[Short Review] The Ever After of Ella & Micha, by: Jessica Sorensen

The Ever After of Ella & Micha 
(The Secret #4)
by: Jessica Sorensen

★★★★★

The day Ella has waited for is just around the corner. It's the day she'll marry Micha, the love of her life, the light that guided her out of the darkness. It looks like it will be the perfect Christmas-until an unexpected package arrives with a harsh reminder of Ella's past. Suddenly Ella doesn't feel as confident about her future. Can she really have a "happily-ever-after" if she's never even seen one?

Micha will stand by Ella no matter what she's going through-though he worries that she might leave him standing at the altar again. When he's offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to tour with his favorite bands for three months, Micha knows he can't leave Ella behind. But can he ask her to uproot her life to join him on the road?

Now Ella and Micha must find a way to balance their fears, their dreams, and their love . . . if they ever want to hear wedding bells.

So, it ends. The story of Ella and Micha. Well, it do not end, but you get what I mean. This story was a beautiful mess and I will truly miss reading more of it. Also, the story of Lila and Ethan, which I loved even more, was going to be my downfall if I didn't read the last story. But I did and all the characters lived happily every after.

In this book, the wedding bells are ringing. Ella say yes to marry and finally they have a date to do it. But something happened and Ella stood up Micha, she totally got her reasons. At the end, the plan the wedding in their favorite place of Star Grove. The perfect day, the perfect people, the perfect place... just the perfect wedding. Ella still have some problems sinking the thought that she will get married, but Micha is always there for her.

I love the story, I really did. You know, who doesn't want to have someone like Micha in our lives. Someone who is always there no matter how you are, what you do and how you think. Because Ella didn't make the job easier for Micha, but still he was there always. That kind of love is memorable, to be forever. Wishing is free!

[Short Review] The Forever of Ella & Micha, by Jessica Sorensen

The Forever of Ella & Micha 
(The Secret #2)
by: Jessica Sorensen

★★★½☆

Ella and Micha have survived tragedy and heartbreak. When they're together, anything seems possible. But now they are thousands of miles apart, and managing their long distance relationship will put their love to the test.

Ella is back at school, trying hard not worry so much about her future. But with her father in and out of rehab, she's having a hard time making it through the days. All she wants is Micha by her side, but she refuses to let her problems get in the way of his dreams.

Micha spends his days touring the country with his band, but deep down he knows something is missing. Being away from Ella is harder than he thought it would be. He wants her closer to him-needs her with him. But he won't ask her to leave college, just to be with him.

The few moments they do spend together are intense and passionate, but it only makes it more difficult when they have to part. They know they want to be together, but is wanting something enough to get them to their forever?

The book was fucking good, don't get me wrong, but there were a bunch of things that I didn't like. Not even a single bit, but the book got single bonus points because of the end and the epilogue. If you read the first book, I do recommend reading this one. Maybe you will enjoy it better than me.

Well, the story of Micha and Ella keeps moving. It does sounds like they are having a happy life together, no matter that they are away from each other. Ella's in school and Micha is hitting the road with Naomi's band. At the end of book one, Ella and her brother make "peace" and her dad went to a rehab. Things are getting heavy when Ella's dad ran away from it and she needs to save the day. Micha has his own problems with her dad and what he wants to do with his life from now own. Now, they both have problems with each other and between the distance, her mental "illness", his daddy issues and his drinking problems... everything explode. For now own, the real question is more complicated to answer. "Can love lasts forever?"

The answer of that question is: yes, forever. That's all I'm saying. Although, I wanted to say so much about why and why not I like this book, but words fail me. It's good, I recommend others, but you can read it and talk to me about it. Give it a try.

Top Ten Popular Authors I've Never Read 

***I'm late I know!***

AUTHORS THAT I WANT TO READ SOMEDAY SOON

#10 - Jane Austen

I have never read a classic of her. I'm so ashamed, because which student of the English Department haven't read a book of her. Maybe me. *sighs*

#09 - Lisa McMann

Maybe you don't know her or maybe you do. But she got so pretty awesome books that are in my TBR list for years and I don't know why I haven't read them. Some of her series are: Visions Trilogy & Wake Trilogy.

#08 - Michael Grant

Now, this is incredicle because I do have a book of him. The first book of his series called Gone, which is the same name of the book. I haven't heard anything bad about the book, but nothing inspire me to read it. But I will, oh, I will.

#07 - Gillian Flynn

She is one of the newest authors I have add in my TBR list. I was searching for books in Amazon and I saw Gone Girl, so when I was going to put it in my wish list... BAM! It appears that she have two more books very dark. Then when I was entering to a class a student was reading Dark Places, I asked if it was good and he say that it was. Totally going to buy those two and maybe the third one too.

#06 - Ransom Riggs

Other author that I have added recently is him. The incredible thing is that I have both of his books and yet, I have NOT read them. What I'm waiting for? No clue.

AUTHOR THAT I'M NOT PLANNING TO READ SOON

#05 - Stephen King

I don't know, but something do not attracks me to read his books. Maybe someday, but maybe not. Time will tell.

AUTHORS THAT I WILL NEVER READ BOOKS OF THEM

#04 - George R.R. Martin

I will never ever read Game of Thrones. NEVER EVER! Maybe I will watched the series, but read his books... never.

#03 - J.R.R. Tolkein

Same as the last author, I will never ever read his books. I really hope so that none of my next professors of the English Department make me read one. Please, I don't want to.

#02 - Sara Shepard

TADA! No difference from both author before her, but this time is slighty different. I wouldn't read a book of her, because I don't want to be like those girls of the time when Twilight came out and everyone wanted to read it. I mean, no one is reading that much the books as seeing the series, but you get me. I will not watch nor read the series.

#01 - J.K. Rowling

The world end for you, right? Very hard to understand, right? Yeah, I will never read a Harry Potter book, neither Casual Vacancy and not The Cuckoo's Calling (it is in my TBR, but it will be eliminated soon). I just don't want to read her books. That's it.

[R] Ignite Me, by: Tahereh Mafi

Ignite Me
(Shatter Me #3)
by: Tahereh Mafi

★★★★★

Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment.

But to take them down, she'll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner.

And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew - about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam - was wrong.

[Short Review] The Secret of Ella and Micha, by: Jessica Sorensen

The Secret of Ella and Micha
(The Secret #1)
by: Jessica Sorensen

★★★★☆

A rule-breaker with a fiery attitude, Ella always wore her heart on her sleeve. Then she left everything behind to go to college, where she transformed into someone who follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. Now it's summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home. But once there, Ella fears that everything she's worked so hard to bury might resurface-especially with Micha living right next door.

Smart, sexy, and confident, Micha can get under Ella's skin like no one else. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. If he tries to tempt the old Ella to return, he will be impossible to resist. But what Ella doesn't realize is that when she left, she took a piece of Micha's heart with her. Now he's determined to win back the girl he lost, no matter what it takes.

I question over and over is: does Jessica Sorensen do another thing than write? I'm not saying this as a bad thing, but jeez, she have a lot of books out there. Now, I read the first book of The Secret series, and guess what? I like it. It was just the perfect first step to this series that can go really well.

When secrets cloud your minds, you will no longer want to watch yourself in a mirror. Basically, that's Ella's life after walking away from everything eight months ago. She left everything she knew and loved. Bailing wasn't good enough, because after those months she needed to go back to the past, where everything started. Micha Scott is those kind of boys that are to die for, and certainly Ella does dies for him, but she doesn't want to admit it. Micha is totally in love with Ella almost from the very start. Now that Ella is back, things can get back to normal, except that she isn't the same girl. The quest of Micha is to get back the old Ella or if not, at least some things about her. Can they move over their own personal ghosts to be happy?

This book is the kind of those that you read the synopsis, see the cover pic, read the title and doesn't attract your attention. I know this via personal experience. Why did I pick up this book? Well, first because it was in my iBooks shelf for quite some time and because I have read some of Sorensen's books and I wanted to give another try. I'm happy that I did read it. The book is fast and slow in some points. It really get on my nerves the situation of Ella, but I understand it. Its a short book and you can read it in one day. If you like sweet things, this is your opportunity to read it.

[Short Review] Obsidian, by: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Obsidian
(Lux #1)
by: Jennifer L. Armentrout

★★★★★

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.

Well, here goes nothing. Again... I'm captured by books of Jennifer L. Armentrout. I remember when I read her series called The Covenant. I couldn't breath well until the last book came out and of how this is going, I will not until this series is finished too. I loved the book, but I hate of how it end and the cover of the book. Like, it couldn't have been more terrible. I love The Covenant covers, so I don't know why the Lux got the worse part.

I don't know how to summarize this book, so keep the synopsis in mind. I like Katy, I really do, but I don't understand half of why she do everything she does. I mean, Daemon can be very infuriating, but you cannot explode that easily. How sexy is that? Plus, is obvious that he has something for Katy, but she is so dumb that doesn't see it. Is she blind or something? Maybe. Apart from that, she did good in how she reacted about the alien thing.

The end, end... like the last page, that's what I didn't like. It was not a cliff, but it didn't gave us love. I want some inside of him, Daemon. I wanted babies, hahaha. Nevermind, I loved the book, the characters, the plot and of course Katy and her blog and reading things. I recommend it.

[R] Lola & the Boy Next Door, by: Stephanie Perkins

Lola & the Boy Next Door
(Anna & the French Kiss #2)
by: Stephanie Perkins

★★★★★

Lola Nolan is a budding costume designer, and for her, the more outrageous, sparkly, and fun the outfit, the better. And everything is pretty perfect in her life (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood. When Cricket, a gifted inventor, steps out from his twin sister's shadow and back into Lola's life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.

[Short Review] Anna & the French Kiss, by: Stephanie Perkins

Anna & the French Kiss
(Anna & the French Kiss #1)
by: Stephanie Perkins

★★★★★

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. She is less than thrilled about boarding school in Paris - until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, he has it all - including a serious girlfriend. Will Anna get her French kiss?

I don't know any french, yet, but google translate says this: "J'ai adoré ce livre!" Which is supposed to say that I loved this book. I really do... a lot. I never imagine that such a sweet story would got me. I must confessed that at the beginning, I didn't like it and I got distracted from reading it. But once I was 50 pages into, I couldn't stop.

Talking about the sweet story. Anna is just a girl who has a writter for dad and he wants her to finish her high school in Paris. Jezz, who would want that? But appearatly, she didn't. The thing she must hate is not that he sent her, is that he never asked if she wanted to. At the end, she went. Life as the newbie sucks and not knowing the language, worse. Until she meet Étienne St. Clair, who everyone calls St. Clair and is the most hot in the whole school. Time passes and they became best friends almost inseparable and feelings beginning to get in the middle, but St. Clair has a girlfriend. What would they do when those feelings begin to hurt? Because, he having a girlfriend hurt Anna.

This book was very thoughtful, it makes you think about who you are and what you want to be in the future. But most of all, how to find home. I don't have too much to say, because my last sentence resume it all.

[R] The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, by: Holly Black

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
by: Holly Black

★★★★½

Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave.

One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.

[Short Review] Rush, by: Maya Banks

Rush
(Breathless #1)
by: Maya Banks

★★★★★

Gabe, Jace, and Ash: three of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the country. They’re accustomed to getting anything they want. Anything at all. For Gabe, it’s making one particular fantasy come true with a woman who was forbidden fruit. Now she’s ripe for the picking...

When Gabe Hamilton saw Mia Crestwell walk into the ballroom for his hotel’s grand opening, he knew he was going to hell for what he had planned. After all, Mia is his best friend’s little sister. Except she’s not so little anymore. And Gabe has waited a long time to act on his desires.

Gabe has starred in Mia’s fantasies more than once, ever since she was a teenager with a huge crush on her brother’s best friend. So what if Gabe’s fourteen years older? Mia knows he’s way out of her league, but her attraction has only grown stronger with time. She’s an adult now, and there’s no reason not to act on her most secret desires.

As Gabe pulls her into his provocative world, she realizes there’s a lot she doesn’t know about him or how exacting his demands can be. Their relationship is intense and obsessive, but as they cross the line from secret sexual odyssey to something deeper, their affair runs the risk of being exposed—and vulnerable to a betrayal far more intimate than either expected.

Well, Maya Banks do it again. She rolled me inside this book for quite some time. I didn't read it that fast because of reasons, but whenever I had time... there I was, inside the book like a fly flying to the flame.

Just like I love it... dominate kinky billionaires that will do everything to have what they want. Gabe Hamilton and company were just how my doctor ask me to have. This book only focus in Gabe and I was not disappointed with the story neither the characters or anything. I loved every second of it. The combination between Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey and Graves Buchanan from Claimed by Him. Why did I compare Gabe with those two? Simple. He have all the kinky things of Christian Grey, including a contract and all. But he have the same problem that Graves had, about their best friend little sister. Obviously, Gabe is unique in some things, but I loved him.

I know that people hated this book or didn't finish it when they were reading, but I love it and other people did too. So take that in consideration. Begin with the book and if you don't like it, its okay, but if you do... continue it and you will love it as much as I did.
