Booked with Abby

*** SPOILERS ***   Basically, book talks are me talking about my thoughts on the book and exciting parts. In the comment section below, feel free to comment your thoughts and start a discussion. Don Burkhart Jr.    Who else was annoyed by this character? When he was kidnapped and drugged while playing hide and seek, I really thought he was playing just to get Sophie fired. I would have never thought that he was actually kidnapped.   The Thriller Writer    I was so convinced that this guy was going to be the kidnapper or at least working with them. How else would he have known the EXACT PLOT of the story? The Ludwigs    I loved Mrs. Ludwig at the beginning of the story. I never suspected that she would have been the one behind the kidnappings. Kerstin Gier wrote everything so perfectly. As soon as Mrs. Ludwig knocked on the door to the hotel room the night that Sophie was babysitting Dasha, I knew she was the kidnapp...

     I have reviewed so many amazing books this month a loved most of them. So let's not waste to much time here and get right into the wrap-up.   Septimus Heap: Magyk by Angie Sage Rating: 1 star Series: Septimus Heap  (book 1) Before picking this book up, I heard such good things about it. This was such a letdown. Click here for my review! Flashback Four: The Lincon Project by Dan Gutman Rating: 4 stars Series: Flashback Four  (book 1) I wouldn't have normally picked this book up, but we were on a vacation to Gettysburg where there was a book store in the museum. This was the only book that sparked my interest even a little and I'm so glad I read it. Click here for my review! A Castle in the Clouds (ARC) by Kirsten Gier  Rating: 5 stars This was my first ARC book and it did not let me down! This is definitely my favorite mystery book. Click here for my review!

 Sophie Sparks is a 17-year-old high school dropout. She works as an intern at A Castle in the Clouds, a European hotel. Between a budding romance and dark secrets, Sophie may be more helpful than she thought. As majestic as the building is, there are secrets that the owners hold. And some guests aren't who they say they are...(dun, dun, dunnnn). I did not see that ending coming! I would have never guessed the bad guys were who they were. The mystery was so well crafted and I never knew who the bad guys were until they were foreshadowed a page before being revealed. The author has such a way of creating suspense and this book kept me on the edge of my seat! And Sophie's romance with two boys kinda reminded me of America with Maxon and Aspen from The Selection  series by Kiera Cass. They fight like Aspen and Maxon and one of them even has the charm of Maxon. It's obvious from the beginning who Sophie will choose in the end. I highly recommend reading this book. It is my new ...

  So before I begin I will just explain to you what the book club is. So I'm not sure what the name really is so what this book club basically is everyone reads different books each month. All the books we have to choose are ARC(advanced readers copy) books that come out in a few months. Since this was my first time at the club, I only picked up four books. So, here's my haul! A Castle in the Clouds by Kerstin Gier By the time I get to writing this post, I'm already around 50 pages into this book and so far, it's great! This book comes out in January of 2020, so keep your eyes open for this! So the rest of these books are already out, but the lady running the book club had ARC copies and gave them to us anyway.  The Beholder by Anna Bright Maybe a Mermaid by Josephine Cameron I first found this book at Target over the summer so while no one else wanted it, I took it.  We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal I could never find a...
