heartbreak, and unrequited love. 

Many of the poems and letters are inspired by my own experience

with love and heartbreak

enjoy this work of art 

as much as I enjoyed creating it

and may these words give comfort to those with broken hearts 

and entertain those who appreciate reading about love, 

the not so sunny side of it 

and 

letters of the heart.

Song of The Moon Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Artemis has spent her whole life as an outcast.

Most of the people in her town either don't like her or are afraid of her.

Her only and best friend, Bret and her father 

are really the only companions she's ever had in her whole life. 

Until the man from her dreams (literally) shows up claiming to be her one true mate.

Artemis's life is about to change and for better or worse she has to learn to 

let go of her old ways and come to terms with who and what she really is.

But can she forget about everything she thought was true about her life

and accept the fact that she isn't human?

Could she really live her life with a man who is clearly 

as dangerous as the world he lives in?

***

Why does this book get four starts?

Well... because it is flipping amazing that's why!

Seriously though I love/hate this book.... well okay at fist it may have been love/hate
But not because some part were boring
or that there was anything wrong with the way it was written nooo
but because somethings were a little hard to accept.
If you were raised in the human world
and believed you were human for your whole life I would think that you would be pretty ticked off that the supernatural beings are killing off humans and taking them as slaves so that they can take over the world for themselves. 

I know I know it's the old lets take over the world play

but come on when was the last time someone actually used that 

..... 

i'll wait

.....

it's been Forever!

and I think that Catherine Banks did an Amazing job here.

After awhile - against my better judgement- I got on board with the whole 

lets make humans our slave gig.

Also I really wanted to hate Ares
-with his whole *caveman voice* "me alpha you obey or i'll strike you down" attitude-
 but how could you when you're being forced to love him. 

after a while you start to accept his behavior because you know he isn't human,
he's a wolf
 a very powerful wolf
and there are some rules that must be followed
if you are to survive in his world.

If you enjoyed Vampire Academy and maybe even Becoming Alpha 

you would most likely fall in love with this Saga as well.

The characters in this book do not pretend to be human
and I think that's what I love the most about this story
 It makes this world more believable. 

The relationship between Artemis and Ares is amazing  as well.

she know he's her one true mate but 

she was brought up human and is determined to take her relationship with ares one step at a time 

even though she might already be head over heels for Prince of werewolves.

Love & The Zombie Apocalypse Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

All Rachel Cole wanted was to get her little sister away from their horrible foster home,

Even if it was only for a few weeks, she was glad to have Morgan away at science camp,

where she would be safe from the beatings of their foster dad. 

Everything was as good as it could get for her, knowing that her sister would be safe

and having fun with other kids her own age. 

If only she had known how incredibly dangerous things where about to get for the both of them.

The dead are rising and attacking the living.

All it takes is ONE bite.

One bite and you're infected.

Once you're infected it's not long before you die and become one of the undead. 

It doesn't take long for Rachel to realize that in order to stay alive you have to fight back. 

With a bat and determination as her only weapon Rachel is on a mission to get 

to Michigan and rescue Morgan.

On her way she meets a few survivors who decide to help her

and that would be great if one of them weren't 

Cage Vincent, the local high schools golden boy.

Their attraction towards each other is undeniable, but 

The end of the world is hardly the time for falling in love.

Especially not when she has to be focused on saving her sister.

If it isn't already to late.

***

Here we have a Badass bat-swinging zombie-killing heroine

who knows how to take care of herself instead of hiding out in someones closet

till help arrives.

Rachel is smart, strong, and determined

but so is Cage, who despite all that he is going through is still determined to 

have Rachel by his side and help her find her sister. 

The book also tells  the stories of  other characters 

and what they've all been through up until they all meet up together 

which I fell is very import, because it helps us all understand the characters better and allows us to see how much they have grown or changed since their first encounter with the virus. 

If you are a fan of Love & Decay like I am you will definitely enjoy this book.

You can get it on Amazon for $2.99 Or you can read it for free with Kindle Unlimited  on your tablet, computer or smart phone like I did.

Uglies Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

In a world where everyone gets to become pretty at the age of sixteen,

where everyone undergoes surgery to become the ideal image of beauty

and no one - except those who are underage - has to deal with 

the harshness of being ugly, 

how could anything possibly go wrong?

Tally Youngblood can not wait until her sixteenth birthday to finally have the operation
 so that she can be with her friend Perish in New Pretty Town
where all the new pretties live. 

Where everyone has big eyes, plump lips and high cheek bones and perfect skin. 

In New Pretty Town everyone's only job is to have fun.

It's been Tally's dream for as long as she can remember 

and in only a few weeks she'll be there partying with all her old friends
who have already gotten the operation.

All she has to do is keep out of trouble for a few more weeks
and she and Perish - her best friend - will be together again. 

Except Tally's new friend, Shay, doesn't want to become pretty.

She's convinced that the operation takes away more than just your ugly features.

Days before their birthday Shay decides to runaway

and take her chances outside the city to live
among other uglies who, like her, refuses to be made pretty.

When Tally is taken to New Pretty Town for her operation
she's exposed to a very ugly side of the pretties
working in special circumstances and  is given an ultimatum:
Find Shay and turn her and the other runaways in,
or stay ugly forever.

***

This book really shows how obsessed society is with looking a certain way.
It shows how cruel we can be to one another just because someone simply looks or acts different.
We give each other nicknames that point out our flaws just like the characters in the book
for example: Stick, Squint, Nose etc.
We make ourselves believe we are nothing because we are "ugly"
and most of us would risk our lives by going under the knife
and go through a massive surgery just to become "pretty",
to become accepted, without fully understanding
that we are just being brainwashed into thinking a certain way.
Being tricked into thinking that big eyes, a thin nose and full lips and a certain height
is what makes a person pretty.

I've read a few reviews before finally reading this book
and a few of the people who wrote them were upset because they
felt that this type of society is unbelievable, but I disagree.
 If you pay attention you can see how society judges people who look different
and they're telling people they have to look a certain way to be beautiful
and there are many people out there who would do anything
just to become "pretty".

Maybe if more of those people can read this book
or books similar to this they can see how wrong they are
and change some of their minds.

Possession Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Once again we find ourselves in a controlled society where not everything is as it appears.

We have goodies who aren't really good,

Baddies who really aren't that bad,

Thinkers who can get into or control people's mind,

Creepy robots, and

A rebellion on the rise.

Walking with a boy 

Out past curfew

Wearing contraband

Not plugging in to her transmission at night

and Cutting and dying her hair

Yeah Vi has always been a rule breaker

A free thinker

You'd think that would be a good thing right?
(Being a free thinker I mean, not a rule breaker.)

Not in the City of Water.

Violet has gotten up to seven offenses.

It's off to prison for Vi after being spotted past curfew with a boy-
 even if he is her match or that Zenn is as good as they come. 

While in prison she meets Jag. 

A baddie.
 Probably the worse kind with his tanned skin and jet black hair.
You can tell, just by looking at him that he's a rule breaker.

At first Violet could not stand Jag
but soon they learn to depend on one another
and develop a close bond. 

They have to stay together to survive

But can she really trust a baddie?  

With all the lies, half truths, spies and betrayal
it's a wonder she can trust her self.

***

I loved this story
but damn 

Goodies

Badies

Thinkers

Come on! There could have at least been a little more creativity with the names here.

Oh well what's done is done.

The main reason why I love this book is because
Violent is a very strong  free thinking individual.
She refuses to be controlled and put into a category.

She's presented with many choices:

duty or death

Zenn or Jag

Left or right 

control or don't control

alone or together

But it seems to me that Violet is always fighting for a third option
 because she understands that not everything is either good or bad.
Somethings just don't fit in either category.

I also love how Jag isn't one of those guys who hides behind a mask - at least when it comes to Vi.
 The fact that he cries in front of her or let's her see when he's vulnerable has got to be the sweetest thing ever. Even if he is supposed to be this big bad ...Badie?

Vampire Academy Review

4/5  ☆☆☆☆

If you have been unlucky enough to have seen the movie before reading the book

 -as I have- then I want you to forget everything you saw and felt about the movie. 

Forget about the actors, the acting, the storyline...everything. 

Just shake it all out of that pretty little head of yours.

 If you loved it, hated it, somewhat liked it, I don't care.

 forget it! 

Forget it all and read Vampire Academy and then decide how you feel about it.  

The movie is good, I liked it, but I might be a little bias because one of my lady crush stars as the bad ass Rose Hathaway. 

This book is the perfect example of "The book is better than the movie" line you hear from every die hard bibliophile.

Rosemary Hathaway is a kick ass Dhampir who has dedicated her life to protecting the Moroi -  Most importantly her best friend Vasilisa- against the strigoi.

Strigoi are undead vampires whose purpose in life is pretty much to drain blood and life 

out of every moroi, dhampire and human they come across.

Vasilisa Dragomir is a Moroi Princess.

The Dragomir's are one of the twelve royal families and  Lissa is the last of her bloodline.

Some time after the accident that killed her entire family, Lissa began noticing some weird things happening to and around her. The usually sweet and caring Lissa would experience violent mood swings, depression and sometimes got the feeling that someone was watching her.

After what happened to their teacher Ms. Karp and her warning about Lissa 

Rose does not hesitate in deciding to take Lissa away from St.Vladimir Academy 

to hide and live among humans to protect her. 

Two years on the run and the girls are caught and dragged back to the academy.

St. Vladimir is supposed to be a safe environment for both moroi and dhampirs

 but when Lissa starts getting threats in the form of dead animals in her dorm room 

and attacks against her from a jealous, stuck up, royal wannabe 

Rose goes on high alert and steps up her game as guardian 

and if you read this book you'll know that Rose is the type to punch first and find out who she actually hit later.

*incoming Rosemary Hathaway gifs*

If you haven't read Vampire Academy yet you should

and if all of the action isn't enough to get you to read this then please for the love of Romitiri (Rose+Dimitri)

pick up the book!

Richelle Mead is killing my heart with the adorableness of these two

and just look what it's doing to Amy Pond!
