Opal



 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 This was my first thought at the end of this book. My eyes bugged out, my mouth dropped wide open, my hands clenched my book in a death grip. 

 To say that it was a cliffhanger would be a major understatement. I have been left in awe of Jenn Armentrout as usual. Her ability to pull me into her story world of hot alien boys and mutated human girls, still sways me even after three books. Probably because she's good like that. 

 But GOD! I don't think I can wait for the next book! 

 Opal essentially begins where Onyx left off, there's tension between good friends, mistrust amongst themselves and generally a seemingly hopeless plan for normality. But NO, Daedalus is NOT finished with them, are they? Nope, not at all. Those backstabbing a-holes have dirty scheming plans up there sleeves, and at the end, the apprehension of it all was stuck in my chest. 

 To all those Daemon and Katy fans, there's too many heart stopping and blood heating moments to count. 

 “When his lips met mine, a thousand emotions erupted in me. His taste was delicious and addictive. I pressed against him, our kisses deepening until I was swimming in heady sensations that beat against every pore in my body. Everywhere we touched my skin came alive. His lips trailed a fiery path from mine to the column of my throat. All around us, his light flickered, like a thousand stars lining the walls, fading in and out.” 

 But don't take my word for it- take Daemon's: 

 “My lips change lives, baby.” 



 Yes, Daemon, I'm sure they do. 

 Among all the steamy kisses and witty banter, I noticed a lot of character development. We see a new side of Daemon as well, a softer side. And a different side of Katy; gone is the girl who will be the bystander, this girl will fight for what she believes in. 

  Opal didn't leave me feeling whole at the end, but instead lit my nerves on fire and has set me waiting anxiously for the next book, Origin. However, to not read Opal would put you seriously out of the loop! 

So read it, grind your teeth, and join the rest of us Daemon fans in the wait for Origin ;) 

 Kisses,

This book will be Easy for you to love!




 
Easy by Tammara Webber


Tammara uses lots of dialogue mixed with just enough detail to envision the story. Which is sort of perfect seeing as that fits with the attention span of pretty much every girl I know. She didn't so much flattery me with her words and she did with her storyline.

The characters were believable. I liked that while Jacqueline (not Jackie) is a young college girl, she takes the time to learn how to defend herself and does not end up being a Mary Sue type character. I also like that unlike most guys, Lucas cultivates the strong woman attribute without losing his "manliness".

As book lovers, we read and love lots of book but every once in awhile, one comes along and knocks you off your feet. "Easy" was one of them. I have to say that I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down! It's the first book I've read that is in a college setting, which is awesome because almost all of the YA books are set in high school. The change of pace was refreshing.

Lucas is my new dream guy. He's a hot badass with a past who doesn't care what people think, as well as a guy who loves the arts, and believes that chivalry isn't completely dead. He wasn't one of those guys who didn't know what he wanted and constantly changed his mind and then went into a corner and cried, like so many others. THANK GOD! I'm tired of guys being indecisive dumbasses. Basically he's a good man and a total bad boy, if you get my drift ;) And he rides a motorcycle and has tattoos! *swoon*




This is definitely going in my top 10 books.

My only wish is that this wasn't a stand alone book, but alas, I have no genie, and my wishes will not be granted, but as a stand alone, it still left me satisfied with the ending.

I'll probably check out a few more college scene books and more from Tammara Webber so no worries, I'll keep you posted ;)

As Always,

Oh.. My... Gods...


Deity

Oh... my... gods... This book was AMAZING! It is by far the best Covenant series novel out, so far! I don't think I can wait for the continuation, "Apollyon" much longer, cuz I need it now! I'm on my way to read the novella, "Elixir" which is set in Aiden's P.O.V. after the end of Deity, which speaking of, almost killed me! In a sorta good way.


I absolutely fell in love with Aiden St. Delphi. Regardless of whatever "Team" you're routing for, (Team Aiden/Team Seth), you will definitely fall in love with Aiden too. You have a heart of ice ( no pun intended, Ice) if you don't.

I really appreciate the character growth Alex goes through in this book. She seems to understand more what her "knee-jerk" reactions do to herself and other people, even though she still has a few! Aiden also seems to grow as a character, he isn't the exact same guy who he was in the beginning of "Half Blood" - he's even better. I won't say much more about him because there would be too many spoilers, but you WILL love him even more. Seth doesn't appear as often as Aiden, but the times he does are monumental. There is definitely something going on with Seth and nobody knows how to handle it.

Btw. I absolutely love Leon in this book. He cracks me up so much.

This book flooded me with so many emotions. At times, I wanted to almost cry. Other times, I wanted to punch somebody. But mostly, I felt so unbelievably elated through the entire thing. My heart dropped at the ending, because its such a cliff hanger, but I'm sure "Elixir" will clear some of that up for me and get me through the wait til "Apollyon".

There are so many twists to the plot, I can't even begin. Just read the book. If you've read "Pure", then I don't need to tell you twice to pick this book up. If you haven't even started the series, go find "Half Blood" and catch up!

Now, excuse me, while I go into hiding with "Elixir" ;)

Hugs and Kisses,

The Marked Son



3 of 5 stars false

I definitely liked the story line of this book but I a few issues with the book itself.

Dylan Kennedy is a love child that his mother doesn't know what to do with, so she takes him to his grandparents farm, where he comes to terms with his differences and tries to find the girl of his dreams- literally. I really liked this story.

However, the book was in dual P.O.Vs. Normally, I really like seeing the story from both sides, and while seeing it from Kera's view, I found the book so much more appealing in only Dylan's. I think I would've liked the book more if it had been written entirely through him. I can see why it was important to see Kera's side to explain certain plot points but I found she was harder to relate to.

There were also lots of grammatical errors but not horrendously bad. Most of the time, it was a mere annoyance.

There were both believable reactions and unbelievable reactions. Like for example, there is a part where the main character Dylan explains something that seems totally unrealistic, and is initially greeted with suspicion before believing him. However, Dylan connects with Kera way to quickly, and I find it less believable.

Overall, I liked this book and maybe I will like the continuation better. :)

See ya later,

UnEnchanted (An Unfortunate Fairy Tale, #1)

UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn

3 of 5 stars false



Hey guys Ice here with my very first review! This book is free in IBooks so go get it today!
 
Mina, main character of UnEnchanted, finds out the reason that her family keeps moving from state to state. She is told of her family's Grimm curse and the fact that her father died from trying to beat it. The shock hits her hard but instead continue to run away, she decides that she must stand up and beat the curse in order to protect her little brother, who would have to face it if she died. 

 Her courage to take on the curse head on was inspiring but really out of character. Her shy appearance that the beginning of the book seems to disappear and all of a sudden she transforms to this valiant warrior who is ready to take on any task at hand. I must say that I was not expecting the instant change and was thoroughly confused by it.
 
This book had so much potential. I loved the plot and where the story was heading, but the writing was very…..unique. I did not mind the fact that there were some grammar mistakes throughout the book, but what irks me is that the author spelled the main character’s name wrong! It could have been a simple typo but before publishing the book, she should have edited it, because trust me; it needed it! 

I only gave 3 stars to the book because I felt that the characters could have been better portrayed. The characters in this story seem really bipolar and most of the time I am confused on what is happening because of their constant mood swings, especially Mina's. Mina goes from desperately begging for help from a stranger that she suddenly feels she can “trust” to downright angry to the same stranger. When reading the story, sometimes I just feel that the characters need to sit down and take a chillpill!

Overall, the book did peak my interest and I encourage everyone to try it out because of the interesting plot that is told, I know I will be reading the second book just to find out how the tale continues. If you don't mind the occasional grammar error, then you might find yourself cozying up in a chair and reading this story in one read!
