Review: As You Wish

As You Wish by Jackson Pearce
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first thoughts while/after reading this is that, "wow, this book reminded me of If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern" and "Ooooh! a genie!!"

I love this story. Why? Well, it's because it's a story about making you feel good and making you move on. It's about dealing on how you'll get through will all the hurt and pain that you experience. It's about loss and feeling alive and whole again.

I love that both Viola and Jinn's point of view are shown in the book. That way it makes it more interesting. :) How their feelings for each other changed and developed into something more.

wiiii! 4stars!

Review: Saving Juliet

Saving Juliet by Suzanne Selfors
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WOW. Romeo and Juliet story with a modern twist. I LOVE IT.
i mean first of all, some might say it sabotaged the original story, but for me, it's really good! I actually enjoyed reading it.

The story is about obedience and standing up for yourself. Also about how society shapes you, And of course love. :)
Mimi was controlled by her mother and what society dictates her for a long time,yes she was pressured and I can't help feeling sorry for her because she's must do what she is told. Same thing with Juliet and her mother. Juliet Capulet's life was being run by her mother and she can't do anything about it because no matter what she do her mother always wins. BUT then because of Mimi all of that has changed. for the better. :)

Troy is the same as Mimi, i mean he has his own image to uphold. Thing is, due to that, someone got hurt in the process. also due to that self attitude, he was able to give the wrong signals to the girl that he like and crazy about. :)

Romeo, romeo, wherefore art though Romeo? lol. anyway, Romeo is really DEPRESSED in this book. I mean I never read the original book so maybe he really is liked that before he met Juliet. He's so soft and vulnerable. a ROMANTIC i might add. I love it all the same. When he first gazed at Juliet it was like boom! "I love that girl." lol. I know it's not likely possible or realistic but then maybe to some people it could really happen like that. IDK, never experienced it myself.

i like Mimi's crush on Benvolio at the beginning until that horrible scene happened. UGH! i thought it might play well, i mean I like Troy to be with Mimi, but another guy to make him jealous couldn't hurt right? but then it all went downhill thanks to that awful thing that Benvolio did. gr..

my question is this, what would you do if you saw Romeo staring at you? or if you just happen to lay your eyes on Romeo in the flesh?
my answer? i don't really know, i might just stare in awe and wait until I stopped feeling the excitement that might come pouring out of me. :)

Review: Reaper

Reaper by Rachel Vincent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Since I'm playing favorites, and due to my undying love for Tod Hudson this novella deserves 5stars! :)

first of all, it's so nice to see Tod's perspective and how much he loves his mother and his brother. I love how he's always calculating and doesn't do something in a total rush. He's a good boy with ordinary faults. Being able to give up his life for his brother is another quality that makes him a wonderful person or should I say reaper. :) The way he cares for his mother is another big thing. *sighs* i love him. :) yes I am completely smitten and swooning right now. :)

however, I can't remember if he mentioned the "incident" to Nash in the other books. I guess I should read again..... or maybe Nash will find out in the 5th book? my gosh I am so excited!

also!!!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT

OMG!!!!!!!!! Tod found Kaylee first!!!!!!!!!!!!
does this mean anything???? seriously! and Kaylee saw him too!!!!! Even though they can't remember it on the 1st book, or maybe only Kaylee doesn't remember considering her state of mind at that time....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
please tell me that these two are destined to be together! although I don't how that could be possible considering the reaper thing. BUT hell! what does this mean??? They saw each other first. :) i am so giddy right now, I wanna get my claws--errm I mean hands on the 5th book! If I Die!!! :)

Review: My Soul to Steal

My Soul to Steal by Rachel Vincent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE SERIES. :)
WONDERFUL STORY! Bittersweet, heartfelt and very painful! I LOVE IT!

I really like this book compared to the other 3. This one has a lot of emotions that continue to play in and out of my head. It actually bothers me a lot because of how Kaylee keeps on getting hurt. I really really pity her in this book. I mean c'mon! She feels like she's not wanted by the people around her! Feeling unwanted sounds really painful and every time her fears are being described in the book I can't help myself to feel sorry for her.

Another one, Nash. Nash is also hurting. I know, he did some unforgivable things but that doesn't mean he's not sorry. He's saying he loves Kaylee, but how come he gave up his memories of her in the third book? (and other matters that I am not going to mention because it may contain spoilers) However, I can't help myself to shout at Nash, "WHO'S it gonna be Nash!!?? Kaylee or Sabine!?!"

Tod, is a different matter all together. From the first book, I was actually in love with him! gosh I love you Tod! Marry me! :)i want you reaper! i need you! LOL
anyway, he said some things here that really hurt Kaylee, not him hurting her literally, but some of his perspectives regarding Nash, Kaylee and Sabine. I don't know if he's saying that for the sake of his brother, for the sake of Kaylee's emotions or for HIM. (yes, i think it may be his intentions as well...i'm still suspecting here... but i really WISH my suspicions are true. :)
Another matter about Tod, well, I THINK he's having feelings for Kaylee. as in not just a "friend" but in a different level. see here...
***SPOILERS***
****Tod and Kaylee moments.****

(I LOVE THIS!!!!)
His fingers wrapped around mine loosely, then squeezed, and I thought I saw the slightest swirling of colors in his eyes.
My pulse leapt and I blinked, breaking eye contact, then blinked again, confused by what I'd almost seen.
Tod stared at me for just a second longer, then shook his head, and his ironic grin was back.
~~~
(does this mean anything????? i REALLY think it does!)
Kaylee: "Wouldn't you be mad if I told you to give up on someone you love? Just... hand her over to someone who doesn't even deserve her?"
Tod gave me a strange, sad look I couldn't interpret, and the blues in his irises shifted subtlety before he got control on them. "Yes I guess I would."
~~~~
(my favorite part!)
Then strong, warm arms wrapped around me from behind. "I've got you," Tod whispered in my ear, as Avari charged us.

I don't know if these meant anything at all or they are just simple gestures. BUT c'mon!!!! i LOVE THEM TOGETHER!!! :) This book hurt me to much I don't care if Nash ended up with Sabine! :( soooo I'm sticking with TOD! :)
but how can someone have a happy ending with a reaper? hmmmmm.

Review: The Iron Daughter

The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book totally made me cry!
Try feeling rejected, abandoned and received cold-treatment from the person you're in love with!
that's just so depressing. it's really painful!

all in all, WONDERFUL story! never fails to amaze me. :)
