Review: Spill Over

Spill Over by Jolene Perry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love this book. Yeah. As simple as that.

This book makes me want to start crying and feel lonely. It's like shredding your heart because you can't take it that you've lost someone forever.

"The apartment’s mine. The car’s mine. It’s all mine. I feel the way I knew I would. I don’t want any of it. I want Mom."

First of all, being in Antony's head is really making me crazy! All that pain that he keeps pushing away because he can't deal with it is just too much to take. I can't imagine losing someone like that. I mean can you imagine that one person you have and love all your life and then she just suddenly dies and gone forever? Sure it makes you feel so alone at first and i know that you can move on someday. But, being in that phase of feeling alone is sooooo scary and soooo breaking my heart.

“I probably suck at taking care of people, but I want to take care of you. Though, I can’t imagine you needing anything I have to give.”

hearing this is just too sweet. You know that feeling when you feel like you don't deserve that person because you don't know how you can give her something that will make her feel happy or make you feel that that person deserves you? That is just so hard. Sometimes you feel that what your giving is not enough. But sometimes, the funny thing is that you don't even have to try because by just being present is enough for others.

Review: The Thing About the Truth

The Thing About the Truth by Lauren Barnholdt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


  He’s so hot that it kind of takes my breath away. Of course, I’ve probably been reading too many romance novels.



that is Isaac Brandano for you. :) if he was in my high school i would probably have a crush on him too. I mean he's kind of a jerk but a very sweet jerk. He's nice to look at too.

I really like this story! You know the feeling of some kind of cozy rain inside your system and it's making you blissful or something? That's how i felt. Also, i couldn't stop reading it. I wanted to know the whole aftermath and what really went down. I also want to know more about how Isaac and Kelsey had gotten really close. I like how it was written. Like Barnholdt's other books she always introduces the main conflict then makes her readers figure out how the hell it happened. Well, that's how i understand it anyway. :) The cause of the fight is pretty simple and stupid as per Kelsey but they feel like it's a really big thing. For some it might be like that anyway.

It's always like this every time i read a Barnholdt book. Two good things: 1. It's always interesting and make me tingly all over it's male character. 2. You can't really put the book down because it's so addicting.

This book is 3.5 or 4 i can't decide. I just know it's still a good read. :)

Review: Leif

Leif by Abbi Glines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars




Why? All I’d ever done was protect her. Why did she have to see me as something dark, something evil? I loved her.



You know the feeling that you think he's the perfect guy for the heroine but then she falls in love with the bad guy? This was what Leif makes me feel like. I have this feeling that Pagan should be with him. Compared to other books it should be like that! The one who saves you. Has been loving you since you were a child. Is very gentle with you. No bad bone in his body!!! I mean he's the perfect guy for the heroine. But then again this is not like other books.

I just wish Leif will get what he wants ever since he chose his mate. But sad part is the one that he wants for his life cannot be his.




I’d loved Pagan for the majority of my life but I couldn’t force her to love me.



Seee a very nice boy who's in love! Apparently making yourself believe that you're in love with the right girl really hurts when you find out she doesn't feel the same way. All his life, what he's doing was to protect and love her. He doesn't care if she always forgets about him. He still does what he wants to do for her without anything in return; but when he has the right time to claim what is his, it all goes down to his loss. :(((

Leif!!! I wanna hug you!!! Take me instead? :)

I don't know what the Sabine chick's purpose in Leif's life but i'm guessing there will be more.

Review: Close to You

Close to You by Kate Perry
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Finding someone who you click with, who you love, is such a rare thing.

oh yes it is! Finding someone like Treat Byrnes is like out of this world kind of thing. At least in my pov. Why do i say that? Maybe because of how sweet that guy is. From what i see, he's the bad-naughty-gentleman-mama's boy type. And it so cute and sexy at the same time.

I love the story. It's endearing. Yeah it is. It lacks some emotional parts that i am craving like the drama and agony and stuff. Haven't
cried in a book for a while. But i really like this! Eve and Treat's first encounter. Sooo cute! :) and every time they meet it's always 'how their faces lit up' description that makes me smile. It's sooo adorable. :) the mother thing is also good.

I love how flirty Rick is! When he met Olivia it's sooooo smooth. If i was Olivia i wouldn't mind at all if he asked me out right there. :)


I’ve never believed in Fate before, but I’m willing to if she’s going to lead me to you.

i knooow! Sooo cheesy! Just thinking about this line, makes me want to sing "Where have you been all my life...." by Rihanna! :)

This book is all smiles for me. :)

Review: Scorched Skies

Scorched Skies by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is like the best Jinn story ever! Ha! Okay considering this is my first Jinn story. Well if Aladdin doesn't count. Haha!

So many painful emotions! I think this is better than the first book because they bare it all! All of them showed what they really feel.

I really do love you, kid. I guess I just never loved you enough.

Ari's pain of being alone and no one to turn to was doubled over. It's like if i I was her? I might consider dying or something. I really pity her! First with the Charlie thing and Charlie actually confronting her about it is like "WTF?! Why now?! I was waiting for a long time and now that I've moved on you want to be with me NOW?!?!? Fuck that!" yeah i was feeling like that in this book. Plus the Derek death! He didn't love her ENOUGH! Plus the Jai rejection. I mean c'mon! The girl might be strong but that doesn't mean she's made of steel! She has emotions that can lead to her destruction! Which leads us to this quote...

I’m pissed off being the girl whose daddy didn’t love her enough, who’s best friend doesn’t love her enough… who Jai will never love enough to work out his crap and put it behind him.

talk about major OUCH! I mean look at how painful that is! Considering those 3 are the ones she has left! The more she pushes them away the more she's being more cold and left in the dark. She may have let Charlie go but she still loves him. For Jai, they are like rubber bands. They might stretch as far away from the other but they still keep coming back. Always pulling each other together. And every time that happens Ari always gets her heartbroken. That's just another scab to heal. Again can i say OUCH?!

I feel like a crumpled up piece of paper that has something really important written on it. But no one will ever know what that is because all they see is something that’s been discarded. I’m done feeling like that!

I knooow right! Someday someone will get that crumpled paper and will look what's inside.

They beat the shit out of you and he let it happen. For years. But she almost died to save you. There is a right and wrong choice here, Jai.

Yeah Jai, that's like the greatest love of all! Ha! Cheesy i know. But i love this drama!!!! She almost died out there for HIM! Who would be an idiot to pass that up and let her get away! She's like the answer to your loneliness, the one that makes your heart beat again. And --insert all the cheesy lines here-- love it!!!!

She saved my life. She took the hit… and the last thing she did was use her gift to command that kid to leave me alone. Why did she do that?

do you really have to ask??!?!?! Isn't it obvious enough???

Third book!!!! I'm hungry for youuuu! :)

Review: The Naked Marquis

The Naked Marquis by Sally MacKenzie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


  "How could she want to slap him silly one moment and the next, wrap her hands around him as if she'd never let go?"



Lol. This one is a good book. It's during these times that I want to read other types of books. Away from the paranormal stuff and teeny bop dramas. Just indulge myself with steamy Englishmen and their British rules. It wasn't really that steamy. Ha! It's a funny story with just a bit mystery.
It's refreshing actually.

The quote above kinda reminded me of Damon Salvatore (Vampire Diaries) lol! I know! I can't get away from the paranormal world. Ha!

Well, I'm sure Major Charles Draysmith is a really fun character. :)He can be funny and sexy at the same time. His stares are not really leery, more like a sexy come on. Ha! Miss Emma Peterson can say that again, i know, she has a crush going on since she's a kid. Ha!

I like the Claire and Isabelle calling them Papa Charles and Mama Peterson! It's sooooo cute! :)

Review: River Cast

River Cast by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ohhh boy! Here goes.

I love the 1st book more than this. But it's still soooo good :)

Here are my comments:

Alone/ Lost
Jaeden suffered a lot in the first book. As in really suffered. I was very sad for her then and i am still sad at the beginning if this book. She scared because she don't know how to deal with her love ones and it made her leave them behind. I admire her though in this one because she was still able to face some those fears. With a little help from her mate :)

Caia, i really felt her in this one. You know not being able yo confide with the person she loves because she thinks he's in love with another. Arrrgh! She really really needed him! Plus Sebastian wasn't there anymore for her!!! :( boy, she can really control herself. Even though it's breaking her heart. :( want me to show you how she's hurting?

“I haven’t lost what you have. I’m sorry you can’t be with the person you want.”

and

Not being able to confide in anyone had brought on a fresh wave of grief over losing Sebastian. If she’d been given the chance to tell Seb she thought Midnights might not be so bad after all... he’d have believed her. No questions asked.

Love
Everyone is in love! Caia, Lucien, Jaeden, Ryder, Laila, Vilhelm! :) love is in the air! Oh! Very possessive lycans in the leash! Ha!

Deception/ War
Really vampyre? I haven't really figure out yet if you're evil or not. Guess i'll find in the last book.
Marita, you know what, i really hate you!

“We were just discussing that. After all, you two aren’t going to commit to your mating, and Lucien and I would have been mates if he hadn’t been obligated to fulfil his father’s betrothal to you.”
----- whatta bitch!!!! I hate this girl!!

One more quote, this one i love:
She would tell you that in the end we only have ourselves, no matter how many friends, allies, or loved ones are in our lives. You have to trust yourself before you can trust anyone else.

Review: The Selection

The Selection by Kiera Cass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another awesome read right here! I can't believe i let this book waiting in my shelf for a loooong time! Not only am i excited about the story, i'm also excited because CW will be airing this show next year! Or maybe later this year!

Okay, first thing, i really enjoyed this book! Like they all said it's inspired by The Bachelor with some Hunger Games - ish added to the mix.

What i like about the characters:

America Singer, at first i was kinda doubting her personality, because i don't know what she really feels. Okay, not really. Ha! I was kinda questioning her love for Aspen. Maybe she really does trust him at first, because she've been really faithful to him. Then he broke her heart. The heartbreak was really reasonable if i say so myself! She was really broken. And plus points for her because she was making herself heal not by jumping to the next guy at once but by just opening herself to friendship with Maxon. I really like it how she's in love with Aspen. He's like her only world and happiness. How much she gave herself wholeheartedly to him. Saving all those money for them/future. Not afraid of the consequences of their relationship. It was also acceptable to me how she forgave Aspen. I mean come on! I don't blame her for being weak. She LOVED the guy for 2 years! Plus they ended it pretty badly! She missed him too!
As for her 'growing'-more-than-friendship with Maxon, well who wouldn't want a friend right? She did it because she admitted that she doesn't want to win his heart. Straightforward like that. She can't help it if Maxon can't help himself. PLUS it was normal for her again to react that way because meaning consider winning The Selection, really, if she thought that Aspen really did move on she should as well. She shouldn't hold herself back to other possibilities right? Besides she said she would TRY. She didn't immediately said yes to Maxon.

Maxon Scheazer, wow you are so dreamy in a very pure way. Lol. He was a gentleman! I don't know what to say really. Just that i like him for being like the way he is. I really hope you find the one that will love you as much as you love the girl. Idk if it's America though. Aspen is still there! You don't even know that you already saw the "dog" who hurt America!!!

Aspen Leger, i was in love with you because America really loves you from the beginning of this book. But i doubted you also because i thought you cheated with America and also it's more like you were greatly attracted to her in a physical way. You are always kissing her! Lol. But that was countered by all those emotional stuff and family and all. So i still like you. And that wink you gave at the end of the book, you are so ready for that challenge! Gosh! Melts.

Okay some of the quotes that i LOVED!!:

1.) “America Singer, one day you will fall asleep in my arms every night. And you’ll wake up to my kisses every morning. And then some.”
------- who in the world would not fall in love just by hearing this? Okay i know Mer is already in love with him, so maybe she her love increased or heartbeat got really fast or something.

2.) “I do, Mer. That’s the point. I can’t make you like me. I can’t stand the thought of you hungry or cold or scared. I can’t make you a Six.”
------ this was one of those heartfelt words that countered the physical attraction. He really cares about her! C'mon! A martyr right here!

3.) "Maybe he’s even with the girl from my send-off. I don’t know. And I can’t do anything about it. But the thought of going home and watching it… I just can’t, Maxon....”
------- see how broken-hearted America was. :((

4.) “Maxon, I hope you find someone you can’t live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it’s like to have to try and live without them.”
------ yep. That's America Singer for you.

5.) “Love you again?” I asked incredulously. “Aspen, I never stopped.”
----- see! I just love this.

I cannot wait for the second book! And the TV series!!!!

Review: The Golden Lily

The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm not bias or anything i swear! Okay maybe I am. I really really love Adrian Ivashkov that's why i'm giving this 4stars!!! Oh c'mon everyone who is a VA fan will surely adore him in this book!!!! :)

Okay since I don't know how to say how i definitely love this book, i'm gonna comment about the characters....

Sydney, is like one of the most innocent and powerful person! I just love how naive she is sometimes yet she's a very intellectual at the same time!

Adrian, i am so in love with you! I can't even begin how he changed in Palm Spring! It's like by just meeting Sydney, all fell in to right places. He's still cocky and always joking around but it's different in Sydney's perspective. She totally saw the boy who is in pain. The guy who had gotten his heart broken and the man who made his way and effort to achieve something.

Eddie, gosh i really pity him. He should be happy considering all his efforts and focus in his work. He should be able to tell the person he loves about how he feels.

Jill, i wish you could at least do something about him. Please. I like that kind of love story.

Angeline, please leave Eddie alone?

Trey, in some weird reason, i want you to like Sydney in more than just a friend. Hahaha

Here are some spoiler quotes, i just really have to react! Haha

1.) "Ever had that happen? Once you can’t have something, you want it that much more.”
---- yeah. This reminds me of a lot things. One being Rose Hathaway.

2.) "Which is scarier: walking into a den of crazy, murdering humans or being with safe—though kind of wacky-
vampires and half vampires? I know the hang-up you Alchemists have with us, but is the loyalty to your own race so strong that … I don’t know … that the people themselves don’t matter?”
---- i know why he asked this. It's obvious that he really has starting to have feelings for her. He understands her point of view but he still has this hope that maybe it wont cloud her heart or what she wants for life. Sad part here is that I don't think it's enough for her as of now

3.) "On impulse I took off my cross necklace and pressed it into his hand. “This time, keep it for real. Hold onto it until I return. If you get too worried, look at it and know that I’l have to come back for it. It goes realy wel with khakis and neutral colors.”
---- this is like one of those awww moments!!! Very sweet in an innocent way. :)

4.) Adrian stood there leaning against the doorframe, watching me with his heart in his eyes. In my chest, my own heart was breaking. On my cheek, the lily reminded me who I was.
I turned from him and walked away, refusing to look back.
---- OMG. Omg! Omg! Yeah i know.

Review: First Drop of Crimson

First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ok. so why 4STARS??

here are my reasons.
1. 1 star = Spade and Denise romance. :) i mean I like that they fell in love with each other. and HOW they ended up like that. :) I like romance so why not make that sexy vampire get some romance right? Even more, why not Cat's best friend Denise? they are perfect because they have something big and painful in common.

2. 1 star = BONES and CAT's appearance! hell yeah! they deserve a star! oh yeah! I was really happy to see them here!

3. 1 star = my sudden attraction and crush on Ian. i know, i never saw that one coming. ha ha. I think the reason for this was because of his nasty humor, manipulative self, still a loyal friend and i think because he's still not taken. ha ha.

4. 1 star = DEMONS and SHAPESHIFTERS! yes. DEMONS! i mean I saw in the short story from Weddings from Hell that this series have demons in it, but I never expected it to have a close encounter with the major characters. AND now there are shapeshifters too! :)

Review: Last Sacrifice

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY RIGHT NOW.
Well, I LOVE THE BOOK. :)
There are some parts that I wasn't expecting but then there are some that I am sure of. :)

so review review. I'm not actually in the mood to write a review. but well, i just want to blabber right now. sooo here goes.

I love the book. again why? well because there are some of the things that I've expected to happen! but sadly there are also things that i wasn't expecting which frustrates me because there are some that are shocking yet ok, and there are some that are shocking in a sad sad way.

here are some of my points...

***SPOILERS***

1. Friendship. I LOVE Rose and Dimitri's friendship in this book. the idea that they got the chance to talk again and give advice/ support to each other was just amazing. I was really happy when they are starting to have that connection again. Having someone there for you makes your life a little bit easy because you know you have someone to lean on. and that happened between the two of them. of course Lissa and Rose have that kind of connection too. No matter what Rose encounters she's still there for Lissa. She knows that she will die trying to protect her and that's a wonderful kind of trait in a friend. Same with Lissa, she's really trying to clear Rose name and whatever she has to do even when she doesn't want to do them she's still does it anyway. i also like Rose and Sydney's friendship. Sydney was brave enough to trust Rose even if she's afraid. Her strength is worth-knowing in this book. Then there's Adrian. gosh that guy really knows how to make me swoon. I mean even if he's not the fighting type of guy he still do some of the things that he usually doesn't for his friends and well for Rose as well. Eddie, that guy will do anything to help a friend even if he's life is on the line or his career. even Mikhail and Sonya.

2. Pain. Dimitri's pain. gosh. that guy knows how to make himself suffer. both him and Rose. good thing they have each other to help themselves. I understand why Dimitri feels guilty and shuts himself from loving someone and living his life. But well, Rose has a point as well, the present is all that matters now. you should appreciate the little things around you because it's what you have right now. enjoy it, embrace it before it's too late. then there's Dimitri realizing that having a second chance is a gift that shouldn't be put to waste. When Rose went a little crazy there, i was scared that she might totally go insane. Adrian's pain is really really uhmm i don't know. HUGE. come to think of it having the strength and love of your life turn away from you that is devastating. He told Rose that she destroyed his life. and that's a very HUGE statement. i know he's bitter but who wouldn't be he got cheated on. no matter what Rose and Dimitri did even if they are meant for each other, that still doesn't leave the fact that because of them someone's life got crushed. Also he's vulnerable. when he asked Rose if he's going insane just like the others, he's scared of that! and he believes Rose is his strength. :(( (Adrian!! i am here for youuuu!)

3. Honor. I know Rose was upset about killing Victor. yes it is wrong to kill someone like that but she's not in control. same as Dimitri being a strigoi before. I respect Dimitri's "honor" for not taking someone else's girl. but then he still had sex with Rose after saying all that. LOL i find that funny but then I still love that they got back together. :)

4. LOVE. I am really happy with Abe and Janine together. i hope they have a novella or something. you know like with Lissa's parents. :) Sonya and Mikhail. that reunion was really a great moment for them. the crying and the hugging and the kissing. perfect reunion. they were able to forgive and forget because of their love for each other. awww. I WISH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ROSE and DIMITRI in Spirit Bound. but then it's ok. i love drama. :) Christian and Lissa are still the best couple in this series. they both love each other so much. Christian being a very supportive boyfriend from the start and Lissa returning all of her love just for him. those two are really inseparable. i do wish there are a lot of Christian-Lissa scene. :) Then there's Rose and Dimitri. i knew they'd end up together!!!! i knew it! and I am very happy about it. how they'd come to realize that their love is forever and never really left both of them. how they are completely in sync. how their auras match. how they protect and really care for each other. they have experience LOTS of hardships and pain in their life yet now they were able to have their happy ending. i am just sooooo gleeful i might cry. it's weird though, i didn't cry in this book. unlike the others I always cry. hmmm. then there's also Adrian's love. gosh i really really want to hug him right now!!!! i know he's in pain. and I know he loves Rose so much. but Rose is right, she's not the one for him. that's really hard to accept especially if you really know deep inside that he/she is the one for you then get rejected by that person. aaaaaaaaaaargh. i just really hope I get to read more of Adrian in the spin-off.

other shocking news: TASHA!!!!!!!! i didn't see that one coming. also Jill. i mean i know i'll be seeing her in this book but not THAT kind of situation. Dimitri and Adrian helping Rose TOGETHER. huh.

what i expect for the spin-off. MORE OF ADRIAN of course! also Jill. i don't know but i have this weird vibe about Adrian-Jill love story. i mean it's a possibility considering her crush on Adrian, and Adrian like her, but then maybe it's just brotherly or something. more Sydney as well! and Eddie!!!!! i believe these guys will be the center of the spin-off series.

Review: Hex Hall

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

oooh! I LOVE IT!!!
Sophie is one funny, sarcastic character! I like her a lot.
Sophie kinda reminds me of Evie in Paranormalcy, also Evernight, what with the whole Archer and Sophie thing.

What I like about this book...
well, first, it has some spunk. lol. I really like Sophie. Her character is strong, funny and sarcastic. She's also kind of weird, she says. She's a loyal friend and she loves her mother. I feel sorry for her about not knowing anything about her father and not even meeting him in person. But well, she really handled it pretty well. AND to have a vampire best friend, now that is just brave. :)I like that she's powerful but she doesn't know anything about it, let alone use it. :) Also I like how she thinks. She's a little crazy sometimes that I just can't help but laugh while reading.

Archer, i really like that boy. i mean he's like this boy next door who's funny and easy to talk to. I love him. :) I understand why Sophie can't help but have a crush on him. I mean any guy who's like that and is paying attention to you, it's hard not get attracted. Not to mention he's REALLY good looks.

The vampire best friend, i like her supportive self.
Elodie and her coven, lol kind of like mean girls. I like how they are the meanies in that school, but it's irritating too. I am not gonna elaborate anymore because well it's irritates me just by thinking about them.

Cal, i thought something might go on with them and Sophie. lol He's a JOCK! so i thought you know... something romantic. lol

what i want to know now after reading the book...
spoiler alert

i want to know what will happen to Sophie and Archer! yes! what will happen to their love relationship. after their last encounter, i think it won't be an easy reunion.
Will Sophie go through Removal????
what about her demon self??

oooh can't wait! :)

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. :)
