Kate,
I'm here…
sort of.

I shouldn't be writing.
Don't tell.
They'll hurt you.

Now Kate has no choice but to prove once and for all that Grace’s death was more than just a tragic accident. But secrets haunt the halls of her elite private school. Secrets people will do anything to protect. Even if it means getting rid of the girl trying to solve a murder...

Review

Nothing's wrong when your best friend sends you an email, but what if she's dead? yep, it turns into a totally different story. That's what happens to Kate Lowry whose bestfriend, Grace, died a year ago. Everything now is a whole muddled situation. Kate has no choice but to prove that Grace's death was more than just a tragic accident. She teams up with Liam, a dangerously hot boy and Seth, her lovestruck geeky neighbor. But as if all of that is not enough, their elite private school also holds secrets, secrets so big some people will do anything to protect them, even if it means getting rid of anyone trying to solve the murder. 

I remember that this is the first book I grab which was sent from Liz of Consumed by Books when I won in her giveaway. You see, I really love those contemporary books that deals with mysteries and where they would investigate something (SHERLOCK!) and from that it just pulls me in. But somehow I don't think I've found what I'm looking for in this book, well there's the saying 'don't expect too much' which I clearly forgot *smack myself*. Despite of these things, I liked Kate Lowry's character a lot, and I liked that there's another somewhat kick-ass character out there. I know that there are times she just wants to free herself from all the problems but she's also stubborn which drives her to continue her escapade. Then there are two boy who are obviously opposites of each other. Seth is the kind of guy you'll want to have as a crime-in partner before the 'crime' while Liam, well he's the guy you'd want as a crime-in partner while actually doing the 'crime', which you see is crystal clear different. Seth is smart in a nerdy way and then there's Liam who is also smart, but in a hot way (if there's one *wink*). But both of them cares for Kate which I think adds up on the things that brings me to finish this book. 

Though I cannot say much about Kate and Liam's romance because it's just building up, I must say that the Roecker sisters did a good job on that one. They've put up a foundation on Kate and Liam's relationship which in other books lack in. Those spur-of-the-moment romance/love? Pleaase... we are so over that. That's why I think reading the second book would be more fun. I admit that even if I'm pretty lost with the first few chapters in the book, the characters and their easy-to-follow persona is what made me like this book. So yeah looking for an easy read, filled with mystery and badassery? Then Liar Society must be on your to-be-read list.

Blurb: FEAR THE HEAT...

When eighteen year old Ari Johnson is transported from her bedroom into the chilling realm of Mount Qaf - home to the terrifying and mercurial Jinn - she learns a truth that rocks her very world. Suddenly her anxiety over college and her broken friendship with Charlie seem like small change compared to the war she now finds herself stuck in the middle of. Her unease isn’t lessened any by the hot guardian, Jai, who won’t stop following her around everywhere - a Jinn whose loyalty Ari hates to question but must. She has no idea who she can trust.

When the truth burns through her life in its determination to turn it to ashes, Ari will have to battle with ancient deadly creatures, epic family drama and heart-wrenching romantic entanglements.
Review
Samantha Young is officially an addition to my short list of authors who never disappoint. I was first introduced to the brilliance of this woman when I read On Dublin Street, which became one of my favorite contemporary-romance books. Then I found out I have Slumber on kindle when I got it for free on Amazon early last year (never pass up an opportunity for free books people!) and freaking loved it. Smoking Fire does not veer away from my feelings for the former books. 

The book starts off with Ari Johnson whose life is a picture of normal on the outside. In reality, Ari’s life revolves around complications, with her hazy plans for the future, a father who is practically never around and Charlie – the best friend who blames himself for his brother’s death and fell in with the wrong crowd. Life as she knows it becomes more complicated when she’s thrust – both literally and figuratively – into the world of Jinn. Ari learns about the seven kings of Jinn and meets Jai, the guardian appointed by The Red King to protect her. Soon not only did Ari find out that she’s a Jinn but more importantly discover that she’s a significant one. 

This book has everything I want in a paranormal story: action, adventure, an independent heroine and sweet romance. Samantha created a new twist in YA Paranormal by throwing in the Jinn mythology which is very rare – if not unheard of – in YA. The writing is exceptional and utterly engaging that it brought me back from my reading slump. I was so absorbed by the story that I devoured it in a short time. It also helps that Ari, the heroine, is relatable and has a likable personality. The way she took in the news of her true identity was genuine. She’s very loyal and witty too, which I liked the most about her. Jai is protective and overall awesome while Charlie is a broken and extremely flawed but passionate best friend.

I have a love/hate relationship with love triangles. There are some books where I can tolerate them because the authors could pull it off while there are some that manage to annoy the heck out of me. Smokeless Fire has a hint of love triangle and I loved it. Besides, I’m a solid Team Jai girl!

This book isn’t perfect but I definitely loved it regardless. I strongly recommend this to everyone in search for a unique and intriguing read.

Review: Red Glove (Curse Workers #2) by Holly Black



Hardback: 325 pages
Release date: April 5th, 2011
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Goodreads Rating: 4.12
Goodreads Summary: Curses and cons. Magic and the mob.
In Cassel Sharpe's world, they go together. Cassel always thought he was an ordinary guy, until he realized his memories were being manipulated by his brothers. Now he knows the truth — he’s the most powerful curse worker around. A touch of his hand can transform anything — or anyone — into something else.


That was how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Cassel was tricked into thinking he killed her, when actually he tried to save her. Now that she’s human again, he should be overjoyed. Trouble is, Lila’s been cursed to love him, a little gift from his emotion-worker mom. And if Lila’s love is as phony as Cassel’s made-up memories, then he can’t believe anything she says or does.


When Cassel’s oldest brother is murdered, the Feds recruit Cassel to help make sense of the only clue — crime-scene images of a woman in red gloves. But the mob is after Cassel too — they know how valuable he could be to them. Cassel is going to have to stay one step ahead of both sides just to survive. But where can he turn when he can’t trust anyone — least of all, himself?


Love is a curse and the con is the only answer in a game too dangerous to lose.

A touch of his hand can transform anything—or anyone—into something else, that’s how Lila, the girl he loved, became a white cat. Now that Cassel knows that he’s been tricked and manipulated by his brothers and that he’s the most powerful and rarest curse worker around. It’s not as simple as it seems with his brother being murdered the Feds recruit him to find the girl with the red glove –but the mob is after Cassel too. When his touch could be a plus or drawback and no one can be trusted, it’s his way now to decide on his own.

Curse Workers series never stops to amaze me. The second book, Red Glove, was also a fantastic book that is worth every bit of my time. There are still the twists and turns that could make you bend and guess and guess ‘til the end of the story. But for the most part I’ll say this one had me in sympathy pains and broke my heart in the end. Being the rarest curse worker and the most powerful is a hard job for Cassel. I admire how he manages to used his power to unravel the mystery that lies beneath his brother, Philip, death. The tag team of Sam, Daneca and Cassel that has been made throughout the latter part of White Cat was not just shown as a way for Cassel to have for his con act but also had them as a friend for real. The love story of Cassel and Lila was also more visible in this book; it has been more complicated with Lila’s feelings being worked by Cassel’s mother. 

With the Feds and mob being on Cassel’s side, it brought not only an action-packed story but a more guessing one. Another different darkly compelling fantasy that deserves praise! Guess I have to read the third book immediately J

Review: Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

Catching Jordan



Catching Jordan

Paperback: 281
Release date: December 1st, 2011
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Goodreads Rating: 3.98
Goodreads Summary: What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though-she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys, and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But now there's a new guy in town who threatens her starting position... suddenly she's hoping he'll see her as more than just a teammate.





First and foremost I like the cover of this book, with its vibrant and exquisite image of two persons walking hand in hand. To be honest some of the reasons why I read a book is when it captivated  my eyes but it doesn't mean that I rely too much on them. 


Catching Jordan isn't the typical Young Adult contemporary, it isn't the ordinary Boy-meets-Girl situation but instead it holds its own kind of romance with enough conflict and in my opinion I was pretty impressed on the romance part although it is quite obvious that Henry has hidden feelings for Jordan. I rarely read a book where best friends of the lead character gets an "Ever After" with them because most of the time they were just confidants or become rivals and there will always be some new boy/girl that'll be introduced whom the lead character is going to end up with so this book is new for me.
Plus Football fans would like to read this book because the story does not only revolves around love and conflicts but also on one of the famous sports, Football, which is Jordan's passion and her life. It added spice and uniqueness that makes it ain't lacklustre. 


Catching Jordan is a story of friendship, dreams, being strong despite the reasons that life gives you for you to let go and most of all...falling in love when you least expected it. I enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait for its movie. Great Book!

Review: The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder


Kindle Edition: 360 pages 
Release date: December 8th, 2011
Publisher: Razorbill
Goodreads Rating: 4.05 
Goodreads Summary: Dry, sarcastic, sixteen-year-old Cam Cooper has spent the last seven years in and out hospitals. The last thing she wants to do in the short life she has left is move 1,500 miles away to Promise, Maine - a place known for the miraculous events that occur there. But it's undeniable that strange things happen in Promise: everlasting sunsets; purple dandelions; flamingoes in the frigid Atlantic; an elusive boy named Asher; and finally, a mysterious envelope containing a list of things for Cam to do before she dies. As Cam checks each item off the list, she finally learns to believe - in love, in herself, and even in miracles. 
 A debut novel from an immensely talented new writer, The Probability of Miracles crackles with wit, romance and humor and will leave readers laughing and crying with each turn of the page.

Since finding out about the release of this book, I immediately knew I had to get my hands on it. After many months of waiting I finally had the chance to do so. Even with the excitement, it took me awhile to start reading it because the subject of cancer is quite sensitive to my family—having an uncle died of it and an aunt as a survivor, while my mom has been fighting Lupus for over a decade now. I’m glad I picked it up when I deemed myself ready because after putting it down, I was emotionally spent.

At first hundred pages, I could connect neither to the story nor the main character. It’s the biggest problem when you dislike being in the skin of a negative and blatantly sarcastic heroine like Cam. Against my initial criticism, I continued to immerse in her story. I know exactly nothing about a mind of a teenage cancer patient which helps me understand and open my mind. The good thing about her personality though, was her honesty and her love for animals. I was happy to see the transformation Promise, Maine has brought her. What makes it real is the time it took for her to see and realize the wonders of life. It didn’t happen with a snap of fingers and rather developed in a believable pace. She started to believe in things— things she has never believed in before like miracles and true love.

More than half of the book fell flat to me I almost put it down. I’m glad I didn’t because the remaining pages eclipsed the tediousness of the first half. I was indulged with a more alive and even romantic atmosphere. The plot doesn’t have complications and I didn’t have to guess to know what will happen in the end. Does it lessen the emotional impact to me? Definitely not. It wraps up with the kind of bittersweet ending that left me wanting for more, while at the same time resolving that it is the perfect one for this book.

The Probability of Miracles is a beautiful story of love, family, friendship and believing in unexpected, wonderful things that may happen in our lives. I recommend it to everyone especially to all the teens out there. This is the debut novel of Wendy Wunder and I can say I’m definitely on the lookout for another book of hers after this one.

Tiger’s Curse was the first book I’ve read for 2012 that has this magical and powerful sense that caught my read-it taste!


The course of love of Dhiren and Kelly was perfectly built. You could see that Colleen did not make their love like in a spur-of-the-moment. They started to know each other though in a different way, but manage to discover the feelings they soon feel with each other. Dhiren is intelligent, graceful for a guy and (of course) a handsome prince, he may not be that different with other guy you could read in other books but there’s something to him that will certainly caught every attention of readers. I love all the characters in this story, Kelly and Khisan, the brother of Dhiren who’s also cursed. Though there wasn’t much of Khisan in the story the persona that Colleen gave to him was enough to adore him.



One of the things I love other than the characters in this story is the settings. The spot where the whole story mostly encircles was beautiful and astonishing. I definitely see my self sightseeing with Dhiren and Kelly in India while reading this book. Colleen Houck made her description of the places in India comprehensive yet not in a tedious way; it’s like your having a mini tour around India. I love Colleen for working pungent, that in every stroke of pen she does leaves a magical effect that’ll touch every readers and emotionally engrossing parts that always kept me on the edge of my seat.



I enjoyed every bit of moment I have with this book and as much as I want to start the second book I heard that the other books in the series has not yet been published so I think I have to wait for this series to complete first and I’ll start my Tiger’s Curse expedition again!

Review: The Sweetest Thing by Christina Mandelski


Hardcover: 352 pages
Release date: May 10th, 2011
Publisher: Egmont USA
Goodreads Rating: 3.53
Goodreads Summary: In the world of Sheridan Wells, life is perfect when she’s decorating a cake. Unfortunately, everything else is a complete mess: her mom ran off years ago, her dad is more interested in his restaurant, and the idea of a boyfriend is laughable. But Sheridan is convinced finding her mom will solve all her problems—only her dad’s about to get a cooking show in New York, which means her dream of a perfect family will be dashed. Using just the right amount of romance, family drama, and cute boys, The Sweetest Thing will entice fans with its perfect mixture of girl-friendly ingredients.

Cakes. That’s what Sheridan’s life is all about. Most teenagers would be in a party after a school day but making cakes is what she does. Finding her mother was one of the things Sheridan does other than cakes. Losing your mother and waiting for her was a frustrating thing for Sheridan but knowing that your father will have his own TV series and that they has to leave the hometown was a different story.  

Sheridan tries to find her mother who leaves them with some vague reasons she couldn’t figure out. With the help of her friend Jack she does not only found her mother but also the real truth behind her sudden disappearance and as well as her true self. The whole story sticks to the journey of Sheridan finding her mother. Her love story with her friend Jack was made wholly though it not started in a good one, with all the blocks they have to pass. It was a cute romance for me. Her relationship with her father was also a huge part in the story. There are some parts of the book I felt droning and just run through it but still I get to finish it. Readers will have to give this book a try for the lessons we could be taught---facing your fears, finding your true self and letting go.

Review: Angelfall by Susan Ee


Kindle Edition: 255 pages
Release date: May 21st, 2011
Publisher: Feral Dream
Goodreads Rating: 4.39
Goodreads Summary: It’s been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back. Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel. Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl. Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels’ stronghold in San Francisco where she’ll risk everything to rescue her sister and he’ll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

I’ve been on a roll with self-published books lately due to their sheer awesomeness. Indie authors just proved that their works can be better than some of those published by major publishers. So after reading Shelley Crane’s masterpiece of a series called Significance, I had to search for others I knew the majority of YA readers and I have been missing out on. Apparently, my search has led me to Angelfall and boy was I glad that it did! 

In other words, my mind was blown away by this book. There are A LOT of bad and overrated angel books out there while there are some good ones (Unearthly,Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Angel), but honestly none of them has truly stuck with me. Angelfall easily tops my list for the best angel book I’ve ever read. 

Six weeks after the angels descended and wiped out the world, seventeen year-old Penryn is determined to take her little sister and mother to safety. The three of them takes the risk of facing the world beyond the confines of their old home one night, despite the danger of getting caught by street gangs or worse, the angels who brought upon the apocalypse. When Penryn witnesses the angels cutting off the wings of one of their own kind, she steps up and saves the wounded angel. She loses her little sister in the process when the others strike back by taking off with her. Now Penryn will do anything to save her helpless sister, even if that means sticking with the angel she saved, Raffe, to help her take her sister back. 

I was amazed how Susan Ee created a world where angels are the enemies as they have evidently succeeded to take over the world. Because dystopia has been a huge trend since The Hunger games, numerous authors have created their own dystopian world as well and I’m vastly grateful for that. Being a post-apocalyptic buff that I am, I’m more appreciative when an author thinks out of the box and provides readers with a distinctive atmosphere while preserving the dystopian theme in the story. That is precisely what Susan Ee did. 

The atmosphere was creepy and there were some gory scenes that I didn’t mind one bit. She wrote her characters in a way that I can almost feel like I’m inside their skin. Which leads me to my most favorite thing or rather person in the story—Penryn. I seriously love everything about her! Starting from the name… well I like my main characters’ name unique because that’s what makes me remember them, besides Penryn sounds cool which suits her. Penryn has learned how to cope and survive for the three of them in six weeks since the angels arrived. She’s smart and practical and willing to do whatever it takes to save the people she loves, even if her own life’s at stake. 

Raffe is a breath of fresh air from the other heroes I know. I love that he’s not so protective and he’s definitely not someone who acts like he’s hundreds of years old. He’s sarcastic and has an enigmatic personality. And weirdly, he’s agnostic. I especially enjoyed his banter with Penryn and the slow-building relationship they share.

The last few pages literally left me breathless. All I wanted to do was give Penryn and her family and the humans more strength and hope. Raffe also deserves a hug and reassurance. His kind is the reason why Earth is in chaos, but he’s the exception. 

Angelfall is the kind of book that I only spent a few dollars in but would willingly spend more for a copy. And saying I’m looking forward to reading the next book is cliché and a huge understatement. Oh and I will read anything by Susan Ee after this one.

Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater


Hardcover: 409 pages
Release date: October 11th, 2011
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Goodreads Rating: 4.13
Goodreads Summary: It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.

Maggie Stiefvater was one of the first authors who introduced me to YA in early 2010. I enjoyed Shiver and I knew from then that I’d devour the rest of the series as well as everything else written by Maggie. 

The Scorpio Races was a great read and as expected, I did indulge myself on beautifully crafted images and words. What I didn’t see coming is the realization after finishing this. In my opinion, it’s the best Maggie Stiefvater book so far. 

There’s no such thing as overwritten in it because every word is significant. Everything fits perfectly: the plot, the characters, and the splendid take on the capall uisce (pronounced as CAPple ISHka) lore. The world-building is stunning and I’m presented with an original and imaginative story. Seriously, who else have thought of writing a story about water horses? Right. No one. (None that I know of anyway) 

Here, we are introduced to the two main characters, Kate “Puck” Connelly and Sean Kendrick, who have all the reason to win in the annual Scorpio Race. Puck’s parents were killed almost a year ago by the vicious water horses that emerge from the sea, aka capaill uisce, leaving her and her two brothers to fend for themselves in the island of Thisby. When her older brother Gabe chooses to leave them and go to the mainland, Puck had no choice but to join the Scorpio Races to stop him from leaving, or at least delay his imminent departure. To make matters worse, their house will be taken away from them. This only strengthens Puck’s resolve to join the races and try to make ends meet. Now enter the four-time Scorpio Races winner, Sean Kendrick, who grew up alongside capaill uisce and taming them as best as he could. There’s only one thing important to him and that is Corr, a red water horse that he considers his family. But Corr is owned by Benjamin Malvern and winning one more time in the races means opportunity to buy Corr and freedom from the Malverns.

The story is told from Sean and Puck’s POV and that gave me the chance to get inside both of their heads. Sean is a man of few words and mostly keeps things to himself. I simply adore him and his courage and determination and his rare talent at pacifying the aggressive stallions. Puck on the other hand is undoubtedly one of the few heroines that made a remarkable impression on me this year. She has flaws—ones which made her so real to me and I knew just from the beginning that I would connect to her.

If I knew that this book doesn’t evolve much about romance, I would have been a little put-off and reluctant to pick it up. But don’t be discouraged because as far as slow-building romance goes, Maggie had done it impeccably. I was pleased with the pace of how their relationship went from strangers and opponents to friends and then much later on lovers. The fleeting swoon-worthy moments were definitely worth waiting for.

Dove (Puck’s horse) and Corr are both as important as the main characters. The story is about them in the first place and Sean and Puck are the anchors and guides. In the end, I’m not ashamed to admit of being attached to fictional animals.

The ending was perfect. It wasn’t much of a closure and was more open-ended, but surprisingly I liked it that way. It squeezed my heart and kept me up at night and the next day, I couldn’t read another book. Not yet… knowing that I need time to absorb it all. The Scorpio Races explore the nature of true love. Not just romantic love but love in general. I usually buy books that I know I will at least like. And I will never regret buying this. It’s 482 pages of masterpiece and originality and I can definitely see a reread in the future.

Favorite Quotations: 

“That's a poor match, Sean Kendrick," says a voice at my elbow. It's the other sister from Fathom & Sons, and she follows my gaze to Puck. "Neither of you are a housewife."
I don't look away from Puck. "I think you assume too much, Dory Maud."
"You leave nothing to assumption," Dory Maud says. "You swallow her with your eyes. I'm surprised there's any of her left for the rest of us to see.” 

“There are moments that you'll remember for the rest of your life and there are moments that you think you'll remember for the rest of your life, and its not often they turn out to be the same moment.” 

“I say, 'I will not be your weakness, Sean Kendrick.'
Now he looks at me. He says, very softly, 'It's late for that, Puck.”
