Warning: kind of spoileryish
Wow. I liked this book way more than I expected to. I really love Maxon. Like a lot. I loveeeeee him. I am so Team Maxon. He's just so sweet and adorable. I was so mad when Aspen became a guard at the palace ughhhhh stay away Aspen. He's so annoying. I really don't feel like he actually likes her. Let alone loves her.
I really liked this book though. I thought all of the parts with Maxon were extremely cutesy and I loved it so much. I really love Maxon, guys. Ahh but I'm so scared I'm gonna be really annoyed with The Elite because Aspen's now a guard so he's gonna be there for the whole book instead of just the end and agh that's why I don't like love triangles at allll. And this review is gonna be really short because I read this book 4 days ago so yeah I loved it though.

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) by Richelle Mead
WARNING: SPOILERS. AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BLOOD PROMISE OR ANY VAMPIRE ACADEMY BOOK PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW!!!!!
Richelle Mead!!!!!!!!!! You are one of my favorite authors!!! And the Vampire Academy series is officially my favorite. Ahhhhhhhhh. Okay, so 1) Dimitri 2) Abe and 3) The Belikovs. So first let's talk about Dimitri. At the beginning of the book I was obviously sad and I cried a lot. Especially when Rose told the Belikovs what happened to Dimitri. Fast forward to when she found Strigoi Dimitri, holy guacamole. Wow, okay. I didn't imagine Strigoi Dimitri to look anything like dhampir Dimitri at all. Obviously he would look a bit different, red rimmed eyes, pale skin and fangs but he just acted so different that I couldn't help but imagine him differently. I really did not like Strigoi Dimitri at all and I would get really sad because I would miss dhampir Dimitri so flipping much. When he drank her blood and stuff I was like, nooooo Roseeee stooooooop letttttting hiiiim driiiiiiink yooouuuurrrr bloooooood.
OKAY CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT ABE BEING ROSE'S DAD HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED THAT SO MUCH AND I REALY FELT SOMETHING FOR ABE BEFORE SHE LEFT AND THEN WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS HER DAD AHHH THE FEELS!!1 I'M SO EXCITED FOR MORE ABE ADFIKLOJADSFLKJL

WARNING: REALLY BAD SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ SHADOW KISS OR ANY OF THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY BOOKS!!!!!!! I GOT SPOILED WHAT HAPPENED AND IM SUPER ANGRY SO DO NOT READ ON!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Why? Why?! Okay, I'm getting really sad and I'm tearing up and my heart hurts and I can't. After I finished Shadow Kiss I went and bought Blood Promise right away and I am currently reading it. Okay, I'm gonna calm down a bit before I keep writing this review.
I'm back. Haha I took a long time to come back to writing this. Like 4 hours maybe? But half a second for you. Okay so this book was amazing and I can't express how much I love it and how right people are about books 1 and 2 being not as good as books 3-6. Well, I still haven't like read books 4-6 but I'm reading book 4 now but ya know what I mean. Okay but Eddie was great. I really started to like him in this book. I never disliked him but we never saw that much of him so I couldn't like say I liked him a lot, you know? Well, he was great and I was so sad whenever Rose brought up Mason and he got really sad and when Lissa suggested Eddie ask out Rose and Eddie said he would never ask out Mason's girlfriend. Awwy Eddie. I really like Eddie. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT ROSE HAD TO BE CHRISTIAN'S GUARDIAN FOR THE FIELD EXPERIENCE. TWAS GREAT. I was like reading this in homeroom, I think, and I read that part and I was like OH MY GOD THAT'S PERFECT! I started smiling because I didn't even think about Rose being Christian's guardian. Rose and Christian are such a brotp. OMG ROMITRI DID IT. AHHHHHHH SO SAD THOUGH BECAUSE DIMITRI STOP IM GONNA START CRYING AGAIN AHHHHH RICHELLE WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO ME!!!!!!!???? But like I got spoiled what was gonna happen. I was on the vampire academy tumblr tag and I was just scrolling through looking at movie pics and stuff and then boom someones like "my friend is reading shadow kiss and she was like "omg i was so scared dimitri was gonna turn strigoi but he didnt" hahaha you're wrong" like no warning whatsoever like you couldnt have just written at the top SHADOW KISS SPOILERS. I don't even think I was done reading Frostbite yet. Whatever it was so sad though. I was reading it after a math quiz and like Strigoi started attacking and stuff and I was about to cry because I knew what was gonna happen so I had to close the book so I wouldn't start crying in math but then I kept reading and stuff and then when I got home I finished the book and cried for eternity.

Panic by Lauren Oliver
WARNING: SPOILERS (kind of)
This book was really good. It wasn't exactly great because the ending was a bit unsatisfying, but the rest of the book was really good. The challenges were really intense and I really liked that about the book. I didn't really like Nat. Like at all. And also at first I did want Bishop and Heather to end up together but I just expected Heather and Dodge because they were the narrators and usually that's how it works but I liked the idea of two different love stories and Lauren Oliver kind of changed it up a bit with making the narrators not end up together. But for some reason I started to want Heather and Dodge to end up together probably because I really did not like Dodge and Nat, mostly because I didn't like Nat. It was a good book, though and I really enjoyed it. I finished it pretty quickly. Oh and I loved Anne so much she was so sweet to Heather and Lily and I really loved her. Oh my God, though, when Nat took the keys from the car that Dodge hid a bomb in and then gave the keys to Heather so she could drive it, I was dying. I was like hjasbfajsdksjdhnjasdhjkf NAT I HATE YOU. I mean, I know she didn't know there was a bomb thingy in it but ugh I still just don't like Nat. Like when she said she would split fifty-fifty with Heather and then manipulates Dodge to split fifty-fifty. She's so annoying. I really don't like her. Okay, on to Bishop. I liked him a lot at first but the more I read the book, the more I started to not really like him. I think it might have been because I started to want Heather with Dodge. I don't know. But I kind of guessed Bishop was a judge like a few chapters because we actually found out. I don't know what else to say, but, yeah, it was a really good book.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I hate this book. I hate Holden. That's all I have to say. Kind of. Holden just annoyed me so much. He said phony way too much and ugh I just didn't like him. Sorry I don't feel like writing a long review because I read this book for school and we had to write journal entries for every chapter and ugh I've already written so much about it and yeah sorry I hated this book.

Frostbite (Vampire Academy #2) by Richelle Mead
WARNING: SPOILERS
Oh, my god. This book was so good and I am so excited to read the rest of the series! Love, love, love, love, love, love this book so much. Dimitri and Rose <3 ugh so perfect. I love them and I love Dimitri. I think I'm starting to like Dimitri more than Christian because you see more of Dimitri obviously but he's so adorable. I really loved Christian in this book, though. Like, at the end when they were escaping from the basement and he liked burned the plastic off Rose's wrists and stuff and heated up the gun one of the guards was holding. Love him. And Mia! Oh, my god Mia. She was great, I liked her in this book and when she used her water powers to suffocate Isaiah, that was awesome. And I genuinely felt bad for her when her mom died. But Mason. Mason. Mason. Noooooooo whyyyyy?!?!?! I'm super annoyed though because his death got spoiled for me and I was like NOOOOOOOOO. But his death was really sad and :(((((((((((((((((((((((((. I don't have much to say because it was a sequel and stuff but oh yeah I remember some stuff I can talk about, okay. So, Tasha is cool and stuff but ugh I didn't like her when she was with Dimitri like stop trying to steal Rose's man and when Tasha wanted Dimitri to be her guardian and then they can have kids together??? Stop. Stop. But otherwise she was pretty cool. I was so happy, though, when Dimtri told Rose he said no to Tasha like ahhhhhhhhhhhh :DDDDDDDDDD <----- that's how happy I was.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (re-read)
WARNING: SPOILERS
So, this was my second time reading City of Bones. I read it two years ago and didn't continue on with the series and now I want to read the series so I decided to re-read it so I can read the rest of the series. I definitely liked it better the second time around. I don't know why. I think it might be because I took so long to read it and I might have had other books on my mind. But I did like it better this time. I really love Jace and Clary and I know, I know, it's really weird now because they're brother and sister but ugh I love them. I mean I don't really know what to say because a lot of things happened in the book so I don't know what things to focus on. Oh, I love Luke and I was like crying when Valentine almost killed him I was so scared because I didn't really remember what happened but Luke and Clary are such a brotp. I love Jace and I think he's awesome except for when he was really annoying when he found out Valentine is his father and he was acting all calm, I guess, and just not like himself. But I really, really, love Jace and Clary and this is probably the first time where I like who she ends up with in a love triangle. I usually have to know who she ends up with before I read it because then I fall in love with the other guy and hate the books. Which is really stupid because I shouldn't just like a book because of the romance but I think that's a pretty big part in the books and if it's there then it's just going to annoy me throughout the series. I really liked the book though and I am going to read City of Ashes soon but after I read Frostbite by Richelle Mead because if I read CoA before Frostbite I won't pay attention to it.
