 The year was 2014. We had cured cancer. We had beaten the common cold. But in doing so we created something new, something terrible that no one could stop. 

The infection spread, virus blocks taking over bodies and minds with one, unstoppable command: FEED. Now, twenty years after the Rising, bloggers Georgia and Shaun Mason are on the trail of the biggest story of their lives—the dark conspiracy behind the infected. 

The truth will get out, even if it kills them.

So the one thing that I didn't expect from this book was that it got political. I mean these characters are following someone they believe who will be the next future president and blogging about it. If I had known that getting into this book I wouldn't have picked up this book. Now that I'm deep into this book I just can't put it down.

Owl Crate & Everland Review

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you lovely readers about a great bookish subscription service called OwlCrate. For those of you who have not heard of this service, its $29.99 + S&H. Thing is is you use this special code NEWMEMBER you'll be able to knock off a bit of cash. Every month there is a different theme in each box you can expect:
  • Hardcover book 
  • 3-5 quality bookish items.

This months OwlCrate theme is Steam Punk and out of the 3 months of using this service I have to tell you that this box is my favorite and I had use for each and every item in this box. As for the book, it was called Everland by Wendy Spinale. So here's what I got:

I wish I got a better shot of that ring but its really cute, it based of The Infernal Devices. It was designed by Sparks Emporium.

Then there's the Skeleton Key by Crystal Compass Designs. Soon as I saw that necklace I put it on straight away. It has a long chain and its super cute and I loved it.

The other key item, is from Elope. It's labeled Metal Accessories, its a broach or pin. I'm thinking I might put it on a hairclip because I don't use pins much but I'm in love with that key and it needs to be used and shown off. The details are incredible.

Some other items that came in the box was the steamp punk inspired nails wraps. I don't use them often and find them pricey in general and was glad to have gotten them in this box. Also there is like 2 weeks worth of nail wraps, so basically when I instantly ruin on while putting on or so I can go for the back ups which is handy. Also there is a link to how to put them on so that's helpful.

Temporary Flash Tattoos based off the book was also included in the box in the shapes of Cogs, Wings and such. So cute.

The last bookish item recieved was the Art Print by Creative Daffodil Studios as a tribute to J.M. Barrie. Its a Peter Pan inspired print.

Continue reading to see the review to this fantastic book I received in this book.

Published May 10th 2016 by Scholastic Press
London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived are children, among them Gwen Darling and her siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the ruthless Marauders -- the German army led by Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer.


Unsure if the virus has spread past England's borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook hunts for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the survivors. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Until the day they grab Joanna. As Gwen sets out to save her, she meets a daredevil boy named Pete. Pete offers the assistance of his gang of Lost Boys and the fierce sharpshooter Bella, who have all been living in a city hidden underground. But in a place where help has a steep price and every promise is bound by blood, it will cost Gwen. And are she, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart Captain Hook?
Last night I refused to go to sleep until I had finished this book. It was that good.

I loved this book it was so imaginative, fun, and enjoyable. I loved when I can come across retelling, even better if its steampunk another genre I don't really come across. When I do I'm never disappointed. I loved this book. There is so much to love, the characters, the fact that you'll get different point of views from multiple characters including Hook. I thought this was a really great reimagining of a classic. There was plenty of action going on from the very start to draw the readers in. I want write more about this book on why I loved it to much but you should see for your self. Bump it to the top of your TBR list you'll be happy you did.

Review : Menagerie

Menagerie by Rachel Vincent

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult, Paranormal, Mythology, Adult, Dystopia, Science Fiction, New Adult,
Goodreads: Click
Pages: 432
Purchase Link : Amazon
Expected publication: September 29th 2015 by MIRA

Synopsis:

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a richly imagined, provocative new series set in the dark mythology of the Menagerie… 

When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger's Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah in her black swan burlesque costume is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she's forced to "perform" in town after town. 

But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other "attractions"—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she'll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed. 

Renowned author Rachel Vincent weaves an intoxicating blend of carnival magic and startling humanity in this intricately woven and powerful tale.

My Thoughts:

Going to the Menagerie on her birthday wasn't Delilahs idea of a good time but her boyfriend got her the tickets and her friends were ready to go. Little did she realize that there was more to her then she thought. When she was exposed by her inner beast coming to after witnessing a young wolf girl getting abused by her handlers. From then on things went south when she unknowingly revealed the beast inside her causing her to go from attendee to a sideshow attraction.

So I have to admit this is not at all the type of book that I would normally read. Just knowing that Rachel Vincent wrote this book was enough to spark my curiosity. Plus before I requested to get an ARC of this book through netgalley, I had noticed an advertisement for this book and was excited when I came across this book.

This was a great book, this book had me hooked from the very start that I just couldn't down. When I did put it down wasn't by choice unfortunately life gets in the way and I have to get things done. I loved there was so many different point of views going on which at first caused confusion for me but as they story went on I was able to figure out the different characters and get what was going on. I loved how caring Delilah towards other whether they are human or not. I would love to describe more about how much I loved this book but there is just so much and it would be hard to say without spoiling this book. Trust me this is a fantastic book and you going to want get your hands on this unique and interesting book.

Now for the unfortunate part of getting this book early, the long wait for the next book to come around. Ugh! #bookreaderproblems

Review: Lumière

Lumière by Jacqueline Garlick 

(The Illumination Paradox #1)
Publication date
: December 12th 2013
Genres: Steampunk, Young Adult
Goodreads: Click
Purchase: Amazon | B&N

Synopsis:

Even in a land of eternal twilight, secrets can’t stay hidden forever.

Seventeen-year-old Eyelet Elsworth is no stranger to living in the dark. She’s hidden her secret affliction all of her life—a life that would be in danger if superstitious townspeople ever guessed the truth. After her mother is accused and executed for a crime that she didn’t commit, the now-orphaned Eyelet has no choice but to track down the machine—her last hope for a cure. But Eyelet’s late father’s most prized invention, the Illuminator, has been missing since the day of the mysterious flash—a day that saw the sun wiped out over Brethren forever.

Alone and on the run, she finds the Illuminator—only to witness a young man hauling it away. Determined to follow the thief and recover the machine, she ventures into the deepest, darkest, most dangerous part of her twisted world.

Review:

This was one of those books where I had no clue what the book was about but just went off the cover of the book. Based off the cover it was easy to make assumptions on how the book like being a book based on the past which normally I don't lean towards reading. I just thought that the cover was pretty and eye catching that I knew I had to see what this book was about.

On the to the content. Now that was no way to end the book. There is so much to love about the book, so much going on that there was never a dull moment.The one thing that I didn't like about the book was Eyelets character, she was rather annoying, nosy, and immature for the first half of the book and became bearable later on. Over time through the book I found myself hooked wanting to know what would happen next. Overall it was a pretty great book and I look forwards to seeing more in the next book.

Author Bio:

I'm Jacqueline Garlick, author of young adult and new adult fiction. I love strong heroines, despise whiny sidekicks, and adore a good story about a triumphant underdog. (Don't you?)
I love to read, write, paint (walls and paper). I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate, grammar, and technology and would rather hang out with a dog, than a cat. I prefer creating things to cleaning things, and believe laughter is a one-stop-shop solution to all that ails you. You will always find a purple wall (or two) in my house (currently in my writing room), and there may or may not be a hidden passageway that leads to a mystery room. (Okay, so you won't find a hidden passageway, but a girl can dream, can't she?) Oh, and tea. There will always be tea.

My writing style has been described as edgy and rule-breaking, and by some--a touch Tim Burton-esque. Because of this, I am often referred to as the Quentin Tarantino of YA among writing friends.

In my former life, I was a teacher (both grade school and college-don't ask), but more recently I've been a graduate of Ellen Hopkin's Nevada Mentor Program and a student of James Scott Bell, Christopher Vogler and Don Maass.

A lethal sword.
A dangerous mission.
A seventeen-year-old girl finding her way in a world that is nothing like she remembered.
When Maylin Kavanagh’s parents surrendered her to The Program, they swore it was for her protection. After being confined in a small underground cell for nearly two years, she is finally released.
But the world has changed.
Most of the populace has been wiped out by a deadly disease, and the rules of society have regressed. But that’s not the worst of it. When her group is kidnapped by a band of rogue vampires, Maylin realizes the decline of the human population has brought other races to the forefront—races she never knew existed. And now they’re all battling for survival and power.
In his father’s absence, Thane Warwick must lead his people. He has two priorities: find his father and find humans who can supply blood to his tribe. Immediately intrigued by his latest captive, he becomes interested in Maylin for more than just her blood, but he soon discovers that he must make a choice between his father and her.
Despite their attraction, Maylin and Thane each have an agenda, and only one can be the victor.
VAMPIRE’S BANE is a mature young adult paranormal fantasy/romance/action & adventure/post-apocalyptic story.



Wow, I enjoyed this book more then I thought that I would. it doesn't help that I didn't read the description to what the book was about so I pretty much when in blindly. I'm so glad it turned out to be a great story and not a dud because I tend to find more duds when I go in without reading more about it. I found the  story line was interesting and unique. Oh and that ending wow, I wasn't expecting it. Its not a cliff hanger but you'll defiantly want to see more of whats in store for these characters. I loved that there was a dual point of view between the two characters. I'm kind of curious on whose perspective well get in the next book. I loved that there was twists and turns throughout the book keeping things interesting. Overall this was a great book. 
Suzannah Daniels has had an affinity for words for as long as she can remember. She grew up in North Georgia with four brothers, so she learned at an early age to admire snakes and motorcycles. When she wasn't pestering her brothers, she could usually be found reading or writing.

Requiem




"You know you can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes, right?"

Requiem by Lauren Oliver
4 of 5 Stars
Format: Hardcover
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Adventure
Pages: 391

Summary:
After Lena, Julian and the rest of her friend go back to the wilds they realized that after all the trouble caused there will more problems on the way. The wilds are no longer safe and slowly but surely the invalids are being taken down and slaughtered.  Those who are left and those who are willing to help will try to band together and fight for their freedom and right to love. 


"But maybe happiness isn't in the choosing. Maybe it's in the fiction, in the pretending: that wherever we have ended up is where we were intended to be all along."

My thoughts:

I loved this last installment of the delirium series. It is fast paced, action packed with nearly always something going on. In this book we get Hana and Lena's POV and such a big difference between their two worlds. One talks of war and the other a wedding. On Hana's side I belive that he cure didn't fully take, I would've figured her to be more of a dull robotic type of person who does what's told and not question and do the things she did. 

With and ending like the last book Pandemonium I was hoping a little light would've been shed on the relationship between Lena and Alex. I wanted them to be together. Nearing the end I was so worried about what would happen. When it comes to these kind of love triangles either someone dies, or is left heartbroken and in the ending there was nothing. Lena and Alex relationship was infuriating, I wanted Julian to get the picture and maybe back off of her that way Alex and Lena can get back. I wish Lena would've just told Julian and Alex how she felt. During the ending I thought they were going to get together but then they cut to the ending and I was left confused. 

I'm having a hard time expressing how I feel about the ending I mean when I was reading it I loved it. It made me feel hopeful for the future of the characters thinking of the many possibilities of what the future holds. After a few moments to think about it I hated it. I felt like I was cheated. I wanted something more. Now I'm left with so much more questions. I swear, to me this is just as bad as the other cliffhangers except this one is supposed to be seen as an ending. Whyyyyyy  >_<

"We wanted the freedom to love. We wanted the freedom to choose. Now we have to fight for it."

"Live free or die."

Scarlet

"I think I realized that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed you."

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer ( The Lunar Chronicles #2)
Stars: 5 of 5
Format: Hardcover
Genre: Young Adult, fantasy, Dystopia, Fairy Tales, Retelling, Steampunk, Romance
Pages: 464

Summary:

Cinder is locked up with the intention of breaking out, with the help of an inmate she goes on a search for a women who helped her escape. Maybe she can help her know more about herself and how to work with her powers.

Scarlets grandmother is missing and no one wants to help. Everyone knows her grandmother is crazy and she probably just ran away. Scarlet knows theres something wrong when her grandmother just leaves without a trace and not contact her. With the help of a stranger, Scarlet will go find her grandmother but will find herself in trouble.
(Anyone else find this a wee bit creepy?)


My thoughts

Of all the fairy tales Red Riding Hood was my favorite and I love how the author retells these fairy tales in a unique way. I mean I've read many remakes of many fairy tale and none come close to this Lunar Chronicles series. I love that these retelling of fairy tales have a unique twist of dystopian era and Syfi.

When I heard about this book I was a little worried because I cinders story hasn't ended. I thought that this book was just going to be Scarlets view and I was relieved to find that this story goes back and forth between Scarlet and Cinder to know whats going on. I liked how the author made this complex story that someone managed to merge into one another.

I loved how fast paced this book was, loads of action and fighting. Theres almost always something going on. I liked how pushy Scarlet was and how she stood her ground, when she wanted to find her grandmere and no one was doing anything about she did whatever it took to find her grandmere. I wish I could've seen more with the relationship between Wolf and Scarlet though like I got to see with Kai and Cinder.


With this last picture I just wanted to show off my nails, they arent anything special but because I was bored I decided to paint my nails the same color as the cloak and the sparkling silver reminds me of the Lunars. So I painted the tips of my nails the sparkling silver and on one nail painted a crescent  I'm not quite sure if you can see it from that picture tho.

Oh and I wanted to share this with you, I just figured this out its a prequel to Scarlet on Wolf its called The Queens Army.

Review: Cinder by Marissa Meyer

"Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon A Time." - Cinder by Marissa Meyer 


Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Stars: 5 of 5
Format: Paperback
Genre:  Young Adult, Diastolic, Romance, Fairy tales, Science Fiction Retelling.
Pages: 390

Summery

Theres nothing special about Linh Cinder, shes just young cyborg mechanic who lives with her step mother, two sisters and her best friend android, Iko. When her sister fall ill, she is blamed by her Step mother and sister and gets sent away to be used as a testing subject so her step mother wont have to deal with her anymore.

Slowly information about a past she remembers nothing of starts to resurface revealing her true self. On top of that she keeps crossing paths with the soon to be emperor of Beijing and end up with a romance that was destined to never be.


My thoughts.

I liked this book so much I was too much that I've already started writing half this review before it even finished. I just wanted to say the imagery is amazing. Other then reading my other hobby includes Painting/Sketching and this book has enough descriptions to get me actually itching to draw a picture of what Cinder could possibly look like or the other characters  I love the twist and turns that occur in this book. I've read a lot of adaptions to the Cinderella story and most of them where predictable and this wasn't, I love that I keep getting surprised of what is going to happen next. There is no other Cinderella adaption like this. Even the ending got me curious of what happens next, Thank goodness Scarlet (The next book in this Lunar Chronicles) is out and my library is already in process to get it to me before the end of the week.


(Written after book was read) There is so much to like about this book from the imagery  the way its fast paced, I liked how well the characters were written. I liked that it had a different setting with the whole Dystopia thing, normally when I find a book that's dystopian its based where the US was this book is based in Beijing. With this book what I ended up getting is a book wit humans, cyborgs, androids and aliens. I'm not a big fan of Aliens I believe I've mentioned that before, the only other book I've read with aliens was In The After. Most of what I've come across in this book is different from what I normally read, so this book was kind of out of my reading comfort zone.

What I also liked about this book is that it didn't go overboard with romance or that whole love at first sight kind of thing, you can tell there was a interest between the prince and Cinder but it was subtle. Too many YA books go overboard with the romance and this just has a little touch of if which I appreciate. It wasn't over the top and it wasn't too little, it was just enough romance thrown in.

My favorite character had to be Iko, yea she only lasted like half the book but that "glitch" she had gave her a great and funny personality. I almost kept forgetting that she was an android, even Iko would almost forget. "I have a glitch, too. Sometimes I forget that I'm not human. I don't think that happen to most androids." (That was from the short story Glitch which is a special bonus in the book. If you would like to check out the Prequel Glitch  Click Here ) She is the most girlish robot I've ever heard and I like the little comments she says in the book.

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
5 of 5 Stars
Genre: Dystopia, Romance, Young Adult, Science Fiction
Pages: 441


Imagine a world without love, a world without sadness, fighting, no war just peace. Its also the same world without laughter, passion and happiness. This is a world  where when a child turns 18 they must get the delirium called "Love" so that the world would be a better place.

Lena has live her life believing that Love is a disease and everyone must be cured, that she must get cured when she can to not catch it. She seen what it had done to her mother and because of it her mother died for love, or so she thought. The day of her testing some mayhem was caused which led her a later date and also the meeting of a cute new boy. After some time of getting to know the boy she realizes that she has caught the delirium and doesn't want to go back to the life she knew with all their contentedness and unhappiness



I enjoyed this book very much, it has an interesting point of view to see the authors view of the world where love is considered a disease. There was so much going on to be interested. I recommend this book to anyone I can.


Highly Recommend.
The good thing also is that there is going to be a tv series based on the books and you can get a head start of the show by reading this books. The thing I love about reading the books before the whole movie/series things is that while its playing I can compare and contrast and complain (For fun) about what did or didn't happen and how it was supposed to be.

Dark and Hollow Places

The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan
Stars 5 of 5
Pages: 374
Genre: Young Adult, Zombies, Dystopia, Horror, Fantasy, Romance

Summery:

At a very young age Annah and Elias left Annah's twin sister in the forest of hands and teeth by herself and when they went to go find her they managed to get lost. For many years Annah and Elias managed to roam around till the made it to the Dark City meanwhile Abigail Gabriel lived in Vista both leading different lives.

When they finally come together, they find themselves in trouble with the city being overrun by inconcecrated/Mudo (Zombies). With the help of Elias and Catcher they are sent with recruiters to a secure place where they can be safe... for a price. Since Catcher is immune to the infection he must help the recruiters gather supplies and foods and in exchange his friends have a safe place to stay. Soon enough Annah comes to realize they aren't safe as they thought they where and will try to come up with a way to get out. 


My say:

Where has this book been hiding? Just perfect. Finally a great zombie book from Carrie Ryan. The first two books should be chucked out the window and this book should just be the only one left. This book had loads of zombies, a decent amount of action and suspense to keep me wanting more. 

My favorite character is Annah, I love how courageous and selfless she was. She faced danger to help the ones she cares about and helps those who she doesn't even know. Shes also resourceful and smart coming up with ways to help escape when they where in trouble. Shes definitely a quick thinker and managed to narrowly escape many situations that should've left her dead. The only problem was her insecurities about how she looked. She compared her looks to her sister a lot and I just felt like screaming at her, that looks aren't important. I also loved how strong she was and how she didn't depend on any one to help her, She didn't play the victim  When she was in trouble she'd face it head on and take what ever consequence that came with it. She didn't like when she guys tried to fight her battles and defend her, she fought for herself.

So to those who haven't read this trilogy or what ever you'd call it, don't bother reading the first two just skip ahead to this book. The great thing about that too is if you ever do actually take my advice and do just that you wouldn't be missing anything because there is pretty much a recap of what happens in the past books when they talk about old memories.

Highly Recommend!

The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan

The Dead-Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan
3 of 5 Stars
Genre: Young Adult, Fiction, Dystopia, Horror, Zombies, Romance
Pages: 404

Summery:

Gabry has lived her life safe in a light house between the forest of hands and teeth and the ocean. Happy with her life in the the town that she grew up in, leaving the town was never something wanted. One day her friends decide they want to cross the barriers to have a little fun and visit an abandoned amusement park. They managed to convince Gabry to join them despite her objections. They knew of the dangers and still chose to go and end up finding themselves in trouble. Friends were bitten and turned, some friends were caught by the officials but Gabry ran abandoning her friends. From that day on Gabrys life has changes as one after another things are turning for the worse, then she meets a stranger and ends up running from the life she once knew. 

My Say

If I had to compare The forest of hands and teeth and this book I would have to say that the first book to this series is the best. This book really was a disappointment. The first book I liked, its wasn't that big of a deal though. I was hoping for the best when I came to read this book and I found that this book isn't even something I would recommend to another or read again. I'm the type of person that when I start a series I don't stop till the end and this book has got me thinking whether I should trudge forth and get to the the last book of this trilogy (If this is a trilogy). I keep hearing good things about the third book so I might read it and hopefully it'll be good.

First of all I didn't like Gabry I thought that she was coward and she made a lot of stupid choices and could've helped save her friends from this situation. There wasn't enough conflict to keep me interested  There was no suspense. A lot of things were predictable that I kept getting bored and putting it down. I felt like it was a book I've read before, and if you've read the first book you'll pretty much know what happens in the second book  because everything is pretty much the same just different names and places. Both stories had the love triangle  an equally annoying main character who is a coward or selfish, they both and both are chased into a another town by either the dead or living. It just felt like there could've been more I enjoyed the first because it was unique but it was still a good but but the second is OK.

If you want a summery of the book check out this review its the greatest. I couldn't help but laugh because this review is true. Architeuthis's review.

If you are reading this series or considering it I don't recommend you read this book. Its not that interesting and there are thousands of other books that are like 100x better then this.

If you still want to get a copy of the book to see for yourself you can get it on: Amazon Paperback or Kindle
