Twisted By Gena Showalter



Anyone who's read my posts KNOWS I love Gena's work, but this left me really disappointed.
It's one of those books where a lot happens, and then- poof! No, there is no happy ending, yes you just spent 4 hours of your life to find out that everything goes to crap. Hopefully there's another book and it comes out quick, but damn, this one really broke my heart. The story, all in all, is very action packed, with a few steamy hot moments and some funny banter, but the amount of depressing material, in my opinion, is overwhelming. Aden, Riley, Mary Ann, they all lose something that made their lives seem... Almost bearable. And to be honest, this book just left me very, very sad. 
Rating: 6.5/10
Sixteen-year-old Aden Stone has had a hell of a week. He's been:
Tortured by angry witches. Hypnotized by a vengeful fairy. Spied on by the most powerful vampire in existence. And, oh, yeah, killed —twice.
His vampire girlfriend might have brought him back to life, but he's never felt more out of control. There's a darkness within him, something taking over…changing him. Worse, because he was meant to die, death now stalks him at every turn. Any day could be his last.
Once upon a time, the three souls trapped inside his head could have helped him. He could have protected himself. But as the darkness grows stronger, the souls grow weaker—just like his girlfriend. The more vampire Aden becomes, the more human Victoria becomes, until everything they know and love is threatened.
Life couldn't get any worse. Could it?

Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien


This book is basically a futuristic mystery read,
and I loved it. Full of twists and turns and a
strong main character, people who loved
the Uglies series by Scott Westerfield will
love this. An unexpected, slightly disappointing, 
end leaving me wondering if there will
be a sequel. 
 Rating: 7/10
 In the future, in a world destroyed by the harsh sun, there are those who live in the luxury inside the walled Enclave and those, like sixteen-year-old Gaia Stone, who live outside - struggling to survive.  Each month the people outside the wall must deliver a quota of babies to the Enclave, to be raised by parents within and brainwashed to forget about the world outside.


This is the way it's always been, and the way Gaia thinks it should be.......until her parents are arrested on suspicion of hiding a code; a code revealing the secrets of the "advanced" babies.  realising she is her parents' only hope for survival, Gaia ventures inside the wall to resuce them.  but she soon discovers that the Enclave is not as perfect as it appears; the gene pool has become too small and genetic irregularities are developing - something the brutal government wants to stop.  At any cost.  Can Gaia break the code and discover the truth, before it's too late?

7/10

Illusions By Aprilynne Pike

I'm not putting up the pages still it gets released...Sorry!
Well, this book was absolutely fan-freaking-tastic! 
I loved every minute of it. Ooh, this book was so good!

"I don't do patrols, I don't go hunting, I just stick close to you. You live your life. I'll keep you safe," Tamani said, sweeping a lock of hair from her face. "Or die trying."
Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.
But just as life returns to normal, Laurel realizes that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.
100/10 :P
A must read!

Siren by Tricia Rayburn

344 pages
Really, really good.
I hope they do a sequel, because
I felt there was some things left undone.
When Vanessa's sister dies, all she wants
is some space. But when people start
mysteriously washing up dead, she and
her friend Simon get on the case.
But the thing that scares the most isn't
the increasing amount of bodies, it's the
fact that every body is grinning in death.
What's going on in Winter Harbour?
8.5/10
