The Forbidden Game: The Chase; The Kill - L.J. Smith

Sorry for the late post, readers but I just wanted to kick things off with my summer with unfortunately included work but I will finish tonight with this post because my fingers were just aching to type this to you guys. Here are the synopses for the last two books of the series.

Synopsis for The Chase: Jenny begins to get terrifying phone calls and soon it’s clear that Julian is loose is the real world.  More and more, Jenny falls under his spell, allowing herself the freedom to do as she likes, no matter the consequences.  It seems that Jenny has chosen Julian over Tom.  But then her friends are disappearing, sucked into the Shadow Lands, paper dolls left in their places.  Can Jenny outwit Julian without giving in to his demands entirely?

Synopsis for The Kill: Jenny returns to the place where it all began; her grandfather’s house, where as a child she first met the child-Julian.  A door with a strange rune on it opens to the most fantastic creation of Julian’s of all: an empty amusement park that Jenny loved as a child.  Except here, all the rides are deadly.  More, Jenny must survive her confrontations with an increasingly frustrated and determined Julian.  Will he really kill her if he can’t have her?  Jenny forces him to make the choice—and two worlds are changed forever.

Hey everyone! Totally ate up this book series this week. This book was just full of yumminess. Jenny is a complete badass but I hate her character just because she cannot choose between Julian and Tom, her childhood boyfriend. 

Sure, they are both hot, but measure up the qualities and then choose a guy, although macking on both of them is not such a bad things if you weren't dating one and kissing another!

Anyways, away from my rant, this book definitely had me eating out of its pages because of it's storyline. I am actually glad this author decided to combine all three novels to be purchased together for a minimum price because it was good reading one book after the other without having to put my Kindle down.

Although, I am sure that I am not going to be reading anymore of her books, she is an absolutely amazing writer. I think they could make a fantastic and super trippy movie about this.

I rate these two books with a fantabulous 5 out of 5 stars. 

Please read these three books and I am sure you will be eating out of their palms as well.

I also wanted to shout out to Jennifer L. Armentrout for showing me these series, or Buzzfeed is more like it about epic and/or steamy romantic books.

XOXO my little epic readers. See you on Wednesday or on a closer date depending how fast I read up another book. 

Inescapable - Nancy Mehl

Published Date:
Genre:

Synopsis: Lizzie Engel is used to running away. At eighteen, she left her Mennonite hometown, her family, and her faith with plans never to return. Five years later, Lizzie finds she'll have to run again. False accusations at her job, a stalker, and a string of anonymous threatening letters have left her with no other options. This time, however, her escape is back to Kingdom, her hometown. 

As Lizzie becomes reacquainted with Kingdom, she realizes she may not have left her Mennonite roots and her faith as firmly in the past as she thought. She draws on the support of Noah Housler, an old friend, as she hides out and attempts to plan her next steps. 

When it becomes painfully clear that the danger has followed Lizzie to Kingdom, suspicions and tensions run high, and she no longer knows who to trust. With her life and the lives of those she loves at risk, Lizzie will have to run one last time--to a Father whose love is inescapable.

So I started to read this book with a closed off mind. The back seemed unappealing to me other than the fact that Lizzie Engel was used to running away.

What was she running away from? Who knows but all we do know is that she is running away again. There is a character in the book that she sees often but no one ever seems so it made me think that it is all in her head. 

This book is also very Puritan/Christian like. What I mean by that is that these are the olden time Christians where if you didn't go to church and didn't stick with the old times, you were automatically shunned. So when Charity, her daughter, gets introduced to the audience, you are already know, teenage pregnancy at such a young age... Blah, blah, blah... And so on. 

I did like the book in a way but I would have to rate this book a 3.5/5 stars for what it counts because Lizzie Engel's character did not develop all the way. I thought there was much potential that was lost.

The Age of Adaline (Movie Review)

Sorry for my lack of posting on my blog. It turns out, my professors are all conspirators and want to schedule their exams on the same date. So there's the fun in that. Well to make up for it, I want to post something every Wednesday and Friday, if at all possible. So here is my Wednesday post.

Release Date: April 24, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synospsis: 

Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) has miraculously remained a youthful 29 years of age for nearly eight decades, never allowing herself to get close to anyone lest they discover her secret. However, a chance encounter with a charismatic philanthropist named Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman) reawakens Adaline's long-suppressed passion for life and romance. When a weekend with Ellis' parents threatens to expose the truth, Adaline makes a decision that changes her life forever.

Words can only explain so much how perfect Blake Lively is. How is it possible that some people are more genetically blessed than others. I mean look... She's had her baby but she has a body like she has never had a child. What is her workout routine?!

Anyways, Blake Lively is the perfect woman for the role of Adaline. She hasn't aged a day since her days in Gossip Girl as SVDW or Serena Van Der Woodsen. Get the irony?

So I just want to summarize it. If you do not like romance movies where the whole theme is, "Love is Timeless", don't watch it because this is an absolutely romance/chick-flick movie. So if your significant other pissed you off and they hate this genre and you want to get back at them, take them to go see this.

I want to formally invite my readers to spread my blog around and continue to read my posts as well as finding me on Wanelo, a place where original or fan fiction stories can be posted for free.

Blake Lively is just an amazing actress and I give this movie a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars if my opinion matters at all.

Blog you later, awesome nerds.

Shattered Souls - Mary Lindsey (Souls #1)

Published Date: December 6, 2012

Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy

Synopsis:A thrilling debut story of death, love, destiny, and danger

Lenzi hears voices and has visions - gravestones, floods, a boy with steel gray eyes. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't help, and everything keeps getting louder and more intense. Then Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, who reveals that she's a reincarnated Speaker - someone who can talk to and help lost souls - and that he has been her Protector for centuries.

Now Lenzi must choose between her life with Zak and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. But time is running out: a malevolent spirit is out to destroy Lenzi, and he will kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon.

Lenzi is a normal girl or so she thought. She is dating a hot college guy who is a musician just like her and her father. Someone that she could relate too. But then Alden, the sexy guy who claims that he was born to be her Protector because she is a Speaker. Someone who talks to the dead. Or the dead talks to her. He also claims that they have known each other in past lives. Say what? 

Hot but a little crazy Alden drives Lenzi crazy. Her boyfriend as well who starts to show his jealous side as Alden enters her life and steals the affection of Lenzi from him.

As a single reviewer, I absolutely loved this thrilling book. There is a forbidden romance, almost re-telling the story of Romeo and Juliet with the exception of their lives of course. However, I think that Lindsey rushed through the plot and did not allow it to develop. It didn't make the book worse or anything but if it was broken up into other series, I would have loved it even more. If anyone is looking a for a action-seeking novel with a hint of thrilling and yet forbidden romance, this is the book for you. It is definitely redirected towards the Young Adult audience because it has no scenes in it where it makes the readers hormones go all jumpy but it definitely has its AWWW moments, if you get what I mean.

I was going to write a review about Twist - Karen Akins, which came out today for those who did not know already from my earlier posts but unfortunately, I will have to wait to write that until I am able to buy it. 

Anyways, I am reading the second book as of now and I will be posting a review in a couple days. 

Thanks for reading this post and don't forget to push that follow button on the right hand side of my blog.

I rate this book a good 4 out of 5 stars.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.
