Shadow and Bone: Leigh Bardugo

Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.
(Goodreads)

So let me begin by saying that I technically started this review THREE years ago.... And I never finished it because I couldn't remember the book as clearly as I wanted to.
So here I am in 2019, rereading all of Bardugo's books because of King of Scars.

Sooo lets get started.
When I first read this way back when, I honestly did not like Mal. Like AT ALL. I found him annoying and bland and just, I was so frustrated with Alina for liking him. When the Darkling was literally RIGHT THERE. Since rereading the book, Mal isn't that bad, he's not perfect. And I like that.
Considering this is Bardugo's first book, it is incredibly well written the way she created this world. The way she describes it, how immersive it is, without being over bearing.
Honestly the book starts off slow, the book has a lot of information to get there so at times it feels a bit dense, but the plot flows so well.
We see Alina grow and honestly face a lot of things in a short amount of time. Everything regarding the Darkling is just so perfectly execute. It doesn't seem fake, it's realistically done.
And Bardugo just has a way of writing that truly captures the audience with her dark and amazing characters.
Honestly this "review" is a mess... But I'm trying
Anyways!
Until next time readers <3

Between the Lines: Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer

Delilah is a bit of a loner who prefers spending her time in the school library with her head in a book—one book in particular. Between the Lines may be a fairy tale, but it feels real. Prince Oliver is brave, adventurous, and loving. He really speaks to Delilah.
And then one day Oliver actually speaks to her. Turns out, Oliver is more than a one-dimensional storybook prince. He’s a restless teen who feels trapped by his literary existence and hates that his entire life is predetermined. He’s sure there’s more for him out there in the real world, and Delilah might just be his key to freedom.
A romantic and charming story, this companion novel to Off the Page will make every reader believe in the fantastical power of fairy tales.
(Goodreads)

 I loved this book even though it took me forever to read becasue I kept getting distracted. I found this such a unique story! The concept of the book being a sort of play and the characters are the actors? Absolutely wonderful, made me think that maybe the book characters in certain books aren't suffering nearly as much I'm looking at you A Court of Mist and Fury.. And Empire of Storms, literally killed me. I've only read one book that was similar to this and that was the Vampire Stalker by Allison Van Diepen, and the characters just leave the book.. 
Anyways I found this book so flipping cute!! Maybe William Herondale will come for me! Please? Book boyfriend come to life? Oliver was just so fun with his will to live a life outside of their "script." His love for Delilah was just so cute and adorable.
Seriously my favorite part of Between the Lines was Oliver's desire to leave the book be with Delilah. And every time it didn't work out it just made me cheer them on more!
I really did like the story line, it was just so sweet how many times have I said that now? and adorable. 
I think the only problem I had with this book was the ending because Oliver obviously made it out I mean come on, it has to have a happily ever after they kiss and that's the end... But! I found out today that there is actually a companion novel! So yay! :D 
Until next time

A spy known as the Wraith
A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums
A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes 

Kaz's crew are the only ones who might stand between the world and destruction—if they don't kill each other first. 
(Goodreads)

So I am going to admit that I totally bought this book because of the cover and the book itself. I mean the book is literally black! Like how cool is that?! So I bought it and didn't read it until the second one came out... 
Anyways it was actually a pretty good book, it had a pretty interesting plot, and a diverse set of characters. My biggest problem with the book was how slow it was in the beginning. 
It's a whole new world with different politics, different social systems. And it was hard to understand, it was kind of complex at times and I felt it drag. But everything changed when they went to go free Mattias which was the start of the action.
The diversity and complexity of the characters is what kept me most interested. All the characters were flawed in one way or another, and instead of just brushing off the flaws, they were all incorporated into the story in a way that didn't seem forced but natural. I love how, even though they all have problems, but they don't let that inhibit them.
Everything gets better, story line wise, with the escape of Mattias. On their way steal a Ravkan prisoner. 
Overall I actually really liked the book even though it was pretty slow in the beginning. The story was rich of impossibilities that ended up turned out alright. 
Until next time

P.S. I still love you: Jenny Han

Lara Jean didn’t expect to really fall for Peter.
She and Peter were just pretending. Except suddenly they weren’t. Now Lara Jean is more confused than ever.
When another boy from her past returns to her life, Lara Jean’s feelings for him return too. Can a girl be in love with two boys at once?
(Goodreads)

I don't know why I thought I  would like to read this, but I did. I didn't finish though becasue it was basically the same thing. It starts with Lara Jean happily in love with Peter and changing her wardrobe to winter clothes. Pretty bland. I actually really didn't like it, so I truth be told don't remember much of what I read anyways...
So maybe I'll try to read it again another time.

To all the boys I've loved before: Jenny Han

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed. But one day Lara Jean discovers that somehow her secret box of letters has been mailed, causing all her crushes from her past to confront her about the letters: her first kiss, the boy from summer camp, even her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh. As she learns to deal with her past loves face to face, Lara Jean discovers that something good may come out of these letters after all.
(Goodreads)



I'd heard a lot about this book saying that it was very good and that it was super cute... Well it wasn't. It was actually really annoying. It could have been worse it wasn't necessarily good, or bad. It was just annoying. Lara Jean was so vain and annoying and everything was about her... 
I guess it was a simple read and if you really like teen contemporaries then this would be a fun read.

Unwind: Neal Shusterman

Blurb from Goodreads:
The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state, is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and to survive.
Review:
Well I read this book because of a book trailer I saw in my English class, and oh my goodness that was such a haunting trailer. It ensnared me, and the book was just incredible. It was a haunting dystopian that made me think. What if someone thought this was a good idea? A good compromise for those pro life and those pro choice. I found I liked the way it was written in different perspectives, that it took time to really introduce you to the characters without boring a person to death with the details. I think the best part was how it showed the accident on the freeway from all their perspectives. 
The teens, were just teens, he didn't make them into adults or have Connor's head inflate because of his new reputation... He kept them children for as long as possible. He showed the selfishness of adults. The selfishness of the poachers for CHILDREN, who would find children and strip them of their parts and sell them. He showed harsh realities of the world disguised in a book for teens. This is a powerful book that will forever hold in my heart because it showed parts of reality disguised as a book for teens, but even for adults this book will be interesting. 
The most haunting part of this book was how he described the process of unwinding, if nothing else interests you read it for that moment because it is just described in such way that it'll stay with you for a while.

These Vicious Masks: Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas

England, 1882. Evelyn is bored with society and its expectations. So when her beloved sister, Rose, mysteriously vanishes, she ignores her parents and travels to London to find her, accompanied by the dashing Mr. Kent. But they’re not the only ones looking for Rose. The reclusive, young gentleman Sebastian Braddock is also searching for her, claiming that both sisters have special healing powers. Evelyn is convinced that Sebastian must be mad, until she discovers that his strange tales of extraordinary people are true—and that her sister is in graver danger than she feared.
(Goodreads)
You know It was a lot better than I thought it would be, on Goodreads it just has 3 and a half stars and some of the review were very negative. But I, myself, found that I really enjoyed it. I loved the story itself sister is kidnapped, elder sister come to the rescue with two handsome men vying for her attention. Kind of swoon worthy. 
What was the best part though was that Evelyn was actually pretty likeable, she wasn't nearly as annoying as other female leads. I liked that you also found her growing more as a person throughout the book, growing more comfortable with her power, more confident with herself, that her acceptance of her healing was an acceptance of herself. Evelyn wasn't easily swept away with the prospect of romance, even with a tall brooding, prideful male. She cared more for her sister and Roses wishes to be a nurse.
The book had great witty moments, for example:

“Rose,” I said, turning to my younger sister. “In your esteemed medical opinion, is it possible to die of ennui?”
“I . . . can’t recall a documented case.”
“What about exhaustion? Monotony?”
“That could lead to madness,” Rose offered.
“And drowning in a sea of suitors? After being pushed in by your mother?”
“It would have to be a lot of suitors.”

This is just one of many, but it fit the book, it didn't feel forced. It was just a natural part of the characters personality. 
Most of all I loved the ending, it wasn't sunshine and rainbows. It was sad and kind of expected, but still had hope in the end that everything was going to be fine.
Overall I would recommend this book to those who want a mix of Pride and Prejudice with X-Men with witty comebacks. It seemed accurate in the historical sense. But what do I know.
Until next time

Teen Idol By: Meg Cabot

High school junior Jenny Greenley is so good at keeping secrets that she's the school newspaper's anonymous advice columnist. She's so good at it that, when hotter-than-hot Hollywood star Luke Striker comes to her small town to research a role, Jenny is the one in charge of keeping his identity under wraps. But Luke doesn't make it easy, and soon everyone—the town, the paparazzi, and the tabloids alike—know his secret...and Jenny is caught right in the middle of all the chaos.
(Goodreads)

I actually really liked it. I just found it in the library, while looking for new books to read and just thought, "what the heck, might as well." It was fun, and a very fast, simple read.  I really enjoyed it and the ending was different to what I thought, and I loved it. The main character Jenny Greenly was pretty likeable. Obviously annoying at times, when she wouldn't do anything against the bullying to the girlie that I absolutely can't remember her name... She would always check on her afterwards, and yes that great and all but, as Luke said she has power. Which, at first I didn't believe and still think is very unlikely, but was quite awesome. And it was so simple, she just had to (wo)man up and start doing the right thing. Just like Luke said. Now, on the subject of Luke, I absolutely for the life of me, thought that he would start liking Jenny, and I was absolutely wrong! Like most cliques, she would have ended up with the guy, fix the school, get the cabbage baby back, and life would be amazing. Wrong! Jenny ended up with Scott who was absolutely perfect for each other :D and I was too oblivious to notice anything going on between them... Anyways I really enjoyed the book
Later ^^

Stirring Up Trouble: Juli Alexander

What’s worse than lusting after my best friend’s on again off again boyfriend? How about my dad dating his mother, and my mom redesigning his bedroom for her show? With fate interfering so cruelly, can you really blame me for putting my magic potions to not-so-good use?

I’m Zoe Miller, a fifteen-year-old witch with only one power-—a talent for potions. I have my life all mapped out. I plan to be a doctor and develop drugs to cure disease. We already have potions to help all kinds of symptoms, but none of them will get by the Food and Drug Administration. I mean, the government bureaucrats are not going to okay the ingestion of bat wings or unicorn horns. Luckily, fat-free margarine has already been found to be an adequate substitute for dead man’s toe. So, I really hold out hope that I can make things work. Looking for edible substitutions to use in the potions is my passion.
(Goodreads) 

I remember reading it a while back (June 17 2012 to be exact)  and I thought that it was super good, and very interesting, but the second time around... Meh. It could have been a lot better, and at times it was childish. I know that she's, like, 15 and all. But I mean come on! It was ridiculous at times, I mean she wouldn't stand up for her self when it came to her friend (that was not a good friend, she was absolutely horrible) she just kept making up excuses as to why she couldn't stand up to her.

Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices: book two) By: Cassandra Clare

In magical Victorian London, orphan Tessa found safety with the Shadowhunters, until traitors betray her to the Magister. He wants to marry her, but so do self-destructive Will and fiercely devoted Jem. Mage Magnus Bane returns to help them. Secrets to her parentage lie with the mist-shrouded Yorkshire Institute's aged manager Alyosius Starkweather.

(Goodreads)
 I love this series. That’s all I have to say about it. This is one of the best books I have read, and have reread it many times, and every time I think “WHY?!?! LORD Cassandra Clare why must you try to kill me with your cliff hangers!! OH the ending it breaks my heart so” :’(

Anyways… I believe Tessa is more of a Marry Sue in this one, trying to take everything on especially when it involves her beloved brother. And very giving, I mean she gave up her love for Will just because Jem had proposed to her…. Well that is a good reason, BUT right afterwards Tessa had burnt her hand badly because of the pain in her heart. I always thought she should have told him no, that she loves Will and save the rest of us all the pain and tears TT^TT. Now Clockwork Prince deals more with the threat of Mortmain and that threat becomes a reality when they face betrayal. There is plotting, lies, and the love of Will and Tessa J but there is also Jem, sweet, sweet Jem that is going to die and loves Tessa. And Tessa belongs to Will. Oh love triangles how much I love/hate you. So we have our dilemma, we have our evil, we have our heartbreak. And this is one of the happiest. Everything is still very happy nothing too serious has happened yet, so everyone is still happy (EXCEPT Tessa and Will. Except those Will and Tessa), they have won the bet against the Lightwoods, Charlotte is pregnant (with sweet little Buford), Tessa and Jem and engaged. All is well… For now. 

Now what I noticed from annotating the book what how hard Cassandra Clare tries to use old English, I mean at times it was ridiculous, it was just so funny! I didn’t notice this before, but now I just can’t help but giggle at times when it was over used. Also I noticed that this was all about Jem and Tessa’s relationship, with the occasional Will interference (except the ending! D’:). But I found it sort of sad that Tessa almost had sex with Jem at this spur of the moment kiss that went too far. I mean, at that time there virginity was sacred

and she almost lost it… I always thought that it went too far, but… meh -__-”

 

Matched (Matched #1) By: Ally Condie

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
(Goodreads) 
Well I really liked it. It took me forever to get through the book though, but it was very interesting. I was very quick to judge the book, because at first I thought it was very similar to Delirium. Girl is at the test to decide her future, what her career will be, her husband, everything. Then her test was interupted but a handsome boy. She is then intrigued by this boy and soon falls in love with him when she meets him. Now Matched started with the perparing of the Banquet. She gets there is matched with her best friend, all is well. The next day Cassia puts her mirocard with all of Xanders information to see what the Society thought was important for her to know. What she sees instead is a boy that is NOT her matched. And Cassia knows him, he is Ky Markham. She is then intrigued by him to soon fall in love. So because of this big similarity (in my eyes) I had delayed reading Matched. And when I finally did I found that it is VERY different to Delirium. The similarity ends at the falling in love part. Everything else is completely different. The book was odd. There are no other words for me to describe it. Matched was very odd, how the world worked all the new advancements. But I loved it. And since this is a dystopian book I could see parts of this book happening. Things that could become a reality. I absolutely loved the way Ally Condie described the world, how everything had to be 'fair.' The Society controlled everything, from the things they ate, how much they could exercise, who they married, what they could do in their free time. It was interesting, every well thought out. Now I do admit to being bored at times because it was very VERY slow, but it was still very good. I just wish that at times it were faster. Because it dragged a bit. But there was a lot to explain. The characters were amazing. In this world of perfection, there were some cracks, some imperfections. My favorite of all was Cassia. I think Cassia was a great hero. She seemed so perfect at first but slowly as she fell in love with Ky, she became greedy, something that is not allowed, she wanted to choose what she wanted to be, who she could love. The one thing that did bug me at first about Cassia was how fast Cassia fell in love with Ky. It seemed to me that right when she saw his face on her microcard, instead of Xander, it was love. But it was not so, and as she explained, she did not love him until the moment she saw him on the hill they hiked. At the moment when Ky was free from the burdens of the society, and could be himself. That was the moment Cassia fell in love. So after that explanation I was more ok with it. Xander wasn't very important it seemed to me. At times he was just there. But he is Cassia's official match, and that was all. Near the end Xander became more important
Now since I thought it was like Delirium I had not wanted to read it, thinking it would be a repeat. But I was utterly wrong. It was better than I had ever expected, completely different from Delirium. The similarities ended with them falling in love with someone they should not and I loved it. The book was amazing, but it was slow. Very slow, and at times it dragged. But it was still very good. It was also interesting how the world is. How technology runs everything, how they have destroyed very thing and have only left the 100 songs, lessons, paintings, etc. Also since the society was so “perfect” it is imperfect, trying to hide things that they didn’t want the people to know. I loved it. Other than that, I absolutely loved the book. It was an odd, yet compelling book. :3

The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle book One) By: Maggie Stiefvater

“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
(Goodreads) 

Well I really loved this book!! But it took me forever to finish it. Which never happens... I usually, when I really like the book, finish it in one or two days. This one took me almost an entire week.  But it was really good, it was super interesting, it was new and it was odd. It had many different point of views, Blue, Gansey, Adam, Whelk, and Neeve. And it would randomly change, so at times it was very confusing. What bugged me was Blues mom and semi-aunts. They knew what was going on, but wouldn't tell anyone what it was, making it harder and they could have avoided some things from happening. But it was so awesome. And unique, all the characters had flaws, in one way or another and that made them human. Whereas, most books have near perfect characters, that then at one point will become perfect. Boring. But this, this was amazing, I really came to love the characters, and they all had there own demons to fight against, some worse then others, but it was amazing. Now the ending made me scream, it was such a cliffy, I love and hate cliffys, they make the wait for the next book agonizing, but also it makes the wait worth it (sometimes). And the mystery of the book kept me on edge the entire time. I absolutely did not expect some (most) of the things that happened!! Like Noah being dead, I should have realized some of the hints of him being dead, but I didn't and it was such a big shock. It was slow at times, but the story had a lot of things to explain which made it understandable. 
Absolutely loved this book!! :D

Sword Play (The Seer series book 4) By: Linda Joy Singleton

So in this one Sabine has moved back to San Jose to live with her family again. You'd think everything would be all right, and everyone would be like a family... Wrong, everyone is divided and Sabine feels like the outcast. But, as usual, things start getting weird, and Sabine is visited by the spirit of Kip, THE football player that she predicted his death. All in all, just a normal week for Sabine.

Well, this one was good, it kept it interesting. And they are also closer to finding the cure, which is awesome. BUT!!! Sabine!! Gosh dang it, Sabine was even more annoying than the rest of the other books combined. Josh didn't visit her so she was all like... "Oh my gosh Josh doesn't love me anymore because he hasn't come to see me" absolutely annoying!! So Sabine, with that in mind finally decided that she loved Dominic, all because Josh didn't visit her... Dumb. But I am happy that she finally realized that Dominic is better... Never liked Josh.. Anyways, the story is getting better and more interesting, I mean how are they going to find a lost cure for Nonna...?

The Fallen Star (Fallen Star series book one) By: Jessica Sorensen

I'm not even going to post the book summary.... I really didn't like this book
Well. Why can I say... I hated it. And the only reason I finished it was because I thought it would get better near the end.... It (for me) just got worse. It started out really slow, and went on like that for several chapters. It got good around 35% (on kindle) but then it sucked again. Alex with all his secrets just bugged me. 'Oh sorry that's classified' screw that !!! And at the end when they were wiping Gemma's memories he just say there like 'oh I'm sorry I'm just gonna look at you all guiltily because I love you, but I'm not supposed to, and because I can't tell you anything.' Absolutely annoying. I have read two other books by Jessica Sorensen and they were amazing!! So I expect this one to be the same, boy was I wrong!! I was so excited to read it because it sounded interesting but it was such a let down. :'(
All the characters... Sucked !! There was no depth to them no detail... DETAIL!!! D: It's supposed to be a romance and romance always has a lot of detail. The most romance was when Alex and Gemma where near each other and there electrical stuff started. But this, this was just sad. I expected more from this book because of the two other series I've read and they were AMAZING, so I expected this to be good. But, it didn't start out like this. At first, the book was very interesting, a little slow for my taste, but still very interesting. But once Alex and Ailis (something like) showed up the story just went down hill. It had great potential, and I think that is what put me off most, it had great potential to be a really great book series. But as a first book of the series it didn't start out good, first books set the story up and leave you with questions and all but nothing like this! As the story went along it just got more confusing. Over all... I really didn't like it, as you can see.... But meh -___-"

Last Dance (The Seer series book 2) By: Linda Joy Singleton

Celebrated by Pine City every year on the anniversary of her tragic death, Chloe has become a town legend. Despite death threats and missing the school dance, Sabine must use her psychic skills to solve the mystery surrounding Chloe's untimely demise . . . and lay her soul to rest.
(From Goodreads) 
Well I really loved this one, it really continued the series perfectly. I really liked Sabine in this one because she finally started accepting her psychic powers, which she should have done EARLIER !!  GAH !! Well anyways.... I really liked this one, the sense of mystery was still there, if not more because Sabine has to find the cure for her grandmother to get better. But Dominic is here to help :3 the love triangle has started!! I hope Sabine goes for him, he is SO much better than Josh.... Meh
Well I absolutely can not wait for the next book, I need to go locate one... 
Later :3

The Vincent Boys (The Vincent Boys Book one) By: Abbi Glines

OH MY FLIPPING GORSH!!! There are no other words to describe how amazing this book was :)
Now that I'm calm...
So this book is about Ashton (Ash) Grey. She has the perfect life: perfect boyfriend, Sawyer Vincent star quarterback, prefect grades, pastures daughter... But she's not happy, because there is a certain bad boy catching her eye, since they were five. Beau Vincent. The towns known bad boy, reckless, cousin to Sawyer, off limits. But Ash can't help but want him. And the chance comes when Sawyer leaves for summer vacation leaving Ash all alone. She wants to rekindle her friendship with Beau but things get steamy and they fall for each other. Summer goes on and Ash and Beau are spending it together free from the reality of the situation. Sawyer comes back early from his trip and weeks into the school year finds out about Ash and Beau's secret relationship.

The characters:

• Ash: she is the perfect girl, every guy wants her, every girl wants to be her. Ash is supposed to be this great girl and wants to be worthy of Sawyer, but she has a dark side. She wants to be rebellious, she wants to herself. At times I loved her, at others, she was a bit annoying because she never fought back when she was being bullied. All in all I loved her character, especially when she was herself. 
• Sawyer: he is the perfect guy, star quarterback, caring, awesome. We didn't really get to know him a lot in this book because he was off in his vacation. But what we did see of him (near the end) was sort of jerk-ish. Sort of force full of his feelings, pushing them on Ash.
• Beau: oh freaking lord, Beau is just perfect. Ish. Beau has a troubled past, his dad died when he was young, his mom never really took care of him. So he is labeled as the towns bad boy, trailer trash. But he is not all that he seems, underneath all that angst, trouble, and charm. He is a sweet heart. And loveable... Just perfect. 

Oh goodness this book was great, started it today and finished it today, it was just amazing. Could not put the book down. It was so interesting and sad, but it was also aggravating because Ash and Beau were cheating.... This book has different point of view from Ash and Beau, and I absolutely loved it. It gave you a more in depth view of what the characters were thinking. 

"Step out of my life. Like Hell." 

That just made my heart melt... It had some PRETTY steamy kisses that made me blush. It might be a new adult book... But I don't know. Anyways definitely recommended to older teens that can handle REALLY steamy kisses. 

Your Guardian Angel (book one of the Guardian Angel series) by:SkylaMadi

I actually really liked the book (considering that I got it for free on Kindle). It was interesting, it was about vampires, god/goddesses, and angels. And I love all three. It started off great!! "When I think of death, I picture a warm light embracing me in my sleep at a very old age. When I experienced death, it was completely different..." That line hooked me right from the beginning, and from there it was good and bad.
So the book is about Ruby Moore and her half vampire half goddess issue (at the moment). Her mom was killed when she was 16 by her step-dad (Hank) gone vampire turning her into a half vampire when a light erupted from Ruby stopping Hank from completely turning Ruby.  Then she tries to live a normal life as a human at her aunts house. It goes on to when Ruby is cured and goes to SS. Then there's some boy problems, girls hating on her, the norm. So at the school SS she is the 'bad girl' that every guy wants and very girl hates. So Ruby is always getting in trouble. Later on in the book she starts getting letters from a certain vampire stating that they had her cousin, who Ruby adores. So Ruby being the Mary Sue that she is, didn't tell Eli, her guardian angel, and escaped to the forest to confront Hank. Turns out it was a lie... So many people die and it's all Ruby's fault.

Characters:

• Ruby: I actually really liked her at first, as the book continued she slowly got annoying.. Anyways, Ruby at the beginning was morbid and sarcastic. Absolutely loved it, she could hold her own, fought back against the bullies, ignored the jerks, awesome. Once she got to Sage Sanctum she got very annoying.
• Eli: Oh my gosh!! Is there another word for him!!! :3 A side his hotness... He was kind of mean, he was very controlling. His relationship with Ruby was forbidden because she was a student he a teacher and the goddess no mating with angels... But Eli was just kind of annoying. 
• Mila: I think she is so sweet and it's sad how she was always bullied. Now what did bug me was how she sold out Ruby's secret of being a former half vampire to the school bully, Raina. But oh well, she's supportive of Ruby and very kind I really like her. 
• Hunter: sexy bad boy that nobody trusts... He is just so awesome... Personally I liked him more than Eli. But alas Ruby loves Eli 

OH and he gave her a whistle to call him!!! Lord I want one!! All girls should have one :3 because I mean we could all use a hot angel.

Your Guardian Angel (book one of the Guardian Angel series) by:SkylaMadi

I actually really liked the book (considering that I got it for free on Kindle). It was interesting, it was about vampires, god/goddesses, and angels. And I love all three. It started off great!! "When I think of death, I picture a warm light embracing me in my sleep at a very old age. When I experienced death, it was completely different..." That line hooked me right from the beginning, and from there it was good and bad.

Sun Kissed (book two of the Guardian Angel series) by: Skyla Madi

Well what can I say... I didn't really like it started off descent, but to me, it slowly got worse. But it's still decent, as in, I still want to know how it ends.

Ruby Moore is depressed because her beloved angel is gone. Well it starts off like that... Anyways Ruby is depressed because Eli has been locked in a dungeon for three months because of his inappropriate relationship with a student and also it is a guardian/goddess relationship which is frowned upon. So for three months Hunter (who I absolutely adorable) is trying to court her. Slowly Ruby starts to care for Hunter until Eli comes back. They try to stay away from each other but they're in love and can't stay away from each other. Now the big problem in this one is the Higher power that calls upon Ruby, and Eli, to do there bidding. 

Pros: it is still very interesting and makes me what to know what happens next :)

Cons: Ruby was very annoying with the "I love Eli, but I also love Hunter. And both are forbidden loves.." And her marry sue act -__-" 

Otherwise this book is still great :3
