💬 Do you like a little mystery in your books? I’m always looking for a good mystery! I also love the boarding school setting, so this seems like the perfect mix! Thank you to @sourcebooksfire for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Once Upon a Time meets Pretty little liars. Four troubled friends, One murdered girl... and a dark fate that may leave them all doomed. After the mysterious death of their best friend, Ella, Yuki, and Rory are the talk of their elite school, Grimrose Académie. The police ruled it a suicide, but the trio are determined to find out what really happened. When Nani Eszes arrives as their newest roommate, it sets into motion a series of events they couldn't have imagined. As the girls retrace their friend's last steps, they uncover dark secrets about themselves and their destinies, discovering they're all cursed to repeat the brutal and gruesome endings to their stories until they can break the cycle. This contemporary take on classic fairytales reimagines heroines as friends attending the same school. While investigating the murder of their best friend, they uncover connections to their ancient fairytale curses and attempt to forge their own fate before it's too late. . . . h a s h t a g s : #thegrimrosegirls #laurapohl #yabookstagram #yabooks #cozybedroom #cozyhome #cozyreading #bookstagram #bookish #everysquareastory #readya #mybookfeatures #jamestrevinorepost #bookcommunity #booksonbooks #coffeeandcurrentlyreading #coffeeandbooks #coffeeandseasons #bookgram #wildbooks #bookobsessed #cosymood #autumnvibes #darlingdaily #booknerdigans #booknerd #bibliophile (at Sunday Vibes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_DASKP_Wb/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Last 8 builds and builds and gets better with each page you read. It's not Illuminae level of WHOA but it's still a fun read 🙌 Full disclosure: It took a little while for me to get completely hooked as my last DNF only a couple of days ago was about a pilot and our protagonist is also a natural pilot and lover of the sky so sadly I was skeptical initially.🤦 Not sure if it was my skepticism or actually a slow start. The writing is very accessible and straightforward. It's to the point and not magical or flowery which I grew to appreciate as it better matches the overall vibes of the book 👽 The plot is basically alien invasion sparks the end of earth, with a twist 😱 I'm not usually a big alien story person but this book pleasantly surprised me. The aliens get more realistic the more you read about them and different back stories make for an engaging and fun read 😁 This feels like its more on the younger side of YA than what I usually read but it is still very enjoyable. The characters are diverse and not generalized stereotypes which is great and the author isn't afraid to kill off people (traumatic but great for the story I guess🤷) Overall a solid 3.5 stars. Rounding up because the twist and ending make it deserving of an above average rating🔥 Shout out to @sourcebooksfire for giving me the opportunity to read and review and for producing consistently high quality books ❤ the last 8 comes out March 1st! #thelast8 #thelasteight #laurapohl #netgalley #sourcebooksfire #newrelease #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksta #book #books #booksofinstagram #booksofig #readers #reading #readersofig #readersofinstagram #booklover #bibliophile #scifi #sciencefiction #aliens #yalovin #youngadultbooks #youngadultliterature #yalit #Illuminae (at Mount Aso) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-NigZH0Sh/?igshid=6a9denc4cncb
