What is this book about? 

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.


What I thought of it?

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Format: hardback
ISBN13: 9781785652509


I expected to love this book because I simply adore V.E. Schwab, but this exceeded my expectations! 

Schwab’s writing was so beautiful, it felt like she managed to mix poetry into prose and maybe everyone as said that, but it’s because it’s true. 

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue felt as timeless as Addie herself, yet, I could never forget this book, or Addie. Her story was just thought provoking yet it felt so natural and so relatable. 

This is a novel, a work of fiction, and yet it felt like so much more at the same time.

    Kiss the Fae   (Vicious Faeries #1)  by  Natalia Jaster What is this book about?  There are three rules to surviving the Fae—and I’m about to break every single one. Rule #1. Never cross into Faerie. When I’m chased across the enchanted border and caught by its sinister ruler of the sky, the pretty trickster with a clever tongue offers me a deal. Rule #2: Never bargain with a Fae. But I don’t have a choice. For thirteen days, I have to survive in his mountainous maze of crooked bridges, deceptive stairways, and devious inhabitants. Refuse, and my sisters will suffer as punishment. Rule #3: Never fall for the enemy. I should have known my sexy captor wouldn’t play fair. The deeper I plunge into this dangerous world of Solitary Fae, the more I’m entangled in their ruler’s seductive web of desire—and the forbidden temptations he offers. The price of losing this wicked game is everything I love. But winning might just cost me my heart. What I thought of it?...

The Chase (Briar U #1) by Elle Kennedy  What is this book about?  All books in the series can be read as stand-alones.  Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates? I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down. I’m not the kind of girl who chases after a man, though, and I’m not about to start. I’ve got my hands full dealing with a new school, a sleazy professor, and an uncertain future. So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s...

     Deity (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout What is this book about?  ! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE SECOND BOOK !  . . . Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably...
