Review: If You Find Me

Wow. This book is stunning. Dark yet also light. Pretty yet also with ugly secrets. Every page reveals a little more of what is unexpected. This book is the best I had read in quite a while. It is mindblowing. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph will...

Review: Hollywood Hustle (Son of the Mob #2)

Hollywood Hustle is a huge DISAPPOINTMENT. DON'T READ THIS BOOK. IT'S SUCH A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. DON'T EVEN BOTHER READING IT. Why? Problem #1: Less humor as the previous book. Son of The Mob was delightful and free-spirited. This book was more serious...

Review: Revolution 19 (Revolution 19 #1)

Wow... What an interesting read. Not the best one, but an interesting one. I found Insignia much more entertaining. Revolution 19... The robots call it Revolution 19. Revolution 18 and Revolution 19 are the two revolutions that happen in the book along with an unknown revolution. Every...

Review: Breaking Point (Article 5 #2)

The second book in the series. I felt that a recap in the beginning would have been useful. For many parts of the book I was clueless until I remember the events that happened in the first book. It was about halfway when I just decided to pull out Wikipedia...

Review: The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave #1)

This book has been just sitting on my bookshelf for a long time while I was debating whether or not to read it. The synopsis was intriguing. The synopsis was killer especially this part: "To give up or to get up." The cover of the 5th Wave is...

Review: The Kill Order (The Maze Runner #0.5)

After reading The Maze Runner series over a year ago, it's an understatement to say that I completely and totally understand The Kill Order. Truthfully, I didn't understand many parts until a dim light bulb goes on in my head. The Kill Order was much more interesting...

Review: Vigilante Nights

I'll try not to reveal anything big. Okay, first of all, mental bond? Lucas and Silver are Fraternal Twins. If they were Identical Twins, the story would make much more sense, because identical twins share the same DNA and are practically the same. It sounds kind...

Review: Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin #1)

The synopsis slightly exaggerates the expression "For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?" The book only involves that expression for only one chapter. *raise eyebrows* Out of all books I love, Grave Mercy is one book...
