CRESS By Marissa Meyer

THE FEELS ARE REAL.

The amount of different ships that I have formed in just this book is not even real. I cant deal with this. And I have to wait until 2015 to read WINTER?! I honestly don't know if I will be able to survive.

The pacing of this book was mesmerizing and thrilling at the same time. From page one we are bombarded with action packed pages that just make you fly throughout the book, but even though it is quite fast paced the vital information you need is easy to understand and not at all confusing. There are some twists and turns throughout the novel, but nothing major that will leave you either sobbing on the floor or giving up on the series, but if you are thinking of picking this up (which I want you too) I BEG you to wait until 2015. The pain and angst you will save yourself is worth it.

Now lets move on to the important part of the book...CHARACTERS!

Can I just start ranting about Kai and Cinder? yes? okay. I adored their reunion. From the beginning of the book, and even back in scarlet you could see that Kai started realizing that he did in fact have Feelings for Cinder and once he slowly does this I feel thy start escalating even more even though he still is weary of her Lunar powers, but when they finally meet again it is obvious that they are both head over heels for each other. *cough* the kiss was proves their love *cough*
My newest addition to my OTP list is Cress and Thorne. (like you didn't see that coming) The way Marissa made cress fangirl over Throne and create unrealistic ideal about him made her soooo relatable (Cress and I are one) and all of her ideals ended up helping Thorne become the imperfect hero she always knew he was. I really need Thorne to declare his love for Cress because it is blatantly obvious and its hurting my heart.

I will leave you will all of my confused feelings with the hopes that you will read this book. It is worth it.

CHAMPION By Marie Lu

THIS BOOK. No.

The post book depression is real. I cant deal with this.

I don't even think I need to write a review for this. The character interactions where perfect. The pacing was well done; though quite slow at the beginning but it suddenly picks up and suddenly you are at the end of the book. (whoops)

The character development between Day and June is so breathtakingly beautiful and so well paced and realistic it hurts. They both have feelings for each other even though they have both hurt each other in the past, and even though they don't know if they will ever be able to competently forgive one another they still try and make it work. It is so heartbreaking and encouraging at the same time I have no idea how to feel.

The shocking ending almost left me in TEARS. I couldn't handle it at first but at the very VERY end it redeemed itself, and I was somewhat okay with it. Even though it is still tragic. I don't mean I couldn't deal with it because it was bad, I mean I couldn't DEAL because all of my feels and ships where torn out from under me and almost destroyed, and I feared this would be another Allegiant, but thankfully it was not.

I just cant believe its over.

GUITAR NOTES BY

A sweet, slightly sad (bot not tear tsunami sad) tale about how friendship between the two most unlikely people blossoms thanks to music and rhythm.

The story is very well paced, funny where it needed to be, sad where it needed to be, irritating where it needed to be (if there is such a thing), and an overall light read which will leave you smiling and awing.
One thing I did miss from the book was suspense. I new it was a new approach having the two "note givers" know who they where since the beginning, but I really think that if they hadn't known who they where the story would have been even more exiting, and more of a hit.
My favorite aspect of the book was the  friendship. No romance, no kissing, no cheesy lines, no insta love, just good old fashioned friendship.

I really related to Lyla because on the outside she resembled the perfect poster teen for perfection and achievement, and not to mention protege cello player, but on the inside its a whole different story. She feels pressure by her friends and family to do thing her heart has no desire for, her teachers expect the universe from her, and she doesn't really know who she is or what she wants because her entire life has been lived pretending.

I could also relate to Tripp in the sense that he was  extremely passionate about his music, his guitar, and more importantly his loved ones. I realize that his loved ones might be hard to believe by the way that he sometimes refers to his mom (but who doesn't do that every once in a while?) but I am referring to the way he cares about his friend Lyla. You can clearly see that when the plot twist hits ( no spoilers) Tripp does everything he possibly can to help Lyla even though her friends and especially her dad tries to stop him.

Guitar notes is an adorable book that will leave you wishing you played the guitar and wondering about what makes you happy.

ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS By Stephanie Perkins

I thought this would be just another love story, and even though that is technically what this is it was so much more too.

For a long time I could not wrap my head around why people seemed to really love this novel because from the cover up to the title it just seemed like a totally cliche story, but after weeks of debating whether to reading it or not, I decided to jump right in and see what all the excitement was about.

Anna and the french kiss was a lighthearted, fun loving novel that was well paced, filled with adorable sexual tension (if there is such a thing), had the ability to make you burst out laughing, and leaving you feeling all giddy and bubbly inside wishing that your life was remotely like Anna's....which will probably never happen.

My favorite character in the novel was Anna because I found her to be very relatable which made me enjoy her "cliche" story even more. Anna is a quirky, shy, brunette, homebody, movie loving teenage girl that actually lives through believable situations, except the whole being sent to Paris for boarding school thing, but apart from that she always reacts like I would (most of the time). Another thing I really enjoyed about Anna was her FRIENDSHIP with St.Claire. (not that I didn't enjoy the love part of it but let me explain). Anna, while being attracted to St.Claire (who would not be) understood that he was in a relationship and did not act upon her feelings. She did flirt a bit, but it never went farther than that and that put the whole situation in a more believable scenario.

St.Claire was the British/american french speaking boy that every girl needs in her life. I am still waiting.

If you have not read this yet I don't know why you are still reading this...GO!

GET IT HERE:ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS

WINGER By Andrew Smith

Winger is a wonderfully written  coming of age novel about a teenage boy trying to find himself in the midst of a puberty surrounded by older boys and girls who constantly made fun of him.
Winger is both perversely hilarious and heartbreaking on so many levels you will crash like the Titanic. The story starts out with a fun and comedic mood as you get introduced to the characters and start getting acquainted with the story. The characters start developing as the story continues even though when you think they have all finally mature a little Winger and Joey start giving rides to strange screaming men in the middle of the night.

My heart goes out for Joey. I will say no more.

I also really enjoyed Annie and Wingers relationship because it was so genuine in the way that it developed. It was both awkward, adorable (at times), and a little perverted at times (which was to be expected from the mind of a teenage boy).

Winger made me laugh, question what goes on in boys heads (which I already sorta knew, but it still shocks you), cry to the point where I can no longer produce any tears. Winger is a book that make so you grow into a better person in a way. It makes you be more open minded and understanding about some things.
If you haven't given this book a chance pick it up now.

I feel like this review is too short, but I am still in post book shock, but i hope that my awkward short review will encourage you to pick it up.

THE IRON DAUGHTER By Julie Kagawa

I have mixed feelings about this book and I don't know where to start.

okay.

I really did like the plot for this book because it continues tight off of where the first book ended, plus it always has some twist and turns that will just spike your interest in the book, and will make you want to sit down and read as fast as you can so you can finish the book. I also really liked  how we got so see deepen into all of the characters different personalities which made me understand more why they do certain things, or why something ended like it did.

One thing that REALLY bugged me was Meghan ans Ash's relationship. or whatever the hell they have going on. I don't even know anymore. I just found it supper annoying and cliche that even though Ash basically ignored, tried to murder, insulted, degraded, and basically abused Meghan she still came back crying to him every single time! If she would ave had any self respect she would just have either slapped him (once or twice) or just ignored him and moved on, but instead of doing this she just convinces herself that she is the one with the problem and just crawls back to him using the excuse that "she cant leave without him" even though he didn't ONCE make any attempt to ask for forgiveness. I am sooo over relationships like this.
It also infuriated me how she treated Puck. Meghan led him on so many times I lost count. She would switch from crying about ash to fantasizing about Puck in point five seconds, and the worst part is that the poor guy is soo in love with her that he forgave and believed her every time!
I just really want her to choose once and for all which guy she wants to be with because all of this switching is making me dizzy.

Overall I really did enjoy the book. I think Meghan really needs to prove herself in the next book as a strong female lead, but at this point I don't know what to expect.

TEARDROP By Lauren Kate

Meh.

From the overly photo shopped cover this book, the cheesy characters, the predictable love triangle, and the confusing premise this book is a collection of random and incoherent thought that where easy to read fast, but hard to understand.

Something I didn't understand was the whole thing with Eureka not being able to cry. What? was I the only one to find this a little weird?? I didn't really get what happened if she did cry either. I thing it had something to do with her drowning the entire world, butt I don't see how that would be possible because she would have to cry for an awfully long time. I also didn't understand how this curse was set onto her. We didn't really get that much of an ending to the book of love, so we didn't learn about what happened to the woman whose heart was broken, bur maybe (hopefully) that will be explained in book two?

the characters where so predicable it became annoying. I can read about cliches and everything and even end up liking some, but these characters where cookie cutters. Brooks was the "childhood best friend" who had always had been in love with the main character, but she somehow was oblivious to the whole thing even though you could clearly tell since the first moment he was introduced. Eureka was the female lead who had something terrible happen to her and was having a mental/emotional breakdown which made her fell misunderstood and like the world owed her something, but magically (as always) the mysterious knight in shinning armor comes and rescues her (more like crashes into her), tells her about her secret powers while revealing that he is supposed to be her enemy while he declared his undying love for her. I'm not even go into the other characters because I fell these few examples give you an idea about the rest of them.

I just really need to find a good book to read.
Peace out.
