I was going to make a header, but my photoshop was hell, so i'm using Cambria's this week :D

This week we have a new meme and here I am to post my babblings :D

Tell Me Something:

              What is the saddest book you have ever read?

This is a very hard post to do and that’s why it took me so long to do it. I always goof around and make jokes. My reviews are always full of pics that don’t fail to put a smile in everybody’s face, but I just can’t make this one funny, cose the books I’m about to talk about are not funny. In GR I have a shelf called Books That Will Break Your Heart. I have exactly three books there and I have to say that they most certainly did break my heart.

The first one was I Kissed a Zombie, and I Liked It by Adam Selzer. This book is short and snarky, so I started to read expecting a fun and light read. That was exactly what I’ve got until page 160 (there were 170 pages). I was struck with tears and I spend a hour trying to see the plot and understand that the ending was fitting for the story. I got it, really, but my heart didn’t and that’s why this book is in this list. Is sad, but trough the tears I see why it had to end like that.  I still love this book and I still recommend it, but I still say that is a sad one and should be read with caution. You’ll have fun moments and laugh with the characters, but life sneak up on you.

The second one is Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott. This book is about a girl that is kidnaped and is not a feel-good-about-your-self book. This book is wonderful in the most tragic sense of the word.  I felt like crap and this is to say the least. This writer put me inside Alice’s head and my heart was broken in a million of little pieces. I felt sad, I felt angry, I felt desperate, I felt hope and I felt empty. This was a roller coaster, but I did know what I was getting in to. I knew what the book was about and I took a leap that I knew would end up with me scattered in the bottom of a cliff. I don’t regret it one bit, tough.

The third one is Things I Know About Love by Kate le Vann and is the one that tore out my heart and is the one I never will be able to walk out from. Let me explain. I had read one book that was really exhausting and was looking for a fun and light book to read (this is my curse and I’ll never learn, apparently) so I started to read this one. I fell for this books instantly and couldn’t stop reading, but then stuff started looking not so good and (this is hard for me to admit, but I need to get off my chest) When I was like 6 pages to finish the book, my world was taken away from me. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t speak and I couldn’t stop crying. I had to read the last pages 3 times just to be sure I wasn’t making it up. I was angry and I just couldn’t believe it. My chin was trembling and my boyfriend, that was asleep cose it was like 2am, went to me to see what had happened. I was heartbroken and I couldn’t speak. He took me to bed and every time I closed my eyes I started to cry again. It was 5am when I finally doze off in his arms, but I spend the next day and a couple of more days after that like a zombie, lost and incapable of thinking.

It’s being a while since I’ve read these books, but I still get tears in my eyes remembering them.

Well, this was my post for the week. Sorry I couldn’t make this one funny guys, but these books broke my heart and I can’t make fun of something like that. Maybe in the future I’ll be able to, but not yet.

The plot - This plot follows the one on the first book. Clara finds out that her porpoise is not over yet and then she starts to have more visions about it. The whole book is pretty much about that. More angel blood stuff and black wings too. The difference in this one is that we already know the basics so we get to know the good stuff now and some really cool secrets too. Not that this will solve every little question that Unearthly left us with. Thank you very much for that Chyntia Hand!!!!







But it’s close enough. LoL





The Characters- This is where this book won me over and made me want to give it 8 starts. Remember how I said that Angela got me on my last nerves on my Unearthly review? Well, she still does, a little, but know I know her better and I kind of like her, a little. I would totally borrow her my T-shirt that says ‘Angels Rises the Devil in Me’







but I wouldn’t borrow my T-shirt that says ‘Bones Taught Me How To Play Dirty’.







She would never pull that off, she’s not as cool as me after all.







Clara is so funny and so cool in this book. She says all of these snarky jokes and I can’t help but fall for her a little. Yep, I have kind of a girl crush on Clara. Can you blame me? She is super cool in this book. Christian is now a tridimensional person, finally. Now I know more about him besides that he is hot and likes ski. But I’ll not say more, I’ll not make that easy for you guys. Read the book and you’ll know more about him LoL Wendy, this girl is so smart and not school smart, I mean life smart. I wish I had a friend like that growing up cose back then I certainly needed someone to give me some good points of view like she does with C (we are close LoL) Tucker, oh my gosh, Tucker. He is so hot that I want to cry. But the fact that he is hot is just a bonus really, cose, as we all know from book one, Tucker is good, a really good, great guy. He is a strong, hardworking, parents respecting, good example, got your back kind of guy. There’s really no way for a girl NOT to fall in love with Tucker. I can honestly say that this book ruined me for guys, forever. Thank you very much for that Chintya Hand, again!!!!!!







Clara’s mom still got me on my nerve in the beginning of this book, but then, oh,I can’t even, no. I’ll not go there. I’ll just say that now I get a little more her reasons for her actions. Oh, Jeffrey, I got my eye on him since book one and it kind of bugs me how he is left in second plan for pretty much everyone in book one and two. Is like they built a wall around him and I just keep trying to see him, but I can’t. I even get on my tiptoes but since I’m seeing things trough Clara’s POV I can’t cose she doesn’t really sees him. We get to know more about a bunch of other characters, but if I get to all of them this review will turned out to be longer then the book it self, so, if you want to know more about them, go read the book =D



The Written - Is like a breeze blowing through a field of wallflowers in the spring when the sun is setting. Sweet, loving and simply fabulishious. I know a great writing when I’m reading about someone brushing its teeth and it seems the most interesting thing in the world. This author is one of my favorite ever. She knows her stuff and what made me fall for her was the way that she makes the characters real people with real lives and real conversations. This is a paranormal book that makes the little things in life seems extraordinary. Because of her I want to jump in the river, I want to take a hyick on the mountains; I want to see the sun rise holding hands with the boy I love and be happy just to be my ordinary me.







I know I said this before, but I’ll say it again. There’s a quote, I don’t remember who’s right now and I’m too lazy to look for it, that says: “The key to a great story is to make ordinary characters to do extraordinary stuff or extraordinary characters to do ordinary stuff.” Or something like that. That’s the reason I love The Iron Fey series, that’s the reason that I love the movie The fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain and that’s the reason I love Unearthly series.



Considerations - Well,well, well. As you all know, this is the part where I bitch around about some stupid stuff that bothered me about the book. So, here it is. 2013????? Really Cynthia???? I mean, really??????? Are you trying the kill us or something????? How can I wait a whole year???? A whole year without Clara??? A whole Year without Chris???? A whole freaking year without Tucker?????????







I recommend this book to everyone that like Unerathly series and a great story about angels and finding your porpoise in life. Yep, really deep stuff right here.





Favorite quotes, cose this one deserve it:





“Before I moved here, I never got the whole love-triangle thing. You know, in movies or romance novels or whatnot, where there’s one chick that all the guys are drooling over, even though you can’t see anything particularly special about her. But oh, no, they both must have her. And she’s like, oh dear, however will I choose? William is so sensitive, he understands me, he swept me off my feet, oh misery, blubber, blubber, but how can I go on living without Rafe and his devil-may-care ways and his dark and only-a-little-abusive love? Upchuck.”



“This is isn't going to become one of those creepy situations where you show up at all hours of the night to watch me sleep, is it?" he asks playfully.”



“I’ve learned that a storm isn’t always just bad weather, and a fire can be the start of something. I’ve found out that there are a lot more shades of gray in this world than I ever knew about. I’ve learned that sometimes, when you´re afraid but you keep on moving forward, that’s the biggest kind of courage there is. And finally, I’ve learned that life isn’t really about failure and success. It’s about being present, in the moment when big things happen, when everything changes, including myself.”



“This is the part where I kiss you.”

Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reviewed on 01/25/2012



The plot -Cat and Bones are married, Cat is off her job and life couldn’t be more sweet. Right? Righ??? No, cose now cat is having these dreams about a blond and dangerous vamp. I know, what you’r going to say, but no, it’s not Bones. It’s a French called Gregor and guess what? He says that he is cat’s real hubby. This couldn’t get worse right? Right???? Wrong again, Greg is called dream snatcher for a reason, he snatch people from their dream. Pretty cool right? Well, he is a mean master vamp and he’s now after Cat. Tricky thing is, how she going to run from him when he can find her so easy? Pretty Fred Kruger right? That’s what I thought too. LoL







The Characters- We see the characters over a different light and even tough this is the 4 book I got really surprised with it. Oh, Queen Marie is in it and she is sooooo cool. I was intrigued my her in the prequel and now I can say, this is a kick ass character and I sure want to see more about her in this series. Cat is jumping the gun as always and Bones, is , well, do I really need to say how awesome he is???? Ok, he is , he is, he is wonderful and I get week on the knees just thinking of him. Now It’s the time for us to meet another hot Bones. I give you the hot and sexy Andrew Stetson













Oh, he is so hot, so, so, oh my,, Oh, I can’t take it





Somebody catch me.



The Written - Fabulishous, simply fabulishous. I’m even going to make me a T-shirt that says it. I S2 Jeaniene Frost.







This will go great with my Cat kicks Ass Jacket







and my Bones’ Been Here panties.









The recording for the Audio Book - This is getting really old. This girl is amazing. Queen Marie has this so, totally perfect accent. Vald’s just sopt on. I love this chick. That’s all I’m saying.



Considerations - We can lie to people all we want, but the worse liar is the one that lies to itself. We see trust issues here and how we need to forget what people expect you to be and just be yourself. Follow your heart and all that crap. Found out who you truly are and own it. Oh, and lets just not forget that people don’t read minds and even those who read can’t always know what you’re thinking and feeling unless you tell them. Bigger damages are made by what you don’t say then what you do say. Didn’t we learn anything with Wuthering Heights????

At Grave's End

At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reviewed on 01/25/2012



The plot -Cat and Bones together again and above that on a leash LoL So Cat is Bones’ boss now and she gets to boss him around. How cool is that?????? Superduper cool.But happiness is not for ever and now this really old queen is after them. Yep, like I didn’t see that one coming.







The Characters-Cat’s mom. Wow, she is like, I mean, wow. She has my reapect. That’s all I’m saying. Cat’s dad, Oh my, I believe I can’t hate a fictional character more then I hate him. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him with all my guts. I wish I could cut him and watch his pain as it grew back so I could cut again, and again, and again. Well, you got the point, I hate him. Oh, but there’s some really cool characters too. Vlad, we get to meet Vlad!!!!! I mean, this is a biiig deal bro. And he is , no, I’ll not say another word. Go read the book to find that out. Yep, I am a mean girl. Go tell on me to your mama, Cry baby. Cat is still the Cat we know and love. Bones, oh, do I even have to say it? Ok, I love him, love him, love him, love him.



This is the part that everyone was expecting and that makes this whole review worth it. The Bones pic. So, we already had James Marsters and Justin Hartley, now I give you Henry Cavill:















Isn’t he dreamy, Simon?





Yeah, I agree.





The Written - Again, this author doesn’t let me down. Luve the dialogues, the internal ones too. Cat has this crazy logic about life that is hilarious to read it. Oh and the love parts. Let me tell you, I’ll never think about a jealousy driven fight the same way again. So hot that makes my popsicle melt. LoL











The recording for the Audio Book - Ok, this is waste of time by now so I’ll just say it I love it, I love it, I love, I love it. This girl is fantastic and I love her. I guess I made my point about my head over hills passion over this recording and this narrator.



Considerations - I consider this series a kick ass one and you must read it. Now! LoL. Ok, in this book we see possessiveness issues as well as the old racism we all are familiar with. But there’s trust and love and how people can surprise you even though you know them your whole life. How someone can be blind by love and all of that. Decisions are made in this book and I have to confess, I cried my eyes out with it. I’m talking about a series that had already 6 books when I read this book and still it scared the heck out of me. That’s not cool Jeanine, not cool at all.

One Foot in the Grave

One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reviewed on 01/25/2012





The plot - Kate is flying solo now and is working for the Big Guy now. She has a new life and a new name. Four years has passed since she met Bones. Ok, this is where I can’t take it. You know the plot. If I get more in it I’ll start crying again. I’m reading the 5 book and this part still hurt me, missing Bones. The Synopses says it all.







The Characters- I’ll try to be brief here cose this part I love about this series and I’ll end up extra babbling over it if I don’t watch myself. Lots of new characters all of them fab in their particular way. Even the bad guys are just the way we love to hate. Cat = kick ass, Cat’s mom = annoying and I want to punch her , Bones = oh, yes, yes, yeeeeeees. I get chills all over me just thinking of him. He is funny, mean, wicked, play dirty but above it all, he knows how to treat a lady no, really, he never lay a hand on a lady unless she can handle it and would never, ever, force himself on a lady. But this has never being put to the test cose, come on, It’s Bones we are talking about. He doesn’t need to force nothing on anyone.



Ok, this is the part where I put a Bones pic, but I decided to put a different one so you guys can pic the one you like the most. Last review was James Marsters, in this one I give you Justin Hartley:





Sooooo hot.







See? He even has a red head= Cat :D







Blond hair, brown eyes, prrrrrrrrrrrrr,,,





Ok, I’m getting a little dizzied over here, lets get back to business now, shall we?



The Written - The dialogues are the best part of her writing. They are witty and have this wonderful flow to it. I love her style and since I’m reading book 5 I can say that it stays awesome along the series. Oh, and addictive too cose I can’t seem to stop reading it. I dream about it and can’t stop thinking about it neither.



The recording for the Audio Book - I love it, I love it, I love, I love it. This girl is fantastic and I love her. Did I mention that I love it? Yeah, I love it. For one simple reason = she acts through her voice and is so spot on it amazes me. The voice tone, the way she say the lines, I got a real serious case of nonstop grinning every time I heard her reading cose she makes the text really come to life and I believe that this is one of the main reasons I love this series so much.



Considerations - Racism is a real palpable theme in this series as well as prejudice and pride. I can say that this series is like candy apple. All the sugary sweet and deliciousness on the outside with the healthy interior.







This book is fun and addictive in a really non sense way, but if you look close enough you’ll find the serious stuff in it too. The way Cat’s mom treats her is an example of this. The fact that Cat decided on her own that leaving Bones would be better for everyone even without talking to him about it. How, even though Cat is half vamp, she don’t like them. You get my point, right?

Necessary Temptation

Necessary Temptation by A.D. Christopher

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Reviwed on 01/25/2012

I know, I know. This is not the genre I’m used to read but this is how I came *giggle* to read this book. My friend had just read it and was all squealing and telling me that I had to read it. So you can know what went down I’ll give you the talk that convinced me to read this book that is out of my reading box. Figuratively speaking.







Picture the girl blond and the guy with curly hair. Oh, I’m the girl BTW LoL



My Friend – Oh, my gosh I just read this book and it’s A-MA-ZING. You just have to read it.



Me – Really, what’s about?



My Friend – It’s about an alternative world where the women are, like, super rare and then to a man get a women he has to, like, go naked on a stage in front a bunch of people and resist these superhot also naked guys stroking him and stuff. If he can resist he gets the girl.



Me – Uhum, but what happens if he fails?



My Friend – They go to the forest or something and mate and then they be like warriors mate. Oh, did I mention they where weres? Yep, they are and it’s so hot.*starry eyes*



Me – Ok, but no thanx.



My Friend – Why? *squealing*



Me – I’m not into erotic gay books. Do I need to remind you about the Brocken Back Mountain Episode? ( I really didn’t like the movie and got all bitchy about it)



My Friend – No. But this is totally different, it’s romantic and paranormal just the way you like it.



Me – How come? All I hear is a bunch of guys rubbing one another so the poor guy on the stage get a stiff and lose the girl he wants to marry. This sounds a little mean to me.



My Friend – No, this’s not that at all. See, this slave called Logan, drop dead sexy BTW, is in love with Gray.



Me – Gray? *giggle*



My Friend –Shut up. I mean the guy on the stage buck naked who is sexy as hell too. So, he loves Gray and this is his chance to get close to him, really close to him *wink* but what he doesn’t know is that Gray is in love with him too.



Me – Oh, but then what’s he doing up there?



My Friend – Gray is the oldest of his family and he needs to get the girl so he’s family can have more heirs and stuff like that.



Me – So is not like he really likes girls?



My Friend – No, he does. All the man like it, but they are attracted to man as well and since there’s more guys then girls is natural for a guy to hook up with other guy.



Me – I’m still waiting for the part where this story is just the way I like it.



My Friend – Ok., ok, Miss Smarty Pants. Logan is a slave and if he gets Gray to take him as his mate he gets his freedom, but at the same time he wants Gray because he loves him and this has nothing to do with freedom or duty. This is a love story like you never read before.



Me – This is not fair, you said the magic words (Like you’ve never read before). But I’m not into erotic man on man action. I get all squeaky to read the what going into what. *making a face*



My Friend – The romance is so heart breaking that the sex gets in second plan and besides, I tough that you liked the same thing I do, guys. Super duper gorgeous, drop dead sexy, super hot, blowing your mind guys.



Me – What you’re talking about? *chuckle and a little glassy eyed with the description* I do like guys. *chocked face* I like it as much as any gay guy.



My friend – Then this is even more perfect cose they are all guys. Non stopping description of hot guys and their perfect six pack. This Is like every girl-with-a-gay-man-trappet-inside dream book.



Me – Shut up. *giggle* I’ll read it.



Ok, this was pretty much the sweet talk my friend used for me to read this book and I have to say, is not as wonderful as he said, but it’s a pretty good book. Even the sex parts are kind of romantic and sensible. The plot not that convincing, but it’s one. It’s a short story but the writing is really good and has a great flow to it. I see emotions on the characters and I have to say that I was really cheering for the guy to get the guy. Sorry ladies, but this time I had to take the guy’s side. I couldn’t stay in the way of their true love. Aside from the love story we see also the pressure to be what everyone wants you to be, the fight to keep what you want in secret and choose between your happiness and the happiness of the one you love.







But lets not forget that this is an erotic book and yes, I’ve got 50 shades of purple from here till next week with the sex parts. But the real question is, Did I get groused out by it? The answer is No, I didn’t. And that’s why I kept reading, the writing was so not descriptive in a eww kind of way and got the romance and feeling on the spot. So I was like, “Oh, he loves him. “ *sigh* Burning cheeks, but butterfly on my stomach.







XoXo to my friend for make me read this book. You were right, again.

This is my first post on Cambria’s meme and I’m super-duper excited about it. I even made this super cool banner to go with my it.

If you are asking yourself ‘ what the heck is this?’ well, look no further LoL Here’s the dealyo. In each week Cambria will come up with a topic or question and we answer it in a fun and babbling way. We post in our blogs and put it the link on Cam’s blog so everyone can see it.

See? Easy breezy guys.

Ok, now lets get to the good stuff. This week the question is:

What is your favorite genre to read and why?

OH MY GOSH!Do you need to ask? It’s so obvious.Lol 

Just kidding LoL I like lots os genres but lately  I’ve been kind of addicted to paranormal romance. Don’t know why, there’s just something about a werewolf and a vampire that is also part angel falling in love wile fighting a curse and also a war against the demons from the underworld that had to scape to the nevernever but now they just got free and the world is in danger that I just can’t resist. I mean, who could resist such a simple plot with everyday character like these, right?

I like fantasy, I like YA, I like dystopia , I guess is easier for me to say the genre I don’t like LoL

This was my babblishing post for Cam’s meme of the week. For more posts about this meme go to cambriahebert.com

XoXo and come back soon yall.
