She's So Dead To Us

Review Time! I finished this on last week but haven't posted a review on it yet because I wanted a solid week this week! Anyway, She's So Dead To Us is probably one of the BEST YA books I have read EVER. So this is a review worth reading!  Now, the first thing that attracted me to this book is the Tiffany blue cover with pearls, I admit I have this thing with pearls and Tiffany so I was like MINE! My second thought was this is going to be about some dead chick who was a rich snob, I was.. wrong! In fact she was or she is very much alive and it was a totally epic teen romance/ drama novel!

The Short Story? An epic novel that includes all the basics of a very good teen novel! Hot guys, rich kids, pretty girls, drama, romance, tension and I repeat myself ONE OF THE BEST YA BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!

The Long Story? The first thing I notice about a book is how many pages there are (well, after the cover and the author and the publisher) and this one only had a short 273 pages so I was like score! Pretty cover and not too long. The plot in this story is really real-like I guess. It talks about cliques and separating the rich from the norms, it talks about jealousy, betrayal, teenage romance and everything in between! The writing style was very easy to read and swapped form the perspective of a girl to a boy and so forth. The start was really good because it went straight to the point, the ending was rather abrupt, straight after a KA-BOOM moment so I'm guessing there will be a sequel! Great characters ( did I mention hot?), fantastic writing ( Thank-you Kieran Scott), genius plot ( Thank-you again) and one of the best books I have read in a long time! It feels like I'm finally breathing fresh air again! Rating 5/5

Series Wrap Up - The Luxe

Okay this is my first series wrap which is another blog feature I have decided to add. Series Wrap is really...a series wrap up ;) Basically it's a post I do after I finish a whole series. It's like a collection mini reviews ;) And my frst is going to be about The Luxe series by Anna Godberson ! I have recently finished her whole series in two months ( one last month and three this month).



1) The Luxe (#1)






I quite enjoyed the first book, I loved the 1800's setting for there were many gentlemen and big frocks in that era ;) Very much like Gossip Girl (seriously) I can even match up like half of the charcters with Blair, Serena, Chuck etc. Something I really liked about this book was you really got to know the charcters. You got to know their personalities, their dreams and their desires. Good opening book !

2)Rumours ( #2)




Very unexpected, the events that happened in this book were very very unexcepted. Wasn't my favourite book in the series but was probably the most important for this book was where most of the action happened. This boom really made you pick your sides with which charcter was the better one. Some wanted to make you slap them in the face while others you wanted to wrap your arms around and give a hug.


3) Envy (#3)





Probably my favourite book in the whole series. I loved how we got to see more of Lina ( one of my favourite charcters) in this novel. Well writeen and easy to read, definitely my favourite in the series. Series of events were well planned and I enjoyed this one.



4) Splendor (#4)





Quite disappointed with how this book ended. Not alot of happy endings I don't think. Parts of the book made me want to cry for the characters. Nothing much kinda stood out in this book everything kinda went around in a circle then ended. not my Favourite.


Overall Rating - 3/5 ( Note- I am a VERY harsh reviewer I rarely give anything over a 3, I think I have given a 4 to about thirty books out all the books I have read and I can count on one hand how many 5's I have given out) A 3 means it is worth reading, I found it enjoyable and actually finshed the book ;)

Rhymes With Witches

Finished this book this morning ( in bed.). So I'm going to review it now that I have had my late lunch and my brains works again. So I picked up this book because I'm a sucker for funky titles and good covers and it turned out to be pretty good. I loved the whole concept of the Bitches being a girl from each class, very different and clever. The Fall fling theme was reallly funny ( You have to read it to find out) and I thought Bitsy's fashion sense was pretty out there. However ( there is always on of these) I didn't like the ending :( It was so sudden, like one minute you would be like getting into the story and the next its THE END. So I gave it a lower rating because of the ending but overall it was a fabulous read. A good change after reading soooooo many Paranormal & Urban Fantasy reads ;) Rating - 3.5/5 (worth reading)

Decription-
Jane dreams of being chosen as the freshman member a dominant school clique made up of one girl from each class. When her wish is granted, and she is offered a place in their group, Jane discovers the terrible price of their particular kind of popularity. There is a sinister secret to their power, one that will change Jane forever. Darkly humorous and dead on, this book will leave readers shivering in recognition.
