<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Happy release day to Christina
Lee! Her amazing book 'There You Stand' (my review is here: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://mindcrazed.blogspot.se/2015/04/there-you-stand-by-christina-lee.html" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US">http://mindcrazed.blogspot.se/2015/04/there-you-stand-by-christina-lee.html</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">) is released today. This book
is a part of a series but you can read it as a standalone, at least I thought
it worked great without reading the others books. You can buy it on Amazon

since the shadow stone fell into Kell’s possession. Four months since his path
crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins
fell, and the stone was cast with Holland’s dying body through the rift, and
into Black London.<br />
<br />
In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober,
and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up smuggling,
Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of
Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London
finalizes preparations for the Element Games—an extravagant international
competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between
neighboring countries—a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends
back into port.<br />
<br />
But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games,
another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever
gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in
the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again—meaning that another
London must fall.</span> </i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So, I will not be working this summer, this is a choice mixed with lack
of job opportunities and also the fact that I’m stressed as fuck at the moment
and I don’t see that getting any better soon. But I do have plans this summer,
most of which involves reading! I’ll be doing a lot of re-reads, both of series
I haven’t finished and series I just want to read again. You know how it gets
when you start a series and you don’t read the last book so that when you do
want to read it you have to re-read the whole series because it’s been too
long. Yeah, that’s what I’m going to be doing this summer when I’m not busy
repainting my kitchen and my hallway (is it even called that?). So I thought I’d
share which books/series it is I’m going to read and review (if I haven’t already
done so). So here’s what you guys have to look forward to this summer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US">I
read three out of four books in early 2013 I believe and I got started on the
fourth book, aptly named ‘Finale’ but I just didn’t feel it. But now that I’m
in my complete Nephilim phase I’m dying for a re-read. So we’ll see how that
goes. I haven’t reviewed any of the Hush Hush books here on the blog so if I do
read them I expect there’ll be a review of each of the books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

here, didn’t get through the last one. Here it was a combination of lack of
interest and me being annoyed by the fact that with each book new POVs were
introduced. I’m not much for different POVs , two I can deal with but four?
Come one! Haven’t reviewed any of these on here either.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

think I read the first two out of… I don’t even know how many there are. I
think I own six. But we’ll see about this. I’m not entirely sure I’ll be up for
this. I tried a re-read last summer and failed miserably. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Heck yes! I can never read these books enough, which you can tell by the state
of them. They’re practically falling apart which made me buying the white
edition completely okay, right? I’m not sure I will review these. There are so
many of these out there but if you guys want my take on Twilight then please
let me know and I’ll gladly do it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

read two out three in this series and loved it. The only reason I haven’t read the third one is because I’m waiting for
it to be released in paperback, which is supposed to be happening sometime in
late June I think. I’ve reviewed the first two ‘Of Posedion’ and ‘Of Triton’ on
the blog when I first started it. Looking forward to ‘Of Neptune’ like crazy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

so I know I mention Wendy Higgins in like every post I write on here and that’s
‘cause she’s amazing. Anyway, the fourth and last book (or so they say, I want
more) in the series is scheduled to be released on September 8<sup>th</sup>
this year and I was thinking I’d do a re-read in connection with the release of
that, so sometime in late August. I’m planning on pre-ordering ‘Sweet Temptation’
as soon as my budget will let me. God I hate being a poor uni student. I’m also
hoping (it’s probably never going to happen, but one can hope right?) to be
able to fly over to the states and be there for the ‘Sweet Temptation’ launch
party on September 12<sup>th</sup> in Virginia Beach, VA. *crosses fingers*<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So yes I think that that was that. Wow that was a lot of that’s, haha.
Anyway I’m sure books will be added or removed before summer arrives but I just
thought I’d let you guys know what to expect. Now I really need to study
(boohoo). Talk to you later!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">*squeals* This was so good! It’s got
it all; supernatural stuff, hot boys, hot girls, great friendships, steaminess
and GREEK MYTHOLOGY! How do you even manage this? Authors amaze me. I’ve had
very few books where I read the first one in a series and was immediately
hooked (Sweet series is one of those) but this was just WOW. I love Greek
mythology so for me this was amazing. I didn’t even know there was going to be
Greek mythology in it until I actually got to the part where Helen starts
googling the Furies and even then I didn’t completely understand it, but when
Lucas and the rest of the Delos family start explaining I was like “holy shit”.
Speaking of the Delos family, can we just appreciate the awesomeness of that
family for a second. I read “Twilight meets the Iliad” and I was like “no” but
after a while I was like “yeah maybe” because if you think about it it’s kind
of like Twilight but the gorgeous family are the newcomers. And also Lucas
Delos is so much more gorge than Edward Cullen ever was. And the Delos family
is so much more awesome than the Cullens ever were. The whole Delos family is
gorgeous. I would say “the genes man, the genes” but since they’re beauty doesn’t
have as much to do with genes as it does with Fate I won’t say it. I’m totally in
love with every single family member (the immediate family not those scary One
Hundred Cousins) except for maybe Cassie ‘cause she scares the shit out of me.
But Ari, Jason and Hector, oh my, seriously I need Hector for myself, since
Jason is so obviously in love with Claire and Lucas is meant to be with Helen.
I even like the older guys; Castor and Pallas, even though Pallas is sort of an
ass at first, sort of justified though. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I loved this whole “I wanna kill you but then you sort of saved my life
so now I love you” thing. Totally adorable and at times embarrassing. I love
that Helen and Lucas are meant to be because of the whole star-crossed lover
thing. And how ironic isn’t it that Lucas was supposed to be named Paris. At
that moment in the book I think I died a bit. That was just too much for my
fragile heart too handle. But what really tipped me over was when Helen’s mom (major
bitch, btw) shows up after like 17 years and tells this lie to make Helen and
Lucas believe that they’re cousins. What is it with parents telling they’re
kids that they’re related to the people they’re in love with!?!?! It pisses me
off (yes Cassandra Clare I’m talking about bloody Valentine)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">This review turned out really messy but that’s just because I’m so
excited about this that I don’t know what to talk about and when! It was
amazing! So of course I gave it 5/5 stars on Goodreads. The next book in the
series; ‘Dreamless’ is now on my to buy list!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">I had such high hopes for this book.
It sounded like it could be the next big thing, but I guess if it was it would’ve
been more known by now right? It could have been amazing. I so wanted it to be
amazing. But it wasn’t. The story itself is actually a good one. Seven year old
Pierce meets a young man in the cemetery after he grandfather’s funeral, he
brings a dead bird back to life. Eight years later Pierce drowns and ends up by
a lake with a bunch of other people apparently waiting for boats to take them
somewhere. There she sees this young man she met all those years ago at the cemetery.
Thing is, he hasn’t aged, like at all, and he kind of seems to be running the
place. He asks her if she’d rather go someplace warm, which she of course
agrees to because she’s wet, cold, and scared. How was she supposed to know
that this means that she must stay with him forever? How was she supposed to
know she was dead? So what does she do? She throws hot tea in his face and
runs. She wakes up in the hospital and finds out that hypothermia is what saved
her. Two years later, Pierce is 17 and a lot of weird stuff has happened since
she “came back”. She’s moved to Isla Huesos with her mother, to start over. So
she’s not all that surprised when she runs into this young man –who by the way is
named John- at the cemetery where they first met. They have met a couple of
times between her death and now of course. John seems to always be around when
she’s in danger. She finds out that the place with the lake was actually the
Underworld and that John is some kind of death deity. Also, he’s chosen Pierce to be his consort. Kind of like
Hades and Persephone. Wait, no, exactly like Hades and Persephone. This would
freak anyone out, and it does freak Pierce out at first. Until she realizes
that she’s in love with him. And despite him being such a jerk – but who wouldn’t
be if you’d thrown hot tea in his face?- he’s in love with her too. So how does
this end? Right back where we started, with Pierce back in the Underworld –although
not dead this time- trying to figure out a way to get out. Stay away from the
tea John!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I love the story. The writing however, not so much. It kind of reminds
me of the way I first wrote back in 2008 when I started writing fanfictions.
The whole “walking down memory lane” whilst in the middle of a conversation is
annoying as hell. I mean sure, I want to know what happened to Pierce when she
died and all that jazz. But does she need to have an inner monologue with herself
in the middle of a conversation with her uncle, cousin, mom, creepy teacher, cemetery
guy or John? No not really. You can dedicate entire chapters to that. You don’t
have to go: ““Yes”, Uncle Chris said as I walked towards him. Kind of like I’d
walked towards John the day I’d died. I wasn’t really sure what the hell I’d
been thinking just walking up to him like that. Stepping out of the line, which
we’d been specifically told not to do. But I couldn’t stop myself. I walked towards him and the next thing I knew
hooves where descending, very close to my face. I thought I was going to die.”
It’s just annoying. Yes I want to know what happened with John but please can
you finish the damn conversation with uncle Chris first? God. Also, sometimes I felt that Pierce was so naïve
and childish. Sure she was only seventeen but sometimes if felt more like
twelve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Miles, it sounded like the experience of a lifetime. Instead of spending her
summer interning for her astronomy major, she would fly to Spain where she’d
spend a few weeks teaching conversational English to businessmen and women, all
while enjoying free room and board at an isolated resort. But while Vera
expected to get a tan, meet new people and stuff herself with wine and paella,
she never expected to fall in love.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">I could not put this down! I started
reading it this morning and seven hours later I was done. And when I was I felt
empty. You know a book has been really good if you feel empty when it’s over.
God, where to begin? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I loved the book, and I mean the entire book, there wasn’t a thing I didn’t
like about it. It was funny, sad, angering, passionate, sexy, romantic. It was
all the things you’d want a book to be, at least what I want a book to be. I
loved Vera’s story, getting to know her past, her fears and her dreams. I loved
the characters, Vera is an amazing young woman and I loved that she had tats
and piercings, she was real, someone you could relate to. Not that I have that
many tattoos and piercings myself but still. I loved the friendships she made
with the other characters and her relationship with her brother Josh. And oh my
god, Mateo (maybe I should be saying “dios mio” instead?). Holy mother of god!
No you know what “DIOS MIO” is the only thing that’s going to work here. I
absolutely loved Mateo, his charm, his temper, his looks, his personality, his
accent. I actually never thought I’d like a Spanish accent, but guess what? I
do! I need a Mateo of my own. Where the hell can I buy one? (Okay that sounded
much better in my head, I swear). I want a relationship like the one Vera and Mateo
has, passionate, hot damn! And even though cheating hits home with me I can’t
help loving this, because I truly felt like they belonged together. It was
almost too much at times. Like, can two people really love each other that
much? Apparently they can. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">This book was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. A heart-breaking, gut wrenching
kind. I seriously felt like I was going to die at times. The air wouldn’t properly
fill my lungs and I wanted scream at Vera and Mateo and tell them to stop being
so stupid! “You love each other! Be with each other!”. God, it was nerve
wrecking. But I loved it nonetheless. Plus I got to put my poor school Spanish
to the test. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I will definitely be reading a lot more of Karina Halle’s work. Starting
with the sequel to this one, “Love, In Spanish”. I knew I’d love her books

<br />
<span style="background: white;">Savage street gangs rule the day while fear and
superstition rule the night.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">When angels fly away with a helpless girl, her
seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">(From
Goodreads)</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">First thought was, naaah. But as
soon as Penryn and her family steps out onto the street and feathers start
falling from the sky things get interesting. Although it was a bit obvious that
Penryn was going to save Raffe’s life I still liked it. It also felt truly
inevitable for her to fall in love with him and the other way around. But he
sure doesn’t show it. Not until he thinks she’s dead. He’s a total douche but I
can’t help but love him anyway. Gaah. What is it with me and angels? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">So anyway, the story is really great and I love the mythology (can I call
it mythology when it’s stuff from the bible?) and I found myself going: “Huh. I
actually already knew that” and “Hold the phone. An angel called Raffe, could
this be the archangel Raphael?”. While trying to figure out the bad guys names
I drew on my previous experience of reading neph/angel books and I wasn’t all
that surprised to find out that the bad guy was named Beliel. I’ve stumbled
upon that name before. Yes, Wendy Higgins is responsible, isn’t she always?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">This book is packed with action, there’s not one moment where something’s
not happening, much to Penryn’s chagrin. But that’s what I loved about it. I
was never bored and I just wanted to keep reading it. That’s what a book should
be, don’t ya think?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">The thing that drew me to this book was actually the name and the cover
and once I’d read what it was about I was sold. This book has two of my
favorite things in it. Okay maybe more than two if we count the hot guys. But
what I’m talking about is dystopia and angels. It’s like Susan Ee has read my
mind and written the exact thing I wanted and needed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I gave this book 4/5 stars on Goodreads, I would’ve given it 5 but
despite how much I loved it there was something missing. Maybe the dystopia was
too much of just that, dystopia. Too cold, not enough love and human emotions.
Not sure. I’m looking forward to reading the next one nonetheless. It’s
patiently waiting for me in my Kindle library.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Do I recommend it? Heck yes! If you like I have a thing for either
dystopia or angels, or maybe both, then you should definitely read this!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

born with the ability to read minds and sense danger. But on her seventeenth
birthday, she realized how different she was after transforming, literally that
is. Now she’s developing powers stronger than a superhero. But she’s no
superhero.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />

<span style="background: white;">She has no control over her abilities and causes
accidents every time she’s nervous or upset, which being a teenager is hard to
avoid, especially when the most popular boys in school are fighting to be with
her.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">If that isn’t bad enough, a stranger is following
her. She doesn't know who he is or what he wants, yet he knows all about her
abilities and that she’s developing more. And . . . he’s her only hope of
understanding why she’s changing and others are after her. What she learns will
send her life into overdrive.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Okay, so this was a very fast read, I
think it took about three hours combined from start to finish. At the beginning
I thought “no”, mostly because the language was lacking. But I continued with
the book anyway because I thought that the story might be interesting. Which it
was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Lexi has had the power to read minds and feel danger since she was a
child but on her 17<sup>th</sup> birthday she’s “transformed” and suddenly she
can move objects with her mind. As if that wasn’t weird enough all the boys
suddenly want her. Speaking of those boys, can I just, wow, okay. So at first
there’s Tyler, a jock with kind of a soft side. Lexi has liked him since she
first move to Brookings two years prior and he’s kind of cute. So when he
claims to have saved her from being kidnapped she believes him, ‘cause he
always only wanted what was best for her, right? So all is good, until his
crush on her turns into like full stalker mode. I was thoroughly creeped out
and then when he basically tries to rape her (maybe it was worse in my head
than it actually was?) I’d just had about enough of that guy. There’s also
Everett, a surfer “ish” dude who’s really nice. He also shares some interests
with Lexi, such as cars, horror movies and a dream of studying at MIT. And then
there’s this mysterious guy inside Lexi’s head who tells her to stay out of
danger, this also happens to be the guy Tyler saved her from and who’s been
following her. Hmm. Plot thickens. So who is this Watcher guy? Is it Tyler,
yeah could be, until Lexi telepathically tells him not to have sex with her and
he sort of doesn’t listen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">There’s also the fact that Lexi has lost her memories of an entire
summer, namely the summer before her parents died. Apparently she spent it in
Colorado, falling hopelessly in love with a boy, who knew about her powers. So
can this boyfriend she can’t remember be her Watcher, maybe who knows?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Okay, so basically what we’ve gathered is that this book is really cliché,
or maybe cliché isn’t the right word for it? Hmm. Anyway, it was obvious, sort
of anyway. But still I kind of liked it, although there are a lot of unanswered
questions lying around. I definitely want to read the next book in the series. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">So do I recommend it? Yeah, sure. If you want a fast read that has a
somewhat interesting story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lovely wife Erika over at <a href="https://rickusbookshelf.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Rickus Bookshelf</a> to do the Chocolate Book Tag. Chocolate and
book in the same sentence, whaaat? It sounds amazing but we’ll see how this
goes!<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

read any books like this? What qualifies as a dark subject anyway? And does it
have to be a “real” dark subject or can it be like a crazy ass fallen angel
trying to kill a teenage girl? Hmm. I mostly read books that holds some sort of
fantasy/paranormal element (e.g nephilim, vampires, fairies) so I’m not really
sure about this. But I guess that “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett kind of deals
with a dark subject. Racism and all that jazz.</span></span></strong></div>

many! Okay, so I’m gonna pick the one that’s currently on its way to me. “A
Darker Shade of Magic” by V.E. Schwab, or just “ADSOM” as it’s called by the
fans. I’ve been looking forward to reading this since way before it was
published but I couldn’t afford to preorder it so when I had to place and order
for a book for uni I just thought “What the hell, I’ll just sneak it in there”.
So it’ll be here soon, damn postal service shuts down over the holidays. Darn
you Easter!<o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

the last few pages of “Sweet Reckoning” by Wendy Higgins. You say gooey and I

that book so I’m gonna go with that. Does that qualify as gooey? <a href="http://mindcrazed.blogspot.se/2014/12/sweet-reckoning-by-wendy-higgins.html" target="_blank">Link to my review.</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

Just saw that I'm 50 % done with my Goodreads Reading Challenge. I've read 20 books so far in 2015 and I need to read 20 more to reach my goal. That wont be a problem for me. I think I may have underestimated myself a bit. 40 books is a bit low but I guess I'd rather surpass than change it. If you want to friend me on Goodreads or just see what I'm reading or what I want to read here's the link to my profile: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/35709407-michaela-gustafsson" target="_blank">Kayla on Goodreads</a>.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Hi guys! So I’ve decided to join the April Paperback Month which was
created by Suze over at <a href="http://www.librarianlavender.com/" target="_blank">librarianlavender</a> and Sophie at <a href="http://www.reviewedthebook.co.uk/" target="_blank">reviewedthebook</a> and we’re supposed to dedicate the month to reading paperbacks. I mostly
do read paperbacks but there have been fewer and fewer lately and instead I’ve
been reading a lot of books on my Kindle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Here’s a link to the original post: <a href="http://www.reviewedthebook.co.uk/2015/03/aprilpaperbackmonth.html" target="_blank">http://www.reviewedthebook.co.uk/2015/03/aprilpaperbackmonth.html</a>, go check it out if you want to join.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I’ve already read one paperback this month (City of Glass) and I’m
currently reading two more. I don’t know if I want to set a goal of how many
books I’m going to read because I’m usually really bad at keeping promises. But
I’m at least going to finish the ones I’ve started. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US">I've also decided to give the NetGalley Challenge a try. I have 12 books waiting for me from NetGalley but I doubt I'll be able to read and review all of them in just one month. I do have a life, school and stuff. I know it sucks, right? But I'll do some. I've already reviewed one NetGalley title this month so I'm well on the way anyway. Should be doable, I think.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I'll try and get a review up on 'City of Glass' but I'm not sure when that's going to be seing that it's Easter and I'm sick. </span></div>

long enough at Raw Ink to know, just by looking at a dude, what his body art
reveals, what makes him tick, what even makes him scared. Until he meets the
quiet and remote Jude York—so unreadable, so unreachable, and so unlike anyone

<span style="background: white;">As captivating and complex as his ink, Jude is a
mystery—and Cory’s falling fast and hard under his spell. Against his better
judgment to steer clear.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The rumors of Jude’s past overshadow him—whispers
of prison and an unmentionable secret that’s kept him in the protective shadows
of a local motorcycle club. As Cory probes deeper, he wonders how much he
really wants to know. Especially since Jude has awakened something inside him
that has been buried too long—and has him feeling completely alive for the
first time in forever…</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is just too much. Okay so this was my first male/male romance read and I
was a bit weary at first and worried that I thought it might not be entirely
for me. But holy shit it was! I absolutely loved this. And not just the romance
stuff but the story was great, the language was great, it was funny and oh my
god, yeah this book has it all! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Both of the guys have these really complicated back stories and you’d
think that would be something that scares them. And it sort of does, though
Jude is a lot wearier for reasons that become very obvious as you get farther
into the book. They get off to a slow start with one of them trying to ignore
his feelings for the other (doesn’t that always happen? It pisses me off) but
they slowly accept (more or less) that there’s something between them. They start to build some form of relationship,
they connect over their love of dogs and the fact that Jude is getting a tattoo
at the place Cory works. Jude is a very quiet person (for reasons, obviously)
but Cory manages to draw him out of his shell eventually. Together they share a
lot of things, things they’d never shared with anyone before and I just fell in
love with their love, does that make sense?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Anyway, I thought for sure I’d be embarrassed when it came to the sexy
times, and I was. But I realized I almost always am even if it’s the standard
male/female situation. I was embarrassed because it was kind of an embarrassing
situation. I mean the things that were said, I’d probably be embarrassed if
someone had sad that to me in real life. But still I loved it, I never in my
life imagined that two guys together would be that interesting (HOT, yes of
course I mean HOT!) but it was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Christina has a really nice language. It doesn’t feel forced, it felt
very natural to read and I could really imagine Cory and Jude’s voices in my
head. I even read Jude’s lines with an accent. It was brilliant (said in an English
accent of course). There was a sense of humor there that I absolutely adored
but there wasn’t so much humor that it took away the seriousness that was ever
present in the story which was great because no matter how funny something is
we can’t just forget everything bad, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">So to sum it all up, I loved the book, and if you feel like this would
be something for you I think you should definitely read it. Hell, I’m still
reeling. <br />

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">I got this from NetGalley in
exchange for a review. I chose this book because the plot looked interesting.
Sure enough, it was. The whole shadows snatching people is really creepy. I’m
sure I’ll be scared to be alone with my shadow from now on. So there are these
four kids (yes, 16 year olds are kids); Harley, Brock, Teaghan and Gianna and
they all share the same birthday. They all receive these Shadow Boxes, with
these Shadow Boxes they can give people to the Shadows. Everyone except for
Teaghan is reluctant to believe the stories they’ve been told and the powers of
the Shadow Boxes. After Teaghan uses it for the first time things start going
downhill and it quickly turns into a “kill or be killed” type of scenario. In
the midst of all this Harley (who’s kind of the main character) has to deal
with a stalker boyfriend and an evil stepmom. And what’s with this quarterly
physicals where they’re injected with some sort of “flu” shot? And the shrink?
Why is he giving Teaghan and Harley the same medication when one’s suffering
from depression and the other headaches?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">The scariest thing about this book is that all of the four kids has one
family member who’s either missing or dead. Teaghan’s mother was murdered and
Harley and Gianna’s mothers both just disappeared one day. Brock’s sister
Sierra is also missing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">The writing may not have been the best and at times I thought things were
a bit childish, but then again the book is marketed towards kids age 13 and up.
Not sure if I qualify. But still the story was good and I want to read the next
book which doesn’t even have a date set yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly
see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the
world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best
friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world
isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound
brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down
rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also
her father.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />

Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and
zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">First off, let me just say that I liked
this book a lot better than the first one, probably because there were no movie
connections to be made here. This was a really good thing and it meant that I
could actually enjoy the book, which I did, very much. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">A lot of things happen in this book, a lot of life changing things, for
some people at least. Can we just take a minute to appreciate Simon? I mean
what he goes through in this book and still he’s there for Clary. Simon, I love
you. Then there’s Jace, whom I of course
also love but that’s beside the point. He is so hateable in this book, but
still I have a lot of sympathy for him. He makes me so mad with his “no I can’t
hate my father” crap, ugh. Seriously it is perfectly alright to hate Valentine,
I sure as hell do. Say it with me: “I HATE VALENTINE”. There, that wasn’t so
hard was it. The whole Valentine situation is so infuriating. Tricking Clary
and Jace into believing they’re siblings is just horrible. They are so
obviously in love with each other and it just makes reading most of the book
weird, it makes me uncomfortable. Especially when they’re with the faerie Queen
and she makes them kiss. I was screaming, really. Like why in the bloody hell
would they react to each other that way physically if they truly believe that
they are brother and sister? It makes no sense. And poor Simon. I feel so bad
for him, although he seems okay with everything by the end of the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Also there’s Luke, who really steps up in this book. I love Luke. He’s such
a nice guy and the way Clary’s like: “you’re not my father, Luke is” aaaaaaah,
I loved that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">One thought that stuck with me while reading the book was: “When the hell is it time for Jocelyn to wake
up?” and by the end of this book we get an answer, maybe. So I can’t wait to
get started on ‘City of Glass’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">And why didn't Imogen Herondale get to finish telling Jace the truth? Gaaaah! How long am I going to have to wait for Jace to finally know the truth. This is driving me crazy!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I love the Shadowhunter world. If I could I’d probably be one, that or a
warlock, with a nice mark like Magnus’ eyes and not horns or green skin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Okay, so at first I didn’t like it.
I thought the language was a bit weird and the fact that the chapters were
really short was a bit annoying. I also didn’t think that you got to know the
characters well enough. After a while I learned you didn’t really need to. The
story is great all though a bit obvious at some points. Absent dad, scared mom,
it all seems like something I’ve read before, hell it even seems like something
I’ve written before. Anyway, I was so sure this was going to be another book
where the main character finds out she’s a mermaid or a siren or whatever.
Meara obviously felt a pull toward the ocean as soon as she arrived in Peggy’s
Cove and then there’s the whole deal with her feet. But was she a mermaid? No.
She was- wait for it- a freakin’ seal! Or a Selkie as they’re apparently
called. How amazing is that? I’m so glad she wasn’t a mermaid, that would have
been seriously disappointing. I’ve read so many mermaid books, I mean don’t get
me wrong, I love mermaids - one of my favorite book series has mermaids in it –
but it just didn’t feel right this time. I was happy to learn she was just a
girl who’s dad spent most of his time as a seal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Okay so let’s talk about Evan for a minute. Such an amazing guy. If
Meara doesn’t return for him I’d be more than happy to heal his heart. Hmm,
yummy. Husband material that one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I cried when I read this, yes I cried, seems to be happening a lot lately.
There was this part where I just broke down, too many emotions at once. I’m not
going to spoil it for you, as I fear I’ve already done with revealing the seal
thing, sorry about that. It was just too big a part of the story to leave out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm about to go to bed (it's just after 10 pm here), since I have a bunch of "grown up" stuff to do tomorrow. You know, grocery shopping, studying and stuff like that. I've got a history/academic writing exam on Thursday. Which brings me to what I was actually going to say. I just finished reading 'City of Ashes' by Cassandra Clare (literally like two minutes ago) and I really want to write a review on that, but it's gonna have to wait until Friday, after I'm done with the exam and have recovered from it. What I can say now however is that I liked it much better than 'City of Bones', so much so that I really want to start reading the next book in the series, which is 'City of Glass'. But that too is going to have to wait until after the exam, I'm actually thinking about bringing the book with me to school so I can read it while I wait for the bus afterwards. NERD? Yes, and proud of it!<br />
<br />
I also wanted to say that I joined <a href="https://www.netgalley.com/" target="_blank">NetGalley</a> today and I already got myself a copy of 'the Witch Hunter' by Virginia Boecker. I mentioned the book in my earlier <a href="http://mindcrazed.blogspot.se/2015/03/2015-releases.html" target="_blank">post</a>, so yeah I'm super excited about that. I can't wait to read it and I hope it will be soon even thought I'm in a bit of a Shadowhunter phase at the moment.<br />
<br />
That's all, I'm gonna get some sleep now. Take care!<br />
<br />

So these are some of the books I'm not so patiently waiting for. The books I've been waiting for the longest are 'Sweet Temptation' and 'Joyride' so I think those are the ones I'm most excited about. Anyway I'll be sure to read these and review them for you. I'm trying to get my hands on some ARC's but that's easier said than done, unfortunatley.</div>

P.S. I really hate how like half of the space is empty, I tried putting the pics in the center but that just looks weird. I really feel like I need a blog design. Help?</div>

<b><span lang="EN-US">Plot: </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the
Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much
less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and
brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard
to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when
there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was
he a boy?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">This is Clary's first meeting with the
Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her
first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and
acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's
world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is
attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes
like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The
Shadowhunters would like to know...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Um, yeah, no. I mean there really isn’t
much wrong with the book and I did give it 4/5 on Goodreads. I love the
Shadowhunter world that Clare has created. I love the Infernal Devices series
but this, I don’t know. It’s probably because I keep comparing it to the movie
and that’s my own fault. The book is better than the movie, I mean way better
but I keep seeing the things and people from the movie and I don’t like it.
Take Alec for example, he’s a douche in the book and in the movie but I think
the book version of him is more attractive, mostly because he’s supposed to be
taller than Jace, but I keep seeing Alec (Kevin Segers) from the movie. It’s
really annoying to have seen the movie before finishing the book because I find
myself going: “No, that’s not how it happened in the movie”. It bugs me because
what happens in the book actually makes a lot more sense than the movie. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">This whole
Valentine deal pisses me off royally. Why is Jace so quick to believe that
Valentine is his father? Sure he has a story to explain everything but it still
doesn’t add up. And yes I do know how things actually are with that whole
situation and that just makes it so much worse. Ugh. Valentine is much more of
an evil asshole in the book than the movie, I didn’t really think that it was
possible to be more of an ass but apparently it was. Way to go Mr Morgenstern. Luke is such a babe though, too bad he’s not
Clary’s bio dad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">I’m
30% done with the next book, ‘City of Ashes’, and can I just say: “whaaaaaaat!?”
for a moment. And when the hell does Jocelyn wake up? Confused.com<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">But do I recommend it? Sure, why not? I mean it’s a good story. My

<b><span lang="EN-US">Plot: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">Since she was six years old Robyn
has imagined flying to Ireland and meeting McKale for the first time. Things,
however, are not exactly as she imagined and she soon finds herself in a fight
for something she never thought she’d be fighting for. Oh, and her opponent? A
faerie princess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts: </span></b><span lang="EN-US">LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this book. First
of all Ireland, second of all Irish accent and third; McKale. Oh sweet lord. <br />The
characters were great, the complemented each other very nicely. The Mason
family; mom Cecelia and dad Léon were such a loving couple and you could tell
right away that they loved each other and their children. Which brings us to
the Mason daughters, Robyn and Cassidy. They had a really great dynamic, where
Robyn kept her feelings on the inside Cassidy had her heart on her sleeve.
Robyn and Cassidy had that sisterly relationship most sisters crave. Then there’s
the two Chaun boys, McKale and Rock. Rock is a wild, shoot first ask question
later sort of guy. McKale is a quiet guy, at least at first. There were points
when I thought he was a total asshole but mostly I just swooned. The asshole
part was because of the FFG as Cassidy calls her, it stands for Freaky Faerie
Girl. The FFG is a total bitch, out to destroy Robyn and McKales relationship.
Ugh, just thinking about her pisses me off. So basically what I’m saying is
that all the characters were amazing just like they are in the Sweet Series, so
basically what I’m saying is that Wendy Higgins is great at building
characters. Yup.<br />The story is
a really great one, even though at the end there are still some questions that
went unanswered. And I thought the book was way too short, I mean it’s not like
it just ended abruptly or anything but 300 pages is not nearly enough, I wanted
more Robyn and McKale, what happens next? I also wanted more Cassidy and Rock.
But I do think I heard a little birdy saying that there may be a book about
Cassidy on its way. Let’s hope so, Cassidy’s story certainly isn’t over. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">It
takes place in Ireland, I mean come on, seriously, Ireland. McKale has the
cutest accent, I even read it with the accent in my head, haha. The location
sounds beautiful, the fields and that waterfall, jeez. I so would like to visit
that place, drink some mead, or maybe some of that moonshine and listen to
McKale telling the story of his folk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
