                   Goodreads summary

I died on a Thursday-killed by a monster intent on stealing my soul. The good news? He didn't get it. The bad news? Turns out not even death will get you out of highschool...                                   Covering up her own murder was one thing, but faking life is much harder than Kaylee Cavanaugh expected. After weeks spent "recovering," she's back in school, fighting to stay visible to the human world, struggling to fit in with her friends and planning time alone with her new reaper boyfriend. But to earn her keep in the human world, Kaylee must reclaim stolen souls, and when her first assignment brings her face-to-face with an old foe, she knows the game has changed. Her immortal status won't keep her safe. And this time Kaylee isn't just gambling with her own life....
                           



                                 My thoughts


Story:
   This book blew me away, for many reasons. First of all this book was really fast paced. The action literally started on page 3 and it never stops. That was just one of the things that made this book incredible.
    Another good thing was the suspense. This book kept you on your toes though out the whole thing. And it wasn't like some books where you can predict the big surprises of the book, but not the smaller surprises. No, this book is nothing like that. You can't even begin to guess what happens in this book. Even half-way though the book you still don't know what's going to happen. And I really love books like that.
     I want to warn you before you start this book, because so many people die in this book. By the end of this book, at least five people died. It's not like the other books in this series where you don't know the people who die. No, you know and love some of the characters who die in this book. So be prepared to say goodbye to some characters.
    However, the one thing that slightly annoyed me in this book was the relationship between Kaylee and Tod. Its not like I like them together, I'm team Tod all the way. It just I wish there was more interaction between those two in the last book. Because, when you start this book, they've been dating for a month and are in a series relationship. It just took a while for me to get used to that serious relationship.
    Other than that, this story/plot was really captivating.

Characters:
    It made me so happy to read these characters again. They are all so wonderful in their own separate ways.
    Their wasn't much character development as far I could tell. Except at the way end, where Kaylee is like "You want a war, I'll give you a war!". However, that didn't bother me as much as it usually does, because I like the characters the way they are (except Nash, he just needs to wake up already!) 
     All in all, the characters in this book are wonderful.


Writing:
     Rachel Vincent is an amazing writer. I love her writing style, it's just really awesome. She is  fearless with her writing. She is not afraid to kill off characters in her books, or torture her characters, and that is one of the reasons I am so captivated with her books.
     She also has such a clear tone through out all her books, especially with her characters. Their wasn't a time in this whole series, let alone this whole book, that I didn't connect with and relate to, these characters. And that takes a lot of skill.
     All in all, Rachel Vincent is an amazing writer.

Ending:
     The ending was awesome!!!!!!!! I was blown away by it. It took me awhile to process the whole thing. It was really amazing.
     Besides the questions getting answered and all that, it was kind of like the rest of the book. What I mean by that is, the ending was fast paced, suspenseful and someone died, but that could describe the rest of the book too. I'm not saying I didn't like the ending, I did, I'm just saying in those three aspects it was like the rest of the book. 
     All in all, this was a really great ending.

                                  **************************
Overall:
     This book blew me away. The story was captivating, The characters where wonderful, The writing was amazing, and the ending was really great. I would reccomend this book to any one who likes fantasy, romance, and has read the rest of the Soul Screamers series!

                                 **************************

There are many books I want, but just have not gotten around to buying them yet. So, here are the top five books I would want Santa to give me.


Pandemonium ( Delirium #2) by Lauren Oliver.
I need to know what happens next in this series.

Divergent by Veronica Roth




Grade: 5 Butterflies
Name: Divergent
Series: the Divergent series
Author: Veronica Roth
Released: 5/3/2011
Publisher: Harpercollins
Page Amount: 576

                         Goodreads summary




In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.






         Background

      I was really late reading this book. I heard so many people raving and obsessing over this book, but it took me awhile to read the summary. When I did it was so vague that I didn't buy the book. However a little while ago I saw a review that shed some light on what is was about. So, after reading the review, I needed, NEEDED to get this book. And so, finally I did, and I was hooked from page one. It was that good.
       In this world there are five factions; the selfless, the honest, the peaceful, the brave, and the intelligent. When you turn sixteen you have to go to the choosing ceremony. The choosing ceremony is where you choose what faction you will live in the rest of your life.
      This story is about a girl named Beatrice living with the consequences of the choice she made. That is all I can really tell you without giving the plot away.


                   My thoughts


Story: 
   The first couple of chapters in this book make you think it's like every other dystopian novel out there. However, as the story goes on it becomes more and more unique. I loved the plot line in this book. It was really fast paced, and it had a lot of twists and turns I did not see coming. However, there where some twists that were very predictable, like who Four was. Come on, I can't be the only one who figured that out.
   One thing I have mixed emotions about is the relationship between Tris ( or Beatrice) and Four. What I mean is, the relationship felt like it was off to the side almost. What I mean by that, is so many dystopian books are about forbidden love or fighting for love, and this book was about neither of them. I felt sad and happy about that. I was sad because I like books where the characters are fighting for love, but at the same time it made the story so much more original.  All in all, this is an awesome first book in a series.


Characters:
      The characters in this book where really awesome. The character development for almost all of the characters ( even the sub characters) was really awesome. Tris was raised to basically hide her true personality, but as the story goes on she reveals more of her personality, which was really great to read. However there where some times ( not a lot of times) that I felt disconnected to her character, but other than that Tris was a really great character. All the other characters in this book where great to read too. All in all, the characters in this book where wonderful.


Writing:
       Mrs. Roth is now one of my favorite authors. The writing in this book was one of the best I have read in a long time!! She explained everything in such a clear voice. I was never confused on the stuff I wasn't supposed to be confused on, which is really hard to do in dystopian novels. All in all, Veronica Roth is one of the best authors I have read.


Ending:
      This ending left my head spinning and my eyes watering. It took me awhile to process the whole thing. Now I need, NEED the next book in the series! I need it NOW!  All in all, it was an awesome ending that sets up the second book great.
                                
                                   
                                    ***********************
Overall:
        It was a really awesome book with awesome characters, fantastic story line, great writing, and an ending that left my head spinning.

     I am back!!!! I am back!!!! I am back!!! Hello again my lovely computer. Hello again internet. Its been a long and wonderful vactation.
    It was a really great vacation. My family and I went canoeing, fishing , swimming, and more fishing. I did a lot of reading on vacation. So a lot of book reviews coming soon.








Grade:  5 Butterflies
Name: Sweet Evil
Series: The Sweet Trilogy
Author: Wendy Higgins
Released: May 1, 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Page Amount: 464
                    

                       Goodreads summary

Embrace the Forbidden

What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?

This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.

Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She’s aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?


                                                 *******************************


                My thoughts


Story:
This story was pure awesomeness! I loved how dark it was. This story puts such a twist to angel mythology. I devoured every word in this book. It is such a fast paced book. However it started to get a little slow towards the end of the book, but I was so captivated with the story I didn't care. Although, towards the end I got annoyed with the on and off again relationship between Anna and Kaiden. You can either have her or not, make up your mind Kaidan.


Characters:
I loved all the characters in this book, even the sub characters. There was a great amount of character development in this book. For example, at the beginning of this book the main character Anna was such a goody girl. She had high morals and she never and I mean NEVER did anything bad. However, as the book goes on she gets more and more of an edge, but she never loses sight of her morals and her sense of right and wrong. And I loved that about her. The other characters didn't have as much development as Anna, but they still had a decent amount.


Writing:
The writing in this book was fonamanal. Wendy Higgins is such a talented author, especially for a first time author. Wendy Higgins sets up a wonderful first book in a series. I was never confused with the angel mythology or anything else. Her writing style is wonderful.


Ending:
The ending was a good ending, but at the same time it felt dissatisfying. What I mean by that is, the climax was exciting and biting-your-nails suspenseful, but there was about 10 or so pages after the climax. So, you kind of forget the climax when you finish the book. What I mean by that is, you forget the suspense of the climax. I like it when you finish a book with your heart punnding or your eyes watering. And this book didn’t leave with either of them. Don't get me wrong it was a good ending, but just not the best.


                            *************************

Overall:
This was an awesome book and an awesome start of hopefully an awesome trilogy. It was a fantastic plot line, it had awesome characters, wonderful writing, and a good ending.

Still On My Mind (3)




What "Still On My Mind" is about, is I am going to tell you a book I read a while ago, but I still think about constantly. I will also explain why it is still on my mind.
Still On My Mind happens every Thursday, and was originated by YA-Aholic. If you wish to join in, please check the requirements here.


The book that is still on my mind is Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins.

  Goodreads summary

Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.



             Why this is still on my mind.


     This is still on my mind because I loved everything about it. I loved the characters, the plot line, the writing, and especially the magic in it. I love any book that has magic in it. And this book had a lot of it.

     The characters in it where just plain awesome. Sophie was a girl who stuck up for herself and the ones she loved. Archer was just.....wow. He was charming, mysterious, and all around perfect.
     The plot was predictable but not too predictable where you were never sitting on the edge of your seat. I sat on the edge of my seat many times when I was reading this book.
     The writing in this book was phenomenal. She is an amazing writer. I love all of her books.







That is the book that is still on my mind.
What is still on your mind??

Can't Wait Wednesday (4)


Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly theme that I made. It was inspired by "Waiting On Wednesday" over at Breaking The Spine. Basically what "Can't Wait Wednesday" is about, is that I showcase a book that I can't wait to be released. I also showcase a book that is already released, but I can't wait to read.









This weeks book to be released is Throne of glass by Sarah J. Maas.

Released date: August 7th 2012
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Children’s


Goodreads summary
After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.


                                        ****************************** 

          I love books where the main character is an assassin. ( Which is why I have been dying to read Grave Mercy.) I don't know why I just love them. I also love books that have court life in them. So it is not a shock that I am dying to read this book. It looks so good, and Celaena seems like an awesome heroine. All in all this looks like an awesome book.







The book that is already released is Destiny's Fire by TrishaWolfe.


Released: January 10th 2012
Publisher: Omnific Publishing
                                            Goodreads summary

It’s the year 2040, and sixteen-year-old Dez Harkly is one of the last of her kind—part of a nearly extinct race of shape-shifters descended from guardians to the Egyptian pharaohs. Her home and her secret are threatened when the Council lowers the barrier, allowing the enemy race to enter the Shythe haven.

As the Narcolym airships approach, Dez and her friends rebel against their Council and secretly train for battle. Not only is Dez wary of war and her growing affection for her best friend Jace, but she fears the change her birthday will bring. When Dez’s newfound power rockets out of control, it’s a Narcolym who could change her fate... if she can trust him.

Dez’s guarded world crumbles when she discovers why the Narcos have really come to Haven Falls, and she's forced to choose between the race who raised her and the enemy she's feared her whole life.



                                          ******************************
         This looks like it might be a Steampunk novel. And I am starting to really like thoses type of books. it just looks really, really good. I don't know what else to say, it just looks really good. I don't know why, it just does.










That is all,
what are you waiting for this week???

" And I love you" He smiles, His lips seeking mine. "Always have. Always will" From Evermore by Alyson Noel.


" I love you" I whispered, fisting my hands against his stomach. "You can't leave. You swore you wouldn't."
His hands came to rest over mine, twining our fingers together. "Even if the world stands against you" He murmured, bowing his head. "I Promise." from The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa.


" He laughed sofly, as if the very idea thrilled him. "Better get used to this face, your majestly. I plan to be here a long, long time. Probably forever."  From The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa.



" What do you want with me?" I said
"For starters?" His voice lowered to sexy, dangerous depths. " I want to introduce myself to every freckle on you body."  From Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

Now, as she works with an eclectic group of individuals—including mysterious and dangerously attractive Rafe—it’s Violet’s job to help those who have been murdered by bringing their killers to justice.

When Violet discovers the body of a college girl killed by “the girlfriend collector” she is determined to solve the case. But now the serial killer is on the lookout for a new “relationship” and Violet may have caught his eye....

I have read the first two in this series, and they were just fantastic. I cannot wait to see what happens to Violet and the rest of the characters. Kimberly Derting is one of the best authors I have read so far. I need this book now!!! However I can't buy this book yet because it is not released in paperback yet. So every time I go to Barnes & Noble I have to walk right past it and not buy it. Grrrrrr.



So that is what I am waiting on this week.
What are you waiting on????

Forbidden by Syrie James & Ryan M. James






Grade: 3 Butterflies
Name: Forbidden ( The Forbidden series #1)
Series: The Forbidden series
Author: Syrie James & Ryan M. James
Released: January 24 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Page Amount: 412

                            Goodreads summary

 She should not exist.

He should not love her.

Claire Brennan has been attending Emerson Academy for two years now (the longest she and her mom have remained anywhere) and she's desperate to stay put for the rest of high school. So there's no way she's going to tell her mom about the psychic visions she's been having or the creepy warnings that she's in danger.
 Alec MacKenzie is fed up with his duties to watch and, when necessary, eliminate the descendants of his angelic forefathers. He chose Emerson as the ideal hiding place where he could be normal for once. He hadn't factored Claire into his plans. . . .
Their love is forbidden, going against everything Alec has been taught to believe. But when the reason behind Claire's unusual powers is revealed and the threat to her life becomes clear, how far will Alec go to protect her?


                                    My Thoughts

I went into this book with high expectations, because I read so many raving reviews on this book. I don't like doing that because the book goes into two categories.
1.      The book is below my expectations and/or it was total disappointment.
2.      The book ( and this is rare ) meets my expectations and\or it is better than my expectations.
And I am sad to this book went into the first category. This is why...

Story,
This story intrigued me when I first read the summary. I love angel books, but to have a good angel book you need it to have some originality in it. This story did have originality, but at the same time it did.......not. It's not as original as some of the other angel books I have read (like Courtney Allison Moulton Angelfire series.), but it has enough so it’s not like all the other angel books. The story is told in the POV of both Claire and Alec. This book was kind of predictable. What that guy did at the end of the book was not really a shocker to me. I knew that would happen, about 40 pages before it did happen. However, the rest of the twists were a complete shock to me, but other than that, it was a very enjoyable story.

Characters,
The characters were decent but distant. I could not connect with any of them most of the time. I also could not connect with the relationship between Claire and Alec. It was so unrealistic. They knew each other for about two weeks and were madly in love with each other. That does not happen.
Spoiler alert. And when Alec left her and she was supposed to be devested, it didn't feel like she was. You’re supposed to love the guy and four days after he leaves you, your almost okay again?
Spoiler Alert over. The whole relationship was not realistic. Another example is when that guy betrays the other guy (I know it is really vague, but I am trying to keep the spoiler alerts to a minimum.) I did not feel the betrayal, he just did it. The characters weren't unlikable or anything, you just couldn't connect with them. Anyway, there was a decent amount of character development in this book.


Writing,
The writing was okay. Nothing really special I am sad to say, but nothing really awful. I never got confused when they were explaining everything. This is really nice when you read angel books because you don’t have to stop reading to Google anything. However, I did not like the way they wrote the characters. As I said before, the characters were really distant. I think if they wrote the characters a little different the book would have been really good.



Ending,
The ending was a little of a dissapointment. I kept thinking that the ending would be this huge fight scene. Even though there was a fight scene, it was not as big as I thought it would be. Also I like books that end with a bang, but this one really didn't. However, it was still a good ending to a book.

                                    

 

Overall:
Even though I ranted a lot in this review, it was a pretty good book, with a good story, alright characters, average writing, and a decent ending. I would recommend this book if you are bored and in need of a book.
