Darkfever and Bloodfever (Fever #1 and #2) by Karen Marie Moning

Sorry again! I had a crazy weeked and the week is getting crazier by the second. On top of it all it all it seems I have caught the flu. I'm will tryi to write as many reviews as I can. I have already read a hundred (Literary a hundred!) books this year and I haven't reviewed even a third of them!

I don't usually read books about fae, but I decided to try something new now! I'm terribly sorry (Again!) that I'm posting this review just now! So let's begin!

Darkfever (Fever #1)

So, Mac! She isn't the type of girl I like. I mean, she was all...PINK and BLONDE! I don't have anything against blondes. Some of my favourite characters are blondes. But come on! Pink! I liked how she changed though. I know it wasn't because she wanted to change, it was because she was forced to do so, but still. Short black hair! *thumbs up*

Another thing I liked about Mac is that she doubted things. I have read a thousand books where the heroine/hero is told about the exisitence of something supernatural and he/she is like: OK! And that's not how normal people react. Normal real living people will call you crazy and shut the door in front of you if you try to convince them vampires/fae/werewolfs/demons/whatever are real.
And I liked that Mac wasn't so accepting, but then she went into the other extreme. Over reacting! I get it! You are freaked out of what you just saw, but please stop. You saw at least a thousand fae since you arrived in Dublin just believe already.
Generally Mac was not my fav character.
Moving on! I love the world. Maybe love is a too strong word, but still...I have read many good books about fae. Especialy ones where the fae are the bad guys. The Seelie and the Unseelie court and their powers and artifacts...just brilliant!
Now a bit of my oppininon of the Seelie. Ok, so V'lane. This....fae is strange. Well, he is strange for a human, but I guess he is your average (or not so average) Seelie. I laugh out loud every time I read a conversation between him and Mac, because her first instinct is to take her clothes off. That scene in the museum...Oh God! So funny!
And saving the best (and the most confusing) thing for the last.Barrons! This man/whatever he is confuses me so so soooooooo much. What is he? Obviously not human. And will he ever answer a question straight. Ok, some reviews already spoiled me that he is like a thousand years old and he had a son or something. Which is strange, but I'll just keep reading with the hope to find out soon.
I almost forgot the action parts. I loved the moment when Barrons and Mac got the spear and then killing Fae and being a bit badass. That was good. And the Shadows (I'm not sure that's what they were called.) that was good. I like this book. A lot!

Bloodfever (Fever #2)

I loved this book! It was so much better than the first one. So so much better. I think I said most of the basic things in the review on the first book, so I'm not going to be very detailed here.

Mac. Mac grew into a better character. She is not whiny anymore, she is more badass, she doesn't wear pink (very ofter)! I really liked her development as a character. And how dare that bitch try to kill her by living the window open. Really how dare she? What was her name? Fiona! I hate her. Really even a blindman can see there is nothing between Barrons and Mac (yet), but not Fiona. No! She is so jealous. Just...UGH!

Moving on. So Mac got herself into the worst deal with V'lane. That's the first thing that pops into my head now. Just the worst deal ever. You don't just agree to randevous with sme Seelie without saying when and where. And then that moment when she was absent for a month...yeah, that was a problem. In the middle of a "mision" with Barrons Mac pops out of the place and then she is back a month later with a tan and a nothing, but a pair of hot pink bikini and top. Yeah, that was interesting. And I think V'lane was a bit cruel ther. Bringing Mac's sister into the picture so she can stay in the Fae world longer. yeah that was mean. Of course she won't leave if she has the chance to play volleyball and talk with her dead sister.

A thousand things about this book are in my head now and I have a billion questions. The first one is: What the hell was this ending? Mac just...You can't end a book like this! You have to tell the reader where the Sinsar Dubh is and why is it moving and stuff like that! That's not how you end a book.

The second question is: Who killed the inspector? Was it a Shadow or Barrons or someone else? Who the hell was it? I'm so clueless!

And Barrons isn't helping much! This guy needs to answer a question straight for once. I need to get into this guy's head! I just have to. I don't understand him and his motives and his behaviour. I don't think I have ever met a more confusing character!

And then we have the appearance on the Sidhe-seers in this book. Which was a great plot twist. I never really considered Sidhe-seers. I thought they were just people and they turn out to be some kind of organisation or tribe, I guess. And I don't trust them. I just don't. I don't really trust anyone in those books. Everyone has a reason to be evil or cruel or they want something or they want something AND want to sleep with Mac.

I guess that's it! Nothing else comes to my mind about these books. I'll post a few more review today and in the reast of the week. So I'll see ya then! Bye!

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

First of all, I'm so so sorry for not posting anything for a week. I've been so busy with school and reading that I actually had no time for reviewing. And the week is not over yet. But let me start with the review.

Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair. . . .

Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell.

Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter.

With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Peaches comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.

Tiger Lily

I always loved Peter Pan. The book, I mean, but I never really had a favourite character. Now I know that Tiget Lily is my favourite. Some of you might say: What about Wendy? Nah! Wendy was always the damsel that needed saving. Tiger Lily on the other hand is her exact oposite. She is brave and badass and all kinds of cool. I loved her story. How Tick-tock found her under a flower and brought her to the village. And that thing with the crow feathers in her hair. So good. I hated how they made her marry this awful guy. I don't even remember his name. But his mother was way worse than him. If she didn't like Tiger Lily whu did she insist on her son marrying her? I'm happy she died.

Tik-tok, Philip and some other stuff

I hated how Philip just went to the village and started talking about God and thing like that. Typical English. Trying to make the tribe Christian. He just goes there and...and...I'm just so mad at him! Not that he was  saying anything wrong, but he was behaving like some kind of God or at least that's how I see it. Tik-tok was a unique character. The way he wore dresses and he wasn't afraid that anyone would judge him. He was a great father to Tiger Lily. And then we go back to Philip. UGH! How could he make Tick-tok cut his hair and start wearing pants. That's discrimination! I was so sad when Tik-tok died. I wish Philip had died instead. I think he got what he deserved. I was so happy when this thing with the crows happend. You know when there were crows everywhere and the tribe though it was the gods. Another interesting detail was that the story about the crocodile was explained.

Hook, Smee, Peter Pan

We don't get a lot of Hook in this book, but there were a few things added to his story. There was a reason why he wanted to kill Peter. A strange reason, but still it wasn't just because Peter was there. Smee was maybe one of my most un-favourite character. He liked to kill people. Or he like to mourn the people he killed. At least that's what I got. And Smee was stalking Tiger Lily. Creepy! So, moving on! I know Peter is a main character, but I still left him for the end. He wasn't very different from his original version. Wild and fun and someone you can easyly fall in love with. I mean, who wouldn't. I can totally understand Wendy and Tinker bell and Tiger Lily and all the mermaids. And there was this little change from the original book. You know, the tribes and the lost boys were friend in the original story, but here the tribes thought Peter is some kind of monster which was a great twist to the story.

The Ending

I read a lot of review before I started the book, so I knew the ending would be sad. It wasn't that sad for me. I didn't cry or something. Sad books are a good read now and then. Of course, Peter couldn't stay in Neverland, because that would mean being with Tiger lily and we all now that just couldn't happen. So he went to London and married Wendy. And the lost boys stood up at their wedding. I can imagine Peter walking the streets of London already grown up and thinking about the past. About the pirates and the meramids and Tiger lily and the horses. If I was a painter I could have drawn it, but I'm not a good artist so I can't, but I know they will invent a mind reading machine some day and I'll be able to see it. OK I'm kidding! Back to the book. The letter was just too sad. And I was on the verge of crying. Now about Tiger lily's end. I loved it. It was happy. Well, almost happy. She got to marry and had children and I guess she was happy. She didn't love  Pine Sap the same way she loved Peter, but as Peter said himself: There are diffrent kinds of love. And she stayed fifteen forever. I don't know if that's a burden. Probably! Staying fifteen while your daughter and your husband grow old.

Tinker Bell

I saved Tink for the last. I never expected the story to be from her point of view, but it was very interesting this way. That way I saw more of te story not only Tiger Lily and her adventures. Also that way we don't get to know what the characters think and feel and that makes it even more cool and mysterious. I liked that we get to learn about fairies too.

I guess that's it! Ths book was so magical and beautiful and sad. I want to go to Neverland and hunt and run and just be free and a child again. Well, I'm not a grown up yet, but I'm not a child either.
I'll see ya next time!
