Synopsis

Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

Review: Crimson Frost

Grade: 4.5 Butterflies
Name: Crimson Frost (Mythos Academy #4)
Author: Jennifer Estep
Source: My bookshelves
Publisher: K-Teen
Pages: Paperback, 354 pages

Goodreads summary

I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.

I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

     So, I love this series so much. This series is what started my love for Greek Mythology books. And I didn't know that this came out last December or else I would have already read and reviewed this book. When I got this book I was terrified to read it, because Jennifer Estep said on her blog once that this is a series that has a war in it, so people will die and I was terrified that it was going to be a character I love. Anyway, I finally just told myself to suck it up and read the book already and I am so glad I did, because this book was one of the best books in the series.

     So, the only problem in the last book was that it was really predictable and I was afraid that the series was going to start getting predictable. It seems that whenever a series has more then four books it starts to get really predictable, but I should have had more trust in Jennifer Estep, because this book was anything but predictable. There was so many twists and turns that I didn't even start to see coming and that is why this book like a rollercoster ride. One second your reading there peacefully  and then she throws in a twists that gets your heart pounding and makes you terrified for the characters. This book doesn't lack action at all.

    What really made me love this series was the characters, how their so well written and how they feel so real. And every time I read the newest book in this series I love the characters more and more, because they have great character development and they always change for the better. So, the characters in this book are they best they have ever been in the series.

     My favorite character in this whole series is Gwen. I love how brave she is and how she's willing to die to save everyone. She is one of my all time favorite characters I have ever read. If you read this series you will understand.

     All in all, this is a really short review, because I have nothing else to say besides that this is another fantastic instalment in a outstanding series. And I would recommend this series to everyone, even if you don't like Greek mythology this series will make you love Greek mythology.

This book got...

4.5 Butterflies

Beautiful, this is a great book.

Goodreads summary

Jodi Marshall isn’t sure how she went from normal teenager to walking disaster. One minute she’s in her junior year of high school, spending time with her amazing boyfriend and her best friend. The next she’s being stalked by some guy no one seems to know.

After the stranger, Alex, reveals himself, Jodi learns he’s not a normal teenager and neither is she. With a kiss that kills and a touch that brings the dead back to life, Jodi discovers she’s part of a branch of necromancers born under the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus. A branch of necromancers that are descendents of Medusa. A branch of necromancers with poisoned blood writhing in their veins.

Jodi’s deadly to the living and even more deadly to the deceased. She has to leave her old, normal life behind before she hurts the people she loves. As if that isn’t difficult enough, Jodi discovers she’s the chosen one who has to save the rest of her kind from perishing at the hands of Hades. If she can’t figure out how to control her power, history will repeat itself, and her race will become extinct.

    So, I have wanted to read this book since before it came out. However, when it came out I started seeing very bad reviews about it so I didn't read it right away, but I still wanted to read it. So, finally last week I got the book on my Nook and I started reading it. My overall impression of it reminded me of a rollercoaster, not because my emotions where everywhere, but because it kept being bad, then started to get good, but wait.....it's still bad.

     The beginning of this book was awful and the only reason I kept reading was because the concept of the plot was pretty good. Then it starting getting better and I started to really like it, but then it turned sour again.

     So, like I was saying the beginning of this book had a lot of problems (so many problems). The first of which was that the summary of the book revealed so much of the plot. I've heard people complaining about how they hate it when the summary reveals to much, but I've never read a book where that happened before this one. The summary revealed the plot for the first 100 pages, that is almost half the book. I'm sitting there saying "okay I know this, can we move on".  The beginning would have been so much better if I didn't know everything already from the summary.

     Another problem was how forced the plot felt in the beginning. Some things would happen to move the plot along that I felt would never happen in really life. Like, come on, a squirrel is going to run right under your feet right when you drop your hammer? That doesn't happen in real life. However, as the plot regressed it started feeling more and more natural.

     Also, in the beginning the characters felt like plastic. They had no depth to them at all; it was like they were just there and nothing more. And they felt so distant; I felt no connection to any of them at all, not one single character.

    The main character was the worst character in the whole book. She was so passive. I like characters that fight their own battles and think for themselves, but Jodi wasn't like that all. It's like someone tells her what to do and shes like, "Well I don't like it, but I'll do it anyway". It just annoyed me to no end.

     However, when I got to the middle of this book everything got better and all the problems went away. I didn't know what was going to happen and I couldn't guess what was going to happen. The characters started to get depth to them and I started to feel a connection with the characters. Jodi started thinking for herself. The plot flowed naturally and I started to really love this book, but then it all came rushing back.

    I don't know what happened, but I figured out what was going to happen in the end way before Jodi did and there is nothing more annoying then knowing what is going to happen when the main character is clueless. And Jodi went back to her doesn't-think-for-herself-passive-self, but this time she added hypocritical to the list of how I described her. The plot went back to feeling forced. It was like all the bad things in this book went on break in the middle and came back because they were feeling guilty that they were neglecting there work.

     With all that said you are probably wondering why I kept reading this. Well, I kept reading, because the concept of the plot was great. I knew it was a zombie book when I started reading this, but its not a zombie book where everyone gets infected and people have to survive the virus. That was my fear before reading this, I don't like those books at all, but gladly this book wasn't like that. However, this book was also an Greek Mythology book and I am a sucker for those books. I love them so much.

     I will look out for more books from this author, because her writing style was good and you can tell that she loves writing from this book. I just won't read the rest of this series. Even though when I finished this book I was in the I-would-read-the-next-book-but-I wouldn't-go-out-and-buy-it category, but then I read that the next book is all about a love triangle. I mean the summary makes it seem like the whole plot is based off a love triangle.

     All in all, even though it had a lot of problems the concept of the plot was good enough for me to keep reading, even though in the end I really didn't like this book. It has so many problems and I wouldn't recommend it. Which is sad, because you can feel the authors love for writing though this book.

This book got...

Q: We always talk about books that WE want. Let's turn it on its head. What books have you given other people lately?


     So,  the reason I started this blog was to talk about books, because I don't know anyone who likes books like I do. Sure there's my mom, but she's so busy now a days that she doesn't have time to read. So, because of that I haven't given someone a book in a while. I recommended books to people, but I haven't given a book to a person in a long time. I think the closest I got to giving a book was when I let my mom borrow my copy of Delirium by Lauren Oliver last summer. She really liked it, but she dropped it and now there's a crease on the front.

Review: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Grade: 4 Butterflies
Name: The Statistical Probaility of Love at First Sight
Author: Jennifer E. Smith
Source: My Bookshelf
Publisher: Poppy/Little Brown
Pages: Hardcover, 236 pages

Goodreads summary

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

    The first thing I want to say is that this book was great and way better then I thought it would be going in. I don't often give more then 3 Butterflies to a light, fun contemporary book, mainly because those kinds of books just don't have enough depth in them to make me feel like they deserve more then 3 Butterflies. However, when I finished this book I was in shock on how well Jennifer E. Smith wrote this book. It still had enough lightness in it so it didn't feel like deep emotional book, but at the same time she put enough depth in it so it didn't just feel like fluff.

    The plot in this book quickly grabs your attention and never lets it go. One of the reasons on why that is, is because the author makes a emotional connection between you and Hadley. You keep reading because you want to see her meet her dad, you want to see what she will say to her dad, you want to see what he'll say to her, you want to know if she'll forgive him. You need to know these things.

    Another reason I really liked the plot was it wasn't mainly a love story. There was still a love story, but I thought going into this book that it will be fully about the love story and the conflict with her family would be like a second thought from the author to make it seem more real. It wasn't like that, but I don't want to say that the love story was second to her family's conflict, because it wasn't like that either. Both Hadley's family issues and the love story were equally necessary to the plot and for the theme. I really liked that and was impressed that the author was able to do that so well.

     The thing that I was most scared about before reading this book was that the romance would be insta-love and cheesy and that would ruin the whole book for me. I am so happy to say that the romance wasn't like that one bit. There was no Insta-love and while there was some cheesy things said, it wasn't overly cheesy. And the author wrote their relationship so well that I could feel the connection between them. And I love how in this book it never developed into love, their connection developed into the possibility of love, but nothing more.  If the author wrote it where the connection did move on to love in the end of the story I would have rolled my eyes and this book would have got 3 Butterflies or lower.

    So, the characters in this book were nothing really special, but I didn't care, because they where written so well that they felt like real people. And if they were extraordinary characters then it would have thrown the whole book off balance, because the theme of this book is that anybody can meet their soul mates at any given time and if the characters weren't like average people then that wouldn't have felt real.

     So, throughout this whole review I've been saying how great of an author Jennifer E. Smith is and its completely true. She somehow maneged to write a book about falling in love at first sight without the annoying insta-love. She also maneged to write a light fun book with just enough depth in it to still seem like a light, fun book, but not make it seem like fluff. And in some places when she was writing Hadley's thoughts on a matter it literally sounded like poetry, without it being annoying. Jennifer E. Smith is now on my top ten favorite authors list.

    Overall, this book was so much better then I thought it would be. It was the perfect blend between a light fun book and a deep serious book. Everything about this book was great, the only thing I wish was that she would write sequel about Hadley and Oliver's story, because I want to know what happens to them. So, I highly recommend this book to every who hasn't read it yet, because its a great story.

This book got....

Altered by Jennifer Rush.

Everything about Anna’s life is a secret. Her father works for the Branch at the helm of its latest project: monitoring and administering treatments to the four genetically altered boys in the lab below their farmhouse. There’s Nick, Cas, Trev . . . and Sam, who’s stolen Anna’s heart. When the Branch decides it’s time to take the boys, Sam stages an escape, killing the agents sent to retrieve them.

Anna is torn between following Sam or staying behind in the safety of her everyday life. But her father pushes her to flee, making Sam promise to keep her away from the Branch, at all costs. There’s just one problem. Sam and the boys don’t remember anything before living in the lab—not even their true identities.

Now on the run, Anna soon discovers that she and Sam are connected in more ways than either of them expected. And if they’re both going to survive, they must piece together the clues of their past before the Branch catches up to them and steals it all away

Poison by Bridget Zinn

 

Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.

But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart . . . misses.

Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?

 

Uglies by Scott Weserfeld.

Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

February 19: Top Ten Favorite Characters In X Genre

this was a very hard one to do, not just to find the characters, but to find the genre. So, I end up picking a very broad genre, basically because I didn't have enough books from on certain genre to get ten characters. The genre I picked was Paranormal books.

 

1. Gwen from the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep.
Gwen is so brave, smart, such a nice person and so selfless. When she was on trail for her life she wasn't thinking about clearing her name, no she was trying to find out what the reapers plan was and stop it so no one dies. Who doesn't admire that?

2. Logan from the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep.
Logan is just awesome. He's a great fighter and he would die to save his friends. I mean, who wouldn't like him?

3. Katy from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
I really like Katy, because she is so ratable. She not a character that's perfect and powerful, no she is the kind of heroine that you could see a real person being like.

4. Gin from the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep.
Gin is the person I want to be, not a bloodthirsty assassin, but a person that doesn't let themselves be played by a another person. And doesn't take crap from anyone. And never gives up, even when shes buried under a mountain.

5. Nastasya from the Immortal Beloved series by Cate Tiernan.
This character has been though so much in her life, but she's able to get past that and forgive a person that I would never forgive and she's a character that never gives up.

6. Alex form the Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Alex is another strong character that whenever she falls down she gets right back up.

7. Alyssa from Splintered by A. G. Howard.
I love how Alyssa was normal, but also had a wild crazy side that she doesn't really know about. And she's a great character to read.

8. Violet Ambrose from the Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting.
Violet is such a strong character and shes willing to risk her life to save a total strange from killers time and time again, and I really admire that.

9. Magdalen from Shifting by Bethany Higgins.
I don't really have much to say about this character besides I really like and admire her.

10. Sophie Mercer from the Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins.
Sophie has so much snark in her. She can't go ten minutes without saying a sarcastic remark. And she is just such a funny character.

Those are my picks, what are yours?

Happy reading
