4 stars- It's A Good Read

For Teagan, these last few months have been heaven on earth- especially now that Garreth, her boyfriend and guardian angel, is earthbound. But perhaps Garreth is becoming a little more human than either of them expected.
Now, Teagan must realize that her world is once again about to shift, as she questions the faith she held in others against those once considered enemies.
In this continuation of Angel Star, Lemniscate will draw you even deeper into the world of dark and light as Teagan realizes the angel who could possibly save them all is the one angel she feared the most (quoted from Goodreads).

Lemniscate is a great sequel and unlike Angel Star were I was definitely more team Garreth, this time around I ended up being a lot more drawn to Hadrian. It wasn't hard to see why Teagen felt so torn between the two, not only does she have the ability to see the good in everyone, but she finally understands what her important rule is between good vs evil, light vs darkness, Garreth vs Hadrian. She learns more about herself and her purpose in everything.

The characters were more in-depth, the mythology is richer, there's more twists and of course some tough choices to be made. I spent a good part of the book being really irritated with Garreth. He makes some really stupid choices that really frustrated me about his character, but at the same time had he not made these choices than two other characters, Ryan and Hadrian wouldn't have been able to enter the picture like they did. I really enjoyed getting to know them more, and they're really what I enjoyed most about the story. Let me just say, they both surprised me and it wasn't hard to love these two characters. I liked seeing a completely different side to both of them. I felt a lot more emotional connected to the characters, hence my frustrations with Garreth.

With out giving away any spoilers, there are a few great plot and character twists, and Garreth's actions make sense in the end, though I felt like Teagan was too quick to excuse his behavior. Jennifer nicely wraps up a lot of the story's plot in the end and leaves a few things left to be revealed in the next installment in this series. I'm looking forward to finding out what else is in store for Teagen, Hadrian, and Garreth. Each time Teagen is there to face the darkness, she becomes stronger, but next time she knows it's going to be a lot of harder than even she can imagine.

Lemniscate is about love, second chances, forgiveness, letting go, and most importantly redemption. If you enjoyed Angel Star, I would definitely recommend picking up Lemniscate when it's released later this month. I'll end by saying don't be surprised if you find yourself drawn to the dark side and become Team Hadrian.....

Beautiful Chaos Cover Reveal

I absolutely love the Beautiful Creatures series and like many of you, I was so excited to see the new cover reveal that Hollywood Crush posted on Thursday.

Here's a quote from their article about the cover, "On Tuesday, the novel's title ("Beautiful Chaos") was announced, which author Kami Garcia said aptly describes the tone and events of the third tome. "When you read the book, I think [the title] will be really obvious," she said. "Without a spoiler, for those who read 'Beautiful Darkness,' they know that there were a lot of actions at the end of the book, a lot of decisions that were made that yield serious consequences and some of those consequences are the essence of chaos to us." Interrrresting!"

I love it when a series has similar covers or covers that keep with the theme of the series, which has been done with each of the book's covers for this series. What do you guys think?
