Golden

By Jessi Kirby

This book took my breath away! Jessi Kirby doesn't play with words, she plays with emotions. Her stories don't have complicate plots, but subtle ones. Her prose is so beautiful that it leaves you breathless, the edge of her words cuts deep into your soul.. You can never have enough of her stories and I can never put into words…

When We Wake

Book #1 in When We Wake Series

By Karen Healey

This is a lot of rambling instead of an actual review, but I wanted to put on paper (oh well) screen some thoughts before I get to read other books and forget about this one. So.. the truth is that the story had a lot of potential – I did enjoy reading it and I think that many people might…

Hunted

Book #3 in The Guardian Legacy Series

By Ednah Walters

This is a series that many people don’t know about, but one that I’ve enjoyed enormously over the years. I fell in love first with Awakened a few years ago and I can tell you that the book had me laughing more than not and staying up late to finish it. Then Betrayed came over with…

The Host – book and movie

Book #1 in The Host Series

By Stephenie Meyer

This is a special post because the first review I’ve ever written has been about “The Host“. But this is not the only reason why this story is so special to me – it also touches a theme that I like very much: humanity. If you’ve followed my reviews you might know that this…

Flat-Out Matt (novella)

Book #1.5 in Flat-Out Love Series

By Jessica Park

“Julie Seagle just ‘checked in’ to your heart”. In fact that was Matt.. and I’m talking pretty much about my heart here ;)) I didn’t quite acknowledge my deep feelings for “Flat-Out Love”, not until I picked up this tiny book and realized how much I loved the characters, how much I missed them all. It was always…

Dare You To

Book #2 in Pushing the Limits Series

By Katie McGarry

From time to time I like to read love stories. I like to read stories that make me smile, stories about first love and hope and innocence. I like to read stories about opposite people, from very different backgrounds, that discover that there is something that can bind their worlds. From time to time I like to forget about…

Unremembered

Book #1 in Unremembered Series

By Jessica Brody

Unremembered was one of the books I (very much) looked forward to this year. With a gorgeous cover and a tremendous description, it grabbed my attention from the first time I saw it and I was really happy when I got the chance to finally read it. The idea behind it is…

Out of The Easy

By Ruta Sepetys

Heartbreakingly beautiful! You know, when I have a hard day or a hard week (or I feel like I’m having a hard life even though I so obviously don’t) I go back to some of my favorite authors, pick a book from them and so I am reminded that life is still good. That without the mess we wouldn’t be able…

Requiem

Book #3 in Delirium Series

By Lauren Oliver

This is not an ending, this is just the beginning. Yes, we are saying our farewells to our beloved characters, but for them this is just a door opening towards freedom. I notice that I am once more writing my review backwards, but that’s OK, as this is what I liked the most about this last…

The Eternity Cure

Book #4 in Blood of Eden Series

By Julie Kagawa

I repeat: I.Do.Not.Like.Vampire.Books! And you see that rating up there? It should say 6 stars, but I don't know where in the Fringe the last one might be. I should report it missing because in fact.. I.ADORED.THIS.BOOK! After reading this story I might have left only one neuron (the others have gone looking for Eden again) and it's a ……

Boundless

Book #3 in Unearthly Series

By Cynthia Hand

It’s always hard for me to say goodbye to a series.. To know that I’ll never meet again the characters I got to know so well, I’ll never live with them new adventures, there will be no more secrets to discover (in this case no more dreams to haunt us), there will be no cliffhanger to keep me waiting for…

Prodigy

Book #2 in Legend Series

By Marie Lu

What an AMAZING story! It’s a bit unusual for me to like more the second book in a series, but as much as I liked Legend it will never compare with this lovely book… Because, you see, Prodigy is simply (and amazingly) good: great characters, strong world building, a lot more action and an amount of…

Pivot Point

Book #1 in Pivot Point Series

By Kasie West

Can someone please come and erase my memory such that I can fall in love again with this story in 2014? I really have a hard time believing that I will be able to sit still and wait a whole year for my favorite part of this story. I am even scared. I saw Addie fall in love 2 times…

Timekeeper

Book #2 in Timeless Series

By Alexandra Monir

Oh dear. I can’t find my words. I’ve waited for this book for so long, wishing for it to be mind-blowing, full of twits and mystery and magical history and so I got to read it and then… I hate myself for not loving this book, I hate myself for setting up such high expectations – that’s the…

The Lost Girl

By Sangu Mandanna

If only tears could talk, they would tell you how much I loved this story.. They would tell you that pages can radiate emotions, that words can create feelings, that beauty can hurt. If tears could talk.. they would tell you how they dropped on this book drowning smiles in emotions, drowning sadness and turning it into in…

UnWholly

Book #2 in Unwind Dystology Series

By Neal Shusterman

A few years ago I read my first dystopian book (Unwind) and it really blew my mind. The world settling, the characters, the storyline, everything was perfect and in that moment I wished for the book to be part of a series. My wish came true:  a sequel (for one of the most emotional stories)…

What’s Left of Me

Book #1 in The Hybrid Chronicles Series

By Kat Zhang

Imagine 100% identical twins. In the world we live in, this is quite imposible, there will always be a difference in the line of the hair, the pose of the shoulders, the shape of the eyes, the ears, the mouth or something else that would make them look different.. be different. But pretend that you have in front of you physically-identical twins – how…

Through to you

By Emily Hainsworth

Well, this was an interesting story. These days I try to read all different books, and so far I’ve managed to get my hands on some very interesting and refreshing stories. I’ve come to see that grief and paranormal/sci-fi can work pretty well together – this book is a nice example. THE GOOD The concept: Two…

Severed

Book #2 in Fated Series

By Sarah Alderson

You see, this is what I love on a series: for the second book to be better than the first one; for it to grab my attention, to keep me on the edge of the seat waiting to see what new surprise will come next; for it to break my heart a bit, to make me feel all different emotions from…

Gravity

Book #1 in The Taking Series

By Melissa West

Oh, it felt so good, so personal to read my name in this story. Ari.. Ari.. Every time I read this name it filled me with joy and my heart started to beat a bit faster. It was like the book had been written just for me 😀 Well, you can’t blame me for all this excitement, because it’s…

The Sea of Tranquility

By Katja Millay

Sometimes there are books that take my breath away, sometimes my emotions flood my soul, sometimes words cut deep into my heart, sometimes stories don’t want me to let go, sometimes I fall in love… with a character, with a paragraph, with an author… sometimes I just feel like falling. Deep and raw, that’s how this story is.

Days of Blood & Starlight

Book #2 in Daughter of Smoke & Bone Series

By Laini Taylor

  Bloody hell!   This book is unbelievably wonderful, wonderfully amazing, amazingly beautiful, beautifully shocking, shockingly unpredictable.. And I could go on and on, praising it because this book is a masterpiece, a new wonder of the world next to the pyramids and the Great Wall of China and other natural or hand-made beauties. I couldn’t stop reading it.. Really.

Flutter

By Gina Linko

It is really hard to talk about this book as I am not really sure of my feelings for it. The premise was great (someting between time-travel and something else, a little boy giving clues that could save Emery’s life (and maybe not even hers), tons of mystery, a bit of action and some young romance.. )…

Destroy me (novella)

Book #1.5 in Shatter Me Series

By Tahereh Mafi

I saw right through him. You see, I love it when my heart is right.. and right now it still loves Warner to pieces. Yes, he’s the bad guy. No, he doesn’t need to convince me otherwise. If I liked this amazing and complex character in Shatter Me, well now I feel like I’ve been bewitched by him,…

The Raven Boys

Book #1 in The Raven Cycle Series

By Maggie Stiefvater

This is one of those books that you need to read half way through in order to enjoy the other half.. And so I did – enjoyed and loved it. From the beginning there was something eerie about the action, the characters, all their secrets, the magic binding them all and the prophecies that threatened to tear them…

Quintana of Charyn

Book #3 in Lumatere Chronicles Series

By Melina Marchetta

This story took my breath away! If there is a book that I can read with my eyes filled with tears and my heart full of happiness, it is one of Marchetta's stories.. Her words 'sing' to us [...] - it's a symphony of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love.. and hope.

Seraphina

Book #1 in Seraphina Series

By Rachel Hartman

In all the stories I’ve read or heard about, I don’t remember ever reading about dragons and humans living together. So, to say that I was intrigued about this book it’s quite an understandment. The good: The world setling in Seraphina is wonderful, rich and captivating. The reader is able to understand everything step by step, to see the world…
