Finding a good book to read

I want to read a good book, not an alright book or an over hyped book that will get better by page 200. I want to find a good that I can absorb myself in like I used to. I was looking and I haven't really read a good book that I gave a 5 star to in years.

I feel as though books have lost their originality especially in the dystopian genre and also I have become lazy. If I want a book I usually read or watch book reviews done by others but the thing is now a lot of publishing companies send their books for free to these people so I don't know if their reviews are even honest. Like some people for years are churning out 4 or 5 reviews a week. And I am like how in the world can you read so much.

So this time I want to try something different, maybe actually read what the book is about and make my judgement on that instead of other peoples opinions. Who knows many great books I passed up because of a bad review.

Okay, but where do I get the books..... There are so many books and so many charts that it's very easy to miss good books. There is amazon and goodreads so I will look at those and see what I can find.

What am I looking for?  I want romance with a fantasy/ supernatural/ dystopian element to it probably not vampires. But somewhere around there. I would like to read something in a different world.
