Here's a very short list of books I can't wait to read. I'm mostly excited about the conclusion of the Kate Daniels series with <i>Magic Triumphs</i> as well as the ending of a super dramatic trilogy The Thousandth Floor- <i>The Towering Sky</i> but I will check out Catwoman as well.<br />

<br />
<br />
I always keep on giving Colleen Hoover chances. Sometimes her books give me the feels but most of the time, they don't. I guess she's one of those authors who's premise sounds very interesting but the execution ends up being lackluster.<br />
<br />
Gimme more Vlada! She is cool and ruthless. I love her. <i>Bright We Burn</i> is a must read, in my opinion.<br />
<br />
One of side characters from the Darkest Minds trilogy is getting her own story. I feel like there's no need for this book but publishers are trying to milk the franchise. There's also a movie coming out soon- "We better get that coin!"<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir | June 12th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews | June 26th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Save the Date by Morgan Matson | June 5th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Gosh! I'm so excited about <i>Save the Date</i>, you have no idea. I hope Morgan Matson publishes one contemporary novel every summer for at least the next ten years. It would make me so happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i>Iron and Magic</i>- Please, ignore the hideous cover. I'm sure the book will be full of kickass action scenes with the signature Andrews humor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I don't plan to miss <i>A Reaper at the Gates</i> either. Though, I have to admit, I have forgotten everything about the previous books and I'm praying for a short summary in the first few chapters. </div>

Can't believe it's almost summer. May is one of my favorite months in the year mostly because of nice weather, barbecue season and cherries! I love me some cherries. It's such an underrated fruit. </div>

Now let's look at new releases I plan to read/see in the month of May. </div>

I don't know about you but for me, March flew by so fast. I've been reading more in March. There were days when I would be finishing up one book a day. I've read 54 books out of 100 for this year's Goodreads challenge. The much neglected graphic novels also got some time. Seems like a win.<br />
<br />
Now let's take a look at April new releases I plan to read.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gayle Forman is one of the authors whose work I automatically read. I Have Lost My Way was suppose to come out in March but it was pushed to April for some reason. No worries, I will read it as soon as I can get my greedy hands on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Becky is also on my auto-read list. I love her upbeat novels with interesting characters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jenn Bennett is also on my auto-read list since <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30312700-alex-approximately" target="_blank">Alex, Approximately</a>. That book was bursting with cuteness and it seems her newest novel is getting a lot of great reviews so my expectations are high. You better not disappoint, Jenn! </div>

Yes! A Quiet Place is finally coming out! I'm so excited about this movie. Apparently, some critic spoiled the whole film before it was even released. What a bad move. Who's going to invite you to their premiere if you're not doing your job the way you're suppose to?! </div>

It seems March is blessing us with so many exciting new releases. The one I'm looking forward the most is Restore Me. I live for Warnette. Can't freaking wait!!! Just a couple of days left! </div>

February flew by so fast if you ask me. During it I started my very first bullet journal and I even started watching a Turkish soap which became a huge part of my daily daydreaming, read obsessing. I haven't been this invested into something since Reylo. </div>

I'm going to need some help getting through all those book after March 6th releases drop. I can't possibly read them all till the end of the month. Maybe I could do it, if I challenge myself. </div>

I haven't participated in this meme since 2014! :O It's good to be back! I probably won't post every week.<br />
<br />
This week's topic is <b>Books that have been on my TBR the longest and I still haven't read</b>. Most of my picks are embarrassing cause I'm really bad at reading books with a lot of pages.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <b>Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman</b> - I have the boxed set. Since 2012, I think. So embarrassing. </div>
2. <b>The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson </b>- The case of huge book syndrome. I have the first 5 books and they are collecting books on my bookshelf. Has anyone read it?<br />
3. <b>The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan</b> - Got this as a early b-day present from mom a couple of years ago and I've been avoiding it cause I don't want to be disappointed. All of my friends seem to adore this book.<br />
4. <b>The Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent</b> - I kind of want to read past book 1 because of Tod. He's a cutie.<br />
5. <b>Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick </b>- Ehhh... This series. This came during the Twilight craze so the romance is super unhealthy.<br />
6. <b>Going Bovine by Libba Bray</b> - Dust collector. I love Libba but her books are loooong.<br />
7. <b>Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta</b> - It's a known fact Marchetta is amazing and allegedly, so is this trilogy. Will read it before I die. For now they're dust collectors.<br />
8.<b> Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor</b> - I'm probably the only one who hasn't finished this trilogy. I wasn't a fan of the first book. :/ It was meh for me.<br />
9. <b>Beauty Queens by Libba Bray</b> - Libba, Libba, Libba. I want to read this but the size is turning me off.<br />
10. <b>A Little Wanting Song by Cath Crowley</b> - My friends love this book and it's been years since they read it. What am I waiting for? I dunno.<br />

Can't believe it's already February! Time sure is flying! I feel like November was just around the corner. Anyway, here's my very short Monthly List for February. I don't read adult novels on the regular anymore but some of these have caught my eye so I decided to put them on my already huge pile.<br />

Black Panther directed by Ryan Coogler | February 16th<br />
Annihilation directed by Alex Garland | February 23rd<br />
<br />
I'm so excited about Annihilation mostly because of the director. I love everything Alex Garland touches. He only recently started directing but he's been a screenwriter of some one my favorite movies.<br />

Two new shows premiering this month and one, epic show is returning. I recently read Altered Carbon and I wasn't so impressed but I feel like I would love the show. Lucy Hale in a CW show! Yes! Yes! Yes! I hope it's cute and can replace the place in my heart previously held by Hart of Dixie. I need a cute dramedy in my life.<br />

2017 flew by so fast! I can't believe it's already January! My birthday is in 14 days! I'm so excited!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share some of my favorites of 2017. My interests haven't change much. I've always been attracted to sci-fi, superheroes and drama.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Based on the negative things going on in the world, I was afraid we were all going to be nuked and I wasn't going to see <i>Star Wars: The Last Jedi</i>. It's definitely my favorite movie of the year. So many people weren't impressed with it-saying it's too different from the whole series but that's what I loved about it. Plus, there's Reylo, my OTP. I don't use that term loosely. Since I've seen <i>The Force Awakens</i> they've been all I can think about. Reylo is life! I hope no one steals my phone cause I have dedicated folders for Adam Driver, Reylo and Star Wars on there with an embarrassing number of images. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'd recommend you see all of those movies on my list but if you don't have the time to watch them all I suggest you watch <i>Split</i>, <i>Baby Driver</i> and <i>It</i>. I have a soft spot for <i>Valerian</i> as well-so underrated. </div>

TV shows are getting better and better as the time goes by. This year I've been really into these shows. <i>Dark</i> is a German production and I would recommend it to <i>Stranger Things</i> fans. you can't go wrong with a Netflix production, in my opinion. Hulu has been stepping up and released <i>Runaways</i> and the award-winning <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i>. This wouldn't be a Zemira list without a CW show. This time it's <i>Riverdale</i>. As an avid Archie comics lover I am so happy this show exists. </div>

2017 has been a year I discovered Alice Oseman. I have to say she has quickly become one of those authors who's work I will read. I have to give her props for writing about LGBT+ population, especially about my fellow asexuals. We are underrepresented in all media. While we're talking about asexuals, I have to mention Ormsbee's <i>Tash Hearts Tolstoy</i>. This book should not be missed! Also, check out <i>Moxie</i> if you are looking for girl power. </div>

Psychopaths, saints, space battles with and without giant robots, one wilderness life camp, soft winter girlfriends, cults, female assassins and virtual worlds also landed among my favorites. I am drawn to dark things by default. I can't help it. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great start of the year! 2018 is already off with a great start for me because all I've been doing for the past day(January 1st) is reading and listening to audio books. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently read <a href="http://rivetedlit.com/2017/12/28/25-readings-goals-we-set-for-2018/" target="_blank">this</a> post on Riveted and was inspired to complete some of those goals myself. Even though I lost my passion for blogging a long time ago, I still want to do something fun and challenging. I will update this post on the regular as I go through the tasks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are wondering what are my goals, please continue reading. Some are already on the Riveted's list but I wanted to put some of my own.</div>
<br />
1. Read a book with over 500 pages<br />
2. Finish a series you've been meaning<br />
3. Start a new series<br />
4. Read the sequel<br />
5. Re-read a favorite series<br />
6. Re-read an old favorite<br />
7. Read a book written by an author of color<br />
8. Read a book starring a POC<br />
9. Read a book starring an asexual character<br />
10. Read a book with illustrations<br />
11. Read a book out of your comfort zone(historical,retelling)<br />
12. Read a book recommended by a friend<br />
13. Read an anthology<br />
14. Read a book written by a celebrity<br />
15. Read a book with an upcoming adaptation<br />
16. Read a book with an interracial relationship<br />
17. Read a book with a curvy main character<br />
18. Read all the books from an author you admire<br />
19. Read a book featuring an interesting hobby (sports, arts, IT genius,etc.)<br />
20. Read a book where all the plot happens in one day<br />
21. Read a book with a beautiful cover<br />
22. Read a book with an ugly cover<br />
23. Read a book you never finished<br />
24. Read a book written in verse<br />
25. Read a book set in a boarding school<br />
26. Read a long graphic novel<br />
27. Read a book about a superhero<br />
28. Read a book with a long title<br />
29. Read a book with a huge tumblr following<br />
30. Read a space opera<br />
<br />
I didn't put books featuring heavy subjects such as mental illness, abuse, racial issues and religion because I already read those on the monthly basis. Realistic contemporary novels are my jam so this wouldn't be a challenge if they were on the list.<br />
<br />

Ya'll! I've been waiting for <i>The Last Jedi</i> for two years. I've been on the Star Wars tumblr tag ever since I've heard Adam Driver got the role. After <i>The Force Awakens</i> came out I got obsessed in record time and would read fan theories on the daily basis. </div>

Runaways!!!! Even though the show premiered in late November I think I'll binge it in December. I've read the comics when they first came out so waiting a couple of more weeks till I get the chance to see it means nothing. And if you're a fan of Rainbow Rowell you'll be glad to hear she's writing the new chapters of this amazing story. The first 3 issues are already out so check them out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

December releases are pretty underwhelming but I still have a new Star Wars episode. I'm just glad the wait is finally over. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been neglecting my graphic novel collection this year so I'm trying to fix things by reading them more in November and December.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sons of Ares</i> is a prequel to the Red Rising Saga which blew me away in 2016, so if you've missed this, grab your copies. I'm still waiting for the full volume. It makes the reading so much easier and it's cheaper.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we have <i>Locke & Key</i> which is a popular graphic novel from 2003. I didn't get the chance to read it before Halloween but I haven't forgotten about it. It got onto my radar after I read about the Hulu pilot option. Hope it works out for this series this time since it was suppose to happen in 2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Image Comics is my fave comic publishing house and their titles speak to me the most so there's always going to be one of their comic on my to read list. This time it's <i>Southern Cross</i>, a space mystery. I did read the first two issues when they first came out but stopped for some reason. I don't know why because the artwork and coloring are amazing. I especially like the way eyes are drawn. They are so full of life. Beautiful! </div>

Now, I'm not someone who sits around, waiting for an album to drop but I am waiting for this one. I've listened to all of Taylor's albums but the one that made me a true fan was 1989. I love that album so much. I think it has to be one of my all-time favorites. </div>

This is not a new album. It's been out since August but I recently discovered it and it's been on repeat since then. It's playing in my car, while I'm doing my chores and even when I'm cozy, in bed. It's sad to say goodbye to the band. 2018 will be their last active year. Brand New, thank you for 18 years of great music. </div>

Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">
There's only one problem: she's not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel's convinced she's found her solution--Roman, a teenage boy who's haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner. Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other's broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> </span></blockquote>

<br />
<strong><br />Black Iris</strong> reminds me of every Noir film I've adored. <br />
<br />
It's brutal, vengeful and beautiful. It's a battle zone, sanctuary and something close to home for many.<br />
High on imagery and emotion, you're put into situations that are basically montages of obvious elements that point to an obvious conclusion, but the beauty of it all is that space of interpretation, where the book you're reading becomes the book you're loving. <br />
<br />
The narrator is as unreliable as she states and not. She's mysterious and also, not. She's got this darkness in her which is incomprehensible until she opens up all her cards, methodically and that's good because it made the book highly engrossing and quite frankly, addictive.<br />
It begs to be held and read.<br />
The seduction is paramount both above and behind the covers. The seduction of destruction is something which only <i>some</i> writers get right, because if handled incorrectly, it might as well piss readers off. But Leah Raeder clearly knows what she's doing. I've always been a huge fan of her descriptive writing style, but adding the tang of queer romance and vulnerability of vengeance was in my eyes, a homerun.<br />
<br />
Yes it deals with matters of sexuality and sexual identity, but it wasn't treated like it was something sensitive...it just was.<br />
Plus, it was sexy as hell. (Remember, Noir.)<br />
<br />
If you thought a forbidden romance between a teacher and his student was risky? Try dealing with this you all. <br />

Right, so this book. <br />
<br />
Going into this book, I was well acquainted to a lot of things:<br />
<br />
1)I knew what was going to happen because I'd already asked my friend about it and she 'ranted' that the book consisted of not more than a hundred and twenty pages and was basically the first part of a series.<br />
So I bought the kindle edition and not an actual paperbook, so that I don't have to be super pissed about finding a fucking cliffhanger after 100 pages of introduction. *pats self on the back.*<br />
<br />
2)I knew that there were mixed reviews and mostly, negative.<br />
<br />
3)It was a Tarryn Fisher and Colleen Hoover book. Both authors are great in there own sphere with their own lengths of strengths and limitations, but I've always believed that too many cooks spoil the broth. So obviously, I was almost dreading the worst.<br />
<br />
After, I was done reading the book, I felt two things:<br />
<br />
1)<strong>WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?</strong><br />
Duude. That end was all kinds of epic. It was something like looking over a hole because you're curious about its death and hurtling down it because you lost your balance. It's crazy because you can't do anything about it,as much as you'd like something to come and save you from turning into nothing but a puddle of blood, flesh and bones. <br />
I don't mind the cliffhanger all that much, except that it got me really excited for the next part. I mean I guess I would have been pissed off if I had read it earlier and had to wait for long. <br />
It's perfect because right now, I just want to know what happens next, but also don't want to because I need the data to settle down. <br />
<br />
2)<strong>PRIDE.</strong><br />
Because I'm such a smart cookie. *pats kindle*<br />
<br />

And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all.

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I made a promise to myself about reading more books I find interesting because, you see, I'm an impulsive reader and tend to change my mind in a second. Usually, those 'interesting' books end up destroying me completely which might be the reason why I avoid them in the first place. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When I first started reading All the Bright Places I was expecting to have my heart broken but at the same time I kept thinking things surely wouldn't go there. I won't reveal the ending because that would just be mean. Read it and find our for yourself. Will it make you cry or smile? </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">As someone who's been dealing with depression and bipolar disorder as well as ADHD I could see so much of myself in Finch. He's the side of me I try to hide from my family and friends. In fact, no one in my life doesn't know any of this about me, only the friends I met here, on Goodreads. Finch is impulsive, a true fighter, sensitive, fun and a bit strange. His energy is simply contagious and it made me want to be his friend. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Violet on the other hand is his total opposite. She after losing her sister in a car accident she retreats into herself, breaks up with her boyfriend and stops hanging around her friends. In a way I thought Violet and Finch were a perfect pair. Like fire and ice. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Elle Fanning was cast as Violet and you don't even know how much sense that makes. It's like Violet is Elle. Can't wait to see who's going to play Finch. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I loved the fact this book addresses so many problems teens these days deal with-suicidal thoughts, bullying, abuse, eating disorders... I could list so many reasons why you should read but I feel like the most important one would be- read it because of yourself. Read it because you need to be aware of the hidden world around you. </span></span></div>

With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Under constant surveillance at home and at school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James. He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in. And The Program is coming for them.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Last night I was browsing Goodreads, looking for something interesting to read and The Program caught my eye. Sure, I've heard of it before but I wasn't so sure if it would be something I usually enjoy. Since I'm a risk taker I decided to read it the next morning. I didn't expected to be so engrossed in Sloane's world. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Sloane's </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">surrounded by fear every day of her life since her older brother killed himself. Every third teen is suicidal so the government developed The Program which helps teens 'forget' about their problems. One of Sloane's friends, Lacey, is one of those rehabilitated teens. Lacey's boyfriend, devastated when Lacey doesn't recognize his kills himself, leaving Sloane and her boyfriend James to fend for themselves. They can't trust their parents because they fear they would end up brainwashed like Lacey so they only trust each other. After not being able to endure the pain any longer, James starts cutting himself which only results in him being sent to The Program. When he gets back, he doesn't remember Sloane and her depression only grows stronger. Her parents send her to the rehabilitation and we get to witness how the process actually works. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">A lot of other reviewers mentioned Sloan not being a strong character but I disagree. She was doing her best. Take note she didn't had the chance to grieve over the death of her brother, she also lost all of her friends and her boyfriend. She had no idea who is trustworthy inside the facility. She did fight to keep her memories from being erased and that was all she could've done. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">James was charming and fun despite living in such a dreary world. He was there for Sloane, even after the treatment, when they didn't know each other. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Realm was also interesting in his own way. He develops connection with Sloan while she's being brainwashed. He's the only person who didn't mind having a fresh start so that even made me want to want to more about his past. Hopefully, more will be revealed about him in the sequel. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">That epilogue shocked me. Didn't see the twist coming. The repetition of the scene was well done. I still can't believe it happened. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Despite the lack of action which I usually crave, I couldn't put this book down. It's not hard to picture something like this happening in the not so distant future, which made it even scarier. Even now, so many people medicate themselves to dull the physical and mental ache. It was smart of the author to tackle this issue. </span></span></div>

<b>Dangerous Boys by Abigail Haas</b><br /><b>Release Date</b>: August 14th, 2014<br /><b>Publisher: </b>Simon and Schuster UK<br /><b>My Ratings:</b> 5 out of 5 stars!<br />
<br />
<b>synopsis:</b><br /><i><span class="elementTwo" id="freeText3825425548214438496" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Three teens venture into the abandoned Monroe estate one night; hours later, only two emerge from the burning wreckage. Chloe drags one Reznick brother to safety, unconscious and bleeding; the other is left to burn, dead in the fire. But which brother survives? And is his death a tragic accident? Desperate self-defense? Or murder?<br /><br />Chloe is the only one with the answers. As the fire rages, and police and parents demand the truth, she struggles to piece together the story of how they got there-a story of jealousy, twisted passion, and the darkness that lurks behind even the most beautiful of faces…</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span></i><br />

This is how the theory went:<br /><br /><em><strong>What if the world we're living in is actually a dream and what if, the time you consume 'drugs' is the time when you actually see the reality? </strong><br />How do you know the difference between what's normal and what's not and what if we're all part of a giant master plan and yadda yadda yadda...</em><br />When I came across this particular theory, even if it may seem a little diabolical (maybe), I was floored. As I thought more about it, I had honest to god goosebumps all over my arms. How much do we ever really know? As put aptly by a character in the novel,<br /><br /><em>“Don’t you know? There’s no such thing as the truth.’‘We all walk around trapped in our own subjective consciousness, experiencing the same events through a totally different lens.”</em><br /><br />Quiet and a series of shiver attacks up my spine and to the whole of my body.<br /><strong>THIS</strong> is what I felt when I finished reading the book.<br />I was floored and I was certifiably, without any doubt, <em>spooked</em>.<br />Twisted characters, twisted plot, twisted end. Oh mama, I knew I was signing up for the highway to mindfuck.<br />Abigail Haas with her amazing flair for piecing together the good, bad and worse has put together a story I know I can't ever begin to put into words, let alone talk about. I'm surprised at the complexity in her story telling.<br />I've been spooked by ghosts, spirits, uncertain futures and pasts, unreliable characters and just about everything. But what manages to spook me the most is the twisted side of the human mind. It actually makes me wonder...can this be possible too? And if yes, then I'm glad that it's limited to the pages that I hold between my hands.<br /><br />See, I'm already on my way.<br />Bye world, it was nice knowing you. Also, read this book. It's awesome.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span><br />

The girl who kills gods. But all she wants is for the god she loved and lost to return to life. If she can't have that, then the other gods will burn, starting with his murderer, Aphrodite.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The alliance between Cassandra and Athena is fragile. Cassandra suspects Athena lacks the will to truly kill her own family. And Athena fears that Cassandra's hate will get them ALL killed.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The war takes them across the globe, searching for lost gods, old enemies, and Achilles, the greatest warrior the world has ever seen. As the struggle escalates, Athena and Cassandra must find a way to work together. Because if they can't, fates far worse than death await.<br /><br /><br /></span></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I'm trying to remember why I liked </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Antigoddess</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Troy.

Two camps have formed. One led by Hera and Aphrodite and other, led by Athena and Hermes. While one has no regard for human existence, the others in their own ignorant way do. Thrust in this mix is the background of the Trojan War and the reincarnations of pivotal characters from the Trojan War to aid the destiny and fate of these dying gods. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">First off, everything here was simply a mess.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Even Kendare's writing, which might I add has always been brilliant, couldn't salvage this terrible broth of disaster.

<b>With This Heart</b><br /><b>Author:</b> R.S Grey<br /><b>Releasing Date:</b> April 6th, 2014<br /><b>Publisher:</b> Createspace<br /><b>My ratings: 4 out of 5 stars.</b><br /><br /><b>synopsis:</b><br /><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">If someone had told me a year ago that I was about to fall in love, go on an epic road trip, ride a Triceratops, sing on a bar, and lose my virginity, I would have assumed they were on drugs. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Well, that is, until I met Beckham. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Beck was mostly to blame for my recklessness. Gorgeous, clever, undeniably charming Beck barreled into my life as if it were his mission to make sure I never took living for granted. He showed me that there were no boundaries, rules were for the spineless, and a kiss was supposed to happen when I least expected. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Beck was the plot twist that took me by surprise. Two months before I met him, death was knocking at my door. I'd all but given up my last scrap of hope when suddenly, I was given a second chance at life. This time around, I wasn't going to let it slip through my fingers. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">We set out on a road trip with nothing to lose and no guarantees of tomorrow. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Our road trip was about young, reckless love. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The kind of love that burns bright. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The kind of love that no road-map could bring me back from. </span></i><br /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Road Trip, unbelievable but delicious boys, believable protagonists, crazy experiences, dreamy nights and drum rolls, you have a phenomenally surprising winner.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I've always wondered. Are books a haven of reality mixed with magic or are they magic mixed with a teaspoon of reality? I wonder because most of the times I find myself trying to identify with the protagonist and his or her experiences and on some days, with some books, I find that I can't. But that doesn't mean that my venture isn't fruitful. Maybe on most days, books balance both it's fictional and non-fictional elements in mysterious methods and when that balance goes in sync with my emotions and opinions, I find myself happy and satisfied.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">It happened with this one.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">There are so many things that are so hard for me to believe. Yet I found myself agreeing with it and just let it be. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I was so taken with the journey that Abby Mae and Beckham found themselves on that I found myself needing to go on a roadtrip myself. But of course, a guy like Beck is never going to turn up out of thin air and ask me randomly, if he could go on a roadtrip with me. Reality and its woes. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Or could it?

It was fun,very romantic and happy. Although there were sad elements, they didn't affect me the way they should have, but yet again, I was okay with that too. I would have loved to eliminate the last chapter but then again, I guess I'm just nitpicking. Great protagonists, fun story which read like a journey and the reminder that really, you live only once.<br /><br /></span><br />

<b>Dreams of Gods and Monsters</b><br /><b>Author:</b> Laini Taylor<br /><b>Release date: </b>April 8th, 2014<br /><b>Publisher: </b>Little, Brown and Company<br /><b>My Ratings:</b> 3.5 out of 5<br /><br /><b>synopsis:</b><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Common enemy, common cause.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">And, perhaps, for themselves. Toward a new way of living, and maybe even love.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz ... something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stormhunters are gathering as if summoned, ceaselessly circling, and a deep sense of wrong pervades the world.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">What power can bruise the sky?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.<br /><br /></span></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><br />It started out with a tale of an art student with naturally grown and coloured blue hair ,a mysterious connection with a fiery eyed angel, handprints on a door and an inevitable, irreprehensible destiny. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Who would've thought </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">that</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> would have escalated into </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">this</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Laini,dear, what do you eat? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Dreams of Gods and Monsters brought to you classic Laini Taylor and her fantastical works. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">War, blood, creation, destruction, resurrection, death, magic, fate, choice..</span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">oh glory!</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> The list goes on.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Page after page, your emotions were played with, your dreams were shattered and remade and your frustration built.

Dilemma there, dilemma here, dilemma everywhere and what did you do as you stood by, involved and enchanted by their misery, trials and tribulations?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">YOU SCREAMED.

You wanted the fucking dilemma to be over already. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">There are two things that you must derive from this.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">One, this book was painfully good. Two, this book was painfully </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">long</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Look, I get it. You can't just have a war and sunshine and few kisses and blah to seal the deal. I get your need to add another sub-plot associated with another sub-plot to make this book awesome and better than its predecessors.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But you forget, less is more. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">This book should've finished 100 pages before it actually did. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The starting few chapters were slow but likable. Holding onto a ginormous hardcover, you as a reader, already know that this will be a long journey to cover. But as you go by and delve more, you start to realise how ridiculously unnecessary many aspects of the novel were and that's when you're painfully pissed off. You keep asking yourself again and again: 'how much more?'</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I would've never expected this to happen with this book but that's maybe because my expectations were so high with this one and that end? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">God. No. Just no.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">After a tedious yet enjoyable journey, you do not expect things to be so, how do I say, slimy?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I like how the book ends on a note of uncertainty. I love how you don't know what the future holds for these few characters that you have come to love other than the fact that right now, in this moment, they're exactly where they need to be. Buuut, no.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">But here's what so magical about this one. Even after its torpid pace and unwanted hundred chapters, the very last page, the finale, left me happy and satisfied. It left me nestling the hardcover near my chest and I felt my heart breaking once more, like it always does, when great things, like they always do, come to an end.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">So what if I and the novel don't agree with each other?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">As romances go, we're indisputably and inexplicably in love and it feels pretty damn awesome.</span><br />

<i><strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever.</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Teren Santoro works for the king.</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society.</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.</span></i><br />

<strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Unconventional, original and awesome.</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Marie Lu, I present to you lots of chocolate chip cookies and Cadbury dairy milk chocolates. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Now, manufacture the next one, as soon as possible. Please.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">My ensnared brain will not stop the parrot talk unless you do so. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I will not go into the details of the plot. I will simply present to you reasons why I loved reading this book and I think after that my work's done.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I always look for novels that excite me on levels that could dominate a particular dimension, like that of tragedy and make it good (painful, just so we're clear.) or it could quite possibly be a diplomat and give me everything in small packages. I don't really care how they do it. I desire only for that excitement.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Now sometimes, it just so happens, that one out of ten books make me wonder, and think a lot about getting down to the intricacies of the structure and depth of the novel as a whole. I start wondering about my relationship with the protagonist, if any, I start looking closely at the point of view of the protagonist and other characters, I start to become extra vigilant, slower and more perceptive to a point where I start making up associations which usually are wrong because I'm intellectually deficient. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">But that's okay.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The point is that </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The Young Elites</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> did that to me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I'm not sure how I feel about the protagonist, Adelina but this much is true, she proves to be one of the most unforgettable, original, complex and realistic protagonist in a long time. I want to wipe one particular event in the course of the book out of my mind and quite possibly out of the book too. Heroes become villains. Villains become heroes. Nothing is black and white and while I don't usually like multiple POVs, I absolutely ate it up in this one. Complexities. Complexities. Complexities. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Intensity.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I'm kind of dying right now.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Marie Lu, remember. Cookies and chocolates are at stake here, okay?</span><br />

What the didn't count on is the storm which leaves them half frozen and stranded. They find a cabin with two guys already there. They're criminals but Britt and her annoying, bratty friend don't know about this until it's too late. They end up kidnapped and Britt is forced to take them off the mountain while they leave the annoying, bratty friend to die in the cabin. Hah! I don't even feel bad about the possibility of this girl starving and freezing to death because she was such a little princess. She was 'poking the bear' and I was waiting for the moment one of the criminals would snap. While they were with these criminals, the brother of the annoying bratty friend who's also Britt's ex, was trying to find them. He happens to be an expert at backpacking and other outdoorsy stuff. </span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">After the first couple of rocky chapters I couldn't put the book down. It was a constant roller-coaster ride. A true thriller. There aren't a lot of YA thrillers and most prefer romance, paranormal or dystopian stories. </span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">I'm glad I decided to give this book a try. I was pleasantly surprised, mostly about the main character and her growth throughout the novel. Hope Becca continues to write thrillers because this one checked all the boxes, at least in my case. </span></div>
