Review: Until Friday Night

Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*sob*

. Aunt Coralee: In life we often have to make decisions that aren’t easy. But it doesn’t mean they aren’t right.

Maggie: But what if they’re wrong?

Aunt Coralee: fate steps in and fixes things. You just have to trust it.

It’s not TFIOS but yeah, when you know there’s a character that is going to die, it hard not to think of it. Well, on UFN it’s not the lover that is going to die.

I think this is an another side of Abbi Glines I never seen (well in this case, read) before.

#MUSTREAD


*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.


• It was very raw and honest. And it has so much angst that it’s hard not to affect me. And I think, you’re THAT numb if you don’t.

• As bad as it sounds. I just want to end his suffering, because I really do feel it. I kept on wishing please, please, please.
It’s just that I don’t want the people in our house see/hear me crying.

• It’s kinda weird that the first part was very slow paced and then... suddenly I was turning the last page.

• It’s also weird that TFIOS had a huge impact on me. UGH! Even there’s no connection or whatsoever.

Review: The Lies About Truth

The Lies About Truth by Courtney C. Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars!
Lies. Lies. Lies.Lies. Lies.

But here’s some truth… this book is really good.

I’m impressed.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• Ha! I’m back with Project–Read–YAContemporary–Novels. *eye roll* Yes I just made that up… like a minute ago.

• I love the cover… but you have to admit… the guys there are older than the characters by much much.

• I don’t know what is wrong with me. When I read… for example, a Romance book that is written by one of my fave author sometimes I ended up disappointed. So I don’t know why I evade reading YAC… when they are this good.

• OR MAYBE, HarperCollins just happen to have an amazing collection.

• The Truth About Lies is a story of four friends grieving from the lost of their dearest friend/brother.
Sadie, Max, Grey and Gina. They are less than a month away from the one-year anniversary of Trent death. A death caused by an accident which they are all in.
What really happened that day?

• They met again… talked about that night.
That’s when they discovered the secrets, the lies and everything.
Now… they are on the ‘mission’ on making memories

Review: The Copper Gauntlet

The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars!!!

“The end is closer than you think, Makar.” –Warren

Yeah!
Cassandra Clare and Holly Black did not disappoint!

5 STARS B****es! SO GOOD! I LOVE IT!

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• The Copper Gauntlet is more adventurous than The Iron Trial. I liked that they went outside the Magisterium. (I know it’s against the rules.) I also this one is more fun.

• My only gripe on this book is that it’s too short… I mean much as I love it, I kinda wanted. I waited a year. Duh!

• I wish there’s more of the Copper Year thingies. I love their studies on The Iron Trial; it’s one of my favorite.

• I also love that I got to know more of the main characters, the world and wonders of Magisterium, which I think is cool.

• The last part… it was almost like the first one. You gotta step it up.
But ‘THE HEAD’ thingy, damn, that was so effing creepy as hell…

• The Copper Gauntlet did not remind me of Harry Potter any more.
And I realized that after I finished it. Kudos for that! *thumbs up*

• But the thing is this series is definitely going to be on my every year’s TO-READ list.

• And I really do wish it was longer…

Review: Queen of Shadows

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 STARS!!!
I did not enjoyed reading Queen of Shadows that much.
Why? WHY? F***ING WHY?!
I’m still heartbroken.
Chaol & Celaena are really done. And I am so fucking done. UGH!
It’s like I want to cry over it but I am beyond pissed off.
I lost hope… I’m went in a bad mood and I really hate Aelin.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• She’s Aelin now… and well I really hate typing her name… I always get the spelling wrong.
*eye roll*

• I don’t know if it’s just me or I just really hate the idea of Chaol is being replaced. Do you guys love Aelin & Rowan romance thingy? As much I love Rowan and his thingy… *giggle*…I don’t see or feel any chemistry. I’m sorry. It’s like Jamie & Cersei Lannister. I think Sarah J Mas is trying really hard to pair the two of them. And I think I will never be okay with it.

• Well, let’s put aside my gripes. The things happened are actually good.
So many things… and I can’t wait on what is going to happen next.
DAMN! I can’t even think of a scenario that… I can be excited for the months I am going to wait for the next book. And I really love that about how it ended.

• AND #SPOILERALERT Arobyn fucking Hamel is dead! YESSS! One of the best news in FICTION WORLD. *thumbs up*

• Oh yeah! I almost forgot.
Dorian and that freaky Manon. Hmmm…
WHAT NOW?
ME = VOMITING

• Speaking of Dorian… and the thing happened on the previous book. The collar thingy, damn I thought he’s going to be the most evil thing and then…
I kinda wanted more of that. Yes I don’t want the collar on him but… what now?
WHO IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT ‘EVIL’?

• *fingers crossed*
I think/ the next book will be years after this one.

Review: Dirty Promises

Dirty Promises by Karina Halle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

And the worst part was, as much as I was falling out of love … I still loved him something terrible.
Love was a terrible thing.

OhMyGod!

THAT IS IT?! NO MORE JAVIER BERNAL?!

Honestly, I am not satisfied AT ALL.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the book so much. But this one is full of violence, gore and etc.
I want to see the soft… softer & romantic side of Javier Bernal. I miss that… very much.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• There is this scene that I am not going to forget anytime soon. DAMN!
O.O
He made her shorter than him because she said men shorter than her is not her type.
I mean… he used a machete. O.O
It’s giving me chills.

• It was scarier than most Horror books. It’s not a Horror book but it was horrifying enough to be one. You don’t want be on Javier Bernal’s bad side.

• I hate Esteban… who doesn’t?
And then he and Luisa… *vomit* *vomit* *vomit*

• I want more… I’m not satisfied… I want a REAL ending.

Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson [ARC REVIEW]

Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I reached the last page…
It’s so weird… I felt triumphant… successful… it’s like I accomplished something that is so big.
So cool!
It was like I was with them throughout their journey, not as reader but as a character.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.


• It has this “something” you are always looking on a book.

• I’m not sure if there’s going to be a sequel… but I kinda like it how it is.
I’m thinking of something that might happen if there’s a sequel… I just can’t.
The best thing about this is the “journey” to the gold rush.

• This one is a must read I recommend it to everyone. You’re going to love it as much as I did. *thumbs up.

• Reading Walk on Earth a Stranger is an experience. Don’t miss it!

• PS: In wish my ARC has a map. *grin*

• PSS: I wrote this review after I finished reading it. So I just saw on goodreads that it’s going to be a Trilogy.

The Fate of Ten by Pittacus Lore [REVIEW]

The Fate of Ten by Pittacus Lore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I’m not putting myself before the whole world, John. I wanted to see a future where Setrákus Ra is killed, no matter the consequences.
I wanted to see a future where someone has the guts to do what needs to be done.”–Ellla

OHEMGEE!

WHAT THE F JUST HAPPENED?

SHE’S DEAD?!

FOR REAL?

*gasp*

WOOH! YAY!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I mean… I’m not a big fan of her, even if she dead it’s not that big deal for me. *shrug*
Well… just don’t make ‘him’ go berserk.
I do feel like, in some way that she is kinda hindrance to what the Garde’s mission. Its better this way.

• And then it turns out she just passed out. #notreallydead

• Setrákus Ra… I’M NOT SO SURE IS HE TOO IS DEAD.
DUH! There’s another book coming… it can’t not have a villain.

• Speaking of the next book. How many months are going to wait exactly? UGH!
Damn Pittacus Lore’s cliff–effing –hangers.

• Pittacus Lore–THE CHARACTER NOT THE AUTHOR.
OH MY GOD!
I LOVE THAT PART!

• And the war is like… starting to be real. Though I wish Pittacus Lore, the author, will make it bloodier. You know? The gorier the more fun. #BLOODTHIRSTYME

• I kinda wish that Mark had powers/Legacies too, like Sam. Lucky Sam.

• John’s Legacy–YES! I knew he’s more than just that. *thumbs up* I approved.

• *crossed fingers*
I hope that the whole gang will finally REALLY meet.

Review: Kick Push

Kick Push by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

GOOD ONE THERE! HAH! I LOVE IT!
2015 MUST READ!

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• It’s been… a looong time since a book made me ‘feel’. It made me cry, happy, angry and frustrated.

• Honestly, I’m okay with not reading the (coming) second book. This is so good.
Though, if the second book has some good reviews I might. But I really feel like the story is done to me. I don’t want more. I’m happy how it ended.

• The story is really good, although I think the writing should level up a bit. I mean… it that powerful for me. I didn’t say the writing is not good… I said it should level up. *grin*

• CHARACTERS:

o Joshua–I admit the first part did it to me. I LOVE IT!
I shed a few tears. It’s like watching a movie. The one playing Joshua deserves an Oscar.
When I think of this book, that’s the first scenes that comes to my head.
DAMN! It’s so heartbreaking.
Joshua’s childhood is not bad. It’s almost perfect, he had loving parents, and they supported him on his passion–skating, he’s a god on skating world–and of course a girlfriend who loves him and his best friend.
At sixteen, Joshua got his gf preggers. Then after they told his parents, they kick him out. So they went to her parents… all is okay, they survived the labor. At seventeen, Joshua had a son. One day, the gf left. Joshua and his son, Tommy got kicked out from the gf’s parents’ house. A-HOLES!
HOW WILL HE AND HIS SON SURVIVED?!

o Becca–you can check all my reviews on goodreads and you’ll see that if the character on books had demons and shady past. Most of them, I get irritated. No offense with these people… But on books… ugh! They act so so… and it turns out it not that shady. It’s not believable.
Surprisingly, that not the case here… maybe because her demons… are hardcore or something… it makes me sympathize. The whole time I was reading, I keep on asking, what is wrong with her?! Its frustrating but I want to know the answer.
Describe her, hmm… because of an accident from her past she can’t ‘over speak’… speak too much… She likes taking photos and she craves man’s touch and repel on other touch. And yeah… I think there’s a shrink inside her.

o Tommy–he is Josh’s son. He’s so cute! I wanna met him. *grin*

o Chazarae–she’s the one who helped the father and son. Well I just want to thank her.
So… THANK YOU!

o Natalie–she is Tommy’s mum and Josh’s ex. The one who left them.
I understand her reasons for leaving them… But coming back like everything is fine is just… UGH!
What an effing bitch!
• The part where Joah and his dad reconcile… well and the part where Josh trying to reconcile with his dad. One of the best parts. LOVE IT! *thumbs up*

Review: Crossroads

Crossroads by Riley Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH GOD! I LOOOOOOOOVE IT!
*thumbs up*
You did it again Riley Hart! AWESOMESAUCE!

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• I just read the blurb and I’m sooooo so sold. Just reading it makes you ask some questions… and yeah, to find the answers.
SO GOOD! #MUSTREADBOOKOF2015

• I’m pretty sure no one wrote a story like this one.
Two straight guys falling in love. I don’t know if it’s possible in real life. But damn! Just thinking of it makes me hot. *fanning my face*

• When you see Riley Hart’s books… don’t second guess, buy it! I assure you she NEVER disappointed me.

Review: Every Last Breath

Every Last Breath by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, I just want to say that whenever Roth uses the word ‘wee’, it makes my head hurt. IRRITATING.

Honestly, the first part of this book bored me to death. MEANS it did not start very good. I yawned a lot.
I think I finished four or five books before I picked it up again.
And halfway through it… THE REDEMPTION. I felt it you know?
The feeling of, oh man, this starting to be good. *roll eyes*
Then I finished it.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• I am 99.99% sure that the story is not finished. Maybe JLA is done writing Layla & Roth’s love story but not this ‘world’.

• Honestly, I did not enjoy the first two books of this series as much I enjoyed and loved JLA other series. And I obviously did not love the first part of this book.
I think I kinda know the answer now.
I’m pretty sure that never in a million years I would think that gargoyles are hot. It’s really weird.
And then there’s part of book that explained EVERYTHING. *BOOM*
Everything made sense now and the girl had feather and everything. *grin*

• So ‘THE REDEMPTION’ was when Layla started to ‘change’.
*roll eyes* I know I’m too judgmental.

• And… I really do think that they converse a lil bit too much.

The White Rose by Amy Ewing [ARC REVIEW]

The White Rose by Amy Ewing
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finished it in one sitting!
AWESOME! LOVE IT!
I think I had this book since… May 2015.
And that time I’m really not in the mood reading YA. So now that I am… I finished it so fast and love everything about it.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Jewel ended with Violet giving Raven the ‘poison that will make her look like dead but not really dead’ from Lucien that she is supposed to take.

• Now… they are on the run.
And it’s so fun. They just went from the Jewel… to the Banks then to the Smoke and their destination: the Farm. I mean it makes it more realistic by being the characters experiencing/seeing what the people from those factions do.

• MY ANSWERD QUESTIONS FROM THE JEWEL.
o Why rich people do need surrogates? And when/how it started?

o Where the Auguries did came from?

o How /why they built the wall?

• So yeah, were going to find lil bit about the history of the Lone City. Hidden.. long lost history of Lone City.

• I think this is 10x better than the first book.

• WHAT IS ‘THE WHITE ROSE’?
Two things… well three
1ST – it’s the title of the book. *grin*
2ND –it’s the place where our heroes will going to start their ‘uprising’.
3RD –it’s someone’s codename.

• Their powers kinda reminded me the Garde’s Legacies. (Pittacus Lore, Lorien Legacies)

Review: Bitter of Tongue

Bitter of Tongue by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

　“Fortunate is the one who knows the name of their heart. They are the ones whose hearts are never truly lost. They can always call their heart back home.
Do you remember the name of your heart, Simon Lewis?”
　“I think so,” Simon whispered.
–Mark Blackthorn

This is probably one of my least favorite Tale.
Well, I gave it 5 stars… because big chunk of it is really good. It’s just that the near end part ruined it for me.
It’s so OBVIOUS it was meant to promote the next book of Cassandra Clare.

*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.

• Well, there nothing wrong on promoting it. Most authors do it. But damn… I don’t like it when it happens.

• It is really awful. I mean, what they did to Mark Blackthorn. It is the time when you kinda hate the Shadowhunters. But could have they done? UGH! HEARTBREAKING.

• I wonder, after this series, if Simon is going to Ascend? I mean… he doesn’t really agree with some beliefs of Shadowhunters, he has his own opinions… (I do too.)
Maybe he’s going to be bitten by a vampire again. GOSH! That would be so COOL! WAHAHAHA
I think Jon will wet his sexy pants.
• I really like George… *sigh* I’m going to miss him…

Map to the Stars by Jen Malone [ARC Review]

★★★★★Goodreads Summary: Author Jen Malone draws on her real-life experiences as a movie studio publicist to bring you an insider peek at love, Hollywood-style. 

The California dream was supposed to give seventeen-year-old Annie Shelton a fresh start far removed from her dad’s unusual betrayal. But when things don’t go according to plan in La La Land, Annie’s mom snags a last-minute gig as makeup artist to a teen movie idol and finagles a spot for her daughter on his European promotional tour.

Down-to-earth Annie would rather fangirl architectural sights than an arrogant A-lister. That is, until behind-the-scenes Graham Cabot turns out to be more sweetly vulnerable than she could have imagined. 

Too bad falling for a poster boy isn’t all red carpets and star treatment, especially when you factor in obnoxious fans, an overprotective assistant, a stage mom/manager, and a beefy bodyguard.

But it isn’t until the paparazzi make an appearance that things get really sticky…
Honestly… I’m never been a big fan of books with Hollywood themes. *grin*
I think you changed that… well kinda.
I just realized that Hollywood-themed YA ones are waaaay cooler than those Adult ones.

*MC’s Corner* 

Note: Spoilers.

• I hate long YA Contemporary books. So this, being that short is a plus points. Though… ironically I kinda wanted more. (You can slap my face now.)

• I read the little biography of Jen Malone by the end of the book… and it says that she worked on Hollywood… so I think this make it next to believable.
There are some things/scenes in there that is… kinda hard to, you know, believe?
THAT REALLY HAPPENS IN HOLLYWOOD?
*shrug*
(I always check the “About the Author” part before I start reading a book… so thank God!

• THE THING IS… don’t date a celebrity unless you plan on becoming one. (LOL… as if I can find a celebrity that I can date. *high*)

• This book I recommend it for girls… I don’t think it’s for boys.

Grey (Fifty Shades, #4) by E.L. James (REVIEW)

★★★★★
GOODREADS SUMMARY: See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey.

In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.

Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty—until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him—past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.  
Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him?
Okay… I’m just going to ask this first…
Is there going to be a Darker and Freed books on Christian’s POV?

Say YES, please!
________________

Thank you EL James for this AMAZING book!
L-O-V-E I-T!

I don’t remember when was the first time I finished reading Fifty Shades Freed, I’ve been wanting this (Grey) that long. There’s a bonus part in there with the first Part of Fifty Shades of Grey on Christian’s perspective. GOSH! I mean... whenever–after rereading–I came to that part, I just want to reread the story all over again.
A couple of years and a movie later… TADA!
I’m so glad EL James wrote Grey in a full-length novel. *thumbs up*

If you’re a big fan of the trilogy and Christian-fucking-Grey you MUST read this!

“I’ve never wanted more, until I met you.”–Christian Grey

*MC’s Corner* 
Note: Spoilers.
DON’T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS… or whatever contraceptive you’re using. YOU MIGHT GET PREGNANT. 
This book is intended for mature audiences.

• Okay… YES it’s a lil bit disappointing that EL James didn’t present us with a new story and characters. Instead its ‘just’ Fifty Shades of Grey told by Christian Grey. Same story, same plot just different person telling the story.
BUT… who doesn’t want be inside Christian-fucking-Grey’s head? DUH!
The thing is… I don’t understand those people (on twitter and etc) ‘bashing’ and telling negative things about the release of this book and to EL James. I mean… it’s very simple: if you don’t want to read it then DONT. Stop making so much fuss about it. *GRRRRR*
The other thing… so many authors does this thing why EL James can’t?

• Whenever I read the first three books I always wonder what Christian thinking is. GOSH!
I love being inside CTG’s head. His dreams, past… and dirty thoughts.
This is absolutely fucking sexy and fabolous. I love it!
When you read Grey, youre going to ‘see’ the parts where Ana is… not there. LOL. Those part where even Ana doesn’t know.
It’s like filling those blanks on Fifty Shades of Grey.

• I think when I plan rereading the series again I’m going to start reading Grey first.
Though... if you guys who haven’t read the series… I don’t advice it. Uh-uh… not a great idea... this book is a #SUPERDUPERSPOILER.

• The difference and likes of Fifty Shades of Grey andGrey.
Beside the one talking… I don’t think there’s that much difference.
Its still as good and the scenes… emailing…. are as amusing as the other. NAKAKAKILIG! *giggle*

• Okay… I wish there’s a translation with the French tête-à-tête of Christian and Mia.

• Whenever I see Leila’s name… I wanna puke. And those parts where Christian is recalling his time with her… UGH! I just want to grab her by the head… and remove all those hairs. *rawr*
AND THOSE WITH MRS. ROBINSON! OHMIGOD! DON’T START WITH THAT! *glaring at her name*

• DID YOU KNOW THAT MY FAVORITE CHRISTIAN PICE OF CLOTHING HAS A NAME?
Christian calls it DJ: Dom Jeans.
He’s so hot with them. *fanning my face*
…and without them.

• So… Grey ended planning the days before he’s going see Ana again and to fly her to José’s show.
So yeah… those days before that are some kind of… bonus parts, i.e. Christian building the glider.

• NAKAKALOKA!

• LEAST FAVORITE PART OF THIS BOOK: THE COVER.
I wish it’s Jamie Dornan I’m seeing. #JUSTSAYING

• #PRAYINGFORTHENEXTONETOHAPPEN

Blue Steel Chain by Alex Beecroft (Trowchester Blues, #3) [ARC] Review

★★★★
GOODREADS SUMMARY: At sixteen, Aidan Swift was swept off his feet by a rich older man who promised to take care of him for the rest of his life. But eight years later, his sugar daddy has turned from a prince into a beast. Trapped and terrified, Aidan snatches an hour’s respite at the Trowchester Museum.

Local archaeologist James Summers is in a failing long distance relationship with a rock star, and Aidan—nervous, bruised, and clearly in need of a champion—brings out all his white knight tendencies. When everything falls apart for Aidan, James saves him from certain death . . . and discovers a skeleton of another boy who wasn’t so lucky.

As Aidan recovers, James falls desperately in love. But though Aidan acts like an adoring boyfriend, he doesn’t seem to feel any sexual attraction at all. Meanwhile there are two angry exes on the horizon, one coming after them with the press and the other with a butcher’s knife. To be together, Aidan and James must conquer death, sex, and everyone’s preconceptions about the right way to love—even their own. How disappointing that I didn’t know that it’s part of a series. I never read the first ones. But… that is not a prob. Because I found out that its part of a series after I finished reading it. 

*MC’s Corner* 
Note: Spoilers.

• It’s a good one… According to my reader I read it for about 4 hours…

• Sometimes, I felt like I’m at loss… like I was missing something.

• Both main characters… are pretty annoying. Annoying in the sense of… both of them being a giant fools. I want to… do violent things…. (LOL) GRRRR Nanggigigil ako ng sobra!

• I feel like I want to sit them both and talk to them… and asked them why are they still with “them”. Then after they leave the room… I’ll call them idiots. I know Im so bad.
*face… meet palm*

• The sensuality is up to the highest point. *Phew* I wish… you know, Aidan is not… #SPOILER

• I am the kind of reader who check who is the author before reading it. So the only chance I check out an author is by reading ARCs. Because I only read books for the authors I know… or if I saw it on Bestsellers. I think Im going to start reading Alex Beecroft future books! *thumbs up*

The Ninth Life of Louis Drax by Liz Jensen [Review]

★★★★★

Goodreads Summary: Louis Drax is a boy like no other. He is brilliant and strange, and every year something violent seems to happen to him. On his ninth birthday, Louis goes on a picnic with his parents and falls off a cliff. The details are shrouded in mystery. Louis's mother is shell-shocked; his father has vanished. And after some confusion Louis himself, miraculously alive but deep in a coma, arrives at Dr. Pascal Dannachet's celebrated coma clinic…Full of astonishing twists and turns, this is a masterful tale of the secrets the human mind can hide. 

…the boy came back to life, two hours after being pronounced officially dead.

I’m never been a fan of this genre in a book. I mean NEVER.

Not until I was reading my Glamour Magazine. There’s an interview there, of Jamie Dornan & Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) and there’s a ‘On Their Future’ thingy and Jamie answered “I’m filming The
9th Life of Louis Drax.” So yeah! I got curious and I found out its based on a book… *grin*
(Glamour 2015 Pg. 275)

It was so good! Few days after I finished reading it, I’m still ‘feeling’ it. It was a BOOK HUNGOVER. *thumbs up*
It kept me up all night, I finished it past midnight… 

*MC’s Corner* 
Note: Spoilers.

• First, thanks to this book I think I’m going to start reading books with this kind of genre. I’m kinda excited, I don’t know why.

• It was a slow paced with alternating point of view of Louis Drax & Dr. Pascal Dannachet. 
It wasn’t always on the same timeline. Sometimes Louis is on the present sometimes he’s just recalling his past. I kinda love how it was written. I love the interview style of telling a story.

• At first I thought this book is some sort of paranormal-thingy. But then the story goes on… I realized it’s mostly a ‘fantasy’ that a nine year old boy came up. I really didn’t know what to think then. 

• Liz Jensen captured the spirit of a nine year old boy. It was just amazing. I love it everytime Louis parts come up.

• There are some scenes that are so predictable. But you know what? It makes it even greater. Then I have this feeling that I-know-what-is-going-to-happen-next but still feeling the mystery that I still want and trying to solve.

• I love the way it ended. It’s just perfect!

Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson [ARC REVIEW]

★★★★

GOODREADS SUMMARY: Odea Donahue has been able to travel through people’s dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her the three rules of walking: Never interfere. Never be seen. Never walk the same person’s dream more than once. Dea has never questioned her mother, not about the rules, not about the clocks or the mirrors, not about moving from place to place to be one step ahead of the unseen monsters that Dea’s mother is certain are right behind them.

Then a mysterious new boy, Connor, comes to town and Dea finally starts to feel normal. As Connor breaks down the walls that she’s had up for so long, he gets closer to learning her secret. For the first time she wonders if that’s so bad. But when Dea breaks the rules, the boundary between worlds begins to deteriorate. How can she know what’s real and what’s not?



I think the most interesting part started at the very end.
This is just the ‘prequel’ for the next one.
Which I think there should be a prequel before this. It kinda started very heavy… I was looking for some support.

*MC’s Corner* 
Note: Spoilers.

• I honestly didn’t write any notes while I was reading it. Not because I was too focused on reading it just that I really don’t have anything that I can write. Maybe 70 percent of it didn’t interest me…
But I do sincerely think the concept is great. As I was saying awhile ago the last part started at the very end. It was… and if there is going to a sequel I am going to read it. (Well… if HarperCollins will still give me ARCs then. *grin*)

• If a book is a food… a writer is a chef… I guess some food have this special ingredient that people love and they keep on coming back and recommends it to some of their friends. 
Dreamland is a food that is perfectly cooked and well seasoned… the thing is it doesn’t have an oomph that will make other people like it too. Many will like it but I think some of them will choose to try another food.

• I recently made this ‘shelf’ on my head, literally. Dreamland belongs to this.
BOOKS FOR THOSE WHO ARE READING JUST TO PAST TIME NOT FOR THOSE READERS THAT MADE READING A HOBBY.

• There’s nothing to gripe on this book. The writing is okay, the concept is good, the characters are not annoying blah blah blah and the cover is awesome.

Playing Dirty (Monkey Business Trio, #1) by C. L. Parker [ARC Review]

★★★★★
GOODREADS SUMMARY: Shaw Matthews plays to win, and he intends to snag a coveted partnership at San Diego's hottest sports agency by signing America's top athlete. Only one woman stands in his way: rival agent Cassidy Whalen. But eliminating the competition will be Shaw's pleasure when he concocts an ingenious plan to seduce Cassidy and show the beautiful ballbreaker who's the better man for the job. That is, until Cassidy turns the tables—and their steamy encounters start breaking all the rules. 

Cassidy has worked hard to make it in a man's cutthroat arena, and she isn't going down without a fight, not even against the six-two alpha hunk whose rock-hard body awakens desires she's never known before. As Cassidy shares night after night of unending passion with Shaw, the game begins to change. Now Cassidy stands to lose everything—unless a fiery contest of wills can become a winning proposition for two people who keep raising the stakes. 

Playing Dirty is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences. 

ONE OF THE BEST AND HOTTEST I'VE READ THIS YEAR!

 Ohmigosh! OMG!
BOOK 2 PLEASE!!! I CANT WAIT!!!

*MC’s Corner*

Note: Spoilers.
• This book reminded me so much of Christina Lauren’s Beautiful Bastard (one of my fave books).
Since it’s been, I think, years since the last time I read that book it’s kind of refreshing. SO COOL!

• It only reminded me of Beautiful Bastard but it is a totally different story.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw this on the BestSellers. But I’m going to be disappointed if it wasn’t.

• I was surprised when I saw this email that they are giving an ARC of C.L. Parker new book. Its been weeks since the last time I checked my NetGalley account, I didn’t even requested it.
But I’m glad that they are gave me this. (I did a ARC review of C.L. Parker first two books)
To Bantam Books, thank you so much! It’s an honor. *kisses*

• Most of the scenes were… explosive. Like BAM! BANG BANG BANG kind of explosive.
It was so hooooOooT! Especially the limo ‘scene’ that turns out to be just a dream. LOL

• Is the second book still Shaw & Cassidy’s story? I felt like if it is there’s going to be a big accident.
Aaaand I kinda want to know what Quinn’s story is… pre &post Daddy I don’t care1 I want to know his story!!!

• My only gripe on this book is that, there are some unnecessary too much explanations for minoe characters.

• GIMME GIMME! THE NEXT BOOK!

Aftermath (After the Fall) by Tom Lewis [Review]

★★★★★GOODREADS SUMMARY: The end of the world came fast. Between the time the warning had sounded on the TV, till when 16-year-old Paige O’Connor awakened sometime later, civilization had been crushed. 

The attacks had come by “them” – those things in the ships in the sky that had appeared suddenly, and without warning. 

And as Paige would soon discover, the attacks had only been the beginning. 

Aftermath is the first book in the new After the Fall dystopian action series, which follows a young girl’s struggle for survival in the wake of civilization’s collapse, and humanity’s domination by an alien race of beings. 

First, I wanna say thank you to Tom Lewis for giving me a copy of this book. I really appreciate it! Thank you so much for the trust!

Now the book,

Surprisingly, it was good.
It was kinda short though.
What I like on my YA books are longer, but even though this one is short it worked.

I think this book is perfect for those who are travelling and those just chilling out. *thumbs up*

*MC's Corner* 
Note: Spoilers.

• The story/concept is brilliant. I like it.

• I love the way the story started. It was fun, action-filled and gory! So awesome!

• The way it was written is very simple. There's not much detailing, everything was straight forward.

• I think the concept is original, but as the same time its not that fresh. Its a book you can read if you’re extremely bored and you dont have anything to do or you dont have any other book that you wish to read.

• I like the book; I finished it after three and a half hours of reading.

• There are some elements of this book that reminds me of some YA books.
• There were like those scenes on these books were compiled together. It should be a bad thing but it’s really not. Im not feeling bitchy right now so I'm kinda kind, so yeah. *grin*

• I kinda have a little issue on Paige O'Connor's expertise on handling those (I think) high powered firearms (gosh! I dont know anything about guns.) It was kinda hard to believe. Yeah she has some background... blah blah blah. Now Im bitchy. O.O


• Is there a book two or something?

The Originals: The Rise (The Originals #1) by Julie Plec

★★★★★

GOODREADS SUMMARY: Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep. 

Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy…especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus's attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus's volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good?

*MC’s Corner*Note: Spoilers.

I only requested this book on NetGalley because I love The Originals TV show. Its one of my fave TV show right now.

I read some book that are also based on TV shows/movies, most of the times I don't finish them. Why? Because I already know the story, they just write what exactly the story of the show. They're boring.

So obviously I didn't expect myself to finish this. I am shocked when I saw that I finished this. And I am thankful that I read it. It was so good! I want more!

Julie Plec didn't write the story all over again, she wrote another story without losing what this book was based of. I even think its part of the story. This book and the TV show are connected.

If you love the TV show please grab a copy of The Originals: The Rise, you wont regret it!

You don't want to miss a romantic and in-love Klaus.And brokenhearted.
