Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead Review
WARNING: SPOILERS
kafbaubfuidfikashdkaf. Okay guys. I. Love. This. Book. So. Much. This book was amazing. I am so excited to get Frostbite. This book was so good and I finished it pretty quickly. Okay so I am in love with Christian and I know everyone is in love with Dimitri and stuff but ugh Christian. Don't get me wrong I love Dimitri too but Christian. But it also scares me so much that no one is in love with Christian, like, I'm really scared he's gonna end up being bad or something like fuhadufgua. Okay but this book was sooooooooooooOOOOOOO good. I love this book so much and ahhhhh I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Especially since people say the first and second books aren't that good compared to books 3-6. Like, how? I really loved Rose and Dimitri's relationship. But it's so hard to say what I love about this book because I just love everything and I can't pinpoint some things. Well, there was this one part with Rose and Christian and for some reason I thought this one line was hilarious even though it's probably been used so many times before. It was this part
"Christian spun around to face me, hands stuffed in the pockets of his long black coat, his posture slumped and uncaring.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for the books." He didn't say anything. "The ones you gave to Mason."
"Oh, I thought you meant the other books.""
Okay, so literally I don't know why I found his line so funny but I just smiled so much when I read, probably because I'm in love with him. But seriously it's always hard for me to write reviews for books I love because I don't know how else to say I love it. But really I love this book so much. But I can't believe Natilie became a Strigoi for her father. That's terrible. I actually feel really bad for her because she just wanted her dad to pay attention to her so now she becomes a Strigoi. And Victor, ugh I was like noooooooo because I liked him and I was like aw why does he have to be sick and then he became annoying. Stop. But I really love this book and go buy it and read it, okay? Okay.
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Love this book!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs Review
WARNING: KIND OF SPOILERY
So this book was not that great. I really don't understand why so many people loved it and thought it was amazing. I thought it was okay, really. Some parts were boring and some parts were kind of intense but not really. Jacob was kind of annoying and I didn't like him that much. I don't have that much to say about this book because there really isn't much to say. I found it so annoying that he ended up staying with the peculiars instead of going back home because I couldn't relate to that at all. I just thought it was so stupid that he would leave his family for some people he just met like a month ago. I mean, I knew it was going to happen because 1. there's a sequel and 2. it would be stupid to write this whole book and make him not stay with them. But it would be so much more realistic even though this book isn't really supposed to be realistic. But I thought Jacob was really selfish because he just leaves his dad and his dad doesn't even realize, like, he thinks everything Jacob is telling him is in a dream so when he wakes up he's just gonna find his son is gone. How terrible is that? That's such a horrible thing to do to your parents. There were some parts I did like but I did not like it that much and I don't remember really what parts I liked.
Overall Rating: ★★★☆☆

Split Second (Pivot Point #2) by Kasie West Review
WARNING: SPOILERS
Dear Lord, help me. This book. Oh, this book. This freaking book. I am in love. I love this book. It was even better than Pivot Point. At least I think so. I read Pivot Point a year ago so I don't remember it all that well but I really do think Split Second was better. I really liked the fact that we alternated between Addie's and Laila's point of view. This book was so good and I loved the ending so much and I cried and laughed and gasped and got angry at certain characters and had feels because of Trevor and Addie, and Laila and Connor. But her grandfather. Addie's grandfather. Those parts killed me. Killed me. First, when she found out he was alive. I started tearing up because of how she felt and Kasie West, wow. Just, wow. I felt what Addie was going through at the moment and it was extrememly emotional. But then when we found out he was actually a Perceiver who was pretending to be her grandfather. Oh, my god. I was so sad. I loved that she had someone to go to and how he was a little coocoo in the head. And hated how he was brought back into her life but then ripped away from her so quickly. I really loved this book. I loved all the characters. Expect for the obvious ones that you're supposed to hate. I loved Laila, Connor, Addie, Trevor, and Eli and it was just an amazing book. I don't know if there's going to be a third book but I kind of hope there is. But I don't really know what Kasie West will do with it. I'm not sure if it was obvious or not, but I kind of want another book because I want to know about Bobby and see Addie's life in the Norm world now and see Trevor finally fall in love with her. Oh totally forgot to mention this part but when she got her memories back of the Norm world from her Search and fell in love with Trevor again. That was amazing. And when she finally realized why she decided to stay in the Compound was because Laila died in the Norm world before. But seriously when she told Trevor everything and told him about her Search and how she knows him but he doesn't know her. Emotions. They were everywhere. Those parts were so sad when she would almost start crying because of how much she loves Trevor but that he doesn't love her or know her yet. Kasie West really is phenomenal. I stayed up until 12:30 AM reading. And I know that isn't that late but I go to sleep pretty early, so it's late for me.

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi Review
WARNING: SPOILERS
Hello, everyone! So, this is obviously my first review and sadly I did not like this book very much. It was okay. I liked it at the beginning and I thought that the writing style was unique, but only at first. After a while it got annoying and I thought Tahereh Mafi was trying way too hard to be "poetic" and "lyrical" but ugh I hated it so much. And Juliette? God, she was annoying. She makes me want to vomit. I liked Juliette and Adam together at first but oh, my god everything really got annoying after a while. Like, I was in love with this book at first and I thought I was gonna be obsessed and have to buy the second book right away but gah I really did not like this book. Okay, I really hate the fact that almost every guy in the book was like in love with Juliette. I really hate that, especially since she hated herself and all these guys were fawning over her while she was just moping about how she wishes she was dead. I kind of like Warner? Like, not really but kind of. Oh, my god can we please talk about the fact that Juliette felt "an electric charge" that she "hadn't anticipated" between her and Warner. Oh, god that was the most annoying thing ever like he just told you your boyfriend was dead and now you decide to fall in love with him. And when she "never realized before just how attractive his voice is." Shoot me now. That is what I call desperate. She loses one guy and automatically kind of falls for another. I really despise Juliette. So overall this book was irritating. I didn't like the character and I didn't like the "unique" writing style but the one thing I did like was the story. Sorry if you liked this book but honestly I really didn't.
Overall Rating: ★★☆☆☆
