Words in Deep Blue

This is your next favourite book. You just don’t know it yet ^_^ “Words in Deep Blue” is both a love story and, in between, fairly a drama. The voices whispering it are humorous though full of sorrow. The characters are broken and, against all odds, still whole. My eyes are now both joyful and tearful after finishing reading it. When I…

Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil

You don’t measure a Marchetta book in number of stars. Maybe in entire constellations, if you really feel like counting. I’ve been staring at my laptop for a long time, trying to catch my breath, hoping to be able to put into words my love for this book and this author. But when she writes with such passion…

This Savage Song

Be careful, this song might get right to your soul! It’s hard to put into words all the emotions I felt while and after reading this book. So, let’s do this instead… Think of your top favourite song, listen to it in your mind, let it fill your heart with passion, let it vibrate through your veins. Is your skin…

I did not read The Grisha trilogy. Are you ok with that? Then I’m going to say that I loved this book from the bottom of my heart to the edge of yours and back. Long story short, because my young bundle of joy doesn’t let me stay away from him for too long, the Six of Crows is…

Burn

Love. Nightmares. Angels. War. This book has left me (like all the books in the series) with a fluttering feeling deep in my heart, like the touch of an angel’s wings – such a perfect ending to an even more perfect story!

Cracked

Probably the best new voice in the YA literature. I simply loved this girl’s wittiness and the story itself was just as great! Simply fabulous!

Becoming Rain

This is the second book in the series, and even though it was really entertaining and I liked the characters and their voices, you should probably take it with a grain of salt..

Burying Water

When it comes to the New Adult books the first thing I really appreciate is the originality, the freshness, the aspects I didn’t see (well, read about) before. This is one of the things I liked about this story, that it is different than all the other stories in this genre that tend to blend with each other. “Burying Water”…

If I lie

Oh, dear… How much can you sacrifice in your life for a promisse that you’ve made and you don’t want to break? How much are you willing to lose, when do you start living your own life & leave the past behind?

The Fill-In Boyfriend

To be honest, I was absolutely sure that I would love this story, even with the funny (though a bit unfortunate) title. And don’t get me wrong, the story is cute and quite amusing, for a younger audience it might sound much better anyways, but there were some things that made my rating drop a bit. Gia is very immature. Her problems…

Deadly Design

I love races against the clock. I like the suspense they bring into the story, how they can transform the characters, making them change their priorities and the way they see the world. I like stories about genetics, stories based on reality that step on the fine edge between science and science-fiction, that seem to bring nightmares to life. I like the plausibility…

The Night We Said Yes

There’s something magical about the books that happen during one night and all the possibilities they are filled with.
