Showcase Sunday is a weekly book haul hosted by the wonderful Vicky @ Books Biscuits and Tea. This week I am celebrating obtaining the following fantastic books the past few weeks!
For Review!
The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa
Thanks Netgallery and HarlequinTeen!!!!
Five "Star" Reasons I loved this book:
1. Ethan and Kenzie travel around Faeryland and Eatth. Including my home state of Maryland!
2. Grim is still an awesome and has many, like a hundred (ok I'm exaggerating), appearances!
3. Ethan is does Kali, which is one the most awesome martial arts that I every heard of. Who knew sticks could be so powerful? The Filipino culture definitely created an amazing form of martial arts!
4. Kenzie, the female lead, has a surprising secret!
5. Julie Kagawa is a geniuns in the way she writes descriptions of Faeryland, Kali and the other places Ethan goes to. She just plains writes impeccably!!!
6. Ok. I couldn't stop at five. The Lost Prince is a rare five star book where I will never forget; I will love with all my heart; I wish I could hug a physical copy of (come on October) and I will consistently recommend on my blog in the most creative ways possible. This spotlight in Showcase Sunday is just the beginning!

Thanks for reading!
The Lost Prince seems the popular book in stacks this week! <3 Not that I'm complaining, since I know that Julie Kagawa is amazing with words! <3 LOVE your five stars reasons, Rachel! ;) My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century looks amazing! And Glitch is an okay read for me. Like you said, not amazing, but still somehow I enjoyed it! Can't wait to read your review later! x)
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul, Rachel! Happy reading! <3
Oh, I am so very excited about Julie Kagawa's new project. Who knows how things will work out with Ethan?! She does male POV well, as proven in Ash's book, which makes me hopeful about this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll just have to read Onyx soon, there's no resisting it.
Happy reading, Rachel!
The Lost Prince is everywhere this week! I should hurry up and read The Iron Fey books.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad you like The Lying Games books, I need to catch up and I've been wondering if the tv show is coming back
I just love the cover to The Lost Prince. I'm sort of more excited about Ethan than I was for Megan's story. I got Onyx too! Can't wait for some Daemon yumminess! I can't wait to see what you think of My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century. Great haul Rachel. :)
ReplyDeleteSome awesome books Rachel, My Super Sweet Sixteenth, sounds amazing! So I can't wait to read your review! And yay for Onyx too! Hope you enjoy all your reads :)
ReplyDeleteThe Lost Prince! I really loved The Iron Fey series so definitely can't wait to read Julie's newest series. I also need to catch up with reading Obsidian since I've heard nothing but great things about it and the sequel is also out already!
ReplyDeleteAwesome books this week, Rachel! ♥ Hope you enjoy all the books you got this week and happy reading :)
Ahh, you've already read The Lost Prince!!! So excited that Grim still plays a large role! :) So glad you loved it. That's disappointing about Glitch; I've heard really mixed things so far so I guess I'll see when it comes out!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't the biggest fan of Glitch either. It's a shame, as I think it could have really been great. :( I can't wait to read The lost prince! Grimalkin is amazing so I know I'll love it everytime he pops up. Thanks for sharing, Rachel! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of people with The Lost Prince! I haven't read any of these books so I have a feeling I am missing out on something big! I hope you enjoy it. I also had similar feelings about Glitch. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI got the Lost Prince too!! Totally forgot to post about that one haha. I'm so excited to read it! Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteI love Onyx so hard, and hope you do too.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading,

The Lost Prince seems to be so popular these days! I wasn't a huge fan of the Iron Fey Series, but I loved The Immortal Rules, so I'm excited to see what you think of it! I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for Glitch which makes me think it isn't the book for me, but hopefully you'll enjoy it a lot more!(: Enjoy, Rachel! :D
