  • A Rose in Winter

    A Rose in Winter

    Author: Shana Abe

    Genres: Historical, Romance, European Literature, Fiction, Adult

    The great thing about Shana Abe’s books, is that in the end, you end up liking them, in some way or another. Of course, nothing compares to The Drakon Series, which I still believe to be greatest ones I’ve read by her, next to The Sweetest Dark books, but A Rose in Winter had me from ugh to ooh to aww to wow, I did not give it 5 stars because there was not that total awesome and abandonment into it that had drawn me to other books, but I enjoyed it enough, and if you brave it out through the middle of it, then you’re good at the end, it was a nice ending and there a plot twist here and there that I didn’t expect.

    Oh, the main character’s name is Damon, so, of course, I had to go on reading until I knew how it all ended.

    This one is quite short since I just thought to share with you guys this rather quick read I had, I mean according to my ebook reader, it took me about 9 hours to finish the book, and that divided in several days, which mean I could have finished the book in a day if I had had the time to do as much.That’s it for now. I hope you found a new book to read. You can read the description here.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genre: Sci-fi, fantasy, romance (sort of), YA, Dystopia, Retellings

    I think this is going to take a little while to come together. 

    After all the scary moments, all the times I said, this is it, this is where she kills them, her, him, one of them is going to be left alone and wandering without love, then another of my fav would come into the scene and there I was again thinking the same, what a rollercoaster.

    It doesn’t usually happen that I find a book to have me gaping, almost screaming, nearly crying, laughing, insulting the characters, but the best ones do, or at least does that make you go in and be part of the story for real, feel all that they are feeling, intense, magical, heartwarming, all those little things we feel while reading Winter.

    Midnight Sun [Book Review]

    Series: Twilight

    Author: Stephenie Meyer

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    Get your copy of Midnight Sun

    Let’s get this PoV started… I was so excited and I read with excitement up until some points at the end that had the capacity to slow my reading progress but at the same time I wanted to finish because I like the story as a whole, these books and movies were a big part of my life in the past and so I wanted to continue and see what Edward thought for sure, I didn’t expect him to be so mopey at times.

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: Learn About Loss

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Kelly Link

    This one is also super short, but it was a really good story too.

    I don’t think there was one that I didn’t like in this compilation.

  • Chain of Gold

    Chain of Gold

    Author: Cassandra Clare

    Series: The Last Hours

    Some Families: Herondale, Carstairs, Lightwood, Fairchild, Blackthorn

    There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Land I Lost

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Series: Shadowhunters. Shadow World

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Is going to be short, but I wanted to relay just how amazingly good it was, that even after reading all the Shadow World books there is still room for the little stories, and we will still love them all as if they were part of a series.

    7 EBooks for Under a Dollar or Free

    Hello, everyone!

    Since we are all at home or at least should be, and probably the boredom will soon turn into a need to buy compulsively (it has happened in the past), I thought you might want to check some of the Smashwords books that are less than a Dollar or completely Free, I hope you don’t know some of these and if you do then apologies for any repeating titles.

    If you are here, I am going to assume that you know about Sekaiichi and Junjou Romantica because I know that not everyone watches these animes or reads the Manga. Today is about the Manga, and a little bit about the Anime, a bit of a comparison might be seen further ahead.

  • The Burning Shadow

    The Burning Shadow

    Series: Origin

    Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

    Genre: Holy Alien Babies. Fiction. Drama. Supernatural.

    Alright so, I tried to stop and give you a briefing as I was reading this one like I did with The Darkest Star, but I started in Ch 19. You’ll just have to believe that before that moment, everything was good and I couldn’t stop reading; afterward, I forced myself to stop and put down the book (The Burning Shadow obviously) to write random (not so random) notes.
