My 5 Favorite Books! (Spoiler reviews!)

 

“We are Romanovs. The bond of our hearts-"
"-spans miles, memory, and time, Maria Finished.”

“Because I have a story I was meant to live. And not even you can unwrite it.

“He caught me watching him and grinned so brightly it put the sun to shame.”

“Every time he used my name, a different part of me melted.”

Romanov by Nadine Brandes is my favorite book right now at the beginning and end of the year.

(some books I read last year and the beginning of this year.)

this wonderful book is about the Romanov family and particularly  Anastasia Romanov. this is fictional book. They added and changed the story. for instance there is also a boy named Zash who she likes.

And at one point Zash is on one side of the firing squad..... And she is on the other......... I give this book a 10-10 and recommend it for 12+ 

“Igniters believe that for each Keeper that dies, one person is cured of the plague.”

“Your skin and plague don't define you.”

                                                                          "You sound like a woman"

                                                    I swept into a bow, the sword point pricking my stemrn

                                                                              "Why, thank you"

                                                       "I can see it in your eyes" she held my gaze, fury in hers. 

                                                                "you see only a lesser vessel. Slave Emma."

              I shook my head. "No" Finally, my thoughts and emotions clicked into place, aligned in my mind.

                                             And I had the words-The only words. "I see my Emma."

Fawkes Is a Fictional book about guy Fawkes son Thomas, who is pulled into a plot to Kill the king of England. there is  also a girl named emma who is already masked, Thomas's father Guy Fawkes would not come and give his son his mask so Thomas went to find him and that is when he was realed into the plot.

“I need a sword first," I said. "People here keep taking mine.”

"How does it feel?" Fink asked.
"Like butterfly kisses, what do you think?”

The Ascending series is 5 books by Jennifer A. Nielsen About a boy named Sage who is a orphan who is taken/sold by a man named Bevin Conner. who wants to create a false prince after the murder of the royal family. there is a lot more to the story though I don't want to spoil it.
