Book Review : City of Ashes

     2 Comments

“Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love.”

–Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes 

 Synopsis :  Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what’s normal when you’re a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries?. . .Clary’s only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine. . . To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. 

Ahh, The Mortal Instruments  Series . . . we meet again. As I have already said, I am not the biggest fan of this series. The plot isn’t terrible, but some of the writing drives me up the wall. Still, I keep reading them because I hate stopping in the middle of things and I did get City of Glass signedso I might as well stick around.

Book Review : Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

     1 Comment

“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.

Legend by Marie Lu

I’ve been waiting for this novel after reading this articlein the Wall Street Journal (Okay, I saw it on the gossip site ONTD)  about books that could be the next Harry Potter.

I’m so psyched for this novel because it is a dystopian novel and is being compared to the Hunger Games series.I’ve been entering every contest I can find just to have a chance to receive an ARC or giveaway copy.

If you see any other contest or giveaways send them my way !
