Goodreads Summary:

An action-packed and suspenseful sequel to The Witch Hunter, perfect for fans of Graceling and the Grisha Trilogy.

"I think, in time, you'll either be my greatest mistake or my greatest victory."

Former witch hunter Elizabeth Grey is hiding within the magically protected village of Harrow, evading the price put on her head by Lord Blackwell, the usurper king of Anglia. Their last encounter left Blackwell ruined, but his thirst for power grows stronger every day. He's readying for a war against those who would resist his rule--namely Elizabeth and the witches and wizards she now calls her allies.

Having lost her stigma, a magical source of protection and healing, Elizabeth's strength is tested both physically and emotionally. War always means sacrifice, and as the lines between good and evil blur once more, Elizabeth must decide just how far she'll go to save those she loves.

A bunch of thanks to Jess, Hachette Canada, Simon&Schuster Canada and Kim Culbertson for these pretties! I can't wait to read them all!!

What’s your name?

Hello, my name is Eileen~

Where in the world are you blogging from?

I'm in Vancouver aka Raincouver, Canada.

How did you get into blogging in the first place?

I've always enjoyed reading and when I discovered book blogs, I was fascinated by the community. It's a place where I can share my thoughts and opinions of books with other book lovers. A place where I can fangirl and vent with others! I'm so glad I decided to join this community because it's been an awesome experience!

How did you come up with your blog name?

When I wanted to start a book blog, I brainstormed a couple names. I really wanted to incorporate my cat so I thought, why not a bookcat? There are already plenty of bookworms out there afterall ;) And to put in a personal touch, I added Pin at the end because it's my nickname. So that's why I'm BookCatPin!

What genre do you read and review the most on your blog?

I read mostly Young Adult and the occasional New Adult. I have also enjoyed a couple Adult books so I'm looking forward to maybe reading more.

 

Best blogging experience so far?

Meeting amazing people who I am now so proud to call my friends :D

Favorite thing about the blogging community?

The love we all share for books and bookish things!

Name the 5 books you’re most excited for this 2016!

 

Which book boy or girl would be your book BFF?

Right now, it's Miss Evelyn Wyndham from These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas because she's got the greatest sense of humour! The perfect blend of snarky and witty XP

Apart from reading, what are your other hobbies or interests?

I love going to the movies or just snuggling on the couch to watch movies and tv shows.

Apart from book shopping, what else do you like shopping for?

Uhhh just books.......

Author you want to meet and sit down to tea with?

I'm a huge fan of the Shadowhunters books by Cassandra Clare so definitely Cassie! Also Victoria Schwab because she's simply brilliant!
