The finale to Red Queen was satisfying and tied in all of the important events nicely. I enjoyed it thoroughly and Aveyard kept the suspense. War Storm was a pretty good book, and it kept me entertained.

I love it

This book was great! Likely because it fell in my lap at a time when we have been digging into our family ancestry. The story focuses on a sister who is working as a fact checker at a magazine and has DNA tests done for a work project that say she is not her parents' daughter. It sends her into a deep dive trying to prove that the test was wrong, since her parents are both dead and she cannot ask them. As she delves further, she is contacted by the sister who has been searching for her since she was abducted as a child. The way these two instantly bond and fight, in my mind, further proved to me how they were cut from the same cloth. The twists come in when you finally learn the details of how the abduction happened, and who all knew and said nothing for years.

This book popped into a recommended list after reading after The Haunting of Alejandra, so I had really high hopes. Unfortunately, it just fell flat. I found it hard to follow the two parallel stories of the curandera(s) in the story. The characters were so similar, that it was difficult to differentiate what story belonged to who.

Wonderful way to teach feelings through colors and fun! The Color Monster is perfect for helping toddlers understand emotions in a simple, visual way. My toddler loves monsters, so this book really clicked! We even drew our own monsters and colored them based on different feelings—it turned into a fun craft and learning activity. It’s also been great for early writing practice—my child enjoyed labeling feelings like happy, sad, and angry. A creative, engaging way to build emotional awareness and writing skills!
