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,

Computer Issues! Sorry, Guys!

Hello my Book lovers!
I'm sorry I've been gone! I'm having computer issues :( meh. They should be fixed by sometime soon :)
I'll post the Deity Review (Which you're gonna love) ASAP and Easy on Tuesday!

Start looking for my reviews on Tuesdays and Thursday and Ice's on Saturday and Wednesday!

Write you guys soon,

The Marked Son

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 by Chanda Hahn

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!   

  

 

  

I just have to say...

DEITY IS HERE! VIA KINDLE!!!!

I'm wasting away for the continuation to the Covenant series!

Who doesn't love Reapers?

I like the parts in Finn's P.O.V the most. I loved seeing the world through his eyes and

"Inbetween"

This was a great book :)

When I read the first chapter excerpt at the end of "Onyx" by Jennifer L. Armentrout,
I was considering overlooking the book. The first chapter really doesn't do this book
justice. This is one of the few books that actually gets better with every chapter.

If you've read the "Existence" Series by Abbi Glines then you're already crazy
obsessed with the concept of falling in love with Death. But that is where the similarities
between both books end.

In short, Finn is a Reaper for the Inbetween, which is basically a type of purgatory, and
he is madly in love with Emma and will do everything he can to keep her from harm.
Emma thinks she's crazy but cant get enough of Finn.

Inbetween is written in both P.O.V's,which is important because Finn gives insight into
the past events that occurred before the story began, while Emma provides the reaction
we crave.

the love he feels for Emma is amazing to say the least. I also liked how Tara Fuller built
up her underworld. She has evil, crazy undead bosses, Hell reapers with an attitude,
and wicked ghosts with a taste for vengeance.

I'm curious to see how a second book will continue the story because the ending was
AMAZING! I didn't think it could end the way it did but I'm super glad :)

I'll definitely pick up a sequel if there is one!




Later!

An Incredible Ghostly Love Story

"Hereafter"

The Best Ghost/Love Story I've read so Far.

When I picked up "Hereafter", I was expecting a cheesy novel about girl-can't-have-boy-because-he-can't-see-her-or-some-crap-and-she's-miserable-the-end.

BUT IT WASN'T LIKE THAT!

First, let me say that Tara Hudson did a marvelous job creating her Heroine. Amelia wasn't the Mary Sue-woe-is-me type of girl. She stuck with what she knew and refused to give up what she wanted! Amelia wasn't too head strong and seemed to ask all the right questions.

In the beginning of "Hereafter", Amelia is trying to figure out who she was, why she even still exists, and how to pass the time in the lonely existence of the undead.

And then her world is flipped inside out and upside down. Joshua is freaking adorable! He is the type of guy who doesn't give a crap what other people thinks, (which is sort of an important trait for someone who sees ghosts.) Theirs is a love seemingly impossible to really even exist. An overarching theme is "How will they ever really be together?"

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Other than trying to find a way to be together that doesn't involve a dead body, Joshua and Amelia face ancient covens hellbent on sending ghosts back to, well, the ghost equivalent to hell, and other ghosts hellbent on getting out of there. And don't forget the secretive and mysterious deities who seem to have their own agenda that probably won't bode favorably for neither Amelia, nor Joshua.

If you love ghost and love stories, pick this one up. Like right now.

There's a continuation to "Hereafter" with, "Arise", so I'll let you know how that one turns out soon!

Until then,
Peace&Love :)

Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh

Hey there! Fire, here, with my review of:

As a sequel to the astounding novel Nevermore, I just HAD to read Enshadowed. It basically starts off precisely after Nevermore ends, with Isobel realizing that Varen isn’t “at home” with her. This book starts off a little slow because Isobel is trying to adjust and deal with what is going on and there isn’t much “Isobel and Varen” time.

The suspense, however, was killer! I hung on to every word throughout the book! I was slightly disappointed to find that the overall structure was very close to Nevermore’s and held very little of its own content, leaving us in another heart wrenching predicament. Many other reviews state that they felt like this book was unnecessary for readers to know what’s going on but I feel like this book was an important step in the Isobel/Varen relationship. Enshadowed also seems to show more into the depths of Varen’s soul than we saw in Nevermore.

 It’s true that if you wanna save time, you can read the last few chapters of Enshadowed and know everything you need to know for the third book currently in progress of being written, but Kelly’s poetic similarities in language to Edgar Allan Poe’s writing style never fails to entice me. She spins a world of fantastical imagination that has me coming back for more. So yes, I definitely suggest that any fan of Nevermore read Enshadowed! And to keep an open mind at the end of the book, because it’s not over! The conclusions on its way and I think that it will make up for all the waiting! 

Death and his Girl

Hi, All! It's Fire :) With her first review on the latest book in the Existence series.

 

Ceaseless by Abbi Glines

Having already read the first two books in the series, I wasn't sure how much more Abbi could add to the story of Death and the Girl who stole his heart. All I can say is WOW. This book is probably the best third book continuation I've read in awhile. I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Abbi!

I have to say that I was nervous about even reading Ceaseless when I read the synopsis and realized that Pagan would lose all her memories of Dank and that soul mate Jay would be around. Who wouldn't be horrified?? (I mean, forget Dank? How is that even possible??). I figured it would end up like all those other books we've loved. You know, where the author adds an extra book and messes with the characters and skews the storyline and ends up making fans super pissed.

 I have to say this is not the case! Pagan's reactions during the story were believable and relatable. Every scene was well executed, and the timing was perfect. Nothing felt too rushed or seriously slowed down. I have to say I was not disappointed! I was so engrossed in this book that I couldn't put it down!

In Ceaseless, the point of view's are spilt even more than in the two books before it. We see a lot more of Dank's thoughts and feelings and it makes it a lot easier to feel the tension of him trying to win Pagan over again. Just when I thought it wasn't possible to love him even more, this book made me fall in love with Dank all over again!

So what will it be? Will Pagan fall in love with Dank once more? Is there really a future for them together? Read the final book in the Existence trilogy and find out!

You won't regret it!

Ice here~ 
Lets now reveal the cover for the next book in the ever popular Lux series. The anticipated OPAL by the talented Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Along with this amazing eye-candy, here is a synopsis of Opal.

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.
