Review I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest

I Am Princess XI Am Princess X by Cherie Priest
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



About :

Best friends, big fans, a mysterious webcomic, and a long-lost girl collide in this riveting novel, perfect for fans of both Cory Doctorow and Sarah Dessen; illustrated throughout with comics.

Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure.

Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her.

Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window.

Princess X?

When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.
Review :

Something Strange and Deadly (Something Strange and Deadly, #1)Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I never thought I would like this book but hey this is my year of reading books I never thought I would like.

And there is two things that bring up my attention ...
ZOMBIES and
description
The 19th Century
description

I finish this book in one sitting and it was awesome and badass (especially for Eleanor) and it's just the first book... Imagine how incredible are going to be the next two.


The story is about a girl who ask a group that defeats zombies (in the book zombies are called the Dead) and spirits to find his brother that was kidnapped by the villain, the necromancer.

Characters: I just found another OTP to follow up and that pair is Eleanor and Daniel. I hate Eleanor's mother but the others characters like Joseph and Jie, I like them very much.
Setting: The 19th century, Philadelphia, US, and where zombies, ghost and magic , exist.
Narrative: Steady and in first person, in the point of view of Eleanor.
Cover: It's a gorgeous cover of the main character, Eleanor.
Story: Zombies, Spirits, The 19th century, a strong main character, magic, I haven't read something like this and it surprise me how good this book is.
Conclusion: This book was lovely, the characters likable (except for like 2 or 3), the story leave me wanting for more.

Well after I finish this lovely review, I'm going to search for the next book, I need to know what is going to happen and the good thing is that all the books have been release so my burden to wait for the other book is not going to be big.

Review The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker

The Witch Hunter (The Witch Hunter, #1)The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book, man , this book ...
description

The story is great if you love fantasy and witches. Besides look at that gorgeous cover.

We have this girl that is wrongly accused of witchcraft and she is rescued from jail by the biggest and powerful wizard of the entire kingdom in exchange that she will break the curse lay upon the wizard.

description

I had my doubts to continue the book because at the middle it got a little bit of tedious but man, I am glad I finish it, the final was awesome and adorable.

*Characters: You will love all of them, except one miserable and little person.
*World: It's a great world and the book have a beautiful map.
*Narrative: Steady and in first person.
*Story: Unique (view spoiler)
*The cover: Read the book and you will understand the meaning of the beautiful symbol.

Give it a chance, it's worth it and it's a fresh unique story.

In the beginning I was like

But then

The story is REALLLY GREAT, the characters well written, the way that is written makes you to read more .

We have a badass queen, beautiful guys, a beautiful map and unique creatures that are intriguing.

Everything is not predictable except for (view spoiler).

I must say I really like the romance and the characters Black Knife and Wilhelmina.
I can't figure out why I haven't read this book before, it's one of the best books I have read this year, it's definitely a must have and everybody should read it.

Review Heist Society by Ally Carter

Heist Society (Heist Society, #1)Heist Society by Ally Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After so many time, I got chance to read this book.

If about a young lady willing to do anything to avoid his father getting in problems that he was accused to do but he didn't do it.

The way that the author, narrates this story is in third person and the pace is steady.

This is the first book I read of Ally Carter, and honestly this is a great book but If I have read it when I was more younger I would enjoy it better.

The characters are nice and fun.

About romance, this book doesn't have romance.

Review Lion Heart (Scarlet #3) by A.C. Gaughen

Lion Heart (Scarlet, #3)Lion Heart by A.C. Gaughen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I must say that this book was different, A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS BOOKS OF THE TRILOGY.

The point that begins with the story is after a few weeks after the ending of the previous book, Lady Thief.

The pace was steady and not to rush except with the ending , it was for me very rush.

The characters:
In this book did not appear my favorite character, because something tragic happen to him in the previous book. But this time we had to spend more time with a minor character of the previous book and a new character.

Pro: We got to explore more of England, not just Nottingham. Scarlet is even more badass than the previous books and is willing to do anything to protect her people and her home.
Cons: I had big hopes for this book and that ending, we didn't spend a lot of time with Robin than I hoped.

My feelings about this book are totally different than the previous book, Lady Thief, and even more with the first book of the trilogy, Scarlet.

Short Review- The Queen of Tearling by Erika Johansen

The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling, #1)The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen


I have really big hopes for this book but sadly it didn't catch my attention. The writing and the pace was so slow that I rather do anything else than reading this book. I must say the synopsis and the cover really interesting but when you read is different than it seems.
