The Grisha Trilogy 10/10

The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
B1: Shadow and Bone 10/10, B2: Ruin and Rising 9/10, B3: Seige and Storm 10/10
"Set in the fictional country of Ravka, there is a form of magic that exists known as The Small Science. Those who can wield it are called Grisha, powerful practitioners considered to be a part of an exclusive class." - this explanation is better than anything I could do so here is a snippet.
This series follows a girl named Alina Starkov who has grown up completely normal and unnoticed in an orphanage. One day whilst trying to protect her super attractive hunk of a friend from being killed by a monster on the Shadow Fold (a large area of darkness full of cannibalistic monsters accidentally created by a Grisha many years ago) she reveals a power that she didn't even know about and thus leads her into the world of the Grisha where she might be the only thing able to save her world.
This series is A+ amazing. Leigh Bardugo has done an awesome job in all three books. None of the books are a let down and I was really intrigued the entire trilogy!! Also, there are so many attractive guys in the series- The Darkling, Mal, Nikolai (he comes in the second book and luckily stays for the third) ahhhhhh. Definitely recommend! You will not regret this trilogy. I love books that bring out emotion in me and throughout the series I was always feeling happy or worried or in love etc. I cried 3 times in the last book (which has one of the best book endings I have ever read. Seriously- it's original, sad, happy, EVERYTHING!

Cold Awakening Series 5/10

Cold Awakening Series by Robin Wasserman
B1: Frozen 5/10, B2: Shattered 4/10, B3: Torn 7/10
Distopian
series about a girl, Lia Kahn, who is turned into a mechanical person 'skinner' after a car accident nearly takes her life. She has always been super popular, pretty, loved by all etc etc. and now she is considered a freak by both her friends and family. The books follow her as she tries to deal with her new life and find out more information about the corporation who controls all the skinners.

This series is interesting. Not the kind of book that makes you want to stay up until 3am reading it, more of a lets-read-30-mins-a-day or I'll get too bored. EXCEPT the third book! The third book is really interesting and I loved it- definitely better
than the first two. Overall, the series is a good read and I do recommend. Plus the ending is awesome for book 3!! Not anything that I expected and I love when a book does that!!!  NOTE: Robin Wasserman updated the name of the books and their covers in the series (as you can see they look so much more appealing- the new ones are the top set) however, the books are still exactly the same inside.
