The Fault In Our Stars Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Emotionally damaged.

I have been I have been utterly and irreversibly damaged emotionally by John Green 

and the characters of this absolutely wonderful novel.

but seriously

I do not care what you think you know about love or

 if you think that Bella and Edward had an amazing love story or

 even if you think that the story of Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy

because if you do then you are a fool.

Sorry but that is the truth. 

Hazel Grace is a sixteen year old girl who just happens to have cancer 

and although she's been given this miracle - the miracle being that the test drug that has been 

given to her has hardly worked on anyone, yet for some reason worked on her 

now extending her life by ... oohhh I don't know, but still longer than it would have been while she was lying on her death bed drowning from the liquid filling her lungs- she is still what she calls herself a grenade. 

Any day could be her last and thus she distance herself from others in hopes of lessening the damage 

she will create when her time comes. She keeps to herself, mostly, and her best friend is An Imperial Affliction - her favorite book.

That is until she meets Augustus Waters, a seventeen year old cancer survivor,

 at one of her support group meetings. 

Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters develop this beautiful relationship and together they 

embark on an amazing journey through this fantastic roller-coaster ride called life along with all of it's 

side affects.

The Nightlife : New York Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

[17+]

[Excuse me while I do my best Kenzi (lost girl) Impression]

Lap dances, strippers, escorts, oh my!

Vampires, blood, sex, oooh my...

Masters, blood slaves, corruption,  ooh crap balls!

***

The Nightlife: New York by Travis Luedke is exciting, violent and sexy!

This violently sexy story introduces us to Aaron Pilan, a young man who has been emotionally neglected by both his estranged mother and ex-girlfriend.
His only friends are Delia , a bratty and selfish ex, and his roommate Kyle.
Aaron lives his life day to day and has depressingly fallen into a routine of work, buying beer for his friends,  pining over his ex.

His life sort of resembles that of Wesley Gibson from the movie Wanted.
If you saw the movie then you know that

Wesley had a depressing life of:
lousy job
 bitchy girlfriend
 shitty friend
 eat, sleep, shit
 and if he was lucky things got really exciting
 when his body decides to give him a good ol panic attack.  

So, yeah... basically he was a flat out loser. 

Until fate put him in the path of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
For Wesley it was a smoking hot female named Fox.
For Aaron it was the beautiful Michelle.

Turns out Michelle is a vampire.

Aaron's first encounter with Michelle leads to him getting shot
after she is forced to defend herself against two disgusting and corrupt cops.
She briefly considers leaving him to die but his attempt to
save her from the other two men made her feel a bit
responsible for him being injured.
Guilt gets the better of her
and she decides to do what she promised herself
she would never do.

She saves his life, although by doing so
 she has not only turned him into what she is,
 but has also bound him to her for eternity
 - a lifetime of servitude.   

She may be his master and he her servant,
 but to Aaron being bound to his savior is the best thing that could ever happen to him.
Even if that does mean leaving everything he knows behind
Or that she is probably a bit psychotic.

One mistake could cause him to lose his life at the hands of this beautiful creature
yet he couldn't imagine a life without her.

Turns out Aaron is a natural at being a vampire
and soon learns to love his
new life with Michelle
but things go downhill pretty fast for our vampiric duo
when a couple of corrupt cops are out for revenge against Michelle
and Delia's jealously kicks in
but Michelle's quick and violent temper and trust issues might be the real threat.
