ok, now this was an episode of riverdale  that i can get behind. the action centers around jughead's birthday. betty, when she learns that it is coming up and that he has never had a birthday party becomes convinced that she must give jughead a party to remember. she does accomplish this goal, but in doing so, kind of causes a whole bunch of tiny explosions. her original plan for the party is to invite only the inner circle, which for some bizarre reason includes ethel. this makes zero sense since esther is a fringe as you could imagine, but whatever. these teens can't keep a secret to save their lives, so when cheryl finds out she is motivated to invite the entire school to archie's place. conveniently, archie's dad has gone out of town to deal with archie's mom and their pending divorce. archie isn't ready for his parents to sign the divorce papers, so he welcomes the kegs that show up along with cheryl and proceeds to get very drunk. a game of secr...

it's totally obvious why i keep thinking this is a vampire book, but i know it's not. dusk until dawn  continues the story of the hernández siblings. i had been lucky enough to read the arc for stroke of midnight  and i'm happy i got to do the same for this one. one of my favorite things about this series is that the lead characters that the series is built around are latino. the hernández family is cuban and are pillars of miami society. meanwhile, maya pascual is a puerto rican from el barrío. she and javi first met in school, but he was already dating his now ex-wife, and they weren't crossing any lines. until, of course, one night where maya confessed how she felt about javi. but he had just proposed and so he didn't tell her how he thought she was beautiful and funny and how the sparks between them scared the living daylights out of him because how could it be possible to maintain that kind of passion. he was supposed to lead an exempl...

i hadn't read the cities below series before  beneath the night , so i wasn't too bothered by all the exposition. though there was a lot of it. maybe this stuff wasn't covered in previous books, i don't know. but there was a moment i was like, i'm 25% into this book, when will things start happening. and okay, stuff had happened, but this is a paranormal romance. the two leads hadn't met until that moment. i am impatient. once they meet navarre and cat are intimately connected. mainly because she's been sent in to feed him, but also because it's pretty clear to everyone except cat that navarre and her are mates, and were fated to meet. i should explain that navarre and cat are both vampires, and he is the ruler of the vampire city of balinese. he's been in a healing sleep for almost seven years, and by chance one of his captains figures out that the reason he has survived this long in stasis is because cat, his soul mate is close by. cat is a g...
