The Elite by Kiera Cass (Review #91)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE SELECTION SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. FOR THE REVIEW ON BOOK 1, CHECK OUT THE SELECTION.

"The Selection began with 35 girls. Now, with the group narrowed down to the Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's love is fiercer than ever. The closer America gets to the crown, the more she struggles to figure out where her heart truly lies. Each moment she spends with Maxon is like a fairy tale, filled with breathless, glittering romance. But whenever she sees her first love, Aspen, standing guard, she's swept up in longing for the life they'd planned to share.

America is desperate for more time. But while she's torn between her two futures, the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want - and America's chance to choose is about to slip away."

Review:
I'm at the edge of my seat! This girl has some big cojones. She is gaining the public with her outlandish and revolutionary ideas, and the king is out for her head. Luckily Maxon is there to protect her! pulls ear. She has suffered many trials and tribulations but her will to go on has not wavered. One little thing that keeps bothering me though, is that every time Maxon and America fight, she goes straight back to Aspen. And as soon as Maxon forgives her or apologizes, Aspen is as good as dead. I'm all for team Maxon, but America, stop using the poor boy! I am so excited to see how this ends and I feel as though we've only just delved into the thick of the story!

Girl, Stolen by April Henry (Review #1)

Hi. I'm Samantha and I hope you enjoy my first Book Review and the many more reviews to come. Thank You for stopping by! Synopsis: "Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder is sleeping in the back of the car while her stepmom fills her prescription. Before Cheyenne realizes what's happening, someone is stealing the car - with her inside! Griffin hadn't meant to kidnap Cheyenne; all he planned to do was take the car. But once Griffin's dad finds out that Cheyenne's father is the president of a powerful cooperation, everything changes - now there's a reason to keep her. How will Cheyenne survive this nightmare? She's not only sick - she's BLIND!" Review: This book was a lot better than I expected. It showed both points of view of the two main characters and the villain comes from an unexpected direction. I really loved stepping into the eyes of a blind person. Going through the struggles Cheyenne had to go through and all under extreme circumstance...

The Harpy by Megan Hunter (Review #245)

“Lucy Lives with her husband, Jake and their two boys. Her life is devoted to her children, her days, mapped out by their finally tune routine. Until a man calls one afternoon with a shattering message. His wife has been having an affair with Lucy’s husband. He thought she should know. Lucy is distraught. She decides to stay with Jake, if only for their children sake, but in order to even the score, they agreed that she will hurt him three times. Jake Will not know when the hurt is coming, or what form it will take. And so begins a delicate game of crime and punishment, from which there is no return…” Review: “Deeply unsettling” author Daisy Johnson said of this book, and honestly I think that’s the perfect description. For me though this wasn’t necessarily horror, and fantasy is a stretch at best, but let’s backtrack a bit. This story was about grief. Lucy is grieving and trying to heal from a monumental wound. She by no means is a pillar of a healthy psyche, but even in her worst mom...
