The Shadow Queen by C.J. RedwineMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a honest review, so I’m being honest right now.
I think it was well-written. The concept was good, it was actually brilliant.
It just it doesn’t have that extra oomph I am looking for. If there’s a sequel I probably would not read it.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Let’s talk about the good thing first, I love, really love love love the heart thingy. Human heart, plants, water and etc. Then binding them with someone else’s heart. Really brilliant and magical.
• Another good thing is that I still remember some scenes. Bad thing I don’t remember how they looked liked in my head.
• I think the one that threw me off was the story itself, because concept-wise I loved it. The story, not so much. I mean it was the most predictable thing. Sometimes I like predictable, sometimes I don’t. So yeah.
• Well, I finished it, that’s a good thing. I did not stop and not finish it.

The Best Goodbye by Abbi GlinesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Grrr!!! That was so short!
But it was still lovely!!!
I love everything about this book except one. THE COVER, I don’t know, I just don’t feel it.
*MC’s Corner*
• WAAAH! ITS CAPTAIN! River Kipling. NAKAKALOKA!
LOVE HIM!
• You have to admit, this story has been told multiple times. The thing is is Abbi Glines also has this ability/undeniably awesome talent on making/writing these cliché stories (you have to admit they are) and making them fresh, cool and beautiful all over again. *thumbs up* I just love reading every seconds I spent reading this book.
• I have three gripes. First, Captain’s daughter is so annoying. She makes my head want to explode.
• Second, the cover. Uh-oh I am not feeling it at all. Sorry.
• Last, the last part. I just want to erase that in my mind. GRRRR.
• Still no plan on writing Jimmy’s story? *me sending daggers with my eyes*
• Gosh! I kinda miss Rush, maybe I’m going read their stories again.

Wick by Matt DoyleMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
Thank you so much to Mr. Matt Doyle for trusting me with his book! I do appreciate it a lot.
Wick is fun, cool andddd reminded me so much of animes.
Years ago I was a big anime fan and there’s no day I don’t watch. LOVE THEM.
Wick reminded me of those times. *thumbs up*
At first I thought of YuGi-Oh!, (which is actually, still one of my fave and also still own hundreds of trading cards, stored on a shoebox near my magazines and books *grin*) with the cards and battle arena thingies… and yeah the announcers. As the story goes, I thought of one anime –which title I forgot, sorry– but the story I did not. The story of it, if I remember it correctly, revolves around a boy with this device (like WICK, on this book) and they insert cards in them. And they have this characters, I think the name of the boy’s character is Rockman, and then they battle other characters (like RPG) on a actual virtual world. The cards are for powerups or something blah blah blahs.
So I guess what I am saying is if you loved animes especially those with trading cards you’ll appreciate this book even more, and yeah, understand it pretty quick.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• I kinda like the age gaps between the characters. And their names! They are so cool.
• Best parts were those on the Battle Zone. The fights were awesome, written really good. The announcers did a really good job describing them.
I wonder, though, can they converse/shout to their opponent while fighting?
There are some maneuvers, techniques of some kind of kick or punch that I don’t really understand but it’s still okay for me. I really did feel like I was watching the actual fight.
• I think it will work better if it there’s some illustrations; it was kinda hard to picture the Spark Forms inside my head. Then they are two, and fighting, sometimes I kinda forget what kind of species are they.

The Mirror King by Jodi MeadowsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*REVIEW FOR BOOK 1 & 2*
Honestly, I read the first book because I have the ARC for the second one. *grin*
I had the ARC for the first, but its only has a couple of chapters, so I never read it. *grin* blah blah blah…
Surprisingly, it was pretty good. I liked it a lot. And when I finished it, I got excited to read the next one. *thumbs up*
Now… if I compare it to Jodi Meadows’ previous Series, New Soul, I prefer that.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• (BOOK 1) I want to know more about the ‘magic’, I wanna know where it came from and maybe the origin of it.
• It seems those wraiths were so easily killed, I wonder why other people or maybe some guards (in there) can’t kill them. Why wait for the Black Mask to do the job?
• Also, I felt like everything Wilhelmina does is so easy even the circumstances are not. It’s hard to believe, for me. I get the she’s kickass and everything… still, tone it down a bit.
• The story is really good and memorable. I think of this book and instantly I get series of scenes inside my head. Kudos for that.
• The cover (book 1), I really don’t get it.
• Finished second book.
I’m pretty sure there’s no third book coming, no?
• I’m not sure, I felt like there are some missing parts (book 2), maybe it was really like that or just my ARC. Hmmm…
• I did not use the map. EVER. I don’t get the purpose of it.
• Black Knife and Wil… I wish they had more moments here on Mirror King. You know?
This is the time I want to put a pinch of romance, it lacks a bit. But you nailed their chemistry, I felt it.
• TWISTS- hmmm… there are more than a couple of them. Good and fun ones… wahaha!
I love (SPOILER ALERT) the one about James. I did not see that coming. OOOh!
• I still don’t understand why these wraiths are killing people. Doesn’t make sense to me.
(Answering my own question)
Why does someone commits murder? *raise left eyebrow*
• Both books are good; forget my blah blahs up there. I did enjoy them, no kidding. My gripes are mostly technicalities. Don’t mind them.
• MARKET – perfect for Young-Adult books readers. I approve! *thumbs up*

Unforgiven by Lauren KateMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
• It’s a lil bit weird for me.
You know that I love that this book is Cam’s but his girl’s name is Lillith.
It threw me off, truthfully. It just that it’s hard for me to love that character when her names denotes to demon. (No offense for those who actually has this name, but it true.)
I’ve read a couple of Nephilim books and they mostly have an evil character named Lillith.
• The whole vibe that this book gave me while reading it is so heavy. So sad and depressing. (A good thing for the author, because you succeeded with that.)
• I think the concept was good. The challenges Cam faced are really challenging, not only he has to make her (not saying her name again) fall in love with him, again, in fifteen days, he’s also has to survive school and the changes that is happening to his physical form. It was s good that, when I think of that, it was so clear inside my head. I’m grinning right now… I don’t know why. I must be mad.
• Let’s talk about Luce and Daniel… really?! OhMyGosh! That so so sad and… beautiful.

Distraction by Laura ClarkMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
*EBOOK COPY PERSONALLY GIVEN BY THE AUTHOR IN EXCHANGE OF HONEST REVIEW*
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Unfortunately, I did not finish it.
• I don’t think it’s a bad book. Yes, I gave up reading it, the thing is… I don’t think I am the right person to read this book.
It’s too girly for me… I am not a fan of girly books. And truthfully you should’ve given it to a female reviewer. (I do appreciate that you trusted me with this book and I am grateful for that.) But you market is girls. I don’t see any male readers reading this.
• I really do want to know who she is going to end up with… Sam or Trevor. But it’s taking so much of my time. I think it was written beautifully. You feel lots of things. l Especially annoyance to the slut–sorry to say, but she is–named Laila. WHATS WRONG WITH HER!!! SHE MADE MY BLOODN BOIL! GRRR…
• I think girls would love this, and maybe will relate to the characters.
• What’s up with the cover? Is she going to find a magic dress or something that can split her into two? Cause I want one. HA!
• Maybe I should just look at the last chapter. *grin*

Getting Rough by C.L. ParkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh Yeah! I LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for sending me an email to notify me with CL Parker’s new book is now available, and of course it being auto approved! MUCH LOVE FROM ME!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• One thing I love and what keeps me coming back to CL Parker books is that they are not too long and not too short. It was all well-balanced, the story, the characters, the twist and yeah, the length.
• Getting Rough… gosh! I enjoyed it very much, if Playing Dirty (book 1) is more to the seduction and games–playing dirty. This one leans more to–this may sound sappy–finding love, family and peace. It’s not all fun, there’s some bumps but ended all good! *thumbs up*
• I kinda hate Casey–Cassidy’s childhood sweetheart/the tattoo–he’s so… I don’t know? Why is he acting like that.
Well, now I forgive him… because he’s a very very hot lobsterman! *wahaha*
• I WANT QUINN & DENVER’S STORY! GOSH!!!
• #EVERYTHING:
o COVER – I approve, it was okay… though I think, if the story is like this. So good. The cover should be something more eye catchy not something like the other typical romance books.
o BACKDROP – FROM THE CITY TO THE SMALL TOWN. It was quite a transition. The people, their jobs and the aura, C.L. Parker captured it very well.
o BELIEVABILITY – It was a very good love story. I’d like to think they are real people. No joke.
o Market – I don’t know… but I think some guys might find this enjoyable.
o Compare to past books… I am a big fan of you C.L. Parker, and I am pretty sure I’ve read all the (published) books you wrote, I say they were pretty consistent. I love them all.
• MUST READ! GET YOUR COPIES! YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Soundless by Richelle MeadMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really thought it was a historical fiction or something.
I honestly didn’t question myself why the title was ‘Soundless’, I just opened and started reading it.
Then it just BAM! Whaaaat? THEY CANT HEAR ANYTHING?
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• It a fresh idea, I think. I never read something like this.
• I am kinda disappointed though. Everytime RM releases a new book; I get so excited, thinking maybe this new book has the new Adrian Ivashkov. You know? I’m always looking forward. Sadly, Li Wei is not. That I think is my fault. I expected too much and the standard I was looking for is very high.
• I find the way things were put together a bit weird.
The village of deaf people, that are actually slaves to the king but they don’t know that.
Then she suddenly can hear…
The pixie thingies…
The short war–if you can call it that.

Winter by Marissa MeyerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Well, you know, some people might say that doing the right thing is a reward in itself.”–Carswell Thorne
I WANT TO GIVE ALL THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE TO YOU!
I LOVE IT! I LOVE THIS BOOK! THE WHOLE SERIES!
AFTER 2 DAYS OF READING THIS THING I M NOT SATISFIED! I KINDA WANT MORE!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• There should be a real ending for the whole cast. The way you ended their stories… pfft!!! Too short! Maybe write 5 -10 years after from the ending. You know?
• I spent majority of my reading Winter aggravated. So aggravated to Levana. Ugh! I HATE HER SO MUCH! I DON’T CARE WHAT SHEW SAID ABOUT HER PAST BALAH BLAH BLAH… The bottomline is she purely evil. AND FUGLY!
I spent my time annoyed, because, really, the things happened are annoying. That is why they – the gang – deserve a long HFA. Let’s give them happiness.
• Gosh… Winter is probably my least favorite character… I mean, sorry to say this, but she does belong to an insane asylum. I get it, I know she’s like that because she doesn’t want to use her powers… but still. (I’m the insane one right? #KICKMENOW)
• The thing they did to Wolf… GRRR…
• #SPOILERS (HEALTHY SPOILERS) *grin*
o The freakin war was sooooo long.
o Levana & Kai got married.
o Levana is so damn FUGLY. That’s what you get when you are that evil.
• I’m impressed. The ‘Snow White’ vibe… ooooh! Superb!
• Thank you SO MUCH for writing this beautiful series Marissa Meyer.
I RECOMMEND THIS MUST-READ SERIES TO EVERYONE!
• And also… thank you for not killing favorite characters, like those other authors. *PHEW* I was so scared.

The Rose Society by Marie LuMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love The Rose Society more than The Young Elites.
To be honest, I kinda forgot everything that happened on the first book, they just came rushing to my head the moment I started reading this. SO WEIRD! AND PRETTY COOL!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• So Adelina was exiled by the Dagger Society because they blamed her for Enzo’s death. Which I did too… understandable.
Now, Adelina with her younger sister, Violet, are on a mission to find other Elites and form their own crew and help her to dethrone/defeat the newly crowned Queen Guiletta, who is Enzo’s sister and Teren’s lover. (I HATE HER. AND TEREN.)
• It’s weird… I just kept on thinking asking myself, ‘who is the REAL hero of this story?’
You have to admit all them are villains. They all did despicable things. Despicable that I would say, they are pretty much unforgivable. I think that’s what makes this series different from the others.
• The cliffhanger… which I think, really, is Raffaele’s.
The one about the bones… It’s a big question mark. What about the others?
And if what he thinks is true… THERY ARE DOOM. FUCKED.
• CHARACTERS (that mattered):
o Adelina –THE WHITE WOLF –Illusionist
There are some moments that she’s so kickass & tough, I want to cheer her.
Then those softer moments like when she sees the very much alive ____ and when she’s scared. I just feel it. Marie Lu did a great job creating this character.
o Violetta –STOPS OTHER ELITES’ POWERS
I’m not sure if she’s a Young Elite or something (I will talk about that later). I think she is because Magiciano can copy her.
o Magiciano –MIMIC
He’s so cool! Too bad he’s so hung up with Adelina. Which I think they are going to end up together. Because you know the other guy is dead. Technically. (In my heart, I think he’s not REALLY coming back.)
Adelina is a GRADE A bitch and it’s just I don’t understand his affection towards her.
o Raffaele –THE MESSENGER –he can heal and brings comfort to others
It’s hard to understand what he’s thinking or speculate his next move. His parts were cut off.
o Teren –GAHHH!!!! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!
AND THE FUCKER IS STILL ALIVE!
• Back to Violetta…
I just have this gut feeling of, I think she’s a different kind of Young Elite. MAYBE, there are kinds of Young Elites. Where Adelina is more of a villain… let’s just say she’s DARK, Violetta is LIGHT. I don’t think her powers can harm an ordinary people compare to others.

The Sword of Summer by Rick RiordanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
‘Then I died. The end’
That was, I think, the coolest first chapters ever.
And… that was damn loooong…
Also the reason I just read a Rick Riordan book after years.
Magnus: S-s-sorry. I must … um, wrong house.
Hunding: Wrong house? I don’t think so. You’re checking in.
Magnus: Uh … what?
Hunding: You’re dead, aren’t you? Follow me. I’ll show you to registration.
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• This is the book when I look at it, I am pretty sure I am not going to finish it in a day or two.
• I love the concept of Magnus dying (and stealing Bane’s name from TMI *grin*) and their mission to save the world/to delay Ragnarok. Their, Magnus and the gang, journey between worlds are EPIC. I had so much fun.
• Gosh! I never knew that Loki had so many offspring. And they are all evil? OHMYGOD!
Now I want to read more about Norse Mythology. I kinda want to know whats, maybe, most accurate on what I read and watched.
• The Hotel… *jaw dropped*
OhMyGosh! That was so cool! They kill each other!
• Now, the Thor thing… I mean you ruined it for me. According to this book he’s a red head. Uh-uh! No way, I want my Thor, Chris Hemsworth, a blond one. Erase erase.
• I think the main audience for this book is children. Especially those who really likes books.
Some of the things happened there/scenes seems so silly when you think of it. When while I’m reading the book, they’re awesome.
• The talking sword reminds me of a Japanese anime. I forgot the title.
• Haha! Whats wrong with me? I had to double check this review… Apparently I wrote Magnus’ name incorrectly. I wrote Mangus. *grin*

• I think I’m going to read the next one.

The House by Christina LaurenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
*MC’s Corner*
• Truthfully, the story started really rough for me.
I read the first few chapters a day then sometimes I skip reading it the next, preferred other books.
Thank God I did not give up.
While I was waiting in line to pay electric bills, I resumed reading it. Well, let’s just say I reached the PART. It’s like the lightbulb inside my head lit up. *ping*
My interest awaken, I just want to know the answers. And I started to make my own conclusions. I still did not get the ending right. I think that’s a good thing.
• The story is about this House that is alive and everything in and around it. SO CREEPY!
And Gavin, who lived there for the most of his life. The House is practically his parent. What if one day he wants to get away?

November 9 by Colleen HooverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“What if we meet up again next year on the same day? And the year after that? We’ll do it for five years. Same date, same time, same place. We’ll pick up where we left off tonight, but only for the day…”–
Of all the books Collen Hoover that I’ve read, November 9 is probably my least favorite.
It was so good, yes, one of the best this year. But it’s not that good compare to her other books.
*MC’s Corner*
• Everything went very fast, obviously duh. We only have a glimpse of what happens every November nine. The anticipation was fun, but I have no idea what happened the whole year, just that day, hence the title. And I don’t know what I am complaining but yeah, you can slap me. *girn*
• But really, what I’m saying is it lacks a bit of support. Most of the things were IN YOUR FACE TAKE THAT SCENE. You know? I want to be pissed off with him because… but I can’t because I don’t know the whole story.
• Then the big secret... I’m not a fan of that part.
• There’s a good part… Ben is a writer and the manuscript he gave to Fallon and then she reads it. I love that part, it’s a killer! *thumbs up*
• Another good thing, it was pretty memorable. And you can tell your friends about it without spoiling anything.

*MC’s Corner*
• WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED LAST SUMMER?! GRRRR… THE BOOK WAS SO LONG BUT IT WAS NEVER MENTIONED! *stink eyes*
• I just don’t get why these 6 people were ‘chosen’ to have these powers? And by the way, ‘powers’ sound BORING. There should be another name for it like Legacies for the Gardes (Pittacus Lore’s Lorien Legacies.) What makes them special, why these kids? I’m trying to find an algorithm here. Do they have the same birthdays? Or maybe their parents ate something. Or they’ve been on one place in a wrong time. The list goes forever.
• Ooops… Anonymous who?
• And… what is their goal? Why have these powers but they don’t have anything to fight for or something?
• I’m not sure if I’m going to read the next book. I’m slightly disappointed.

Assassin's Heart by Sarah AhiersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Celaena Sardothien (Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass) meets Robin Lafevers’ His Fair Assassin meets the MAFIA. And it’s also reminds me of Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha Trilogy sans the Grishas.
OHMYGOD! IT WAS SO GOOD!
I HAVE A FEELING WITH THIS ONE. I THINK, REALLY THINK, ITS GOING TO BE ON THE TOP OF BEST SELLING CHARTS. AND IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG HIT! I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE! IT’S A MUST READ.
ALL WRITTEN IN CAPS! I AM NOT KIDDING!
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• Yes it’s not the best that I’ve read from the HarperCollins Catalog for next year but it’s one of my fave. DUDE! I FINISHED IT ON ONE SITTING!
• I was just hooked from the very start. Great first chapters mean it’s going to be really good! And it is.
And dude, I’m grinning like a fool while writing this thing. (And listening to One Direction’s Made in A.M. Album)
• The concept was so good. And it was well-written. Given that the time there is IDK it’s still very realistic. I enjoyed reading Assassin’s Heart very much.
• I kinda like the ‘ghosts’ part, them roaming around the everywhere especially on the woods. Then at night… ugh! Gosh! And… when they take someone’s soul and steal the body… EPIC! AND FREAKISH.
The good thing about them too is that y the end of the story, it was explained why are they still with the living.
*thumbs up*
• The clipper thingy… as far as I know no one wrote something like that.
Clippers are assassins that are paid to kill someone. And the catch is, Clippers are only from the ‘Families’. And like in the Mafia (totally based on what I read/watch) they (Families) tried to kill each other every chance they got.
• I’m kinda sure that there’s no sequel. But please if you find a way to write one, please do. I mean it and I will totally read it! *grin*
• I honestly think those who will buy this book will definitely think that what they paid was worth it. #MONEYWELLSPENT
• Sarah Ahiers is without a doubt a author WE MUST watch out!
• #EVERYTHING
o COVER: That’s ‘the coin’ right?
o CHARACTERS: I kinda have a lil bit issue with the characters–you think with all those compliments I have no gripes about this book, hah!–when it comes to making pictures inside my head. I kinda hard to remember what the other characters looked like.
Well good thing, Lea is pretty memorable.
o STORY:
(If it’s a play) I love that it was how the ‘acts’ were divided. And every act has different things.
I think if you gave other readers a copy of the first part then when they read the whole thing… OH MY GOD! I just LOVE the way things happened in that. (Well, I also don’t because it’s kinda sad for Lea.)
Memorable scenes. The whole story? When I think of it, theres just a sequence of scenes palying inside my head. *thumbs up
o MARKET: I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL!
o READ IT AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY!
• GET YOU COPIES!

Bluescreen by Dan WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, if I compare it to Partials, which is btw one of my all time fave series. I have to say Bluescreen was a bit disappointing, only if I compare them.
But honestly, I liked it. It’s a good concept and the ‘think forward/ futuristic’ was waaay forward. It’s like the ‘future’ we think/on movies on steroids.
James Dashner’s Eye of Minds meets Alex London’s Proxy. And the dauntless simulation part of Veronica Roth’s Divergent
*MC’s Corner*
Note: Spoilers.
• The Cover is so cool!
At first I really thought that this is one of those cyborg books. The thing is, it is a cyborg book, kinda, but the mood or the way it was written (since it was the future-on-steroids) it felt natural. Just the way they are, the people in the story lived with cyborgs all their lives. I mean they don’t discriminate or make them feel like outcasts. And to be clear the story is not about the cyborgs. It’s just the protagonist.
• Bluescreen –it is some sort of drug but doesn’t really contain any drugs. It is some kind of software that people illegally buy then they inject them into their ‘djinnis,’(which is btw the ‘everything’ for the most people there it’s their phone, computer, credit card, key to their houses and etc.) then they feel ‘an overwhelming sensory rush, an unbelievable high, and then boom.’ That was what Anja said. Little do they know, there is actually a side effect on using these things.
• I just wrote this review like a month after I finished reading Bluescreen. It’s almost like fresh in my head. I read every day and if the book is next to boring I probably would forget it. So this being ‘fresh in my head’ I think, deserves some plus points.
• It’s my gut feel that tells me that most people would probably quit or will not finish reading Bluescreen. It’s kinda long. I mean especially those who are not that massive fan of YA books. I am a fan of Dan Wells and I belive its going to end up good so… I continued reading and finished this thing. Turns out it was really good. And it would be a mistake if you opened this thing and not finish it. BIG MISTAKE.
• My arms are tired right now… *wiggle* *wiggle* *wiggle*
• Memorable scenes… there’s a lot of them. Though I think… well I’m pretty sure my fave one is when they play. It was so cool.
• It was very detailed. It makes it more believable and makes it feel that you are actually in there.
I also liked the ‘control’ between the fantasy and the reality part. There are ‘fantasy’ problems and of course the reality.
• #IWISH there’s some illustrations. I think that would be so kickass! And it will help the reader not to make ‘some assumptions of imagination’ inside their heads.
AND if there is I’m going to give this thing a 10star rating on goodreads. (LOL. )
• The market… I don’t think kids will enjoy it that much, because it’s too long. Teenagers and up is appropriate.
And the SCI/FI would love it too.
