THE OBSESSIONS TRIALS II - April 5th-11th

-
a


 I told myself I would read slowly this month…..

but apparently I thrive on emotional damage and questionable decisions.


Here’s where I’ve landed:


—

TRIAL 1

BOOK:

Immortal Consequences

PROMPT: Academic Competiton , Betrayal Between Friends


Too many POVs had me fighting for my life 

but the afterlife academy?? the trials?? the climb to magic elite status??

I saw the vision and I respect it.


TRIAL 2

BOOK:

These Violent Delights

PROMPT: A Book About Obessession, A Forbidden Romance


My heart is shattered, my night was wrecked.

The ending? It should have been illegal


TRIAL 3

BOOK:

A Lesson in Vengeance

PROMPT: Set at a School, A Mysterious Death


This one? This is the atmosphere I’m chasing.

haunting, heavy, dripping in grief and guilt—

academia wrapped in secrets and slow unraveling minds.

obsessed with the characters, stayed for the tension, never recovered.


TRIAL 4

BOOK:

Half City

PROMPT: Forbidden Romance, Morally Grey Scholar


Grief-stricken demon hunter FMC sent to a school full of secrets?

dead father mystery?

and she falls for the demon?

Yes. Obviously. No notes.


If this week has proven anything, it is that I did not slow down, but that I did sink deeper into the genre. I am taking this week off from the challenge, as I have several commitments I need to get done, not to mention a few new books I want to read. So see you in two weeks for my wrap up

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books Set In Another Time

Top Ten Tuesday  was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.     Books Set in Another Time ( These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now. ) I found this one a bit difficult and really had to look on my shelves, because I do not read much other than contempory books, Well other than Tudor History and I didn't want to bog you down with 10 books on them. I could have. Several times over LOL. Anyway, I did manage to squeak out 10.... DRACULA BY BRAM STOKER Best Vampire book ever.... When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents...
