We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (Review #111)

"A beautiful and distinguished family.

A private island.

A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.

A group of four friends - the Liars - whose friendship turns destructive.

A revolution. An accident. A secret,

Lies upon lies.

True love.

The truth."

Review:

This was an unbelievable book; definitely in top five favorites now. This girl has wonderful memories of being on her grandfather's island and the mischievous fun she had with the Liars. Next thing you know she wakes up with Post Traumatic Amnesia and skull splitting migraines. she only remembers summer fifteen in fragments and nothing concrete. And everyone's lying. No one will tell her what happened. It's the best suspense novel I've ever read, and the ending had me in tears. I especially loved the vivid imagery. There's a part in the beginning where she talks about being shot by her dad and how her heart fell out of her chest and rolled into the bed of peonies in the front lawn. I completely thought she was being literal up until her Mom yelled at her to pull herself together. Which brings me to the adults of this book. They're fucking assholes (sorry for the foul mouth). I won;t spoil anything so I'll just leave it at that, but man I wanted to punch every single one of them in the face. Lastly, there's Gat. Gat was a bull in the Sinclair's china shop, And I loved every minute of him. I recommend this to the highest degree.

"Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE"

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose In one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.

Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan (Review #143)

"A girl named Nadya, who hears the whispers of the gods inside her head. A prince surrounded by desperate suitors and deadly assassins. A monster hidden behind pale, tortured eyes - and a smile that cuts like a knife. The paths of these characters becomes entwined during a centuries-long war filled with sinners and saints, magic and mystery, and a star-crossed romance that threatens to tip the scales between dark and light forever." Review: This was one of the best reads I’ve had in a long while. It DEVASTATED ME. BUT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. Nadya and Serefin were both complicated, messy, yet divine characters. Neither were in the right or wrong but both knew the endgame. I loved every second of it. These characters never did what was expected of them and I loved there growth from beginning to end. And MALACHIASZ?????? I shipped it so hard. Every twist and turn had me hoping he and Nadya would set sail. Their dynamic was so intriguing to me. They were enemies of a hig
