Review: I really enjoyed this book. I love a good retelling of a Disney tale and I was excited to read this book and it definitely lived up to expectations. I love that the storyline of this book is connected to the ret of the books in this series, and I'm definitely excited to read the rest of them. I really enjoyed learning more about the beasts past and what made him so evil. I also enjoyed learning about the beasts previous attempts at love and how desperate he was to break the curse. I loved when we got to see Belle in this book and I wish we got to see a bit more of her. I thought the storyline was really good and I loved seeing bits from the odd sisters and their storyline. Overall I'm excited to see where this series goes and I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes retellings of the classic Disney tales.

Review: I enjoyed this retelling and it was a good sequel to the first book. I liked the odd sisters and Tulip and liked learning more about them and their storylines, but what I didn't like was the fact that they got bigger parts in this book than Ariel and Ursula. This book is quite short but I felt like we never got to see Ariel ad Ursula, we got told why Ursula became evil but we never got to see much of The Little Mermaid 's storyline. This book was way to focused on the odd sisters and Tulip. Overall I'm excited to read the third book in this series and I hope its more focused on the villain.

Review: Wow I really enjoyed this book. It was short but I loved every minute of it. I've never read the War On Gods series but after reading The Shield Of Nike I'm now very intrigued to read it. Since this is a companion story I thought that there would be points that I would be confused but that wasn't the case. The storyline flowed well and kept me engrossed, the characters were interesting and likeable, I really liked Valeria and she was an enjoyable main character. I will definitely be reading War On Gods and I would definitely recommend this.

Review: I loved this book. It was an amazing sequel to City Of Ghosts and it made me fall in love with the characters all over again. I loved the storyline, poltergeists have always intrigued me and I loved that it was explored in this book. I also loved that this was set in Paris. I've always wanted to go to Paris and the descriptions of the city made it easy to envision and made me want to visit Paris even more. Lara is still my favourite character and I loved that her and Cassidy's friendship developed and made them closer. Cassidy was a great main character again and she just keeps on getting better. Jacob was starting to annoy me through this book and I hope that he gets better in the third book. Overall I loved this book and I'm really excited for the third book to be released in September. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who wants to read about ghost hunters hunting ghosts in different countries.

Wishing you a fantastic reading journey in 2020, Dragonfly!
