Week 1 Review: Their Fractured Light

From Goodreads:
A year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet, and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn's a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. Nobody knows the truth. A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from a terrible shipwreck—now, they live a public life in front of the cameras, and a secret life away from the world's gaze.

Now, in the center of the universe on the planet of Corinth, all four are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight against LaRoux Industries to a head. Gideon Marchant is an eighteen-year-old computer hacker—a whiz kid and an urban warrior. He’ll climb, abseil and worm his way past the best security measures to pull off onsite hacks that others don’t dare touch.

Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you're done noticing it, she's got you offering up your wallet, your car, and anything else she desires. She holds LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious death of her father and is out for revenge at any cost.

When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia's separate attempts to infiltrate their headquarters, they're forced to work together to escape. Each of them has their own reason for wanting to take down LaRoux Industries, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they have to expose the secrets LRI is so desperate to hide.

My Review:
I absolutely loved reading this book! It's the most complex, it has all 3 couples, and it's the end of the series. And while it's sad to say goodbye to these characters, it was just so enjoyable to read this book-they ended with a bang!

I really enjoyed having the story of Sofia and Gideon. We met Sofia in This Shattered World, and Gideon was mentioned, and that they had this story was just fantastic, and amazing to read! They were such awesome characters to read about!

There were quite a few twists and turns in this book, as well as action and romance, heartbreak, betrayal and trust and friends and just plain awesomeness! Everything, and I mean everything,came together, and that was so great! Just a fantastic story, epic and awesome and definitely a keeper!

Totally enjoyed all the ups and downs that made up this book, but especially the page between the chapters, which have been in all the books, and the ending. The in-betweens have always been great, and this time, we got the "whisper's" story from the beginning, and that was so great! As well as that ending, because it was just the best!

I enjoyed reading this book, so, so, so much, and I'm sad to say goodbye to this world, but I can't wait for more books by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, together and separate!

Week 50 Review: Mothership

From Goodreads:
Elvie Nara was doing just fine in the year 2074. She had a great best friend, a dad she adored, and bright future working on the Ares Project on Mars. But then she had to get involved with sweet, gorgeous, dumb-as-a-brick Cole—and now she's pregnant.

Getting shipped off to the Hanover School for Expecting Teen Mothers was not how Elvie imagined spending her junior year, but she can go with the flow. That is, until a team of hot commandos hijacks the ship—and one of them turns out to be Cole. She hasn't seen him since she told him she's pregnant, and now he's bursting into her new home to tell her that her teachers are aliens and want to use her unborn baby to repopulate their species? Nice try, buddy. You could have just called.

So fine, finding a way off this ship is priority number one, but first Elvie has to figure out how Cole ended up as a commando, work together with her arch-nemesis, and figure out if she even wants to be a mother—assuming they get back to Earth in one piece.

My Review:
Such a great book! I enjoyed it so much, it was hilarious, though in reviews of the next two books, that this is the best of the series, that it gets worse, but I'm going to be optimistic! Though it is going to be hard to top the awesomeness that was this book!

The format of this book was to have a portion of the book in the current time, with Elvie pregnant on the ship, and then when things got going, leave it on a cliffhanger, and then going back to important bits that lead her to being on the ship. Which was informative and annoying that we got taken away from the action, which made me read faster!

Elvie was just a really awesome character! She was smart, she knew what she wanted, and she was strong, she got through being 16 and pregnant, pretty much on her own besides her best friend Ducky and her dad, who was so funny with his preparations for crises!

The whole world of aliens and baby switching and infertile moms after alien babies, it was interesting, if not great for the moms, who were chosen, and that totally sucks, because they're so young. But then there was the life and death stuff, as well as the shocker that Elvie had a daughter!

Really great book, hilarious, and I can't wait to read more!

Week 47 Review: Winter

From Goodreads:
Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won't approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn't as weak as Levana believes her to be and she's been undermining her stepmother's wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that's been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?

My Review:
Man, it was just so great to read this book! A bid sad, because we have to say goodbye to the characters, but they had such a great run in this series, so they deserve their happiness! And this book gave them that in the end!

So this was a big humongous book. It has the main characters Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and now Winter narrating, which is really great, as we've been introduced to them, the books have been getting bigger, and this is the final book with everything going on. So yeah. Glad that it was over 800 pages!

I loved all the ups and downs! There were a lot of moving pieces to this book, from Winter being with Levana and then not, Cinder and her friends and trying to take her throne. Add their guys, and that was a lot of moving parts!

There were some pretty hard parts, like Levana using her power to control everybody that she could to harm Cinder. That she deliberately made Winter sick so she'd spread it to kill off the rebels. But that ending was really great and people got happy endings.

One review that I saw mentioned Cinder's plans of giving up her throne. But if the roles were reversed, if Kai was the one with the Lunar throne, he would've given it up, because the Lunars, with their gifts, makes it a bad idea to have a single ruler. Yep.

I really enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to read what Marissa Meyer writes next!

Week 45 Review: Born of Betrayal

From Goodreads:
Years ago, family loyalty caused Fain Hauk to give up everything he loved: His military career. His planet. His fiancée. Even his name.

Now decades later, everything has changed. He's built a new life out of the ashes of his old, and he's vowed to never let anything threaten his loved ones again.

But when old enemies align themselves with new ones, he's caught in the middle of a brutal war. And when fate throws his former fiancée back into his world and she has her own agenda that includes taking his head for what he did to her years ago, more than just his life is at stake. The fate of the Ichidian universe and that of his brothers-in-arms hangs in the balance. Winner take all.

It's killed or be killed, and never has the battle been more fierce…

Or more fun. 

My Review:
Yeah, I loved reading this book! It was supposed to come before Born of Defiance, but I'm glad that things worked out the way that they did, because Talyn and Felicity finally got to have their happy ending! Yeah!

I really enjoyed Fain and Galene's book! They were just characters that I wanted to read about. Fain's been in previous instalments, but Galene's really only been in the series since Defiance, so we didn't get to know her too well. Not that we really know Fain all that well before this!

This is the book where we get to have a bit of the war. Only a bit, because it was only declared two chronological books ago since Defiance mostly happens before Born of Night. But things are gearing up, and why Fain and Galene were thrown together again! Just so awesome!

OK, mind blown! Sherrilyn Kenyon has pulled another Styxx, and made a guy that we thought was totally unredeemable, well, redeemed! And if you've read this book, then you know who I'm talking about! I can't wait to see their story in the next book! Note to self, whenever a so called bad guy survives the book, there's a chance that they could have this happen! Not all the time, but a chance, because oh, boy!

Loved this book so much, and I'm so excited, because we're going to get his book, the guy that I'm talking about, and I'm just so darned excited for that!

Week 41 Reviews: The House of the Stone, The White Rose


From Goodreads:
In The Jewel, we followed Violet in her servitude under the Duchess of the Lake. Now we'll hear Raven's story and her time as a surrogate for the Countess of the Stone in this digital novella from Amy Ewing.

When Raven is bought at the Auction, she knows immediately that things will not go well. And when she arrives at the Countess's palace, Raven quickly discovers that the Countess is much less interested in having a baby than experimenting with Raven's mind and body. Raven can only hope for an escape…and to see Violet again, all the while reminding herself that she is Raven Stirling, and she does matter.

From Goodreads:
Violet is on the run. After the Duchess of the Lake catches Violet with Ash, the hired companion at the Palace of the Lake, Violet has no choice but to escape the Jewel or face certain death. So along with Ash and her best friend, Raven, Violet runs away from her unbearable life of servitude.

But no one said leaving the Jewel would be easy. As they make their way through the circles of the Lone City, Regimentals track their every move, and the trio barely manages to make it out unscathed and into the safe haven they were promised—a mysterious house in the Farm.

But there's a rebellion brewing, and Violet has found herself in the middle of it. Alongside a new ally, Violet discovers her Auguries are much more powerful than she ever imagined. But is she strong enough to rise up against the Jewel and everything she has ever known?

The White Rose is a raw, captivating sequel to The Jewel that fans won't be able to put down until the final shocking moments.

My Review:
Reading these books was so awesome! Stone was hard to read because of what Raven went through, and Rose, well, so awesome, because they were on the move, and rebelling just by escaping! And another cliffhanger ending! Gah! Can't wait for the last book!

Having the story of Raven in the beginning, again, hard to read! Because 1) we knew it was going to get worse, and b) there was nothing we could do about it! We just knew that Violet had given her the escape serum, and just had to hope that it worked out OK!

Yeah, The White Rose picked up very quickly after the ending of The Jewel, which is really great, seeing that cliffhanger ending with Garnet! So fantastic to read it, and then have all these things happening, there was a lot more action or tension in this book that made it so much better than The Jewel!

So much happened in The White Rose, from learning more about her powers, and the truth about them, and about the Island's history. Oh, and the rebellion that's brewing! And the plan that is hatched! And just so much more! Such a fantastic book! And then that evil, cliffhanger ending! I need more!

Yeah, such a really fantastic series, and I can't wait to see how it's going to end!

Week 40 Review: The Scorpion Rules

From Goodreads:
A world battered by climate shift and war turns to an ancient method of keeping peace: the exchange of hostages. The Children of Peace - sons and daughters of kings and presidents and generals - are raised together in small, isolated schools called Preceptures. There, they learn history and political theory, and are taught to gracefully accept what may well be their fate: to die if their countries declare war.

Greta Gustafsen Stuart, Duchess of Halifax and Crown Princess of the Pan-Polar Confederation, is the pride of the North American Precepture. Learned and disciplined, Greta is proud of her role in keeping the global peace, even though, with her country controlling two-thirds of the world's most war-worthy resource — water — she has little chance of reaching adulthood alive. 

Enter Elián Palnik, the Precepture's newest hostage and biggest problem. Greta's world begins to tilt the moment she sees Elián dragged into the school in chains. The Precepture's insidious surveillance, its small punishments and rewards, can make no dent in Elián, who is not interested in dignity and tradition, and doesn't even accept the right of the UN to keep hostages. 

What will happen to Elián and Greta as their two nations inch closer to war? 

My Review:
So, uh, yeah, I stayed up till 2:30 in the morning to read this book, even though I had an 8 o'clock class, meaning I was getting up at 7. And I started this book just around midnight. I hope that says how much I enjoyed this book, how freaking awesome it is!

I absolutely loved this book! So fantastic, so different, so amazing! From Greta, a princess of a superpower, who controlls two thirds of the world's supply of water, knowing that makes it more likely that she won't survive being a prisoner of peace, to everybody else in this book!

Greta's narration was so funny! It's from there that I found my favourite lines of this book, of goats, mostly, but squash also plays a role! She had a dry wit, from who she is, to how she's been raised, and the whole Prisoner of Peace thing.

Talis. An AI that had a whole book of quotes from him, things that did make some sense, but there was a harshness there. Like, that if the country that war was being declared on, if they couldn't find a way to prevent war, then they would lose their child. And it's like, how could the ruler prevent war, and still come out with a country that could support it's citizens. Either Talis should help there because it's complicated, or their prisoner shouldn't be killed. I'm leaning towards the former! 

What happened to Elián's grandmother, what Talis did to her, that was pretty horrible. I'm glad that Greta was able to avoid being around there, but what description that she gave was still pretty horrifying!

Between the love, and the war, these characters had a lot of problems! I enjoyed everything about it, and the difficult choices that were made! And oh, that choice that Greta made in the end, so that Elián could get away, that there weren't anymore consequences of the delcared war! A difficult, and strange choice that Greta made, that makes me wonder where the sequel, the companion book, is going to go! I want to know!

Favourite lines: "Anyone who things goats are less destructive than lions on fire does not know goats well." That certainly is a statement! "On the day goats refuse to eat zucchini, we humans will have to give up all pretense of domination over the agricultural world. The squashes will have won. Just for a moment I could vividly imagine World War Squash." My head doesn't quite get this, but I know it's funny! "Goats-the shapers of history." Love these comments about goats! "If one had not known it was a sexually excited billy goat crashing horn-first into a wood-and-wire gate, one would have thought it was a demon forcing it's way into the world. In fairness, there's not a big different." Yeah, this book is teaching me that!

Such a great, fantastic, wonderful book! So awesome, and I can't wait to see where this series is going to go, I'm so excited for that, and the wait is going to be killer!

Week 40 Review: Spinning Starlight

From Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old heiress and paparazzi darling Liddi Jantzen hates the spotlight. But as the only daughter in the most powerful tech family in the galaxy, it's hard to escape it. So when a group of men show up at her house uninvited, she assumes it's just the usual media-grubs. That is, until shots are fired.

Liddi escapes, only to be pulled into an interplanetary conspiracy more complex than she ever could have imagined. Her older brothers have been caught as well, trapped in the conduits between the planets. And when their captor implants a device in Liddi's vocal cords to monitor her speech, their lives are in her hands: One word and her brothers are dead.

Desperate to save her family from a desolate future, Liddi travels to another world, where she meets the one person who might have the skills to help her bring her eight brothers home-a handsome dignitary named Tiav. But without her voice, Liddi must use every bit of her strength and wit to convince Tiav that her mission is true. With the tenuous balance of the planets deeply intertwined with her brothers' survival, just how much is Liddi willing to sacrifice to bring them back?

Haunting and mesmerizing, this retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Wild Swans strings the heart of the classic with a stunning, imaginative world as a star-crossed family fights for survival in this companion to Stitching Snow.

My Review:
The first thing I want to say, is that while this book has similarities to Stitching Snow-same author, similar covers, retellings set in a futuristic sci fi/fantasy world, and transportation is a plot point, or more in this book, they aren't companion books. They are both stand alones. So now that you know that, on to everything else!

This book was really fantastic! From the characters, to the world, to the plot, everything about this book was fantastic! I loved her inner thoughts, especially her proposed news articles titles to her actions or what was happening to her. So funny!

I must say, that the idea of a society that can't read because they have technology to make it obsolete almost perfectly reasonable, and scary. It's something that I love to do, and that they decided that it wasn't needed for communication...scary, but also sad.

Then again, the writing system of Tiav's world, was so strange and complicated! Like, it started off like ours, but then there were primary and secondary stages, so "T" was primary, then "i" was secondary, then "a" then "v" I think, but maybe not, because when he was doing that, he was enunciating the syllables. Confusing and complicated!

The ending was a bit confusing-I didn't know that they were at that point, I thought they still had a few more to go, and then things were happening, and it was over, and it was bittersweet, but so good to read! But yeah, just a little bit confusing for me, misreading something there!

Really fantastic book, and yeah, R.C. Lewis is a really fantastic author!

The Protector Project: Review

From Goodreads:
ENDLESS CARNAGE. ENDLESS QUESTIONS.

Mara is a 16-year-old soldier who's spent years fighting a war that's lasted generations. Wide-eyed children, some just turned thirteen, rarely survive their first fights, despite her best efforts to train and lead them. What she thinks she wants is to uncover the root causes of the war between the Protectors and the masked Gaishan, maybe find a way to end it. But what she really wants is a future—for herself and the others—beyond the battlefield.

Then she's injured in combat, and when an enemy fighter not only heals her wounds but reveals his face, she sees the promise of all she desires. This cunning teen Gaishan has answers to her questions, but first she must commit treason and travel beyond the boundaries of her world. She must brave a place where everything rests on the point of a blade: her loyalties, her friends, her heart.

My Review:
This was a really awesome book! I really enjoyed the world, and the details that were slowly given or gathered, that just grew and grew, and in turn affected so much of this book, it was just fantastic to read all of that!

I really enjoyed reading about Mara, because she's been fighting this war, and she's still around, and even has a leadership position. But she's connected to things that are happening, more than she knows, because there's secrecy surrounding her that she pulls back as the book goes on!

Then there's how everything turned out, with the seeds and the Tree, and territories, and the lies told, seeing as there were no Gaishan, that was just made up for the fight. Which is pretty horrible-a lot of kids died fighting this war. But the good guys won in the end!

With that ending, one of hope, of things happening, well, this could bee a stand alone book. But the bad guys as it turned out, weren't taken off the map, so they're still a threat, so yeah, it could go either way!

Really fantastic book! So enjoyable, and I hope you guys check it out!

Week 38 Review: After the Red Rain

From Goodreads:
A postapocalyptic novel with a cinematic twist from New York Times bestseller Barry Lyga, actor Peter Facinelli, and producer Robert DeFranco.

On the ruined planet Earth, where 50 billion people are confined to megacities and resources are scarce, Deedra has been handed a bleak and mundane existence by the Magistrate she works so hard for. But one day she comes across a beautiful boy named Rose struggling to cross the river--a boy with a secretive past and special abilities, who is somehow able to find comfort and life from their dying planet.

But just as the two form a bond, it is quickly torn apart after the Magistrate's son is murdered and Rose becomes the prime suspect. Little do Deedra and Rose know how much their relationship will affect the fate of everyone who lives on the planet.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! It did have flaws that I'll explian, but it was really great to read! Different, and just a little bit scary that the Red Rain-and what that turns out to be-could happen to us. Because we do have a huge population!

So a bit flaw was that some things weren't connected. Like the prologue, and who that man was, didn't connect to the rest of the book, because while Deedra has evidence of it (her scar, the necklace) she doesn't remember.

There was also a lot going on. This was a pretty big book, so it felt like too much going on, and not enough information on what was going on, that the above kinda explains. So yeah, there was that going on.

But enough of the negatives! These were some really awesome characters, and their situation was pretty messed up-like when the guy was interrogating her, and she says plan, and he takes it as the spy meaning, instead of green living stuff, yeah. That was going on.

Just a really enjoyable and great story with a pretty great ending!

Week 38 Reviews: Revolution 19, Fugitive X, City 1



From Goodreads:
Twenty years ago, the robots designed to fight our wars abandoned the battlefields. Then they turned their weapons on us.

Only a few escaped the robot revolution of 2071. Kevin, Nick, and Cass are lucky —they live with their parents in a secret human community in the woods. Then their village is detected and wiped out. Hopeful that other survivors have been captured by bots, the teens risk everything to save the only people they have left in the world—by infiltrating a city controlled by their greatest enemies.


Revolution 19 is a cinematic thriller unlike anything else. With a dynamic cast of characters, this surefire blockbuster has everything teen readers want—action, drama, mystery, and romance. Written by debut novelist Gregg Rosenblum, this gripping story shouldn't be missed.

From Goodreads:
Their fight for freedom is humanity's last hope for survival. The chilling Revolution 19 trilogy continues in Fugitive X.

A war between humans and robots is on the horizon, and only one side will survive.

Siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass are struggling to survive in a world where deadly, sophisticated robots have turned on their creators and enslaved mankind. Fugitives from one of the bot-controlled Cities, the siblings venture into the woods, but when they are attacked by bot foot soldiers, the siblings are separated...and for the first time, they are on their own.

Created in conjunction with Alloy Entertainment; Howard Gordon, showrunner of 24 and Showtime's Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning Homeland; and James Wong, writer-director of the Final Destination films, Fugitive X is the gripping next installment in the cinematic Revolution 19 series.

From Goodreads:
In the explosive conclusion to the thrilling Revolution 19 series, the time has come to win the cities back from the bots—or die trying.

After finally reuniting at a rebel camp, siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass are willing to do anything to stay together—and free their parents from bot rule. But the leader of the rebel camp has her own ideas. Cruel and determined, General Clay won't let anything stand in the way of her plan to destroy the robots and all the brainwashed humans. This means their parents' lives are at stake, but Nick, Kevin, and Cass can't desert the rebels when they're so close to freedom. How far will they go to save the world they believe in?

My Review:
These books were really awesome to read! I mean, the robot apocalypse? So awesome, and dark, since the robots killed most of humanity, and is now rounding up survivors and putting them in cities for purposes basically unknown.

This is the story of 3 siblings (well, Cassie is adopted, since her parents were killed so the rest of the group could leave) Nick and Kevin. They aren't always together, but they have the same basic goal-save their parents, which grows into save humanity from the robots!

We did get scenes from robot's perspectives. And they were pretty creepy. Like one scene, a higher up robot was eating-and then spitting it out, since he only had a tongue, he didn't have anything else. Just to figure out taste. Such a waste!

I really enjoyed that ending, it was fought for, and there were losses, and most definitely there were struggles, but at the end of the day, some things are worth fighting for, and this was one of them, so that ending was pretty great!

Really fantastic trilogy, and yeah, I just really enjoyed reading it!
