Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout review/discussion

Overall rating: 85%  I'll give you a brief synopsis of the book. Katy moves to West Virginia with her mother three year after her father dies of cancer. Her neighbors consist of Dee and Daemon, the twins. Daemon is moody and controlling and Dee is bubbly and eager to make friends. Katy gets attacked by an old man (he asks her for help with his car and she complies, obviously no one told her not to talk to strangers. Daemon comes to her rescue. He does this a few times (it's kind of creepy but you get passed that he's pretty) and eventually he freezes time. He becomes a giant light bulb too (he doesn't sparkle, he glows.) Then people (well not people) start hunting Daemon trough Katy, Daemon freaks out and commands her to stay close to him. It's very twilight-y. It's cheesy, I know. But it's cheesy in a way that makes you chuckle not cheesy as in hide in a corning and cringe for centuries. I enjoyed it. I feel like the author intended for it to be ch

August Book Haul

A lot of the books I read this month were library books, eBooks or were in my TBR pile. These are just the books I purchased  this moth. I'll be sure to post an "August Reads" later on so be on the lookout for that! Earlier this month I picked up the first two books in The Lunar Chronicles at my local library. I was entranced with the story line, the world and the characters. I fell in love. In two days I finished both books and was eager to read the third. In a crazed trance I hurried to open up the library website to put a hold on Cress. But alas I was the fourth person on the waiting list. With plan A having failed I came up with plan B. Buying the eBook on my laptop. I started reading around 6 PM that day and I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning. It was horrible. My eyes stung, I had a blood test to take at 9 AM the next day and I still hadn't finished the book. After taking the blood test, (with minimal tears!) I rewarded myself with a trip to

Waiting on in 2014

So 2014 is nearly over and there are still quite a few books coming out before the year is up. Here are the ones I am most anticipating! Heir of Fire is set to be released on September second. I am beyond ecstatic waiting for this book. It is the third book in a six book series by Sarah J Maas. It being the third in the series book I can't give you a description with the risk of spoilers being imminent. Basically the series is about this super badass and hilarious female assassin, Celaena Sardothien. She loves to read and she adores fashion and all things pretty. There are also two main love interests Prince Dorian and Captain of the Guard, Chaol. It's a high fantasy young adult novel and it's one of my absolute favourites. Celaena is funny and kickass and everything else I aspire to be. (Unfortunately blood makes me queasy so I'm just going to continue living my dreams through these books.) Here is the goodreads link to the first book if you haven't read it
