‘The Afterlife of the Party’ by Marlene Perez



5 stars

Book Blurb:
 
“When my best friend Skyler told me about this party in the Hollywood Hills, I was less than enthused. As it turned out, my feelings were more than justified. That party ruined my life. 
 
Tansy didn’t even want to go to the party. It’s hard enough living in one of your best friend’s shadows and secretly in love with your other best friend. 
 
And now she’s leaving it a vampire.
 
Now her best friend Skyler is stuck on the road trip from hell, on tour as a groupie with a literal band of vamps. Tansy sets out with Vaughn, her other BFF turned maybe more, to save Skylar’s life and take down the band. But when they find themselves in the middle of a vampire war, will Tansy be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her friends?”

 
Review:

This was the fun and lighthearted paranormal read I needed right now.  It's easy to root for Tansy's adventure to save her BFF and the slow-burn romance brewing between her and Vaughn is entirely swoon-worthy.  Looking forward to the next book in this series! 

‘The Afterlife of the Party’ will be available on February 2, 2021.

'Midnight Sun' (The Twilight Saga #5) by Stephenie Meyer



5 stars!

Book Blurb:

“When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.

This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward's past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?”


Review:

Really enjoyed Edward's narrating and learning new details of this familiar story! It had been years since I'd last read the series, so I re-read 'Twilight' about a week before 'Midnight Sun' was released. I think having the story fresh in my mind from Bella's point of view made this an even more enjoyable read for me; his thoughts on their relationship and learning more about him and the Cullens as he remembered their history at certain points.
