The One by Kiera Cass Book Review!

I'm finally reviewing The One, which is the third book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass. This is, by far, my favorite book in the series.

I don't know where to start. How about I start with saying AMERICA AND MAXON ARE TOGETHER!!! NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY!!! To be honest accidentally had it spoiled for that America chose Maxon, but I didn't really care because that's what I wanted.

I guess the one thing that was annoying was that they just wouldn't say that they loved each other in the beginning of this book. There was a part where America say that she's not going to say it first. Really America? I love the part when they finally say I love you to each other, and I love the part when Maxon tells her to call him her royal husbandness was really cute.

And Aspen and Lucy! I ship it! I like Aspen more in this book then the last two books. I don't hate Aspen, I just don't like it when someone tries to get in the way of my OTP. I think Aspen and Lucy make a great couple.

I'm a little sad that some characters I liked died, but I'm really happy my favorite characters are alive!

And then there's Celeste, who I didn't like at all in books one and two was now being nice and supportive and almost all I could think is 'Who are you and what have you done with Celeste?' Not that her being nice was a bad, it was just so unlike her, but I'm glad she had a change of heart, until, you know, the end.

I love this book! It was both heartbreaking and heartmending, and the ending was amazing!!! I NEED THE HEIR NOW KIERA CASS!!!

The Elite by Kiera Cass Book Review!

 I'm now going to review The Elite, which is the second book in The Selection series by Kiera Cass. WARNING: SPOILERS!

Here's a short summary. America is confused about her feelings for Maxon and Aspen. Told you it was short.

I'm the kind of person who watches reviews on YouTube so I kind of knew a little about what happened in this book, but I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into until I read. I love this book but I agree with CassJayTuck when I say that this book was frustrating in good way.

Most of the book America being with Maxon one minute and then Aspen the next. I mentioned in my review for The Selection that I don't like Aspen and America as a couple. At all. And by the time I read this book I was at the point where I wanted Aspen to leave because he was annoying me. And there were part when Maxon kind of got on my nerves, like seeing him make out with Celeste. As for America, I actually kind of like her. Some people who read the books really don't seem to like that much, but I do. Yeah, she's not my favorite heroin in all of book history, but she's okay.

The parts I did like has to be the cute Maxerica parts. I ship them so much!

There were also scenes that made my jaw drop to the floor, and one of the was the whole thing with Marlee. That scene was so sad but it was sweet that Carter was trying to reassure her that everything will be okay, and then they got married which I thought was sweet. 

I don't like the king at all. He's such a horrible person! And the part where Maxon and America are in the room together and he shows her his back that whole scene just made my sad and he said that he should have proposed that night in her room, and she said that she should have let him, and by that point I was crying.

Another part that made my jaw drop was America attacking Celeste. I was expecting her to punch Celeste, but then that happened. Celeste did deserve it, but I don't really now how I feel about that scene.

I really do like this book, but, honestly, it's not my favorite of the series.

The Selection by Kiera Cass Book Review!

I'm back with another review! This time I'm reviewing The Selection which is the first book in the Selection trilogy by Kiera Cass. I loved this book!!! 

Everyone in the country of Illea are rated by the caste system starting from One to Eight and your caste determines her occupation, pretty much. America Singer, a Five is in love with Aspen, a Six, who tells her to enter the Selection. Whoever wins the Selection gets to marry Prince Maxon. When America meets Maxon he's nothing like she thought he was and starts falling for him, not sure if she should choose Aspen or Maxon.

I ship Maxon and America so hard! For me the boat of 'Who Do I Ship With America' sailed when I first saw Maxon. When I saw Aspen and America being all couple-y I felt nothing and Aspen kept reminding me of Gale from The Hunger Games. But when I saw Maxon and America together I couldn't help smiling. And when Aspen came back into the picture near the end of the book I wanted him to leave. I have nothing against Aspen, I just don't really like him that much. And if you read my reviews you know how I feel about love triangles.

I love Maxon's character. He's so different from every guy in every YA book that I read so far. He's so polite, and compassionate, and just a gentleman which was very nice to see.

And then there's Celeste who I REALLY don't like! Her character reminds me of Nellie Olsen from the Little House books. I like Marlee and America's friendship, and it was nice to see that not all of the girls were competitive and were nice to America. 

And let's take a moment and look at the book cover. That's one of the reasons why I love this series: the covers are beautiful and the dresses are so pretty!

I saw some people say that this book is "too girly", but I'm perfectly fine with that. The Selection isn't The hunger Games, or Divergent, or Legend and I like those books and all, but sometimes it's nice to have a change and this was a change I liked.

All in all, this was a great book, and I want to read The Elite.

Anne's House of Dreams by L. M. Montgomery Book Review!

Anne's House of Dreams is the fifth book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Normally when I read a series I would review all the books in order, but I don't own books four and six so I just going to skip them for now. WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS INCLUDING THE DEATH OF A CHARACTER!!!

After three years of waiting, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe are finally married. They move away from Avonlea to Four Winds to their house of dreams. Gilbert is a successful doctor. Anne befriends with Leslie Moore, a young woman who keeps to herself. The book shows the first three years of Anne and Gilbert's marriage.

It's a little sad that Anne moved away from Avonlea, but Four Winds is also very pretty. Out of all of Anne and Gilbert's neighbors I liked Captain Jim the most. He told some interesting stories, and he was very sweet. I'm happy is life book was written. And the fact that he died after finishing it, and when Gilbert said Captain Jim had crossed the bar made me cry.

I do't really like Miss Cornelia. She kind of reminds me of Rachel Lynde. She doesn't seem to like men very much and whenever she talks about them she the sentence by saying "Just like a man." I find this a little ironic because at the end of this book Miss Cornelia marries Marshall Elliott.

I like Leslie. She is quiet, and is very privet about her life. Leslie sometimes is jealous of Anne because Anne has a loving husband and a baby on the way. Leslie and Anne become good friends, and she marries Owen Ford. Leslie is a good character and I do like her friendship with Anne and I like that they stay friends in the future, but their friendship kind of makes me miss Anne and Diana's friendship.

Another part that made me cry was when Anne gives birth to Joyce, but Joyce doesn't survive. That whole part was just heartbreaking.

I like that we also see some familiar faces such as Marilla, Diana, Jane Andrews, Miss Lavendar, Charlotta the Fourth, Paul Irving, and even Phillipa Gordon

Even tough this isn't my favorite book of the series, I enjoyed it.

Uprising by Shelly Crane Book Review!

Today I'm reviewing Uprising by Shelly Crane, which is the second book in the Collide series. WARNING: SPOILERS!!!

So much happens in this book. Sherry and Merrick's little group is getting bigger and bigger, and the Taker is getting creepier and creepier. The Specials getting strange powers for no apparent reason (This technically happened in the last book, but I forgot to mention it).

What makes this book different from the last one is that we get Cain and Lillian's POV's, not just Sherry and Merrick's. I love Cain and Lillian! We also get the Taker's POV sometimes, too.

Shelly Crane really pulled on my my heart strings this time. Cain and Lillian are so cute! They are so good together that you can't help but ship it. And Jeff and Marissa finally got together! The are so cute and everyone finding out was hilarious. If you're anything like me then you'll have four or five OTPs by the end of the series.

Cain at one point admits that he is in love with Sherry. I disliked that part not because I didn't like Cain, but because I really don't like love triangles. But Cain is a really good guy and doesn't act on his feelings toward Sherry. All in all I really like Cain's relationship with Sherry and Merrick.

I also like Lillian and Sherry's friendship. In the last book Lillian was in, like,one part (she may have been in more but I don't remember). After her husband's death, Lillian is trying to move on and seems to really drawn to Cain. I really love the part when Lillian goes to rescue Cain. 

And then Shelly Crane did a thing that broke my heart. The part in which Merrick asked Sherry if she was cheating on him with Cain. That part and the few chapters after that just broke me. I knew Piper was behind it! Shelly Crane really had me worried. 

Danial is interesting. He's a Lighter but goes from bad to good after seeing Lillian. He also helps out Sherry at the end of the book. I like Danial, but He's not my favorite.

And then there's Lily. Lily is three year old girl whom Sherry and Merrick adopt. I love the cute family moments they have.

Two characters have birthdays in this book. Sherry turns twenty and Calvin turns twelve, I think.

I like that all the Specials have super powers. Cain's power is especially awesome.

I love this book. Shelly Crane is amazing.

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi Book Review!

Shatter Me is the first book in the Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi. Warning: SPOILERS!!!

Juliette is a girl who's touch can kill or fatally injure a person, kind of like Rogue from X-men. Then her world changes when she finds out that the two boys who are in love with her can touch her without getting injured. 

Juliette is a really awesome character. When I read the book (or listened to the audiobook if you want to get technical about it) Juliette came across as shy, quit, and reserved, which she is, but she also can morph into a kick-butt character when needed, like when she threatened to kill Warner (at least I think it was Warner) I was like 'Whoa Juliette!' which you can't really blame her for. All in all, Juliette was a great lead character.

Now let's talk about Adam!!! I really love Adam SO much! He is so sweet, and loyal, and respectful. Pretty much through out the whole book I was think 'Why can't he be real?!' And the parts with him and his ten year old brother were so sweet. My heart melted when his brother came to him when he had a nightmare. Did anyone else experienced this or is it just me?

Now for Warner. I'm gonna be honest, I felt nothing for Warner through out this book. If you're a fan of Warner please don't get mad at me, this is just how I felt. I thought he was a real pansycake (Divergent reference!), when he just shot that guy in front of everyone without a second thought, or when he put Juliette in that room with the toddler, he just gave me reasons not to like him. But, then again, my opinion of him could change, I haven't read Unravel Me or Ignite Me, or even the novellas yet, so bare with me. 

Kenji is amazing! I wish there was more Kenji in this book! But I don't really like how he swears a lot, but other then that I love him.

CassJayTuck was right: the ending was like X-Men! And I am a huge X-Men fan. My favorite parts are all the one with Adam (surprise, surprise). 

I really didn't expect to love this book. Tahereh Mafi did a fantastic job!

Crossed by Ally Condie Book Review!

Hi!  

I'm now going to review Crossed by Ally Condie, which was fantastic! Contains some spoilers of the end of the book.

In this book Cassia goes to the Outer Provinces trying to find Ky with the help of her new friend Indie. Meanwhile, Ky and his friends Vick and Eli try to find the Rising.

One of the best things in this book is Ky's POV. I said it before and I'll say it again: I love Ky!!! Ky and Cassia aren't the same people they were in Matched. They've changed a little bit been since they've apart from each other, not a lot but a little bit, and I'm totally fine with it.

Indie, Vick, and Eli are great characters. I like Cassia's friendship with Indie. Cassia really didn't expect Indie to stay and help her, but she did. Without Indie Cassia wouldn't have found Ky. I liked Vick. I didn't expect to like Vick as much as I did. And I love Eli!

I didn't really like that Ky and Cassia were apart for most of the book, then at the end when they separated again.  My favorite parts of the book were when Ky and Cassia were together.

That's all for now.

Bye.

Matched by Ally Condie Book Review!

I am finally gonna review Matched by ally Condie! Yay! Iove this book so much!

I had this review all written out was about to post it, but then I pressed the backspace button and it took me back a page and I lost everyting, so I'm not gonna write the summary I had again. Sorry. If you the summary here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7735333-matched

On of the things I like about Cassia is that she's not like Katniss (the Hunger Games),
or Tris (Divergent), or June (Legend), etc. She's not really a fighter, which is okay. 

I LOVE KY!!! He's so sweet! I love him with Cassia! I ship it! He's awesome!

Xander is okay. I din't ship him with Cassia, but I like him. this is actually the only love triangle I like, and if you've been reading my reviews you know I don't like love triangles.

Another thing I like about this book is the righting style. It's so beautiful, and poetic. I remember listening to the autiobook and thinking that this sounds so pretty.

I also like that this series is different form the other dystopian books that I've read. There no fighting, or guns, etc. It's a nice change of pace. 

I love this book. I definitely recommend it. 

Wide Open by Shelly Crane Book Review!

I'm FINALLY reviewing Wide Open by Shelly Crane. This is the sequel to Wide Awake and Wide Spaces. You can read this book by it self but I recommend reading the other books first. Warning: SPOILERS!!!

This book is about Mason's brother Milo and a girl named Maya. Milo is a drug addict who's been clean for two years. Maya is also an addict who's been clean for four years, and works as a counselor for kids who have problems with drugs. The book is about them falling a love and learning trust each other, running into a whole lot of heartbreak along the way.

When we first meet Milo in Wide Awake he was rude, and we only saw him for a second in Wide Spaces to see Mason's and Emma's wedding. He was also rude to Mason and Emma in the first chapter too. But skip two years into the future and Milo is a completely differently person who I never expected to love so much. He meets some people who helped him get clean. Milo is actually a really sweet person, and you can't help but love him. 

Maya is also very awesome. Maya's back story is very sad. Her mother died and that got her into doing drugs in the first place, and then her father helped stop and then he died, and to top it off: her brother is dying of cancer. Yeah, it's hard not to cry when reading Maya's POV. I'm also proud of Maya for not giving in and taking the drink even though she wanted to. She didn't want to throw four years of being sober down the drain, and she didn't want Milo and her brother to be disappointed in her.

I love Milo and Maya as a couple! It's sweet yet heartbreaking at the same time. I love that Milo always calls Maya sweetheart, and I love their thing with fortune cookies. If you read Wide Awake and Wide Spaces you'd know that Mason and Emma's thing is the books full of useless facts, Milo and Maya have fortune cookies and it's so cute. My favorite fortunes in the book are "I cannot help you, for I am just a cookie." and "The best feeling in life: to love and be loved.", and Maya's fortune was beautiful and is one of my favorite quotes of the book.

I don't think I've ever cried at a Shelly Crane book. Ever. I was crying mostly at Maya's parts then I did at Milo's parts. I cried at the part when they're going to see the new baby and Maya said that she always be there for him with her arms wide open to welcome him home, and Mason and Milo's reunion, and Will dying, and the ending. 

I don't do drugs and I never will, but I knew some stuff about drugs and addicts before reading this book, but reading a story told by people who went through it really snapped things into perspective. Like when I read The Fault in Our Stars, I knew about cancer but I didn't really know about cancer until I've read about someone who is going through it. That's how i feel with Wide Open because I know about drug abuse and such but I didn't know until I read this book, because all Milo and Maya want is to be forgiven for the things they did in the past and they feel like they can't be forgiven. And Mason tells Milo that all he ever wanted was for him to come back home (excuse me while I cry).

All in all, this is a fantastic read. I highly recommend it, but I suggest you have tissues ready.

Guitar Notes by Mary Amato Book Review!

I stayed up all night finishing Guitar notes by Mary Amato, and now it's time to review it. Warning: Spoilers!!!

Tripp loves to play guitar, but when his mom takes it away to get him to socialize he signs up to use one of the school's practice rooms to play the guitar. Lyla is a cellist who doesn't really like playing the cello but does it to make people happy. Tripp and Lyla end up sharing the practice room, Tripp gets it on odd days and Lyla gets it on even days. They start leaving notes for each other and from an unlikely friendship and write all sorts of songs together.

I love Tripp. He's so funny. Some of the stuff he pulls on his mom are funny like when he replaced the coffee grounds with dirt or when he put her check book in the freezer because she froze his bank account. I don't condone what he does but it's funny.

I also like Lyla. To be honest I liked Trips POV more than Lyla's. Don't get me wrong, I love Lyla, but there moments where I wish she'd say 'no' to her dad and Annie about some things. I know she didn't want to disappoint them but still.

Maybe the reason I didn't love Lyla's POV as much as Tripp's is because I don't like Annie. I disliked Annie the whole book. She was so pushy and rude and annoying. She was always like "You think you're better then me" or "You hate me" and it really got on my nerves!

Another character I didn't really like was Tripp's mom. She takes his guitar while he's sleeping and left him a note saying he would get it back at the end of the semester if he gets good grades and if he tries to be more social. Are you kidding me?! She doesn't even discuss it with him. She could have handled the situation way better than she did. It would be like my parents taking my books away.

I love all the moments when Tripp and Lyla are together. I like the part when they stole the blasty rug and gave to the little boy, and when they talk on the phone, and text; it was just really sweet. Yeah, I kind of ship tripp and Lyla.

I also really love the songs Mary Amato wrote for the book. My favorite, I think, is Lucky Me.

And now for the ending. I was so afraid that Lyla wasn't going to wake up, and I was just crying and crying and crying some more. And then she wakes up the sound of Tripp singing and I was so relieved and happy!!! I can't tell you how happy I was. Some people say that the ending was rushed and that's true I guess, but it really doesn't bother me.

I really love this book. My one problem is that it leaves me wanting more.

Wide Spaces by Shelly Crane Book Review!

Wide Spaces by Shelly Crane is a novella that takes place after Wide Awake. I mention in my past reviews that I love Shelly Crane's books and this one is no exception.

Warning: Spoilers!

This novella Is narrated by both Emma and Mason's POV. Mason's POV is awesome. There's is also some really sweet Mason and Emma moments that made me love them more then I originally did. Mason still blames himself for what happened to his mother, and he is able to move on when she tells him that she trusted him and that it wasn't his fault.

Emma gets stranded in a blizzard, and Mason, being the awesome man he is, saves her just in nick of time. And it ended with Emma's and Mason's wedding and honeymoon. 

And the part that really made me happy was that Mason's brother Milo came to their wedding! For some reason it made very happy. In Wide Awake we didn't know a lot about Milo except that he hates Mason and blames him for what happened to their mom, so to see him at the wedding kind of showed that he still loved his brother.

All in all, this novella was awesome, but let's be real, anything Shelly Crane writes is awesome. 

Into the Still Blue



Into the Still Blue is the third and last book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veonica Rossi.

Spoilers!!! Spoilers!!!! Spoilers!!!

In this book Aria, Perry, and their friends are finally going to find the Still Blu, a place with no Aether storms. 

I love Aria and Perry. This book gives me Perria feels! I ship it hard! Perry and Aria are awesome lead characters.

I love Roar, and I still wish that Liv was alive so she and Roar could be together. I love Talon! I love the part when Perry, Aria, and Talon all fell asleep together. That part was so sweet!

I love the characters in this book. I didn't like Soren for most of the book. He so rude for a good chunk of this book, and I didn't like it at all. But near the end I thought he was kind of okay. I liked Brook more in this book. It seems like Brooke and Soren get together in the end.

I don't really like that Cinder had to die. Ever since book two I loved Cinder and Perry's friendship. And then this happened. I didn't cry when he died or anything, but I wanted him to live.

When everyone thought that Perry was dead, I went on the internet to find out if Perry lived. Ever since I read Allegiant I've been wary of book endings. But when I got to the part when you know that Perry is alive, I dropped to my knees and said "YES!!!!!!"

And we finally find out who Aria's dad is. I like this plot twist actually. I like her dad at the end of the book, I think. (And sorry, I can't remember his name.)

I love how this book ended (even though I wish Liv and Cinder had lived). It left me wanting more, but there's not going be anymore books in this series.

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan Book Review!



I'M FINALLY GOING TO REVIEW THE MARK OF ATHENA!!!! The Mark of Athena is the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, and is my favorite book in the series.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

The book takes place immediately after The Son of Neptune. The Greek demigods try to form an alliance with the Roman demigods. but it does't work out as planed. The seven demigods of the prophecy (Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, and Hazel) have to go to Rome to defeat the giants there, and Annabeth has a quest of her own and has to follow the Mark of Athena.

I love that all seven main characters are finally together!!! I love how everyone takes to each other. Frank and Leo are constantly fighting, Percy and Jason have a bromance and a little bit of rivalry going on, and Hazel is confused about how she feels about Leo (not romantically).

This book gave my a lot of Percabeth and Jasper feels. I love Percy and Annabeth's moments, and Jason and Piper are cute.

I love Leo, and Frank, and Hazel as well. Leo blames himself for blowing up New Rome. He also blames himself for Percy and Annabeth falling into Tartarus, And the whole thing with Nemesis made me mad. I wanted to punch Nemesis for calling Leo a seventh wheel! Did anyone feel this way or is it just me?

Remember in The Light Thief when Percy, Annabeth, and Grover almost fell into Tartarus? Well, in this book, that takes place five years after TLT, Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus. That's just cruel, Rick Riordan!

And Percy and Annabeth met Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Pack. Why do I find that part so funny?

I have a lot of favorite parts. I love when Annabeth and Percy kiss and then she judo flips him. And when Percy scared the dolphin men away with Diet Coke; the part has so hilarious!

I love this book and the characters. I highly recommend it.

Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi Book Review!



Through the Ever Night is the second book in the Under the Never Sky trilogy by Veronica Rossi. 

As always, there will be spoilers!

Aria and Perry are reunited! But when they return to the Tides everyone hates Aria because shes a Dweller. Aria and Roar leave the Tides to try to find Liv.

The book start where Under the Never Sky left off. Perry and Aria are reunited, but almost everyone at the Tides don't seem to ship it. I liked Brooke a lot less in this book. She keeps being rude to Aria. Brooke could have handled the situation a whole lot better.

I wish Aria and Roar didn't leave, that was frustrating, but I do love their friendship. I don't like Kiera and it looks like I had good reason to. The whole time Perry and Kiera were alone I was like "KIERA STAY AWAY FROM PERRY!!!!!"  

I love Roar and Liv together, but Veronica Rossi kind of just threw that OTP out the window (thanks for that Veronica Rossi). But I'm so glad that we got to see them together even though it was for like a second.

I love Cinder, and Talon, and I also like Reef, and most of the other people of the Tides. But our heroes have a new enemy to worry about: Sable.

I really did like this book. It's not my favorite in the trilogy, but I like it all the same.

Kilmeny of the Orchard by L. M. Montgomery Book Review!

I'm now going to review Kilmeny of the Orchard by L. M. Montgomery. I love this book! Montgomery captured my heart yet again.

The book starts with Eric who just graduated college and teaches at a school in Lindsay in Prince Edward Island. When he's walking through an orchard he meets Kilmeny Gordon, who is mute and plays the violin.

Spoilers! 

I love this book! Compared to L. M. Montgomery's other books like Anne of Green Gables, this book is short (I own the ebook version and it was a hundred and three pages), but that didn't bother me. Would I like the book to be longer? Yeah, I guess. Do I wish Montgomery wrote a sequel? Heck yes! But I love this book all the same.

In my past reviews its kind of obvious that I'm a true romantic. As much as I love Anne and Gilbert from Anne of Green gables, I love Eric and Kilmeny's romance. Their love story is not an uncommon one, but it's so sweet. 

There is kind of a love triangle (is it still a love triangle if the was never girl in love with the other guy?), but this doesn't bother because we really don't see a lot of Neil in the book.

Another thing I love about L. M. Montgomery books is Prince Edward Island. She describes so beautifully. I really want to go there now! I think Montgomery was born on PEI. I think all her book take place on the island too.

I also really like the writing style. The wording is very old fashioned (since the book came out over a hundred years ago that's not surprising), and the author wrote that made it sound poetic and beautiful, or at least I think so.

I love this book. And it's definitely something I'll reread and reread.

Wide Awake by Shelly Crane Book Review!

In case you couldn't tell I am a huge Shelly Crane fan. This time I'm reviewing a book in one of her other series: Wide Awake.

SPOILER ALERT!!! 

Emma wakes up from six month coma and she doesn't remember anything of her life. The more she learns about the person she used to be the more she doesn't want to be the old her, and ends up falling for her physical therapist Mason.

I love this book so much! If I was in Emma's shoes and I found out I've done the things she did I wouldn't want anything to do with the old me. But Emma gives being the old her a try and she hates it. It makes her want to be a better person.

And Mason. I. Love. Mason. He is so sweet! I love how he is with Emma, and his mom. I just love him! I need more Mason and Emma in my life!

I didn't really like Emma's "friends", or Andrew. I didn't really like her parents in the beginning. They wanted the old Emma back and seemed to oblivious to the fact that the old Emma was a brat.

This book had my attention from the first chapter, I think. The plot wasn't really an uncommon one (the the series finale of Full House comes to mind), but at the same time it was different. Emma tries to be the person she once was, but the more she ties the more she she wants nothing to do with the person she used to be.

Mason's story was sad. the whole thing with his mom and his brother and how he blames himself. And when Emma said she's not leaving him, that part was so sweet!

I really love this book. 

Independence by Shelly Crane Book Review!

Hi!

I'm back to review another Shelly Crane, Independence, the fourth book in the Significance series.


SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!




I this it's finally happening! CALEB AND MAGGIE GET MARRIED!!!! So does Kyle and Lynne!!! And Bish and Jen!!! But, of course, the Watsons have to try to ruin everything! This might be my favorite of the series.

I don't think I have to explain my obsession with CalebxMaggie (whatever their shipping name is). I talked about this in past reviews. I also love Lynne and Kyle. They're so cute! And Bish and Jen are finally together, I'm really happy about that.

The people I didn't like were Maggie's mom and Marcus. They are seriously annoying! Another thing I didn't like was Beck's additude when she found out that Maggie was an Ace. I mean, seriously. Why in books, TV shows, and movies when someone has mutant powers and everyone else calls them freaks? If my best friend told me she had powers I'd happy and maybe a little bit jealous. 

I also love that the book made two Imagine Dragons references! I love them! 

And the epilogue was so cute!!! I'm glad Caleb and Maggie got the happy ending they deserve.

I couldn't have asked for a better ending. Thank you Shelly Crane for this amazing book series.

Defiance by Shelly Crane Book Review!

Hi!

Defiance is the third book in the Significance series by Shelly Crane. It's been a while since I reviewed a book in this series but I  dot books three and four recently and I'm ready to review them.  

Spoilers ahead! Read at your on risk!

The book takes place immediately after the second one, and Maggie, Caleb, the rest of the Jacobson family are at the Reunification and things aren't exactly smooth sailing. The counsel want Maggie to stay permanently, Marla and Marcus are jerks, but what else is new.

I love this book! Caleb and Maggie are the best!!! The Caleb and Maggie moments are always going to be my favorite parts. I love that Maggie broke Caleb out of jail, and that she stands up to Donald. I just like Maggie as a character.

 I love Caleb with a passion. His character is awesome, he is so sweet. and I love how he is toward Maggie.

I love Caleb's family. I love Peter more than I did before. Seeing him defend his family against Donald was awesome, because we see kind of a different side too him. And I love Gran. She is spunky sweet. and Maria was cute and she says one of me favorite quotes from the book.

And Bish and Jen finally imprinted!!! FINALLY!!! And Maggie's dad imprinted which I liked. Fiona is a HUGE step up to Maggie's mom.

Two of my least favorite characters died and I can honestly say that I wont miss them. And why did Rodney have to die? Why?!

I highly recommend this book. Shelly Crane never disappoints.

 That's all I wanted to say.

Anne of the Island by L. M. Montgomery Book Review!

I recently finished Anne of the Island, the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I like to think of it as "The Book Which Everyone Wants to Marry Anne" Well, not everyone but she gets proposed to five times in this book. This is probably my second favorite book of the series.

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Anne leaves Green Gables and goes to Redmond college along with Gilbert Blythe and Priscilla Grant. Anne and Priscilla befriend a girl named Phillipa Gordon, who is described as being very beautiful. Diana Gets married to Fred Wright, and Anne finds out more about her parents.


I first want to talk about the thing with Ruby Gillis. I now understand what people were talking about on Tumblr. Yes, Ruby died. I didn't think I'd mind to much because I didn't care for Ruby all that much, but when she died I cried quite a bit.

The whole thing with Anne and Gilbert was painful to me. It was like watching the second movie and waiting three hours for them to kiss and FINALLY get together, but in this case I waited forty-one chapters. The ending is my favorite part of the book for obvious reasons.

I like the parts with Davy and Dora. Davy definitely get's himself in a pickle. He doesn't go to church to defy Rachel Lynde to go play with his friends and blackmails Dora into going with them. I felt so bad for Dora. She was so miserable. Davy then becomes so full of guilt he confesses to Anne. I scene I thought was interesting was when Davy tells Anne that he heard someone say a swear word and that he wanted to say it to even though he knew it was wrong. Anne tells him to say it and when he does he's so guilty and repentant and pretty much scares him into never swearing again. I just found that part to interesting for some reason.

I also thought the part when Anne found the house where her parents lived was pretty cool.

Phillipa Gordon is an interesting character. She is very outgoing (maybe a little more Anne, if that's possible), and comes of to seem a little spoiled, which she kind of is. She can't decide which of the two guys she likes to marry, but eventually marries a doctor. Phillipa isn't my favorite character of the book but I like her just fine.

This was a great book. It's one of the best books in the series in my opinion.
