“My plan: Get into the city. Get Nadia. Find a way out. Simple.” A week ago, seventeen-year-old Lela Santos’s best friend, Nadia, killed herself. Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance—hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn’t just anyone—she’s determined to save her best friend’s soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife. As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she’s captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city’s endless streets. Their all-too-human leader, Malachi, is unlike them in every way except one: his deadly efficiency. When he meets Lela, Malachi forms his own plan: get her out of the city, even if it means she must leave Nadia behind. Malachi knows something Lela doesn’t—the dark city isn’t the worst place Lela could end up, and he will stop at nothing to keep her from that fate.

True confession: I had never even heard of this book. And I saw a two star review of it on goodreads, which for some reason (?), had me intrigued. I downloaded the sample onto my kindle, and at the end of the sample I clicked the buy-now-and-continue-reading-thingy. I am still baffled at myself. I don't even read this genre, guys (me? Urban fantasy?).I know nothing about this genre, so it's not like I can compare, all I know is this: I was drawn into this world and spent most the day finding"My plan: Get into the city. Get Nadia. Keep us safe. Find a way out. Simple." IT'S BEEN A LOOOONG TIME SINCE I FELT THE RUSH OF ADRENALINE FROM READING A BOOK. I miss it. I need it. I am C-R-A-V-I-N-G for it. Craving for that pumped up feeling and the need to stay up late merely because I can't put it down.THANK GOD I STUMBLED UPON THIS BOOK. I'm not going to lie. If it wasn't for 'Angelfall,' I wouldn't have found & read Sanctum. I googled "Books similar to Angelfall on goodreads" (
BookNook Young Adult book reviewsOh my god, you guys!!! I did not expect this book to be so amazing. I bought this book completely on a whim. I never do that. I saw an ad for it on my Kindle screensaver, thought "That's kind of a cool cover," and bought it. Well, Sanctum blew me away.I think I'm going to burst if I don't mention the romance right away, because it was incredible. I didn't expect a great romance from a paranormal story. Usually when I want a great romance, I look towards

For paranormal romance/action, this book was 5 bright, twinkling stars! The plot was engaging, begging each page to be turned to find out the fate of all the characters and delve deeper into the world. No lulls... Every moment is pushing the action, blooming emotional attachments, or overall plot forward. The world was realistically imaginative, captivating, & yet scary as hell (literally) without being all brimstone and fire. I absolutely love an author that's able to give and show readers
The gift was helping me understand my friend and forgive her for leaving me.Sanctum by Sarah Fine is one of those unique book experiences that blends both despair and hope in equal measure to deliver a hauntingly beautiful journey. I was left floored with a gamut of emotions that I will now try to sort out in the best way possible. But first, let me state a clear and undeniable fact Fine has an amazing writing ability. And, its not only because of how easily she continued to hook me into her
3.5 STARSNot that I had a ton of experience but this was the freakiest slumber party I'd ever attended. I think I came into this book expecting something entirely different from how it turned out to be. Some turned out better but more just left me unsatisfied. The story starts with Lela and Nadia forging the unlikeliest of friendships: Lela is the school misfit who smokes, does push ups and beats up abusive foster fathers while Nadia is the school's Queen Bee. They meet in the most auspicious
Okay, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed right now.Why, you ask? Because I haven't been squealing like a schoolgirl over a YA guy in a long, long time. And Malachi simply won my heart. I was swooning all over him left, right and center. If you knew me at all, you'd know that it's really difficult for me to be swayed by guys of YA, cause they're usually the average perfect-looking bad boys who are complete and utter jerks that constantly love to tease and toy with the MC's feelings and
