Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo thanks to my Prose Sister @Kingdom for recommending
Currently reading the third and last installment*
This book is actually for young adults which i'm way past but i don't care.
Fantasy book that involves two orphans who are inlove but discovered that their worlds apart. It has a different kind of approach to "you and me against the world" love story because it involves fighting the Darkness with the Light. And it doesn't evolve on the love story itself but the love for the people surrounding them. Sacrifices and Suffering for the greater good.
It's better than Harry Potter. (Yes i am betraying J.K Rowling so SORRY i'm hurting too)
I'd say it's a 4 star (i don't give perfect scores. Hahaha)
Try it. You'll love it. I'm addicted.
Scarlet
I consider it a bridge between a really good book and another really good book. The bridge has to be strong, but it also needs to lead from the first one to the second one--so some things make absolutely no sense, and tons of new characters have to be introduced. Overall I give it a 4 out of 5: EXCELLENT PLOT OMG. I love how it's split narration between almost all of the characters in the whole story, which you don't find a lot of in these kinds of books. The author is Marissa Meyer and she's amazing. I recommend :)
The Bad Boy’s Girl
The book was amazing, unlike most books, this isn't a cliche where the bad boy falls in love with the girl, yes there is a bad boy but he was always in love with the girl, he just showed it in a way, that isn't conventional among teenage boys.
On a scale from 1-10 I give it a 9 since it still feels like it's missing something, other than that, it's perfect for anyone who has a link for cheesy romance stories.

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry
I just finished this fantastic book yesterday. The first time I read it was in eighth grade and I wanted to read it again. The book is the second book in The Giver quartet. It has one small reference to The Giver—if you think of it as being a reference to The Giver—but other than that it doesn't have much to do with the previous book.
The book is about a girl, Kira, with a twisted leg who has a talent for threading. She lives in a community in which the weak are taken to the "Field" to be taken by "Beasts." After her mother, the only person who protected her from the terrifying fate that could have been, passes away, Kira is targeted by other women in the village who want her land. She goes to trial and is allowed to stay and given a special task, but what she really wants is the color blue for it was the only color her mother could not make to dye threads with.
It's an absolutely wonderful novel and is very difficult to put down. I recommend it.
Young Samurai: Way of the Dragon
This book is by Chris Bradford and is the final book in the original Young Samurai trilogy. It takes place in 17th century Japan.
The book focuses on Jack Fletcher, a fourteen year old English boy who has spent two years in Japan after the ship he was sailing on crashed and was attacked by ninjas hired by the Portugese, who were trying to steal his father's rutter, or navigational book.
Jack learned Japanese and made friends at the Niten Ichī Ryu, a Samurai School. (Side note: Loosely translated, Niten Ichī Ryun means 'Two Heavens come together as one school", referring to the Two Heavens technique tought to the school's most advanced students.)
In Way of the Dragon, Jack and his friends Akiko, Yamato, Yori, and Saburo partake in the Circle of Three trials to see who will be taught the Two Heavens technique. In the end, Jack and Akiko qualify along with four other students, including Jack's arch rival Kazuki.
It is soon brought to the school's attention that a Daimyō, or feudal lord, is attempting to take power over Japan. The Niten Ichī Ryu travels to Osaka Castle to join with their local Daimyō to crush the attempted Revolution.
It seems that the defenders of Osaka Castle will easily win the battle, but Jack discovers that the castle is being invaded by ninja, including the evil Drakon Eye, a ninja with only one eye.
In the end, the defenders are defeated, and over half the Niten Ichī Ryu students are defeated. Power changes hands in Japan, while meanwhile, Jack sets off to Nagasaki in hopes of finding his way back to England.
Overall I was very pleased with this book. 9/10.
God Emperor of Dune
I enjoyed it, though the sequel is turning out to be even better. It was written by Frank Herbert. It's about Leto I I 3500 years after his transformation started, and there are subversive elements who want him dead because he is a tyrant. We see the truth of his brutality, and that he can still feel emotions that humans do.
