QUICK REVIEW : Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Synopsis Obsidian (book 1)

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.



Quick Review

It is a great and actionpacked alien-paranormal-maybesupernatural series by an awesome author!
The plots and actions are actionpacked and mostly fast-pasted, the characters have great charasteristic developements, and the romance isn't too much and very cute *-*

Most of the time you're shocked or awed of how something turns out in the end and because all 5 books are out already you don't have a problem with cliffhangers!

It is a great read for everyone who loves this genre and even the ones who don't.

REVIEW : Where she went by Gayle Forman

Synopsis

If you had a second chance at first love . . . would you take it?

It's been three years since Adam's love saved Mia after the accident that annihilated life as she knew it . . . and 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, powerful 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.



Review

This was one of these books which has a plot twist near the end and then it'll all be fine. Normally I don't like that because I mostly see those twists coming and than it hasn't this surprise effect but in this book it wasn't like that.
In the middle I was already satisfied even though a little bit sad but then came the twist and I was just like : Oh my gods! That was unexpected.

I liked the way that this book is from Adam's POV and that you can see how the rockstar life is harming him but then Mia's showing up and he becomes the Adam of before again. The one who loves music.
This whole band dipute and Adam with Bryn was a little bit blahh and I didn't like the way they interacted with Adam. But I liked Aldous. He was a nice guy (:

And the newspaper article at the end of the book was so great.
Over all I think Gayle Forman did a great job with both bookd and I don't know in particuilar which book of this duology I like best :D (If I stay review here)

What's your opinion on it ? (:

Chocolate Book Tag






I was tagged by Anna @ Enchanted by YA to do the Chocolate book tag and so here I am doing it (:

Well, I tag :  Amelia @ YA Bookologists
Summer @ Miss Fictional


Dark Chocolate - A book that cover a dark topic (domestic violence, abuse, rape, loneliness, death, etc.)


If I stay by Gayle Forman (review here)

I know, I know. 
This isn't "dark".But since I don't read dark books, I must say that's the darkest book I read so far..
And it aswell has to do with death and that's why I chose it.







White Chocolate - Your favourite lighthearted/humorous book



Since you've been gone by Morgan Matson (review here)

It is both mentioned above: lighthearted and humorous.
I laughed in this book many times and
I just flew through it!
A recommendation for everyone who loves lighthearted contamporary
with a bit of humor.





Milk Chocolate - A book that's gotten a lot of hype and you're dying to read


The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

The hype is soo big around this book and generally about this series, especially after the second book was released just a few days ago I think.
I am kind of ashamed that I haven't read it yet since it seems that everyone loves it but I just put it of for when I'm in the mood for reading about aliens and stuff like this. But it is on my Birthday/Christmas wishlist !





Chocolate with Caramel Center - A book that made you feel all gooey inside while reading it


Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

Maybe an unusual pick for this but because all those
Warnette feels in this book I just was gooey.
Well... maybe that's the reason why I've read this book about
three times this year already and probably will a fourth :D





Wafer-Free KitKat - A book that surprised you lately


Take back the Skies by Lucy Saxon (review here)

It hadn't surprised surprised me but I definitely hadn't thought I'll enjoy it
 that much I haveand especially not that I'd be so emotionally attacked by it.
So yeahh.. it was a surprise.





Snickers - A book you're going nuts about


Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

Should I really explain this ?
HELLOOO??? It's the next Cassie book in her fantastic shadowhunter world!
And it's coming out NEXT year !!! oooo:
Soooooooo exicted for it *ooo*
And I can't wait to see the actual cover for it ! *---*
Hell! You can see right now I'm going 100% nuts about it! :D





Hot Chocolate with Cream and Marshmallows - A book you would turn to for comfort


City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

Another Cassie book, and an awesome one!
Even though it has freaking 730 pages I would read it always when I'm not feeling comfortable. It just makes me laugh, sad and to a fangirl at level 10. :D






Box of Chocolates -  A series you've read that has a wide variety and a little something for everyone


Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas (review here)

It just has action, a little bit of romance, a kick-ass female protagonist and an amazing fantasy world.
So what do you want more?
It's definitely one of my favourites ever and I recommend it to nearly everyone who asks me what they should read (:
So : GO AND READ IT if you haven't already ! :D




That's all (:
Hope you like it and feel free to do it, even if I haven't tagged you *-*
