Week 49 Review: The Possibility of Somewhere

From Goodreads:
Together is somewhere they long to be.
Ash Gupta has a life full of possibility. His senior year is going exactly as he's always wanted-- he's admired by his peers, enjoying his classes and getting the kind of grades that his wealthy, immigrant parents expect. There's only one obstacle in Ash's path: Eden Moore—the senior most likely to become class valedictorian. How could this unpopular, sharp-tongued girl from the wrong side of the tracks stand in his way?

All Eden's ever wanted was a way out. Her perfect GPA should be enough to guarantee her a free ride to college -- and an exit from her trailer-park existence for good. The last thing she needs is a bitter rivalry with Ash, who wants a prized scholarship for his own selfish reasons. Or so she thinks. . .When Eden ends up working with Ash on a class project, she discovers that the two have more in common than either of them could have imagined. They're both in pursuit of a dream -- one that feels within reach thanks to their new connection. But what does the future hold for two passionate souls from totally different worlds?

Week 34 Review: The Lightness of Hands

From Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old Ellie Dante is desperate for something in her life to finally go right. Her father was a famous stage magician until he attempted an epic illusion on live TV—and failed. Now Ellie lives with her dad in a beat-up RV, attending high school online and performing with him at birthday parties and bars across the Midwest to make ends meet.

But when the gigs dry up, their insurance lapses, leaving Dad's heart condition unchecked and forcing Ellie to battle her bipolar II disorder without medication.

Then Ellie receives a call from a famous magic duo, who offer fifteen thousand dollars and a shot at redemption: they want The Uncanny Dante to perform the illusion that wrecked his career—on their live TV special, which shoots in Los Angeles in ten days.

Ellie knows her dad will refuse-but she takes the deal anyway, then lies to persuade him to head west. With the help of her online-only best friend and an unusual guy she pairs up with along the way, Ellie makes a plan to stage his comeback. But when her lie is exposed, she'll have to confront her illness and her choices head-on to save her father—and herself.

Week 48 Review: Just Breathe

From Goodreads:
From the critically acclaimed author of A Step Toward Falling and Say What You Will comes a new YA standalone about mental health, chronic illness, and two teenagers learning to deal with both while falling for each other, perfect for fans of Five Feet Apart.

David Sheinman is the popular president of his senior class, battling cystic fibrosis.

Jamie Turner is a quiet sophomore, struggling with depression.

The pair soon realizes that they can be their true selves with each other, and their unlikely friendship develops into something so much more. But neither Jamie nor David can bring themselves to reveal the secrets that weigh most heavily on their hearts—and their time for honesty may be running out.

My Review:
I had a really good time reading this book! It's not normally one that I would pick up, because contemporary really isn't my thing, but I'm always afraid that I'll miss out on a fantastic book. This doesn't have a wow factor for me, but I did have a good time reading it

One thing that I really liked was the cover, it's simple with the black background, but then it has the paper and the steps of origami with the different coloured pieces of paper, and visually it really pops, so that was really great!

Mental health, and chronic illness, both are things that need to be more widely known. I can't speak to how well done they were, but I'm glad that they got this representation, and how it doesn't shy away from how hard it can be.

I really enjoyed David and Jamie's story, being a teenager is hard,and they both are dealing with things that make it harder, and having someone to relate to, to share your struggles with, it helps. They were a great couple, and I really had a great time reading about them! 

Really enjoyed this book, I'm glad that I read it, and I can't wait to read more by Cammie McGovern!

Week 48 Review: If Only

From Goodreads:
Before:

When Bridget imagined her life at sixteen, it didn't look like this. She didn't think that her boyfriend would dump her for another girl. And she certainly didn't think that she would be pregnant. With just a few months until she gives birth, Bridget must envision an entirely new future—one for her baby. But as she sifts through the many paths and the many people who want to parent her child, she can't help but feel that there is no right decision.

After:

Ivy doesn't know much about her birth mother. She knows that she is now the same age Bridget was when she placed Ivy for adoption. She knows that Bridget was the one who named her. And she knows that fifteen years ago Bridget disappeared from Ivy's and her adoptive moms' lives. Ivy wants to discover more about herself, but as she goes to find Bridget, she can't help but feel that the risks might far outweigh the benefits of knowing where she comes from and why her birth mother chose to walk away.

My Review:
I was a little bit anxious about reading this book. It's not my typical read, it's contemporary, but FOMO had me adding it to my TBR. I did enjoy it, but it's still not something that I gravitate towards. I've read other teenage pregnancy books with the story of the mother and of the daughter before, and this was a good addition to those! 

This book takes the title seriously. We had chapters of "if only" Bridget had made different choices, what would Ivy's life be like. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I knew what they were, they were an really interesting storytelling technique. 

I honestly felt pretty bad for Bridget, it sucked to have her boyfriend break up with her, and then find out that she was pregnant. Deciding what she was going to do with her baby, that was the question, and that we also got Ivy's story was really great as well! 

Ivy has the mystery of why her birth mother left her-she was a part of her adopted mother's lives and she could've stayed there. Finding out why, and where she went, are really big questions in Ivy's life. i really enjoyed watching things play out! 

I had a pretty decent time reading this, and it was a really great book!

Week 48 Review: Here There Are Monsters

From Goodreads:
The Blair Witch Project meets Imaginary Girls in this story of codependent sisterhood, the struggle to claim one's own space, and the power of secrets

Sixteen-year-old Skye is done playing the knight in shining armor for her insufferable younger sister, Deirdre. Moving across the country seems like the perfect chance to start over.

In their isolated new neighborhood, Skye manages to fit in, but Deirdre withdraws from everyone, becoming fixated on the swampy woods behind their house and building monstrous sculptures out of sticks and bones.

Then Deirdre disappears.

And when something awful comes scratching at Skye's window in the middle of the night, claiming she's the only one who can save Deirdre, Skye knows she will stop at nothing to bring her sister home. 

My Review:
Man, this book was dark and creepy, and I had such a great time reading it! I loved this story about these sisters who don't get along, and everything that unfolds once they get to their new house in such a spooky location!

I did previously start reading this book, and got a decent chunk in. I only put it down because I had it confused with another that I had to read urgently. Which is too bad, because I was having a really great time, and I don't know why it took me so long to then pick it up again! 

Skye and Deirdre have a strained relationship. They're sisters, they love each other, but Deirdre wants to spend more time with Skye, but Skye doesn't want to spend time with her weirdo sister. Then Deirdre disappears, and Skye takes it upon herself to find her and bring her home.

I wanted to know if Deirdre was actually in this world or if she was making it up. The uncertainty of what was going on, yeah, that kept the intrigue levels up and the pages flowing! It was a really great story that I really enjoyed reading! 

Loved reading this book, and I'll be interested in what Amelinda Bérubé writes next!

Week 41 Review: The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever

From Goodreads:
The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever is so bad, it could wake the dead…

After producing three horror films that went mostly ignored on YouTube, Justin and his filmmaking buddies decide it's time to make something epic. In fact, they're going to make The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever. They may not have money or a script, but they have passion. And, after a rash text message, they also have the beautiful Alicia Howtz as the lead.

Hemmed in by a one-month timeline and a cast of uncooperative extras, but aching to fulfill Alicia's dreams, Justin must face the sad, sad truth: he may, in actuality, be producing The Worst Zombie Movie Ever.

My Review:
This was such a fun read. I really enjoyed reading about this trio of friends who are aiming to make the greatest zombie movie ever, but immediately run into a number of problems. It was just so easy and entertaining to read! 

The friendship that this guys have with one another was really great. They know each other, and they're comfortable, and I loved their ribbing of one another, from random ideas they have for the movie, to Justin's crush on Alicia.

The plan to make this movie is hampered by many things-they don't have a title, a full script (and attempt an all nighter just to get a partial script, which lead to the hilarious bed wanting to eat him bit), they have a month to do it before summer vacation, they have a very strict budget, but aren't approved to film at school...there were a number of things that were going wrong, and I loved every minute of it!

I really can't get enough of the humour though. This is a contemporary read, so you expect certain things, like chores and such, and then there's the absurd like an ex-con doing their costumes and make up, that a clown is messing up their shots. And the way that Justin's mind worked! It was so much fun to read! 

I really had a great time reading this book, it was just so hilarious!

Week 21 Review: Dating the Undead

From Goodreads:
For those mortals wanting to get up close and personal with the beautiful undead, there's...

V-DATE, THE UNDEAD DATING SERVICE

Silver Harris is done with clingy men—maybe men altogether. But when she shares a toe-curling kiss with a sexy Irish vampire on New Year's Eve, she decides maybe it's human men she's done with. Silver turns to the popular vampire dating site, V-Date. When the undead gentlemen come calling, soon she's in over her head. And her mysterious hottie is nowhere to be found...

Logan Byrne can't get that sassy redhead out of his head—or that kiss! When his boss assigns him to spy on V-Date members, he meets Silver again. Turns out, the police are recruiting humans to snitch on vampires through the dating site. As the snark and sparks fly, feelings between Silver and Logan grow deep. Logan isn't sure he can go through with his mission to make Silver forget everything she knows about vampires...and betray her.

But in the tight-knit London community of centuries-old vampires, history and grudges run deep and dating the undead can be risky business. 

My Review:
This book was so much fun to read! I loved this romance, it was just so much fun, and I had such a great time with these characters! I felt invested in their story, and I just couldn't put it down! I was having too much fun!

I loved the combo of vampires and humour. Plus romance, don't forget that. They came together and worked together so well! The absurdity of vampires, that they actually exist in this world, it's crazy, and to add the humor and the romance, I just really enjoyed that! 

This couple were really great to read about. They had chemistry, they had a hilarious happenstance in meeting, and they have all these odds against them. Of course I was rooting for them, for them to work out, no matter how difficult it became!

The way that vampires worked in this world was really interesting, and with the way that things resolved in this book, it'll be interesting to see what things are like in future books, to see if this has had much of an effect on everything. Can't wait to find out! 

This was a really great read, and I can't wait to continue the series!

Week 10 Review: The Cabin

From Goodreads:
There may only be one killer, but no one is innocent in this new young adult thriller from Natasha Preston, author of The Cellar, a New York Times Bestseller, and Awake

They think they're invincible.
They think they can do and say whatever they want.
They think there are no consequences.
They've left me no choice.
It's time for them to pay for their sins.

A weekend partying at a remote cabin is just what Mackenzie needs. She can't wait to let loose with her friends. But a crazy night of fun leaves two of them dead-murdered. 
With no signs of a forced entry or struggle, suspicion turns to the five survivors. Someone isn't telling the truth. And Mackenzie's first mistake? Assuming the killing is over...

My Review:
I enjoyed this book. But it was a bit young, and there were some parts where there was a random time jump, with really no indication that it had happened on the page, like a paragraph break or anything. And that was a little confusing. Plus I wish there were a few more transition scenes, because suddenly the characters would be in a random place, and it just caused me more confusion.

I really felt for Mackenzie, because first two of her friends die in an accident, and now, one and her boyfriend, have been murdered, and her remaining friends (and her love interest) are the main suspects in their murder. So that's difficult, even coming to the conclusion that one of her friends is a murderer. But as the book goes on, she does learn of secrets from all of her friends, giving all of them potential motives, which upped the stakes.

I know I'm putting on complaint after complaint. But I do read so much, that only putting what I enjoyed makes it harder to write reviews, I run out of things to say. On that note, I found Mackenzie and Blake's relationship to be on the middle end of YA, they act their ages and immature, and make some not so great decisions, and that's pretty true to life. It's just not quite as entertaining to read, though.

That ending, I'm conflicted. On one hand, I liked how much of a twist it was. On the other, it was a bit disjointed, and short, and it didn't quite make sense as a reveal, the reasoning. Plus that last, last line, it's not the right thing to do, they were panicking, and I wish that they'd do differently. 

I did enjoy this book, but it's not one that I feel like I need to reread.

Week 47 Review: The Blood Spell

From Goodreads:
Blue de la Cour has her life planned: hide the magic in her blood and continue trying to turn metal into gold so she can help her city's homeless. But when her father is murdered and a cruel but powerful woman claims custody of Blue and her property, one wrong move could expose her—and doom her once and for all. The only one who can help? The boy she's loathed since childhood: Prince Kellan.

Kellan Renard, crown prince of Balavata, is walking a thin line between political success and devastating violence. Newly returned from boarding school, he must find a bride among the kingdom's head families and announce his betrothal—but escalating tension among the families makes the search nearly impossible. He's surprised to discover that the one person who makes him feel like he can breathe is Blue, the girl who once ruined all his best adventures. 

When mysterious forces lead to disappearances throughout Balavata, Blue and Kellan must work together to find the truth. What they discover will lead them to the darkest reaches of the kingdom, and to the most painful moments of their pasts. When romance is forbidden and evil is rising, can Blue save those she loves, even if it costs her everything?

My Review:
This was a really great read. I've really enjoyed this series, and this appears to be the conclusion, since it was published early 2019, and no book was published in early 2020. So I'm sad to say goodbye, but I really enjoyed these retellings of fairy tales! 

I loved their relationship, especially in the beginning. It was pretty antagonistic, mainly because she's on the outside, doesn't know the guilt he feels over his father's death, and wants better for the kingdom. So I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship!  

Honestly, I sympathized with the one bad guy. After all, with one or two tweaks (like her not killing people in her way) she could've been a good person. After all, she only wanted security for herself and her daughters. And what her husband did was just plain awful. But that didn't mean she had to do what she did to Blue.

That ending, man! I mean, they were wrong with way that they viewed magic, they took their fear too far, which is really easy to do. But I'm glad that it worked out that way, it was a great mix of this world and the fairy tale, and it was a really satisfying ending, and I really enjoyed it! 

This was such a great read, I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to read more by C.J. Redwine!

Week 39 Review: The Aftermath

From Goodreads:
Sometimes, I dream that I'm someone else.

A girl with dark hair who doesn't worry about hunger or thirst or running from flesh-eaters.

In her world, those sorts of things don't exist.

Since the spring of 2036, when the world changed forever, Claudia and a small clan of survivors have roamed the streets of a very altered Nashville: polluted and desolate, except for the ever-present threat of cannibal Hoarders. Together they must undergo punishing tests of endurance and psychological challenge sometimes with devastating consequences all just to live another day.

With food and water in dwindling supply, and with danger lurking around every corner, no one can be trusted. And as her world starts to make less and less sense, Claudia begins to realize something terrifying: she is just a pawn in some sort of game, and all of her actions are being controlled from afar by a mysterious gamer. So when she meets a maddening and fascinating outsider named Declan, who claims to be a game moderator, she must decide whether to join him in exchange for protection and access to the border.

If they play the game right, they are each other's best hope for survival and a life beyond the only world Claudia's ever known: the terrifying live-action game known as The Aftermath. 

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book. This whole idea of an apocalyptical future is interesting, but this has been done with a twist-that it's a game, where the characters are real people being controlled by the players. Yeah. Pretty intense!

I really enjoyed reading about Claudia, as she learns the truth about the world that she lives in, and discovers how she's different, and how to use that against the system. I felt so bad for her, being stuck in this world.

The whole concept of the games-that if you have this gene, then you have to play for treatment, and if you can't pay, you become the character, is pretty awful. And given that all the citizens should've had sufficient means to live on, well, there was something off about the whole situation!

One that that I knew going in, was that while it said this was a series, and Goodreads has a sequel listed, it was said that it should've come out in 2016. And it didn't. And the author's social media pages haven't posted on in years. So it's unlikely that we'll get that sequel. And I'm sad, because I want to know where the story goes from here!

Loved reading this book, it was so great, I only wish we'll get the sequel!

Week 5 Review: Zero

From Goodreads:
For aspiring artist Amanda Walsh, who only half-jokingly goes by the nickname Zero, the summer before college was supposed to be fun—plain and simple. Hanging out with her best friend Jenn, going to clubs, painting, and counting down the days until her escape. But when must-have scholarship money doesn't materialize, and she has a falling out with Jenn that can only be described as majorly awkward, and Zero's parents relationship goes from tense to relentless fighting, her prospects start looking as bleak and surreal as a painting by her idol Salvador Dali. Will life truly imitate art? Will her new, unexpected relationship with a punk skater boy who seems too good to be real and support from the unlikeliest of sources show Zero that she's so much more than a name.

My Review:
I enjoyed this book quite a bit! It was interesting and weird, and while I did have some hard times actually reading it, to the point where I stopped reading it for stretches of time, well, I did finish it, and I did like it!

So Amanda, or Zero, has had it decent until now, where things really start to fall apart, she doesn't have a scholarship to get her to college, and her parents are fighting, and there's all this negative stuff going on. And then she meets a boy.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Zero and Mike, it was just what she needed to get back up, and start trying again, for something that she wanted, vs. something that other people wanted for her. Which was really great!

This is a story about finding yourself, and everything that implies. There were a lot of harder parts, and struggles, but those are the kind of things that shape you, start to set you on the road that you'll probably take for a good deal of your life!

Really enjoyable, and yeah, I liked it!

Week 47 Review: You Suck

From Goodreads:
"You bitch, you killed me. You suck."

Being dead sucks. Make that being "un"dead sucks.

Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody--the woman of his dreams--is a vampire. And surprise. Now he's one, too.

For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, "someone" has to run errands during daylight hours )

Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.

And that really sucks.

My Review:
Gah! Another book that I didn't really like, a book that I didn't really read, just kinda flipped the pages, hoping that I would be able to get to the end, so I would have something to say in this review of mine. I didn't come up with much, but hopefully some!

So Tommy has about the appropriate response for being turned into a vampire. I could've done without the swearing, but I think about a good half of people would be angry and upset over being turned without their consent.

I haven't read the first book. And with the way that I felt about this book, well, I'm most likely not going to read it. Maybe, if I'd read it first, then things might've made more sense, and not been all over the place, I might've enjoyed this book more. Oh, well.

I know that it sounds really weird. But it was really funny, which was about it's only redeeming quality. Sure, it felt true, what the characters actions were in this world of vampires, but the funny was the only part that I really liked.

This is a book for someone else. So someone else, go out, and enjoy it like I didn't!

Week 31 Review: Zombies Vs. Unicorns

From Goodreads:
It's a question as old as time itself: which is better, the zombie or the unicorn? In this anthology, edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier (unicorn and zombie, respectively), strong arguments are made for both sides in the form of short stories. Half of the stories portray the strengths--for good and evil--of unicorns and half show the good (and really, really bad-ass) side of zombies. Contributors include many bestselling teen authors, including Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Maureen Johnson, Meg Cabot, Scott Westerfeld, and Margo Lanagan. This anthology will have everyone asking: Team Zombie or Team Unicorn?

My Review:
I think my team is very small, almost to the point of non-existence. And probably a bit unpopular. But I'm Team Both. I mean, both Zombies and Unicorns are pretty awesome! This is just what I love about YA-the variety! Why would I want to narrow it down by thinking one is better then the other?

So Holly Black led the team for unicorns, with authors like Diana Peterfreund and Meg Cabot, who are both really awesome YA authors! These unicorn stories were diverse, and interesting, with a lot of different takes, it was pretty incredible to read those takes!

And then Justine Larbalester led the team for zombies, and the authors on her team that stand out for him are Cassandra Clare and Scott Westerfeld, who are also some really incredible talents in the YA world! The zombie stories, they had a variety of tones, from thriller to romance, and the range was just so good!

I don't really know why there is a competition, to be honest,. Both creatures have their strengths and weaknesses, and I think the story that would've been the best, would be the one that had both zombies and unicorns. Because, duh, double the awesome!

Loved this anthology, it was a lot of fun, and had a great theme! Really great!
