Book Review For "Wicked Lovely"

Author: Melissa Marr

Aislinn can see fairies. Ever since she was a small child ,Aislinn has seen them. The Fey. And not the nice, cute kind with frilly little dresses and sparkly wings. No, these Fey are dark, evil, lustful, wild and ruthless. Every time you've ever had a sudden pain or tripped unexpectedly for no apparent reason, or worse, was most likely because of the Fey. Aislinn's grandmother is also cursed in seeing the Fey.  She has three rules for Fey Seers to follow with no exceptions:

Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible Fey.

Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible Fey.

Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.

But now the Summer King, Keenan, a hottie who has been searching for his Queen for centuries, is going to push Aislinn over her limit to resist all she's ever tried to avoid. No matter what the cost, because without a Queen, summer will literally die, and winter... shall reign. Forever. Everything is on the line, and a smart girl has to save herself and protect her friends. 
A dark enemy. A mortal love. Fairies. A dark book that will capture your attention.

The Pros: A book that had an excellent plot, this is so true!  It was hard to predict what was going to happen!  Very good sensory detail!  Nice POV and characters!
The Cons: Cussing, unspoken romance,  club scenes, and a couple of other references that some people may find offensive.  It could have been worse but it could have been better.  Overall, I thought it to be pretty good!

Book Review For "River Secrets"

Author: Shannon Hale

Sometimes I just want to shoot myself!  I feel like I never get to write on here anymore, and it drives me absolutely insane! Ah, enough of me though. :P Lets get down to business! River Secrets, I truly and sincerely love this book!
Razo is a boy from the forest filled with a duty to serve his country.  He is a loyal friend ho loves to mess around with his best friends Finn, Enna, and Prinncess Anidori (Isi).  He longs to be an important part of the up and coming war with Tira, Bayerns new enemy.  He finally makes it to a training camp and makes new friends and enemy's right away.  But that is not the most inportant of Razo's problems, he thinks he might be falling for the lovely and closed Dasha, and why does everyone keep finding charred bodies everywhere, and who is the cause?

This book was a mystery, thriller, and action/ romance.  I couldn't put it down and was constantly telling my mom the new turn of events.  I loved the action and Razo firey spirit.  The evolving romances between some the characters was very well done and descriptions were beautiful.  The pros and cons...The pros: I think I've told you most of them!  The cons: there was some cussing, vivid violence, and obscence jestures between a few characters. All in all though I will always love this book and its amazing author!
