Mortal Instruments - City of Bones

I just finished the book Mortal Instruments City of Bones. I really like the book a lot. There was a twist at the end that surprised me and I was hoping it wasn't true! But it was. The only thing I didn't really like about this part was the ending, where they confront the bad guy, that part lagged it went on and on and I was like just do something already!

The book is about a 15 year old name Clary who happens to go into an all age club and follows a demon to three shadowhunters. After that, Clary's life changes! She is no longer the mundane she thought she was and finds out she is more like these shadowhunters then she ever wanted to be. She finds out her whole life has been a lie and her mom didn't tell her what she really was.

When her mom goes missing she teams up with the shadowhunters to find her mom. But not just the shadowhunters are helping, her friend Simon that she known all her life, who is a simple mundane (human) helps out as well. I really like the characters Simon and Jace.

I really like the twist and turns of the book. And now I just started the second book in the series and so far it is good as well.

Truly Madly - A Lucy Valentine Novel

I received this book in the mail a couple months ago as an ARC (Advance Reading Copy). When I received it, just looking at the cover it didn't really look like something I would be interested in. Man, I have to stop judging a book by its cover because this book was great.

The book is about Lucy Valentine, family of the great match-makers of Valentine Inc. All Valentines can read peoples auras and set them up with there ultimate match, that is except Lucy. Lucy ability got electrified and instead of being able to match make she can find lost objects just by shaking hands with the person who lost the object.

This is a very funny, entertaining book with a mystery as well. Lucy gets herself in a bind when she shakes someones hand who is missing a ring. As soon as she shakes his hand, Lucy knows where it is, in the ground on a skeletons hand! Lucy just can't leave this alone and must figure out the mystery. But, not by herself of course. Sean the hot PI from the office above Valentine Inc helps along the way. And Sean is the first person that her powers works differently than normal.

I recommend this book, it was highly entertaining, and I couldn't put the book down. I loved Grendel the three legged cat :)

I can't wait for the second book to come out which is Deeply Desperately by Heather Webber.

Book suggestion?

I am seriously at a standstill of what to read. I have a couple books on my kindle right now but nothing seems appealing. I don't know what I want to read. Maybe an adventure mystery or a historical fiction or a steampunk. Maybe I will go searching for another steampunk...

Scott Westerfeld Leviathan

I have to wait to read the rest? Leviathan end with you wanting more and a bunch of questions that were not even answered!

Leviathan is the past but a different past than we remember. It is at the start of a war Darwinist vs Clankers or how we remembered it WWI. It is about Alek and Deryn both on different sides of the war. Alek is a clanker and and Deryn is a Darwinist. Both of them are hiding there identity. Alek is hiding that he is of noble blood and Deryn is hiding that she is a girl.

Deryn is on the Leviathan posing as a boy because girls are not allowed to fly on the Leviathan. Alek is running away from his life after his parents were murdered. And their paths cross when Alek witnesses the Leviathan crash landing close to his hideout. Desperate to help them, Alek runs right into Deryn!

It is a great book, I really enjoyed reading it. Deryn and Alek are so different. I like the way Deryn speaks with her slang. And Alek is...to take Deryns word posh! I didn't want the book to end and there were so many questions I wanted to know like. Will anyone find out Deryn is a girl? Will Alek be able to escape? And what are in those darn eggs? I can't wait till the next one comes out Behemoth in I guess October :(

Beautiful Creatures

Beautiful creatures, what immortals call the mortals who believe that they can change everything.

Ethan is an everyday boy living in an everyday small town where nothing is ever changing and no one ever leaves. Until he starts having dreams about a girl he had never met, and a month later she shows up in his life.

The book is a love story like a lot of the other young adult stories out there. Beautiful Creature is a lot like Twilight and Hush Hush with mystical creatures falling in love with a mortal. Beautiful Creatures is narrated by Ethan a sixteen year old boy who falls in love with Lena. Lena is different then you normal girl and Ethan soon finds out exactly what Lena, the girl of his dreams, really is. And, when he does, his whole life begins to change. His everyday town that he thought he knew everything about has secrets that he didn't even know about.

I really enjoyed the book, I found myself getting lost in the story. You find yourself despising Mrs. Lincoln and rooting for Lena and Ethan's relationship even though everyone is against it. And throughout the whole book you keep wondering what will happen on Lena's sixteenth birthday.

The ending leaves me with questions, will there be a second one? Is there something now going to happen on Lena's 17th birthday? And, why didn't Lena's name change like all the rest of her family members?

But overall good book. :)

books books books!

I have been reading, I just haven't been posting. I finished the Percy Jackson trilogy. It was really good but the ending makes you think that there might be another series that will come along with Percy Jackson as a side character instead of the main character. Kind of like Uglies, Tally was the main character for the first three books and then time went by and there was the book Extras and Aya was the main character but Tally still had a apperance in the book. I don't know if the author Rick Riordan is going to do that because he is coming out with a new series called The Kane Chronicles which I already have in my wish list to read once it comes out.

After reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians I went on to read the last book in the Millenuium series The Girl who Kicked the Hornet Nest. You can't get it in the US yet, but if you are really wanting to read it you can get it from the UK. The book was non stop until the end. Even the last couple of pages you were really into it wonder how it was going to end! The book started where The Girl who Played with Fire ended, with Lisbeth barely alive with three gun shots: one to the head, one to the shoulder and one to the hip. The books goes with Mikael trying to get Lisbeths freedom back while she is locked up in the hosptial recovering. It is a really great book. After I was done I found the movies which were in Swedish and started to watch them with sub titles!

Right now I am reading Beautiful Creatures and so far it is really good. It takes a different aspect with the narrator being a guy instead of a girl which normally these books are. Ethan, the narrator, has been having dreams of a girl but he doesn't know who she is until a new girl comes to school. If you liked Twilight you will probably like this one. I am about half way through.

More Percy Jackson!

Since my last post, I have been reading the rest of the series from Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I just can't get enough of them. After reading The Lightening Thief and loving it I went on to book number two: Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Sea of Monsters.

Again, I learned alot about greek mythology monsters. With my Kindle I can put my cursor over the monsters name and learn more about it in the dictionary. I like the introduction of Tyson. He is one of my favorite characters. Along with Percy, Annabeth and Grover. The book starts out with Percy proud that he almost got through a whole year of school without any trouble until the dodgeball game with monsters! He finds out his best friend at school Tyson, just happens to be a cylops. Then together with Annabeth the three of them go on a quest to find Grover who happens to be with the one thing that can save camp-half blood, the golden fleece. They go on there adventures and it is page-turning fun!

After The Sea of Monsters I went straight into the third book The Titan's Curse. In this book we get introduced to the hunters. Along with Bianca and Nico Di Angelo. Also, we get to know Thalia better, the daughter of Zeus. Who at the end of book 2 gets transformed from a tree that she was trapped in for 7 years to human form again. Persy quest this time is to rescue one of his best friends Annabeth who was thrown off a cliff with a monster. Also, to save Artemis. With Kronos army getting bigger and the more monsters forming Persy adventures are entertaining.

I am now in book four The Battle of the Labyrith and I am loving that one as well. I am about 60% done. Kronos army has found a possible way into Camp Half blood to destroy it, a opening from the Labyrith right in Camp Half Blood. If the Kronos army can figure out a way to navigate through the Labyrith they will have a huge advantage. Annabeth quest is to stop this advantage. With Persy, Tyson and Grover the four of them set foot in the Labyrith to make sure the Monster don't win. But will they be able to stop the army in time? I am half way through to knowing!
