Review: Through the Ever Night

Through the Ever Night

Veronica Rossi

Released: January 8, 2013

Published by: HarperCollins

So I have literally waited a whole year for this book and it did not disappoint. Since today is the Snowpocalypse and we have no school, might as well catch up on my poorly neglected blog. 

Plot. I could not put this book down. I annoyed my teachers. I annoyed my friends. I have been waiting for this book forever and I freaking love it. I laughed. I cried. I screamed at it a few times. About halfway through, I found myself asking "What happened to the happiness of the first two chapters!?!" While I'm hoping a certain character is not dead (WHY!?!), the ending was fairly happy. Okay. More like bittersweet. But I am praying for a happily ever after in the final book. Please let Perry and Aria live happily ever after! 

Characters. Roar was fabulous per usual. I wanted to hug Aria while she was with the Tides and everyone was treating her like crap. I feel like Perry was way over his head being Bloodlord but he pulled through in the end, thank God! I love all of these characters so much and whenever something bad happened to them, I was like "WHY!?!?! NOT THEM!!" 

I love the reference to The Phantom of the Opera and the Paris Opera House. I was in Paris last April and I absolutely loved the Opera House. Plus, The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite play/musical ever. I have seen the 2004 movie version like a bazillion times and the reference made my day. Really wish that I could hear Aria singing it.

So I highly recommend reading Under the Never Sky and Through the Ever Night. If you want a completely unique dystopian novel, then try these two. The story is beautifully written and will draw you in from the very first page. So go out and buy these books! Perfect for today's Snowpocalypse!

Review: Hollowland

Hollowland

Amanda Hocking

Released: October 1, 2010

Description from Goodreads:

Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.

Wow. This was one book filled with nonstop, butt kicking action. The characters were amazing and believable. The descriptions of the zombies really disgusting and well written. Remy's dedication to her younger brother is outstanding and I love it. While this is not one of my favorite books from Amanda Hocking, it was still a really good read and I recommend it to people who want more action than a romance.

Review: Everneath

Everneath 

Brodi Ashton

Released: January 24, 2012

Published by: HarperCollins/ Balzer + Bray

Description from Goodreads:

Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now she's returned--to her old life, her family, her boyfriend--before she's banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.

Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance--and the one person she loves more than anything. But there's just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.

As Nikki's time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole's queen.

Whew. Time for a review. I have been slacking. Stupid senior year. 

Plot. When I first started this, I was like "What the heck am I reading?" It did not take long afterwards for me to become hooked. The whole idea of the Everneath really interested me and it kept me wanting to know more about it. I quickly finished it later. Thank you lovely cliffhanger. I need the second book ASAP. 

Characters. I am surprised that I did not like Nicki that much. She did not flat out bugged me like Nora Grey (Hush, Hush), so I really don't know why I wasn't overly thrilled with her. Jack was pretty cool. I love his dedication to Nicki. But let's talk about the best character: Cole. I just freaking adore that guy. Usually I'm all for the guy that the girl was first with in the whole love triangle situation, but I really wish/hope that Cole ends up with Nicki (Which probably won't happen. That is why fanfiction was invented for a reason!!). They just seem like they would be a great couple, despite the fact that A) he tricked her. B) he feeds off of her emotions. C) he took her away from everything she known/loved. But other than that, he's a great character. Okay. Maybe I just have a weakness towards that name. 

So I am excited to read the next one. I am a major geek for all things Greek/Egyptian/Roman mythology and this is such an amazing and unique twist on the Persephone myth. It wasn't one of my favorite retelling of mythology, but still a really good read regardless. So I recommend anyone who loves mythology as much as I do to read this.

Forgotten Lyrics

Amanda Hocking

Released: October 30, 2012

Published by: St. Martin's Griffin

ebook

 

 

Description from Goodreads:

 

Aggie is a mythological creature on a secret mission.  Lydia is a young woman from a magical family with no real powers of her own. And Daniel is a high school boy who’s made it his duty to protect his deeply troubled older brother.  Then one fateful night, their lives collide in a terrifying accident that changes them all forever. And beneath the surface, the ripple effects of the accident will have more impact than anyone could ever guess...changing not only their future, but the fate of an entire town.

Wow. This was really short and sweet. I finally got Simon, my Nook, for Christmas and ever since then I have been buying all the novellas that go with my favorite books. I had this read within an hour. It was short.

 

But I did like it. You finally are able to see what really happened to Daniel. But it leaves me with a lot of questions. Who is Lydia? Will she show up again later in the books? And Aggie? Why did she go to Capri in the first place? It does a good job explaining the accident that left the scars on Daniel, but it did open some questions for me. Maybe it was just me who was wondering about these somewhat minor questions, but whatever. It also did give us insight on what happened to Aggie and why the sirens were looking for Gemma.

My biggest question is: Is this the reason why Daniel is not affected by the sirens?

Hmmmmmm.....I hope Lydia and Delia return.

 

I read this after I read Lullaby so I knew a few things. Reading this just made me realize how much I really want Tidal to come out. It's released sometime next year. I'm not entirely sure when, but I know it is going to be a long wait. *Sigh*

 

So you can be totally okay not reading this book and just sticking to the main ones. But if you love Watersong books as much as I do, then this would be something to curve your appetite until the next one comes out.

Review: Finale

Finale

Becca Fitzpatrick

Released: October 23, 2012

Published by: Simon and Schuster

*Also check out our previous reviews on books 1-3*

 

Description from Goodreads:

 

Will love conquer all?

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

 

Again, this review will be quick and to the point since I am playing catch up on my NaNoWriMo 2012 project.

 

Plot. What's not to love with the plot? It has everything to it and is as enticing as the first three. It was hard to put the book down. It was seriously addicting.

 

Characters. Patch is still amazing and drop dead gorgeous. Nora did not, surprisingly, bug me to much this time. I only yelled at her once. I'll call that an accomplishment. Vee is awesome and remains awesome throughout the whole story.

 

Why did a certain character have to die? WHY? I LOVE THAT CHARACTER SO MUCH. Thanks for breaking my heart.

 

Ending. Hmmm...I wasn't overly thrilled with the ending I guess. Yes, I did like it. I just wish it was hmmm...not *SPOILER* Vee's wedding. I thought she loved Scott but ended up just randomly marrying this British guy. So I was a little disappointed, but it still was an okay ending. *END SPOILER* 

 

So this was a fabulous ending to an amazing saga that I love. If you haven't read these yet, please do, because you will fall head-over-heels in love with them. I highly recommend them, so go out to your local bookstore and buy them. They are just sososososososo enticing and will have you hooked from the very first page.

Cover Reveal: If I Should Die

 

First thought:

 

Oh. My. God. So BEAUTIFUL!

 

Second thought:

 

THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!

 

Third thought:

 

I WANT TO GO BACK TO PARIS NOW!

 



If I Should Die is the last *Sob* book in the Revenants trilogy by Amy Plum. I absolutely love these books because of one, the Paris setting. Who doesn't love Paris? I was in heaven when I was there last April. And two, revenants. They are basically hot, walking dead guys. What is not to love?

So May is going to be awesome! The last Revenant book and the last Starcrossed book comes out. Don't know whether to be sad or happy that everything is ending. I lived in these books for 3 years! Aaww!

Also, if you have read Until I Die, you know that horrible cliffhanger. I cried. Magnus posted to my Facebook wall "I finished it. And want to punch someone". Buffy called me as soon as she finished it, demanding why I let her read it. She screamed at me for a good ten minutes before her little sister told her to shut up.

Yes, we are very excited for this book. I'm hoping for a happy ending. Okay. More like I am praying for a happy ending! May 2013, here we come!

Cover Reveal: The Elite

So today Kiera Cass released the cover for The Elite (with special permission of course). And Oh My Gods, it is BEAUTIFUL! I love the covers for these books. They are probably one of my favorite set of book covers. America is in red and if you put The Selection next to The Elite, your mind will be blown from its amazingness.

Why is America pouting? What is going to happen? WILL SHE END UP WITH MAXON!?!?! Questions...Questions...

Yup. I approve. My lil' sis-who-is-not-really-my-sis and I are dying for this book. She is so going to freak when I show her the cover.

Review: Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception

 

Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception

Maggie Stiefvater

Published by: Flux

Released: October 8, 2008



Description:

Deirde Monaghan is a talented harpist. But when she meets Luke Dillion at one of her competitions, she never expected the immediate connection between the two of them. She starts seeing faeries and learns of Luke's deadly role in the world of Faerie. Stiefvater weaves a magical tale of romance and magic with modernized Celtic Mythology.

Is that description a tad bit sucky? Well...Yeah. That's why I like to borrow them from Goodreads.

So I mostly gave this book a try because I loved Shiver, Linger, and Forever.

This book was WAY different than I expected.

Pros:

Celtic Mythology. I am a huge mythology fan and I don't know much on Celtic Mythology. I love how Maggie Stiefvater created a story with that mythology in it. I have read about Greek Mythology. I have read about Egyptian Mythology. I have read about Norse Mythology. It was nice to read about a different set of myths I don't know that much about.

The characters. I love how Maggie Stiefvater's characters are really unique compared to your typical YA character. Deirde is not a shy girl. Yes, she is unpopular, but she isn't insanely shy. She is a wickedly talented harpist. Luke is not a sarcastic guy. Yes, he does have his sarcastic moments, but he is not a person who hides behind his sarcasm. He has had a hard past. I just love how different they are from others. Same with Grace and Sam from Shiver and Puck and Sean from The Scorpio Races. They are not part of those stereotypical traits that you come to expect from YA characters.

The writing. The way Maggie Stiefvater writes just sucks me into the novel and next thing I know, it's 1:00 in the morning. Yeah, I was expecting something similar to how she sets up her other novels. But this one wasn't. It just strickly followed Deirde's voice and thoughts. I think this was her first novel, and you can see how her writing has changed from each series. I did not like this story as much as her other ones, but I still like it and want to continue because her writing is just good. Seriously. She is an amazing author.

Cons:

Deirde just immediately trusts Luke. Okay. I am not a huge fan of love at first sight, blah, blah. I always think of the stupidity of Romeo and Juliet. The way Deirde just suddenly throws herself at Luke shocked me and annoyed me. She just barely met the guy and decides that she'll play with him at her competition, that she will trust him, that she is in love with him. I kept thinking: "Uhhh...HELLO? Dee, you just met the guy. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. Stop it." It was like this whole: "Hey I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's my number. So call me, maybe? AND I FREAKING LOVE YOU!" No. No. No. No. No. No. Know the guy first before you throw yourself at him. Please. Expecially since Luke has a crap load of secrets.

The ending. I was confused. I had to go and re read it before I semi understood what was happening. I was a little baffled. I need to get my hands on Mag's copy of Ballad because this one just ended. No, it wasn't a cliffhanger. It just stopped. I was assuming there was another chapter. There wasn't.

So if you are a huge mythology geek like moi, check this one out if you want something different from Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Norse. Celtic mythology is really interesting. If you are a fan of Maggie Stiefvater books, then yeah, READ IT. She is an amazing author with insane talent. So go buy this book. Heck, go buy all of her books. You will not regret it.

Review by Calypso

Currently Reading

School is the bane of my existance. It means less reading time and more homework time, which just sucks. So here's what the I am currently reading:

Still reading? Yup. Have I made any more progress? Nope. I have been reading this since July. I really need to finish it, but it is going so so so slowly. AAWW!! Bethany needs to stop over describing everything. I know what a tree looks like.

I just barely got this one back from my aunt and plan on finishing it when I have a minute during the weekend. I really miss Will and Alyss and Halt and Horace.

I need to finish this one and give it back to Mags ASAP. I have so many other books to read though and this one's beginning is so slow. Ugh. Too many books to read. I cannot believe I just said that!

Again, I have not made any more progress on this one either. I just have so many to read and this one is on the bottom of my poor pile. Stupid school.

 

This one I am actually liking. It reminds me so much of Supernatural and I love it and I'm almost finished with it. I have to say I am a huge Nick fan.

 

Yeah. That's the movie poster, but it's what the copy I am borrowing looks like. This book is just odd. It reminds me too much of Catcher in the Rye and I did not like that one. This one is okay. I am only reading it because of the movie. I am only seeing the movie because of Logan Lerman and Emma Watson. If this movie didn't have two of my favorite actors/actresses, I probably would not give it the time of day.

 

 

I only got this book because I am a huge fan of Shiver, Linger, and Forever. This one is WAY different than the other books she has written. I need to get farther along into this one. I'm only a chapter in at the moment.

 

 



I picked up this book thinking it would be similar to Hush, Hush. Nope. So different and weird and odd and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I want to like it, but I am scared that I won't. Ugh.

And lastly, I am re-reading one of my personal favorites, Dreamless. I am obsessed with these books. Starcrossed helped me through a hard time. I have re-read these books so many times, I have them practically memorized. I just barely got this one back after it finally made its way through my bookworms. Oh Dreamless, it has been a long summer vacation without you!

Let's see which one is finished first!

Cover Reveal: The Goddess Inheritance

Sorry I have been MIA with school starting up and not having enough time to read/review. But today The Goddess Inheritance cover was revealed! AND IT IS SO PRETTIFUL ☺

Now, I have a love-hate relationship with these books. The first one drove me absolutely crazy.

My review:
http://www.yeahwelikemaplesyrupandbooks.blogspot.com/2012/07/review-goddess-test.html

Then I read the second book and realized that my hatred towards the first one was a mistake. I judged it way too harshly. I think the second one is much better.

My Review:
http://www.yeahwelikemaplesyrupandbooks.blogspot.com/2012/07/review-goddess-interrupted.html

AND THE ENDING KILLED ME. So I am really excited to hear that this one comes out in March 2013. Only around 200 days or so.

Released: January 5, 2010

 

 

My review on Need, the first book in the series:

http://www.yeahwelikemaplesyrupandbooks.blogspot.com/2012/08/review-need.html

 

 

So I have been wicked busy lately with school starting up in 2 days (Senior Year...WOO!) and haven't had that much time to read. Also, I'm attempting to read 8 books at the same time so that's not real smart on my part. Also trying to balance a job with my reading time because now I have to pay for a car...Anyway, enough about my life. Let's get to the review.

 

Description from Goodreads:

 

He smiles. It's a wicked smile. Kind but not kind. Handsome but dangerous. Feral almost. I can see why Nick nearly killed him, Nick...
I ask again, "Why were you in the road?"
"I was waiting for you."

Zara and her friends thought they'd solved the pixie problem. And they did - sort of. The pixie's are all locked away, deep in the woods. But the king's needs grow stronger each day that he is in captivity, while his control over his people weakens. And it's enough to draw a new king into town. Astley claims he is different. He claims there are pixies who can live peacefully with humans, that it doesn't have to be all violence and nastiness all the time. Zara wants to believe him...until Astley also claims that she is fated to be his queen.

There is no way Zara would ever turn pixie. And she's got good friends who will make sure of that. Besides, she and Nick are so in love they're practically inseparable. But when they very thing Zara wants to protect most is exactly what's at risk, she is forced to make choices she never imagined....

 

I like this book more than the first one. I'm not sure why I did, maybe because it wasn't as odd as the first one or maybe I just became used to the oddness, but I really did like this one. But no book is perfect.

 

It really focused on Zara and Nick's relationship. I usually am a fan of the romances. I secretly and not so secretly root for all of my favorite fictional couples. But Nick and Zara just annoy the crap out of me. They say that they are in love and stuff, but I just, I don't know, buy it. I think it's because I'm not a fan of Nick, which is saying something. I am usually in love with the fictional guy lead. Nick drives me crazy, along with Devyn. I guess all the guys in this book drive me crazy. Then again, I am not a fan of werewolves (Only Sam and Jordan being an exception).

 

She introduces a love triangle. For once, I am not complaining. This book needed a love triangle. Oh my god...Am I sick? Did I just seriously admit that? Holy crap. Now, I'm usually a firm believer that the girl should stay with the guy she first fell in love with. Forget the second guy. GO FOR THE FIRST. (There are a rare few cases where this is not true: Katniss/Peeta, Laurel/Tamani, Wendy/Loki). I just like Astley more than Nick. In fact, I think Astley was the only male character I did not want to strangle in this book.

 

It threw me a little curveball that at first I hated, then learned to love. If you have read this book and are reading this review, then you probably know what I am talking about, seeing as it is basically the reason behind book 3. At first I was saying: "WHAT THE HECK!? I don't even like the guy, but seriously?" Then a few pages later, I was like: "Hehe. Yeah, I am totally okay with this." Next thing I know, I finished the book and it's midnight.

 

Pixies are just like Vampires. In the first one, I was so mad that werewolves/shifters enemies were pixies. I mean, come on, doesn't anybody else think of Pixie Hollow and Tinkerbell? But as I read this one, the pixies are really similar to vampires. That is, if vampires were blue, have a king, and can fly. But other than that, they are very very similar.

 

So that's all I got for this one. Yeah, not a long review. But I am only reading these books as what I deem "Time Fillers" because I am waiting for my really important series to come out (Right now, The Raven Boys and Cursed) in September.

 

So you might like these books more than me. This series could be your important OMG-I-NEED-THE-NEXT-ONE-NOW books. Not all books are for everyone, and this one is not a personal favorite for me. But they are nice Time Fillers and are quickie reads.

 

Do I recomend you to rush to the store to pick them up? Nah. You can be content just to borrow them from a friend like I am or from the library.

Casting News: Finnick

And we have our beloved Finnick. Sam Claflin has been officially cast as our favorite victor ever.

 

And for all those people that are complaining that he would be a horrible Finnick, are you blind? 

Casting News: Raphael

And we have a Raphael. The German newspaper, Bild, confirmed that Elyas M'Barek will be playing the vampire.

Welcome to the team, Elyas!

Raphael will not be in City of Bones. Instead, the role is the Vampire Lieutenant because of not having the space to properly introduce Raphael. Oh well. Guess we'll have to wait and see him in City of Ashes, which fans were told, was being adapted into a script! :D

Random Thought

How to read a Rick Riordan Book

by Calypso "Caly"

All right everyone. It's time to admit the truth. If you are a die hard Rick Riordan fan like moi, then you know that you go through one or two of the same steps I do.

There is a specific way to read a Rick Riordan book. Steps need to be followed in order to get maximum enjoyment from Uncle Rick's books. You can't pick up one of his books without going through any of these steps. It is downright impossible.

So what are they?

STEP ONE:

Prepare yourself for the heartbreak the ending will cause.

Every fan of Rick knows how each and every one of his endings leaves you with a shattered heart that just becomes mere splinters as the long year passes by. If someone is picking up his books for the first time. Wait. Wait until all of them are out and buy them as a bundle. Trust me. You will save your sanity. It's like being a demigod. The more involved/aware you are, the worst it becomes. His endings are not cliffhangers. They are cliffhangers of doom that just make you skip the cliff and go straight for the free fall into the Underworld.

Every time one of his new books come out, I have to mentally prepare myself as I walk into the store to buy it. Some people call me crazy. I don't. If I don't prepare myself, I will become crazy. And nobody wants me crazy. Ask my friends. These endings kill me.

STEP TWO:

Now that you have prepared yourself for the worst ending ever thought of, admire the cover. You know that these covers are just downright amazing. Look at The Lightning Thief and place it next to the cover of The Son of Neptune or whatever the latest one is. Admire how much your beloved Percy has grown.

Hug it to your chest. You know that it is the best purchase you have made since you bought the last one. How can any book compare to it? How can anything compare to it? Who needs food when you have a Rick Riordan book? Am I being too dramatic? Maybe. Why am I writing like this and answering myself? I'm going crazy waiting for The Mark of Athena.

STEP THREE:

You have officially bought the book. You made your mom or dad drive you to whatever store you bought it from so you can start it in the car. But wait! Before you can even dream of flipping to the front page, you have to read the inside jacket or the back of the book. Best know what you are diving into. Even though you have probably read the Amazon description a bajillion times already. It's nice to read it from the actual thing.

STEP FOUR:

Here comes the time to read the funny chapter titles. Each one gives you a hint at what you will find in each chapter. If you are reading a Heroes of Olympus book, there is no chapter titles, but simple names like Percy, Jason, Hazel, ect. Instead, you carefully flip to the glossary in the back to get a good sense on which god/goddess/monster will make an apperance. BE CAREFUL. You do not want to ruin the cliffhanger before you even start the book. That means you won't even want to finish it.

STEP FIVE:

Look for the title of the next book. Just something to do to make your heartbreak begin a little early. Coming Fall 201-Blah? AAWW!!

STEP SIX:

You are now fully prepared to delve into the book. Get ready for heart pounding action, good ol' good vs. evil, quests, the cliffhanger...You can now enjoy the book. The steps are completed. You can read the book in one sitting and then wait the killer year for the next one.

***

There you go. All of the proper steps needed to read a Rick Riordan book. Okay. Not really. Those are just the crazy steps I take to read them. I cannot read any of the books without doing that first. Crazy? Probably.
