Misty Falls By: Joss Stirling

    This book is every genre put into one amazing story. It has romance, paranormal phenomena, mystery, conspiracy, comedy. The whole nine yards!!

    The book started out strong and kept up a strong vibe. I was never bored and I wanted to read it during every free, waking moment I had. The characters were so strong and they didn't mesh together like other books. It seemed like I was reading real accounts rather than fiction. Misty was a truly relatable character and is one of the few characters people should aspire to be; honest, quirky, and confidant.

    I highly recommend this book for everyone!! It will be very persuasive.

Books!!

I recently recieved some books to review kindly sent to me by Lewis Conlin of the Oxford University Press!! So Christmas reviews will be coming!!

My reviews are slow recently because I am running out of books to review and my funds are low. But I'm trying very hard!! 

But without further ado here are the books I was sent!!

Flam bards Divided will e the first one I'll be reading.

Hugs and kisses and Christmas wishes!!

Lovely, Dark and Deep By: Amy McNamara

    This book made me fall into it from chapter one. This book was beautifully written! It was a soft and sad book, but not to the point where you were bored. This book kept my attention throughout. 

    But there were a few things that bothered me. Although the main character, Wren, was going through a state of depression, her character still stayed a bit flat. This was supposed to be a character driven book but the character stayed the same for a lot of the book. Also the way the book ended was too open ended. I actually thought there was a sequel and was greatly disappointed to find that there wasn't.

Well written, but not perfect.

Regretful apologies

I am so sorry for not posting recently!! I've been reading less lately because school is my top priority right now. I promise I will be reviewing more often after the Christmas season!! I've not forgotten about you!! 

Hugs, kisses, and Christmas wishes!!

Maya

Apologies

I'm trying to review as fast as I can, my little readers. I am still in school and my homework is taking up a lot of my time. I'm going as fast and my eyes will let me!! I promise I haven't forgotten!!

Happy Reading!!

Rise By: Anna Carey

    This book was not what I expected. I was hoping for Caleb to come back earlier in the book. This book was good in the prospects of character development, but the plot was pretty flat. The end was good but I would have preferred more Caleb scenes. This book wasn't as god as I was hoping.

Alpha Divided By: Alieen Erin

    This book disappointed me. I was excited for this big bonding ceremony then the fight at the tribunal and fighting the witches. But it wasn't as exciting as I would have hoped. The pace was slow and everything that happened was predictable. I would have enjoyed more plot twists and mystery. 

    But this book did have some good aspects! The characters made decisions that made sense to the plot line and there was a nice flow to the story. A Goodish book, but I'm hoping The next book will be a bit better.

Darker Still By: Leanna Renee Hieber

    I absolutely loved this book!! It was engaging, well paced, and like nothing I've read before!! This is the only book I've read that didn't have a plot line similar to another book. It was wonderful and a real page turner!! Perfection!!

Frostfire By: Amanda Hocking

    **This is an advanced copy**

     This book was fantastic!! Bryn's character started strong and carried it out throughout the book. I loved that Bryn didn't make the stupid decisions that most Heroines do in books.

The plot sounded interesting. Then I started reading and it was like I fell down the rabbit hole that led to this book. I was absorbing the book at a fast rate. I couldn't stop reading it!

I didn't find any real faults in the story and that makes me so happy!! A wonderful blend of fantasy and adventure!!

The Geography of You & Me By: Jennifer E. Smith

    This book had the best description of the places Lucy and Owen travelled. I felt like I actually was in Tahoe and Prague and Edinburg. The places were so vivid, but never overshadowed the main characters. Although I wish the ending was carried out a little more this was a very good book. A great read! 

BOOK REVIEW(S) COMING

I know I haven't been posting reviews lately and I apologize, I've just run out of books to read or review. BUT WORRY NO MORE!! I just recieved my first advanced readers copy that is paperback. I'm so excited to read it!! It sounds amazing!!

The review will be posted within the next two weeks because I have just started The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith. But after that, I'm diving right in!!

Happy reading!!

Avoiding Alpha By: Aileen Erin

    This book made me so happy!! It went above and beyond the usual sequel. This book was Much better than to be expected. And, personally, Meredith is my favorite character. So seeing her curse broken and her happy make me have this light feeling In my chest. An EXCELLENT read!

Becoming Alpha By: Aileen Erin

    I've heard great things about this book. And I found it was quite good, but it was talked up more than it should have been. This book was very good and unique. But I just found the story was predictable at some parts and a bit generic. A good read! But not what I was expecting.

Armageddon By: Christina Bauer

    *Sob* NO MAXON!!! *Sob* this book made me cry and pulled on my heart strings so many times. This book was soooo good.This book made me fall I'm love with the character of Hildy and hate Conner even more than I already did. I mean COME ON!! HIS GRANDSON'S SOUL!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? This book did not disappoint. HIGHLY recommended.

The Rosie Project By: Graeme Simsion

    This book was really good!! I enjoyed this book from beginning to end.  It was sweet and made me feel happy. Rosie is so cool!! I love how her character stays the same and stands her ground. Such a good book!!

Guardian of the Gate By: Michelle Zink

    I LIED!! DIMITRI IS MUCH BETTER THAN JAMES!!! This book is really good and intense and romantic. It's everything right in a book. This is, by far, the best sequel I've ever read. This book is definitely a good read!!

Prophecy of the Sisters By: Michelle Zink

    This book was really creative. I liked the prophecy and how it brought out the true selves of the sisters. I think it's cute how James keeps chasing his childhood love. Soooo cute!

Anna and the French Kiss By: Stephanie Perkins

    This was a read-on-a-whim kind of book. But surprisingly, it was an enjoyable book. I found the main character a bit of whiner but other than that this is a good book. It takes place in Paris (which is fantastic) and is about a girl going to school there. Interesting story.

Just One Night By: Gayle Forman

    Now I will say, this is a short novella. This is not a full book. Although this book was nice, it seemed like fluff. Yes it somewhat tied up loose ends. But I would have enjoyed this much more if it was a full length novel. 

Neverland By: Anna Katmore

    This book was so neat!! I loved the switched roles of Captain Hook and Peter Pan. The backstory to them was phenomenal, and the love in the book was mesmerizing! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Excellent job Anna!

Scala By: Christina Bauer

    This book wasn't too bad as far as sequels go. Although, Adair made me want to throw my Kobo across my room quite a lot of the time. It's good to make readers feel things when they read your books, but there's a point when they feel a bit too much. Now that's my only complaint with the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Myla really is a fighter and I like that. Most heroines are weak then get a bit stronger, but not Myla she starts and stays strong. She has a presence in the book that really draws me in. Now I, personally, am someone who isn't a fan of sequels, but this one proved to be better than I expected. Great work Christina.

Angelbound By: Christina Bauer

    OH MY GOSH!! This book is fantastic! This book is action packed and romantic, I swooned many times at the hate turned love relationship of Lincoln and Myla. This book is, hands down, the GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN! This is a book I'm sure even guys would love. Myla is a snarky badass and I love it so much!! A masterpiece!!

This is What Happy Looks Like By: Jennifer E. Smith

    

    This story was a book I ate up hungrily. The story was so addicting, it made you want to read more and more till you had finished the book. I found the romance so cute and the emails dorky and fun. The ending was a bit vague, but other than that, a good book.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight By: Jennifer E. Smith

    I actually found this book super cute!! I loved the characters and how the story didn't just involve weddings, but funerals too. I escpically loved how the main character forgave her dad. So cute! An enjoyable read.

Fair Warning

My posts are going to start to be a little less due to the fact that I've reviewed all the YA books in my personal library and part of my school's. The books I'm going to be reviewing for the next couple of days/weeks are going to be books that authors send me to review. Cinder & Ella was the first.

Happy Reading!

Pure By: Julianna Baggott

    When I first started to read this book I thought this book was kind of boring and typical. Then BAM plot twist to the max!! 

This book was Gruesome at times but a very interesting read at others. I really liked the ways the author made realistic choices when writing her book. A good book to read for English class. 

Cinder & Ella By: Kelly Oram

    OH IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I just finished this book 30 seconds ago and I just have to race about this book. This book was genius! I must have sobbed at least 15 times through this book because I just felt so bad for Ellamara. But then there would be these funny and cute moments between her and Cinder would make me laugh so much! I give this book GODLIKE STATUS IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS. This book is a riot! A book of the century for sure!

Heaven By: Alexandra Adornetto

    I just finished this book about 10 minutes ago and I have to say, this book was good but not great. She just couldn't too Hades. The closure is good and the loss of the wings is badass but it lacked the luster of Hades. Good. But not great.

Apologies!!

Sorry guys!! But I haven't finished the book I'm currently reading. But reviews should pop up within the next few days.

Happy Reading!

Authors, authors, and more authors!!

News readers!! Aileen Erin is going to be sending me her new book cipher which just came out today!! She'll be sending it in about 2 weeks when it's available in paperback. Yay!

Happy Reading!!

Nightstar By: Alyson Noël

    This book is a bit better but basically only two things happen:

- Haven has a hissy fit about Roman being dead so she tries to kill Damen and Jude.

- Ever kills Haven.

That's it. Come on! What's wrong with having a plotline with more than 2 points? You can, and have, done so much better than that Alyson. Not her est work. But it's not terrible.

Shadowland By: Alyson Noël

    I'm sorry, but this book has no substance. The entire plot line is this:

-- Damen and Ever can't be together because Roman screwed up their DNA

-- Damen gives Ever crystals to help her chakras (which do NOTHING)

-- Mystical force field or "layer of energy" is between them so they can somewhat touch.

-- Haven starts to get a hate-on when it comes to Ever.

This book is boring as hell. I don't recommend it. And, luckily you don't need to read it to understand the rest of the series.

Wicked Lovely By: Melissa Marr

    I truly enjoyed reading this book. I had heard and read good things about this book but was hesitant. Then I start to read it and BAM! I'm tossed into the life of Aislinn Foy, a girl who can see faeries. But these are no thumbelina faeries. These are hard-core, sneaky, conniving little beasts. But what makes everything better is Seth. Some may not agree, but I think Seth and Aislinn moments make the book great! I think you'll enjoy this book.

More News!

More news guys!! The author Anna Katmore is going to be sending me her book(s) to read and review!! 

Happy reading!

Fallen in Love By: Lauren Kate

    I'm glad Lauren wrote this book. And I espically like that she didn't just do Luce and Daniel's Valentine's Day story, but the supporting character's stories aswell. Like Arriane's story. It was so sad. Very good read. 

Eve By: Anna Carey

     I bought this book on a whim. I thought the story sounded interesting, so I was going to try it. I had no idea what I was in for!! This book is a dystopian novel. It was the first I had ever read. I think it was what got me hooked on romance novels. I love how Caleb and Eve interact with each other. Great job Anna!

Hades By: Alexandra Adornetto

    What. What? WHAT!?!? HE LITERALLY DRAGS HER TO HELL!?!? This author it wonderful!! She has a true talent when it comes to writing YA Romance! First, she falls in love and is pestered by a fallen angel who wants her. THEN HE OPENS UP THE FREAKING HIGHWAY AND DRIVES INTO HELL ON A MOTORCYCLE WITH BETH AS HIS PRISONER!?!? Talk about badass!! Honestly, I don't even know how Alexandra is gonna too this book. YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!!

Halo By: Alexandra Adornetto

    This actually was yet another bargain book I bought at Chapters for maybe $6.00. But I'm very glad I did!! Before I say anything about this book I would like to say that the author was 16 when her book was published. I think that that is a very remarkable thing. Kudos to her! But anyway, this book starts off as these angels coming to this small town to rid it of evil dwellings, blah, blah, blah. But then *plot twist* a fallen angel and a human are both in love with her and are both fighting for her! But one part I don't like is how Xavier gets all moody by seeing that pic of Beth on Facebook. Like come on put your big girl panties on and talk to her first!! But other than that, great book!!

Passion By: Lauren Kate

    She goes back in time to see their history together!? This is a massive plot twist. I LOVED IT!! It was such a creative way to explain Luce and Daniel's history. Two thumbs up Lauren. Two thumbs up.

Torment By: Lauren Kate

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was action-packed, romantic, and. Had a kick-ass plot line!! One of the rare sequels that wasn't terrible!! I loved it!! Great job Lauren!! Keep up the good work!! I highly recommend this book!

The Infinite Moment of Us By: Lauren Myracle

    I'm sorry if you guys don't agree with this, but this book is terrible!! I will say I read it all the way through just to be sure. But the storyline is crap and the ending is ridiculously stupid!! This is one of the worst books I've ever read. Do not read it!

Finale By: Becca Fitzpatrick

    A war against fallen angels!? Really!? Then banishing them all to hell!? Are you serious!? This book's title is so accurate because a finale is a huge ending, and this is a huge ending!! This series was worth the read for the ending of this book. ITS ADORABLE!!! A must read!!

Fallen By: Lauren Kate

    I actually got this as an impulse book buy/grading present. And I convinced my dad to get me the second one aswell. I have only one thing to say, best. Buy. EVER! This is another fallen angel book, but it's on a new take. It changes how you look at the banishing of the angels from heaven. This book is a GREAT BOOK!! I highly recommend this book!

Silence By: Becca Fitzpatrick

    Amnesia!? Really!? Becca Fitzpatrick you genius!! That was the biggest plot twist I had ever read!! And one of the best!! That book was equal parts sexy and thrilling!! You would be crazy not to read it!!

Crescendo By: Becca Fitzpatrick

    I found this as a sort of foreshadowing book for the rest of the series. Although this book was good, it wasn't fantastic like the book before it. I think it would be best for you to read this book so you can understand what happens in the rest of the series and who Rixon is.

Hush hush By: Becca Fitzpatrick

    THIS BOOK IS VERY CLOSE TO PERFECTION!!! I love this story! Definitely one of my favorites!! I just find this book so unique and ridiculously well-written! A true Jem! You'll enjoy! I promise!

Swear By: Nina Malkin

    This is the sequel to Swoon and I am so glad they made it! I love how Dice's story continues! And oh. My. Glob. Sin's backstory is so good!! Perfection! Worth the read!

Swoon By: Nina Malkin

    I actually got this as a bargain book. It was one of those compulsive book buys. But it actually turned out to be a really good book!! The storyline made complete sense without being predictable or boring. And I loved the characters! Wonderful!

News!

I have something exciting to tell you!! Raincoast Publishing is going to be sending me a book to review! I'm so excited! I'll update you guys when I know more!

Happy reading!

Haven By: Kristi Cook

    I just finished this book today, and all I have to say is wow! I loved this book! It was such an interesting way to look at vampirism. And the school is one I would LOVE to be in! Wonderful!

Scarlet By: Marissa Meyer

    This is the coolest book series ever! First Cinderella, now red riding hood!? And they're in the same series! This is do cool! The re-telling is clear and not confusing. A great book to read!

Cinder By: Marissa Meyer

    This is the most interesting and unique re-telling of Cinderella I've ever read. The characters were vivid and the world real. This was an enchanting story full of bravery, risk, and love. A true Jem.

City of Heavenly Fire By: Cassandra Clare

    Really Jace? Condoms in a demon realm? But anyways. WHAT AN ENDING! This book leaves no loose ends and wraps up the series perfectly. But now that it's over I'm kind of sad. But worth the read!

City of Lost Souls By: Cassandra Clare

    HOW IS IT POSSIBLE IT GOT BETTER!? This book. I. Just. I have no words to explain how I feel about this besides, "SEBASTIAN NO! INCEST IS NOT OKAY!" That may sound weird but Clary kicks his butt so it's okay. I loved this book!
