I. Loved. This. Book. It was so cute and I loved the plot line. On The Fence is fun, adorable, lovable, and uh, I can't even describe it! I went into this to clear my book mourning over Heir of Fire, so naturally I had kind of low standards, how could it live up to Heir of Fire?? But I ended up loving this book anyway. I'm defiantly planning on reading more from Kasie West, because I was  defiantly impressed with this book. I'm going to give On The Fence a 9/10 stars, yeah, it was that good. It's defiantly a good book to read in a mourning period, I highly recommend it. I didn't take enough notes to write a discussion, but I seriously want you to go read this book, like now. 
Here's the synopsis: 
For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Reynolds, aka Charlie, being raised by a single dad and three older brothers has its perks. She can outrun, outscore, and outwit every boy she knows—including her longtime neighbor and honorary fourth brother, Braden. But when it comes to being a girl, Charlie doesn't know the first thing about anything. So when she starts working at chichi boutique to pay off a speeding ticket, she finds herself in a strange new world of makeup, lacy skirts, and BeDazzlers. Even stranger, she's spending time with a boy who has never seen her tear it up in a pickup game.

To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard. She knows what it means to go for the win, but if spilling her secret means losing him for good, the stakes just got too high

The characters in this story are great and I really enjoyed their relationships. As many of you probably know, I've always wanted an older brother, so reading this story was perfect for me. The protective older brothers are one of my favorite things to read about, and write about, haha. The storyline was great and it was so much fun watching Charlie struggle with her feelings. That sounds kinda wrong... Whatever, just go read this book, you won't regret it ;) 

I think I'm in love with this book series. It's so amazing, fascinating and exhilarating. The plot is riveting and the protagonist is perfect. Celeana is everything you could want in a female protagonist- funny, sarcastic, strong etc. Seriously, if you haven't read this series yet, go read it and if you read Throne of Glass and gave up there TRY CROWN OF MIDNIGHT. And... if you somehow didn't like Crown of Midnight, well, I don't think we can be friends... Haha jk but we'll get along great if you love this series too. I read these two book literally in one day. That's how good they are, these books entrap you in their world and you'll never want to leave. I would give The Assassin's Blade a 9.8/10, I loved that book with all my heart, my soul and my mind. The Assassin's Blade is a bind up of five prequel novellas, and it's amazingly perfect. Two words. Sam Cortland. That's all you need to know to want to read that book. My favorite of the novellas would have to have been The Assassin and the Underworld, but we'll get to that later. I'm giving Heir of Fire a 9/10 stars, it was riveting and exciting in everywhere that counts but there were certain aspects of it that I'll admit, annoyed me. Now that I've got that out of the way, let's discuss the books, shall we?

SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE ASSASSIN'S BLADE


Sam Cortland. Sam. Sam. Cortland. Love. Sam. Sam Cortland. I. Love. Sam. Cortland. Sam. Sam Cortland. 
Going into this book, I knew Sam would die. So I tried not to get too attached. I obviously failed. His wit, charm and personality is just impossible to resist. I love Sam so much and it made me so sad when he died. But I have a theory what if Sam actually isn't dead and Arobynn (Assobynn) (How do you spell his name??) or Sam actually faked his death? If Sam did it it would be to protect Celeana from something, and if Assobynn did it it would be to hurt Celeana and probably torture Sam. Sam can't be dead. Right? Right? I don't quite believe this theory, I'll admit, but a girl can dream. Seriously, if Sam actually isn't dead and he comes back in one of the next books, I'll switch to Team Sam and drop Chaol like a hot potato but since he probably won't, I'll stick with Chaol for now. I literally almost cried at Sam's death, my brain was screaming for Celeana to go with him or something because I knew his death was coming up soon. My favorite stories.. hmm. The Assassin and the Underworld, The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, The Assassin and The Desert, The Assassin and the Empire and The Assassin and the Healer. 
I would give the Empire a higher ranking but Sam 'died' so... He's not dead. No stop saying that. He's not dead. He can't be. 
I loved the Underworld, though. Sam and Celeana's relationship in that book was so cute, when Celeana was drowning and he was screaming for help <3 Sam is my favorite boy of this book series so far and he's going to be hard to beat, boys. I've really wanted to know more about Sam ever since reading Throne of Glass but now I can't decide whether I'm happy to have gotten to know him or if I wish I hadn't. Sarah, that novella about the empire was really heartbreaking. Sam isn't dead.... No.  Me? In denial? Why would you think that? 
I really enjoyed the Pirate Lord, you really got to see Celeana before Endovier and it gave you good insight on her relationship with Sam. Sam. Sam. Sam. I love Sam. The Pirate Lord was a lot of fun, and at the end when she's screaming for Sam and he pops up... tehe, I loved that part. The Desert was a pretty fun read too, though when I read Ansel my thoughts immediately jumped to Ansel Elgort. Yeah, definitely not an Ansel of the Elgort category. Were any of you expecting Ansel to do that in the end of that novella? I wasn't, but I'm glad Celeana didn't kill Ansel, that would have left a lasting scar on her. It was so cutely sad how you could tell Celeana really had cared for Ansel, first she couldn't kill her and second, she shot her arrow towards her horse instead of Ansel and gave her 21 minutes instead of 20. 
The healer, I didn't really see the point in that novella and if Yrene doesn't show back up in the next books of this series I'm going to say that novella was pretty pointless. That story didn't have very much action in it and zero romance, so I obviously didn't enjoy it as much as some of the other novellas. 

Me? crying? No, I'm just allergic to SAM CORTLAND'S FREAKING DEATH!

SPOILERS BELOW FOR HEIR OF FIRE
Where do I begin? Why not start off with talking about Manon? I didn't really like her part, to be honest. I think her part should have been a novella or something because she's a completely new character and her plot has yet to intertwine with our main characters. When they mentioned the Wastelands, my thoughts immediately jumped to Ansel, then they briefly mentioned her. The High King was overthrown by someone who called themselves the High Queen, that's obviously Ansel, I hope she pops back into Celeana's story line, even after she kinda betrayed her. 
I liked Abraxos, he was funny, but Manon just annoyed the heck out of me. I quite honestly couldn't wait for her parts to be over when I was reading this book. 
My favorite of the three 'parts' of this book would have to be what was going on at the castle. Hearing about Chaol and Aedion... Let's talk about Aedion, shall we? I didn't know what to think of him at first. He was introduced as a douche, a tool and a whore that was betraying his own people using the royal sword. But then you go to that part where Aedion captures Chaol and he yells "Aelin is alive!" and then we see Aedion's POV and by the Angel I felt like crying for Aedion then. Adarlan's Whore. He never minded that title, until now. That's not the exact wording but whatever. It's still heartbreaking. Aedion is defiantly my second favorite male character, I love how loyal he is to Aelin and how much he loved her. I can't even describe how much I wanted to see Aelin/Celeana and Aedion's reunion in this book. I swear if they never see each other again I probably will cry. It was horrible how much Aedion hated himself, I felt so bad for him! All he wanted was to see Aelin take back her throne, his loyalty, gods, that was astonishing. If they don't save Aedion in the next book..... That line "He didn't mind dying. But he would've liked to see Aelin again." Or something like that, I just... can't even... Then when someone said like there is no throne he said "Then I'll build her a new one out of her enemy's bones." His loyalty is defiantly his most defining characteristic and I apologize for how many times I've said loyal in the last paragraph, but that's just the first word that comes to my head when thinking of Aedion. I love him. Sarah, seriously, you already took Sam from me, don't take away Aedion too! 
Want to talk Dorian? Let's talk Dorian. Dorian was annoying me in this book, I won't lie. I get that he was hurt by Chaol not telling him about Aelin but it was for his own safety. Then he got together with Sorscha. No. I wanted that ship to sink deep down in the bottom of the sea. Sure, I may not ship Dorian with Celeana, (Though I'm thinking it's possible he might end up with her) but that Sorscha thing. NO. That was my first thought when it said she was in love with him. NO. I did not like that romance at all, and I'll admit that I was happy that she died. Dorian redeemed himself though, when he saved Chaol's life, because in the end, I think that those two will still be friends. I love how touched Dorian was by Chaol calling him his king and that he was exposing himself to save his friend's life. But then he got that mf-ing collar on him. Someone better get that thing the hell off him in the next book or I'll flip my shit. But  I'll flip more if Aedion dies. 
Haha there was someone named Murtagh (Uh Eragon fans? Anyone?) Murtagh was my favorite character in Eragon so... I do like my broken boys, lol. 
Now to the part you'r all probably waiting for me to talk about, Celeana. Everyone is fawning over Rowan. I'm not crazy about him, but I like his character. What I do not like is shipping him with Celeana. It's Sam or Chaol or MAYBE Aedion. Not Rowan. They have a strong friendship, which, Katytastic compared to parabatai, which I can see, but I could also see them toeing the friendship line a little. No. When Celeana was asking about how she could hurt Chaol if he was truly her mate, it was when I realized that she probably won't choose him, especially after Chaol realized him self that Celeana would  always choose him, but Aelin couldn't. Ugh, my ship in sinking. Sam, come back to me. 
I didn't particularly like how the main characters were so spread out in this book, even Dorian and Chaol were kind of spread apart in this book, and they were in the same castle. I definitely enjoyed it a lot more when they were together, though, when they were apart they each got a lot of character growth, which I enjoyed. 
So I'm finally caught up on the series and I'll be reading the next book along with you guys! and I seriously cannot wait for it. See you guys next time. xoxo. 

I loved this book! It was so much better than Throne of Glass! If you didn't like Throne of Glass, seriously, try the next book, it's so much better than the first book! 9/10 stars, yeah, that's how much I loved this book. It was exciting, with plot twists around pretty much every corner, the romance was spot on and Ah! I loved everything! The characters were fun and lovable and the action scenes were riveting. I seriously recommend this series to you. So.... That means you should go read it... now, if you haven't. But I think I'm like the last person to have not read it so thats probably not a problem. I seriously cannot wait to read The Assassins blade, which is a novella bind up and then The Heir of Fire! Those are going to be my next book reviews, I can promise. If you actually haven't read this series, go read my Throne of Glass review :) I don't wanna spoil you! 
SPOILERS FOR CROWN OF MIDNIGHT BELOW
The ChaolxCeleana in this book melted my heart. I loved it. In fact, most of my notes were just about the moments between the two of them. The action scenes were great, though. Unfortunately I knew that Nehemia would die, I read the summery for Heir of Fire, you see. Okay, never read the synopsis for the next books if you don't want to be spoiled. 
What did you guys think of Archer? He kind of reminded me of Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games at first. You know, since he slept around because he had to and all. But then he quickly moved far, far, far away from Finnick. He was an arse. Like how he had Nehemia assassinated? Uh, no, you can't do that. Even though they kind of hinted that maybe Nehemia pushed him to do it, still NO! I kind of liked Archer at first, but yeah, obviously didn't like him by the end. 
"I'll go with you." ahsva shkjnc
"Go," he snarled at Dorion before launching himself at the creature. 
That line, though. It was so powerfully awesome. I loved it. I still haven't changed my mind fromm the last book- still solidly Team Chaol but I do like Dorion, he's just not as good as Chaol who kind of reminds me of Tobias but I like him even better! (No offense Divergent fans! I love Divergent too but Allegiant just... well....) 
Celeana being Fae, did any of you guys see that coming? Huge plot twist there. And then you find out she's the lost queen and my brain just exploded. CANNOT wait to read Heir of Fire, but since I'm trying to pace myself, I'm going to read The Assassins Blade first. I do want to hear more about Sam, he sounds like a great guy, even though he's dead, if Celeana loved him that much he has to have been a pretty amazing guy. 
Back to Archer, that guy was insane, how could he think that murdering Celeana's best friend and working with her lost loves murderer/torturer would get her to want to be on his 'team'? Seriously demented. 
I'll apologize again for the short reviews lately and thank you guys for sticking with me- it's not just because I have like no free time these days, it's that I haven't been taking many notes! But I feel like a short review is better than no review so... See you guys next time. 
xoxo 

Great book. I can't wait for Miss Mayhem, coming out this spring. This book was a very fun read and I highly recommend it to you all. I would give Rebel Belle a 7.8/10 stars, the beginning was pretty normal and cliche but about halfway through the book really kicked off and became really interesting. I enjoyed the characters and the character development, the action scenes were fun and the relationships seemed realistic. 
The protagonist of this book is Harper Price, she's that popular girl, Queen Bee, head of everything, miss perfect. She, like every cliche popular girl, has an arch nemesis who's kind of a nerd- David Stark. On homecoming night, something..unexpected happens. She's gifted with the supernatural powers of a paladin, a supernatural warrior made to protect. And guess who she has to protect? David Stark. Harper's world is turned upside-down in less than a month, will she be able to handle her new duties? 
Yeah, I really don't know how to summarize this book without spoilers! 
Here's the real summery:
Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him—and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.
As I said before, I highly recommend you guys read this book, I finished it in practically one sitting. Sorry it's such a short review- I hardly took notes- most of my notes were about Ryan to be honest. He's Harper's boyfriend, and he's actually a pretty great guy and the part at the end- wow was not expecting that.
(My review on Crown of Midnight should be up soon and it'll be longer! I swear!)

This book was pretty good. Not my favorite Sci-Fi novel, but enjoyable. I would give this book a 6.6/10 stars, it started catching up at the end and I'm buying the next book. Seriously though, why can't I get the next book in the pretty cover it used to have that matched the first one? Instead I have to buy it in the ugly font version. I enjoyed the characterization in the book but the plot wasn't gripping. Amy and Elder make a cute couple, though, Elder is more of a good guy over a bad boy. (And we all know how much I like my bad boys) You could tell immediately that there was something wrong with the ship, how everyone looked alike and how they all acted like they were drugged. The ending though, I was not expecting. 
I read this book in one sitting, which tells you it was pretty good. I recommend this book to you if you have some free time for a lighter read or if you love sci-fi novels. 
Across the Universe starts off when Amy and her family get frozen in some extraordinary technology to be woken up in 300 years. For some unknown reason, Amy is woken up 50 years early. She then meets Elder, the next leader of Godspeed the space ship the two are on. But there's a problem, someone unplugged Amy, and is unplugging the other frozen people. Amy must find out who is killing the people before her parents are next. 

Synopsis: 
A love out of time. A spaceship built of secrets and murder. 

Seventeen-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed and expects to awaken on a new planet, three hundred years in the future. Never could she have known that her frozen slumber would come to an end fifty years too soon and that she would be thrust into the brave new world of a spaceship that lives by its own rules.

Amy quickly realizes that her awakening was no mere computer malfunction. Someone - one of the few thousand inhabitants of the spaceship - tried to kill her. And if Amy doesn't do something soon, her parents will be next.

Now Amy must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets. But out of her list of murder suspects, there's only one who matters: Elder, the future leader of the ship and the love she could never have seen coming

SPOILERS FOR ACROSS THE UNIVERSE BELOW


Getting frozen sounds painful, don't you think? I'd hate for that to happen to me. 
Eldest sounded like an arse, I decided that from the beginning, hearing about him, and my idea about it got stronger and stronger going into the book. 
My three theories for who was unplugging the frozen people were this Eldest, Harley or him the 'dead' Elder. People often aren't dead in books when, from the beginning, they say they are dead. 
The people on that ship were extremely messed up. First off the Season was disgusting and gross. Second they were all brainwashed and it was really annoying. 
It was all very Insurgent Amity Serum when Amy got infected with that happy stuff. Really annoying and not as entertaining. 
I was practically celebrating when Eldest was killed, you have no idea how much joy and happiness that gave me. 
I guessed that Elder let Amy out when Orion was talking to him, but it was surprising to me. Then he actually told her, kudos to you, Elder, for honesty. 

Apologies ahead of time for this being one of the shortest reviews I've ever written. I don't have any notes. I'm giving this book a 5/10 stars, like I heard, it takes a really long time to get into and I didn't get into it enough to actually really enjoy it. I don't think I'm going to continue this book series. It got better at the end, big plot twist and all, but I just have no attachment to the characters, the books are really expensive, I have other books I want to read, and I just didn't really enjoy reading this book. No offense to any of you who love this series, I really tried to like it but I just couldn't get into it. 
Now you may be thinking, you didn't like other books at first but you kept reading them anyway. So, why not keep reading this one? 
To start off, it's not summer vacation anymore and I have a lot less free time. Add in the field hockey and homework and I hardly have anytime for reading, so I'd prefer to read some really good books in my spare time. Then when you add how much more expensive this series is from other books and that I didn't particularly like any of the characters, I just don't feel like spending $50 on the next two books. Sorry. If you want to send me the next book, feel free to contact me about it, but I just don't feel like continuing this series right now. Maybe sometime when my TBR list is a lot smaller (As if that's going to happen) I'll continue the series, or if you guys really want me to continue it. 
Here's the synopsis: 
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
I thought Karou was the daughter of the devil and an angel but yeah, no. Anyway, I don't have a lot to say about this book, sorry if I offended you! 
I just finished Across the Universe so the review about it will be up sometime tomorrow ;) 

Remember how I said I was going to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone next? Well, obviously I lied. I got 7 pages into Daughter of Smoke and Bone and then realizing that the Infinite Sea was coming in the mail the next day, I stopped. I've heard so many positive and negative reviews on Daughter of Smoke and Bone I'm not really sure what to think of it. If any of you have been keeping up with my blog for a while now, like since May, then you'll know that I was not impressed by the 5th Wave, it was hard to get into and I only slightly got into it towards the end. This book was completely different. It didn't have to introduce the world and it could just throw you right into the action, I loved it. This is going to be a spoiler free review, actually I might leave a few spoilery comments at the end, under a warning, but there's not going to be a whole part spoiling the book, for the most part this is going to be spoiler free. If you haven't read The 5th Wave then it will be spoilery, but I highly recommend you read the 5th Wave, even though it was boring, just to get to this book, it's amazing. So if you haven't read The 5th Wave, go do that so you can read this book then go read my 5th Wave review THEN come back here. Byeeee. Back to this book, it was a lot of fun to read. My favorite Point of View was Evan's. Really, I only read this book for Evan anyway. In my last review I wasn't attached to the characters at all, but now I really care if Evan or Cassie die. Especially Evan. I'm sorry if you think it was a spoiler that Evan lived, I thought it was kinda obvious that he lived, but sorry if you didn't! This book was just so short, only three hundred pages, it didn't really give you enough time to get to know the characters any more than you already did, it just gave you time to watch fight after fight after fight. Like I said in my review of the 5th Wave I definitely like Evan better than Ben, I think Ben would be better with Ringer or someone else. He seemed a little irritable in this book, which is understandable. 
Evan and Cassie's relationship is so cute in this series, their chemistry is spot on. I love that he took out all those people while she was going inside to save her brother just to save her life. Is this series supposed to be a Trilogy? I don't know, if you do, you should tell me in the comments or in contact or somewhere! I think I might go back and reread a bit of the 5th Wave now before reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone just because I like the characters more. Rick put some other characters' point of views in this book, like Poundcake's and Ringer's. I didn't especially like that because I wasn't attached to either of them as much as Cassie, Evan or even Ben. It especially annoyed me how much of Ringer's point of view we get at the end of the book, like almost one hundred pages out of a three hundred paged book. I want more Evan! Haha. 
I'm giving this book an 8/10 stars even though Ringer and Poundcake's point of views annoyed me kinda I loved the action and hearing about the characters and stuff. The ending was adorably annoying, adorable, sure, but annoying because I have to wait like another year for the next book. The movie for the 5th Wave comes out January 26, 2016. It's a long wait, guys. The guy they picked for Evan looks a little old, honestly, but I think the movie will be great. They better do it right because if they make the movie right because this series could be the next big thing. Oh, the guy they picked for Ben is Rider from Melissa and Joey, this is gonna be weird. 
Back to the book, I really liked the realistic relationships between the characters, because obviously Cassie's not gonna get along with all of them immediately and it makes sense that she and Ringer don't rub well together. We don't get to see as much of Cassie's bad assery in this book but we still get to see a little. You should go read this book. 

A FEW SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE INFINITE SEA


When we got Evan's POV I was off the charts happy. Then we met Grace and ugh, she's annoying isn't she? The ending of this book, let's talk that, shall we? YES Evan isn't dead, I didn't think he was, Rick probably won't kill him off OR he'll kill him in one of the last books for impact on Cassie. I loved the "Then I'll come to you." It was so cute. I felt so bad about how badly Evan was injured throughout this book, but he was able to survive, which is the point, I guess. 
Then there's Cassie who's kinda caught in her feelings toward Evan, not sure whether he's really dead or alive, when he is alive not sure whether she actually really likes him or not. 
I really actually kinda enjoyed the part where Evan was shot and under the car. not because he was shot, but because he was comparing it to the same situation Cassie had been in in the last book. Then Cassie's comment "You shot me in the leg, I shot you in the leg, we're even." Haha. He better live, Rick. If you're reading this Evan better live, and I really want Cassie to end up choosing him, which I think she will but if she doesn't I at least want him to live okay? Okay. 

Yay, I actually got around to reading this book. I was avoiding it for two reasons, 1. my friend told me she didn't like it 2. I heard the characters were really flat. Not true, the characters are well rounded and very intriguing. Throne of Glass is an 8/10 stars, it was a very impressive book and I just had to put it on my favorites shelf (I had to rearrange two other shelves to get it there!) I seriously cannot wait to buy the other three books out, though one of them is a novella bind up. The names are a little weird but you can get past them, I did. 
This story is told mainly from the view of the country's most feared assassin, Celaena Sardothien. She's been captured and in slavery for the last year of her life so when she's offered an out, she takes it. Her 'out' is to compete in a competition to find the king's champion. She must compete against other criminals and win, otherwise she will be sent back to slavery. One problem, the others are being brutally killed off. Why? And who is the culprit? Celeana must find out before she's next. 

Synopsis: 
In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. 

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass--and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

Go read this book then we can compare ;) 

SPOILERS FOR THRONE OF GLASS BELOW


I have very few notes on this book but here are my thoughts, 
First off, how does she not like fish? What is this? 
As much as I like Dorian, I think I want Chaol to end up with Celeana, the moments they had together just touched me so much. When he gave her that ring I literally spasmed out so much I hurt my calf muscle by stretching it wrong! Yes, reading is a dangerous sport, lol. 
I had three suspects for who was killing people off the king, the princess, or the duke and Cain. I was 75% right. Since this book takes place over a long extensive time period, things seemed close to me, but I often forgot it was weeks and months. So I guess it makes sense that Celeana forgot about Cain cleaning up those runes, but I remembered. Also the thing about Pelor's poison comment was forgotten by me, as soon as I heard poison test my mind immediately jerked to him. 
Finally! A female protagonist who gets her period!
I loved how Dorian decided to read that romance book just because Chaol wouldn't. 
I really liked Nox is he ever going to show back up again? I hope so, he was too good of a character to just toss away. 
When Chaol offered his sword to Celeana adelriorijogi I would've squeaked so loudly if not for me being sick and having the worst sore throat and cough ever. 
"Shut your mouth" sounded ridiculous, why didn't Celeana just say Shut up? 
Sorry, I didn't take many notes, but I'll be back soon with a hopefully longer review on Daughter of Smoke and Bone

Impressive book. Sorry the review is late, I just couldn't get into this book until about page 233. IT takes a while but then the story and plot sucks you in and then it's over. This book definably could be a little longer, but maybe if the beginning was a little more interesting I would've finished it sooner. That was a lie I probably wouldn't have because of everything going on. I started field hockey this week so I'm going to be twice as busy as I already am! Joy. I'll still try to read as much as I can and write reviews, don't worry. This book earned a 7/10 stars on my rating scale, not too surprising, because it's by Cassie, my favorite author ever. But it's co-written so you can't see her voice as much, not that I don't like it it's just not totally Cassie. I really do need to get around to reading a Holly Black book, though, isn't The Coldest Girl in Cold Town by her? I might try that one out. Someday.... 
For all of you that are complaining that this book is too much like Harry Potter. First of all if you're going to say that all of Cassie's books are rip offs of Harry Potter you can leave now. I can see the similarities between both The Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter and the Iron Trial but seriously, every author takes a little bit of ideas from other authors, it's how life works, and if you're just going to say that Cassie is ripping off J.K. Rowling then you can..... I wrote something but I took it off. Anyway just shut up and keep it to yourself, okay? I don't want to hear it. Cassie is a great respectable writer and if you think just because there are a few similarities between her books and the Harry Potter series that she's 'plagiarizing' it, seriously just shut up. First off, if it was plagiarism then she wouldn't have been able to get the books published and second, there are a few similarities, they're not EXACTLY the same then third Holly wrote this book too. I really hate it when people accuse my favorite authors of plagiarism, it just irks me, so sorry. 
I also wasn't sure whether or not I'd like this book because 1. it's co-written and I usually don't like co-written books with authors that I've liked their books that they wrote (did that make any sense?) 2. It's middle school age, I'm really into YA right now so this book did seem a little young to me. 
This story follows this boy name Callum Hunt. He's a mage, well, kind of. His father hates the mages and everything they stand for, so when Callum is called in to take a test to see whether he can go into the mages, he fails at what he was supposed to do, which was failing. Now Callum is stuck doing exactly what his father warned him against his entire life and when he starts getting wrapped up in the mysteries of the Magisterium, what will happen? 
Here's the official synopsis: 

From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling authors Holly Black and Cassandra Clare comes a riveting new series that defies what you think you know about the world of magic.

From two bestselling superstars, a dazzling and magical middle-grade collaboration centering on the students of the Magisterium, an academy for those with a propensity toward magic. In this first book, a new student comes to the Magisterium against his will -- is it because he is destined to be a powerful magician, or is the truth more twisted than that? It's a journey that will thrill you, surprise you, and make you wonder about the clear-cut distinction usually made between good and evil

Anyway once you read this book come back and we can discuss ;) 

SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE IRON TRIAL


The prologue was really depressing, don't you think? And kind of confusing, but it makes more sense as you get farther into the book, so that was okay. 
I didn't believe Drew when he said he was just scared of his Master, because of that thing he said to Call when he was talking to him. So I guess Call is the one who's already dead, and who will die? Aaron or Tamara? And what will the third fail at???
Did anyone else think that the chaos ridden sounded a lot like the Forsaken?? (TMI or TID fans???) Comment below if you did or just you know, think to yourself about it. 
I felt so bad for Aaron when he said he had no family to return to, that just made me like him ten times more than I already did- because I did like Tamar and Aaron before, though, honestly Call kinda annoyed me. And it wasn't even the fact that his name was Call. 
I felt a lot of deja vu at the part where Tamara was climbing the rafters, was that in an excerpt Cassie posted? I don't remember. 
I did have several Harry Potter flashbacks while reading this book, especially when Constant or whatever his name is was living inside Callum. That was a huge monumental plot twist. Did any of you expect that? Because I didn't. 
Sorry for the short reviews recently! I just didn't have too many notes. Friend me on goodreads to keep up with what I'm reading ;). 

These are the last two books in the Immortal City Trilogy. If you want to see what this Trilogy is about, scroll down a few reviews and look for Immortal City by Scott Spear. ;) It's a really good book series so I highly recommend it to you. All in all I would give this whole series a 7/10 stars, while individually I gave Immortal City a 7.8/10, Natural Born Angel 7/10 and Battle Angel 7.9/10. This series was a lot of fun to read but Immortal City took a little to get into, Natural Born Angel I found myself getting annoyed at the protagonists a lot and the beginning of Battle Angel was annoying AF. And then the end of Battle Angel, it was reasonable, but seriously Scott? That was a horrible ending! You can't just do that to your fans! I was trying to get myself to cry there, it didn't work though. Also, why couldn't I find Battle Angel in hardcover? f you know please comment because for some reason Battle Angel was only selling in paperback so I have the first two books in hardcover and the last one in paperback. It's troublesome. 
This was a really fun series, not my favorite angel/nephilim/demon book series I've ever read (*cough
* Shadowhunter Chronicles) but very enjoyable and short. I was able to get through both Natural Born Angel and Battle Angel today, after getting my new shipment of books in yesterday. Well, most of them, I do believe I'm still missing 
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
and 
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Right now what I have left to read is
Rebel Belle 
Across the Universe
Percy Jackson's Greek Gods (DOESN'T FIT ON MY BOOKSHELF IT'S SO BIG)
On The Fence
and tomorrow I'm starting The Iron Trial, which I'm really excited to read since it's partially by Cassie! If it's bad, I'm going to blame it on Holly because I haven't read any of her books lol, jk. 
These are some of the books I think I might buy in my next haul (not including the sequels to some of the books I got if I like them)
Under the Never Sky
The Selection (I hear America is annoying AF?)
The Infinite Sea
Better Off Friends

(Look at my Goodreads TBR)

Okay let's get back to the Immortal City books so I can go to bed shall we?

SPOILERS TO NATURAL BORN ANGEL


Let's start off with Tom freaking arse pissed me off. Like really. I find it embarrassing and irritating that we share the same last name. Like Scott you could have picked anything for Tom but you choose my last name when, when I would read this series I would so clearly be Team Jackson? I mean Jackson has blue eyes and dark hair, how could I not be all for him? If you're going to make a love triangle introduce both points in the first book, well, if it's a trilogy, otherwise you don't have enough time to get attached to the other point. Actually, I don't want more time with Tom anyway, whatever. Tom was a nice guy, don't get me wrong, he just annoyed the heck out of me because he was trying to move in on Maddy. It was okay for Cassie's love triangles/whatever in The Mortal Instruments because she has six books and they're all super long so you get time to adjust to the characters, but if it's a trilogy, it's just not enough time to get to know the second point if you introduce them in the second book. Adrian Ivashkov, if you were in Vampire Academy you'd make that book ten times better and I liked that book how it was. 
Ugh, as I said before this book was just annoying. Maddy was getting caught up in the life of fame and poor Jackson was feeling totally left back in the dust, especially because of his broken wing. When they were having that passionate make out session and Maddy picked up her phone I just wanted to scream at her. 
"A pain shot through her back" She's like wondering what's happening. What do you think is happening, idiot? Your wings are growing. 
I found myself wanted a lot more of Jackson in this book because we don't see him as much as we do in Immortal City, I also wanted more Jackson and Maddy in this book, it would have made it a lot better. 
When Tom kissed Maddy, I got so mad at him. She's obviously taken, and I don't have any respect for him if he's going to move in on somebody else's girl. 
"It was different because I loved you."  :( That line just... my heart broke for Jackson even if he had been acting a little like an arse lately too. 
Sorry I don't have a lot of notes on this book..

SPOILERS TO BATTLE ANGEL BELOW


Ugh when I read that she chose Tom. I slammed the book. Which was a shame because since it's a wimpy paperback it didn't take it as well as a hardcover would. How could she choose Tom after all she'd been through with Jackson? The thing between Maddy and Tom was definitely instalove. Remember when I said it was okay that Jackson and Maddy had a kind of instalove because it was believable and they went through a traumatic situation together? Well Tom and Maddy's just wasn't really that believable. I feel like they should have had more time, at least introduced Tommy boy in the first book! Their instalove just bothered me so much in this book, they just didn't have enough time and explanation for their 'love'. 

Then Maddy after saying she chose Tom, said in front of Jackson, that she loved Tom THEN dumped Jackson. I was so pissed at Maddy at that moment. I wanted to hit her really badly, like you don't even understand. My heart really broke for Jackson then. I just wanted to murder Maddy for doing that to Jackson, she could have at least found a more diplomatic way of breaking it off with him, I mean if she has all those honors classes she can't be that dumb. 
I guessed very early on that Gabriel was controlling the demons (Sound familiar Lux fans?) So when we found out that he was controlling the demons, as you may have guessed I was less than surprised. 
When Jackson came with his little band of merry angels to save the humans even after how Maddy broke it off with him aiowfhdssdfjifvcd he's just such a great guy, unfortunately we can't all get our dream hot boy. (Daeeeeemon, Jacey boy, I will find you (She says creepily) lol jk) 
Another thing that pissed me off more than it should have? Tom getting his own Point of view in this book. That was not okay. I just did not like Tom. Not at all. I liked him as Tom, KINDA, but I didn't like him as Jackson's competition. 
By the Angel (Literally) Jackson saying goodbye to Maddy because he thought he was going to die. That was just so emotional for me and them. That proves he's a good guy, because he was still willing to forgive her after everything that happened, and he saved Tom. Good. Guy. If you're against that idea..... why???? Whats wrong with you??? Just kidding.... kinda. 
Tom's death was really quick and kind of unbelievable, I guess that's kinda how death works in real life though, because Maddy was really impacted by it after. 
Jackson and Maddy's brief 'back together' bit was so cute, I really wish they had more time together though. I see how it's fitting that they go back to heaven, but I wish Jackson would have been able to stay on earth with Maddy. Like physically. That ending was upsetting for me. How she saw him in the pictures and he was always 'with' her? I just didn't like that. It just made me feel kind of empty. I want to see a story about when she dies that Jackson leads her to heaven and she's rewarded for being so helpful and good in her life then she and Jackson get their happily ever after without Tommy boy interrupting. Yeah, I wanna see that. 
Sorry for the short reviews, I'm really tired, I stayed late last night blah blah blah but I felt like I should get these reviews up so I can spend tomorrow doing homework, reading The Iron Trial, making chocolate mousse, a double batch of my signature cookies, and a triple batch of muffins. Busy day tomorrow, huh? Ugh, I forgot to bring my lit book home so I'm gonna have to do it Monday night even though it's due Tuesday....
