• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!




MY TEASERS: 

We fly in each other’s arms in the rain over a smoldering hell.
 — End of Days by Susan Ee

I rarely read YA dystopian novels. If I do, it's because my friends who have the same tastes as I or knows me recommend them to me. A lot of my friends raved about this series and I thought, “Hey, why not? Let's give it a try.” Suffice to say, Penryn and the End of Days has become one of my favorite YA books of all time.

For a YA dystopian novel, there wasn't much romance which I found good because when your race is on the verge of being completely annihilated by angels, kissing and the romantic stuff can wait. This series was terrifying because of how graphic everything was and the heroine wasn't annoying at all. Add her banter with the sexy af archangel, everything was perfect.

I've been waiting for this book for months already only to end up disappointed. In the final book, for some unknown reason, the main characters suddenly have trouble controlling their sexual urges. In the first two books, the characters rarely interact romantically but now they kiss a lot even in the middle of saving people. It felt like the romantic elements in the story were crammed in here to the point that it sometimes annoyed because they were still trying to save the world.
