Book Description (from Good Reads):
Rev Fletcher is battling the demons of his past. But with loving adoptive parents by his side, he’s managed to keep them at bay...until he gets a letter from his abusive father and the trauma of his childhood comes hurtling back.
Emma Blue spends her time perfecting the computer game she built from scratch, rather than facing her parents’ crumbling marriage. She can solve any problem with the right code, but when an online troll’s harassment escalates, she’s truly afraid.
When Rev and Emma meet, they both long to lift the burden of their secrets and bond instantly over their shared turmoil. But when their situations turn dangerous, their trust in each other will be tested in ways they never expected. This must-read story will once again have readers falling for Brigid Kemmerer’s emotional storytelling.

Opinion:
  • Characters: 8.5
    • Rev is an amazing person, who faced struggles far too great and yet overcame them. Even though he has all that in his past he is still worries about the way he looks he is still shy about girls, he so lovely.
    • Seeing our lovely couple, Jullie and Dec, oh seeing them again it's very nice.
    •  Emma, she's nice but annoying selfish. But ok overall.
  • Intention 10.0
    • Very powerful message. Delivered, completely blew my mind. Danger lingers everwhere hiding sometimes even in the face of people we trust.
  • Plot 9.5
    • Can hardly complain.
  • Writing Style 9.5 love it, easy to read or maybe it was the gripping story that made me devour it.
  • Intrigue 10.0
    • Couldn't put it down. Even if it was too much drama, I still enjoyed it too much. 
  • Logic 9.5
    • Did not like the decisions they made but it really made sense. When people are going through difficult times it is hard to see what the right choice is and taking the sensible and logical decision is not always as easy. The issues presented and the way people acted, while I d not like the way things escalated because being teens they refused to immediately ask for help, I do see that it does fit the profile of someone in a tough situation... Emotions do cloud the better judgment and make turning for help even from family or friends very difficult. 
  • Enjoyment 10.0 
    • I did love it, the situations were not to my liking and made me a bit uncomfortable but I thoroughly enjoyed my time in this story.
Average: 9.57
5 Stars!!

 This book helped me complete the challenges:

  • Lost-A-Thon 
    • Cozy Read
    • Rainy day Read
  • Emojiathon
    • Book by Bridig Kemmerer it was supposed to be letters to the lost but I just finished that so I thought it'd be great to read the follow-up. I actually liked this one better than letters to the lost!!

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.

Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life.
