thing she has left from her mother is a dilapidated burnt red case which is taken away from her by the sinister deputy head, Hemlock, the moment she enters the school. Eventually, they meet a man named Barron and his teenage son, Flynn, but a betrayal delivers Frost and Bunt into the hands of the cruel and murderous Good John Lord, who has built a society built on exploitation and slavery and is eager to get his hands on Bunt.

She has spunk even if her life just turned real ugly and she isn't one just to bow her head to a king, particularly when he is coming into the human world. Once she’s out there it’s problem after problem and she essentially sees a chaotic world with only a faraway light known as the ‘battery’ to give her hope for her dying pet. Bloodstone island is home to exotic creatures such as the petrifying Komado dragons, majestic Falcons and graceful Wildcats who have eyes as deep and mystifying as the solar system.The character Strauch has a tendency to speak in long, ranting monologues, which characterises all of Bernhard’s subsequent work. I liked the tournaments, but I wished there was one that showed something that required using your brain and not just your brawns. They also experience many things for the first time, monumental events that they'll remember for the rest of their lives: falling in love, driving a car, or graduating high school.

Christine is from Lexington, Massachusetts and has had a lifelong interest in New England folklore--with a particular fondness for creepy old cemeteries. Imagine a world where society has fallen, humans eating other humans, and robots are superior to people. But following Frost home will give her more story than she bargained for–dangerous mercenaries, spaceships, intrigue, and a sexy blue-skinned alien looking for more than a one night stand.I immediately downloaded book 2 and I'm speeding through this review so I can go start the next book 😅 Loved reading this with you all!

I was actually at the part where things were really starting to get interesting, but my commute was over and it was a Friday evening and I was just never able to make myself pick it back up to see how it ended.

And Barrow, his father, who reminded me of a combination between Rick and Glenn, both characters on The Walking Dead. They weren’t lying when they said that this is the perfect combination of The Bachelor meets Hunger Games. To help him investigate the case of the missing child, Frost has been assigned a new sidekick, the Chief Constable’s nephew. The suspense of the Eaters grabbed me and the journey Frost embarks on with Romes and her protective robot Bunt sent me on a roller coaster ride that I didn't want to end. The ending and moments leading up to it were some capturing scenes I wasn’t expecting, yet they were delivered perfectly.We get the feeling pretty early on that there's something *sPeCiAL* about her, and usually I don't like it when the FMC is so different because she dares to speak up. I adored how bloody and brutal the bride contest was and though I had an inkling of what Ava’s origins were going to be revealed as I still enjoyed this immensely. It works really well for getting the reader invested in Cassie, it’s just that I always want more history in my books!

He'll choose 100 fae women to compete in a tournament, which will be televised to the humans for the first time every. praying scholastic let’s the author release the sequel, it has been written and has said to be better than the first book and i need to read it asap! When I was reading high-rated reviews on this book, just to see how this could possibly be rated so high - people were describing it as "if you like ACOTAR", or "The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games". When she finds him cheating on her with some what a be actress on her birthday its over and all her dreams are ruined so what does she do?
