My review of the book was supposed to go up on Monday, but I'm still not happy with it and I'm way to exhausted to attempt to edit it! But look out for a full review here soon because I have to say- I loved this book! It's got the full package- magic and mystique, a wonderful Romeo and Juliet style love story, a thrilling storyline, danger, and a mystery to unravel.
I love getting new book recommendations so if you have written up a monthly wrap-up post please link it up here and let us which book you read/ reviewed this February was your favourite!
For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels.
Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself.

Mostly I've heard not so great things about Mystic City but I've been wanting to read it for a while now so I'm glad someone actually says something positive about it! :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked Mystic City - i have to admit it's not appealed to me since I find the cover a little dull, but maybe I should give it a second look! :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh it's good to hear that Mystic City was your BOTB for this month...my friend's in the middle of reading this at the moment, and she loves it, and I thought it looked quite good but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to read it...but now I think perhaps I'll have to get it out of the library once she's finished with it! :D
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad to hear you enjoyed Mystic City! I picked up a copy after Christmas and it's waiting to be read. I'll have to bump it up my TBR pile :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked Mystic City too! Good to see you liked it as well! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved, loved, LOVED Mystic City and thought the world building was lovely, the whole city came alive in my head like 3-d image. I also loved This is Not A Test.
ReplyDeleteMystic City was probably my meh review of the month (although I read it last year and forgot all about it). Seems to be a bit of a marmite book.
ReplyDeleteI am SOOOOO glad you loved Mystic City! I was surprised by how much I adored it. OHMYGAWSH. I need the sequel NOW.
ReplyDeleteEveryone who has read Mystic City really seems to like it! I had better add it to my TBR list! You had a great reading month! Have a great one in March!
