Full review: https://wanderinglectiophile.wordpress.com/2018/07/09/review-the-darkest-part-of... I liked this one but I didn't love it. Glad I read it? Yes. My full review is in the link above. This book was so delightfully creepy. Creepy is not usually my genre, but this book pulled it off without too much focus on the horror parts of the story(and there were some). I thought the characters were interesting and the romance balanced nicely to not overtake the story, but present enough to be nice. I thought this was a much darker fariy novel. I did like the characters and the world building but the conflict could have been stronger at points and the plot did drag. I really did love the myth she created in this book and the darker story that we got. The thing that stood out to me was the world building and the characters. I feel like the plot was unbalanced at points and slow burn but I am glad I read it. I am excited to see what ties it has to her cruel prince series! no reviews | add a review

Hazel and Ben live in a town that is just like you or I, but with one small addition. There is a glass coffin hiding in the woods with a boy with horns inside. Its been there so long no one knows exactly when it first showed up, but it has been part of their lives for as long as they can remember.
Until one day, the unbreakable coffin is found shattered and empty.
This book reads almost like a video game. Hazel is like you and me as a child, running around pretending to be a knight. There is boss battle after boss battle until you get to the biggest boss battle of them all!! With surprise twists all the way until the end, it was a very fun read. ( )
