Deadmen Walking Book Review
A DEADMAN’S CROSS NOVEL
ALL ABOARD THE SEA WITCH, YOU FUTTOCKING BUFFOONS I have been a fan of Kenyon for years, with the Dark Hunter Series (which include the Dream Hunters and the Katagaria, Drakomai etc). I was always intrigued with Thorn, and now have a series on his pawns. Ehehe Devyl would shit wood if he was referred as Thorn's pawns. Though he was at the beginning, yet an ally is more appropriate wording. So, Deadmen Walking is the First novel of the Deadman's Cross series (I hope it's a series, not a futtocking trilogy). At the beginning, we meet Paden Jack who is fighting a sea monster - deformed Kraken if you judge by my imagination. Then forward to his sister meeting the main protagonist of the book in a bar, the notorious Captain of the Sea Witch, Devyl Bane. He has crew of deadmen, called Hell Chasers and their leader is our Thorn. ehehe Cadegan's father, Lucifer's son and sexy mofo governing Asmodeus. His real name... I don't like, it makes him sound too human. Thorn is it. I really want a book about THORN only though. Same as a book on Savitar. Mysterious sexy asses!
ANYWAY!!!
The plot revolves around Paden's sister, Cameron Jack trying to find his brother with the help of the Sea Witch's crew. By the way, the ship is futtocking real- a real being whose sister is the main villain in the book, maybe the series too. Bitches like that don't die easily. So, Captain Bane, his precious ship (ohoho) and his crew are helping Miss Jack to find Paden, to defeat Vine (the ship Marcelina's sister) and to stop more atrocities from hell to come into our world. Of course, they would fail half of it because there won't be a sequel story if all went futtocking well. The writing style, the action scenes, the meticulous but not long as futtocking descriptions, the dialogues, the characters and the plot twists are PURE Kenyon. I am satisfied, though every time they mentioned Savitar or Acheron, I anticipated a cameo. Maybe in the next ones. I don't mind if they don't appear though, Thorn is enough. And him fighting alongside the Archangels Gabriel and Michael is everything. I wonder if we'll get to see them in future books- the Dark Hunters series. One thing that took me of the futtocking guard was the relationships between the main and the side characters. Love I mean. I was totally expecting Cam with Devyl. Boy I was so wrong! Gladly wrong though. I can't wait to read the next book on Cam and her merman story. As for Captain Bane, he got what he deserved, a better and loving life. Hopefully we see them in present day stories, though the voyage during the Pirates' time was riveting. It was definitely an adventure!! The hell-chasers are definitely my favourite after the Dark Hunters. 5 Stars for Deadmen Walking! I learned new words and can't wait to use them daily, especially futtocking (i guess you've noticed by now how much im loving using this amazing word). We keep sailing with Death doesn't bargain (BOOK 2)

Warcross by Marie Lu
Warcross book 1
I am obsessed! This is officially my first time reading Marie Lu’s and I love it. The nuance of the plot, the characters and the writing style slayed. I could not stop reading. I was glued to my pages, even during a family dinner. OBSESSED! And of course, after I devour this book like a proper Booklion, I had a bad book hangover. I HAD to get Marie Lu’s other books.
Our main female protagonist is a hacker and nearly homeless and penniless, namely Emika Chen who sports a rainbow hair. Life has definitely not been great for her. She is beautiful, smart and doesn’t give up. One bold move on the famous interface Warcross, and she becomes a Celebrity. We're talking Black Mirror meets Ready Player One. At first when Warcross is being introduced and described, I was in awe. I wanted to have this world. I live practically online - chat, ebooks, streaming movies and shows. So, having this while walking, doing daily chores and HAVING A DIGITAL PET by your side while walking on the street. Ah man! THE DREAM! And then when I kept up reading, understanding what the Creator of Warcross wanted to do. I don’t like it so much. I do understand why he’s doing it and he is scarred from losing his brother, but there is a price to wanting to control others for personal gain. It never ends well. Hideo Tanaka - our young and genius Creator of Warcross. Billionaire probably. He has the three S as in many protagonist or antagonist or second lead, I mean Sexy, Smart and Secretive. At first, you are in awe with this intelligence and then you're in total WTF mode by the end of the book.
Man, I did not see that twists at the last game. FREAKING FLABBERGASTED. I kept staring at the words and my head was screaming WHAT THE FUCK!! I have sooo many questions by the end of the book. Of course, it’s a cliffhanger. It's the first book of a series or trilogy which I discovered while adding my review on Goodreads. I don’t know why I thought it was a stand-alone book. I was waiting and wondering what could happened in the end. BUT NOPE…. IT HAD TO BE A NEW SERIES. I sound like I am complaining but I am not. I am just more confuzed which mean it's a damn good book.
And now... I WANT THE NEXT BOOK. *pterodactyl screech* I want to know why WHY Zero doesn't confront Hideo. How was he kidnapped? Was he even kidnapped? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? And will Em forgive Hideo? or Will there be a love triangle with Zero, Hide and Em? WHAT? ugh, the frustrations of it all! p.s: I am still Team Hide.. until I read more on Zero
Favourite Quotes
While you are reading, you're engrossed into the plot and you're walking along the line with the characters, and something happens, a line or a sentence catch your attention more than the others.
You feel the need to write it down, to highlight it, to copy paste it- SOMETHING to immortalize these words.
I personally have a wall of things I keep sticking my favourite book quotes, authors' personally sayings on.
Here are some of my favourite ones so far (because it keeps on piling and piling the more books I read):
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." ― Albert Einstein
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." ― Groucho Marx
“Half the night I waste in sighs, Half in dreams I sorrow after The delight of early skies;In a wakeful doze I sorrow For the hand, the lips, the eyes, For the meeting of the morrow, The delight of happy laughter, The delight of low replies.” ― Alfred Tennyson, Maud, and other poems
“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ― Robert A. Heinlein
“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ― E.B. White
“You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.” ― Chris Rock
“Only dumb people try to impress smart people. Smart people just do what they do.” ― Chris Rock
“If writers wrote as carelessly as some people talk, then adhasdh asdglaseuyt[bn[ pasdlgkhasdfasdf.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish
“Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” ― Orson Welles
“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.” ― Dorothy Parker
“I think I've discovered the secret of life -- you just hang around until you get used to it.” ― Charles M. Schulz
"Deserve your dreams." ― Octavio Paz
"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools" ― Ernest Hemingway

In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.
