The Trouble with Twelfth Grave - Darynda Jones - Book Review

How does this series get better and better the longer it goes on, i find myself getting quickly sucked into Charley's wit and lifestyle, as if i hadn't put the last book down a year ago.

I love the development of the characters, and I love Charley's humour on her life and in general, I love Reyes and his nature for the love and care for his family.

What I am sad about was the ending, i mean really? did i really read it right? and now, i have to wait a whole year before the next one comes out. Really!

If you haven't yet started on this series, then your really missing out. However, if your reading this review, then i guess your one of Charley's posse, so welcome to the club!

Happy reading :)

(I'm going to rock in a corner waiting for the next book to be released)

The Book of Life - Deborah Harkness Book Review

I have loved reading this series, loved getting to know the characters and getting lost in the world.

I thought the way that Deborah Harkness concluded the story was fitting and well rounded, there will always be questions about what happens next after the last page has been turned, but I was happy with the way it ended, it didn't leave me with a hundred questions that hadn't been answered.

This series is worth reading, and i can not wait to watch the trailer for the TV adaption.

Happy reading :)

Teen Wolf 6x17

WHERE THE HELL IS STILES?

I thought that Stiles would have come into it by the end of 6x19 but reading the review from pure fandom, it looks likes not. But if that’s the case, then how are they going to stop the fight and have an awkward scene between stiles, Lydia and Jackson before the end. But I thought after they had been made a couple, they would have a few scenes together at least. 

But a couple of things is peeing me off, that need answering:-

1) When Stiles does turn up in the scene from the trailer, “that you didn’t think you where doing this without me” he’s in the jeep, how has he got the jeep when Scott has it?

2) Lydia was in hospital, how come Stiles wasn’t mentioned or there - you know his girlfriend- who just got shot. 

If anyone has the answer’s to these question or would just like to rant too, please feel free.

Teen Wolf 6A Ending

I loved the episode, I loved the kiss and Scott and Stiles, Stiles and his dad, and Snarky Peter and Theo. 

However, I think that was the end of DOB in Teen Wolf, it just felt so finale and finished, and I know its because he’s off doing other movies and I can’t wait to see them, but I wanted him to be in up the end. I wanted more scene of Lydia and Stiles. 

I think for the season finale of 6B he will come back, but otherwise I don’t think he will be in it. And I think I can handle that, because if the next 10 are rubbish I can pretend that it finished at the end of 6A. 

What do you all think?  

How do you think it will end? I think, they will defeat the big bad and then it will jump to five years later, and Scott and Kira are getting married, and he and Stiles are goofing around. And Stiles see’s Lydia and gets that loved up feeling he gets with her. I think I just descended into Fan fiction.

Delirium - Lauren Oliver Book Review

I really liked this, I quickly got swept up into the story and characters, I thought at first that Lena was going to be a bit of stickler of a character, but as I read I saw her become stronger and her own person, and by the end I respected her.

Can't wait to find out what happens now in book 2, to find out what happens to Alex? does she find her mom? and Gracie, is she rescued, does she join Lena, the same for Hanna?

If your a fan of Hunger Games and Divergent and Maze Runner, then this book is one for you.

Happy reading :)

Fever Code - James Dashner Book Review

I couldn't believe how easy it was to fall back into the Maze series, Into Thomas's head, I have to admit I had missed him.

When I heard James Dasher was releasing another Maze Runner book, but before Thomas was put in the Maze, I was intrigued and excited and Once I picked this up, I couldn't put it down.

I loved reading about Thomas life before the Maze, how he had to watch his friends suffer, how he suffered, how he was betrayed, I have to say, I never trusted Dr Paige anyway, but the way she manipulated him to get her own way, was wrong.

If you haven't read the Maze Runner series, you really should, and then you should read this. Normally I'm the person who likes to read books in order, but I strongly urge you to read the Maze Runner series first then this one, because you read it, certain scenes and characters make more sense.

Happy Reading :)

Kill Shot Book 2  - Vince Flynn Book Review

Kill shot is book 2 of the Mitch Rapp series, and once again we are caught up in a tangled web of deceit and murder.

These books don't have to be read in order, but in my personal opinion I would, because if you start with book 1, you know everyone. Now, this starts with Mitch making his way through the lit of terrorists that he has, when after the hit has been made, things go wrong. Mitch no longer knows who to trust, Irene doesn't know if she can trust Mitch, and through in some politicians all out to get further up the ladder and for some extra cash and you have another inter woven story, that has you hooked from the first page.

I will say that Kill Shot was interesting in hearing of the other players and there agenda's, I did like American Assassin more but I think just because it had more action, But my opinion may change once I read more from this series.

I will admit that this wasn't a series that normally interested me, and I will admit that I only wanted to read American Assassin was because I knew they were making it into a movie and Dylan O'Brien would be in it, and I mean should I say more? But I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the first one, and knew I needed to read the rest. I like Vince Flynn's writing and even through there is grammar and spelling mistakes, doesn't stop the action and story line.

If you haven't read the Mitch Rapp series, you are missing out and should get reading them.

Happy Reading :)

The Memory Book - Lara Avery

I was very surprised with this book, I had seen it in Barnes and Noble while on holiday and contemplated buying it, but never did, when I got back to my hotel I checked to see when it was out in the UK and learnt it wouldn't be until January 2017, So on my second trip to Barnes and Noble I bought it. It took me a while to get round to reading it, but here I am.

I have one word to say, Sorry.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get round to reading this. It got me right in the feels and I was hooked and unable to put it down, at firs I was just gliding along, enjoying it, but not gripped and then she forget how to get to Ross Nervig's party and I found myself gripped and unable to put the book down.

I loved Cooper and his loyalty to Sammie, I loved the close knit of her family, and puppy! And I loved Sammie, she had so many plans and was so determined for them to happen even with her condition, and then to have it taken from her, yet still carry on and find beauty and love in a bleak future, gave me inspiration in her.

So in conclusion, I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to other readers out there, that are sucker for romance, strong female lead, who can be unstoppable when need to be. Fans of Everything and Everything and Fault in our Stars, this is one for you.

Just be aware, the ending is a killer.

Happy Reading :)

Tales of Shadowhunter Academy

I have been waiting to read this, since it was announced. It was interesting to see Simon go through to become the Shadowhunter he has become.

Please be aware the following contains Spoilers. I loved the story with Matthew and James and I so want to read more about them and know what the deal is with Grace. I also loved the Circle story, I know from the pervious books we have learnt of what the circle did, but I would love a novel with how the circle got started, what Valentine had on everyone, to how Micheal died, To Luke getting bitten and Stephen becoming dad, to Jocelyn discovering the fire. If Cassandra Clare wrote this, even as spilt as 10 stories like the Bane Chronicles and Shadow Academy, I think it would be read.

If for some reason you haven't read the Infernal Devices or city of bones books, then you must have ben living in a cave, because you need to get reading these series, because they are amazing written, entertaining and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.

Happy reading :)

Book Review - American Assassin by Vince Flynn

I've never really read books on CIA or black ops before, terrorism wasn't a book that took my fancy, however, when I heard that American Assassin was coming out, I knew I had to read it. (I'm sorry but who isn't excited about seeing Dylan O'Brien all bad ass and stuff).

Upon reading American Assassin I quickly got caught up in the story, I got caught up in Mitch and his travels to become this Assassin. At first his character intrigued me, why had he chosen this? What had caused his pain? Etc. But reading further into, he was still intriguing, but I started to like him, I felt he was a strong lead character and can't wait to see what is going to happen to this character in future novels.

Now, the story, as I mentioned this is the first terrorism- action genre book I have read, but I thought the story was strong and quickly pulled you in. I liked that it showed you the view points, not just from Mitch, but Stan, Sayyed and the other characters.

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and if you haven't read these books yet, then you really need to.

Happy Reading :)

some people think that stiles actually asked her to pass this on to malia im done

Yeah i have read it, hilarious

[iheartreading91]

I was just watching the trailer again, and when he says remember I love you, you can see a bit of Lydia’s hair, and I know people have said he’s saying it to Malia, but a little bit earlier in the trailer when he says you’ll forget me, it shows the same side of hair and it’s lydia. It has to be

One With You - Sylvia Day Book Review

I love when a story ends all wrapped up, no cliffhangers or what if's, and "One with you," doesn't disappoint.

I have enjoyed reading and going through Eva and Gideon's journey with them, I am saddened to see it end, but I'm glad the to characters got there happily ever after.

I was sad and felt the pain and ache for Eva at losing her mother, I can't imagine how that felt, but imagining it from my point with my own mother, makes my chest ache.

This is a series to read if you liked Fifty Shades, Eva and Gideon's story will capture you just as well it has for us.

Can't wait to read what comes next.

Happy reading :)

Life and Death - Twilight revisited

I found this interesting to read, It was hard to get into the head of Beau after reading it with Bella. But it was good to see what it would have been like if Edward had been a girl and Bella a boy. I also liked that he became a vampire in the end, if the story had just been one book instead of four.

Reading this, took me back to the feeling of reading Twilight for the first time, I forgot how much I loved the series, the characters and the story. It was nice, to go back into the world of Forks.

If your a Twilight fan or a Twi-hard then this is one for you.

Happy Reading :)

Kindred Spirits - book review

I really liked this, Just like with Fangirl this hits you with anything you have gotten obsessed with or has consumed your thoughts, that all you feel you do is eat, sleep your fandom.

This is worth reading
