But when a glimmer of hope is introduced to her by a prisoner she tends to, it means life or death for her and her people. She does all that she can to turn that hope into reality, and finally end the vicious war that has been ensuing since she was born. Even if that means keeping it secret from her King. Even if it means carrying out the biggest betrayal against the King ever seen during her time.
She has hope. She will fulfill her duty. She will not let her people down.
My Review:
I am so thankful that someone recommended this book, because I fell in love with this book! Bailey, has that magical touch, where you can connect to the characters, and feel what they are feeling. Sweet Oblivion is told in different POV’s, you have Nari and Namine…….
Nari thought she was a normal teenager, just trying to get thru high school, she has only one good friend, Rydan. Nari, and Rydan, have a very unique friendship. Rydan, how can you not love him? He is a terrific musician, and a total sweetheart. All of sudden Mycah comes into the picture. The mysterious Mycah, okay okay….I love Mycah too! I can’t choose between Team Mycah or Team Rydan, so how about Team HOT GUYS! *nods* Yep, sounds good to me.
It was a little hard finding things that I didn’t like, I only found two. One being Nari’s stepdad! He is rude, and deserves to be unhappy, forever! And the other thing, was the ending. The major CLIFFHANGER!!!!! Book 2 could not come soon enough!
I HIGHLY recommend that everyone reads Sweet Oblivion! You will not regret it! One more thing, I am so happy that after I read this book, because I met some awesome people! Not only am I fan of Bailey, but I also get to call her my friend! Love my sweeties!!!

Sometimes the hardest war to fight is the one raging within yourself...
Life will never be the same for Nariella Woodlinn. Just when she thought she had it all figured out, her world comes crumbling down around her-yet again. With no idea who she is or even where she came from, how can she save herself?
She once thought her biggest problems were the ones brought on by the mysterious man she refused to fall in love with--Mycah. But she quickly discovers none of that compares to what she is about to encounter next.

As the war rages on around her, Naminé gets thrown into the lion's den--the false King's chambers. Can she fool a King who can't be deceived on his playing field? Forced to do his bidding, can she prevent the downfall of the only hope she worked so hard to bring home? Will she be able to escape with her life and mind intact?
With everyone's world falling apart and deceit around every corner...can any of them truly Escape?
My Review:
So, if you have read Sweet Oblivion, you know that Nari and Mycah love each other, but Nari’s life will never be the same again. I couldn’t wait to read Sweet Escape, and I ended up finishing it in one day. Boy, oh boy, did this break my heart!!! And I mean, it totally ripped my heart out, stomped on it, over and over!
Again, Bailey brings her magical touch. You can feel Nari’s pain, it’s like you are actually seeing through Nari’s eyes. This poor girl, her world has just been turned upside down, and she has to figure out things on her own. But her love for Mycah, will never fade. I LOVE Mycah, but he made me so mad, I just wanted to slap him, okay…several times I wanted to slap him. I understand, why Mycah did what he did, but STILL!!!!!! There was one part in the book, that I just did not understand, why Mycah did what he did!!! Once you read the book, you will understand what I am saying.
Even, though my heart was breaking for Nari, I couldn’t help to cheer for Rydan! And Namine too! Hehehehe! Oh, did I forget to mention…there is one scene, that you will praise Bailey for! SWOON! SWOON! SWOON!!!!!!!!
Of course, there is another cliffhanger! And it’s a big one!!!!
Bravo, Bailey for writing another fantastic book!!!

Sweet Requiem (Sweet Series #3)
Genre: New Adult Fantasy/Romance
Description:
Returning to Kennebunkport, Maine, isn't all that it's cracked up to be for Nari and Rydan. Barely escaping one evil by the skin of their teeth, running head first into the next was the last thing they were expecting. With Nari's best friend Zaylie held hostage by the leader of the Black Eagles, Nari's number one priority is getting Zaylie, along with everyone else she cares about, out of Nikolai's clutches safe and sound. Only, the worst thing that could possibly happen has happened--Death.
Before Nari can even comprehend her worst nightmare coming true, she is pulled back into the very place she had thought she escaped. But the nightmare doesn't end there. Just as she sees a silver-lining to her otherwise gloomy cloud, she discovers heart-wrenching news and has to yet again escape an untimely death.
With the hope of undoing what would normally be permanent, Nari, with the help of the two brothers she loves most in the world, sets her mind on a mission that will ultimately mean her downfall. Is the end result worth the sacrifice?
~
Naminé is left in the Earthly realm to tend to an injured Ender and Fëa. She must learn to cope with the new human elements thrown her way, but in the process, discovers something may be terribly wrong with her family back home - the one place she can no longer get to.
Continue the journey that started it all. Mycah, Rydan, Nari, and Naminé are determined to take back the throne. Except, that which starts sweet, ends bitter...
My Review:
Sweet Requiem, sorta picks up where Sweet Escape ended. At this point we are uncertain what is going to happen to Nari, Mycah, Rydan and Namine.
So….I thought book 2 broke my heart, but I think this one, surely did it! I can’t count how many times I cried while reading Sweet Requiem. After I finished reading this book, I wanted to have a face to face conversation, with Bailey. Just to get some answers, such as WHY?!?!
While Mycah is trying to take back is kingdom, Nari is sent back to Kennebunkport in order to save her friend Zaylie…….here comes the tears! Even though, I was still upset with Mycah, because of what he did in Sweet Escape, you finally get to see part of what makes Mycah, Mycah. You can’t help but to feel bad for him!
It took me only a few hours to finish Sweet Requiem, I just could not put my Kindle down! Several times I paced, back and worth, on the edge of my seat with anxiety!
Congrats Bailey, on another book, that shook my world! <3 No doubt that the Sweet Series, is going in my top 5 favorite book series!!!!
*taps fingers* Can I have book 4 NOW, Please?!?!?!
P.S. Bailey, I am so proud of you!!!!!! <3
