I Am Still Alive

Stars 5/5

I Am Still Alive by Kate Marshall

What an amazing story of survival and finding your inner & outer strength to do what you think you can never do. I really loved this story! The book follows Jess, a young girl that was recently in an accident where her mother dies and she is still recuperating from her injuries. She goes to live with her father who she has not seen since she was little and finds that he lives so far in the remote woods of Canada that there is no one around for hundreds of miles. Her father warns her that if a plane lands that she is to hide and that she does but witnesses her father murder. The cabin and most supplies are burnt to the ground and Jess has to find a way to survive alone except for her father's dog Bo. I highly recommend this book. 

Beartown

Stars 4/5

Beartown by Fredrik Backman

This book captured the true essence of community through it's ups and downs. The story follows a small town called Beartown, that was founded on Hockey but through time it has suffered hardships of losing jobs and plant shutdowns.

It is said that their family is cursed in love and can never venture from the family's land. Jesse inherits his grandmother's farm but even though he loves the land, can he work the land enough to keep it. The story also follows Scarlett, a young girl that lives across the street from Jesse and used to be his best friend before their freshman year. Scarlett's dad is very abusive and her family lives in fear of him and his controlling ways. This book is about overcoming hardships, death, murder and abuse. But it is also about friendships, love and finding yourself. I highly recommend it.

Unearthed

Stars 5/5

Unearthed by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

This sci-fi adventure was brilliantly done and I just loved it.

The story also follows Jules, a young guy that also came to Gaia but to study the hieroglyphics to learn more about the aliens that lived there and to find out the most needed information to free his father from prison.

Want by Cindy Pon

First I must be honest and say that I didn't think I was going to like this book because I am very picky about sci-fi books but OMG I really loved this story! I can not wait to read the next book.

What a beautiful anthology of short stories based on Asian mythology. I just loved it! Of course, I liked some stories more than others but the collection is all five stars.

My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life

Stars 5/5

My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life by Rachel Cohn

I loved this book! It could of went on forever and I would of kept on reading, it was that good. The story follows Elle, a young girl that was put in foster care due to her mother being put in jail for drugs. Elle never knew her father but is now getting on a plane headed for Tokyo, Japan not only to meet him but to live there. Elle has went from poverty to posh in an instant.

Star-Crossed

Stars 5/5

Star-Crossed by Pintip Dunn

What an awesomely creative story but I have to say this book made me so hungry! The story follows Princess Vela who lives on a planet away from earth that has very little food. The majority of the people take nutritional pills but Vela sacrificed herself to become Aegis which means she can eat an over abundance of food but she lost sixty years off her life. Vela gets caught sneaking food to her friend and gets put into a jail but soon is released on the condition that she must decide who is the fittest among them to die in order to keep her father, the king, alive. Vela agrees but doesn't realize that her best friend's brother, her crush, is going to compete for the fittest. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it.

The Folcroft Ghosts

Stars 5/5

The Folcroft Ghosts by Darcy Coates

I just love Darcy Coates books and this one is just awesome! The story is creepy good! It follows Tara and her brother Kyle as they come to live with their grandparents due to their mother's car accident and in the hospital. Tara finds that her grandparents that she had never met before are a bit odd and their house is secluded and isolating. No cell service and now because of a storm no telephone. Anyone who has ever read a Darcy Coats book knows that it is full of ghosts and so many twists and turns so this book follows true. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it as well as all her other books. I just love them!

No Exit

Stars 5/5

No Exit by Taylor Adams

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

Amazing to say the very least! The story line was so creative and creepy awesome! I just loved it. Not to mention the ending! I read that ending three times because it was "That Good"! The book follows Darby, a college student, that is trying to make her way to the hospital because her Mother is going into surgery for pancreatic cancer. The weather is very cold and snow is making her trip impossible so she pulls over to a rest stop to wait out the storm and for the snow trucks to clear the highway. While there, she goes outside to try to get a signal on her phone and sees a little girl locked in a cage in the back of a van. One of the people inside the rest stop owns that van, but who? I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but OMG this is a "Must Read"! I highly recommend it. In fact, this book made it to my 2019 Favorites List!

Stars 5/5

The Wicked King (The Folk Of The Air #2) by Holly Black

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

OMG the ending OMG! I seriously need the next book! That ending was a shocker to say the very least! Of course, this book made it to my 2019 Favorites List! I am so in love with this story and can't wait for the next book! The story follows Jude and how she has bound the High King Cardan and is ruling through him. When it comes to Jude that someone she trusts is going to betray her, she realizes that it could be anyone. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but OMG this is a "Must Read"! The cliffhanger alone will have you craving the next book! I highly recommend this book as well as the series and I can't wait to read the next book! 

The Winter Of The Witch (Winternight Trilogy #3)

Stars 5/5

The Winter Of The Witch (Winternight Trilogy #3) by Katherine Arden

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

Of course, this book would be on my 2019 Favorites List as all the other books in this trilogy were but I am really sad to see this series end. I really loved this book and the ending has had me swooning for days now. The story continues to follow Vasilisa and her adventures in this world. A world of magic, strength, courage and curses. Vasilisa must fight for the protection of her family while it seems the whole world is against her. Overcoming odds, befriending enemies, finding herself while called a witch to stand for what she believes in. This book has it all. My emotions were on a roller coaster and I just loved it. I highly recommend this book as well as the series. The Winter King will always be my favorite book boyfriend ever!

Slayer

Stars 4/5

Slayer by Kiersten White

I first need to say, why Leo? I really enjoyed this story and was surprised because I really never cared very much for Buffy. The book follows Nina, a young girl studying to be a medic, while her twin sister Artemis wants to be a watcher. Nina always believed that she was the weaker sister and that her mother loved Artemis more. So she is plagued with that until one day she discovers that she has more power than she ever dreamed. Leo, a young watcher and Nina's crush, comes back to the castle to train Nina and that is when everything starts to happen. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I do recommend it even to those who really didn't fangirl Buffy.

The Dreamers

Stars 5/5

The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker

This was an amazing book! I love stories that are about viral attacks and human survival. That is exactly what this story is about. It all begins in a small university town. One girl stumbles to bed and can not wake. The virus is airborne so it soon reaches out throughout the town and even further. Quarantines are in effect but some escape. The town tries hard to contain the virus but has a hard time dealing with the ever growing patients. The book narrates varying characters and the situations they are in. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it.

The Darkest Star (Origin #1)

Stars 5/5

The Darkest Star (Origin #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

I knew I would love this book and I did! This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List and I can not wait to find out what happens next. The story follows Evie, a high school girl that goes to a club that she is not old enough to go to but meets a guy, Luc that she believes is a undocumented Luxen. Luxens are aliens that have lived on this planet fine until one day a mass amount of them landed and wanted to overtake the planet for their own. Evie admits to herself that she likes Luc and after that her world turns upside down. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I will say that there is so much more to this book than just a crush. It is a "Must Read"! I highly recommend it and can't wait for the next book!

The Girl With No Name

Stars 4/5

The Girl With No Name by Lisa Regan

Honestly, I feel so sorry for Detective Jose. Her luck in men is really bad. This is the second book in the series and it is a really good read. In this book, Jose is on the case to find out who took Misty's baby and why is there a girl inside her fiance Luke's house? This case has lots of twists and turns. You never know the who done it until the very end. I highly recommend this book and the series.

Saving Francesca

Stars 4/5

Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

This is a coming of age story and follows Francesca, a young girl that is going to a new coed school but is mostly still boys as she is dealing with issues at home, her mother going through a bout of depression and Francesca has no clue why. Francesca has new friends and even a love interest but he unfortunately has a girlfriend. Her mother can't seem to even get out of bed and this causing conflict with her and her dad. Francesca is weighted down with all of this and is trying to cope. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I do recommend it. It definitely shows how depression affects everyone. 

The Last Thing I Remember

Stars 5/5

The Last Thing I Remember by Deborah Bee

WOW! I just loved this book and the story line is amazing! I hope to see more from this author in the future! This book is told in 2 POV's, Sarah who is in a coma and can hear everything and is piecing together her life and Kelly who is a young girl that lived next door to Sarah and is her best friend. In the beginning, Sarah can not remember anything about who she is, not even her name but soon she starts to remember things. According to police, Sarah and her husband was attacked. I am not going into the story more as to not spoil it but OMG this is a must read. I highly recommend it.

Robinson Crusoe

Stars 5/5

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

Of course, this is not the first time I have read Robinson Crusoe but since it had been awhile I wanted to revist this world. Reviewing a book that has been written so very long ago is, of course, a feat to say the least but I think you take different things from books when read as a young person than when you read them as you grow older. On the outside, this book looks like a man from England that got his just deserts for capturing natives and enslaving them but if you read on through out the book he becomes friends with a native, Friday, and develops a love for him. So you could say that he had learned a most valuable lesson in life. We will never know how he was after the island other than he helped out many with money but I like to think that he found peace and love for others that he once discriminated against. I highly recommend the book.

The Kiss Quotient

Stars 5/5

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

First off I have to say, WoW lots of sex in this book. Honestly, I rarely read books with sex scenes but I really wanted to read this one because it dealt with Stella, a woman with Asperger Syndrome. I, myself, do not have the disease but I can relate to some of the ways she felt and even her mindset. The story follows Stella, who thinks she is bad at sex and relationships, so she hires a male escort, Michael, to help her learn how. That is all I am going to say because I believe if I say more that I could ruin the whole plot. I will say that I loved the characters and that this book opens your heart to lots of emotions. I highly recommend it.

I'll Be There

Stars 5/5

I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

WoW! I just loved this book! In fact, I am adding this one to my 2019 Favorites List. It is just that good. I have to say that in the beginning, I was very skeptical about reading this book due to the religious aspects in the start. I try to stay away from books regarding those type of issues but I held on past that and really loved the story. The book follows Emily, a young girl that attends her father's church and is kinda roped into singing a solo which she knows is going to be horrible but while singing she sets her eyes on Sam, a young boy she has never seen before. Sam, a young guy that travels around with his abusive criminal father and little brother Riddle, has never knew what it was to be a family except his devoted love for his brother. Emily and Sam meet in secret because Sam knows that if his father finds out, they will leave town fast. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but it is a book of friendship, love, hardships, survival and is full of heart felt emotions. I highly recommend it to everyone.

It Takes One

Stars 5/5

It Takes One by Kate Kessler

What an amazing "Who Done It" story! I really enjoyed this book and hope to continue on with the series asap. The story follows Audrey, a criminal psychologist that deals with children who murder and is featured on a tv show that deals with this issue. Audrey is returning home for her mother's birthday and returning to a town that she ran from after serving time in a juvenile correction center for a murder she and her fried Maggie committed long ago. Audrey and Maggie were sentenced after killing Maggie's father who raped Maggie and going home is not going to be a simple task. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I have to say that this book holds back all the secrets til the very end. I highly recommend it.

Two Can Keep A Secret

Stars 5/5

Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus

What a twisty story line. I just loved it. The story follows twins, Ellery and Ezra, that are forced to move in with a grandmother that they didn't even know because their mother was in rehab. Ellery has heard stories about her mother's twin sister dying a mysterious death and her love of true crime was hard to contain when as they reached the town a dead body was lying in the road. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I will say that Echo Ridge is not a safe place to be if you are homecoming queen. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a twist you can not see until the very end.

The Drowned Girls

Stars 5/5

The Drowned Girls by Loreth Anne White

WoW! This book was crammed full of story lines and I just loved it. Lots of things going on at once. The book follows Angie, a SVU investigator and daughter of a Mother just committed to the insane asylum, so many things things are going on in her life including some surprises. Angie has been investigating a case for over three years of a serial rapist that now she believes has graduated to murder. Angie is working with her new partner that she does not know if she can trust and a new homicide detective has caught her eye. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I must say that this story is entrancing and I highly recommend it. I do plan on continuing on with the series asap.

The Girls

Stars 5/5

The Girls by Emma Cline

WOW! I really enjoyed this book. A very creative fictional re-telling of the Manson Family (at least that is how I saw it). The story follows Evie, both as a young girl (her past) and as an adult (her present) and how she came to spend time with this cult like family and how she is dealing with what happened as an adult. Young Evie had a falling out with her best friend and found herself spending time alone. That is when she met Suzanne, an older girl that was free spirited, and that attracted Evie so much that she wanted to just be around her all the time. Evie was drawn to her life on the ranch with all the cult family including the leader. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it to everyone who loves a twisted re-telling of Helter Skelter.

Vanishing Girls (Detective Josie Quinn Bk #1)

Stars 5/5

Vanishing Girls (Detective Josie Quinn Bk #1) by Lisa Regan

Oh how I really loved this book. Great story line and so unique. The book follows Detective Josie Quinn and how she is dealing with girls vanishing from her town and then reappearing in a catatonic state as well as her personal life, divorce, new boy friend, new house and being put on paid leave due to an assault case against her. Josie doesn't let anything keep her down as she starts an investigation on her own only to find out more than she can even believe. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it. I will be continuing on with this series asap.

Kissing Tolstoy

Stars 5/5

Kissing Tolstoy by Penny Reid

What a charming book. I really enjoyed this one. It definitely kept me smiling. The book follows a college girl who gets set up on a blind date only to find out that the guy she emailed is the wrong guy and if that is not bad enough, the guy she did meet was  her Russian Lit professor. Of course, there is a romance but what I enjoyed most about this book was the Tolstoy conversations and debates they got entangled with throughout the book. I highly recommend it to all especially if you love Tolstoy.

The Field Guide To The North American Teenager

Stars 5/5

The Field Guide To The North American Teenager by Ben Philippe

I went into this book not knowing anything about what it was about and I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. The story follows Norris, a young black French Canadian, who left Canada with his Mom to live in Austin, Texas. Of course, Norris was not fond of leaving his school and friends but makes a deal with his Mom to give it a try. Between the heat of Texas and Norris' sarcastic undertones, he has problems at first but soon finds friends and even starts to enjoy his new town. Until "IT" happens. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it. You must read the book to find out what the "IT" is. I highly recommend it.

In An Absent Dream (Wayward Children #4)

Stars 5/5

In An Absent Dream (Wayward Children #4) by Seanan McGuire

(note... This book made it to my 2019 Favorites List)

I know I say this about every book in the series but I have to say this one was so very Awesome. This book is the fourth book in the Wayward Children series and it was definitely worth the wait. The story follows Katherine, a young girl, who finds her magical door in a tree coming home from school. The door leads to the Goblin Market, a place of specific rules that must be followed at all times and trades that were fair. I don't want to go more into the story as to not spoil it but I have to say the ending was definitely not what I expected. I highly recommend the book as well as the series.

Fight or Flight

Stars 5/5

Fight or Flight by Samantha Young

What an awesomely fun book to read. The story follows Ava, an interior designer, that was heading home from the funeral of her ex best friend when she meets the handsome yet rude Caleb, a Scottish man that is hard to figure out. Finally after getting home to Boston, Ava finds Caleb around every corner almost like fate is pushing them together but Ava can't stand him. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I must say that there is some extra sexy sex scenes in this one. I highly recommend it.

Hunted

Stars 5/5

Hunted by Darcy Coates

Oh WOW! What an amazing book! I just loved it. So thrilling and creepy. I read through the book in one sitting never leaving it. I just couldn't. So unique and creative. I can't express how much I enjoyed it. The story starts out by a young girl named Eileen that goes missing while hiking on vacation in the Ashlough Forest. The police never took it serious at first until her camera was found and with the family's persistence. Eileen's brother Chris decides to go into the forest with his three friends to find her and that is all I am going to say about the book other than it is OMG creepy. Not sure if I ever want to take hikes again. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a spooky, creepy thriller.   

Wonder Women

Stars 5/5

Wonder Women by Sam Maggs

Illustrated by Sophia Foster-Dimino

I really enjoyed reading this book about 25 awesome women throughout history. The book briefly goes into the lives of these women with their inventions, innovations and discoveries. I honestly hope there will be another book to recognize more amazing women. We definitely need more books like this one. I highly recommend it.

Stealing Snow

Stars 5/5

Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige

Oh how I loved this book! I can not wait for the second book coming out in 2020. I hope I live that long LOL! This is a Snow White fairy tale re-telling with a lot more. The story follows Snow, a young girl committed to an insane asylum after walking into in a mirror and causing scars all over her body. In the asylum, she meets Bale, a young guy that soon becomes Snow's crush. One day, Bale hurts Snow and they are separated. That is when Snow wakes up to find a new orderly in her room that tells her of another world. I do not want to go into this story more as to not spoil it. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves an amazing fantasy world.
