However, I have seen replacement yarns for some. I am yet to make something from it so I cannot write anything about the patterns being correct and all that.

I hadn't used it for too long before my laptop screen suddenly went blank on me in the middle of my work. Try everything I could my laptop was dead and gone and this was a laptop that had been working fine moments ago. To give this product credit, I am still confused as to what happened to my laptop and if this cable was really the cause as I had read on various sites of something similar. To cut a long story short, I have a new laptop and I won't be trying out any "cause of laptop death theories" using this cable on it just to be on the safe side. For the short time I used this product, it served me well. Kudos to the producer because the length is a sure advantage. | 3 | Seemed Nice but Still Skeptical.. | 1,403,568,000 | 06 24, 2014 |

Well I was busy comparing prices of all the hooks I saw and this seemed to be the best for me project-wise, price-wise and otherwise especially when I had bought 1 hook at my local Wal-Mart for $1.47. Here I got 14 colorful hooks in varying sizes and for a steal at $6.96! Now I have all hooks needed for both present and future crochet projects, buying them in bulk is cheaper than making individual purchases: a tip for all new crocheters. They came earlier than expected: a plus for which I am so grateful to the seller. | 5 | Wonderful, Amazing, Sturdy, Colorful, Useful Crochet Hooks, all 14 Intact! | 1,403,568,000 | 06 24, 2014 |

I didn't even know how nutritious these were until I researched it after finding it here online: this is a very nutritious, healthy and tasty snack not to mention a huge benefits gotten with it being organic. In the area I grew up in back in my home country, they are known locally as "aya": a snack that was popular and loved by both adults and children. Now I know why I and other children had so much playing energy back then!Another huge bonus from buying from this company came when I received a personal phone call from them asking me if I knew the product, giving me additional details and thanking me for my purchase, the gentleman I spoke with was very nice and friendly. I was truly touched that they follow up with every customer's purchase. The only negative I have is how small it seemed in my little 5 oz pack which had a few sandy ones as well further limiting the quantity.

] | I love this wig. I first found out about it thru a hair vid on you tube (fabulasityisme) channel, and she was rocking this wig, and I said to myself that I had to have it. I had virgin hair in my head at the time, and nothing compares to it, but this wig looked so good on her that I absolutely had to try it. I received it exactly when they said it would come (about 4 days), I put the wig on and used my flat iron on it at 350 degrees, it already comes with slight layers in it, so no need to cut it. The hair is 20 inches long and I love it. The package says you can curl it up to 400 degrees, but I didn't use that much heat. It fits my head snug, and I have received many complements on it. I will recommend this hair, and while I am on Amazon right now, I am gonna order me another one..YES!! | 5 | This hair is A-OKay | 1,365,552,000 | 04 10, 2013 |

I was surprised when I was watching a commercial advertising a vacation, and this song came on and it had Flo Rida at the bottom of my screen, so I check Amazon music for it, and there it was.

] | I have not been disappointed yet with pristine hair, they sell really good hair. My particular hair came from China (kingkongmall) and this hair is flawless.The hair in the pic actually is like a loose wave, the hair that I got has a more tighter wave; I did a co-wash and I will add pics later, but the wave pattern stayed the same. I have ordered some virgin hair before from other places and the waves did not survive the wash, but this hair did, I am really impressed and I cannot wait to create my new u-part wig. This hair has a beautiful wave pattern. I do recommend this hair. | 5 | The hair that I received actually looks better than this picture.. | 1,365,552,000 | 04 10, 2013 |

] | This wick is simply amazing. It tastes better than the other wicks I've tried, and is a fair amount cheaper as well. I received a free sample from Humboldt a few months ago, and saw them on here, and figured I'd buy a few feet. I am extremely happy with my order, as their wick is impeccable. It easily takes a flame, and is easy too extinguish. Unfortunately, it goes out in brisk wind, but the same happens with my lighter, so it's not a deal breaker. It makes my smokes taste better, and because of this, I've turned many of my friends on to it. With 50 feet, I have enough to share with pretty much anyone. Also, their shipping department is amazing. I ordered it on April first (a Monday), and received it the following Wednesday. This far surpasses amazon's estimate for shipping, which said it would take at least a week.Buying this will not only save my taste buds, but also save me a crap ton of money, as I use my lighter much less with this product.These hippies know what they're doing. | 5 | Ships faster than lightning | 1,365,552,000 | 04 10, 2013 |

] | Oh, this book. I don't think any book has made me cry as much as this one. I didn't want to finish this book so fast, really, I wanted it to last a little more, but at the same time, I couldn't stop reading, I was caught up with it. I can't wait to read Where she wentThe story is so full of emotions, from the beginning to the end, it was incredible how this book makes you feel the sadness, the anger, desperation, doubts, everything that Mia, her grandparents, Adam and Kim are feeling, seriously, I couldn't stop crying.The story takes you back and forth, you get to see every character in all these happy or sad memories, but you get to know her family, her friends, her boyfriend, her life in general, and you understand how much she's lost, and you can't help but feel what she's feeling, so of course, you end up crying.So, Mia has a decision to make, to go or to stay and live, even though living means confronting everything that has happened to her, everything she has lost."There are like twenty people in that waiting room right now, some of them are related to you. Some of them are not. But we're all your family." She stops now. Leans over me so that the tips of her hair tickle my face. She kisses me on the forehead. "You still have a family", she whispers.This is so full of hope, sadness, longing. All I thought when I read this part was that those words were so adequate, so perfect. It capture the meaning of family, friends and love. This book was absolutely gorgeous. It moves you from the very start, and its impossible for you not to feel. | 5 | Can I give it 1000 stars? | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | I'll start by saying that I didn't like this book. At first I thought it was ok-ish, but the more I read, the more the main character frustrated me.At first, all I could think was "why isn't she reporting this?", the fact that there were underage kids drinking isn't a good excuse. Not for me at least. If you told me the girl was scared because the guy threatened her or something... but no, her first thought was: "I can't report this, I might get my friends in trouble!" Not ok.Now, about the love story. Well, I felt the story didn't have any real depth between Lucas and Jaqueline. I mean, every time they saw each other, they didn't have full conversations, they just crossed a few words, but that was it. They had no self control. So that was an issue for me. I didn't actually see the depth of the relationship.Next, he lied. I get it, I get it, in every book there's a lie or something left unsaid, that becomes the reason why the couple break up or fight.. And that's ok, I mean, that's part of the drama. But in this case, man.. This girl didn't get angry or mad or anything... So, it bothered me that she wouldn't stand up for herself. Not even when the guy she liked/loved lied to her.Last, but not least... I didn't feel like there was that huge OMG moment. The hugeee break up? The hugeee fight between these two? There was none. Every time there was something "worthy" of a fight... well, she just showed up wherever he was and everything was right with the world. Seriously? And then I thought, ok, MAYBE just maybe, the huge fight is not supposed to be between Jackie and Lucas, maybe the real trouble will be caused by Buck. And that would've been ok with me, really... But man, it was SO NOT the case. So, when this guy (Buck) shows up, there's some struggle between him and Jackie, and then Lucas shows up (because he was going after her because they got in this super (not) fight) and beats the crap out of him. AGAIN. And AGAIN everything is just fine.So yeah, there were a lot of things I didn't like. Where was that huge dramatic, traumatic, chaotic, whatever you want to call it, moment? When the world seems to be ending for both, the characters and for you as a reader, so there could be the sweet moment when they finally understand they can't live without each other *sigh* (as corny as it may sound, but admit it, you live for those moments, I know I do). It didn't exist.Actually, I found myself rolling my eyes soooo many times and counting the pages to see how many I had left. It was annoying. (I don't really know why I didn't just drop the book, so don't ask) | 1 | Yeah, I didn't like it. | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | Wow! This book! I needed a few days before I wrote my review because seriously... THIS BLEW MY MIND AWAY! When I finished it I was so confused, and excited and speechless. Maggie Stiefvater, she's just amazing. We have yet another book full of magic, possibilities, dreams... And they all seem so real. Maggie once again presented a world where everything is possible, you just have to believe it can be real. Her magic feels real.On The Dream Thieves, the quest for Glendower is still going and it is more intense and confusing since now the ley line is awake. But Blue and her Raven Boys are now facing new threats. They don't know it for sure, but there are other people interested on the ley line and everything that comes along with it. Every single possibility it represents. We have the characters we all know and love, like the Raven Boys and Blue and her family. They're all important, but we also have a few more characters added to the story. And from these new characters, a new ally might appear (well, that's what I think).If you've read the first book, you know this series is full of points of view. In this one we add Ronan's and a few other's POV to the mix. With Ronan... You first meet him as the intense and problematic part of the group. On this book, you understand where his anger comes from. The story behind his dad's death. How he feels towards some people (people who I won't mention, but let me tell you... I KNEW IT). He's discovering who and what he is, what he's capable of. Also, who's like him or appears to be like him, and the part they play with the ley line.Then we have Adam. Adam, the responsible for waking up the ley line. The one who's changing and doesn't understand why and what's happening to him. He's so angry all the time. I don't really like him. I didn't like him on the first book and I didn't like him on this one. He's too resentful and I hate how he makes Gansey feel. Like he's to blame for everything. I understand, his life hasn't been easy, he wants more for him, but there are ways to do it. Getting help is not a bad thing.Blue and Gansey... There wasn't enough of these two Maggie! Come on. I know this story is not about the romance, it is a part of it, but not all. But come on! This is torture. That scene, THAT SCENE! Oh my God! It was amazing, beautiful, romantic and devastating all at the same time. I need more. Their romance grows slowly. It's not the typical love story. But it's beautiful. Both of them start to realize how much they can rely on each other. How much they actually matter to each other. This was unbelievable.And talking about torture. Dear God woman! What was that last scene? Jesus.The ley line is more than what they all thought at first. It is powerful and unpredictable and full of magic. Every time there's some interaction with it, like some one waking it up, or finding it again or whatever... The ley line is going to respond. If it's going to give them something, the ley line has to take something back.I can't wait to read the next book. I'm already dying to have it.Congratulations Maggie Stiefvater for another great book | 5 | I can't wait for the next book!!!!!!!! | 1,390,953,600 | 01 29, 2014 |

] | I really liked this book. This is actually my third book by Rainbow Rowell, and I have to say I just love her. She's an incredible writer.Fangirl is a story about a girl who's force to live without her twin sister for the first time, so she's trying to find out who she is without her. She gets a friend in her roommate when she's not looking and she meets the perfect boy for her but she doesn't know how to do the boyfriend-girlfriend thing.The characters were really cute. It's amazing, but Rainbow Rowell always manages to create these lovable characters. Cathie's an innocent girl, a little shy, while Levi is outgoing and happy and fun. They complement each other. I love how she describes them and every situation they go through.This is definitely a cute and light story. I enjoyed it very much. | 4 | This was a very cute and light read! | 1,382,745,600 | 10 26, 2013 |

] | September 24, 2013Ok, now that I've had a little more time to process this book, I think I can try to write a review. Not that a couple of hours can do much with my recovery process, since I don't think I'll be able to recover, not entirely lol. Anyway, here it goes...Let's start with the story. How to Kill a Rock Star is an amazing book! I seriously recommend it to anyone looking for a love story. Well, this is the story of Eliza, a music journalist, and Paul, a musician with so much talent he could get goose bumps on everyone by only singing for 10 seconds. As he would say, 'that's the difference between the real stuff and the crap.' He was only devoted to his music, his band and Eliza. And she was devoted to him and her work. But of course, happiness doesn't last, because, as Paul said 'happiness is a fleeting condition, not a goddamn state of mind.' , so of course, everything had to go down. The story of these two lovebirds was completely devastating and insanely beautiful, there were some points where I had to stop reading, because my heart couldn't take it, I was feeling everything as if it was happening to me, and for me, that's what makes a book a good one, when the story is so well written and it is so full of emotions, you don't just read it, you live it.Now, the characters. What can I say of Paul and Eliza? First of all, Paul is perfection. He lived for the music he played and the woman he loved. Eliza, even though I hated you, for a long time... I get it! So, no hard feelings. She's a great character and she would do anything to help Paul make it as the musician she knew he was. (Although I still think there were OTHER OPTIONS Eliza, seriously! There goes the "no hard feelings" crap) Other than these two.. There's Loring, Loring Blackman. If you know me, you'll know why I didn't like him, but I have to admit he acted as a true friend to Eliza, never overstepped or tried anything less than honest and decent. So, ok, that gave him some points, but not enough.Oh and Winkle, I can't forget about Winkle, his caterpillar eyebrows and Winkle Records. That made me laugh. Paul sure knew how to drive that man crazy.So yeah, this book will probably make you laugh, cry, sigh, sob, scream in either happiness or frustration. But its a goddamn must read.I would give it 10 stars if I could.Wow.. Just wow. I need time to recover.Over.PS: this book deserves a lot more than 5 stars. | 5 | First real book heartbreak and it was totally worth it. | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | Racing Savannah is the fourth book of the sweet series Hundred Oaks by Miranda Kenneally. I started this series at the beginning of 2013, and enjoyed it a lot. Catching Jordan is my number one favorite in this series, followed by Racing Savannah. This is such a sweet, cute and happy reading. If you’re looking for something light, something to have fun with.. This might be it!Racing Savannah introduces you to Savannah Barrows, a girl who’s been around horses since she was a little girl. Now, she’s moved to Cedar Hill Farms, in Franklin, Tennessee, where she’ll have to start a new life with her dad and his pregnant girlfriend. Oh, and Jack, Jack Goodwin. Owner of the farm (at least for a year). She knows she has to work hard to have a future. A future far away from what she’s known all her life. She doesn’t want to end up like her father, working for a min wage. So, she plans on working at the farm as a horse exercise rider. She knows everything about how to treat and take care of horses. She knows what she wants and she’s going to get it. At least she’ll give herself a chance to try.This is a lovely story. Like I said, my second favorite of the Hundred Oak Series. Miranda Kenneally knows how to write her stories with a great sense of humor and a great amount of “drama”, even though you don’t get it as the typical end-of-the-world drama. So this is a pretty easy reading. I started it yesterday and a couple of hours later I was halfway through it. It’s not just that’s a light reading, it’s how appealing it is for the reader, at least for me it was. It presents a good, strong female main character. Savannah knows what she wants, she wants more for her, her future and her family’s future, and she wants someone who loves her, no secrets, no hiding. Savannah is smart, strong and loving. She cares about her family and her friends. She has a good heart. She’s passionate about what she loves and I just liked her a lot. She’s such a relatable character. She seemed real. We also have a gorgeous male main character, Jack. He’s following his father’s step, even though it may interfere with what or who he wants for himself . He’s sweet and smart, but so scared of disappointing his dad. He’s learning, not just how to run a farm but to let himself care about someone and stand up for himself. I liked him a lot.This book, just like the previous books, shows a world where friends and family are important. Where what you want and need for yourself is as important as what others want for themselves and what they expect from you. It’s a beautiful series, because it encourages the readers to acknowledge how much self-worth matters. That we shouldn’t put everyone’s needs before ours. At least not always. While you’re reading, you get to see how the main character is growing as a person, challenging herself to do things that she never thought she would. And you kind of get to grow a little bit along with the characters.Oh! And I almost forgot... I especially LOVED Parker and Will's appearance. It was awesome and ohh I just loved it :).I love these books. I like how Miranda Kenneally presents a simple story but adds so many things to it, it ends up being a great and lovely book. | 4 | My second favorite of the Hundred Oaks series!!!! | 1,388,793,600 | 01 4, 2014 |

] | The first 3 books of Kiss By An Angel was I enjoyed it very much, so.. If you're looking for a book with romance, mystery and guardian angels, this is it :).The story was really interesting and different, the romance was the right amount of heartbreaking and lovely, although I thought we could've read a little more of Tristan and Ivy as a couple. The mystery was really good, I had so many theories of what was going on, but then something happened and I had to change my theory (again). So that was fun. There were so many possibilities and the author played them well.The characters were amazing, everyone played their part pretty well so that added a lot to the mystery. There was a good development of the characters. Tristan (I just loved him and felt so bad for him) was the sweetest, you could see how desperately in love he was with Ivy, and I liked her (sometimes, not always), you could feel her sadness and I think that was what made her take some crapy decisions (at least that's what I'm telling myself haha). Oh and I adooooored Phillip.And I can finally say I'm ok with 'the other guy' :) and that is BIG, since I don't usually (and when I say usually I mean NEVER) like the other guy haha | 5 | Lovely, intense, interesting, romantic <3 loved it!!! | 1,391,040,000 | 01 30, 2014 |

] | Let me just say this... I read this book like 4 months ago and I still have a book hangover. It's THAT GOOD. Every day I get reminded of this story in one way or the other. I just can't get over it and I don't really want to <3Oh, I just love books that make me smile... Even though I spent a lot of the time I was reading this book mad at Nate.. There were some parts that had my heart jumping up and down!This first book introduces you to Emi and Nate's friendship, which is clearly more than just that, although they just won't admit it. They laugh and they fight, but they always find their way to each other, thank God because I died a little every time they had a fight. My thoughts on their relationship is that, sure, it's not easy to jump to the unknown, especially when you know the risks of doing it. So I understood where both of them were coming from, BUT, if you don't take risks, how are you really going to find out if things will work out or not? sometimes you just have to have faith that it will.The story was beautifully written, it was well paced and I felt every feeling there is, from frustration, anger and sadness to happiness and giddiness. The characters were just perfect. Let's start with Nate... He messed up a lot. He made a lot of mistakes. But still, he had my heart from the very start. I loved him with his flaws and all and I still do. He was this sweet guy, he was intense, he was passionate, full of so many pure emotions. He's definitely one character you'll never forget, I know I never will. It was obvious how much he cared about Emi, but he didn't know what to do with his feelings, especially since he didn't feel like he was worthy of her. That's never good. And besides, after all, he always had good intentions. He just wanted to have a nice life, he knew it could be better with Emi, but that's something he was sure was never going to happen, so he had to settle with something, right? Ahm, no.Emi on the other hand, she knows what she wants. She wants her dreamy happily ever after, and she's determined to get it. But let's get something straight... Life's hard and relationships are even harder, especially when you're not honest with yourself and how you feel. But anyway... I loved her! Even when Nate was being a complete ass, she was good to him, but not because she was a pushover or stupid.. No, I think she just knew how important and good they were to each other. Besides, she stood up to him when she really had to. I really liked her, she's so good and sweet and kind of naive, so... I could relate to her.Oh, and this... This made me smile, then made me cry, but still.. It made me smile. I loved Nate even more with this (if that's even possible)."Hi, little one,Thirteen years, one night.Nine months. One small baby will deliver true love.I can't wait to see you."And that ending... I knew it was coming, I had been expecting it for so loooooong, and still... It shocked me! (I loved Nate sooo much those last few pages) I can't wait to read the second book!!!! | 5 | 1000000+++ stars! This book is just... PERFECT! MUST READ PEOPLE. | 1,394,236,800 | 03 8, 2014 |

] | Ok, so... How do I start this review? Ok, yeah. Saying this book is an emotional roller coaster is an understatement. So, I'll give you a piece of advice, you should buddy read this. Don't do it alone, because you'll need the support. Trust me. I actually read this with a friend of mine, and even so, I was still a mess. Oh, and get a whole box of tissues (or maybe ten).This is the second book of the Emi Lost & Found series, and I have to say, it was a little hard for me to read.. Not because the book was hard to understand, or the characters were unbelievable (well, Emi was sometimes, but for different reasons), or bad or anything like that. No, in fact, it was the entire opposite.Time Stands Still is from Emi's POV, you get to know her a little better, how she deals with every situation she has to face. You get to know her, like her, dislike her, be mad at her and mourn with her. In my case, I was pretty upset with her a great part of the book. Wanna know why? Well, sometimes I just felt she wasn't appreciating her relationship with Nate enough, like she was second-guessing it and just leaving him behind. And come on, Nate's her soulmate. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. How could she think she was wrong about that? Oh yeah, because of Jack, but I'll talk about him later. So, in my frustrated moment, I asked for some guidance, right? Because I couldn't believe how Emi was acting. So this great and wise woman (thank you Lori L. Otto) told me I had to give Emi a try, be patient with her. And that's what helped me get through this whole situation. I decided Emi has the right to question everything and, eventually, move on. And I know, deep in my heart, she won't forget him. As in ever. And that gives me peace of mind.So, back to Jack. This guy is...wow! He made me feel guilty the whole time, just like Emi felt at the beginning of it all. He was always showing up and doing the sweetest things for Emi. And I liked him (here comes the guilt haha), and that's a whole new thing for me, since (like I've said in other reviews) I don't usually like "the other guy" of the story, but I know this situation is different, so I've allowed myself to actually like him and give him a chance. And why wouldn't I? He's considerate, sweet, patient, adorable and he cares for Emi deeply, you can see it.But still, I love and miss Nate. I don't think I'll put this whole thing behind me any time soon. Every time I remember what happened I start to cry and cry and cry. Like I said, I'm a mess when it comes to my emotions and this book haha.So, overall.. I loved this book. It may sound weird, since I was crying the entire thing, but really, this story is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.Thank you Lori, for giving me the chance to meet this beautiful characters and their story <3 | 5 | oh, my heart. Heartbreaking and yet wonderful. WOW! | 1,394,236,800 | 03 8, 2014 |

] | The last book. Wow, I never thought this series was going to affect me as much as it did. I was truly enthralled by the story and the characters. This series is now one of my absolute favorites.First of all, I'd like to say that I loved how each book is from a different POV. First you get to know Nate. Nate who is an amazing guy, devoted, passionate, creative, adorable, sweet, and the list goes on. Then we get to know Emi a little better, but in this second book, you get to really know her, how she thinks and reacts. And then.. We get Jack. He's such a good guy, you can't help but like him and even love him. So, the fact that you can get to know these three characters as individuals makes the whole story a lot better. You can relate to all three of them. Well, I did anyway.About the book. Well, in book 2 I knew Jack loved Emi. He was so sweet to her and considerate and reliable. It was obvious he was completely in love with her. But, in this book you know, for certain how important she really is to him. Sure, he truly was her rock, her stability. And all of this was tested when new complications appeared. Emi's life wasn't an easy one, but Jack stayed, he helped her get through it when no one else could. The only other person who could've helped her, wasn't there. So I guess, no, I know, Jack was good for Emi and maybe, after everything that happened, he was the one for her. (But hey, don't get the wrong idea, I'm only saying this because Nate wasn't in the picture).I loved the last couple of chapters. Especially the one where they meet Livvy. I'm sad I didn't get to know her a little better, but I guess I'll have to read the Choisie series for that :).I'm sorry I'm not that much of a fan of Jack. I'm too attached to Nate. It's not that I don't like or love him, it's just that my mind and heart was (still is) set on Nate.Oh, I wanted to add something else. The writing of these three books is amazing. From the first book it captures you and can't stop reading. Every little detail is amazingly described. Each character has his/her own personality, which are great, and the story's development is perfect.I still miss Nate. <3 | 5 | Wonderful characters, amazing story, perfect series <3 | 1,394,236,800 | 03 8, 2014 |

] | Well, what a nice surprise this was :)This is a story of Immortals, they’re a lot like vampires, but are not. Roseline Dragomir, is now Roseline Enescue. When she was 17 years old, was forced into marrying Vladimir Enescue, and that dreadful day ended up turning into a massacre. Everyone she cared about was killed by Vladimir’s and Lucien’s (his brother) hands, and that same day she was reborn. Now, she’s 300 years old. After a few failed attempts at escaping, now she finds her chance. She manages to leave Bran Castle and she’s not planning to ever go back.My thoughts:So, the plot turned out to be really interesting. The story of Roseline’s life isn’t that specific, I mean, we don’t get a look at how it is at Bran Castle, how Vladimir treats her, we just get glimpses of it, what she’s been through during all those 300 years living there. It’s obvious how much she despises her life there and her “husband”, and she can only trust and feel safe around one person there, her best friend Fane. But that’s not enough, she needs out. She wants to be free of that torturous monster. I read somewhere that the character wasn’t badass enough. I have to disagree there, I mean yeah, the girl isn’t the typical I’m-gonna-kick-your-ass kind of girl, at least not always, but she was a pretty strong character to me.So, Roseline finally gets out. She goes to America to find some peace from her old life, what she wasn’t expecting was to make friends and fall in love. And that’s what scares her the most. Falling for a human is forbidden. Her relationship with Gabriel was something special. It’s obvious Roseline is fighting with all she has to stay away, but the pull is just too strong. I liked the way their relationship was described. It didn’t feel like it was too fast or too exaggerated. The connection between them was instant, yes, but their relationship was not. So you get the chance to see a development in their love story. The story itself was really well paced and nicely written. I really enjoyed it.The characters:So, I felt for Roseline from the start. The girl hates being what she is and what had to be done to make her an Immortal and she may not have stood up for herself during those 300 years in front of Vladimir, but I understand why she didn’t. The guy is a monster. And, to be fair, to have to go through all that torture and still be brave enough to try to escape… That’s pretty badass to me. I understood the way she acted when she got to Chicago, she wanted to stay under the radar but trouble kept finding her. And by trouble I mean Gabriel <3. I liked how she felt about him, even though she kep running away from him. She was just trying to keep herself safe.Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel. Oh I like you. He’s honest. He’s impulsive. He’s strong and he’s open minded. I liked how he was always telling Rose how he felt, even though she wouldn’t tell him anything back. I loved how he would risk anything to help Roseline. Yes, he acted like a jerk sometimes, but he’s a guy. They can be pretty infuriating sometimes (haha).Then we have Fane. Oh Fane, I’m not sure about you yet. You’re the other guy of the story so (or that’s who I think you are).. I’m sorry, but by default I don’t like you. I didn’t like his attitude towards Roseline, I understand where he’s coming from but I don’t know. Let’s see how this goes when I start the second book ;).I already one-clicked the box set, so let’s see how that goes. I’m pretty excited about it! | 4 | What a nice surprise! :) | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | Slammed is the first book of the series, and it introduces you to Layken, a girl who’s feeling a little lost in the world, and Will, a boy who can be everything but lost, since he has so many responsibilities. I loved how everything was presented in this story.. Especially the poems. Those poems will kill you, either from happiness or sadness, but they’re all amazing.I’ve read this particular book twice now and the second time was as good as the first one. About the characters… Will is amazing, he’s incredibly good at heart. Even though he messes up a couple of times, I know and understand why he did it, and even so, I just loved him. I love Lake too, she’s a great female main character, her reactions are completely normal, her situation is not an easy one, and everyone has the right to be mad sometimes :).. Last but not least, Kel and Caulder… those kids sure can teach you a few things about life! They’re awesome.I would recommend this book to ANYONE looking for a good love story, because it is sooo much more than just that. The writing is incredible, I just love how Colleen Hoover’s book, she’s an amazing author. Her books are completely relatable and you just know she’s going for something real. | 5 | WOW! Colleen Hoover you are simply AMAZING. | 1,390,953,600 | 01 29, 2014 |

] | Ok so.. Let’s get something out of the way.. TRAVIS IS BACK! Yaaaay.. I was so happy when I heard there was going to be another book with Travis on it :).That said.. Let’s talk about the book.A beautiful wedding is the story of Travis and Abby’s weeding. How and why they did it, who knew about it and how they felt about it :). After going through all that mess with the fire and all those deaths, they decided to go to Vegas one more time and get married.At first, I was a bit worried about Abby’s reasons, because even though they were valid and came out of pure concern about Travis, they kind of took away the romantic gesture that was created on the first book. So I was kind of scared that the book would turn out to be a disappointment. But at the end, was it ‘crazy? Yes. Wrong? No.’I think this book is just ‘the story after the happy ending’, well kind of. Here you get to see they were both nervous, they both had reasons to do it, and they both were happy to do it. Travis was exceptionally excited, I thought it was so cute how he was all nervous and happy, but scared at the same time that she would freak out and leave him again, or that it was just all a dream. Because all he wanted was to be with Abby.Abby, was all business at first. She had a mission to accomplish and she wouldn’t leave until it was done. But then, her head was getting in the way. She was, in fact, freaking out. She just needed a little push and of course, Travis, knowing he was doing it or not, helped her. He gave her something so valuable and important, she knew what she had and wanted to do. His mother’s letter was all the push she needed. I think it was in that moment she knew it was more than just about saving Travis, it was about being with the person who loved you the most. It was about getting a happy ending.“When a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever”I loved that letter.On BD and WD, these two had to face a lot of ups and downs, but it only made them stronger as a couple, even the time they were apart. It just helped them understand they were perfect for each other. They were good for each other.“This thing might turn out to be a completely wonderful, beautiful disaster, but I want that if that sits with you.”The story about Travis and Abby is just wonderful. I love how they found and saved each other. The writing in this book was as good as it was with the other two. How their feelings are described.. It kind of feels like your part of the whole story, and I love that. This is a good book, not as good as the first two were, but only because the drama in this one isn’t as intense as in the other two. Aside. That, I think the story was good and cute. Enough to make me happy :). | 4 | Travis is BACK! <3 | 1,390,953,600 | 01 29, 2014 |

] | This wasn't what I was expecting in so many ways. I liked the story line a lot, it was completely different and it presented a new kind of way to see the world and love and live in general. It had everything any Colleen Hoover book must have, but I don't know, I didn't love it like I thought I would or like I loved Slammed or Hopeless. Let me explain.The story:Maybe Someday is the story of Sydney and Ridge, how they met, how they fell in love and how they were so right for each other, even when their timing wasn't. When they first met (officially) Sydney was having the worst day, needing to find some place to live, since she was now homeless thanks to her pig ex boyfriend and roommate so Ridge kindly offers her his house. Since the first day they both saw the other one, there has been some kind of connection. Music brought them together but music would also be the cause of their torment.Like I said, this book had something different. Every book by Colleen Hoover will and I love that about her. She always writes about tough situations in a beautiful way. Her writing is just perfect. That's why I was kind of sad whn I finished the book. Even though it included this big twist in the development of the characters, I felt like the book was lacking something. I'm still not sure what it was exactly, but I didn't find that point in the story or the characters that made me say "wow, I'm in love". With Slammed and Hopeless (I'm talking about them as series), it was instantly. I fell in love with Will and Holder the second they appeared, and not just them.. but how the stoy itself grew.The story was perfectly written. The way she described Ridge's and Sydney's situation, again.. it's so subtle, so COHO. It makes you think of certain things one would take for granted. And some scenes like their first kiss... it was just beautiful. That was one of my favorite parts of the book. Because the whole thing was just so incredibly beautiful. Oh and I just have to say something about the music. The whole experience was just amazing. I did love being able to listen to the songs along with the story. That was so new to me, but it made the whole reading experience an awesome one.But it wasn't enough for me to love the book.The characters:Let's start with Sydney. She's a tough girl. She stood up for herself when she had to. She has a big heart, she's understanding, friendly, honest, and true to her heart. I liked her a lot. She's one of those characters that will do anything for the ones she loves, even if it means her heart will be broken. If doing whatever she has to do will make the other person happy, she'll do it. Which is good, but not always.Then we have Ridge. Ridge was... how do I say it... He was something special. He is nice, he loves in a beautiful way. He teaches you see and feel the world in a new way. He's always trying to do what's right, and that's why he's kind of stuck, even though he doesn't realize it. That is until Sydney shows up. Sometimes, I thought he was just too into his confort zone and he was just afraid to leave it and even though he never wanted to hurt anyone he loved... he ended up doing just that. He just couldn't make up his mind and when he did... it was all for the wrong reasons.I really, really wanted to love it and go crazy about it like I was with Slammed and Hopeless, because thouse books, to me... they were and still are two of my favorites. This won't change my mind on how I feel towards Colleen Hoover's books, I'll read every single one of them :) <3 because she is an amazing author. | 3 | I was expecting so much more :( | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | Contessa is the story of Olivia Sophia Holland. She's Emi' and Jack's daughter. She's a teenager who's starting to see the world through her own eyes and wants to explore more, have more of it, and not by herself of course... There's Jon. Jon Augustus Scott. But there are rules. Contessa is a story of self discovery, growing up and love. But this is also a story that will show you the hard part of being a teenager and how rough relationships between parents and daughters (in this case) can be.My thoughts:First, let me tell you something.. It is no surprise that I loved this story. I mean, it's Lori L. Otto we are talking about. I can't not love her books. That being said, let me tell you what I thought about the story.I thought Contessa was a complicated book to read. Why? Simply because I'm not a teenager anymore and the attitude Olivia had towards some things was just so infuriating. But I guess that's just how kids are these days. I don't remember being that defiant. Just know that this book shows you exactly how kids act, well at least some. It is real. The thoughts, the attitude, the way Olivia saw everything... I thought it was pretty accurate to how a teenager would think and act. Lori's an expert writing real characters and real stories. It's amazing, how they always are just so right.I loved Contessa. This is a wonderful story that goes after the Emi Lost & Found series. Like I said before, this is about self discovery. Olivia is just starting to see the world through her own eyes, experiencing new things with not so new people, this includes Jack, Emi, Donna and Jon. She's exploring new things as an artist too and that's helping her understand her life a little better, to grow up as a person, it just took her a while to see the real meaning of her art.This book has so much love in it. It has a husband's love towards his wife; a wife's love towards her husband; their love towards their children. A boyfriend and a girlfriend's love towards each other. But mostly, a dad's love towards his daughter. And not only a dad's love... It's Jack's love towards Livvy. And that's beautiful, because every time Jack talked to Livvy, I could see and hear in my mind how much he loved her. It was like I was there, I saw Jack's expressions, heard his love for his daughter in every word he said... and I know this might sound insane, but I swear I felt it that way. It was impossible to read this and not feel how in love Jack was with his daughter (and I mean this in a fatherly way, not a creepy one!!!!), but you could see this from the moment he met her.While I was reading Contessa I was constantly frustrated, because Olivia's actions were too childish sometimes... But I also understood why she acted the way she did, after all, she was just a child. Until she realized that she had to take her responsibilities seriously... There's was never going to be any chance for her to be taken as an adult.The book is focus on one relationship in particular. You would think it was Jon's and Olivia's relationship, but to me, it was between Jack and Olivia. There was obviously a huge wall between them, one that Olivia had put there, one that Jack was constantly trying to take down. Their relationship was breaking and breaking with every passing day, because Olivia didn't want to see the beauty in it. So, it was heartbreaking for me to see how hurtful she was sometimes. Let me talk a little about the characters.Olivia.When I fist met her, she was the sweetest thing. Now, she's all grown up and wants to be on her own. Do what she wants, be with whoever she wants. Yes, she's kind of a brat, but she has the biggest heart. She's compassionate, she adores her family, even when she wasn't acting very maturely, I knew she loved them. I loved her relationship with Emi, it was beautiful to see how trusting they both were with each other. Emi was her mom, but she was also her friend. But Emi is like that.Olivia's art is something especial too. That bond she thought she had with Nate, at first I thought it was so amazing, that she could feel the way she did about someone she hadn't met. That she admired him so much. But then, it totally changed. I hated how she made Nate a bad influence, something that would eventually hurt her family so badly. That would hurt Jack and Emi so much.I love Nate, Lori knows this. He's my number one book boyfriend. And I felt so protective about him reading this book, because Livvy was damaging his image before everyone else's eyes (not mine of course). It wasn't fair. And just so we are clear... I know Nate wasn't perfect. I know this. But to me, he's one character that will stick forever with me. I don't agree with whoever thinks he couldn't have been a great father. He would have. He would've done ANYTHING for Emi and his family, if he'd had the chance. He would've made Emi happy. He would've have grown up, done things differently. I know it. Yes, she's one of the 3 characters with whom I've thought was possible to have two loves. BUT I do think Jack was, is and will always be the perfect father for Olivia.Jack has such an important role in this book and Olivia's life. He's always been so supportive of her and I hated she couldn't see that. She couldn't see past the fact that he was "too protective". I guess, he kind of was, but I guess he has a lot of reasons to be. I loved Jack a lot more in this book. I saw some of his flaws, something that I didn't see in TSS or NLB. This book made him a lot more real to me. And I loved how he loved Olivia, even after everything she had said... But I guess that swap hat fathers do.Jon.Jon. Jon. Jon. Well, he is something. He's mature, he's passionate about the people and things he loves. He's ambitious, respectful, honorable. But he's also kind of bad. Not bad for Livvy, but like... He's defiant. He wanted to show her everything, and at first, I did think they were going too fast. Something that he'll realize later. I loved him. How sweet he was with Livvy. How he'd stand up to Jack and anyone for that matter, to defend Livvy. He loves her, that much is clear. And he knows what he wants and what he needs. When he thought they needed space, he said it. He was honest and I loved that about him.Oh and Donna? That lady is just too much. She's an amazing granna. I loved that she loved Olivia just as if she were her granddaughter for real. She's too loving, she cares a lot about people, especially those around her. I loved her from the very start.This book is just another reason of why I love Lori. | 4 | Amazing!

] | You should probably finish the series before you read this! Especially if you are a Nate fan :). This makes up for everything, I promise.Wow! I can't believe how happy this book has made me, especially since I've been so sad with all that happened on book 1 and 2. I had a smile on my face while I was reading this, but I guess that's what Nate does! :):):):):) I was dying to read this. This was going to bring Nate back. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Because it totally did. <3This book describes how Emi and Nate met and how they became friends. They were both going through some difficult situations, but somehow, they found each other. Nate was what Emi needed, and Emi was what Nate needed. I loved how comfortable they were with each other, even from the first time they met. It was easy for them, they could relate, they found truth and love in each other. I just LOVED it.Nate, oh Nate. How I've missed you. It's not fair this book is so short. But then again, I would read a single page just to have Nate back. Here you see how he meets Emi, how he starts to like her and how he falls in love with her. Just in a matter of days, but it doesn't really matter, because what he feels for Emi is completely true and different. She inspires him. She makes him a better person. And he makes her a better person too."For the first time in my life, I understand what people mean when they talk about artists having their muses. Maybe she's mine."So, after reading all the books and some posts on Lori Otto's page, I understand that maybe, in the story, Nate wasn't Emi's "soulmate". But, I have a hard time accepting it, so... to me he'll always be her soulmate. And she'll always be his :). And that's that."Not today, but someday, I will fight for her. I know what I have to do. When she's ready for love, I'll fight for her."I'm sure I'll read this particular book and Lost & Found again in the future. I loved them that much. | 5 | This brought a smile to my face again. | 1,391,040,000 | 01 30, 2014 |

I would give it more stars if I could.So, while I was reading In The Fields, I could only think how hard it must've been back then, because there were so many thing's you just thought "Ok, people couldn't actually behave like this or treat another human being this way!". That made me so sad and so mad sooooo many times, not at the book of course, but at the situation.The characters were amazing, I'm so impressed because I fell in love with every single one of them, with the exception of one, of course (the mother), but the rest of them were so full of love and compassion and tolerance, it was incredible. They're incredibly real. Caroline is just a girl, but has to go through so many things, she has to grow up pretty fast. And after everything, she still manages to love and trust people. She definitely has a good heart.Isaiah.. I just loved him. Everything he felt he said it and he used to say the sweetest things. I just felt every word he said. I felt for them every time they had to face another rude comment or a difficult situation. Papa, Ruby and Gracie you were the best.This is one beautiful story. Every bad situation leads to something good and amazing. Loved it. | 5 | LOVED IT! | 1,389,571,200 | 01 13, 2014 |

Nick could let himself be there, he could trust, and Alex was always herself, in the dream or not, but she was really likeable. Something that bothered me a little was that last chapter, hmm, I thought the ending was a little over the top and I don't know, a little bit weird.Again, I liked the story, the idea was really interesting, but that ending was a little off.

] | I found this book thanks to Colleen Hoover, who recommended it on her facebook page.Rules of regret is a book that talks about how everyone should live and enjoy life, experience it with no regrets. Everyone has problems, some people have it worst than others, but everyone should be able to find peace at some point and move on.I think this book presents two different but equally hard situations. First, you have Darby, who lost her sister when they were both just little kids. She grew up, sure, but didn't live. She had a routine and life, but she wasn't really living. Then you have Torin. He too lost someone really close to him, his brother, but under different circumstances, only he chose to give meaning to his life and his brother's death. I think it makes you think about how life in general, how we react to certain things and people. And to give ourselves (and other people too) second and third chances.The book was good, I liked it, I just didn't love it. The characters were ok, Darby was a bit too dependent for my taste. But I guess I understand why she was that way. She needed stability after losing a big part of her. I think I could relate a bit more with Torin though. I liked him better, he was so full of life, even after everything he'd been through. This book showed me something I think I already knew, but either way, we should always remember. Even after losing someone, people have to find a way to move on. It doesn't mean you have to forget, you just have to move on, live and enjoy life.I think that was what I liked the most, that and the cover, because seriously.. Look at that cover! I just loved it :) | 3 | Light read.. nice but nothing spectacular. | 1,391,040,000 | 01 30, 2014 |

] | 3.5 / 4 starsOk, I’m between giving the book 3.5 stars or 4, because I really liked it but had some issues with it. I’ll explain.This is the story of Josie Sommers, a girl who’s had a rough life, having to live one traumatic experience by the hands of a monster and being saved by her angel and best friend all in one night. She’s been heartbroken by two guys she loved. She’s been lied to and has lied too. When she starts a new college with her two best friends, after spending one year in community college, she’s hoping to get her degree and keep moving on with her life. Because that’s what she does. She moves on. But things won’t go that easy. She meets Blake. Blake Porter. He’s sweet, he’s different, she feels safe around him. But all that won’t matter when she finds out the truth about him and his family. What can you do when the one you love has been lying to you for years? What can you do when that secret will keep you away from the one you love? I guess, you stay strong and move on.My thoughts:First, let me tell you why I liked the book. The way the story is written is really interesting, I really liked the going back and forth writing. It wasn’t confusing at all, which can happen pretty easily with this kind of writing. The characters were all relatable, they felt real, which is always a +1000, because there’s nothing more boring than a book with un realistic characters. This is a story about strength, moving on, discovering yourself, truth, honesty, facing your fears. Not letting life take you down. The story includes several real and difficult situations, situations that can be hard to get over or move on from. But there’s a sense of wanting. I’ve read several books that include these types of situations, but the girl usually tends to just shut down from her family, friends and life in general. This is not the case. And I liked that.Now my issues with the book. I thought there were soooo many unnecessary scenes. It felt like they were just trying to fill up the blanks that weren’t even there. I have to be honest, at the end, I just skipped a few pages. It got to the point where Jossie and Blake were just doing one thing. I mean, what bothered me was that their conversations got shorter, fewer. It stopped meaning something, you know? The story would’ve felt a lot more focused on what was really going on if it hadn’t had so many what I thought were meaningless (to the plot) sex scenes.The characters:Now the characters. First we have Jossie. She’s one of the strongest characters I’ve read. She believes in herself. Yes, she has her moments of self doubt, anyone can have those, but, she’s been through so much her entire life, that those moments are really very few. She has her mind set, every time something happens to her, she knows she has to get back up. She has to move on, and that’s exactly what she does. She’s a complete survivor, but she doesn’t just survives, she has learned how to deal with abuse, death, heartbreaks. Every kind of loss. I didn’t like some of her decisions, some of them were really all about her, she was being selfish. She was kind of selfish with Blake and with Seth. I believe she made a huge mistake. I think, towards the end, she was just too desperate, but I didn’t like (at all) her rushed decisions. It’s just my opinion though. I totally agree with Blake’s reaction.Now the boys. Well, this gets kind of confusing for me because.. I wasn’t sure who I liked better. Sometimes I was team Blake, no doubt. But then… I was hoping Seth would have a chance with Jossie, a real chance. (You get my confusion?) I really can’t say who I like better. I know who’s the one for her, that’s very clear. I’ll just keep on wishing…Blake, he’s the sweet, protective guy. He loves with passion and intensity. He’s strong, he knows how to treat Jossie, how to make her feel special. He’s attentive, considerate. He won’t ask more questions than he should. He just knows exactly what to do to make Jossie feel safe and loved.Seth on the other hand… He is Jossie’s savior, her best friend, her first love. He’ll do anything for Jossie. But he’s a man whore. The guy can keep it in. Of course, that’s because all he wants to do is forget the best friend he knows he won’t ever have. Not like he wants to anyway. He’s screwed up his chance once. And he’ll probably never get another, but I think he’s the kind of friend that sticks around, because what matters most to him is having Jossie, in any way he can.So, this story is not a 3 stars kind of story. But, since I had those little problems, it isn’t a 4 stars either. It could’ve been. The story has a new kind of twist. Some things can be seen from the start, yes… but there are other that you don’t expect. I’m really interested in reading more about this story and these characters. Will Seth have another chance? Will Blake forgive Jossie? | 3 | I liked it. It's a good story! | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | Again, another wonderful book by Lori L. Otto. You just can't not love her books and her characters.First of all, I want to say thank you to Lori for giving me the chance to read and ARC of this amazing book. <3 I loved it and I can't wait to read the next one.In book 1, you meet Contessa, Jack Holland's little girl, only she's not a little girl anymore. She's starting to grow up, to see the world through her own eyes and like I've said before, she wants it all, even if it means she has to lie and sneak around to get it. But this second book is another story.Olivia's life has had a lot of ups and downs since she was little, but still, she's managed to learn how to deal with those situations, sometimes making a lot of mistakes, but at the end she's done what she knows is right. There's more maturity in her and she tries to be as honest as she can, which is something I liked a lot. She's still the innocent little girl, but with more confidence.I don't know if I'm the only one who felt this way about the book, but I still don't feel like it was just a love story. Like in book 1, in which I felt it was the story of the struggle and reconciliation between a father and his daughter, to me, Olivia is the story of growing up. Of accepting accepting and being exactly who you are, no matter how the people around you see you or want you to be. She now has to deal with two great loss, two things she loved more than anything in her life. So she starts to focus all her attention in that other thing she loves, Jon. It was her way of dealing and what she thought would help her heal, because he kept her distracted and she needed that.Through the whole book I felt her struggle, how frustrated she was because she couldn't go back to the way she was before, some moments were more noticeable than others, and even though Jon made her completely happy, there was always something missing.Well, first I'd like to say that in this story you see the way the characters grow. I'm the youngest to the oldest, they've all learned different life lessons that made them a lot more patient a lovable and real. The story line is a lot more capturing, not that Contessa wasn't, but this one allows you to relate more and more to with the main characters.So, what did I think about Olivia this time? Well, she obviously grew up a lot since book 1. She's the same girl but with another perspective on life. She now knows, no doubt, how much her dad loves her, how much she means to him and her entire family. She's more confident about herself as a person and deep down, as an artist too. The only thing is, she became too dependent on Jon and their relationship, which kind of frustrated me. I feel she needs to be on her own a little, get to know herself a little bit better and experience life from her own perspective. And I think she'll get her time.I like Jon, I really do but, even though Livvy denied he was the reason and even though I KNOW Jon would never do that on purpose, I felt he was kind of holding her back. They both need time.I can't wait to read next book. I'm sure it will be as beautiful as all her books.<3 | 5 | How could you not LOVE Lori L. Otto?! Best author ever. | 1,405,123,200 | 07 12, 2014 |

] | Well, well, well, what a nice surprise this was. If you’re a fan of Jennifer Armentrout’s Lux series, you’ll enjoy this book.This is the story of Deliah and how her whole life was changed in a matter of months. Her grandmother recently died, her sister hates her and the nightmares that came around the same time of her grandmother’s death are giving her horrible headaches. Everything gets worse when the Wates come to town, Garreth, Leighton and Travis. Garreth being hot one second and cold the next, and Travis… he’s just down right mean. Leighton, on the other hand was sweet and friendly from the start. Oh, and let’s not forget about the horrible visions Deliah gets every time she crosses gazes with Garreth. Yes, these people are weird, they have deep secrets and all of them seem to lead to Deliah.This book was really, really good. I was hooked from the start. You won’t get to understand everything right away… But you start forming ideas of what’s happening and what are these secrets and monsters really about. I really liked the characters, they were all very, very well presented. Deliah is a shy girl, she doesn’t like attention, mainly because she’s gotten a lot of bad attention thanks to her scandalous sister. But she’s a strong character. She won’t stand anyone treating her badly or anything. Then we have Garreth… Oh I liked him! He first starts being this mean guy.. but as Deliah starts to get to know him… She starts seeing another side of him, a nicer side. A side she starts to like. He has some sweet gestures and he’ll do anything to protect those he loves. Leighton.. She’s a nice strong girl too. She’s the one who knows how to calm the people around her and get everything done right. Travis, well he’s full of surprises, I’ll tell you that.This is a really good story, and like my BBS said, it also reminded me of The Mortal Instruments series, but it was more like the Lux series to me. I loved Garreth and Deliah’s relationship. He’ll do anything to protect her and so will she. He’s sweet to her and you know he loves her. I really hope there’s going to be a second book. There’s no way this story is ending like this. | 4 | What a nice surprise!! :D This is a great book! | 1,390,953,600 | 01 29, 2014 |

] | Are you up for some crying? Because this will make you cry, a lot. But also, it'll make you fall in love with the characters and the whole story :) so, you'll have happy moments too.This series is incredible, heartbreaking, beautiful, devastating, amazing, sad, happy, exciting, amazing, amazing aaaand yeah, amazing. The Emi Lost & Found series is an emotional roller coaster, that's for sure. For a while, I wanted to read something that would make me experience the story, and this one did it. I couldn't stop screaming in frustration at first, then I couldn't stop smiling, then I couldn't stop crying. The crying went on for a while, almost through the whole second book and part of the third. But seriously, WOW! I loved it, I absolutely LOVED IT.The book is beautifully written. The characters allow you to relate; you grow up with them, you feel what they feel. Seriously, it's amazing. The pace of the story is perfect. This is something I'll reread many, many times, especially the first book and the prequel :).Oh, and I love, love, love Nate :) | 5 | wow!!!! LOVED IT and recommend it to anyone :) | 1,385,683,200 | 11 29, 2013 |

] | 3.5 starsThis is the second book of The Arotas Trilogy by Amy Miles. At first, I was super excited because I liked the first book so much. Don’t get me wrong, I liked this one too, just not as much. I get this is like a transition kind of book, but it was kind of slow for my taste. I still enjoyed it though.In this book, you get to see Roseline and Gabriel grow a little bit more as characters, the same goes with Nicolae. Here, the characters get to have a development a little more profound since it’s some kind of quest. Everyone is trying to figure out the truth, what their destiny truly is. But as they get farther and farther in this discovery, some new threats come along.About the story:Ok, well like I said, I really enjoyed the book. It took me a while to finish it since I haven’t had that much time to read. The thing that was kind of a disappointment was the slow pace of the book, but other than that, it was good. We have a major separation here, it was so frustrating, but Amy manages to keep the book mysterious enough to keep you reading. There are new characters, some I liked and some I was super suspicious about (and with good reasons). Like I said, Reckoning is like a transition book, here you get a few more answers about what’s going on… You get to understand a little more the Immortal world and Roseline and Gabriel’s bond.There’s some action, which was pretty good actually. Here, Roseline is the badass I always knew she was. No body messes with her and the ones she loves. She gets and will get her revenge on everyone who has hurt her in some way or another. She’s a lot more determined in this book. There are some twists I liked, like the explanation of what the Immortals really are (I won’t say much about it) and the end. I wasn’t really expecting it, I mean, sure… I knew something was up, but I wasn’t expecting THAT, so it kind of took me by surprise.About the characters:Ok so, since we don’t get to see that much of Gabriel and Roseline as a couple, we get to know them separately, which is good. Even though I already knew a little bit more about Roseline from the first book, here you get to know Gabriel, his point of view, his feelings, his doubts, his strengths, which are not that specific in the first book. He’s the sort of guy who’ll do anything for the girl he loves, even if it means leaving her behind today, to save her later. I love him. He’s sweet and strong and loyal and so many good things, even knowing where he comes from, he’s still good.Roseline is a awesome badass. I love her. No matter how sad she is, how much pain she has to face, physically and/or emotionally, she will do whatever she has to do to get to the boy she loves. I hope I get to see a lot more of Gabriel and Roseline in the next book, because there was some in the first book, none in the second… it’s time for them to be able to be together, don’t you think? :) She’s honest. If you hadn’t seen that in the first book, you’ll get to see it here. I love that she’s able to keep her feelings straight. She’s not one of those female characters that just because she’s not currently with the boy she loves, she finds “shelter” with another guy. Yes, she’s constantly being comforted by Fane, but she’s not giving him any false hope to what she wants.Fane… well, I don’t care that much about him. I mean, yes, he’s a true friend to Rose and I appreciate that, BUT to me he’s the other guy, and you know how I think about that ;)Nicolae… Nicolae… Nicolae! I like him. I like his stubbornness, his strength, his loyal qualities. He has become a really good friend to Roseline.I can’t wait to continue this story <3 | 3 | This was nice! I can't wait to finish this story! | 1,401,580,800 | 06 1, 2014 |

] | 3.5 stars**ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for honest review.**Where You’ll Find Me introduces you to a girl, Hanley Helton, who’s been lying to her parents, sneaking out of her house, partying and drinking her way out for a while now. After experiencing a traumatic event a couple of years ago without receiving the proper help from her parents, she decided that it was best to shut down completely. Leaving all deep and meaningful conversations with her family and friends aside. Until she meets Nate. The guy who’s been living in her garage for who knows how long. They both have secrets they don’t want to share, but as they start to get to know each other, their trust grows so it becomes easier for Hanley to share what’s really going on with her. Especially when he seems to be the only person who truly understands her.I’ll start by saying I liked this book. The plot and the characters were pretty entertaining. First you have Hanley, you don’t know much at first about what happened to her, but you know something happened. It’s not hard to guess what that was, at least it was not for me. She’s angry, sad and the guilt is killing her. So she tends to find her escape in alcohol and parties, that way she can find some peace and forget her past, at least for a little while. She’s stubborn as hell and she’ll rather lie to her parents than to make them (or herself) face the truth about what’s going on with her life. Then we have Nate, the runaway kid. We don’t know much about him at first, just that he’s clearly hiding something. Something big. But his secrets can’t be as bad if he’s this sweet guy, right? Yes, he’s a sweet, funny guy. Even though his situations is kind of weird and suspicious, you know he’s good. So I liked him a lot. And he seemed truly worried about Hanley’s well being, even from the start.So, yes, I liked this book, but… Not enough to give it a 4 or 5 star, hence the 3.5. Let me explain my rating.This is a fast and light book and it kind of intrigued me at the beginning, but as the story went on.. the magic kind of disappeared. The book gets too predictable, and even though lately we all know or can assume how a lot of books will turn out, the way the situations are described makes the story believable and real, you know? Of course, there are some things you might think about when you’re reading this book, such as “why would someone let a stranger live in your garage?” or “no one reacts like that when you find some dude living in your garage”, etc. But, let’s put that aside, and think… This is a book, some of the reactions may not be too realistic, but it’s just a book. There are weirder ways for a book character to meet and fall in love with another character. In this case, it didn’t bother me. What did bother me was that I kind of felt like, since the story was coming to an end, it had to increase its pace, so it didn’t go so smoothly. Like, all of the sudden there were all these revelations (Hanley’s, Nate’s parents, Hanley’s parents…) and they all were like “OMG, I can see clearly now!”, so after being mad for a long time, people just forgive everyone and move on? Hmm, no. This was what felt like the most unrealistic part of the book. At the end everything seemed kind of forced. | 4 | 3.5 stars | 1,389,571,200 | 01 13, 2014 |

] | Read in April, 2013For the past few weeks I’ve been indulging in some very hot hockey romance stories with each one being better than the previous one. When Toni asked if I wanted to read the draft of Blue Lines – the 4th story in the Assassins Series – my answer was simply, duh!I’m notorious for ditching in the middle of a series especially if I have to wait eons for the next book to come out, but I can safely say that Toni Aleo’s latest novel has me anxious for more. I’ve never fully invested in a group of characters the way I have in the Assassins Series. It doesn’t matter who the story is about, the supporting cast adds enough diversity and intrigue that you are left with a thirst to know more.Blue Lines had me from page one. The prologue was intense and to be honest I’m one that avoids prologues, but this one hooks you and in a few short pages you feel the connection between the characters.My intent, when I started reading, was to read a chapter and go to bed. At 3 am and at only 65% I had to put it down reluctantly. With only four hours of sleep, I was back reading. I simply couldn’t get enough of Erik and Piper.As I sit here, I want to tell you everything. I want to spill on the emotions that Toni’s characters are experiencing. I want to make you drool over Erik and the sex appeal that he has and make you wish you were the fun-loving and free-spirited Piper, but I can’t. I will say that Blue Lines is without a doubt a hat trick (nice hockey pun). I couldn’t read it fast enough, yet wanted to savor every word and when I finished I was excited for Erik and Piper and their journey.Blue Lines is sexy and riveting with the perfect combination of love and lust. | 5 | Blue Lines is sexy and riveting with the perfect combination of love and lust. | 1,386,547,200 | 12 9, 2013 |
