Don’t miss the first book in this series, THE COLLECTORS’ SOCIETY!
Review by: Ashley
Before I got this ARC, I had purchased The Collectors’ Society (book one of
this series) but I hadn’t read it yet.
So, I was lucky enough to get to go straight from book one into book
two, and it was awesome! But then when I
got to the end of The Hidden Library
I was like: Heather Lyons, HOW can you leave me HANGING like that?!?!?!
I need
the next one, NOW! Please?
I honestly don’t know where the ideas for
these novels came from, but it is inspired, and should be considered a classic
for the new adult genre. The different
characters from different children’s stories brought into adulthood, forming
relationships with characters from other book…it’s fantastic!
I LOVE that this book was told in dual
point of view: Alice and Finn. It was
perfect for the story line, and it really gave us more insight into how Finn
feels about Alice, as well as other characters in the story. I also feel it added to the intimacy between
Alice and Finn. Although this one isn’t scorching hot, it is definitely
swoon-worthy!
This story had me on my toes for most of
the book. I couldn’t figure out why Finn
was so upset with Tom Sawyer that he never wanted to speak to him again. But man, when they are finally in the same
space as each other…you’ll learn real quick what he’s so angry about, and it’s
totally grudge worthy. And Alice, she
just keeps growing stronger and stronger in the new role she has found herself
in. They are still trying to catch up
with whomever is editing into timelines, and destroying catalysts. And although some questions are answered in The Hidden Library, others are brought
to light.
All in all, this is a fantastic series, and
I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one! (Because I might go INSANE
wondering what happens after that cliffie if I don’t read it ASAP!)
5 Stars
Excerpt
He
did not give up on me, even when I warned him he could die in Wonderland. He
came with me anyway. I will not give up on him, either.
Finn
murmurs, “It won’t be pretty.”
“I
imagine you thought the same thing of Wonderland, especially when witnessing an
orgy and a vicious attack, all within the span of a pair of hours. Not to
mention you were attacked yourself, with SleepMist.” An event that still eats
at me.
A
breath of amusement escapes him. Yet still, he has not rejected my statement.
Several more minutes crawl by in the elegant silence of the ballroom. And then
he says, “Okay.”
I
shift my head to run my nose the length of his jawline and then back up to
place another kiss where the previous lay before. “I was afraid I was going to
have to bully you into seeing the wisdom of my plan.”
“You,
bully? Never.”
It’s
my turn to release a ghost of a laugh.
“Also,
what plan?”
“It’s
not really my plan, per se. I believe it was yours. I’m just co-opting it.”
“Listen
to you, sounding all Twenty-First Century with your co-opting threats.”
I
reach up my free hand to pat his face. “Nonetheless, my point stands.”
“What
was my plan, then?”
“You
told me two are always stronger than one.”
