Book Review : Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
“She was my destination. I was always on my way to Lena, even when I wasn’t. Even when she wasn’t on her way to me.” – Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Darkness
Synopsis : Together Ethan and Lena can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan’s eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there’s no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town’s tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.
In the sequel to Beautiful Creatures, Lena and Ethan find themselves dealing with the sad aftermath of the first novel. Slowly, they began to deal with the fissures and distance in their relationship, while darkness begins to close in on them. Along the way, we get introduced to a few new villains and meet a new cast (lol) of characters.

Illuminate By Aimme Agresti
First of all look at that beautiful cover ! I love the subtleness to it and the way the textures fit together. The plot also looks promising. This book came on radar last week on Waiting On Wednesday so now I’m waiting to !
Synopsis : Haven Terra is a brainy, shy high school outcast. But everything begins to change when she turns sixteen. Along with her best friend Dante and their quiet and brilliant classmate Lance, she is awarded a prestigious internship in the big city— Chicago—and is sent to live and work at a swanky and stylish hotel under the watchful eyes of a group of gorgeous and shockingly young-looking strangers: powerful and alluring hotel owner Aurelia Brown; her second-in-command, the dashing Lucian Grove; and their stunning but aloof staff of glamazons called The Outfit. . . Illuminate is an exciting saga of a teen’s first taste of independence, her experience in the lap of luxury, and her discovery she may possess strength greater than she ever knew.

Book Review : Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
“You had to want your mind to change. Maybe some people had always been pretty-headed, even back before the operation had been invented. Maybe some people were happier that way.”
– Scott Westerfeld, Pretties
Synopsis : Tally has finally become pretty. Now her looks are beyond perfect, her clothes are awesome, her boyfriend is totally hot, and she’s completely popular. It’s everything she’s ever wanted. But beneath all the fun — the nonstop parties, the high-tech luxury, the total freedom — is a nagging sense that something’s wrong. Something important. . .Now she has to choose between fighting to forget what she knows and fighting for her life — because the authorities don’t intend to let anyone with this information survive.
The first book,Uglies taunted readers and Tally with the perfect bubbly world of New Pretty Town. Let’s face it we were all a little curious about what it was like to be a Pretty and Pretties does exactly that. Who doesn’t want to see what the champagne-swilling, party going, Jersey-shore like atmosphere is like first hand? Somehow at their bubbliest Westerfeld still made Tally and Shay almost likeable characters. This book explores the aftermath that ensues after the cure has been discovered.
