Erin Morgenstern which I received as a gift It is described as a quotRomeo and Juliet tale drenched in magic realismquot If you are someone who enjoys fantasy fiction like I do you might like this one The story is focused on Zachary Rawlins who comes across a mysterious book filled with tales of lost cities lovelorn prisoners and more But then he turns the page to a story about his own childhood in this book that seems older than he is The journey to discovering the origins of the book leads him to a world of mystery romance and to two people who will change his life foreverThe Devil39s ThiefI39m excited to read this book the most It39s actually the second book in The Last Magician series by Lisa Maxwell I won39t give away too much about this one but it is another fantasy fiction story filled with magic and time traveling One of the things I really liked about the first book was the character development and how likeable the characters are even the villains in the story That is always one thing I look for when reading so if I don39t like the characters or can39t relate to them in any way then I get uninterested very fastCity of Lost GirlsI wanted to add a mysterydetective book to my list so I39ll be reading City of Lost Girls by Declan Hughes Ed Loy39s past seems to be repeating when two women go missing from his film set Twenty years ago three women went missing from

the Mageus and can manipulate time For her final assignment she must travel back in time to steal a book containing secrets to the Order before the Magician can destroy itNow I know that39s a lot to take in but the story is so good I love the characters and it keeps you guessing until the very endThe Hollow Trilogy The Hidden The HauntedAnother great series these classified as ghost and paranormal fiction which is beings and phenomena that are outside the realm of normal scientific understandingI recommend these books if you enjoy an intriguing romance that is somewhat in the same boat as Twilight I couldn39t put any of these books down Now that I own them all I39ll most likely be reading them again at some pointThe story is set in Sleepy Hollow based on Washington Irving39s

and runins with the police One became a Rhodes Scholar decorated veteran White House Fellow and business leader The other ended up a convicted murderer serving a life sentenceIt is a very inspiring and moving reallife narrative that anyone will enjoy readingThe Lying GameI read this a while ago but it39s still on my bookshelf so I think I liked it The Lying Game by Ruth Ware is filled with
