Uglies - Scott Westerfeld (Uglies #1)

Synopsis: Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that? 

Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her license - for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.

But Tally's new friend Shay isn't sure she wants to be pretty. She'd rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. 

The choice Tally makes changes her world forever... 

Scott Westefeld has been one of my absolute favorite authors since I was in middle school. When I found The Uglies series, I was absolutely enthralled to read the series again. There are some innuendos that I didn't understand when I was younger but now it just makes me chuckle along the way. Although, when i was little, I knew little about the romance between Tally and another character that you'll meet along the way. Little hint: the Rebel leader. 

Now in this novel, it is all futuristic and a thriller with the cruel-looking Pretties.

People are separated into two groups: the Pretties and the Uglies. Naturally, everyone wants to be a pretty but Shay, Tally's new friend, tells her about a rebel group known as the Smokies. They are illusive and can only find them if you know a friend that went there.

But when Shay runs off without her but only leaves her a note, Tally is contacted by Special Circumstances to bring Shay back. To bring them all back. Will Tally break her promise to Shay and tell them all about the Smokies or will she join the rebel group.

Would I recommend reading this book for any age? Yes, absolutely, si, always. Scott Westerfeld is pretty great and this book definitely deserves the title of The New York Bestselling Series. I am also in love with the new cover art that was selected for these series. 

Captive - Aimeé Carter (The Blackcoat Rebellion #2)

Published Date: November 25, 2014

Genre: Teen Dystopian

Synopsis: For the past two months, Kitty Doe's life has been a lie. Forced to impersonate the Prime Minister's niece, her frustration grows as her trust in her fake fiancé cracks, her real boyfriend is forbidden and the Blackcoats keep her in the dark more than ever.

But in the midst of discovering that her role in the Hart family may not be as coincidental as she thought, she's accused of treason and is forced to face her greatest fear: Elsewhere. A prison where no one can escape.

As one shocking revelation leads to the next, Kitty learns the hard way that she can trust no one, not even the people she thought were on her side. With her back against the wall, Kitty wants to believe she'll do whatever it takes to support the rebellion she believes in—but is she prepared to pay the ultimate price?

Let's say we are playing a game of checkers. If you were able to capture the queen, would you sacrifice a pawn? In all games, you get rid of the weakling of the game and that is exactly what Knox, Lila's fiancée or ex-fiancée does to Kitty to keep her away from the love of her life. 

But she can't tell anyone that the boy that they pulled her away from was the love of her life or else they would use him against her. Also she was Masked after all into Lila's perfect face and body. Knox keeps losing her temper with Kitty and keeps calling her a pawn. Why would anyone want to put up with that? Well she doesn't and she pretty flips tables to get to Benji, to pull him away from the life that she dragged him into. But by the time they packed their bags and were about to leave, they get caught. Fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck. 

You have to read the rest to understand what happens next but I would most definitely recommend Captive - Aimeé Carter to get an inside look through Kitty's eyes of Elsewhere. We got a glimpse of it in the first novel but that was just a heartbreaking part. 

Will Benji and Kitty be together again, away and at their lake? Or will death do them apart. 

I rate this a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.

Release Date: Fall with Me - Jennifer L. Armentrout (With You #4)

One of the greatest days of the year is finally here.

Fall With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout is finally out. It came to my kindle at 11:53pm. So it came a little earlier. 

Published Date: March 31, 2015

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Synopsis: Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

I am in love with this story so far. I just started the book and Roxy and Reece's relationship already makes me laugh to the point where I look like a crazy person on the train.

I also just finished Trust in Me, a novella by Jennifer L Armentrout which presents the point of view of Cam. It shows Cam and Avery's relationship into a deeper meaning. How truly romantic are these books because it makes so jealous of these characters.

Published Date: October 22, 2013

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Synopsis: From the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of WAIT FOR YOU, this is the story of Cam and Avery’s sizzling romance as you’ve never seen it before, told exclusively from Cam’s perspective…

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up – he can’t get this feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. What will it take to help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery’s life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

Also just another update:

Twist - Karen Akins is finally coming out in SIX more days! So excited to read more about Bree Bennis. 

Fall With Me

by

Jennifer L. Armentrout

I know that I have been neglecting my blog but with good reason. I didn't want to give this review because it makes things so final. This book has been an amazing companion throughout the three days. Reece Anders knows how to make your hormones go a little crazy. Roxy, a bartender that has been working full time, goes to school for her best friend Charlie, and is an artist. 

If only every life was something like these series of books, things would be good. I could get used to the life of hot guys roaming around college campus because my college definitely doesn't have that. I wish it did but we weren't all blessed. 

Now this book is definitely a thriller, well I guess suspenseful is the best way to explain this because there is something so unpredictable in this that it will make you want to bang your head against the wall a good few times. However, I guess since all of these books have had something where it could happen to anyone around you, it should have been predictable. 

Anyways, I do recommend reading this book because it is a romance novel with a hint of thrilling and yet suspenseful story plot. 

Also, because this is my last time, most likely, writing about this because most of my blog is filled with it. I just got my book in the mail and my goodness! It was one of the most beautiful present that I got. Even if I got it for myself and it was an early birthday present and Jennifer L. Armentrout herself autographed it so THANK YOU!

Next book, on my to-review list is either Twist - Karen Akins or Obsidian - Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Thanks for reading this post and don't forget to follow me which you can do by clicking that follow button on the side bar on the right column! Have a good night!

I rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Twist - Karen Akins (Loop #2)

Release Date Changed!

So till recently, it was supposed to be released on March 31, 2015... Which had me really psyched for the end of the month but now... I don't know what I feel... Anger? Upset? But I guess they haven't cancelled the book all in total so it's no big deal.

The new release date is April 7, 2015 so mark it on your calendars!

This is an amazing series so far if you like the futuristic stuff for you. Lots of YA and very sci-fi!

Bree Bennis has it all!

Release Date: April 7, 2015

Genre: Teen Dystopian/Young Adult

Synopsis: 

The unbelievably thrilling sequel to the time-travel YA novel Loop.

Bree Bennis finally has it all—a non-comatose mother, an uber-hot (albeit anachronistic) boyfriend named Finn, and a newfound mission to protect the timeline from those who would skew it for their own gain. But when she leans over one day to smooch said boyfriend, her lips meet those of her arch-nemesis Wyck instead. The timeline has been altered, and Bree is caught in the crosshairs. But when she goes back to repair the damage, she is stopped by none other than her Future Self, who delivers an urgent message: Someone is kidnapping Shifters from the distant past. It’s up to Bree to stop them. But first, she has to figure out who…and why.

To follow the trail of chronocrumbs, Bree reluctantly accepts her new undercover gig as Wyck’s girlfriend. Everything goes spiffy until Finn shows up in the 23rd century on the eager arm of a gorgeous fellow Shifter. Blark. Even as Bree struggles with jealousy, she battles the nagging dread that Finn might be better off with someone less chronologically complicated. Her worst fear is confirmed when Finn becomes the kidnapper’s next victim. As Bree zeroes in on the culprit, they unravel her life one timeline-change at a time. She realizes that she alone has the power to save herself and everyone she loves. But to do that, she may lose Finn forever.

WHAT?! THE!? BLARK!? JUST?! HAPPENED?!

It's a race against time to save the ones that you love. Will Bree Bennis make it or will she fail and live as an Unchipped Shifter who is the only one who can tell when a NeoShifter has made a change to the past.

I loved this book but I am sad to say goodbye to a great series. Bree Bennis and Finn are the ultimate power couple. Honest.

I rate this book a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Questions to be answered:
Did Future Bree change the timeline on purpose?
Who is this gorgeous shifter on the arm of her Finnigan?
Will this gorgeous shifter turn out to be the kidnapper?
What will come of next of Finnree?! (Yes my book couple name for them is uber cheesy)
Will Bree and Wyck end up together in the future?

Pawn - Aimée Carter (The Blackcoat Rebellion #1)

Look at this cover art!

Published Date: November 26, 2013

Genre: Teen Dystopian

Synopsis: 

YOU CAN BE A VII. IF YOU GIVE UP EVERYTHING.  

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country. 

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter. 

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed …and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

Are you going to let a number define you?

I found Aimee Carter in the library by my home. 

Not literally but she was a new author coming-out and so they showcased her book, The Goddess Test. It took forever for the books to come out [Not really but it did feel like it when it didn't come out within the year]. 

So since I was waiting for the rest of the series to come out, I looked up her name at http://www.goodreads.com , I found another series by her, known as The Blackcoat Rebellion. It does sound weird but it was strangely a good book. 

But horrible little me forgot about the series and got sucked into the other books that were coming out. 

The first book was known as Pawn. I believe that there was another name for it but it changed to the final one, 'Pawn' but I can't say for sure. 

I rate this book a good 3 out of 5 stars.
