Review: Shooting Scars

Shooting Scars by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is Ellie in this book,


oh my gosh. This story keeps getting better and better. After reading On Every Street, I was really wanting or more likely BEGGING for Ellie and Javier to get back together. I just thought that it would be so romantic if even with all the lies, deceits and awful situations that they were in, it will always come down on them being in love with each other. I was so set with that idea, but along the way of reading Shooting Scars, i am not so sure anymore. Well, I was sure for like two times when Ellie and Javier had sex like MANY times and they were also able to confess every thing that happened to them 6 years ago. They were able to rip the band aid out of each other's wound. They were able to bring back the past emotions! oh my god! was I wrong to be that romantic in me and tell myself that this will be a happy ending? BECAUSE! well, unfortunately, there's still Camden McQueen. Besides, Javier is still Javier.

This book was able to break my delusional concept of having a happily ever after for Ellie and Javier. Just like all the characters in this book, one thing is real.

Javier is a changed man. Yes, he was different now but I do know one thing. He cannot hide it in this book. I can SEE it! Ms Karina Halle is actually letting us see it. Javier is still deeply and insanely in love with Ellie. He cannot deny that. But then again, he's still full of revenge. He still wants to hurt people. He still wants to kill and the difference now is that he's willing to use Ellie.

As for Ellie, I can't say she feel the same way. Being "in love" i mean. One, it's because she's now in love with someone else. Camden McQueen. She became hopeful to that idea that she can have a future with him. Two, i know she still has those feelings for Javier, but it's not the same just like before. Yes she's weak and she was able to succumb to Javier's seduction but she's more afraid of him now than before. I can honestly understand Ellie's weakness. Yes she was weak. She let Javier do those things to her, not to hurt Camden but because she thought that she has no one but herself. she's all alone.

she thinks that she will never see the man that she's in love with. She was lost and she was scared. She was ALONE. It was a miracle that she didn't lose her mind.

As for Camden, well helloooo Mr. Clark Kent. I think in all this, Camden is saying

I know the rage and pent up fury inside him. He's a very scary person to come across with. I admire his devotion. If one can describe him, i can totally say that he's the very example of a person who give ALL of his love to a person. He'll do anything for Ellie. Yes, he was hurt but love was able to empower all the pain that Ellie caused him. That's how deeply and greatly he loves Ellie. Obsess? maybe. But it's wonderful. I like it.

ok, i don't know what will happen but seeing the 3 of them together is weird and kinda exciting. I love it. book 3 come on!!!

Review: Sins and Needles

Sins & Needles by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



"It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me"

Awwww it's all about not messing around with very bad people. For someone like Ellie, she was born in it.

"Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game"

She can never erase her past. Especially if something always keeps on reminding her of it. That scar was the very thing that defined her life. She didn't chose it. It just happened to her. Her life sucks then. It still sucks now. Though she did try to leave it all behind, but being a con artist that she was raised from, it doesn't go all the way so easily.

For Camden, his youth was a nightmare as well. Starting from his father, and how everyone treated him so unfairly, even how Ellie broke his heart. Once something struck you so hard and deep it can never go away. Especially if it's your heart. Being broken and destroyed, you'll always carry that pain with you.

"It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game"

This song, A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars really fits this story. And i am loving every lyrics of it.

One thing i know is that love for a person can never really go away just like that. Just like pain will always stain your soul and heart. Love can turn into hate or obsession. It can be lethal and deadly. But, it can also make you feel the peace that you've been craving for. To some, they have the chance to have that peace. But for others? The ones that are not lucky enough? They have to live a lie and sacrifice their happiness to achieve the happiness of others.

Cannot wait to read the second book!

Review: On Every Street

On Every Street by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Do you live? Do you die? Do you live for a fantasy? (Fantasy by 30 Seconds to Mars)

“I tricked myself into thinking it had all been a dream, that none of it had really happened. I pretended that I was falling in love with Javier and that was all to the story. I didn’t let myself dwell on who he really was.”

All it was in Ellie Watt's life with Javier Bernal is a fantasy, it's all a lie. Eden White is a lie. But a better word to describe Ellie's life as Eden? It's a fantasy. Fantasy is a word that can be describe as an illusion going through a person's mind and believing it to be real. Wanting something to be real. In reality? It can but it won't be forever.

It started with revenge, but like Gus said, a people can change his or her mind. There are so many factors that can be involved in this. It could be about the situation, the people around you or the feelings that seep through your skin and mess with your mind or your goal. For Ellie, it all comes down to her emotions.

Believe it or not, a person only has one thing in mind. This is to be loved. We are created to love others and be loved by others, most importantly, we have that mentality wherein we think that we can be truly love by one person who made us feel the love that we wanted in return. It's the raw type of love that will be the death of us. I think, this mentality is what's in Ellie's and Javier's mind.



LIE


“That’s the kind of person you think you’re in love with, Ellie. I want you to wake up and see the lie. Obsession is not love. He is a bad man.”

-- to be honest, it is scary to live in a lie. It's ok if you have control and can manage to handle the pressure, but what happens if it becomes your weakness or something that will trigger your weak side? The pain or the fear that will come afterwards will be something that you will wish that you never have to experience.

LOVE

“I’m scared of him. I’m disgusted by the vile monster he becomes, this beast he lets out. But I still love him. I’d still do anything for him. I can’t just turn off my heart. I want to, I do, but I can’t. I love him with everything I have and I hate myself for it. Because it’s wrong to love him, I know. It’s so wrong.”

-- for Ellie, i pity her. She never expected to love Javier that way she did. She never saw it coming. But she still fell in love with him. That's something that changed all her plans. Her love was able to change her too. She accepted and trusted the man that's why she was able to let go of her revenge and see Javier as her forever. She was able to see the good in him and was able to justify his actions. Yes, he is bad, but she was able to look deeper and she found something essential and wonderful.

-- for Javier, i know he love Ellie or Eden for him. I just know it! I can see it too! From the way Ellie described him in the book. For some reason i think he's obsessed but he loved her deeply. What i don't get is why did he cheated on her????? Why why why? I mean, i know he's a ladies man but that all changed when he met Ellie. So, i wanna know WHY? I mean was starting to like Javier!! I was starting to believe that a bad guy has this soft and sweet side that can truly change him to something good!
GUESS I WAS WRONG? Or not? Can he explain this in book2? Please?

LIVE

“I went to the bathroom to clean up and was surprised to see the weary eyes of Ellie Watt looking back at me. Judging me. I had been so close to becoming her again. So close to freeing her. She was disappointed, her body marred by bloody smears, bite marks and bruises, physical signs of our troubled love.
I gave her the finger. Then I got ready to go back home.”

--Life can be confusing. Especially if you got hurt then you found out that you still feel the love that you have inside. Feelings make living your life confusing. All you have to do is choose what you think is right. Not what is right in the situation, but what is right for YOU.

I am loving this story!!!!!

Book 2 now please!

Book Review: Lost and Found

Lost & Found by Nicole  Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One thought came to me while reading this: Damn! Where can I find someone like Jesse Walker?

Someone like that is really really hard to find. You're lucky to even find a glimpse of him in this world.

Ok so, thought?

1. This book made my mouth water.
- every conversation with Jesse was mouth-watering or jaw dropping kind. He's someone you'll have a serious crush on. Like what Rowen keeps saying, he's someone who's hard to get over. I like how their relationship went from flirting to push and pull then to a serious loving kind of relationship.

2. Sometimes it's ok to want something you think you don't deserve.
- who has the right to dictate to you what you should or shouldn't have? It always comes down to you. You have the decision to choose. It's not about what shouldn't happen because you think you're not good enough, it's about making the right decision. It's hard to explain. Lol. For me, you have to choose what's right all the time. Not because you listen to other people or relate it to bad things, you do it because you know it will be good. Or better.

3. Stop punishing yourself.
- don't punish yourself for thinking about all the bad things and choosing all the negative things. Reward yourself! You deserve every reward that you can get. Grab those opportunities and options.

4. It's ok to love and be loved.
- wonderful!!! Jesse and Rowen :)

5. Don't ignore happiness.

Review: Wallbanger

Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn't know that this book will be good. i swear i never expected it to be like Meg Cabot's books. seriously enjoyed the banter and funny quips.

Sooo, im gonna try to give my review again through a song. This one is by Usher, U GOT IT BAD.

1. When you feel it in your body
You found somebody who makes you change your ways
Like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready
But you don't really know
And everything in your past - you wanna let it go
- this one is very Simon. If you have your lifestyle and your happy with it, why change it? Right? In this book, i think Simon got blindsided by a girl with pink nightie. :) so meet Simon Wallbanger. Oh, wait his real name is actually Simon Parker. He has a very active night life, lots of banging with that guy. Lol. He's a photographer. He has two guy best friends. He travels a lot. He has a harem. Oh, he's also smitten to a very witty girl who loves to bake.

2. I've been there, done it, humped around
After all that - this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
- ok, this still reminds me of Simon, but Caroline still fit with these words. You see, she's used to being alone and being by herself. She's happy that way. She's been in love, she's done the crazy stuff, and one day, she just lost her O. But then, she met a certain handsome wallbanger that certainly knocked her brain, nerves and heart out. So, meet Caroline Reynolds. She's an interior designer. She loves her job. She's an amazing cook and baker. She has two best girlfriends. She has an amazing boss. She has a cat named Clive. Oh! She's head over heel to certain wallbanger.

3. U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
Hang up and you call right back
U got, u got it bad
........
U got it bad when you're out with someone
But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U got it bad
- these lines? They remind me of both Caroline and Simon. I mean, come on! The texting, the banter, can't stop thinking about the other person? After meeting Caroline for the first time, Simon isn't the same with his harem anymore. What about Caroline, after a date with his ex, she was ready to go back to his FRIEND Simon.
Yes, they started as neighbors who hated each other. Then became friends. Good friends. I really really like that part. The movies, the nook, the zucchini bread, Spain. Then the falling part. And well,

Oh, ok fine their banging was sweet as well. Haha! Really really fun read!

4. Then there's Clive.

- the cat was really funny as well! The cat love is really adorable! Especially the ending. :)

5. Hilarious and sexy read!

Review: One Tiny Lie

One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It turns out that this book is good! Even better than the first one. :)

Livie all grown-up meets one boy with a dark past. Here's what I think of the story in a form of Gavin Degraw's "Stay".


  1. "Oh won't you stay
I need you need you here
When you're with me
All others disappear
I'll follow close
So close I'll almost touch
I need your love
But it never hurt this much"


- for the first time Livie's life turned into something she wasn't ready for. She reminds me of that lyrics above because she can't control her desire when she's around him. She got really distracted at some point, literally. But who are we to judge? It's her life and she can feel and do things that she wants or needs in her life.

  "2. I don't wanna be someone who's searching
Finally met someone
I finally met someone
There's a couple things I'm still learning
Just gotta figure out
But you need someone who knows
I came to you tonight
But now you're just walking away"


- Ashton's life was spent trapped in his sorrow and darkness. Until some girl punched him. He wasn't able to give himself completely to her, but he's so sure that she is his "forever girl". He wants her but he was plague with the complications in his life. He couldn't stand the thought of not having and loving her, but he's willing to do anything to fix it even if he thinks she is not right for him.

  "3. Don't get caught up in me feeling off course today
You can take a minute before you go slipping away
I know I took some time but I realized my mistake
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance"


- yeah enough said about this one. This happened after the heartbreak! When they meet again after two weeks of separation.

  4. Addiction.


- did i just say how much Ashton and Livie couldn't resist each other. Every time they push each other away they still end up being together every time possible.

  5. Make them proud.


- there are different ways to make someone proud. Sometimes it's not even the promise that you keep with them. Sometimes it's how you feel content and love that way that your life is playing out in front of you.

Review: Ten Tiny Breaths

Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Yeah that's Trent. Saying sorry.

Thoughts:

  1. Let me fix this and make you happy.


All i keep hearing when Trent was saying this was the song "Fix You" by Coldplay. The lyrics fits the story.
  "And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?"



See that lyrics! Aww! Don't forget the part when there was forgiveness and they saw each other again!

  “What’s wrong is that every morning and every night, I lie in bed wondering why you’re not beside me.”



What can I say? They make each other happy.

  2. Ten Tiny Breaths


- just try to breathe and try to feel and understand everything.

  3. Twisted.


This one is twisted. Who would have thought they would fall in love with each other that deeply?!? No one. But, it turned out great for both of them.

Review: Star Cursed

Star Cursed by Jessica Spotswood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

I have so many questions! Like, what the hell Maura!?! I really really hate you!
And Finn and Cate!!!!
What will happen to the oracle?!?!



Here are my reactions:

1. Romance
- I just have to say, Finn and Cate! No words. I just love their love story in this one. It started to be so innocent in book 1 then it all comes to this. I'm not saying it's bad. I just agree with Cate. It's wicked. :)

“You worry about what the prophecy means for them, but I worry about you, Cate. Someone’s got to. You’d sacrifice yourself in a second to keep them safe. You’d sacrifice us.”
His words hang there between us, a reminder that I already have.
““I don’t know if I could do it again,” I say truthfully.
“I know being here is dangerous for you. I should send you away, but I don’t want to give you up. It’s selfish of me.”
“Good. Be selfish.” “Finn’s mouth claims mine in a searing kiss.

Look at that! I really like that part.

What the hell!
Why did Finn has to be like that at the end of the book?! It's heartbreaking! Especially for Cate!!!!!!!!!

2. Sisters
- sisters are supposed to be there for each other. Always. Yes, sometimes there're jealousy and anger but those always come to an end. I don't what Maura's problem is. But i really really hate that girl! Right now, here's what i think of her


3. The prophecy:
“Three sisters, One brings healing and death. One brings ruin. The strongest will bring peace, but it will require a sacrifice. That’s what the prophecy says.”
- i want more! I really need the third book!

before reading:
almost there! i can almost see it! sooOOoo excited for this book! June 18!

Review: Charade

Charade by Nyrae Dawn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The sweetest and sexiest book i've read by Nyrae Dawn!!!



Charade is about pretending at first. But the more you pretend, the more it becomes real and you couldn't go back, because deep inside you know that you are changing, and it's for the better.

Just listening to the song Distance by Christina Perri is like awwww. :) it's the perfect song for this book actually!

"Please don't stand so close to me
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you'll understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say, "I love you," when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?"


This one is how I imagine what Cole's feelings for Cheyenne: song is called Tiny Dancer by Elton John
"But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today"

The best book of Nyrae Dawn and my favorite!!!! :)

Review: Saving Grace

Saving Grace by Christine Zolendz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Let me ask you something, what would you do if for 2000++ years, you've spent your life loving and searching for someone that you've been saving yourself for, then you found out that he doesn't want you as much as you did?
My reaction would have to be WHAT THE F*CK?!?!?!!! I've loved you for soooooo looooong!

So that was my first reaction after reading this book. Grrr.

Other thoughts:
1. Wasting all these tears.
Sometimes you wake up and realize that loving someone is not worth it yet you can't really help it if your heart is screaming differently. In this book, i found the perfect song for Grace! It's called "Wasting All These Tears" by Cassadee Pope:

"I tried to find you at the bottom of a bottle
Laying down on the bathroom floor
My loneliness was a rattle in the windows
You said you don't want me anymore
And you left me
Standing on a corner crying,
Feeling like a fool for trying
I don't even remember
Why I'm wasting all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through
Wasting all these tears on you
These tears on you"

Bottom line it hurts when someone makes you feel shitty. Lol. Ok let me rephrase that. It hurts when someone you love suddenly abandons you or didn't choose to be with you after all the things that you've suffered just for him.

2. Just a fool for you.
Again, acting foolish is different from being fooled. Arrrghhh! Perfect sooooong for Grace and Shane! This was like the part when Grace was in Booze trying to forget about everything by drinking. Song is "Just a Fool" by Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton
"Another shot of whiskey please bartender
Keep it coming til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (no no no no)
Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour (uh huh)
Maybe tomorrow it won't be this hard
Who am I kidding?
I know what I'm missing
Love, I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'd be true (yeah, yeah)
I'm just a fool"

3. Booze and drinks all over!

Yeah this book is full of drinking and partying! Seriously! All they do is drink! Party all night and trash talk and well you know some x-rated stuff.

4. Sooo where can you find a guy just like Conner?
- gosh Lea is so lucky!

5. Drama-filled book!
Back and forth back and forth! Drama drama dramaaaaa!

6. Angels. Yup. 'Nuff said.

Review: Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace by Christine Zolendz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Something about angels.

You know I didn't expect to like this book, but well, let me just say that I have a weakness for angel stories.

Yup, let me also ask, how many times have you read the archangel Gabriel in books like this? Lol. Many versions of Gabriel, right? Sometimes he's the good hero, sometimes a supporting role, an uncle, a friend, father, brother and worse the enemy! The enemy who thinks what he does is the right thing yet for others it is not. The deadly kind of evil... Yeah, i'm getting carried away, am I?

Like Tucker said in this book, anyhooo,

This book reminds me again for the third time, of Mirrors by Justin Timberlake,

"I don't wanna lose you now,
I'm looking right at the other half of me (LITERALLY)
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold (ALL THIS TIME)
Show me how to fight for now.
And i tell you baby it wasn't easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along."

Yeah! They were right at each other's faces all along!!!!!

Freakin' Gabriel. It all comes down to Gabriel!!!!!!

Thoughts:
1. Love is full of mysteries.
- i don't know why I just typed that. I just think it fits the story. Lol.
2. Keep you're eyes open.
- please OPEN your eyes and see through the person in front of you. Sometimes you have to open your eyes and your heart to someone. But then again, you really can't know something just by doing these. You have that mind of yours that puts certain things like conscience and facts about your life that sometimes makes you question a lot of things. Sometimes it could keep you also from grasping the truth and from finding out the one that you're looking for.
3. You're so vain.
- Shane you are so vain. You really think this song is about you? You are so vain. Lol

That ending!!!!


Next book please :)

Review: Darkness Before Dawn

Darkness Before Dawn by Claire Contreras
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


  "I love you to the moon and back, baby."

- Cole Murphy

Well, i don't know what to say because I only know that I enjoyed reading this book. A lot. Yeah!

Let me just share a song that fits the story of this book. How Cole and Blake felt every time they were separated. This one is called "With Me" by Sum 41:

  "I don't want this moment to ever end,
Where everything's nothing without you.
I'd wait here forever just to, to see you smile,
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.

Through it all, I've made my mistakes.
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words.

I want you to know,
With everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul.
I'll hold on to this moment, you know,
As I bleed my heart out to show,
And I won't let go."





The story makes you want to cry every single time. If not cry, it makes you want to scream at those people who wants to ruin their lives. I really pity both of them because they have been through a lot of tragic things. It makes them the most people with a case of bad luck! :(

Here's another song that I've come to love because of this book! I even tweeted it to Ms Claire Contreras lol. The message of the song says it all about Cole and Blake's love for each other. This one is called "Arms" by Christina Perri.

  "II never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone"





Can i just say this is one of my favorites? Yes! Yes and yes. :)

Review: Forever Too Far

Forever Too Far by Abbi Glines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is so much better than book 2!

Thoughts: in a form of
  This Love by Maroon 5




  1. This love


- Rush and Blair? They are sooooo in love with each other! Addicted. Obsessed and can't seem to stay away from each other unless there's a big problem and they MUST stay away. Lol. But in this book you can't. It's just.. They are soo.. Err something about heaven and rainbows and pure bliss. I cannot form a right sentence right now. LOL.

  2. This love has taken its toll on me.


- Grant Carter, hello there. I know he wanted to take a chance with Nan, but being the crazy ass bitch that she is, it's a really good thing that he's over her. GOODBYE TO YOU NANETTE. You annoying bitch. Grrr i hate you before, i hate you more. I might hate you more in the next book!

  3. She said goodbye, too many times before.


- no matter how many times Blair left Rush, she will always forgive him and take him back. Same with Rush. I love the dramaaaaa!

  4. And my heart is breaking in front of me.


- how many times did Blair and Rush broke each others hearts? Can you count? I think I've lost count. Anyway, Nan's heart is breaking too. I don't pity her because i hate her. But i don't like to be in her situation as well. She's crazy, yes. But she has a very troublesome life. She has issues that are heartbreaking for a person like her who feels so alone. But she shouldn't blame Blair all the time! Blair has bigger issues than her!!!! The one who got her heart broken big time in this series was Blair! Period!

  5. But I have no choice.


- Grant meet Harlow. Harlow meet Grant. I am so excited about this new pair! Or soon to be a pair. (Gosh! Let me have that book already!) Grant has no choice but to stay away from Harlow because, well she's Nan's sister! But he can't help it that she's a freakin goddess to his eyes. Harlow is shy as in very shy. But she can't help it if she feels something from Grant. He makes her nervous and she has no choice but to stay very far away from him.

  6. Cause I won't say goodbye anymore.


- Rush won't ever say goodbye to Blair again. He's keeping what's his. Always. The baby, he will forever cherish and love. He will not leave them and choose others over Blair and his baby, Nate. Never again. His family comes first. I knoooow, that's very manly and very Rush. Lol. Gotta love that guy.


Whew! What a ride! Love this last book! 4STARS!

Review: Before Now

Before Now by Cheryl McIntyre
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars!!!! I'm such a sucker for sweet asshole-bad boys falling in love with super sweet caring good girls. I know i know opposites attract and this is such a cliche, but come ON! It's so freakin' adorable!!!!

Just look at that right there!

This reminds me of Park and Lucy plus this song kept on playing in my head while reading:

"You're such a hard act for me to follow
Love me today don't leave me tomorrow, yeah
But if I fall for you, I'll never recover
If I fall for you, I'll never be the same

I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way
I really wanna touch somebody
I think about you every single day
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way, you take me all the way"
Love Somebody by Maroon 5

For me, this is how Lucy feels because she can't stop what she's feeling and her heart and body is demanding for Park. Yes she's scared because she doesn't have that assurance that this boy will not break her; but she can't help it if her heart is screaming for someone so difficult.

For Park, this song fits him as well because just like Lucy he's also scared. Scared that if he gave it all he'll come breaking down again if all hell breaks lose. He knows he wants Lucy so bad but he doesn't think he can manage to live if he lose her too.

Thoughts:
1. I think about you every single day.
- reading this line from both of their POVs was just so heart melting. If you can't stop thinking about each other, maybe you should be together already! I mean come on! Yes, you have your issues but what can you do if that person is the one that makes you really happy and makes you feel like you can breathe easily? Go for it!

2. Wake up already!
- stop pushing that person away!!!! You will only keep on hurting yourself. Didn't you realize that if you feel hurt because of your actions that you are actually hurting that other person as well? Stop and think for a second, ok!?!

3. Stop messing around! All the waiting!
- just for the love of ---- stop it! It's really good that you have that capability to wait every singe time! But i really love it that you gave voice to it. You shouldn't wait like that if you always end up being the loser or the one who gets nothing out of it. I've heard of unconditional love but sometimes it looks like your suffering because of having those feelings.

4. Of you sweet boy.
- i can't even--- i just don't... I can't help but smile! That ending!!!! :D

5. You of all people should know that you guys are PERFECT for each other!
- just perfect.

Review: Obsession

Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AFTER READING:
I still prefer Daemon, but Hunter is simply irresistible as well!

Here's a song that I just think fits the story of Serena and Hunter.
"Letting darkness grow
As if we need its palette and we need its colour
But now I've seen it through
And now I know the truth
That anything could happen
Anything could happen"
--Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding

For more she doesn't even know her life will turn out that way. So yeah anything could happen. As for Hunter, he knows some crazy stupid shit are happening but then there are so much of those that he still doesn't know. Now, he knows a lot and that's just mind boggling.
I know one thing though, he will not stop protecting what's his. :)

Other thoughts:
1. Aliens are good or bad?
- or better yet, Luxen or Arum? I don't even know anymoreeee! Makes me want to read Origin now!
2. Daemon you lover alien you.
- sooooo i'm guessing Daemon was there to save Katy? Hmmm
3. For the life of aliens what the hell?!
- i don't know what's gonna happen but I'm really excited. Will this get a second book?
4. Romance in that cabin.
- can i just say that this book was really hot! Makes me wanna say BURN all the time Emma Stone style.
5. Hunter you get easily distracted and things that come out of your d*mn mouth. Oh boy!
- that's just it. You get easily distracted!


BEFORE READING:guysss stop it.


since I can't seem to stop myself from reading all the updates in my feed about this book, i've decided to stop reading Suddenly Royal and start this one. yeah i'm that weak. and YES you are that good Ms Armentrout. lol.

will start this after work.

Review: Slammed

Slammed by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like what i told Colleen Hoover on Twitter, this book was bittersweet but I can't help but swoon every time! Makes me want to bawl and throw a tantrum because it hurts reading some of the scenes here. Over-all it was really enjoyable. :)

And while I was reading book 2 i heard the perfect song for what Will and Lake were feeling when they were hurting with all the heartbreak and lost that they experienced in Book 1.

That desperate feeling of not having what you want most in life because there are so many factors that you have to get pass through.

The song is Show Me What I'm Looking For by Carolina Liar
Wait, I’m wrong
Should have done better than this
Please, I’ll be strong
I’m finding it hard to resist
So show me what I’m looking for
Save me, I’m lost
Oh Lord, I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I’m looking for
Show me what I’m looking for
oh Lord
Don’t let go
I’ve wanted this far too long
Mistakes become regrets
I’ve learned to love abuse

Yes and yes! Very Will and Lake!

Review: Until Fountain Bridge

Until Fountain Bridge by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This made me cry :((

“I wanted to understand him. I tried to understand the reasons behind people’s actions

because I wanted to believe the best in everyone. But all I knew was that I loved him enough

to risk it all—to risk our history— for something more, and the fact that he wasn’t willing

told me he couldn’t possibly feel the way I felt about him. I didn’t want to be in a relationship with someone I loved more than he’d ever love me.”

Review: The Raven Boys

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While reading this book, i kept on saying: Hurry up! What's next?


Yeah, it's that exciting! I was very eager to know what will happen next. The story kept me interested and intrigued. It was never boring and it's very irresistible. Oh, what's more irresistible was Richard Gansey. yup. I am currently swooning at Gansey's feet. lol.

oh look here, i found my Gansey picture:


Right now, i just wanna say that I am dying to know what will happen with Blue's, "If I kiss my true love, he'll die." Obviously, it's one of the reasons why there will be other books after this one. So happy yet frustrated for the waiting though. In the book, i was really anticipating stuff like she and... then Blue will hold hands with.... or Blue will hug... yeah I can't really say the name. you have to read it! :)
I will NOT forget about the visions too! Those visions mean something. Something intense and romantic. *dying fan over here*

Here's how I picture Blue's reaction after Gansey told her that he will pay for her time for talking to his friend, Adam.




oh! did i say that the next book will come out this SEPTEMBER!?!


yeah I'd be lying if I say that I am so happy to wait that LONG!



can September be any nearer??
