Awakening by Karice Bolton

I have to give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

This review will contain **Spoilers**

I was okay with this book. It went a little slow for me, and I felt like for a few chapters I was on repeat. But once I got past that, I loved the idea, the plot, the characters, and everything that happens.

I'm not going to lie, the foreshadowing was done great, I didn't expect anything to happen to Athen, at least not in this book. I'm also hoping I can get the next book in the series so I can find out what happens next.

Ana, seems like an okay protagonist. But I do like how she came into her powers quickly. I just wish she hadn't hidden her dreams, for one being that even if she had shared them, nothing would have changed, they couldn't prevent what happened, they can't prevent a legion gathering together, the most the can do is prepare themselves for something bad about to happen, warn the other families to be on high alert.

I loved Arie and Cyril, most Arie, she was just so upbeat, and so into the holiday mood, she had to decorate to houses, and throw a party a week or 2 after they move into their new house.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Athen, I mean he's sweet, and clearly cares about Ana a lot, but he's a lot of the time, it's seems like he's in a competition to show more affection then his sisters boyfriend. A little weird in my opinion. But on top of that, he seems overly cocky, until he gets his ass handed to him that is, then we don't know what he's like. I think they should have started her with learning to fight as soon as possible, since they knew something was up, why would they be okay with leaving her to fend for herself?

Well, oh well, the book is a great read, and I would recommend it if you have or even haven't read any of Bolton's other works. She has a nice writing style, and everything is beautifully written.

My next book is going to be Few Are Angels by Inger Iversen

Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn

I have to give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This review will contain **Spoilers** and **Harsh Language*

This book. This fucking book. I loved it, then I hated it, then I loved it.

I mean, Simon, douche, sweetheart, liar, helpful. Inlove. Omg, like I almost cried when he died and I had to reread the parts after that like 3 times, because I kept just recording to his death. I mean it was horrible, but it helped.

I'm thinking about buying the next book, but I have to save my money. I really oh so very badly want to know what happens to all of the jackers that were left in the camp. Especially Molloy, and I want to see how Kira goes about her life with Raf. I prefered Simon, but no he had to die to protect her.

Raf, of Rafael. I can't even explain him, he's a great person. But unfortunately is a mind reader, so he can't help her, even if she sought his help.

I would recommend this book. Really that's all I have to say.

Uncontrollable by S.R. Johannes

I have to give this book 4 stars out of 5

This review will contain **Spoilers**

This is the second book, right after Untraceable but I feel like it didn't live up to the first one. It is good, but I feel like it was shorter.

Well in this book, Mo is dead, but she thinks, just like with her dad, that Mo is still alive. About half way through you find out he is still alive, when he chases her into the woods and tackles her into the snow. That was like a gasp out loud moment, I didn't really, but if I hadn't already known he was still alive (very obvious, sorry) yes, I would have gasped.

My one complaint. Editing. There were chunks of things missing, like the whole conversation with Wyn about going over there, it wasn't there, but I knew about that because it was in the epilogue I believe, also he talks about it later one.

Also, testosterone is stupid, guys are stupid, but it is what would have happened.

In this book, I prefer neither of them -_- Mo is making stupid decisions left and right, and Wyn is more worried about himself, and his ego.

I would suggest this book, but you do have to understand that there is at least one giant chunk of the book missing, and it feels extremely short.

(Working on more reviews)

Untraceable by S.R. Johannes

I have to give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.

 

This review will contain **Spoilers**

This book was amazing. So amazing I actually bought the next book. I almost never buy a second book, but I couldn't help myself. I just realized I read them 1 immediately after the other, it's going to be hard to keep them separate.

I'm just going to start with the bad parts. It's to easy to predict. I mean, I've read tons of books where they think someone dies, but they end up being alive in the end, because they're hiding with some sort of agency.

I feel that Grace is a quite well thought out character, if very stupid at times. But all normal people make stupid decisions under duress, so she is forgiven.

Wyn. I love his name, like seriously. But he is a priss. And a great friend, if you ignore the fact that he yells at her in the end, even though she didn't kill the person.

Mo, or Morris, I found him annoyingly charming. Although I do have to say I have a thing for british accents. He's an undercover agent, that's another thing I like, and he's always there when Grace needs him most, well until he 'dies' and they tell her not too look at the body on the gurnee.

I would suggest reading this, it's a great book, and I love it. Hopefully you will too.

(I'm going to start on the next review here soon)

Boundless by Cynthia Hand

I'm rating this book a 5 out of 5.
This will contain **spoilers**

I loved this book, it actually made me cry, especially closer to the end. I can't believe how strong Clara has gotten, and how brave she is, and how she never gave up on Tucker. And oh sweet sweet, dumb Tucker, always there at the wrong time.

I hate, hate, hate Jeffery's girlfriend Lucy, and her triplare twin sister Olivia, but they both died so it doesn't matter anymore. I hate Lucy more and more while I read the book, because she was so self important, and she killed Tucker. She also hurt Christian. And Christian was her half brother, and Angela's half sister too, meaning if you do the math, Christian and Angela are half siblings as well.

There are only ever 7 triplare walking on the earth at one time, and Webster is the 7th, and he gets so many people killed, and by the end there are so fewer triplare, I mean there's only like 5. Plus Asael got what was coming to him, a glory sword through the heart, go Clara, sacrificing yourself for Tucker, only to save everyone's lives plus your own. But not to worry the Watchers now belong to Samjeeza, who won't be going after you for quite some time, because you choose to do the right thing, you choose to tell him a story, and he brought you to hell.

I'm so upset that the series is over, I want to keep reading, even though they didn't really leave any unanswered questions, I want to know if Tucker, who came back to life and became a prophet has a longer then normal life, and if Clara and Christian ever get together, what happens to Web and Angela, while they're away from Clara. But oh well, I'll just move onto another book for now.

Currently reading Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk and Demon Glass by Rachel Hawkins. Wish me luck that I finish these soon and post more reviews.

Beautiful Creatures by kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

I'm rating this book a 4 out of 5.
This does contain **spoilers** below.

This was a long book, and due to many complications I didn't finish it as quick as I would have liked to, but I finally did finish it and I'm saying now, it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to read the next one. And my favorite part of this too, is the movie that came out on Valentine's day.

Poor Macon, he died because he loved Lena so much, and I hope her mother got what was coming to her. Hell I even feel sorry for Mrs. Lincoln, and then I think of Link, and what the hell did he say to Ridley that made her not kill Ethan's dad.

I hated Larkin from the beginning, now I see why I did. Stupid illusionist, why would he deceive his family like that, and poor Aunt Del, they can't even think of a way to break it to her that both the children went dark.

At the end of the book it says something about how Lena's eyes are different, one green one yellow, how is she going to hide that, everyone already hates her, and having a different colored eyed is going to make them freak, I mean she isn't an illusionist like Larkin was, God he's an ass. I also already hate, hate hate hate hate, Hunting, aka a blood incubus, aka the dream incubuses brother aka Macon's brother.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I rated this book easily a 5 stars out of five.

I liked this book, and yes that is so obvious to say, it is an amazing book.
**Spoilers Below**

I love Katniss, but I can think of a million things that would've made the book funnier, add romance, keep Peeta not mad at her, and made a lot less sense.

I could find absolutely nothing wrong with this book, and I need to get the second book NOW!!! Not tomorrow, not next week, Now. I have to know what happens between Katniss and Peeta and Gale, and Prim, and their mom, and Haymitch, and everyone else from District 12. I can't wait to read it. Does anyone know a good site to download free e-books so I can get this book now, I was going to use OnRead, but it's not working on my computer right now.

I'm currently reading Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, and Abandon by Meg Cabot, and soon Delirium, and a few other ones. I'm going to go take care of Goodreads right now though so I'm going to go.

Need by Carrie Jones

I rated this book a 4.5

I liked this book, and I keep thinking about it. I love werewolves, and mythical beings.
**Spoilers are HIGHLY likely**

Zara is a really pretty name, and it means princess, which is what she is, a pixie princess. Even though you don't know that until the end. I also love how slow she is, especially with the were thing, and I love her phobias, I used to memorize phobias like her, but then I stopped and I started reading books, laugh out loud.

I loved, I mean absolutely loved loved loved the scene when Nick ran into the woods and told her to go stay in the house, and of course she didn't listen. But think about it, if she did listen think what are the chances she would have found Nick in wolf form, and taken the arrow out and healed him up, oh and my favorite part, how would she have seen him pretty much naked, and him protecting her from her father.

Zara would be a dead goner if Nick and Betty and Devyn weren't looking out for her, and good riddance to bad rubbish, I could tell from the beginning that Ian wasn't a good person, and he proved I was right. I can't wait to read the next book I want to see how much it heats up with Nick, especially with her mom there, I want to see when Devyn heals, I want to see Issie, which happens to be my exact book counterpart.

Well with that said, I should go do my last review, is everyone ready for this, I can't believe I jumped on the bandwagon, oh wait, it's fine, every ones already left it, so it's not as cool anymore, but without further adieu, my next review is The Hunger Games by Suzanna Collins.

Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs

I rated this book a 4.5.

I like this book, and I look forward to reading the next one.
**Spoilers ARE Below**

This is a good book, a really good book. While I was talking with my friends about it I had to keep gushing about the fact that a third of the scenes I'd read in the beginning were fighting scenes with creepy monsters, or whoops I mean demons.

I can't wait to read the next book, I have a few reasons for that. The first reason is that I want to know what happened to Thane. The second reason is I want to see what would happen if Gretchen said yes to Nick, and if Nick can see anything, I mean seriously he saved her from getting impaled by a scorpions tail. Third reason is I want to know if Grace has any luck with Milo. The fourth reason is that I want to know if they rescue Ursula, Euryale, their immortal aunt.

I didn't really like Greer, I don't really like girls like her at all. I can't really find anything bad about the book, so I'm going to move onto my next review, which will be Need by Carrie Jones.

Suicide Notes random note

So I read Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford awhile ago, and since I read it I've had the same thing going through my head. That was the suicide note the one girl left, I can't remember her name for the life of me, and I really can't get it out of my head. I loved the story when I was little, and now it's forever changed, and I found this awesome picture on tumblr, and had to save it to my computer. So now here is that picture, and enjoy the poem/story/suicide note.

And incase you can't read the picture, here are the words:

Seven little crazy kids chopping up sticks.
One burnt her daddy up and then there were six.
Six little crazy kids playing with a hive.
One tattooed himself to death and then there were five.
Five little crazy kids on a cellar door.
One went all schizo and then there were four.
Four little crazy kids going out to sea.
One wouldn't say a word then there were three.
Three little crazy kids walking to the zoo.
One jerked himself too much and then there were two.
Two little crazy kids sitting in the sun.
One took a bunch of pills and then there was one.
One little crazy kid left all alone.
He went and slit his wrists and then there were none.

I find it a little nerve racking since I won't lie, I have cut myself before in the past, and I probably will again in the future. The reason I know this is because I can tell, even if no one else believes me, I have something wrong with me, some major chemical imbalance, I mean I've attempted suffocation myself because I was bored 5 years ago.

But yeah, that's what I haven't been able to get out of my mind for some time now.
I suggest you read Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford, it is a really good LGBTQ book. That and if you do read it, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me what her name was again. I think it started with a C. Okay I'm done rambling.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I rated this book a 4.5.

I really liked this book, as you can tell from the rating. This isn't like my usual books, which are usually parts of series, this is a stand-alone book.
**Spoilers are HIGHLY possible**

I loved the setting. I've never actually been to a circus, but I really, really want to go to one someday, this book only enhanced that feeling. I kept finding it hard to put down, especially at scenes when Marco and Celia were together, or when one in a million things could happen. I loved the Murray twins, Penelope, referred to as "Poppet", and Winston, referred to as "Widget", were especially sweet characters, coming around as babies born when the circus was opened.

I also liked the unforgettable scenes, for instance like
the first lighting of the bonfire, or when the clock first changes, or how it talks about Celia's father, Hector, cutting each of her fingertips open, just to make her heal them.

I got confused once or twice with how the years kept changing, but that's what the chapter starting is for, they list the year right under the chapter title. I found the quotes, and the stories in between, a little distracting, but I did like them, they gave the circus more life then just the story itself, as if you were there.

I think for this being Morgenstern's first book, it was, and still will be a huge success. As now I'm determined to make a little paper model of the circus like on the book, to fit in my hand, then I'm also probably going to make a book mark using the hand and the circus.

As of now I'm reading Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs. Well I should go ta-ta, hope you enjoyed the review.

Matched Ally Condie

I like the book so far, I'm only on Chapter 14 so far. The first couple of chapters went kind of slow but now I'm into it. I can't wait to keep reading it.

On a side note I would never, ever, ever want to live in a society like that. I love pigging out too much, being lazy, and not having to worry too much about my schedule, or who I'm going to marry, or any of the other things they have controlled like that. Its so not something I could live with.

Radiance Alyson Noel

This review is mostly spoilers.

I liked this book, I'd give it a 4.5. It could've been better, I liked the way the characters developed; I had a little bit of experience with Riley from The Immortals series, but I loved Bodhi.

I think the scene with the Radiant boy was absolutely terrifying,  I'm terrified of clowns, and the way they explained it just freaked me out,
"His flaming eyes and bleeding mouth veering closer and closer as a tangle of snakes leapt onto my chair causing me to cringe, squishing back in my seat as far as I could, wishing I could scream, find a way to call for help, but knowing that to do so would only allow admittance to those horrible, whirring instruments. Pressing against the thick canvas straps, struggling against them with everything that I had. But it was not use."
As it explains the snakes have three heads, and the floor is absolutely covered in them, and she's strapped into a dentists chair.

I like the Radiant boy, or more like boys. That was a twist I wasn't expecting, but the way she explained him/them was neat, with the fire in their eyes and giant gaping black holes for mouths, and the only reason they were even still there, made me think of Total Drama Island, because of the fame.

I think it was sad when we got to Bodhi's job, for a few reasons, the first one was that she lost her kids, the second one was that her kids were haunting on the other side of the same castle, and the third reason was that Bodhi took her sorrow and grief, and if he didn't make it he was going to get demoted, and obviously he's a pretty cool person.\

I love how they got Buttercup to fly with them to London, but poor Buttercup, he thought they were leaving him all alone, and he had to face his fears all by himself.  

I think the book could've been a little bit longer, they got a great story in the 178 pages, but I don't like have books that are so small, it just feels weird holding them, but I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm still neutral on it. If the story wouldn't have been good, and it was still short, then I'd definitely lower the rating by a lot.
