Happy Place by Emily Henry

  Happy Place by Emily Henry   Romance I may have only read seven books this year so far, but I can confidently say that I am glad that Happy Place was one of those seven. Not only was this one of my favorite books I have read in a while, but it was also the most perfect refreshing book of the summer.  Emily Henry uses a common thread throughout her stories. Those threads are connected by time, time jumps, memories, etc. This story takes place between the now and the past of the protagonist, Harriet’s, summers in Knott’s Harbor, Maine. She and her five other friends travel back to Maine for a long-awaited reunion, but not all is right.

From those sea breeze winds to small-town shopping...

  Fantasy - Ages 16 and older Bryce Quinlan was living her perfect life- “working hard all day and partying all night.” That was until a demon murdered her closest friends. Now two years later when the mysterious murders start back up again, Bryce finds herself digging to find answers in the middle of the investigation. She will do whatever it takes to “avenge” the deaths of her friends.  When Hunt Athalar, an infamous fallen angel, now a slave to the Archangels, is offered an irresistible deal that could change his whole future: help Bryce find the murder in a times notice, then his freedom will be granted. How can he say no? As the two venture throughout Crescent City’s darkest corners, they will uncover things such as a dark power that threatens everyone, and everything. A threat that could set them free in one of two ways, if they let it…  Oh my god. Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas is a sizzling, mysterious, and action packed fantasy novel that had me questioning every...
