I Heart Hollywood (I Heart #2) by Lindsey Kelk

Christmas is coming so I decided to read some chick-lit so that's what my next two or three review will be about. I read I Heart New York in April and liked it. The second book is even better!

Celebs, sunshine and beautiful boys...enough to lead a girl astray? Angela Clark can't believe her luck! she's an English girl living in New York with a dream job at hip magazine The Look and a sexy boyfriend. Her latest assignment takes her to Hollywood to interview hot actor and fellow Brit James Jacobs.Thrown in at the deep end she heads west with best friend Jenny dreaming of Rodeo Drive and Malibu beach. Soon Angela discovers that celebrity life in Hollywood is not all glamour, gloss and sunshine. Despite his lady-killer reputation, the only person who seems genuine is James. Then a paparazzi snaps them in an uncompromising position and suddenly Angela is thrust into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons! Can she convince all those close to her -- especially her boss and her boyfriend -- not to believe everything they read? And will Hollywood ever win Angela's heart?

Cover

I just love the covers of almost all chick-lit books. They are always some cute drawing with pastel colors. And I especialy like Lindsey Kelk's book covers.

LA vs. New York

I have never been to LA or New York. LA has the sun and the beaches and the shops and New York is...well, New York is New York! There are bussy streets, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Starbucks. I know, I know! There is Starbucks everywhere these days, you say. Well, not it Bulgaria. I don't really drink coffee, bit I still want to go to Starbucks!  But if I were Angela I would never want to go to LA again. Like ever! So I guess both New York and LA win!

Romance

O.K. Let's talk about romance. There wasn't a lot of romance in this book, but those rare scenes were so cute and...hot. My love for Alex only grew more in this sequel. He was kinda "jerk" here though, but I don't mind. Angela has been wrong sometimes. I mean, you can't have a crush on every single hot guy if you say you love your boyfriend. It bothered me a little the time when she kissed James, but we all know that boat sank. I wonder why? Hmm... He's gay. I kind of saw it comeing. And you could really guess by looking at Blake who was the jealous girlfriend/boyfriend. I laughed so hard when Angela found them hanging on top of each other in the toilet.

Joe, Jenny, James and other characters

Probably one of the worst characters in the series after Tyler so far is Joe! I really hated this guy by the end of this book. I would have hated him much more if he had really slept with Angela while she was drunk. I'm happy he lost his job. Angela should have let Jenny kick his ass. And talking about Jenny. I really like her. She is crazy and aparty girl, but in this book she wasn't a very good friend. I didn't like that she was pushing Angela to go for James when she knew that Angela loved Alex. Plus she made Angela drink most of the time and then she tells her not to drink so much. And still I'm sad that she decided to stay in LA. I miss her already. Now I want to talk a bit more about James. He was selfish. I mean, he wanted Angela to leave her job and her friends and go live in LA just becuae he didn't want to tell the world he was gay. And the other character I want to talk about is Angela's mom. I don't know what to think about her. I think maybe becuase she is old that's why the author wants to make her look a bit stupid. Because in this book she was like: It's obvious that you have abandoned me and your father. And then: Is this actor your boyfriend or something?
I can't say I hate her, but I don't exactly love her either.

This was a very nice, light read. I will probably read some more chick-lit before the year is over. Can you believe it's already the end of the year? It passed so fast for me! So tell me what you think about this book. Do you prefer LA or New York? Comment!!
I'll see ya next time!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

This book was recently translated in Bulgarian and one of my friends asked me if it's good. So I read it.

Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Through Hannah and Clay's dual narratives, debut author Jay Asher weaves an intricate and heartrending story of confusion and desperation that will deeply affect teen readers.

This is going to be a short review, not because I didn't like this book, but because I liked it too much. I loved it! It was so sad and so great. I'm going to re-read it someday and I rarely re-read books.

Suicide

I know what it feels like people spreading rumors for you and creating a reputation for you that's not true. No, I never wanted to kill myself. As I have said earlier there are just too many books to read to consider missing any of them. Plus there are so many places to see, people to talk to. That's just high school. Name one person who doesn't have at least one bad memory from high school and college. You can't, right? That's why I think suicide is harsh. How can you want to end your life just because some jerk said something about you? They don't deserve you to die, because of them. And don't you have something good in your life? What about your family, your friends? Your dog? There must be someone who will miss you. But there are those litte things building up. Those little unmemorable, petty thing. And in the end it's too much. Talking about suicide depresses me! Now I want to move on to the book.

Characters

I think it will be good if authors said if their main character is a boy or a girl. Thousands of time when starting a book I have wondered if this character, the one who is talking, is male of female. Like in Maximum ride! I'm reading and the main character is called Max. I think: OK! So the main character is a guy. Then the author mentions long hair. Lot's of guys have long blond hair. And then a nightgown. I was just stared at the book for five minutes, because can you imagine it. A boy with long hair in a nightgown. Soon enough I found out Max was actually a girl. But I got carried away! Again!
So I had a problem figuring out if Clay was a guy or a girl. He was a nice character. Not too popular, not a total nerd. Just a guy! The ones we call normal.
Hannah was an interesting character. I can't really describe her. Every time I tell some of my friends I read a book they always ask how the main hero/heroine looks. I don't pay much attention to the appearance. When I read I always pay attention to the personality and the actions of a character. I think the only heroines I ever paid attention was Clary from the Mortal instruments series.

You know what? I don't have anything else to say about this book! It was amaizing! That's all. I can discuss it in details and I can't tell you the worst of the best moment. It's one of those book I simply love.
I'll see ya next time with another book review!

NaNoWriMo 2013- The End

Hello again!
It's over! How can it be over? I don't want it to be over. I can write more. I stopped at some point, because I was having a hard week, but that doesn't mean I gave up. I even opened my novel today and I made a few corrections. I will finish it!
I'm happy with what I wrote. I don't care that I didn't win. I had fun! Lots of fun! I miss it already. I miss staying up until 5 AM and drinking lots of coke. (I don't drink coffee!)
So did you have fun? How many words did you write? How much coffee did you drink?
Comment down below! And I'll see ya next time!

Origin (Lux #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Here it comes! The review of the week! The one I promised to write like two days ago! I'm sorry it took so long it has been a crazy week at school.

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything.

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on?

And will they even be together.

Cover

Again, I want to protest against the cover. If I didn't know how awesome those books are and if I saw this book in the bookstore I wouldn't have looked at it twice and let's not talk about buying it. But enough on this. Let me tell you just what a fast read this was. It felt like I read it for less than an hour.

The Great Escape

Am I the only one who thinks that Kat and Daemon figured out how to get out of Area 51? I mean, they say that they stayed there 4 months, but it felt like days when you read it. I wish they had stayed there a bit longer and found out more about the Origin. But I'm still happy that they got out of there. And my favourite part...Blake is dead! YAY! I have never been so happy about a character dying. He deserved it.

Kat and Daemon

In this book we have the Kaemon feeling full on. I was just so happy about them. They had a hard time and they still had time to be in love and have sex. LOL And yeah, we are on the run, but let's get married. I'm also very happy about them geting married. I was just laughing so hard just because I was happy. And they used names from Sweet evil. I think I was going to die laughing.

Dee, Luc, Archer and other characters

I'm just glad that Dee is back to her happy, good self and Kat and her are friends again. Plus I think there might be something between her and Archer in the future. I mean, it's obvious! Speaking of Archer, I really wish to find out more about him. He is still a mystery for now. And since Blake, I can't trust anyone. I think, Luc was my favourite character. He can't be trusted and that's clear as day, but still he is hillarious at times. Like this moment in the motel when everyone is talking in the room and he enters the room and says: Hey, guys! I brought doughnuts! Again LOL!
Now Ash and Andrew are dead! Ta da! I want to thank everyone who spoiled this for me. I would have died crying if I hadn't known they would die. I just started to hate Ash and she dies. Same thing with Mattew. I just started liking him and he betrayed them.
Beth and Dawson. And Beth is pregnant! I'm so happy for them! (I think the word happy is the most used word in this review!) It's good to see Dawson doing something else than being grumpy and sad. Like smiling, for example. I read the shors prequel to the series from Dawson and Beth's POV. The DOD has changed both of them a lot.

 The ending

I'm not happy with the placae this book ended. It's not because of the cliffhanger, but becuase it's not what I expected. When I first read the synopsis I thought that Kat and Daemon will choose different sides and this wil happen in the middle of the boo. Instead I get two sentences about choosig a side on the last page and then the book ends. I think I might have some missing pages.

I guess this is it! All of it!
I'll see ya next time with another book review!

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”

So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.

I don't have much to say about this book. I have seen this book on Goodreads thousands of times and I never really thought of reading it. Then last month I decided to pick it up. I started liking zombie books this year and I'm a big fan of Jane Austen so why the hell not! I can't say that the book was changed that much from the original. There werea few fights with zombies and they mentioned them, but that's all. When I looked at this cover I always expected the main characters to be zombies.

Characters

I really liked Elizabeth in this book. I dare say thet she was better than in the original. This Elizabeth was kick-ass zombie slayer.
Darcy was....well, Darcy. Extra annoying in the beginning. Zombies flood the ballroom and he just stands there and watches while Elizabeth and her sisters fight them off. It's one thing not wanting to dance, but this!
And then comes Mr Collins. The pain-in-the-ass-collins. I just hate him so much. He is the most irritating character in the whole universe. I especialy hate that moment when he proposes to Elizabeth and she refuses, but he keeps asking her, thinking she is acting hard to get. Ughhh!
Then- Lady Cathrine. She was the same, but this time she was bragging about her great skills in "the deadly arts". I think she was jealous of Elizabeth! I know it's a stupid thing to say and even to think, but that's my opininon. When Elizabeth killed three of her ninjas blindfolded, Lady Catherine just walked out of the room without saying a thing. I so wanted Elizabeth to kill Lady Cathrine at the dodjo when she visited. I really thought she will do it for a moment, but alas...no such luck.
I won't talk about the end when Darcy and Elizabeth fought together. I was great, but the author should have described it. It wouldn't have been this hard really.

I told ya! I don't have much to say. The book was good, but I still like the original better!
I'll see ya next time with another review!!

Hush Hush (Hush hush #1) by Becca Fitzpatrick

Here it comes! The book that took me two years to read is finally finished.

A SACRED OATH
A FALLEN ANGEL
A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

Covers:

I know I have been talking a lot about book covers in my last few reviews and I might be getting a bit annoying, but still. The book covers of all the books in this series are "simply outstanding". I'm quoting a friend here! I can't believe in took me so long to get this cover. I have been just staring at it for so long and I couldn't figure out what was on it, because I was just looking at the wings and last month I just looked at it and I was like: Oh God! This is a falling angel. I'm serious! All I saw on this cover for a whole year where the wings and I didn't even now they were wings. I though they were feathers that where supposed to form something. I know, I know! I'm pretty stupid.

Romance:

Lots of people have been saying that those books are like Twilight and I have to agree with them. Nora is a better version of Bella and Patch is a hell of a better Edward. I mean, at least we know Patch isn't a 100 year old virgin. (No offence to all the Twilight fans! I like Twilight myself, but come on!) And I liked Nora and Patch's relationship. It wasn't instant love. More of a hate-turns-into-love sort of thing. And then another sort of Twilight-ish thing. He was trying to kill her, but couldn't. And of course the book ending with the kiss again Twilight-ish.

Bad guys, The ending and stuff like that:

Ok, so I really thought it was Elliot. There was something suspicious about Jules, but I though he was simply helping. And I never guessed either of them is actually a fallen angel. And then comes the ending in the school gym. There things get blurry for me. I always get confused with endings like that and have to read every page at least twice to understand what the hell just happend!

That's all I have to say for this book. I know it's not much, but I really wasn't that facinated and it wasn't awful either. I'm rating it 3.5 stars. From what I hear about the second book, Creschendo, is giving me the Beautiful darkness sort of vibe. You know what I mean. And I have a feeling Dabaria is going to return and cause some troubles.
I'll see ya next time with another review!

World After (Penryn and The End of Days #2) by Susan Ee

This is a book that came out a week ago.  If you haven't read it then what have you been doing in the last week? Go read it! NOW!

In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

I read Angelfall in August and I liked it. I mean I liked it much, but the second book....Oh, this book I want to hug. I just love it. I find books about angels hard to write, because I haven't read a good book about angels before this trilogy. I tried reading Fallen by Lauren Kate, but it was so slow! And I'm curently reading Hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and I'm not impressed!

Raffe

I really expected him to appear earlier in the book. And when I say "appear" I mean him and Penryn meeting. I loved the moment they met. How they were just staring at each other and Raffe had this expresion on his face. I was just grinning like a Cheshire cat for the rest of the book. I just love Raffe, but his name is still making me laugh. How could the author make a nickname from Rafael? And for those of you who don't know, Raffe is also the name of a Bulgarian singer. He is around twenty and he is short, a bit of fat and has brown hair. He is a good singer though. But try imagining him as book Raffe. Yeah, I know!

Paige

We had a lot of focus on Paige in this book. What happend to her and what they did to her was just awful. Having those things done to a little girl *Shiver!* And then the Stockholm syndrome! Maybe it's true that Beliel was the nicest person to Paige, I mean, as nice as he can be. Right? He understood her, but that doesn't mean Paige is a monster like he said. I was mad at Penryn at some points of the book, because she won't look Paige in the eyes. Her sister is suffering and she won't even look at her. What kind of sister are you?

Pookybear 

That's one of the best swords in the whole Universe! And the name is great. Don't you dare say it's a stupid name. Everyone is afraid of that name. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. I loved the moment when the sword was helping Penryn to learn how to fight by creating those visions or maybe those were jsut glimses of the past.

Panryn's mother

 And Penryn's mom was as crazy as ever. In a good way. I think my favourite moment was when they said there was this woman running aroud opening the fire exits and Penryn was like: This is probably my mom! And I was very shocked when I found out she had stolen this prototype her husband was working on. He got fired for it and left them. What the hell? Who does such a thing? I guess a crazy person!

Dee/ Dum

I almost missed two of the most hillarious and great characters. I loved them and the fact that they are alway suggesting fights between girls. That always makes me laugh! Dee and Dum weren't a big deal in this book. I mean, they were. They helped Penryn, as always, but they made an apearance like twice so....

This book is just a big ball of awesomeness and kick-ass-ness and a little romance. And it's totally worthed! Go read it! And comment!
See ya next time! Probably tomorrow!
