With a boy who is both man and monster, mysterious saints with uncertain motives, and a girl filled with holy magic who is just beginning to understand the full reaches of her power, this gothic jewel of a story will sink its visceral iron claws into you, never letting go until you’ve turned the last page. And truthfully, not even then -the explosive ending will haunt you for days! ” - Robin LaFevers, New York Times bestselling author of the His Fair Assassin trilogy

Review

It is a dark fantasy novel, with a complicated forbidden romance, intense world-building, multi-faced characters, power, gods, war , trust and so many twists and turns .. The story revolvers around Nadya a saint who can speak to the gods and use their magic, and Serefin a prince 👑who doesn't believe in God, who's apparently cruel. 
The characters are amazing. Nadya is on the run from the cruel prince and is connected to gods. 
She's gifted but is also intelligent, smart, and uses her heart on the right occasions. Serefin is the prince whose father is eager to sacrifice him for power, his hands adorn a cut every now and then when he uses his blood magic. He's not too keen on emotions but he's definitely cunning to find a way out of anything. 
*THISBOOKISABSOLUTELYMARVELLOUS*
And you must try it.💜❤

Title : Smile Author : Roddy Doyle Rating : 4 ⭐ / 5 ⭐ Genre : suspense Blurb Just moved into a new apartment, alone for the first time in years, Victor Forde goes every evening to Donnelly’s for a pint, a slow one. One evening his drink is interrupted. A man in shorts and a pink shirt comes over and sits down. He seems to know Victor’s name and to remember him from secondary school. His name is Fitzpatrick. Victor dislikes him on sight, dislikes, too, the memories that Fitzpatrick stirs up of five years being taught by the Christian Brothers. He prompts other memories—of Rachel, his beautiful wife who became a celebrity, and of Victor’s own small claim to fame, as the man who would say the unsayable on the radio. But it’s the memories of school, and of one particular brother, that Victor cannot control and which eventually threaten to destroy his sanity. Smile has all the features for which Roddy Doyle has become famous: the razor-sharp dialogue, the humor,
