{Review} Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep


                      

 
                                                                    
Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy, #1)   My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody's head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest. But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I'm determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why; especially since I should have been the one who died...

{Review} My fair godmother

My Fair Godmother (My Fair Godmother, #1)Finding your one true love can be a Grimm experience!

After her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she’s only Fair—because she’s not a very good fairy student—Chrissy mistakenly sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White. Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight. Laughs abound in this clever fairy tale twist from a master of romantic comedy.

{Review} Where she went by Gayle Forman

                         
Where She Went (If I Stay, #2)
 

        It's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.

Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Julliard’s rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future-and each other
.

Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

 

First of all, I just want to say that after finishing this book I started jumping up and down. Omg!!!!! I could go on and on about this book it was that good!!! It’s a beautiful sequel to If I Stay. Especially the ending i loved this series i almost cried but I resisted, hell I shouldn’t have but anyway Its very easy to fall in love with this book. The characters, oh wow what can I say I loved Adam he was so strong and caring and just wonderful. Mia wow, she was also very strong and she made her dreams come true even though I knew it all along. I was very sad about Mia’s parents and Teddy I really thought that Teddy was going to be okay but oh well. If I would recommend this book I would say to anyone!! Because it is that good!!

Beautiful a collage masterpiece


{Review} If I Stay by Gayle Forman

 

                                           {Review} If I stay by Gayle Forman











 
 
 
 
 

 
Firstly, I'd like to start out by this quote “Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.”
― Gayle Forman, If I Stay

 

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck... A sophisticated, layered, and heart-achingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make, and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

 

Mia has a pretty nice life. She has an understanding family, a dad who has transformed from a rock out punk to a businessman, a mom who is steady as a rock, and a younger brother who is as cute as a button. She has an awesome boyfriend that is part of a breakout band, the Shooting Stars. She also has a best friend named Kim, who understands her in a way no one else does. Then, one day she goes out for a drive with her family on a snowy day. Their car swerves out of control and hits another truck... and while Mia has had to make some choices in the past, is she ready to confront the most difficult of them all?
 
 
 
 
     I just burst into tears in this book I feel that I just connected with this book so much it definitely leaves you breathless This book was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Gayle Forman is a very talented author. She masterfully incorporated music as a large part of the book, which was absolutely perfect making it have somewhat of a lyrical quality. The characters were all well-developed and real. The plots... wow. Everything was just so well organized and extraordinarily written... if I had to recommend one romance/drama for YA readers; it would probably be this novel."  "Both brutal and beautiful this thought provoking story will stay with readers long after the last page is turned." school Library journal, starred review

{Review} The last song by Nicholas Sparks

   Review From The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”
''Seventeen year-old Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father… until her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts… and heal them".
             Wow when I finished this book I think I burst out crying  its just such a beautiful book. The ending was just WOW when I saw the movie I loved it. So when I saw the book I was like I have to read this book. I loved ronnie's personallity I guess I see what she went through when her parents got divorced. Oh will wow I also loved his personallity I loved how  because of him Ronnie was able to get back to playing the piano. Was there anything I did'nt like Nope to me this book was PERFECT. I would recommend this book to anyone who liked any books that Nicholas Sparks wrote,to people who liked the movie, and mostly to people who have a heart that needs to be healed.

{Review} Anna and the french kiss by Stephanie Perkins


Anna and the French Kiss
Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place?” ~Anna from Anna and the french kiss

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris–until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all…including a serious girlfriend.
But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

This book is one of the cutest books I’ve ever read. And I’m not using the word “cute” because it’s a good story but not good enough to get a 5-star review. Because IT IS! It’s one of those books that are easy to read because the characters (not just the main characters) contribute to the enjoyable reading experience and the overall flow of the story is great.
I highly recommend Anna and the French Kiss. It’s the kind of book that’s so engaging that it will keep you reading continuously and will make you sad for finishing it so fast. This book is definetly 5 stars!!!
Come to think of it… I might read it again sometime. I seriously miss Etienne.Tee.hee.
