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!
