THURSDAY TEASE!

Guys-

 

Hiyeah there!

So, I've been writing these past few days. They said that if you have story inside your head, it has to come out. Well, that's what I was doing and I'm currently on my second book. I know I never published the first one. Just so you know, it was a Young Adult novel. If I already have all the courage that I can muster, I'd probably send it to some agents. Why not give it a shot right?!

Going back... Right now, I'm working on my very first NA novel. Please let me know if this teaser caught your interest somehow.

 

I'd really appreciate your feedback. I'm at ten percent with this book. And yes, I'm planning to post the story here on my blog or create a wattpad account in the next few days.

So guys, let me know, okay? :)

A Review of New Point by Olivia Luck

 

Title: New Point

Author: Olivia Luck

Pages: 263 pages

Published: September 10,2014

Plot:

Imagine the worst day of your life. Immerse yourself in the details. How did you feel? Who were you with? What were the consequences? 

Recalling my darkest day is as simple as typing a few search terms into a web browser. It only took thirty minutes for me to become the center of a media frenzy that caught the attention of an entire country.

So I hid.

Nine months later and I'm getting better. Moved two hours from home, landed my dream job, and met a delicious new guy.

Healing is that simple, right?

Wrong.

Note: New Point is the start of a standalone series with connected characters, but independent story lines.

MY THOUGHTS

 

***Copy provided by the Author for an honest Review
I've finally come to myself and finished the book that I've neglected for two weeks!

Sorry for the late review. I was sooooo occupied with work and stuff. Anyway, as promised, here's my review of my latest read provided by Ms. Olivia for an honest and true to self review.

Let me tell you about the first pages of the read. This was actually my very first Olivia Luck read and I don't regret it when she offered the advanced readers copy of New Point.
This is a story of love, family, of love and finding inner strength.
The first few pages were so special. I mean, the story did not start with violence or any harsh series of events, which I found really good. I need to take a fresh air and a break from gore details :) though Miles did not surprise me cause I know there should be some serious hot guy on the book, believe me. Ugh. I want him, God knows I really do.

I liked the human interactions in the story. There came a point where I realized that I have been reading some overrated books and romance. New Point changed my taste somehow. All the characters are so natural, I mean they are well written and I felt the connection with.
The story however, has some cliches on it. Like a very handsome guy falling in love with a damaged woman. But I am telling you right now. The heroine doesn't need saving. I liked the fact the she saved her own from her past and her issues. Go girl!!!
This book has some violence on it but it spiced up the story. It was a light read though, it made me damn relaxed myself.
Before I even conclude this review, I would like to commend the author for addressing one of the underlying issues in the society. She addressed violence on this book and solved it by showing the readers how importance life is, how important the role of Family is to one's life. Ms. Olivia, though not blatantly pointed out, had portrayed the significance of family in the outcome of an individual. For example, Clinton(I won't really tell you who he is), who felt so neglected and jaded because of how he felt growing up. Look at him right now. The lack of human interaction, or so to say, human love has made him the way he is. Communication and understanding should start in the circle of family. Believe me, it will change the future.
Ms. Olivia like I said, presented a problem with solving the issue at the end. This rarely happens in books that I read, especially when there are tons of New Adult books sprouting like mushrooms everywhere offering the same theme.
I wouldn't even tell you the romance on the book. It friggin depresses me cause I really would like to have someone like Miles. Even though I kinda think he's a coward.
Zoe Baker, I adore you for finding your own courage and strenght. You are one in a million!

I'm not gonna say more cause I might spoil you guys. The reading experience that I had with this book is unforgettable.
I am hoping that I can share Zoe's story to other people, most importantly to people who are afraid, scared and needing to search for their inner light. I want them to find the courage to face their fears. Thank you Ms Olivia Luck for sharing this to me.
I really did enjoy the book and am waiting for another story from this author.

Therefore, let me give this book a 4.5 shining stars! ****

You rock Girl!

Till next time!

A is back!!!

Hello world!!!
After two years of hibernation, your quirkiest reviewer slash reader slash blogger is back!

Now what do we have here?

So, I'm currently reading The Education of Alice.

Here's one of my fave part

"S’hard to love yourself. I know that. But you can’t love someone else without loving yourself first. You can’t be there one hundred percent for another person unless you like yourself. It’s unfair to the person you love.”

I'll let you know once I'm done reading.


Take care loves,

A!

IGNITE ME (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi

shatter me #3

 Title: Ignite Me (books three in Shatter Me series)
Author: Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: February 4, 2014
Number of Pages: 352
Published by: Harper Collins

SYNOPSIS:

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, called "a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love"

Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew-about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam-was wrong.

In Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that combined the best of dystopian and paranormal and was praised by Publishers Weekly as "a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to take risks." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia said it was "dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense." Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end. (SOURCE: GOODREADS)

MY THOUGHTS

I haven't read the book yet but I can tell you now, this book would be my favorite of all Tahereh's masterpieces! I've posted my reviews on the previous books in this series here on my blog. And every book was five-star for me. I am soooooo in love with Tahereh Mafi and her exquisite talent. She holds me with her words and imprison me with the characters she created. I love everything about this girl. Even though I don't know her personally, her books already told me she's a great person. Her books reflect who she is. 

Anyways, I never had the chance to receive an ARC of Ignite Me unlike the previous books. I haven't received anything yet. I wish someone is kind enough to lend me a copy of this much-anticipated book of 2014 *crossfingers

Please please please be February 4 already! CRAAAAAAP! I can't wait to have this book! Especially when reading the reviews of beta-readers and also some of the best-selling authors!

If you haven't read the books yet, well, babe, you definitely are missing half of your life! The series is for all fans of dystopian novels-- Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, Carrie Ryan, Ally Condie, Ransomm Riggs and soo many to mention authors. This series is action-packed with romance just enough for your taste and HOT GUYS! Yeah. You heard that right! Swoon-worthy hot guys. WARNER IS MINE PLEASE! *ahem 

 

Here are the other books in the series. In a trilogy, there's supposed to have three books but this series has five, Shatter Me, Destroy Me- which is told by Warner's (me baby) point of view, Unravel Me and the recently released novella Fracture Me which was told by Adam. You can click on the caption below each picture for the synopsis. Thanks!

Choosing You by Allie Everhart; A Review

Title: Choosing You 
Written by Allie Everhart
Published on: September 21, 2013
Published by: Waltham Publishing

When Jade is given a scholarship to an elite private college in Connecticut, she sees it as a chance to finally escape her painful past and get a fresh start. She’s determined to succeed and that means keeping her focus on school and not guys. But her plan falls apart her first day on campus when Garret, a rich prep school boy with swimmer abs and a perfect smile, offers to help her move in.

Jade tries to push him away, but she can’t deny her attraction to him and Garret won’t let her. Things quickly heat up between them, but then come to a sudden halt when reality hits and Jade realizes that a relationship with Garret may never be possible. He comes from a world of wealth where there are rules, including rules about who he can date. And not following those rules has consequences.

As the two of them try to overcome the obstacles working to keep them apart, Jade is confronted with another challenge. On her 19th birthday, she receives a letter that her now deceased mother wrote years ago. In it are revelations that explain her traumatic childhood but also make her question the past she’s been running from.(sOURCE: GOODREADS)

MY THOUGHTS

I was looking on the list for upcoming New Adult books in Goodreads. I was so frustrated that I’m missing out a lot with the world of fiction. Though, I could never complain because I have a job that helps me pay the bills and even supports my excessive obsession on books.

When I was browsing the list, I found a lot but I cannot purchase them all- I cannot afford every single new release book. I really needed to make a decision. After the gazillion years of indecision and insecurities, I came up with ten books to devour. And that includes Choosing You by Allie Everhart.

This is actually my very first Everhart book. I am not really familiar with the name or even the book itself. Thanks to Goodreads and the millions of booklovers out there! Without you, I wouldn’t even have the chance to experience how amazing this book is!

And so, this is a story of Jade, a girl who was good, straight-laced, and swore off to vices at a young age. After her alcoholic mother’s death, she put up a wall around her, focusing on her studies. With her childhood best friend, Ryan, she made it through high school and graduated as valedictorian. Ryan and his father, Frank, took care of her after her mom’s death. They became her rock going through life. Even if they have none, they made it through- Ryan in med school, Jade as freshman in college.

With the help of Kensington Scholarship, she now has the chance to get through college. This was the first time that she would be away from home but she’s not bothered anyway. First-day jitters, unfamiliar faces, she was not even mortified by the idea. Not until a super-hot amazingly sexy boy knocked on her door. And the gorgeous hottie had a name- Garret! And guess what happened next? Oh keep guessing! Ha!

I really don’t want to talk about how the book went because it is obvious, I liked it. I know that I am kinda busy these days, with work and sleep. A girl gotta sleep ya know! Well, anyway, I still found it hard to put the book down. Okay, I was actually reading in my e-reader, but who cares, right?

Garret made my reading so much fun. He’s like a candy on a stick, ready to be licked. Oh my god! Did I just say that?! Never mind! I know I’m older than him, that if he’s not fictional, but I was really attracted to his character and how it was developed. Crap. Every perfect creature is fictitious! For the love of Mary Shaw!  Going back, he is the hero in our story but there was a point in this book that I wanted to throw my reader away and stopped remembering the story. But that’s the trick of reading a book right? If a book doesn’t have that element, it would be super boring. Though, this one was just right for my taste. Okay, Garret was the perfect gentleman. Like every other young man in that age, I can understand his playfulness and cravings for alcohol and girls. It’s normal, correct? One thing that keeps on bugging me is that, why on Earth would he follow his bastard father if he never treated him right. I know, I know, he’s still his father but you know… Enough with the mumbling! He was a perfect support for our main character. Though the book didn’t give the side of Garret’s mind, the author created a clear picture of what was happening and what was supposed to happen. I couldn’t say more about the characterization.

Now, let’s go to Jade, the main character, the heroine of the story. I’m thinking that I, somehow, relate to her. With the books over boys’ attitude, and I-don’t-care-about-the-world state of mind, I knew then that I would love her. And I did. There was something about her that made me wanna kick some ass when if I plan on going out the house and be a bad girl. I cannot tell more about her. She’s just too perfect. Haha.

Anyway, when it comes to writing, I love the fact that Alli made the story fresh even if there are hundreds of new adult novels in this genre. I mean, the hero or the heroine is broken, with a not so good past, or a broken family. I was kinda nervous and afraid of the story because I have read so much about a girl hiding something in the closet and then I never finished reading the story because I already knew what’ll happen. However, this book gave me the thrill because there was an additional back story that spiced up my entire reading. I don’t want to spoil on you on that one so I prefer you read this book. Hahaha. (Mood kill?!)

Every situation was addicting, making me hold on to the story. The moments between the characters were really believable. Though, Garrett is not real. He is not real. I want him to be real. *sobs

The revelation at the end was not so explosive to me. The only thing that could hinder me from giving perfect rating would be the fact that the biggest question was not answered. What happened to the past? Who victimized whom? Where did the letter come from? Why did it happen? The story lacks establishment but for me I think it somehow sufficed. And what’s the point of having the second book published if the answers were found in the first right?

Would I recommend this book to the readers?

Duh?! Definitely!

And I’m giving the book five shining stars. I was going to rate it with four and a half… I thought about it. This debut novel of Allie deserves perfect rating! Hurray! I almost choke myself to death after reading this. I hope Ms. Alli could read this because she deserves all the praise for this fiction. *round of applause

I just want you to know, Ms. Alli, that you made my reading experience worthwhile. I cannot wait for the sequel. I wish I could have the second installment right now. As in NOW. *fingers crossed

We’re all lovely,

---A.

Secrets, so powerful, that her life may never be the same. (Goodreads)



MY THOUGHTS

This is a story of love, trust and betrayal.

 If you are looking for a happy ever after, expect but don't expect. Make sure you are mentally stable before you read this book!

I received a copy of this book thru mail (tech is awesome!) . I am really grateful that Miss Kelly Harper- yes , the   amazing author of this book  , asked me to make an honest review. I was literally rolling on the floor when I received the  message . This is one hell of an opportunity and I am never gonna let it slip away!

Honestly, I was having second thoughts about this book. Why? I have reasons. Number one ; it is a New Adult novel - I was trying to chill out and take a break on NA . Two, the plot is the same like any other na novel-  the heroine/hero is damaged goods or hiding skeletons in the closet. Three , I was afraid that someone needs rescuing again.

Then, I began reading. I was intrigued. And I was soooo wrong.

The first part of the read was kinda slow to me. I felt like someone was dragging me   to get through the end. The storyline kinda  not worked for me. I was looking for something, like the magic, the chemistry,  the harmony of the scenes. The writing was incredible but the story itself didn't work that good for me. 

Seeing the world through Maggie's eyes was a compelling and thrilling ride, though.  I got to experience her heartache, pain, happiness, love and confusion.  Though, her reaction toward the situation, to me, was a little bit over the top. I mean, I thought she had a really sordid, life-threatening past that it had affected her trust issues too much.  And there were scenes/situations that were too drawn out for me. I had to skip some pages so I could go on through my read. It took me a week to finish this book. To say that I was kinda bored and sleepy upon reading this book is an exaggeration though. Even if I dragged myself through it, I liked the story.

And then the super hot sexy smoldering Haden came along...

He changed everything that I felt about this book (who would not!).  He's too damn perfect. He's one of the fictional characters that ruined all other existing male specie in the entire universe! 

The end was really unexpected! Seriously, it was a massive explosion to me! You better read this one!

four amazing guitars for you, Kelly!

I am definitely recommending this book to everyone!

Picture Perfect by Ella Fox; A Review

Picture Perfect by Ella Fox

Book One of the Renegade Saints
Series
ebook, 234 pages
Published March 10th 2013 by
Smashwords


SYNOPSIS:

Flynn Rand spent the last decade
as the lead singer of one of the
world’s most famous bands.
Although he's got a reputation as
a player, he’s decided that it’s
time to find something real.
One look at a photo of Tessa
Hamilton had him hooked.
Tessa’s teenage celebrity crush
was Flynn Rand. Now he was
offering her the professional
opportunity of a lifetime, a job
as the official photographer for
the Renegade Saints farewell
tour. Assuring herself that her
teenage attraction to Flynn
wouldn’t hold up when she met
him in person, Tessa took the
job.

Tessa is hesitant to explore their
connection.
Flynn has no intention of giving
up, and he intends to prove to
her that they are meant to be
together.
Can Flynn convince Tessa that
their attraction to each other is
the real thing?





MY THOUGHTS


Picture Perfect by Ella Fox is one hell of a read.

The story is about a Photographer, named Tessa, who is beginning to climb the road to success, and a famous rockstar- Flynn Rand, who is devilishly handsome and smoldering hot. A story of trust, music and unforgettable love.

Honestly, I picked this novel and ordered on Amazon because 1) it's ans Ella Fox book and 2) the title has been overused these days that I want to experience different stories of the same title. I liked the plot of the story, though it features another rock star. Flynn's difference to the other book rockstars? He's already on the peak of his career, rich, hot and bored.

I liked the idea that Flynn is more human than any BFFs that I have. He's not pretentious, or maybe a little. And he's getting tires of the fame and stardom. Plus points to you, Rand! :D

When I turned to read the book, I was damned. Man, t'was written in Flynn's POV. Did I mention that I have a soft spot in books with the hero's pov? And I loved Ella Fox more with that. :)

I won't say much about the story because I never want to spoil the readers- those who haven't read the book. So, I'll just blabber on the technicalities and generalities of the novel.

The first chapter kept me reading. As I said, it's Flynn's voice. The next chapter, in Tessa's.

I had a head start. I thought the story was good. I didn't have the urge to put it down or skip reading. It kept me going.

Sad to say, when I reached 20% of this read, it got annoying. Don't get me wrong. I liked it but really not into it. Tessa and Flynn's relationship was a roller coaster. Okay, I really need to tell you this. Flynn's in his late twenties (correct me if Im wrong). But the way his story is written? Hmmm, it was like reading inside a head of a sixteen-year old lovestruck girl. It was really, I mean, really really irritating. What's worse? Tessa's voice was much more musculine than Flynn's.

I loved The Hart Series by Ella Fox. I loved every book. I have everything she has written. But this one, Picture Perfect is poorly written. The chemistry between Tessa and Flynn was kinda forced to me. I even skipped pages because I couldn't force myself tp get through so much torture.

Their relationship? And the sex? Way too overkill. I didn't like it. It was so disappointing. :( Not that I didn't enjoy it, but their relationship was so mushy I couldn't take it. Fine, Flynn Rand was too much.

The cheesy part? Hmmm, he's related to the Hart family. Overkill, again.


I'm sorry. I'm sorry if this review might appear mean. But this is an honest review. Sooooo...

Though I didn't like it too much, I still finished it- that means something. This is still a read, not an experience though.

With that, I'm giving Picture Perfect by Ella Fox three and a half shining stars! ***- :)))

I recommend it to readers who are interested to steamy romance. Dude, this book is hot! Genuinely!

Tell me what you think! Recommend something to me. :)

MUSIC MONDAY: Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

For the very first time, this blog features songs and artists in which most of the authors get their inspirations to. Some are used as soundtracks in film adaptations. Some are on the track list of our favorite novels.

So, for starters, the song of the week is..... *drum roll please

RADIOACTIVE by Imagine Dragons!







Title: RADIOACTIVE 
Artist: IMAGINE DRAGONS
Released: October 29, 2012
Writer: Imagine Dragons
Producer: Alex Da Kid
















This song was used in the movie adaptation of the sci-fi novel, The Host by Stephenie Meyer which was released on March 29, 2013 worldwide. It was also used heavily in the promotions for the video game Assassin's Creed III. Musically, 'Radioactive' is an indie rock song with elements of electronic rock and dubstep while containing cryptic lyrics of apocalyptic and revolutionist themes. The song received acclaim from critics who praised the production, lyrics, and vocals, with some calling it the best song on the album. (wikipedia)

                                        








I first heard this song on the first full trailer for The Host. Right there, then, it's on repeat in my music player. The song is soooo addicting, like I couldn't stop myself from singing along- which is actually, me, screaming and shouting the lyrics of the song. There, then, I decided to download the whole album of Imagine Dragons.  The music genre is not exactly a new to me since I've been listening to different styles of music.  My first thought upon hearing the song  was , "Fudge! I love this band!" And I am undone.

Lyrics

I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust

I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes

It's a revolution, I suppose

We're painted red to fit right in

Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died

Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive
