Trinity My Review of:
Arielle Immortal Awakening (Immortal Rapture, #1) by Lilian Roberts http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I recieved a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

(SPOILER ALERT!)
First off, let me just say that this was the cutest story I have ever read!! I really did love this book! It did seem unrealistic in some parts, but other than that this book was amazing!

Arielle:
Arielle was my favorite character in this book! I did think something was going to come up about her powers to feel what others feel, but she was overall my favorite character. I was surprised she hasn't told her best friends or Sebastion about her powers (I am hoping that is in the next book ;)

Eva:
Eva was awesome! I wish I had her powers, to see in the fture and talk with ghosts is amazing! It is amazing how all 3 best friends ended up all having a lover at the same time :D

Gabrielle:
I honestly thought all three of them were going to have powers, not just Eva and Arielle but Gabrielle was one of those "boyish" girls :) I was pretty shocked on what happened between her and Marcus, and his past just creeped me out! O.o

Annabel:
Get over it girl! She is so obsessed on getting revenge on Sebastion that (I think she was the one..) who turned Sebastion as an immortal! I can't see what devious plans she has next! :)

Sebastion:
Man, what I wouldn't give to have a guy like Sebastion! The only thing that I felt weird about him, was when he ended all his calls, emails with Arielle saying "Miss me" all the time. I kept thinking that since he has powers, that when he says miss me, he is able to persuade her. He is seriously the jealous type and I find that cute :)

Thank you so much Lilian for allowed me to read and review Arielle: Immortal Awakening. I am looking forward to the next book.

Trinity My Review of:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Rating - 10 Gold Stars

I do not recall this book being this good as I read it before. This book made me cry around the end. I literally dropped the book with my mouth hanging open as I finished. I was surprised by the ending, this was an amazing book! I would re-read all the time if I could!

Bod:
Wow, Bod was amazing. He is so smart, and I am surprised of all the things he did when he was young. He was simply amazing, I have never in my life read a character like him before! (In a good way) I loved him so much. He was a curious, intelligent, and cool kid/guy.

Scarlett:
Scarlett wasn't all that great in my opinion. Who tries to run away from someone who saved her life? I would have loved being Bod's friend. I couldn't believe how it turned out in the ending.

The Man Jack:
Creepy. That is the only word I can describe him as. Well, I just thought of a few more: Creepy, Scary, Mean, Freaky, etc. He was the only thing that really frightened me in the book. I was seriously creeped out by this man. Especially what happened when he had "information" about what Scarlett was asking him when he was pretending to be another man. Man, that was really creepy.

Overall, I enjoyed this book so much better than I did when I first read this in January. I do not understand how I gave this book 4 * before, when it clearly deserved 10 gold stars. But since it does not allow me to give this book 10 gold stars, I stuck with 5 gold stars.

Trinity My Review of: City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2) by Cassandra Clare


I loved this book! At first it was ok, and I enjoyed Book 1 better (City of Bones) but as the book went on, I ended up enjoying it much better than book 1. I would recommend this book to everyone!

Clary:
Clary annoyed me a little in the book, but she was awesome. There were some times when I wanted to punch her (even though I cant) when (view spoiler) But other than that I loved her.

Jace:
I am desperately in love with Jace. Lord do I wish Jace was my age and in my school, ah :)
Jace is seriously my favorite character in the book, I love his humor! I hated the ending so much with what he said -.-

Simon:
Go to Maia! Follow your conscience and do not go back to Clary, let her be with Jace! I was about to burst into tears when (view spoiler)

Valentine:
For some reason, the way I picture Valentine is that warlock guy from Wizard 101 LOL! The one with silk hair and very skinny. I don't know, it's the way I picture him when I read.

Alec:
I seriously thought he and Magnus were going to kiss in a scene and I was getting ready to gag. I thought Alec was so much cooler in this book than in the first one.

There was a lot of twists and turns in this book but it was awesome! I can;t wait to get onto Book 3 City of Glass.

Trinity My Review of: Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini


I am still trying to get all my emotions out of the way on how this book ended! I was deciding whether or not to join in on a buddy read in one of my groups that were reading this book, but boy am I glad I did! I loved this book sooo much!!!!

Helen:
I do not like that her name is "Helen", I just don't like reading that name for some reason, but beyond that, Helen is awesome! I seem to be liking more characters by every book I read. But Helen annoyed me a few times through the book but boy do I wish I was her! First: She has gorgeous LUCAS! (view spoiler) Second: She has amazing powers! (view spoiler)

Lucas:
Ah, I am falling in love. So far, even though I fall in love with almost all the guys I read about, I think Lucas is by far the best out of all them. At first I was getting mad at him because (view spoiler) I just wish he was apart of my life. Is it so bad to wish he was in my life?

Overall, this book was 20 out of 20 stars good! I recommend this book to everybody who likes romance, schemes and all that powery stuff :D

Trinity My Review of: Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins

Well...I really enjoyed this book! I was not thinking of reading this book till later, maybe even next year but I am glad I chose to read it now!

Anna:
Anna is obviously my favorite character. I loved that the point of view was based on her, and it was in first POV so that gave it a bonus! She is not afraid to talk straight to Étienne St. Clair which is what I loved!

Étienne St. Clair:
Ah! Why do I keep falling in love with the main male character! Gah! Anyways, St. Clair is amazing! I am trying to find ways to describe him without using any spoilers! I think amazing just sums it up!

I guess I don't really know how to explain how much I loved this book based through this review but I am just going to say I loved it!! I highly recommend this book, and if you do read it, please tell me what you thought about it!

Trinity My Review of: Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

During this book, it did take it awhile until it turned into yet another page turner for me. The ending did not really shock me, it was kind of obvious that that would happen but it is still great to know that it happened. I will not spoil it for you guys (:

Grace:
Grace is your ordinary (almost) teenager, she would be completely normal if she did not live in a town with a bunch of wolves and based on the fact that she has been bitten before, and nothing ever happened to her. I am anxious to read the next book in the series but sadly it will have to wait until I can finish a whole list of books I need to complete. Anyways, I hope to read a lot more of Grace in the next book with more interesting reasons on why she has not changed.

Sam:
Sam is a sweety. Although, he did not make it onto my list of my dream guys. He is very caring and so very sweet. Any girl would be lucky to have him, I just don't like the eyes. They say he has yellow eyes when a wolf and human but when I read he had yellow eyes. I don't think of it as normal eye colors, no I picture glowing eyes! I can't seem to picture him with normal yellow eyes for some reason, so I just stayed with brown haha! I wonder what is going to happen with him through the next book, I have yet to read the summary of the next book but I sure am going to do that right now to see where Sam and Grace takes me next!

Olivia:
I am still trying to understand why she was so happy with what happened to her. I would have felt like hell if it was me that has to go through with it! I hope she comes back through the next book as well! Ok, I think I might have to fit Linger in my schedule somewhere to read the book.

Jake: -Spoiler-
Huh, no shock there. I was surprised by the way it went for him. I think the part that shocked me the most was when Maggie wrote "he died 15 minutes later" so easily. I was taken aback and had to reread it several times to actually move on to the next page. I honestly thought Jake was going to be one of those dangerous wolves, but I was surprised to find out how well he was acting. Although I know he was struggling, he wasn't like "ah I'm gonna kill you" like I thought he was going to be doing lol!

So overall, I really need to go onto the next book, Linger, I hope to get into it somewhere this month or it may have to wait until November. Let me know below if you have read the second the book and if it was as good as Shiver, or better, or worse!

Trinity My Review of: Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick


I have read a lot of great and not so great reviews about this book, I felt left out because almost all of my friends read this book and I haven't read it yet. But I am happy to say I read it and LOVED it!!

Nora:
Nora is very intelligent, when everyone would be telling her all these new details about Patch, she knew what they all meant! I did not understand what they were talking about most of the times until Nora said it over but in a different way. I would say I would love Nora to be my best friend, she is just so awesome!

Patch:
I am so confused! Does he have a different name!?! Didn't Rixon say they gave him that nickname? I want to know his real name!! I was really upset with Patch later on when Nora finds more things about him that got me really pissed off. But then when he explained it all, I felt much better LOL!

Me after finding out about his past: "I hate you! I thought you were supposed to be a good guy!
Me after he explains his past: "Aw, I love you again!

Vee: -SPOILER-
Ah!! I disliked Vee very much! So many parts were getting me real upset with her, where I wanted to stop reading the book. It is so retarded on how she assumes it was Patch who hurt her and kept telling Nora to stay away from him (yes I know because of what the other lady did but still!) but when Nora warns her about Jules and the other guy (sorry forgot his name) Vee doesn't care, no, she just goes on and hangs out with them all the time. Even when Nora tried to convince her about the murder situation Vee didn't care or worry about it. She just kept wanting to hang out with the guys. Gah! I really did not like Vee at all. To be honest, if this book was good but not as good as it is, I would have dropped probally 2 stars just because of Vee.

I have no idea what lies next for Patch and Nora in Crescendo but I sure am going to find out!

Trinity My Review of:
Love, Tink (the complete series) by Elle Strauss https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free for a read-to-review basis. Thanks to author Elle Strauss and Netgalley.)

This was surprisingly easy to read. The chapters were very small, but a lot happens with those few pages. This book was cute and funny at the same time! This would have been a five star book for me, but some things just didn't intrigue me. I was very interested in continuing the story though to see where "Belle" (Tinkerbell) and Peter were going to take me . I actually for some reason hoped the way Peter was going to find out about Belle would be if she ever said "Blink" (I think I am going to start saying that, it's a cute catch phrase :D)

Belle; Tinkerbell:
Belle was an okay character. I thought there were times when she cried for just no reason. If she sees Peter with Wendy she just starts to cry! I kept begging her to pretend she was having a good time or something so no one would see her crying! That part really annoyed me, but on the other hand, I love how funny she and Jangle were when they left Neverland to New York, I just could not stop laughing. I am still trying to think of what size Tinkerbell was, in the beginning I pictured her as a tiny doll size, but when Elle mentions different heights and stuff I was truly confused.

Peter:
I actually like the fact that Peter did not want to stay in Neverland the rest of his life like I saw in the movies. I guess what surprised me the most was when he said to himself that he didn't like Wendy in the way she liked him, but he still ended up dating her! I feel that way through books and in real life. There are probably other girls (boys) you would like to date but you end up dating the girl (boy) who don't like? I never understood that. But anyways, Peter was different from the movie version, he was better in my opinion. I liked the way how Elle took this book in another direction!

This book was really cute and very easy to read. For this type of book, it would be the one you want to read when you have nothing else to read. I enjoyed it but I would mostly likely reread it when I have nothing else in hand.
