Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

Well.... i can honestly say that this book.... was not what i expected... I don't despise it... i guess i'm leaning towards hate than like. It.... wow... Silas should have ended up with Lett, in my opinion. Rosie.... Rosie doesn't deserve the love. I honestly am not on her side. I am absolutely on Lett's side. That was the thing that bothered me the most, Silas giving up on Lett only to love Rosie.

Throughout the whole book, i didn't like Rosie. I don't know why, i just didn't like her character. She annoyed me a lot. The only time i actually did like her was when she was feeling guilty about Silas. She was just... annoying. I didn't really want to read her parts, even though I did. She just wasn't an enjoyable character for me. Neither was Silas.....

Also, the plot.... let's just say it wasn't my cup of tea. Overall I found the book boring in comparison to other books that I have read. I don't know what was actually wrong with it... i just didn't like the plot that much. Overall the book would be a 2 out of a 5 point scale. Lost one point because of the plot. Lost one point because of Silas, and lost one point because of Rosie. The two points given were because of Scarlett and what she had to go through because of these two love birds. I wouldn't have forgiven my sister if she stole my boyfriend (and to me, that's what she basically did. Silas loved Lett first. Even if she loves the hunt more than him, she could have learned to love him but she wasn't given that chance).

Bloody Valentine by Melissa De La Cruz

Ok.... so i'm sorry for leaving for such a long time.... I suck, i know. (not a pun to the book!) So i've been reading, of course, but i haven't had time to write any reviews/ spoiler thingies (or whatever you call these things that i write). I've been busy with school (*cough cough* procrastinating....) and doing surveys and things, but onward with the point. This book was better than some of the ones that have been released.

First, I actually followed the story of this book. This book had some words from Oliver's life, Alegra's background life, and then the bonding ceremony. The perspectives didn't change for each chapter. That was one of the many things that I enjoyed. This made the book easier to understand. Oliver's story stayed consistent. Instead of changing the story every few pages, Oliver's story was told first and then the next one was told and so on.

Second, i liked Alegra's story. It was my favorite out of the whole book, maybe even the whole series. This story provided background to Alegra's life. It added more... spunk? to the story. Alegra actually is someone. She isn't some angel who's in a coma and then disappeared.

Overall, this book was probably one of the best in the series (my opinion).

read books.... THEY'RE GOOD FOR YOU!!! (i think that's how it goes.... it's been so long i've forgotten.)
