Book Review: The Return(Titan #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Return
by
Jennifer L. Armentrout
(Website|Twitter)
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…

It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Book 1 in the new adult paranormal TITAN series, spin-off to the best selling COVENANT series.

"Because history has once again been flipped to repeat"

Oh my Gods! I never would have thought how powerful that statement was until I finished the book. The Return just gave me a lot of feels! Can't believe I managed to finished it, no nothing dramatic like one sitting, but yeah close to that, like two or maybe three sitting and no I'am not joking. NVM, I don't know, all I know is I'am babbling right now because this book is just definitely too beautiful for my own good. My feels are still all over the place.

Book Review: Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Cursed
by
Jennifer L. Armentrout
(Website|Twitter)
Dying sucks
...and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand.

After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?

But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life.

For real this time.

"I was way too focused on the fact that I didn't want to be one of those statues in the museums-never moving, never changing- to forever be the girl who couldn't even touch a plant"

Ember, Em, lived a good life. She had an amazing family, a gifted sister, loving parents, and she's popular at their school, everyone knows her, she's a cheerleader and have a hot and quarterback boyfriend to top it all.. until she died. Yep, died, dead, passed away, expired.. gone. Then her forever talented and gifted sister brought her back to life.

How convenient.

This Week's Question:
Is there a book that you were required to read in school that you actually loved?
Suggested by Natalie Hearts Books

I really love this week's question!

I remember when I was on my 4th yr college, on the first day of school on my Philosophy subject (I was planning not to give this subject too much time and care because this was just a minor subject, and I'm an Information Technology student, I mean, I have a lot more programs and thesis to take care, much more major subject, but I ended up loving this subject because of this book), when a teacher entered a room, she went straight to the whiteboard, and wrote "Sophie's World", face the class, introduce herself and told us that we need to get a copy of this book by next week, read it and so we can discuss it next meeting.

Go Figure.

Ofcourse, we were all dumbfounded. No usual introduce yourself crap and everything. Not that we're complaining. I get a copy right away, saw that it was about Philosophy, Obviously, History of Philosophy and Philosophical Thinking. I was planning to just read the summary and some reviews of the book from the net, because, you know this isn't my kind of tea, I'm more of a paranormal, sci-fi's, thriller kind of girl.

I was so glad I didn't. I don't know what spirit possessed me, but I actually tried to read it and I enjoyed it. It was intriguing, sure some of the parts were boring, most especially when it was enumerating the History of Philosophy, but the book actually had a good plot that will make you ask the same question ask in the book to yourself. It actually took me like, 3 weeks I think before I finished the book, it was actually long, but I did finished it. And I was the only one who managed to finished it in our class, and I was an instant celebrity! and I got avery high grade! Too bad it was only a minor subject.. Nevertheless, one of my precious College memories! :)**Wink

This Week's Question:
If you were to get a tattoo, what would it say or what would the graphic be? Or if you have a tattoo, share a picture and its meaning.
Suggested by Second Run Reviews

I have wanted to have a tattoo for like.. Forever. I love the idea of having a permanent mark/art on our skin that I personally pick. However, I have not always been a risk taker and the pain is kinda scary. But, if I ever, ever find the courage to get a tattoo, I'll most definitely pick a literature quote or a fanart of my favorite book! What is exactly is it? Not yet sure because I would love to give it a lot of thoughts before deciding. After all it's going to be permanent. **Wink

Book Review: Confessions of a Queen B* (The Queen B*, #1)

Confessions of a Queen Bee
by
Crista Mchugh
(Website|Twitter)
Alexis Wyndham is the other type of Queen B—the Queen Bitch.

After years of being the subject of ridicule, she revels in her ability to make the in-crowd cower via the exposés on her blog, The Eastline Spy. Now that she's carved out her place in the high school hierarchy, she uses her position to help the unpopular kids walking the hallways.

Saving a freshman from bullies? Check.

Swapping insults with the head cheerleader? Check.

Falling for the star quarterback? So not a part of her plan.

But when Brett offers to help her solve the mystery of who’s posting X-rated videos from the girls’ locker room, she’ll have to swallow her pride and learn to see past the high school stereotypes she’s never questioned—until now.

**Thank you to the author, Crista_McHugh for giving me an E-arc of this book in exchange of an honest review**

Well, Color me surprised! I loved this book! I keep saying how contemporary books are not my cup of tea, but when I decided to actually pick and read one, I never get disappointed. I mean who wouldn't like a book that used Justin Bieber as a horror reference?

“Oh, sweetie, if I wanted to torture you, I’d go all Justin Bieber on you”

Owned me completely. JK.

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!




This Week's Question:
If you can step into one characters shoes (in a book) and be them for a day who would it be and why? Also if you want to be creative, what scene?
Suggested by Seeing Night Book Reviews

There are a lot of characters that I want to be on their own shoes, but I will choose the first character that comes in my mind...

I think I would like to be Juliette Ferrars from Shatter Me. Oh yes, her life was not perfect, far from it in fact. But I love how she grows throughout the story. She's so strong, literally she can cause Earth quake. Not to mention there were 2 hot guys fighting for your love, this is one of the few books that has ridiculous love triangle that I actually liked love and enjoy. So yeah, I didn't care about the scary world they're in, as long as I get to be with Warner, yeah, that's how hopeless In Love I am with Warner.. :)

If I want to be creative what scene?

Uhm, The scene in the boardroom table. If you know what I mean. **Bluses Furiously** Oh my, I miss Aaron Warner so much..
How about you?

Waiting on Wednesday #5: The Fate of Ten (Lorien Legacies #6)

It's Wednesday! And it is the day we think of the long list of book we wanted to read...Badly.

This week, my Waiting on Wednesday featured book will be.. "The Fate of Ten"

I honestly haven't been keeping tab in this book. Oh, don't get me wrong, this is actually one of my all time favorite fantasy sci-fi young adult book. The story line was great. All of the characters are admirable, both in books and in the movie. Yes, I didn't like the fact that they actually changed the story line and all in the movie adaptation, but I love the casting.. and I'am in love with Sam. So yeah..

Click here to read more why the excitement has calmed down for me.

Right now I just wanted to read this book just for the sake of finishing this once-upon-a-time my favorite book series. I just hope that I come around...

Expected Publication date: September 1, 2015 The Fate of Ten
by
Pittacus Lore
(Website|Twitter) The sixth book in the thrilling, action-packed, New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!

For years the Garde have fought the Mogadorians in secret. Now all of that has changed. The invasion has begun. If the Garde can't find a way to stop the Mogs, humanity will suffer the same fate as the Lorien: annihilation.

There is still hope. When the Elders sent the Garde to Earth, they had a plan—one which the Garde are finally starting to understand. In the climax of The Revenge of Seven, a group of the Garde traveled to an ancient pyramid in Mexico known to their people as the Sanctuary. There they awoke a power that had been hidden within our planet for generations. Now this power can save the world . . . or destroy it.

It will all depend on who wields it.

Book Review: Confess by Colleen Hoover

CONFESS
by
Colleen Hoover
(Website|Twitter)
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between the truth and lies.

Auburn Reed has her entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

"It's amazing how much distance one truth can create between two people"

I can personally relate to that..They said that The truth will set you free, it actually does, but you'll have to put everything at risk..

This Week's Question:
How would you pitch to the biz to make your favorite book into a movie?
Suggested by Girl of 1000 Wonders

I love the idea of turning my favorite books into movie or series, and they're too many to mention, I love watching films, movies and series alike, korean dramas and American series, but when I get to see those books actually come to life in big screen, I always get disappointed. I mean, I am not hard to please, I even like The Host, Carrie and The Hunger Games movies after all. I understand that the whole book can't be fit in a 2 hr movie, so I wasn't expecting that, I just wanted to at least get the characters right. The hair and eye colors, the mannerisms, and the expressions. Characters are one of the aspects that can make or break a book for me, so it does for a movie adaptation too .

No matter how many times I get disappointed, I still don't get tired of the idea of turning my favorite books into a movie or series. I mean, just look at The Mortal Instruments, the movie was kind of Okay for me, I love Simon Lewis, but a lot of people was disappointed with it, and then, all of a sudden a series is underway, although I am a little bit disappointed because they didn't retain the old Simon, I am still excited! The new characters are all amazing! Oh my Gosh,! **Drools all over the place**

How about you?

Waiting on Wednesday #4: Confessions of a Queen Bee + e-ARC COPY!!!

My "waiting-for-the-release-date" selection this week is: Confessions of a Queen Bee by Crista Mchugh.

Yes, this book is really out of my comfort zone. I don't really read contemporary romance high school novel because I am more of a sci-fi fantasy kind of girl.

But then I saw the cover in Goodreads, I have to admit, it was really catchy, I mean, just look at that... And then I read the summary, I was a little hesitant due to its genre but the Queen Bitch kind of convince me...

A couple of days later, there was a discussion post on who wants to have a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.. **Do a happy dance** Maybe it was destiny after all.. **Wink

I was meaning to feature this book on the Waiting on Wednesday last week, I don't know if it's against the silent rule of the meme to feature a book that you have an e-ARC copy? But anyway, I decided not to read it yet until I post this feature, and right after I click the "Publish" Button, I'll start reading and devouring every words this book has to offer... **PLEASE BE GOOD**
