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 :)
