A few Reviews + updates

Before I start I'm going to make sure everyone knows, I've been up for almost 24 hours at the time I'm writing these reviews. I can remember events, and situations, but I can't remember names. I'm also bound to make a spelling mistake at some point.

Fate's Exchange by Sasha Leigh

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

This review will contain **Spoilers**

This was definitely interesting, and I would read the next book happily. Sadly however, this review is going to be lacking, as it's been a few days since I've read this book. But I will admit that I like Alyssa.

I hate her friend though, so much so that I can't even remember her name. I don't see why she would just disappear like that, even if they were drifting apart, why would she lead her on? I mean seriously what kind of heartless person does that.

Then after she was upset by that, David had to die. It makes sense though, a balance had to be kept, It says that right in the description, but oh well.

Her old friend gets on my nerves, and yes I can't remember her name either. I can understand, but seriously, does she really think that after a year of bullying and being a bitch, that she can just walk up to her after the most traumatic experience of her life and be her friend again.

Also I have to touch on one subject, when she accidentally kills herself in the first place, she would have felt it before it got too far, even with blood circulation cut off, you still have nerves, and trust me that hurts. Also with blood circulation cut off , she probably wouldn't have bled to death until a lot later.

Aside from the few human decisions in the book that I don't see any sane person making, that book itself was great, the things I listed were in the end of the book, the beginning of the book lacks those problems.

I recommend this book, it's a really good read. It took me a couple days but I had important things to do while I was reading it.


Starfire Angels by Melanie Nilles
I have to give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

This review will contain **Spoilers**

Same as with the first one, it's been a few days, or well a day since I've read this one, but I really liked it. The whole 'Dark Angel' things is always a favorite of mine.

It was made even better with the inside joke by her 'Dark Angel' Obsessed friend, I actually giggled out loud and it was totally deserved.

Also I probably would have questioned my hands a long time ago, that's not a normal marking, and I would never believe a human being could have been born with that marking on their hands.

I don't know how I feel about the Starfire, Aside from happy that they killed Pallin, seriously, the dude had to die. Also it bothers me, if he's not able to touch her, because of the starfire, how was he able to rape her in the first place,.

I loved the reporter aspect, I mean, I know how reporters can be, and they'll do anything to get a story. And that was a break through story. Or would have been, had she stuck to most of her business, and hadn't been right there.

Again, I recommend this book also, just be prepared for some grammatical errors. Nothing serious. Also this took me less then 12 hours to read.

Dollhouse by Anya Allyn
I have to give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

This review will contain **Spoilers**

Yes. No. Wait, what. Yes read it, no I hated the cliffhanger, and I have to read the next book.

This book, just this book. There were some grammatical errors, but I just skipped over those.

This was amazing, I rarely venture away from any kind of romance, but I'm glad I did in this case. This beat out a lot of the romance books I've read recently.

I also really liked the names, Jessamine, Calliope, Angeline, Philomena, Missouri,Sophranie, Evander. All interesting.

But this ending, I mean I can't stand reading about children dieing. They were so close, if only Ethan had told them what he knew. Well actually I wish the readers knew what he knew. But I'm sure all of that will be released in the second book.

I'm very intrigued by this book, how would someone come up with something like this. It's brilliantly thought out, well written. The plot is great. Although some things are easier to figure out, while other things happen and they just kinda flip a table at you.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone, it's a great read, it's has it's humor, it's a mystery, and true to it's genre, it's a thriller. This book took me all of less then 5 hours to read it.



Now for a quick little update. I'm opening review requests, Any books, any length, any genre. Self published, traditionally published, not published. You can request a review in the Request a Review box at the bottom of the page.

I can and will be a beta reader, an editor, someone you can just contact to brainstorm with, or just someone that will listen to your problems.

You can also ask questions there. After I get a few questions I'll make a post answering them.

Blur by Kristen Middleton

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

This review will contain **Spoilers**

I really liked this book, I could hardly put it down, between 9pm and 1am I just read the book, and I almost finished it. and it's a slightly different take for me, being as usually  when I read a book about vampires, there's werewolves too. I haven't seen any in this series yet.

This book left me wondering if Ernie, their mothers old boss, knew all along what was going on in Shore Lake, or if he had no clue what so ever, as to what he was sending them too.

I'm tempted to buy the next book, sadly I won't be doing that, as I've promised myself, I'm going to try to finish reading as many of the free books on my kindle before I buy anymore books, but I do really want to know what happens after Ethan is shot, and disappears.

I also want to see how Duncan reacts to Nikki getting bit by a vampire, and if her mom is going to realize, and if the Sheriff is going to explain to her why he saved her.

I'm also kind of curious as to what happened with their dad, he didn't actually make an appearance, just his actions made one, but they're afraid that he will.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes vampire books, or any supernatural books. It's a great book, and even better it is free.

Few Are Angels by Inger Iversen

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

This review will contain **Spoilers**

My reason for the rating is one that might not have bothered me if it hadn't made me reread a few things. The grammar is little off, and the book is very repetitive. And it definitely leaves you not the happiest with the book.

I actually had to sit on this rating for a day, I couldn't decide if I wanted to give it a 3 stars or 4 stars, and I had to list reasons for it.

Reasons to give it 3 stars.
Repetitive.
Bad grammar.
Needs editing.

Reasons for 4 stars.
Great idea.
Loved the plot.
characters were filled out.

I didn't really get anymore for either of them, so I just decided I'd give it the 3.5 and give everyone my reasons for it.

Besides for the book needing to be edited about 5 more times, and then another 3, it's a good, well actually a rather great book. Iversen's writing is great, sadly though, the lack of editing made it hard for me to really like the book, yet I loved the book.

Ella is the new arc, she's supposed to be the one that can see the future, she's getting ready to go to the council mandated place shes assigned to, when Laurent's men attack, and this and this happens, but I won't tell you, because that would spoil the ending.

I'm slightly peeved by the fact that she wouldn't be able to see Kale again, and yet she decides to bring Alex with. I understand childhood friendship, but her lover that she is abandoning pretty much is right there when she asks. I just see that as cruel.

I would recommend this book, but you have to have a strong, I guess stomach, to handle the grammar mistakes. If you can handle them, this book is great, and I would say read it.

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)

Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

I gave this 4 out of 5 stars.

This contains **spoilers**

I loved Hex Hall, and this one did live up to the same excitement, just less romance, and the ending made me so mad. I understand why she did what she was told, and the next book will make it almost all better but just the thought that her dad got his powers taken away, and Archer was still in there and what about Jenna where is she, and Cal went back in there, where the Eye were currently attacking, I could care less about the rest of the council. The only way she can get help is going to see the one thing that wants to kill her most of all.

Okay I'm done ranting about the ending, but I can't believe what was happening, I can't believe Hecate Hall was being used to raise demons, by the headmistress and her little sister. I love how Archer and Sophie go there and they fight off the guardians, if only Sophie could be faster at mastering her skills.

I LOVE Cal so much, I mean I love Archer too, and I think she should be with Archer and all that, but I mean even though Archer was part of the Eye, and was his competition for Sophie, he still saved his life after Nick attacked him. But I hate how everyone came out and saw that, and le gasp, I hated Elodie in the first book, but thank goodness she was there, she pretty much saved Archer's life, long live the bounded ghost.

I'm almost done there's just so much in this book that I loved. I didn't really like Daisy or Nick, at the end of the book I understood a little bit more why, I was just thinking I might've liked there characters more if they hadn't been turned into demons by people trying to start a war. My favorite scene including them was when Nick jumped in the fountain water Sophie had just turned pink and got Jenna and her all wet, and then they used their magic to change each others clothes, that was hilarious, I'm pretty sure that was the funniest part in the book.

I lowered my rating because the book was way to serious, I understand why it was serious, but I can only specifically remember one funny moment in the book.

This review was so long, but I think I got my point across, and I shall go finish my Anatomy homework and my book, I am currently reading Spells by Aprilynne Pike, and Blood Debt by Nancy Straight.

Magic to the Bone by Devon Monk

I gave this a 5 out of 5.

This contains **spoilers**

I like this book. A lot actually. It might have something to do with my love for magic as well, but the way the characters are portrayed in this book are just amazing. I think it helps the plot a lot with how the magic takes back from the user, and with Allie it's painful, or memory loss is the biggest part.

In the end I do like Zayvion, even if you can't always be sure what side he's on, but you can tell he truly does love her, and will protect her, just as much as she would protect him.

The part right before the ending actually sorta had me worked up, what will Zayvion being shot, James, Mama's Boy being the snake man that made Cody kill Allie's dad and hurt Mama's other Boy.

What bothered me the most for this was the fact that I never could figure out how old Cody was supposed to be, I think I understand that is was magic use that messed with him and seperated him from his older self, just leaving the child. I also love her friend Nola, she's so helpful and so is that adorable dog of her's, but it didn't stop Allie and Zayvion from being together. Which I'm sure helped her.

Black Moon by Jessica McQuay

I rated this book 4.5 out of 5.

This contains spoilers, and this is a free ebook I got through the ARR Program in my goodreads group.

In the beginning I won't lie I already liked Paige, she seemed like someone I would understand, but then as things started happening, like she started glowing, I was trying to figure it out. I will admit though before I found out she was a faery, I had already figured out she had shifter blood in her, it was shall I say sort of obvious, but I can admit my realizing that might have had something to do with the fact that I've read a lot of books like this one, and after so many you get good at picking up on things like that.

I've read a few reviews, and I have to agree with quite a few of the reviewers, my favorite character is Naialah. I mean I can't wait to know what she is, and that is mostly because I have a feeling a second book is coming out, otherwise it couldn't have ended like that.

This book was extremely well written and I am so glad I was able to get a copy of the book for free, it is something I probably wouldn't have found on my own, and I'm happy I did find it. I suggest if you can get this book, do it, it is very well written.

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.

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.

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.
