Drink, Slay, Love

by

When I first came across this book featuring vampires and were-unicorns, I thought: “what the hell, this should be fun”, as fun as any parody can be.. and it has been for a while, with Pearl’s witty voice and her slow transformation from the soul-less vampire to the ‘humanized’ one. But when it got to … Read more

I won’t say much about this book as I usually don’t review the books I don’t like. And surprise-surprise, I didn’t quite like it. Still, I have to get it out of my head, so here it comes.. my review wanna be (or if you wish my bubbling thoughts): I blame it on the cover! … Read more

Touch of Power

by

I have this strong belief that you should read someone’s books in the order they have been published, because usually the last ones are better than the first ones. Of course this is not a rule, and it doesn’t really apply here either. I had high hopes after reading Poison Study last year. It’s not … Read more

Catching Jordan

Ha-haa, what a fun way to spend the evening. This book was amazingly cute, and the characters too adorable for words. From Jordan and Henry, to JJ, Carter, Ty and the girls, and even the family members – they were all so great that I wished for them to be part of my life. They … Read more

Legend

by

You know those books you read that seem to get only better with time? That you like the first time around, love the second time, and then love seems only to grow to adoration from there? Legend is one of those. It was everything I wanted, it’s a book I will be definitely coming back to and I can’t wait to see how the story evolves from here.

Lola and the boy next door

by

[spacer]

I’m definitely going to burn in hell..

[spacer]

Oh, that awkward moment when everybody loves a book and you don’t understand why…

You know that feeling, right? Well, yeah, I’m pretty much living it. I thought I would love it to pieces, too bad it didn’t work that way 😐

It’s not that I DIDN’T LIKE the book, it’s just that I didn’t LIKE it.. Does it make any sense to you, because for me there is a whole damn big difference.

Anyways, this is not Anna’s book-sister, this is more like the evil stepsister.. It  actually managed to  raise my blood pressure, unfortunately not in a “too hot to handle” kind of way.

I’ve generously given this book 2.5 stars because I love Stephanie’s style. Not only because I loved Anna but because I follow Stephanie’s  blog and I love her posts, her wittiness, her optimism, her joy of life. She makes me laugh a lot.. But Lola, Lola was just not right for me and I really struggled to understand why did all those people love it so much.

First I didn’t like (whinny) Lola.. Or (dorky) Cricket for a matter of fact. (Yes, I know you all love him but I just can’t understand why)
Then I liked Max.
Did you just have a heart attack? No? Ok then, Because i need you to listen to me.

I’ll start from the beginning…

Question: What occupies your time when your nose isn’t stuck in a book?

Shatter Me

by

“Killing time isn’t as difficult as it sounds. I can shoot a hundred numbers through the chest and watch them bleed decimal points in the palm of my hand. I can rip the numbers off a clock and watch the hour hands tick tick tick their final tock just before I fall asleep. I can suffocate seconds just by holding my breath. I’ve been … Read more

Vampire Academy

by

If I had to describe this book really shortly I would probably say: vampire teen drama.. a lot of vampire teen drama. Not that this is bad, because I enjoyed enormously the way these teens interacted with each other, the jokes, the fights, the paybacks, and so on. Still, I felt like this was just … Read more

Dreaming after Midnight (#5) Shaun

Shaun (from Newsflesh Trilogy by Mira Grant) I don’t read books about zombies, but with characters like Shaun and Georgia I would read anything and I bet I’d still love it no matter what.
