Review: The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Summary from Goodreads:
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.

So on the first page of the book we are told that Mara Dyer is not her real name, but its a cool day and it adds to the mystery of 'Mara'. So much happens to Mara in the first few pages of the book! We were really thrown straight into the action in this book and after that suspenseful beginning we can get a bit more relaxed with the rest. Until we get a little further on (when I say little I mean little!). There was always something happening to Mara and it kept me reading! Mara is an awesome character! She's witty and awesome! I loved reading her story!

I loved Jamie, he was the first friend that Mara made at her new school and he was there to help her whenever he could! 

Noah, *sigh* How do I describe Noah? He's mysterious, arrogant, a little annoying in all the right ways and wonderfully sarcastic! How can you not love him when he is a closet what you may call romantic (slightly). At the beginning I was slightly wary of him but later on I began to love him!


Michelle Hodkin has a way of writing that makes you want to read on! She described things in detail but not to the point of overkill!

Overall it is an AWESOME book that MUST be read!

Video Time: Taylor Swift-Ours

So I kinda have an obsession with Taylor Swift and I can't stop singing this song! When the video was released I stayed up until the early hours of the morning to watch it! Its such a cute video and Taylor Swift is adorable! Enjoy!

Waiting On Wednesday (1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to share the books that you are highly anticipating! 

This week I am waiting on is Underworld by Meg Cabot! I really loved the first book and I can't wait to see what happens next! 

From Goodreads:                                                         Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back. Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera isn’t dead. Not this time. But she is being held against her will in the dim, twilit world between heaven and hell, where the spirits of the deceased wait before embarking upon their final journey. Her captor, John Hayden, claims it’s for her own safety. Because not all the departed are dear. Some are so unhappy with where they ended up after leaving the Underworld, they’ve come back as Furies, intent on vengeance…on the one who sent them there and on the one whom he loves. But while Pierce might be safe from the Furies in the Underworld, far worse dangers could be lurking for her there…and they might have more to do with its ruler than with his enemies. And unless Pierce is careful, this time there’ll be no escape.

Expected publication: May 8th 2012 by Point

Review: Falling Fast by Sophie McKenzie

When River auditions for a part in an interschool performance of Romeo and Juliet, she finds herself smitten by Flynn, the boy playing Romeo. But Flynn comes from a damaged family—is he even capable of giving River what she wants? The path of true love never did run smooth . . . 

This is real life, not a rehearsal...


I have to say that I'm glad that I didn't get my hopes up about this book. 

River is a bit annoying and I don't like her. She asks too many questions for my liking and she is too obsessed with Flynn as the book carries on. I sometimes wonder if she actually loves fun or if she just wants to think that she is in love? Thats for you to decide if you read this book.

Flynn. Grrrr. Thats sums him up and I don't mean grrr in a good way. I really disliked him and thought he was WAY too agressive and that he had an alterior motive behind his reasons for being with River. He is a complete jerk and gets angry over the smallest things. At points I thought he was going to get violent! I couldn't understand why River wanted to be with him! I began to like him a bit more towards the end of book!

The only character I remotely liked was Emmi but it was a limited likeness. 

Overall it was an okay book but I wouldn't re-read it. I was quite glad that it was a short enough book!

Review: Divergent by Veronica Roth

In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

I really get all the hype about this book now! It is really good! I don't know why I didn't start this book before!

The cover is so eye catching and different from most popular book covers! I can even see Four and Tris! 

Tris is an awesome character but at points she slightly annoyed me but I have to admit  I enjoy being annoyed by main characters! I think that she is very out-going and she is a strong character. I think that she did what she needed to do to be happy even if that meant leaving the people she loved. I understand her reasoning for doing what she did and I admire her for it. Tris has to be one of my favourite characters. She's about 7th in my list which is pretty impressive!

Four. Well I could write and write and write about Four but you would probably get bored of it! He is the kind of character that I love in books! He is the kind of guy that acts 'bad' at the beginning but has a soft side underneath. Mmmmmmmm Four.

I really wondered why the book was called Divergent but it was discovered early on in the book. I kept reading so that I could find out why being Divergent was bad.....The story kept me reading until 4.30 am! I would like to blame thank Veronica Roth for writing a book that kept me reading until the early hours in the morning!

Overall the book was awesome and I'm looking forward to the next one!
