13. A Court of Thorns and Roses

By Sarah J. Maas (416 pp)

My friend Kira gave me this book and when I read the first couple of chapters I wasn't sure. But then I got hooked. Then I squeezed in extra time to read it so I could finish it this week. She told me the next two are better and suggested I buy them right away so I didn't have to rush out and panic-buy them later. It's the holidays so I had to make a Powell's run anyway, so the next two tomes are sitting here. It's about young woman trying to help her family survive in poverty at the edge of the wall between the human world and the faerie world. She unknowingly kills a faerie and ends up with a ton of new problems. Fun reading.
