Dangerous Deception - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (Dangerous Creatures #2)

Published Date: May 19, 2015

Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Synopsis: 

From the world of Beautiful Creatures--a dangerous new tale of love and magic continues in the sequel to Dangerous Creatures.

Love is ten kinds a crazy, right?
Let me put it to you this way: If you can get away, run. Don't walk.
Because once you're exposed, you'll never get a Siren outta your head.

Some loves are cursed. Others are...dangerous. Especially the love between wannabe rocker and quarter Incubus, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, and Dark Caster, Siren, and bonafide bad girl, Ridley Duchannes.

But now Ridley is missing, and Link was with her-right up until she vanished. Determined to find her, Link reunites with his New York bandmates and the mysterious Lennox Gates, who wants Rid for himself. Together they travel to the deep south, find the crossroads where blues guitarist Robert Johnson made his deal with the devil, discover a menagerie of Casters locked in cages, and uncover an evil in New Orleans that threatens to destroy them all.

This time, love might not be enough.
"There are three types of girls in the world. Good girls, bad girls, and Ridley Duchannes. Ridley is in a category all on her own."

Dangerous Deception had me on my toes throughout the time I have read it. Trust me, I had it with me while I was waiting in my car, reading in bed, even dog-sitting. I absolutely loved this book and I really do believe that anyone who is interested in fanatical creatures, this book is for you. It is not the typical vampire/werewolf novel like Twilight but it definite has its cheesy moments.

Throughout the book, I was washed over with emotions from happiness to sadness to anger. Why? You'll just have to read the book series in order to figure it out. Without knowing that Dangerous Creatures was a spin-off from Beautiful Creatures, I was kind of thrown into the characters and the plot line. Although, I cannot commit to saying that you need to read Beautiful Creatures before Dangerous Creatures but it would be a good way to brush up on the characters which is what I will be doing as I finish up the City of Bones series, Red Queen, and Scarlett Undercover.

I rate this book a solid 4.5 stars out of 5. Do read this by checking it out at your local library or just buying it. Do keep in mind that not only Red Queen is an option for a movie deal and the title for the second book has been released: Glass Sword.

Thanks for reading awesome book nerds. 

Jurassic World (Movie Review)

Chris Pratt is just gorgeous and pretty badass especially when it comes to dinosaurs. Click on his name and watch a prank video from SA Wardega who also were in the makings of the Spider-Dog. So watch as they prank Pratt.

Even if he was supposed to be a minor character in the movie, he definitely was why most girls and some guys came to see the movie. 

That's not why I went though. I grew up with the Jurassic Park movies and this was just an awesome part to it.

Jurassic World was a solid movie with a slightly boring beginning but it did tie everything together in a way. 

My favorite part to the ending was the fight and of course the happy-ending romance. Who doesn't love a happy ending romance?

"So what should we do now?"

"Stick together... You know... For survival."

Without giving out any spoilers other than that line, I would rate this movie a solid 4.7 stars out of 5. It is only a .3 deduction because of the long introduction but props for making me laugh even during the most serious parts. 

Watch this movie and it will be the best $10.00 that you have ever spent. You will not need to watch the previous Jurassic Park movies but it would be good to do so that way you have some sort of knowledge on what is going on with the movie.

I also hope to be reviewing Dangerous Deception by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl in the next few days as well as Red Queen by Victoria  Aveyard.

Thanks for reading awesome nerds. Keep on doing that.

Specials - Scott Westerfeld

Published Date: June 20, 2008

Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Synopsis: 

"Special Circumstances": The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor -- frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary.

And now, in the third book in the series, Tally's been turned into a Special: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. 

The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. Most of the time. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. 

Still, it's easy to tune that out -- until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. Either way, Tally's world will never be the same.

One of the all time best-selling series that I have read. 

Scott Westerfeld knows how to capture his reader's eyes. From Uglies all the way to Specials [so far], Tally Youngblood has captured the hearts of those she has met. Even from being a Pretty to becoming a Special, she has enraptured those she comes upon with her bubbly and iciness. 

Do I recommend reading this book? Absolutely because you will fall in love with the series and not be able to stop reading them.

I rate this book a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars because I do not believe everyone will love this book series because not a lot of people like fiction and fantasy. But I love, loved, loved, this book. 

Next books to be read are Dangerous Deception (Dangerous Creatures #2) by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.

Dangerous Creatures - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (Dangerous Creatures #1)

Hi everyone! I'm back from my camping trip and I come bearing a review and a potential reviews.

Dangerous Creatures, a beautifully written book that shares two perspectives between two people: Ridley Duchannes and Wesley (Linc) Lincoln. I just want to start this review off with how true their relationship is because it shows how parents, mainly the mother usually doesn't think any girl is good enough for their only son and it shows throughout the story. Wesley is swoon-worthy but Ridley can treat him a little on the bad side.

Published Date: May 20, 2014

Spin-off from Beautiful Creatures (book series and movie)

Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Synopsis: A new series returns to the world of Beautiful Creatures. Some loves are cursed...others are dangerous.

Ridley Duchannes will be the first to tell you that she's a bad girl. She's Dark. She's a Siren. You can never trust her, or even yourself when she's around. Lucky for her, Wesley "Link" Lincoln can never seem to remember that; quarter Incubus or not, his heart is Mortal when it comes to Ridley. When Link heads to New York City to start a music career, Ridley goes along for the ride-and she has her own reasons. As if leaving small-town Gatlin for the big city, trying to form a band, and surviving life with a partially reformed Siren isn't hard enough already, Link soon learns he has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay.

Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of Beautiful Creatures, are back and casting another magical spell. Their signature mixture of mystery, suspense, and romance, along with a dash of fun and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.

Even if Wesley was turned into a quarter Incubus and it comes with all of the negative side-effects including not having to eat, not being able to sleep, however when it comes to his on and off girlfriend, Ridley, he is completely vulnerable and Mortal.

But later on within a novel, a surprise and heartbreaking moment comes into play. Wanna guess it? I would rate this book a 4.3 out of 5 stars. Read this book and you will not regret it. The potential reviews coming up will be Specials - Scott Westerfeld and Dangerous Deception by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
