The Reckoning of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin (Review #183)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK 1 OF THE SHAW CONFESSIONS, OR THE MARY DYER TRILOGY, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK  2 OF THE SHAW CONFESSIONS, SEQUEL TRILOGY TO THE MARA DYER TRILOGY. FOR THE REVIEW OF THE SHAW CONFESSIONS BOOK 1, CHECK OUT THE BECOMING OF NOAH SHAW.

FOR THE REVIEWS OF THE MARA DYER TRILOGY, CHECK OUT THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER, THE EVOLUTION OF MARA DYER, AND THE RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER.

"Noah Shaw doesn’t think he needs his father’s inheritance. He does.

Noah believes there’s something off about the suicides in his visions. There is.

Noah is convinced that he still knows the real Mara Dyer. He does not.

Everyone thought the nightmare had ended with Mara Dyer’s memoirs, but it was only the beginning. As old skeletons are laid bare, alliances will be tested, hearts will be broken, and no one will be left unscarred."

Review:
Holy rollercoaster, Batman. Listen, we're five books deep and things still keep getting flipped upside down. Noah and Mara broke up. Noah can't seem to stay sober for very long, and when he is, he's plagued with memories he doesn't want to remember, or memories he doesn't exactly remember making. Along for the ride is his friend Goose, brand new to our little... adventure, if you want to call it that. 

Oh and Mara's ageless grandmother - also named Mara - pops up a few times too. Just when you think you have this story pinned, it changes course and I'm not sure where I stand with that, if I'm being honest. Noah and Goose are traveling all across England in search for answers, only to leave us with an ever enticing cliffhanger. 

All I can say is that when the finale finally comes (whenever that is), I don't think I (or anyone for that matter) will be ready for what is to come...

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.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Review #20)

"Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed. There is. She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong." Review: This is a book you simply have to read. It's probably a part of my top ten favorite books list. Mara is this girl who just lost her friends and boyfriend in a terrible, but also peculiar, accident and now people who tick her off - and who she's attracted to (cough-cough-Noah-cough-cough) - are in her powerful line of fire... It's a tantalizing tale that will have you (for a lack of a better cliche) gripping the edge of your seat!!

Antigoddess by Kendare Blake (Review #141)

"Old Gods never die.. or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health. Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra - an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god. These days, Cassandra doesn't involve herself in the business of gods - in fact, she doesn't even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning. Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with others of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these antigods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caric...
