Deep Blue Secret Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

I absolutely adore this story.

Rayne and Sadie are utterly adorable in this first book of The Water Keepers series.

Usually the story is a bit like this:

girl meets boy

boy saves girl

they fall in love

and then

they both dive head first into a relationship filled with passion and lust (depending on which story you're reading), but the point is that they always rush into a relationship with someone who is pretty much a stranger 

LIKE HELLO, STRANGER DANGER!

I like how both Sadie and Rayne have this intense emotional connection with each other,

yet neither one of them gives into it.

Sadie is always thinking that she is weak, but honestly I feel that she is very strong, emotionally, because if I had my emotions amplified by some magical water I would definitely be all over Rayne like… well wet on rain. (har-har I know I am hilarious) It is obvious that Sadie is in love with Rayne, but she does a pretty good job of keeping put.

Seriously though, her emotions were everywhere and she still managed to control her self, and not only with Rayne. Poor Sadie would be happy one moment and then severely depressed another.

 The only way I can properly explain this is to compare her emotions 

to that of a whovians, on Christmas night, during 

The Time of The Doctor

(minus the screaming)

***************************************************************************

Summary

Sadie is a normal seventeen year old girl. 

She is carefree and very social at her school talking to everyone she meets

and always has a happy and energetic vibe about her… or so it appears.

Sadie tends to spiral into an emotional slump 

at the sound of music that either is or attached to some sort of sad or depressing memory. Sometimes for no reason at all she will become physically exhausted and unhappy.

As if those random episodes aren't enough Sadie's love life, or lack there of suddenly becomes complicated when a strange and incredibly handsome young man saves her from a near death experience. Her relationship with him becomes this huge emotional roller coaster ride. She is falling for him, but her feelings might not even be real - just a side affect of the healing water -  and besides knowing that he is only there to keep her safe - as a bodyguard - and nothing more makes things a bit frustrating for her. 

Sadie doesn't understand why her emotions are out of control. 

She is struggling to keep her feelings for Rayne, which might not even be real, to herself. 

She knows something weird is going, and that Rayne holds all the answers to her questions,

 but the most important question that has been bothering her since finding out about him is 

Why does she even need a (keeper) secret agent to keep her safe?

Tomorrow Land Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

Holy futuristic zombie apocalypse! 

Secret government agents

Flesh eating zombies

Betrayal 

Heartache

Addiction

Cybernetic implants

Gladiators

Love

&

a boatload of innocent children

This trip through futuristic zombie land will be a walk in the park,

 or rather a walk to Disneyland.

With an important code saved locked away in her head 

Peyton and Chase make their way across dangerous territories

with a group of orphaned children to Disneyland where Peyton's 

father awaits her arrival.

After being locked underground for four years she is on a mission to save what is 

left of the human race, but can she make it in time before the cybernetic implants,

created by her own father, fails and her body starts breaks down?

Will traveling with Chase, her former love, complicate her mission?

and how can she travel to Disneyland, fend off zombies and protect a group of mostly children safe from a fate worse than death while her only capable companion is constantly putting them in danger?

….

Sometimes finding a good Zombie Apocalypse book is hard to come by

because after a while they all start to sound the same, but I can say for sure that this book was like nothing I have ever read before.

The back and forth between chapters, going from the present to the past repeatedly, was extremely frustrating, but by the time I got to the end of the story I could not have imagined this book being written any other way.

This book was absolutely fantastic!

Matched Review

3/5 ☆☆☆

Only a few paragraphs into Matched by Ally Condie 

I got really excited about the story.

 I am great a multitasking and I am always either cleaning

or cooking while I am reading,

but WOW

I was so absorbed by this book that I suddenly found myself in my bed wrapped up in a blanket unwilling to separate myself from this story.

Unfortunately though by the time I got to chapter eight I was pretty much 

half dead due to boredom 

But I pushed through it and realized that it wasn't that bad.

The story is a bit slow paced *eyeroll*

 but other than that it's OKAY. 

I wish there was a bit more drama in the story and that Cassia wasn't so 

dang indecisive about who she wanted to be with

but who knows maybe the next book will be better.

I am really upset though.

I honestly thought that this book would be more than what it was

 but all of that put aside the story is really good.  

Also if you enjoy this book or have already read it then you might also be interested in reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver, which I also expected more from but do not let my slight dissatisfaction keep you from reading this book. After all there is a reason I gave this book 3 stars.

ORIGINAL SYNOPSIS

Cassia has always trusted the society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate… until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Significance Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

Maggie is a normal seventeen year old girl who has just graduated from high school. She thinks of her self as average and feels like she's been abandoned by everyone who should care about her. Her mother walked out on both her and her father claiming that they were unappreciative and did not love her enough - I know what a major B*otch. Her father has pretty much lived his life on autopilot ever since his wife left him and has been too depressed to be a father to Maggie and if that is not sad enough the last member of her family, her brother Bish, has moved to New York leaving her practically an orphan.

Oh and yes lets add more problems to Maggie's life by having her boyfriend breakup with her when she needed him the most. 

The closest thing to a family Maggie has is her obnoxious best friend Becca and Kyle her childhood friend, who has had a crush on her since FOREVER! and the lovely group of people she works with at a local diner.

But things change for Maggie when she decides to cave and accepts Kyle's billionth request for a date. That is when she meets Kyle's cousin, Caleb. She is drawn to Caleb and soon finds out that he is her soul mate. No really! Her actual soul mate. 

Maggie and Caleb imprint on each other.

For the Aces (a race of supernatural beings that has been hidden from humans for centuries) this is a miracle. Imprinting is returning to their race helping them to not only find their soul mates but also saving them from extinction.Now you would think that Aces all around the world would be ecstatic about this kind of news but that is not the case. 

The Watson's, a rival clan of the Jacobson's, are furious and filled with jealousy because they were not chosen to be the first to imprint. Adding insult to injury, not only did a member of their rival clan imprint before them but it was done with a human, Maggie, something the Watson's find disgusting.

The Watson's have always envied the Jacobson clan and thought themselves superior over everyone, especially humans, so when Maggie and Caleb imprinted on each other, when none else has in years, well that was the last straw for them.

Although it is against Ace laws to harm another clan they set out to separate Maggie and Caleb before they can ascend ((OH NO! if you think I am going to tell you what that means you are so out of luck. :) It is way to awesome to explain. You better go read the book!)) and possibly kill her

Will Maggie and Caleb survive the physical torture and withdrawal from being away from their soul mate for such a long period? ((oh yea. Being away from your soul mate for a long period of time -even over night - can cause withdrawal making your body feel as if you've been hit by an 18-wheeler and dragged ten blocks.))

Or will the Watson's finally get what they have been craving for for years? 

The destruction of the Jacobson clan.

3/5 ☆☆☆

                                                        

ORIGINAL SYNOPSIS

Seventeen-year-old Eva is a chosen one. Chosen to live, while others meet a swift and painful death from an incurable virus so lethal, a person is dead within days of symptoms emerging. In the POD system, a series of underground habitats built by the government, she waits with the other chosen for the deadly virus to claim those above. Separated from family and friends, it's in the PODs she meets David. And while true love might not conquer all, it's a balm for the broken soul. 

After a year, scientists believe the population has died, and without living hosts, so has the virus. That's the theory, anyway. But when the PODs are opened, survivors find the surface holds a vicious secret. The virus mutated, infecting those left top-side and creating... monsters. 

Eva and David hide from the infected in the abandoned PODs. Together they try to build a life--a new beginning. But the infected follow and are relentless in their attacks. Leaving Eva and David to fight for survival, and pray for a cure.

NAT'S REVIEW

Usually I like my Zombie apocaplyse novels to have a bit more ... Oh I don't know … Zombies in it! But this was still a good read. The story had a pretty interesting start but by the time I got to the middle of the book I was dying for some undead villains to arrive.

The romance between Eva and David was TO-DIE-FOR!

No really! Those two were beyond head over heels for each other. The fight they put up to be together is what kept me going for the first half of the book. Well, that and Eva being a total bad ass!

Go head and tell Eva she doesn't need a weapon in a post zombie apocalyptic world because that is what the men are there for and see if doesn't knock your rotting head of your shoulders with a bat!

Anyway if you need a book to read to pass the time on that long train ride home or something else to do when you should be doing your already late homework assignment you should really give PODs a shot.

XOXOXO

I'm thinking I need to buy some more books.

Even with the one that I have on my nook I feel like this is not

enough!
