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.
