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

Never Never: Brianna R. Shrum

James Hook is a child who only wants to grow up. When he meets Peter Pan, a boy who loves to pretend and is intent on never becoming a man, James decides he could try being a child - at least briefly. James joins Peter Pan on a holiday to Neverland, a place of adventure created by children's dreams, but Neverland is not for the faint of heart. Soon James finds himself longing for home, determined that he is destined to be a man. But Peter refuses to take him back, leaving James trapped in a world just beyond the one he loves. A world where children are to never grow up. But grow up he does. And thus begins the epic adventure of a Lost Boy and a Pirate. This story isn't about Peter Pan; it's about the boy whose life he stole. It's about a man in a world that hates men. It's about the feared Captain James Hook and his passionate quest to kill the Pan, an impossible feat in a magical land where everyone loves Peter Pan. Except one.
(Goodreads)

 I thought it would be better... It was good and very interesting especially the first two parts. But let me begin at the start.
The book starts with a young 12 year old James Hook who cannot wait to grow up and become and Elton boy, something I don't understand... Dude growing up sucks. Anyways things at home are good and happy but he becomes rebellious becasue his dad can't go to the gardens with him. I admit to doing this when things didn't go my way... Not a good idea. And that night he decided to go to the gardens by himself and meets a boy that's a little older than him. That was obviously Peter and he introduces him to the Faeries and its all very middle grade and whimsical. Until they got to Neverland and Peter changed and he wasn't all fun and games and he had all these pointless rules. I think the part that is most sad is when James realizes that he can't go home and he fights with Peter and demands to go home, but Peter being a brat said no he's a lost boy now and if he mentions his parents again he's going to get hurt. Hook runs away and cries in the forest with a six year old Tiger Lily. Pretty sad
Then part two starts with Hook getting older. And it was around here that the book started getting weird. Hook is taller than Peter so he tries to kill him, quite gruesome. And Hook returns to the pirate ship he was destined for. Literally since he's the one who dreamed it up at 12 
Everything is fun and games until Hook falls in love with Tiger Lily who just so happens to be growing up like James...I wonder why;)
Anyways this is when James Hook starts hating the Pan with every fiber in his being... It's a little much, but the plot itself is still very child like. It's as though they are just playing a game. 
Things take a turn for the worse when Captain Hook looses his hand and officially becomes "Captain Hook most feared pirate in Neverland" 
Kids are killing adults with no remorse, Tiger Lily and Hook have sex... I had a lot of mixed feelings here. It's a book that started out middle grade then young adult, and then sex... I dunno it just felt off. Especially when Hook started sleeping around, and having sex in caves with Tiger Lily...
The plot was weird, Hook's hatred for the Pan was... Pretty intense and I can understand parts of his hatred: ruining his childhood, kidnapping him from his loving parents, refusing to take him back home, trying to kill him multiple times with absolutely no remorse, ruining his love life with Tiger Lily see I'm confused with this but whatever... The list goes on. 
The book lacked a good plot with a good ending. I had hoped the entire time that this was all going to be a dream, or he would find a way to make it back home whether as a child or as an adult. Something for this poor pathetic man. But no, thing like that. We get a brief encounter with the Darling children.. And it's just like the 2003 Peter Pan... The whole ending was just lack luster and very dull. I had deluded myself into thinking that Hook could have a happy ending with Wendy.. But alas no such luck
It was interesting to say the least. And I truly have no way to really explain how I felt about this book
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.
Later

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.

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 -__-”

 

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...?

Witch Ball (The Seer series book 3) By: Linda Joy Singleton

"Someone who loves you will cause your death. In five days, you will die."

Strange things are happening to Sabine again, and this time it's not her predictions that are coming true. In the last book Sabine was given the Witch Ball, and in this one you find out it is haunted by  vengeful spirit. And the three predictions before Sabine has happened, now it's  time for Sabine to save herself from her death.

I think this one was great. Slowly but surely Sabine is becoming more open with her seer ability, and I like that she is becoming more confident. The main high school problem for Sabine in this one, is the threat of Evan telling Josh about her past, and I was hoping he would, and that Josh would be horrified and then Sabine would realize her love for Dominic!! But, alas, it did not happen so. But it was close enough. Dominic told Sabine how he felt about her when she was pretty much, almost, dead. Causing Sabine to realize her love for Dominic. Which made me super happy!! :D But then there's Josh, who, just so happens to not believe Evan in his stories of Sabine's past, believing it to be lies. Idiot. Anyways, the series is slowly getting better and more interesting, as the story progresses and Sabine slowly realizes her powers are not bad. And as Nona gets worse, the stakes are higher and Dominic and Sabine are more desperate to find the cure.
Now the ending.. Oh my flipping gosh!! I absolutely can not believe that her mom wants her to move back to San Jose, after all her "anti-seer stuff/anti-daughter" actions!!

Chain Reaction By: Simone Elkeles

The final book to the Perfect Chemistry novels... It was perfect. This one is about the last son Luis, the final Fuentes... Anyways, the book starts off with the wedding of Alex to Brittany (I died from happiness) and Luis is 15. The love interest is Nikki Cruz, a Latina girl that denies her Mexican heritage (this made me sad... I mean come on. Embrace your heritage). They hit it of... By Nikki kneeing Luis in the balls. Perfect... It then flashes two years in the future, Luis is now 17 and is living in Chicago again. Luis Fuentes is the good boy in the family, not expected to do anything stupid, he has hopes and dreams, everything is good for the youngest Fuentes. Now Nikki is very bitter, she at 15 got pregnant with your boyfriends child, whom broke up with her making her bitter, then to top it all off, looses the baby. So she's bitter and really mean... And she is Luis's love interest. Now that Luis is back very thing is going smoothly, the Latino Blood is gone because the  main guy, Chuy is in jail because of Alex. But Luis being an idiot, ends up joining the Blood stuff happens, and turns out his REAL dad was Hector Martinez!! That was a huge shock... Anyways, everything turns out ok in the end.  :3
I loved this book!! It was the perfect ending to all the Perfect Chemistry novels, and this one was a bit of a shock at the end, but absolutely perfect. Why must the Fuentes boys be so sexy !!! :'(   So this one was just amazing, Luis was just so loveable and cute, as it said in the books with was the more "innocent" one... Not really... ;)  Nikki on the other hand really REALLY annoyed me. I understand that she got pregnant at 15, lost the baby and her boyfriend on the same day, but she took her bitterness way too far. I mean she was waiting for her friend to break up with her boyfriend saying "All boys are the same... Boo hoo for me my first and ONLY boyfriend left me pregnant... Then dumped me..." She really truly annoyed me. And how she judged Luis right away, for him being Mexican, living on the poorer side of town, and being friends with some of the gang bangers, sucky... Other than that I loved the series, and this one was the best. It had more background on the Fuentes family, and showed Alex and Brittany as parents, Carlos as a military man getting ready to propose to Kiara. And the epilogue was just perfect, it showed all of them together when they were older, with their own kids. It was just adorable.

One thing I noticed, all the boys had a different thing to call their girl. Alex: mamacita. Carlos: chica. And Luis: Chava. It made me melt.. :D

Rules of Attraction By: Simone Elkeles

Now this one is about Carlos, the middle child. As a kid he always admired Alex, him being in a gang and protecting the family, being a kick-arse... All that awesomeness. So... At the end of Perfect Chemistry, Alex's family moves back to Mexico. And there Carlos gets involved with some gangs... Again!! WHY?!?! Anyways, him Mama found out and shipped him off to Boulder, Colorado, to live with Alex. Carlos is not happy, he gets in trouble and then starts living with a friend of Alex's who helped Alex when he needed the help. Dr. Richard Westford. Of course he has a daughter, Kiara, and they slowly but surely fall in love.
Again, I absolutely loved this book, I loved the Spanish they spoke, and since I speak Spanish it just made it that much hotter :3 Anyways, I really liked this book, it was very similar to Perfect Chemistry, except that Kiara wasn't uber rich... More normal, and that her parents approved of Carlos. The romance was steamy-er... If possible and I just loved it ;3 Story wise it was great, it was still very interesting with whole new twists and turns. Kiara was a more head strong girl, and was perfect for Carlos. The epilogue was absolutely PERFECT!!! It made me laugh at the irony, and I just love how Ms. Elkeles wrote about their life afterwards...

Perfect Chemistry By: Simone Elkeles

I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!! There are no other words to describe how much I loved the book. :) The book is about a Mexican boy named Alejandro "Alex" Fuentes... Shexy :3 Anyways... He is sort of the classic Mexican boy, he is in a gang, is going to drop out of high school, lives on the wrong side of town, would do anything for his family. and all that stuff. He then makes a bet with his friends that he is going to get the rich "white" girl to sleep with him. This rich white girl is Brittany Greene. She has a "perfect life." Perfect grades, perfect boyfriend, rich, head cheerleader. Everything. But, in reality she has a hard home life. Her sister is mentally challenged and needs help. Her parents are always working, or when her mom is there all she does is criticize Brittany. In this bet, they start to fall for each other. Slowly but surely. Alex shows Brittany what he is like, his hopes and dreams. And Brittany opens up to Alex, and they fall in love.
I loved this book so much. I absolutely devoured it :) it was fast paced and detailed sort of, at times, lacked details. I sort of had to guess what the characters looked like. Also I loved that the characters were human and imperfect. I love imperfect characters, and this just made the story much more realistic. Another thing... I loved that is was in both their point of views, it told both sides of the stories and made it that much better.

"Mamacita I have already lost control..."

Alex just made me melt with happiness :3

What I found sort of annoying was how fast they moved. The book starts at the beginning of their senior year in August, and then the main event happens in October 31st. Just one month of getting to know each other and falling in love, it was very fast, but I still absolutely loved it. Also the epilogue almost killed me!! From happiness!! It was just so sweet and a perfect ending, reveling more of their future together. : )

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

Sabine can't wait to show off her new boyfriend at the upcoming school dance, but she's also worried about her grandmother, Nona, who's suffering from a fatal hereditary illness. The only cure lies within a remedy book, lost long ago. Determined to save Nona, Sabine goes to Pine City to visit a distant relative who may have clues. But there's someone else clamoring for Sabine's attention: a fifty-year-old ghost named Chloe who's been appearing in her dreams. 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

Don't Die, Dragonfly (The Seer Series Book one) By: Linda Joy Singleton

After getting kicked out of school and sent to live with her grandmother, Sabine Rose is determined to become a "normal" teenage girl. She hides her psychic powers from everyone, even from her grandmother Nona, who also has "the gift."
Having a job at the school newspaper and friends like Penny Love, a popular cheerleader, have helped Sabine fit in at her new school. She has even managed to catch the eye of the adorable Josh DeMarco.
Yet, Sabine can't seem to get the bossy voice of Opal, her spirit guide, out of her head... or the disturbing images of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo. Suspected of a crime she didn't commit, Sabine must find the strength to defend herself and, later, save a friend from certain danger.
(From GoodReads...)
Personally the goodreads things doesn't do the book justice, and that's one of the reasons why I didn't pick up the book sooner. It just didn't appeal to me, but one of my friends said... READ IT!!! So I did, and I LOVED IT!! Why didn't I read it sooner. 
Characters:

• Sabine Rose: Meh.. MEH I didn't really like her, I know throughout the book it always went back to Sabine being kicked out of school because she wasn't normal... But she just annoyed me, A LOT !! She would ignore what her spirit guild would tell her all for the sake of being "normal"  understandable, but Sabine was just so idiotic at times... Meh
• Penny-Love: there is gonna be problems with her later on in the series, I just know it! Otherwise, Penny-Love was just an annoying cheerleader.
• Thorn: I absolutely love her!! She didn't appear in the book much, except near the end, but Thorn was just so fun and kick butt. 
• Dominic: I have a feeling he is going to be very important soon... Otherwise Dominic was just on the side lines working with Nona. Oh, and he talks to animals.
• Nona: the poor grandmother !! Who is loosing her memory... And is also psychic 
• Josh: he is going to cause problems for  Sabine... Anyways, Josh is super nice that it gets annoying (I'm so mean)

I love this book, it's so interesting and has so much potential to be amazing. Definitely would recommend this to anyone who wants an amazing mystery. :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. 

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices: book one) By: Cassandra Clare

So this is my third time reading it, and I also annotated my book (I felt so guilty at first), and I realized something, this book focuses on the Tess/Will relationship and Jem is not that important a character. I personally love this book, and enjoy it more that the Immortal Instruments (also by Cassandra Clare). This trilogy follows Theresa (Tessa) Gray, William (Will) Herondale, and James (Jem) Carstairs. Specifically Tessa.
Anyways... The book starts off with the death of a mundane (human) in London in the year 1878 that Will and Jem find, from there the point of view changes to Tessa, who lives in American. There, Tessa's Aunt dies leaving her alone because her brother Nate is in London working. she then receives a letter from Nate with a ticket to London. Now once Tessa gets to London she might as well have been kidnapped by these sisters called the Dark Sisters. Tessa is then stuck with the Dark sisters for three weeks, being tortured (ish) because Tessa has a peculiar power to change shape to anyone, as long as she has something of theirs. Then at the end of the three weeks the Dark sisters are getting her prepared to marry the Majister when she is saved by a sexy shirtless leather bound shadowhunter. Love at first hit... So anyways Tessa is now living at the institute with the shadowhunters there. From here there are trials, betrayals, and trying to figure out who the Majister is.
Characters:

• Tessa Gray: She is such a strong and independent girl. She had gone through so much and was still able to be as "normal" as possible. With her being able to change shape, she has the advantage but, as in the book, she fears loosing who she truly is. Also I absolutely love her little arguments with Will, and her love for books.
• Will Herondale: What can I say about Will, he is just so awesome!! He's the tall, dark, handsome boy of the trilogy with a mysterious past causing him to push others away from himself. Perfect :3
• Jem Carstairs: In the first book he really isn't that important until later on in the book. But he is the kinder side of Will, he is Will's parabatai, but is bound to die... For now he is kind and gentle.

I absolutely love this book (as I said before) and I would definitely recommend this to those who enjoyed The City of Bones, Hush Hush, and other angel books.

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices: book one) By: Cassandra Clare

So this is my third time reading it, and I also annotated my book (I felt so guilty at first), and I realized something, this book focuses on the Tess/Will relationship and Jem is not that important a character. I personally love this book, and enjoy it more that the Immortal Instruments (also by Cassandra Clare). This trilogy follows Theresa (Tessa) Gray, William (Will) Herondale, and James (Jem) Carstairs. Specifically Tessa.

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. 

(I'm very sorry if my review is not very good)
