Book Review: The Fire Sermon by Francesca Haig

Release Date: March 10th, 2015
Read: March 18th-23rd, 2015
Publisher: Gallery Books
Series: The Fire Sermon, #1
Format: Hardcover, 384 pages
Source: From publisher in exchange for honest review.



Description from GoodReads:


   When Zach and I were born our parents must have counted and recounted: limbs, fingers, toes. We were perfect. They would have been disbelieving: nobody dodged the split between Alpha and Omega.
Nobody.

   They were born together and they will die together.

   One strong Alpha twin and one mutated Omega; the only thing they share is the moment of their death.

   The Omegas live in segregation, cast out by their families as soon as their mutation becomes clear. Forced to live apart, they are ruthlessly oppressed by their Alpha counterparts.

   The Alphas are the elite. Once their weaker twin has been cast aside, they're free to live in privilege and safety, their Omega twin far from their thoughts.

   Cass and Zach are both perfect on the outside: no missing limbs, no visible Omega mutation. But Cass has a secret: one that Zach will stop at nothing to expose.

   The potential to change the world lies in both their hands. One will have to defeat the other to see their vision of the future come to pass, but if they're not careful both will die in the struggle for power.


Review:


   What if the person I was isn't someone I was meant to be?
   I was offered the chance to read The Fire Sermon from Simon and Shuster, and at first I was really excited. The problem for me first began when I read the first chapter.
   I'm not quite sure why The Fire Sermon was labeled as Young Adult, the whole book screamed Adult to me, the way the characters thought and acted told you that story anyway. Sometimes I think that some YA books are labeled as YA because of the age as the main character. That is how I felt about The Fire Sermon.
   The idea of the Alphas and Omegas was fabulous! I couldn't have been more interested, I think that's why I actually read the whole thing. Only having one live while the other did, just peaked my interest I guess.
   The Fire Sermon was an interesting read, while the idea was fun and new I will not be reading the sequel.

Book Review: Crash by Eve Silver

Release Date: June 9th, 2015
Read: June 2nd-3rd, 2015
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Series: The Game, #3
Format: ARC, 368 pages
Source: From McNally Robinson in exchange for an honest review for their Two Thumbs Up program



Description from GoodReads:


   Miki’s life is falling apart around her. Her dad and best friend are lying in the hospital. The Game is glitching, making missions more frequent and more deadly. And someone close to her is waiting for the right moment to betray her. 

   Miki feels like she’s hanging on by a thread and the only thing keeping her tethered is Jackson’s hand in hers. Yet telling him how much she needs him, how much she loves him, feels like the biggest challenge of all. And if Miki really wants the missions to end for everyone, she’ll have to let go and be ready to fight when the walls between the Game and reality come crashing down. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned, it’s that she’s got a whole lot left to lose.


Review:


   You always have a choice.
   I had won Rush, the first book in the series, in spring 2014. I didn't have a chance to read it until the September after, and I couldn't put it down. Immediately after, I RUShed (Pun intended), to the library to pick up Push, the second book in the series. Though I didn't enjoy Push as much as I did Rush, I was still looking forward to Crash.
   Crash was a slow read for me, while I went through it like a breeze the story itself was going nowhere. The book constantly felt like I was being pulled back and fourth between "The Game" and a major occurrence that happened at the end of Push. That was basically the book for me, because Silver didn't even do anything with the two events so the storyline went no where.
   The book introduced a bunch of new things that I felt were unnecessary to the plot, sort of like Silver didn't have an idea of where the storyline should go so she just threw something together. Not to mention how the series ending didn't end up making sense at all and could be seen as confusing.
   The storyline may have not been for me, but Silver sure does have a nice writing style. I'm not sure if I would have finished the book if it was otherwise.
   Rush had great potential for me, even when the rest of the series didn't, even though I didn't enjoy the series overall I'm still glad I read Rush

Book Review: The Heir by Kiera Cass

Release Date: May 5th, 2015
Read: May 13-14th, 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen
Series: The Selection, #4
Format: Paperback, 352 pages, International Edition
Source: Bought


Description from GoodReads:


   Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.

   But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.

   Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.


Review:


   I only have one heart, and I'm saving it.
   When I heard there was going to be a fourth book in the Selection series, I was ecstatic. As much as I loved the ending to The One I still felt as if they still had a few loose ends to fix up. So this was perfect! Along with the idea of meeting Maxon and America's kids, I was 100% in.
   Eadlyn is not her mother. If you went into The Heir believing that they'd practically be the same person then you probably didn't enjoy the book as much. Or well that's the feel I got from the book and my sister anyway. We both went into the book with different expectations and that's how it turned out. I loved that Eadlyn was so different compared to her mother, looks and personality wise. I had loved Queen Amberly, and was deeply saddened when she passed in the third book so when Kiera described Eadlyn as a doppleganger to Amberly it felt like we got her back in some ways.
    I loved the stand Eadlyn took when she went through with The Selection, I understood why she could have looked a bit heartless. But honestly, with this Selection it was different and I'm glad Kiera treated it this way. Even with guards everywhere, the selected could have easily taken advantage of Eadlyn if she didn't stand up for herself. Kiera even makes a point of this in an event in the book. So to me a headstrong princess wasn't the worst thing.
   You'd think after reading The Heir everyone would have one guy they were rooting for, but I am at a crossroads. Honestly, I'm enjoying this group of selected better then I did with the original trilogy, and noooo it's not because they were gorgeous. With the original Selection the king and his people selected the girls for Maxon themselves rather then Eadlyn randomly picking hers. So this time they didn't have any political feelings to them, which was really nice, the group felt really diverse to me.
   I could probably go on forever about my feelings for The Heir, but I'll just let you see for yourself when you read it!
   I will 100% be picking up the sequel to The Heir, or rather the fifth book in the series when it releases. I am to deep into the series to have any chance of giving up now, especially with THAT CLIFFHANGER AHHHH.

  P.S At this point I have one real theory about the book, I think Kile's sister put his name in the Selection. She's just seems like the sort of person to do that.

Book Review: Rogue by Julie Kagawa

Release Date: April 28th, 2015
Read: May 9-13th, 2015
Publisher: HarlequinTeen
Series: Talon, #2
Format: Hardcover, 464 pages
Source: Bought



Description from GoodReads:




   Ember Hill left the dragon organization Talon to take her chances with rebel dragon Cobalt and his crew of rogues. But Ember can't forget the sacrifice made for her by the human boy who could have killed her—Garret Xavier Sebastian, a soldier of the dragonslaying Order of St. George, the boy who saved her from a Talon assassin, knowing that by doing so, he'd signed his own death warrant. 



   Determined to save Garret from execution, Ember must convince Cobalt to help her break into the Order's headquarters. With assassins after them and Ember's own brother helping Talon with the hunt, the rogues find an unexpected ally in Garret and a new perspective on the underground battle between Talon and St. George. 


   A reckoning is brewing and the secrets hidden by both sides are shocking and deadly. Soon Ember must decide: Should she retreat to fight another day…or start an all-out war?


Review:


Relax, oh paranoid one. I doubt there'll be Talon agents hiding in the potted plants.
   I think I've come to the conclusion that this series is just not for me. I know I loved every other piece of work that Kagawa's produced, but something with this one just bothers me waaaay too much.  The series just had too much of a rebelling/Government overthrowing feel rather then a dragon feel, and at this point I just can't stand those anymore. I've had my fill of them for a long time.
   Rogue had some of the same problems Talon did, like Riley. We got to know him a lot more in Rogue and one thing that I noticed was his age. The book kept having chapters where we'd go back in time and see Riley as a Basilisk, like 12 years back. If Riley was a 'hatchling' then that would have made him at least 15-16, adding the additional 12 years that would make Riley 27/28 years old. This means a 27/28 year old has feelings for a 15/16 year old. I am not okay with this, this screams pedophile in my book.  Even if dragons lived longer and age wasn't much of a difference, this was definitely a nope for me. This along with the 'inner dragon' urges, I just couldn't find myself truly enjoying the book.
   Ember in Rogue came off as a immature little girl, and honestly I felt sad that she was written like this for Rogue. In Talon at least she had the sense to know when not to do something or if it was too dangerous. In this one she was just a mess. Nope, I could have done without her character.
   Where Rogue did have some problems for me, it was still a fantastically written book. Kagawa knows how to keep her viewers interested, even when you utterly despise two of the three main characters.
   This series may not be for me, but I'm at the point where I'm too invested in the series that I just have to continue it. I will be picking up Soldier when it releases.

Book Review: Sisters of Blood and Spirit by Kady Cross

Sisters of Blood and Spirit by Kady Cross


Release Date: March 31st, 2015
Read: March 14-15th, 2015
Publisher: Harlequin Teen 
Series: Sisters of Blood and Spirit, #1
Format: ARC, 288 pages
Source: Author in exchange for an honest review/ book pendants



Description from GoodReads:


   Wren Noble is dead—she was born that way. Vibrant, unlike other dead things, she craves those rare moments when her twin sister allows her to step inside her body and experience the world of the living. 

   Lark Noble is alive but often feels she belongs in the muted Shadow Lands—the realm of the dead. Known as the crazy girl who talks to her dead sister, she doesn't exactly fit in with the living, though a recent suicide attempt and time in a psych ward have proved to her she's not ready to join her sister in the afterlife. 

   Now the guy who saved Lark's life needs her to repay the favor. He and his friends have been marked for death by the malevolent spirit of a vicious and long-dead serial killer, and the twins—who should know better than to mess with the dead—may be their only hope of staying alive. 


Review:


   Don't look. Don't Look.
   I saw the cover for Sisters of Blood and Spirit and just knew I had to read it. It immediately became one of my most anticipated books of the year. I requested it, and asked everyone I knew if they had a copy, then finally Kady Cross offered to trade me for pendants. I was ecstatic!
   I had originally wanted SoBaS for its beautiful cover but boy was the book itself fabulous too. I loved both sisters, Wren the dead girl with life, and Lark the sister alive but not wanting to live.
   The ghost Cross created creeped me the heck out, it had the perfect balance of eerie and disturbing. Along with the cuts and scratches you couldn't see, I had the chills. It was glorious.
   The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the fact the book was supposed to have a shadowlands where the dead people live, but the only thing we saw there was the library. We didn't really learn anything about it either. So I hope the sequel will teach us a lot more about it.
   Overall Sisters of Blood and Spirit was a stupendous read, and I can't wait to learn more about the shadowlands in the sequel!

Book Review: Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Release Date: August 14th, 2014
Read: March 27th- April 1st, 2015
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Series: Covenant, #1
Format: Paperback, 383 pages
Source: Won


Description from GoodReads:


   The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi - pure-bloods - have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals - well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

   Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:

   Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

   Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem - staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck. 


Review:


   Is this what you wanted?
Greek mythology is a thing of mine, I just love it. Whenever I hear about a new YA book featuring it, I make a bee-line to get myself a copy. With Half-Blood I couldn't do that, I had the hardest time trying to find a copy. I checked all the places I would normally would get books and had no luck, it wasn't till I checked Book Depository that I had some luck. They were out of stock, but at least they carried it. Eventually I ended up winning a copy, a UK copy. So now I am happy and content.
   I love Jennifer L. Armentrout, I really do but this one wasn't one of my favourites. It reminded me too much of Vampire Academy, Alex's sass, the loving the instructor, it was just too similar.
   Besides that Half-Blood was a nicely written books, I'll definitely be picking up the rest of the books. I'm excited to see a bit more of Seth and hopefully some greek gods!

Description from GoodReads:


   Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did.

Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love? 


Review:


We'll stain this kingdom red.
   I had seen the commotion on Twitter about this series before I had actually started reading the series, most of the commotion was the fuss about getting an ARC of Heir of Fire at BEA 2014. With everyone freaking out about it I knew it was time to start the series. Like I said in my Crown of Midnight review, I was not a fan of Throne of Glass but I continued on to reading Crown of Midnight anyway, which I had adored. Hopping onto Indigo.ca I ordered this baby in seconds.
   If it is possible I think I liked Heir of Fire more then I liked Crown of Midnight. In HoF we were introduced to more characters, some of whom told their story and were not just there for a bit of brief background information or to foreshadow further events. Manon immediately became one of my favourite characters with all her wickedness, being an Ironwitch made her even better. Then there was Rowan, oh boy. I hope that ship sails.
   I grew tried of Chaol and Dorian in Heir of Fire, I felt like Chaol had his chance but betrayed Celeana. Aedion even though he was a new character, I grew tired of as well. I couldn't stand him, he creeped me out in a way that I just can't explain.
   The events in Heir of Fire all had a specific meaning and took a large part of the Throne of Glass series, even if you knew it or not. With Heir of Fire you can feel the embers starting to burn and preparing for the explosion that will be the end of the series.
   Throne of Glass made me intrigued, Crown of Midnight made me weep, Heir of Fire made me break, I wonder what Queen of Shadows will do to me?
   Queen of Shadows is expected to be released September 1st, 2015, and I will be spending every minute till then putting my life back together after what Heir of Fire did to me.

Recommendation Fridays: Need Series by Carrie Jones

   
   A few years ago I came across the Need Series by Carrie Jones and fell in love. I fell in love with it when the first three books had been released, so I had to wait a little over year for the fourth and last book in the series. The wait was definitely worth it though because even today it is one of my favourite reads as well as one of my favourite Pixies reads. I highly recommend giving them a try!

   The series would probably be best for people who like the following books;
Fantasy, Paranormal, Pixies, Fairies, Norse Mythology, Shapeshifters

But it is also a great series for anyone!





Need by Carrie Jones


Release Date: December 23rd, 2008
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Series: Need, #1



Description from GoodReads:


   Pain shoots through my head. Fireworks. Explosions. All inside my brain. The white world goes dark and I know what's about to happen.


   Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now.

   She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara.

Description from GoodReads:


   He smiles. It's a wicked smile. Kind but not kind. Handsome but dangerous. Feral almost. I can see why Nick nearly killed him, Nick...
I ask again, "Why were you in the road?"
"I was waiting for you."


   Zara and her friends thought they'd solved the pixie problem. And they did - sort of. The pixie's are all locked away, deep in the woods. But the king's needs grow stronger each day that he is in captivity, while his control over his people weakens. And it's enough to draw a new king into town. Astley claims he is different. He claims there are pixies who can live peacefully with humans, that it doesn't have to be all violence and nastiness all the time. Zara wants to believe him...until Astley also claims that she is fated to be his queen.

   There is no way Zara would ever turn pixie. And she's got good friends who will make sure of that. Besides, she and Nick are so in love they're practically inseparable. But when they very thing Zara wants to protect most is exactly what's at risk, she is forced to make choices she never imagined....

Publisher: Bloomsbury
Series: Need, #3



Description from GoodReads:


   Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla? And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't turned into just any pixie. . . She's Astley's queen.

Series: Need, #4


Description from GoodReads:


   Zara is at the center of an impending apocalypse. True, she’s successfully rescued Nick from Valhalla, but it simply isn’t enough. Evil pixies are ravaging Bedford, and they need much more than one great warrior; they need an army. Zara isn’t sure what her role is anymore. She’s not just fighting for her friends; she’s also a pixie queen. And to align her team of pixies with the humans she loves will be one of her greatest battles yet. Especially since she can’t even reconcile her growing feelings for her pixie king . . .



   Like I said above, it is one of my all time favourites so I hope you all give it a try! And let me know if you do! I'd love to hear what you think of it.
