Review Afterlight by Elle Jasper

Savannah's most unconventional tattoo artist, Riley Poe, lives on the edge. Now she's put over the edge when her younger brother is taken by a sinister cult led by vampires. Her only ally is the hot-tempered vampire Eli Dupre, attracted to Riley's beauty and rare blood type. To save her brother from certain un-death, Riley faces dangers she's never dreamed of, ruthless bloodthirsty enemies, and an evil of endless hunger that wants to devour it all...




Ok, here we go. What can I say about a book I was expecting to be amazing?? Well, It wasn't at all. 
Writing about vampires it's nothing but new, so we can say it's a little bit hard to come up with  something unexpected on the paranormal books market. I loved the cover, I'm not gonna make a secret of that, but there're some really annoying aspects about this reading I didn't like it.  

First, Riley Poe is an uncommon character, and yeah that's a really good thing, so I'm gonna let it go cause I guess I'm just fine with her. She had had a really bad background (by the way, I wonder why she doesn't feel guilty about her mother's dead o_0?) but she had succeed on that and had came up with an  ink shop and takes care of  her younger brother. Riley is an strong character like a few ones more. 

When her brother Seth becomes involved in problems, she doesn't even think about putting all she has to  protect and help him even if that means been in touched with vampires. Sooo, here's when we met Eligius Dupre (since he's french and from like two centuries ago I'm not gonna make fun of that ridiculous name XDD) but if you are part of his family or some hot-ink-shop-owner you can call him just Eli :D Yeah, he's a vampire and...he's attracted by Riley and her unique-type-blood. Ohh, I forgot to mention that?? Sorry!? 

Like I said, it's a little bit hard come up with something new about vampires. Some hot-dangerous-but-irresistible-guy isn't enough to capt the reader attention. All of us know vampires sucks blood, only show up at night, and that they live like...forever?? Yeah, Elle Jasper made an original intent trying to add the Gullah magic but I don't think it's enough either. 

Besides, the chapters are soooo long, even to be a book with a pocket edition. The first part is simply boring. So many descriptions and so little action. I think the best of the book it's the sexual tension between Riley and Eli, and even that it's boring because, seriously, how many time have we read about the same? 

I feel disappointed and a don't think I'm gonna run to amazon or bookdepository to buy the next book :P 

Review of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson


Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have to speak the truth. This extraordinary first novel has captured the imaginations of teenagers and adults across the country



My thoughts about this book? Well I loved the story of this girl..she has been through a lot of things, but I have to say that I don't really love the way the author wrote the book..umm I don't know it's kind of confusing. So... when Melinda finally start high school she thinks that she could make new friends I don't know someone that haven't heard about her yet..but unfortunately she was wrong almost everyone  knew about that party at the end of the summer in the one of course nothing good happened, specially to her.
Well to start I don't really like the character of Melinda. Yes, I feel really sorry for her but the way she solve the problems are not the best. I mean why she didn't  tell anyone about what happened to her! It's really frustrating! I swear I was reading the book and I was like "Speak Melindaaa speak for God sake do something!" I know I took it way too serious (lol) but it feels like that! 
Then its Heather..such a hypocrite! ugh! to be honest I kinda like her at first because she was being so good with Melinda but then she change like A LOT  and really fast!..Yes Heather I know that being popular feels good, but you seriously couldn't be more rude like for real!
Rachel: The popular girl that changes her name more than once in a week because she truly believe she has to experience every culture (at least I see it that way) I mean she changes yeah but all depends of the person she is hanging out with in that moment!..Ohh forgot to say..she'll do what ever to go out with Andy Beast 
Andy Beast: Andddd here we go the moment we were all waiting for! Andy Beast the typical popular guy! the one every single girl in the school wants to be with even knowing he's a jerk and has a pretty long bad reputation but hey! that's not a problem because he's cute! T____T 
Anyway besides all I have said I did enjoy the book..lets say it was a good experience :D yeah lets keep it like that! oh by the way if you going to read it I can tell you that you going to enjoy the revenge of Melinda! aha! well with nothing else to say Good night! <3

Sweet Evil is a paranormal romance book....Anna is a teenager but not an ordinary one ,she can feel and see the emotions of people. The thing is that Anna is the daughter of a fallen Angel and a guardian Angel, but Anna feels an inexplicable pull toward danger , she always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within.

Anna has to leave to know more about her destiny and Kaidan goes with her there is when the love story come out and Anna has to be strong to don't lose her love.   I recommend this book is amazing how she explains every single feeling when he touch her or kiss her or even been close to her, and has one hundred percent fantasy and romance.
