REVIEW: Crown of Midnight By Sarah J. Mass



REVIEW: Crown of Midnight By Sarah J. Mass

Ratings: 5 of 5 stars

 CROWN OF MIDNIGHT is officially one of the best books I've read this year,
if not, ever.Our favorite assassin is back. And she's even more fierce, more
ruthless and just EVEN MORE BADASS. I've never met a character like Celaena
Sardothien before. She's one hell of a complicated one too. She knows she's beautiful, she's arrogant, she's smart, she's got a big obsession with books
and fashion.So basically, we'll be best friends. 

Celaena Sardothien is doing her job as King's Champion, meaning she's killing people that stepped on the king's toes(or is she?).And now she's got a new target:
Archer Finn, former crush and friend from the time when she was within the Assassin’s Guild.The stakes are higher now that Archer is a well-known figure
in Rifthold and that he might be involved in a rebel group. To make events even
more complicated, the half-Fae and long-dead Queen, Elena, is asking Celaena to
find the source behind the King's power
The world-building was exquisite! We learn so much more about Erilea, Adarlan
and the history of the country. We delve deeper into the Fae magic. It's a
top-notch high fantasy world, coupled with a darker atmosphere, mystery, magic
and amazing characters. The result is a certain recipe for epicness, one that
Sarah J. Mass gorgeously created with her mad writing skills (hats off for that).
Finally,I NEED THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES!!! How can I wait another year?? 
It's killing me!!!!

Review: Losing Hope By Colleen Hoover






Losing Hope By Colleen Hoover

Rating : 5 of 5 stars

It. Was. Perfect.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Colleen Hoover comes and just knocks it out of the park! Colleen Hoover can do no wrong in my book. I've read and loved each and every single one of her books and they were all brilliant, and Losing Hope was no exception. Hopeless was one of my favorite books of 2012 and reading the story again from Holder's POV made me exactly remember why.

This is Holder's story. You need to understand just how much I mean those words. This is HIS story. This isn't just Hopeless from Holder's POV, this is his story during Hopeless, his story before Hopeless, and his story apart from Hopeless. Okay, I will not explain the story behind this book because it’s almost the same as in the first book with a few additions here and there.But we get to see/read about two new characters, Les and Daniel.Well Les is not really new but we get to know her a little better here.

I will only say that this was already an amazing story under Hope/Sky’s POV and it was even a greater one under Holder’s. Oh, how I love his mind and the fact that he never actually loses hope.Although this book was sadder than the first with the entire Les story and the letters, it was also better and had the addition of some great characters.

Finally,I was positive that Ms. Hoover would NOT make me cry in this book like she did in Hopeless.I was so wrong. When I read Lesslie's letter to her brother it made me tear up. Big time.
If you liked the first, you really can’t miss this one so if you haven’t read it yet.
I advise you to do it fast.

Review : Legend By Marie Lu



 Legend By Marie Lu

Rating:4.5 of 5 stars

Legend by Marie Lu has officially become a legend in my mind. From the very first page I was drawn into this story. The opening sentence is "My mother thinks I'm dead." Right away I was pulled into this story of Day and his quest to heal his family from the plague. A few chapters and there was no going back.

Day,the republic's most wanted criminal, has lived a rough life growing up in the slums, and he risks his life every day to make sure his family has enough food and the other necessities needed to survive. It would be easy to become a cruel and uncaring criminal, but Day never loses his kindness and compassion. June, the Republic's greatest prodigy, has grown up in a rich district to an elite family. While she is loyal to the military and the government, her older brother Metias is the one she would do anything for. Because of their different upbringings, June doesn't have the same experiences and views of the world as Day. June isn't lacking compassion, but she is naive and ends up placing her trust with people she has always believed in, never excepting the cruelty they are capable of. They never had a reason to cross paths until the day Metias is found dead and the blame is put on Day.

The book had a nice balance of action and development and even a bit romance. I was never underwhelmed by the story. The action had me on the edge of my seat. In most books with dual points of views, I always like one of them better. I skim through the part that I didn't like until I came to the section of the character that I like. In Legend, I gobbled up every word of both points of view and loved every minute of it. I recommended it to those who love action packed dystopias, but aren't too picky about plot or characters.
Book 2 - let's see what you got!

Review: Midnight Frost By Jennifer Estep


Midnight Frost By Jennifer Estep

Ratings: 4 of 5 stars

I was so glad to get back to reading a new book in one of my the favorite series EVER! I absolutely LOVED it!
Gwen Frost is back and still fighting the good fight. She's been through hell --and is still recovering from near-death at the hands of her boyfriend. It's not easy. She can't sleep without having nightmares; she can't walk around without people staring and whispering. But she won't curl up and quit.
When one of the Reapers poisons her boss at the library, there's no doubt the search for a cure will lead to a trap.This book has very much of a questing feel to it; the characters must basically journey to the antidote location while dodging traps, acquire the antidote and then journey back. It’s a very simple plot and very predictable. If it’s the “worst and most dangerous course to take” Gwen takes that path immediately...as I said that makes thing predictable.
In this book Gwen is treated a lot better than in previous books, because of her actions in the last book she has risen to more of a celebrity type status. We learn more about Gwen’s dad in this book and the true story behind how he was killed. It adds a bit of depth to Gwen.Although the part of the book that is a bit frustrating is that in every book Gwen faces off with Vivian and Agora, and every book the baddies escape Gwen by a hair. This happens multiple times a book and I am beginning to think that our heroes will never get it together enough to actually face off and defeat Loki.
I look forward for the 6th installment in this series that has quickly become one of my top 10 favorites of all time.

Review:The Fault in Our Stars By John Green

The Fault in Our Stars By John Green

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 stars

Well, guess what - "I'm not cryyyyying! It's just been raining on my face..." This book was amazing and terrible and heart wrenching and hilarious. It was everything at once, making it that much more beautiful and difficult to read. Just thinking of the words "lit up like a Christmas tree" bring waves of emotions over me.This book is about love, friendship, fight, hope and life. And about infinites.

Hazel is a 16 year old girl with stage IV thyroid cancer, and has been living with an oxygen tank since she was first diagnosed at 12. She realizes she is going to die, but she is on a drug that is keeping the tumors at bay. At a support group meeting she meets hottie Augustus Waters, who is in remission. They immediately hit it off and change each others lives drastically.

I just loved how the author made me laugh so much. I mean, I was reading a book about kids with cancer, I wasn’t supposed to be laughing but I did. I did because those damn characters camped in my heart and they are planning to stay there forever.This is probably one of the best and most real love stories I’ve ever read in my entire life. I will never EVER forget this book.I would just like to say that you have to go out and buy this book right now. Don't even bother borrowing it from a library, because you're going to want to reread it at least thrice also keep a box of tissues with you while reading it will be a great help to you.

Review : This Girl By Colleen Hoover

This Girl (Slammed, #3)This Girl By Colleen Hoover

Rating: 5 of 5 stars(would have given more if possible)

THIS. BOOK. IS. PHENOMENAL. Books like this are the reason why I love reading. This Girl was the perfect final chapter to a magnificent series that will forever reside on my all time favorites shelf. This story was so beautifully written that I almost wanted to highlight the entire book.

Colleen Hoover has outdone herself (again). She managed to take a story that we love(Slammed) and retell it from the hero’s POV while still making every single word of it feel new, fresh and powerful.The book actually takes place after Point of Retreat and is a continuation of their story in that respect. But, a major part of the book, is Lake asking Will what his perspective was on a lot of the things they went through together, and asking him things about himself that neither she nor us (the readers) knew.

Do you need to re-read Slammed and Point of Retreat before reading this? No. But you do need to read them at least once first? For sure!This book was perfect from start to finish.

Review:Throne Of Glass By Sarah J.Mass


Throne Of Glass By Sarah J.Mass

Rating:4 of 5 stars

This book was astonishingly good.With a notorious female assassin as a main character, Thone of Glass redefines the meaning of impressive.
Celaena Sardothien is Ardalan’s greatest assassin, both beautiful and deadly but she made a mistake, she got caught and after serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes where most only live for a few months she is dragged before the Crown Prince who offers her freedom. The price? she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin and win.The determination, wit and pure strength that resonated in Celaena’s character made her instantly one of my favourite female protagonists of all time. She is not only intelligent but is also unexpectedly girly. One moment she will fawn over luscious dresses and another she can have her makeshift hairpin dagger to your throat.
With such a well-crafted set of fleshed-out characters, it was near impossible to disengage from the story. Sarah J Maas has delivered a truly captivating story with four e-novellas also available (which I am determined to read as soon as possible) I am already eagerly anticipating the sequel.

Review: Bad Girls Don't Die By Katie Alender

  Bad Girls Don't Die By Katie Alender
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first thought of this book was creepy but it is a really good read.

Alexis is a spunky teenager with pink hair who loves photography .She also has some family issues. Lately her younger sister Kasey has been acting weird and her mom and dad don't seem to be noticing anything. It's not like they would because their Mom is putting all her efforts on getting promoted and her dad is off with his friends. Alexis steps up like the older sister she is and tries to help Kasey but she starts doing things that border the crazy. Along the way Alexis finds a new friend and a love interest she couldn't have seen coming, all the while trying to figure out the mystery behind Kasey's odd behavior.
This book has a little of everything in it too. A little paranormal, a little mystery and suspense, and even a little romance.The best part of this book, hands down, was Kasey. There's something that is just terrifying about creepy little girls.
I plan to read the sequel of this book "From Bad to Cursed" very very soon.
