Crimson Frost Review

Author: Jennifer Estep
Title: Crimson Frost

GoodReads Summary:

For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.

I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.

Velveteen Review

Author: Daniel Marks
Title: Velveteen

Twilight: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

Okay so, I was never a Twilight fan till the movie Twilight Eclipse came out in 2010. And even after that I was never 'totally' into it. So then this year, 2012, Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 the movie came out. And that's when I realized how good this series actually was. Well the movies anyway. So I decided to give one of the books a try and read Twilight Breaking Dawn, which is 754 pages.

Drummer Boy at Bull Run Review


Hi blog! Missed you! Haha, really I feel totally guilty for putting off my blogs. But I'm back with a blog on "Drummer Boy at Bull Run" by Gilbert Morris.

Btw, Dawn I'm sorry I ditched you to writing all the blogs for awhile! <3

         Okay, this series isn't about princesses, spies or the supernatural. And it's the complete opposite to S.E. Hinton's books. This book is based off a time in history: The Civil War.
        After hearing that it was about the Civil War, I'm sure most of you automatically said you'd hate these books. But honestly it's a series I'll always remember. Maybe because of realizing what the soldiers and there families had to go through back then, or maybe because the way Gilbert Morris really made you remember his characters and really get into them. Or maybe it's because it's fun to grow with the characters as they grow in a series.
       But anyway, after reading all 10 books in this series I definitely wish they wouldn't have ended.

Covenant Series: Deity Review

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Title:Covenant Series(book three) Deity

GoodReads Summary:
"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. 

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

Now, Saba and her family travel west, headed for a better life and a longed-for reunion with Jack. But the fight for Lugh’s freedom has unleashed a new power in the dust lands, and a formidable new enemy is on the rise.

My thoughts: Silly GoodReads, you forgot to mention complaining in that crossroad...
