GRAVE MERCY By

I am going to admit that by looking at the cover of this book I thought it was going to be super cheesy, but after reading the summary and realizing it was about (basically) assassin nun I just had to give it a chance.

I was quite pleased with this novel. It had just a little bit of everything such as action, mystery, romance, death, and betrayal, and none of these key items seem to overlap each other throughout the book which was a good thing and created a good flowing pace in the book which was neither boring nor too fast.

the characters where also very interesting and developed quite allot throughout the book. though some of the minor characters didn't develop as much as I would have liked them to, but I think that is do to the fact that we didn't see much of them like Beast and Annith and allot of other people.
I did like Ismae as a main character we not only got to see the strong. assassin side of her, but we also got to see the insecure, venerable, more feminine side of her that I don't think we get to see with most female protagonists because the authors tend to focus allot on making the females be strong and brave that they forget to add in the femininity in all of us which make them seem lees heroic and more like robots.

As for the romance in the book it was all very sweet and touching, but it was missing something. I cant quite place my finger on it, but it was lacking something. Now don't get me wrong, It wasn't bad or insta love or anything, but it could have been better.

grave Mercy is and exiting historical novel that will keep you on your toes, smile at the bad ass females, make you laugh at the characters wits, and wish for an extra chapter.

SLATED By Teri Terry

One look at the cover and we can clearly see  we have an interesting book on our hands,and once your curiosity gets the best of you you have already read 10 chapters. There is no turning back now.

The character had both their faults and virtues, so I guess that these same faults and virtues are what made them so relatable and human. For example, the various characters of mom, dad, and Amy kept getting on my good side and my bad side which made it hard for me to decide in the end if I enjoyed reading about them or not, but that's one of the real  life qualities that this book has. People are not always going to be on your good side or bad side, they change.
I really enjoyed seeing Kyla's point of view thought the whole story because we get to experience all of the deep emotions that go on in her head even though if there where some minor inconsistencies in the story sometimes. What I mean by "inconsistencies" is that she is supposed to  be experiencing everything for the first time again because she was slated right? yet she instantly recognizes, and does not flinch at the sound of a gunshot. Again. these where minor details, but it just made me wonder sometimes...

As for the plot SLATED is a book that is sure to take you on a suspense packed roller coaster that seems to accelerate its speed every 5 seconds. The story always had me guessing, and maybe even skipping ahead a few time to see what would happen...(sorry not sorry) but its not like its all action all the time. no. its just the right amount of suspense to keep you on your toes while not overdoing it too much.
Even though I would have killed for a little more background on how "slating" came to be it was still a very good first installment, and I am very intrigued about what happens next.
