A beautiful story, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab takes you away to a new
world--one where a girl named Addie makes a deal with the “devil”. The book takes you on an
adventure as Addie tells her story of how she lives to hundreds of years old, experiencing wars,
corruption, and success--and finds love within it. Schwab’s writing style of building off of mainly
flashbacks draws readers tightly into the story, with its ups and downs and chapters full of

Vengeful by V.E. Schwab is one of the only sequels that I thoroughly enjoyed and am content
with the ending. Just like its prequel, Vicious

pain and illness, which limits his powers and increasingly weakens him each day. Mitch and

Aurelia

I can't believe I waited so long to read this teenage romance. This is a fantastic high fantasy about a teenage girl, but you can tell this is the author's debut book. I have confidence Osterlund will do wonderful things with the rest of this trilogy. I had a great time reading the fast-paced story. I want to see what she can do with the romantic tone when she has a little time under her belt.

I adore the character Aurelia. She is the type of woman of steel I always imagined a princess would be. Her blended family situation came across cleanly, with just a little violence.
