Week 38 Review: A Whole New World

From Goodreads:
Welcome to a new YA series that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. Each book asks the question: What if one key moment from a familiar Disney film was changed? This dark and daring version of Aladdin twists the original story with the question: What if Jafar was the first one to summon the Genie? 

When Jafar steals the Genie's lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish. To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war.

What happens next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again. 

My Review:
Yeah, it was really fantastic to read this! And yeah that this is a series, because I enjoyed reading this book a lot! So fantastic to have this retelling of a Disney movie that was just so great, taking a pivotal moment, and changing it around! So awesome!

So what I found really fantastic about this book, is that the beginning was basically the movie, with a few added details that fleshed out Aladdin's background, and seeing as he's the hero, that was really great. And then the change happened, and everything that changed was really interesting and awesome to read!

Where this book went when Jafar had the genie the whole time, well, yeah, that was pretty interesting. It put things on it's head-like Aladdin isn't the one that develops the relationship with Genie, that's Jasmine. And Carpet, and how that all went! And Jafar's wishes! Oh, man!

Really fantastic ending to this book! Totally different, what with the zombies and everything, and what Jafar's last wish was, that was pretty powerful, and it's a wonder the no one before had asked for magic to be removed! Yeah, that was an ending!

Just really enjoyed this book so much, the changes that came about were inspired!

Week 38 Review: Shattered Blue

From Goodreads:
For Noa and Callum, being together is dangerous, even deadly. From the start, sixteen-year-old Noa senses that the mysterious transfer student to her Monterey boarding school is different. Callum unnerves and intrigues her, and even as she struggles through family tragedy, she's irresistibly drawn to him. Soon they are bound by his deepest secret: Callum is Fae, banished from another world after a loss hauntingly similar to her own.

But in Noa's world, Callum needs a special human energy, Light, to survive; his body steals it through touch—or a kiss. And Callum's not the only Fae on the hunt. When Callum is taken, Noa must decide: Will she sacrifice everything to save him? Even if it means learning their love may not be what she thought?

My Review:
Yeah, this was a pretty fantastic book. This world of Fae, and Light, and how things worked, that was pretty awesome and enjoyable to read! Just the sort of thing that I like to read, so yeah, that was pretty awesome for me!

There was a bit of a slow start to this book, Noa was morning her sister, and then things started going, and that was pretty awesome! The beginning was just a little bit too slow for me, but the middle and later was way better for me!

I enjoyed the relationship between Noa and Callum, you'd think it'd be unbalanced, because he's not human and she is, but it didn't work out that way, they both had their strengths, sure, but they were balanced, so that was really great to read!

This is the first book in a trilogy, so the ending, well, I was open as to what was going to happen, because it could've happened in any number of ways. And what did happen, that was pretty fantastic to read! Really enjoyable and great and setting up for the sequel!

Yep, really awesome book, and I can't wait to read more!

Week 38 Review: Crushed

From Goodreads:
The Noah girls have beauty, powers, and brains.
They use all three to play their games.
They blow the dust,
the boys are crushed,
and no one is ever the same.

Each year the Noah girls play a secret game— Crushed. The rules are simple.

1. Use wisdom to pick your target. The boy can't be too weak or too strong-willed. 
2. Blow the enchanted dust into your target's face to enchant (Crush) him. 
3. Give verbal commands and assign them tasks to perform throughout the year. The more tasks completed, the stronger the witch's power grows. 
4. At the end of the year, the witch with the most power wins cold, hard cash. 

As if being a witch in high school isn't complicated enough, Kristen picks the wrong boy to Crush. Zack is tall, handsome, and a little scary. Her Crush spell isn't working on him like it has with the others. In fact, he is behaving the opposite of every other boy she's Crushed, hating her instead of adoring her. Something is definitely wrong. After someone attempts to kill her, Kristen realizes there is more at risk than a few hundred dollars. She may be betting with her life. 

My Review:
This was a really awesome book! I enjoyed it a lot, it was just really great to read! I mean, this world of witches, and this game that these sisters had, that while I didn't like the game itself, or the idea of it, well, watching it play out was pretty awesome!

The relationship between Kristen and Zack was different. Because he wasn't her type, and she wasn't his, and yet they also made sense, even if she didn't know about him having magic, though he knew about hers. So when revelations came around, that was pretty fun to read!

Kristen's family, well, yeah. Her sisters, there was some trouble there, and while I knew some of it was because of the bad guy, but still. The dynamic there was a mix of good and bad, because siblings fight, but they seemed to take it a bit too high sometimes, you know?

I did have some problems with this book. Like everything seemed too perfect. Like hey, meet a guy, have all this stuff happen, and then have this happy ending that just seemed too easy, too perfect. Also, the world wasn't quite fleshed out-why and how does being accused of being a witch take away said witch's powers? That wasn't explained.

I really enjoyed reading this book though, really nice and awesome to read, can't wait for the sequel!

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 Review: One

From Goodreads:
Tippi and Grace share everything—clothes, friends . . . even their body. Writing in free verse, Sarah Crossan tells the sensitive and moving story of conjoined twin sisters, which will find fans in readers of Gayle Forman, Jodi Picoult, and Jandy Nelson.

Tippi and Grace. Grace and Tippi. For them, it's normal to step into the same skirt. To hook their arms around each other for balance. To fall asleep listening to the other breathing. To share. And to keep some things private. The two sixteen-year-old girls have two heads, two hearts, and each has two arms, but at the belly, they join. And they are happy, never wanting to risk the dangerous separation surgery.

But the girls' body is beginning to fight against them. And soon they will have to face the impossible choice they have avoided for their entire lives.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! I didn't see the part of free verse when I was creating this post, so first reading this book was just a bit strange, but it was just so enjoyable to read this book that the strangeness didn't become a negative, so that was great!

This was the story of Tippi and Grace, told by Grace. Goodreads says that it's about 400 pages. My nook said 100, but it took 4 or 5 page turns to count as one page. And seeing as I read so much on the 17th, well, it was because I read books like this, well written, and something that I wanted to read!

It was a bit sad to read this book. Because there was just that note, that tone of voice, and the synopsis! Things had been hard, but it was what they were used to, and there were comments from them about that, and about those of us that were "normal." And they were right. And everybody has different normals

At the ending, yeah, it really sucked what had happened. And that Grace is going to have to live the rest of her life without her twin, her twin who never left her side, was unable to, until the surgery. And all because a cold weakened a heart. So sucky!

Really fantastic book to read, with really great characters, and just yeah, I really enjoyed it!

Week 38 Review: The Lifeboat Clique

From Goodreads:
Some people might say that Denver had a death wish. Why else would she have dared to sneak into a Malibu beach party where she'd be surrounded by enemies, namely including her ex-BFF Abigail?

Oh yeah. Croix. Denver never thought in a million years he'd ask her out, but who was she to question this miracle of fate? Well, that wasn't the only surprise fate had in store.

During the party a tsunami hit the coast of California, wiping out everything in its path. Denver and a handful of others escaped death by holding onto the roof of the house and were swept out to sea. Of course, one of her fellow castaways was none other than Abigail, who could barely stand the sight of her.

Now that she's floating in the ocean, stuck on a small boat with the most popular kids in school and waiting to be rescued, Denver wonders what might kill her first-dehydration, sunstroke, or the girl she used to think of as a sister?

A hilariously dark and twisted story that sparkles with a remarkably fresh voice, The Lifeboat Clique is Kathy Park's irreverent yet insightful novel about how to survive in the most unthinkable circumstances.

My Review:
This was such a fantastic book! So enjoyable, and a really great book about survival-if I ever end up stranded in the middle of the ocean, I have some tips that could help! It was just a really great story to read, and I enjoyed it a whole ton!

The way that it was told, going back and forth from Denver and Abigail's friendship's story from beginning to ruin, and being on the lifeboat, was really awesome! We got why it broke, and then we had them afterwards on the lifeboat, not really dealing with the elephant, but surviving.

I really enjoyed these characters! Denver, with her knack for survival, Abigail, while not born in Texas, and only lived there for 3 years, threw herself whole heartedly into all things Texas. And of course, the mean girl, and her sycophant. Not really likeable, but you still want them to survive!

It sucks, the lesson that they learn at the end, because hey, life isn't perfect, and it is L.A., why would a huge disaster like a tsunami and all the deaths it caused, have people change, be better people? Well, at least they were, so that was great!

Really enjoyed reading this book, it was so great!

Week 38 Review: Symptoms of Being Human

From Goodreads:
The first thing you're going to want to know about me is: Am I a boy, or am I a girl?

Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. The thing is . . . Riley isn't exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in uber-conservative Orange County, the pressure—media and otherwise—is building up in Riley's so-called "normal" life.

On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it's REALLY like to be a gender-fluid teenager. But just as Riley's starting to settle in at school—even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast—the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley's real identity, threatening exposure. Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created—a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in—or stand up, come out, and risk everything. 

My Review:
So this book, I just absolutely loved it! I'd been having something of a bad day, and then I started to read this book. I even wrote a blog post about it, here! That was how fantastic this book was for me, and I hadn't even finished it! Have now, and it was just so great!

This book is about Riley, who's gender fluid, which is about identity, not the physical body, though in Riley's case (and probably others, but we don't have any others) it manifested itself there, from clothing choices, to postures.

I really enjoyed Riley's blogging, there was a style there, with the music, telling of the feelings, and it sparked a lot comments and followers, and even a pretty horrible incident. I didn't like the one comment, that Riley wasn't qualified to give that advice, and that Riley should be sued. Except that Riley didn't tell the girl to go home, she just said that her parents might have regretted their words. But it was just a pretty sucky situation!

Really enjoyed Riley with Solo, and with Bec! They were a big part of Riley's life, the two people in the new school that Riley connected to, though in different ways. And while I thought Mike/Michelle was Bec's dad, well, Bec was connected to the LGBT community in a different way.

I want to talk about the ending, but it was pretty spoiler-y and since this book doesn't come out for a long while, I'll just say that the ending, while having some hard parts, was just perfect, and a great ending to a book that I loved so much!

Week 38 Review: Evidence of Things Not Seen

From Goodreads:
When high school junior Tommy Smythe goes missing, everyone has a theory about what happened to him. Tommy was adopted, so maybe he ran away to find his birth parents. He was an odd kid, often deeply involved in his own thoughts about particle physics, so maybe he just got distracted and wandered off. He was last seen at a pull-out off the highway, so maybe someone drove up and snatched him. Or maybe he slipped into a parallel universe. Tommy believes that everything is possible, and that until something can be proven false, it is possibly true. So as long as Tommy's whereabouts are undetermined, he could literally be anywhere.

Told in a series of first-person narratives from people who knew Tommy and third-person chapters about people who find the things Tommy left behind—his red motorbike, his driving goggles, pages from his notebook—Particles explores themes of loneliness, connectedness, and the role we play in creating our own realities.

My Review:
This book was so strange! A book about a boy who isn't actually there-because he's disappeared, and there's all sorts of possibilities given as to where he went. And the whole point of the book, for me, is the last line, "We have to live each day with the mystery." And we do-that's life.

Particle physics was a big part of this book-it was what Tommy was obsessed over when he disappeared, and some of the possibilities were that given were about that, however unlikely. Plus the little hints in the book!

It was also in the synopsis, in the whole book, because without knowing, without observing, well, all those possibilities are open, the choice hasn't been made, the path decided. So while they are there, one of them isn't chosen, because things are left open.

I really enjoyed the narration, from people talking, being interviewed by a police officer (but only that person) and chapters with 3rd person about bits of their lives, when they find or interact with parts of Tommy's, whether or not they knew him. And between those, parts of what Tommy had written down in his notebook. It was really different and interesting to read, and making the connections (like Tara's dad in the first chapter, then what was really going on, and then Tara.)

Yeah, this was a strange book, but it was a good book! Really enjoyed it!

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!

Week 38 Review: Devoted in Death

From Goodreads:
Eve Dallas tracks a couple whose passion is fueled by cold brutality in the newest crime thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Obsession in Death and Festive in Death.

When Lieutenant Eve Dallas examines a body in a downtown Manhattan alleyway, the victim's injuries are so extensive that she almost misses the clue. Carved into the skin is the shape of a heart—and initials inside reading E and D . . .

Ella-Loo and her boyfriend, Darryl, had been separated while Darryl was a guest of the state of Oklahoma, and now that his sentence has been served they don't ever intend to part again. Ella-Loo's got dreams. And Darryl believes there are better ways to achieve your dreams than working for them. So they hit the road, and when their car breaks down in Arkansas, they make plans to take someone else's. Then things get messy and they wind up killing someone—an experience that stokes a fierce, wild desire in Ella-Loo. A desire for Darryl. And a desire to kill again.

As they cross state lines on their way to New York to find the life they think they deserve, they will leave a trail of evil behind them. But now they’ve landed in the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Dallas and her team at the New York Police and Security Department. And with her husband, Roarke, at her side, she has every intention of hunting them down and giving them what they truly deserve . . .

My Review:
Yeah, another book in the In Death series! Still going strong! And so enjoyable, seeing these characters again, like Eve with the hat and gloves from Mr. Mira (who's going to be a bigger character next book, yeah!) to the whole gang of characters we've grown to know and love over the course of this series!

We knew who the bad guys were right from the beginning. If you hadn't read the synopsis, well, then this book starts with their story, and it gave us the number of people they'd killed in reaching New York-27. So then having the feds think there was only 20 previous to New York, well, caused some frustrations!

Since they had killed so many before getting to New York, this book focused on a two pronged attack-looking for clues in the earlier cases, and trying to find their location in New York. Because evidence + suspects = them being arrested!

I do wish that the capture had been extended just a little bit, because there was only a few pages of it, more preparation then actual happenings, and I really wanted them taken down, and it was over so quickly, I wanted more!

Favourite line: "Why is S-A-S pronounced S-A-W? It should be Ar-Kansas. Did Kansas object?" I wonder about this, too! It's so weird! Or why isn't spelled Arkansaw? Spelling is weird!

Yeah, another fantastic instalment to this series!
