Book Review: Anything He Wants by Sara Fawkes

First published as a five-part e serial novel, Anything He Wants inflamed imaginations everywhere and became a national bestseller.  Now available for the first time ever as a complete book, this edition contains never-before-released scenes and special bonus material. Don’t miss this erotic tale of  a powerful billionaire who always gets what he wants and the young woman who’s about to enter his exclusive realm--a world of glittering opulence and all-consuming passion, where she’ll explore the darkest reaches of her own desire.

Lucy Delacourt's temp position isn't quite her dream job but it pays the bills. The highlight of her day is riding the elevator in the mornings with a handsome stranger. Tall, dark, and sexy as hell, Lucy knows he's way out of her league, but a girl can look, right?

Everything changes the day the stranger seduces her. Completely out of character, she yields without a fight, but she has no idea her wanton acts with a man whose name she doesn't know will change her life forever. Because the sexy stranger is none other than Jeremiah Hamilton, billionaire CEO of Hamilton Industries, and one taste isn't nearly enough to satisfy his need.  As the billionaire pulls Lucy deeper into his world of high stakes business deals and ruthless takeovers, he demands nothing less than her complete surrender.  But even as enemies seek deadly revenge against him, she’ll discover that her greatest threat is falling for her fiercely guarded boss…and yielding to her own darkest needs.

My Thoughts:
This book was good, I didn't love it unfortunately. The sex scenes were hot, but nothing compared to Selena Kitt or Sylvia Day. They were on the shorter side and just weren't really that descriptive. And it was straight and to the point. Not much foreplay which obviously sets the mood for the whole scene. I would definitely read another book by Sara Fawkes simply because she thought outside the box and it really did make a difference in my overall opinion.

About 50% into the book I really wanted to give up on this book. Not because it's bad because it's not but because every other 'bdsm' book is going the same now days. Some bottom of the line worker is seen by the million or billionaire or even bajillionaire and he instead has to hire her for some outrageous, essentially stupid position and have sex with her. So she's technically a fancy hooker. and then he likes her. But he can't love her for some random reason. And then some threat is involved and he has to keep her safe. And then its all over and he still can't love her. Sorry about the rant, but you know its true. So I was really thinking this book was going to follow that path....

It did somewhat, but it was very different at the same time. There was a whole lot more threat in the whole somebody's trying to kill us part. And way more deep and detailed. There was so much drama I almost couldn't keep up. The ending is what really made me give it a 4 star rating. I was incredibly relieved that it didn't end like fifty shades. With the whole marriage and happy ending bullshit. The ending to this book was really amazing. I can't picture it ending any other way.

And I just want to say sorry its been taking me forever to read one book and I've been posting mostly movie reviews, but since its the holidays and I work in retail, I've been working like crazy. And its so much faster to watch a movie and it helps me wind down. But have no fear, it'll be over soon.

Book Review: The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Book #1 in Maze Runner Series

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they've closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

Goodreads - Amazon - B&N

My Thoughts:
I couldn't even imagine going through all the stuff that Thomas went through. Waking up in this box. In this new place. And not remembering anything except your name and some basic skills. My imagination really ran wild when reading this book. The descriptions of everything from the people, to the glade, to the creepy things in the maze. It really was amazing in my head.

Thomas was really brave, he dove right into life in the Glade. I loved his drive and ambition to be a runner and figure out how to get out of the Glade. Despite the fact that the others had been there for 2 years and tried everything they could think of. And the others doubted his abilities so much, they thought he wasn't cut out for it. That really spoke to me about his character and courage. And we can't forget their special slang they had, I thought that was a fun little extra while reading the book.

There is a little bit of romance, which we all knew was going to happen. We have this place filled with boys and then a girl is introduced. It was really nice, but not overwhelming  boys/men should have no problems reading through the romantic parts.

Let's not forget the cover. I also found this picture online (I'll post it at the end). It really gives a good idea of what it would be like for the Gladers. What the walls look like, How scary it would be to stare at those 4 walls day in and day out. And especially for the runners, they have to venture out into this maze and try to figure out how to get out or get stuff in there and well.. you know... I just love all the colors. And love how dark the sky looks.

The end got a little weird, it did answer some questions but not everything. But I really loved this book, I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. And I plan to continue with the series, but I heard it gets a little weird so I'm a little apprehensive. I'd really like to know what's going on with them.

Book Review: The Future of Us by Jay Asher

It's 1996, and Josh and Emma have been neighbors their whole lives. They've been best friends almost as long - at least, up until last November, when Josh did something that changed everything.

Things have been weird between them ever since, but when Josh's family gets a free AOL CD in the mail, his mom makes him bring it over so that Emma can install it on her new computer. When they sign on, they're automatically logged onto their Facebook pages. 

But Facebook hasn't been invented yet. And they're looking at themselves fifteen years in the future. By refreshing their pages, they learn that making different decisions now will affect the outcome of their lives later. And as they grapple with the ups and downs of what their futures hold, they're forced to confront what they're doing right - and wrong - in the present.

Goodreads - Amazon - B&N

My Thoughts:

I straight up devoured this book. I couldn't read it fast enough. I actually read this book back in May, around the time I started my blog, but somehow never wrote a review on it. I don't remember all the little things, but I remember how this book made me feel.

It was a really fast read for me. I loved how when I was reading this book, it mad me think about the past and how much things have changed since I was a teen. This is really an original idea. Now days everybody is so into social media sites. Especially Facebook, I only know a few people who don't have one. And I remember what it was like before Myspace and Facebook, and I couldn't even imagine going on my old Windows 95 and finding Facebook.

I loved Josh and Emma. They really were cute together, even though just friends. They seemed like people I would want to be friends with. And I liked that they had known each other their whole lives, instead of just for a few years. It really put more depth into the story. And made their experience with Facebook and their futures more meaningful to explore together.

It did get a little repetitive towards the last third of the book, but it picked back up and didn't bother me much more. I liked their adventure with all of the stuff that went on. I was a really great story. The ending was left a little open. But I'm fine with that, I used my imagination to fill in what I wanted to happen. Or how I think everyone ended up.

Overall this was a great book, I really love Jay Asher, I think he's an amazing author. I gave this book four stars on Goodreads, and I think that everyone should read it!

Book Review: Where She Went by Gayle Forman

It's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever.

Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. 

When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. 

As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future-and each other.

Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

Goodreads - Amazon - B&N - Audible

My thoughts:
I can tell this is going to be a review of few words, because this is definitely one of those books when I say- just go read it. But I'll try...

As I said in my review of If I Stay, I listened to Where She Went on audiobook. It only seemed right since I had listened to If I Stay. I knew that it was set a few years after the whole accident thing. And I knew that he had become famous and she had went off to Juilliard. But I wasn't sure exactly where they were going to pick back up.

It was really great hearing about what happened shortly after the accident. And learning why they're not together. And really seeing how things played out. Because when it starts out, you're left in the dark. We thought everything would be all good after she healed, I mean not perfect, but you know? Pretty good.

So it's 3 years later and nobody knows what happened. We don't know why they are broken up. Why they haven't talked in 3 years. And Adam's in New York and he goes to her concert. I really didn't expect that, but I love the way he talks about how her music makes him feel. It really speaks volumes.

One thing I really loved was the lyrics that were in the beginnings of each chapter. And he would say what album and what track. I think it really gave a lot of insight into how he was feeling.

Overall, I loved the first book and really thought the sequel was done really well. I would recommend this to my friends. They're good, quick read. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads.

U.S. Marine Sergeant Logan Thibault (Efron) returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, with the one thing he credits with keeping him alive--a photograph he found of a woman he doesn't even know.

Learning her name is Beth (Schilling) and where she lives, he shows up at her door, and ends up taking a job at her family-run local kennel.

Despite her initial mistrust and the complications in her life, a romance develops between them, giving Logan hope that Beth could be much more than his good luck charm.

My Thoughts:
I thought this was going to be a sappy love story, but it really was great! When I first saw the trailer for this movie I was at the movies with my sister and we were like: "OMG! Who's that guy? Oh wow, dude, I think that's Zac Efron. No way! It can't be! Oh my god, it totally is. Man! He really grew up!" Haha. Our conversation really did go just like that. So I was excited when I finally got to watch it!

And he was really hot in this movie. He looked really cute as a soldier. And their sex scene was like wow! I didn't know he had it in him. Other than that it was a cute and really good story. It wasn't really deep. It had to do with war and her brother. Along with a little bit of her crazy ex husband thrown in. It's definitely a chick flick and I think most girls/women would love it!

My Thoughts:
I really thought this was a great, funny movie. I've always loved Adam Sandler, but his last movie Jack & Jill really sucked. I think he really made a good come back with this movie. And Andy Samberg is hot! Who doesn't love him?! I felt bad for Todd, his dad was so weird and old school and so not famous anymore, but it all ended well. I really liked when the 'big secret' was revealed. I thought it was so funny how they didn't really think it was a big deal.

My 2 Cents: Jenny Pox

"Avoid Her Like The Plague"

This will be my second 2 Cents post. I did the first on A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger. I'll link it here if you want to check it out. 

Since I'll be talking about all the crazy scenes, it will obviously have a lot of spoilers. I suggest not reading any farther if you haven't read the book. Even if you don't plan on reading it, I still don't think you should read this post, you'll see all the awesome scenes you missed and will probably want to read it :) If you want to read my review of this book with no spoilers: you can do that here. 

This is obviously my 2 cents on Jenny Pox. I'm not picking it apart, not harping on the writing or what the author did that I didn't like or anything like that. Just talking about what happened in the book that made me really think wow! Or something that I really want to talk about with other people, so I'm spilling it here. 

Book Review: The Walking Dead, Volume: 4 & 5

Goodreads - Amazon - Comixology

Life in the prison starts to get interesting for Rick Grimes and the rest of our survivors. 

Relationships heat up, fizzle out, and change entirely almost overnight. 

By the end of this volume, relationships between key characters are radically changed, setting the stage for future events in TheWalking Dead.

My Thoughts:
Volume 4 was good, but it kinda started to slow down. It was more soap opera-ish than anything, which I personally enjoy. I love drama. I love fighting. I love relationship problems. a lot happened, I try to keep these spoiler free just in case someone hasn't read that far yet. Or is maybe watching the show and I wouldn't want to ruin something that could happen in the show. And I don't want to give stuff away that happens in previous issues/volumes.

The plot was still good. Moved along nicely. Lots of stuff going on. Cliffhangers and all, which I do enjoy at the end of the issue. It's like little finales or something in the middle of the book. Of course there's killings and all that jazz.

By the way, Charlie Adlard is still the illustrator and Cliff Rathburn is still doing the color/shading. And both are going wonderfully. 

Goodreads - Amazon - Comixology

As the survivors settle into their prison home something has drawn them out into the open... out of the prison... out of their sanctuary. 

This is a major turning point for the overall story of The Walking Dead, setting the stage for years to come.

My Thoughts:
Well, just when you think it can't get that much crazier, it does. Volume 5 really took off. There was a huge change. They actually found another group of survivors and that doesn't go over so well, it's actually pretty gruesome. And it had me scared for the rest of the book and I'm still scared because it hasn't been resolved yet.

Lori is working my nerves. She needs to just shut up already. She is so hard on Rick all the time and always so worried. And he's just trying to build a better life for everyone and help in any way possible. And her secret. OMG, it's just painful for me to watch. I can't believe she won't just tell it already. and the whole Carol thing, like really?! Wtf was that all about? Anybody have an opinion on that?! I'd love to hear it.

I can't believe how much I'm liking this series. I've read the first 5 volumes in like 3 days. I usually get tired of stuff pretty easily. But there must be just enough crazy stuff going on and changes every volume to keep me going. I've actually already caught up to the most recent issue. I will have a review for Volume 6: This Sorrowful Life, but that will be the last. Then I'll do an overall series (so far) review. If you want to see my review of The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye, you can do so here.

Have you read any of the comics?

Only watched the show? 

You should try the comic.

How do you think the show

compares to the comics?

Have a fabulous day!

Book Review: Jenny Pox by J.L. Bryan

Jenny Pox by J.L. Bryan

Book #1 - Paranormals Series

Eighteen-year-old Jenny Morton has a horrific secret: her touch spreads a deadly supernatural plague, the "Jenny pox." She lives by a single rule: Never touch anyone. A lifetime of avoiding any physical contact with others has made her isolated and painfully lonely in her small rural town. 

Then she meets the one boy she can touch. Jenny feels herself falling for Seth... but if she's going to be with him, Jenny must learn to use the deadly pox inside her to confront his ruthless and manipulative girlfriend Ashleigh, who secretly wields the most dangerous power of all. 

**Not recommended for readers under eighteen.**

My Thoughts:

Holy shizzz.. Wow. I really don't know where to begin. I stumbled upon this book when I was looking for books to read for Halloween, I think it was pretty high up on one list on Goodreads. So I looked it up and read some reviews. Everyone seemed to love it. And I saw that it was free for iPad, so I thought hey, why not?!

When I started reading the book, I was really intrigued. The story line and characters seemed pretty unique to begin with. Especially Jenny, I'd never read anything like this before. So I wasn't really sure what to expect, it was a little slow getting really into the story. The plot was slowly building. I'd say for me, it really picked up about half way through.

One thing I do wanna talk about is the graphic-ness in this book. I thought it was YA. I assumed it was, but apparently not, there were only a few sex scenes, but they were way to much for YA. So, that's just a little FYI if you're a young reader. And while doing this post and reading the synopsis again, I saw at the very bottom: *Not recommended for readers under eighteen.* So I've included it in this post just so you know. 

Now onto the characters, I liked Jenny, she seemed really nice and obviously quiet since she had no friends and was picked on all the time. But she was a very good daughter, she always tried to help her dad. And later on in the book she really shows a lot of strength and development. Her character pretty much did a 180, but only in the best of ways.

Since I read this for Halloween, I thought it would be violent and deathly. And in to beginning there's not, but toward the end. Wow. Everything sort of comes out. And then the very end. Like the last 20-30 pages. Like really?! Was anybody else really shocked at that? I was so confused for all of chapter 25, like what is gong on... But overall I liked it a lot. I gave it four stars on Goodreads. And I'll definitely be reading the other books in the series.

And just a little FYI, Jenny Pox is free on almost every e-reader except Nook.

Book Review: What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang

What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang

Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. 

Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't . . .

For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . . for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

My Thoughts:

I'm writing this little bit after reading the first chapter. I can already tell this is gonna be a great book and right up my alley. I can't wait to see where this goes. I'm already getting that feeling where I want to constantly read it. So I'm going to go do that.

Now I'm about half way through and I'm really liking it so far. Its very different. I am having a little trouble grasping the whole bit about how there are two people in one body. You know how when you're reading a book it just plays out in your mind like a movie. Well that little bit keeps getting me stuck. I'm not sure how to picture it. I'm trying to use special effects in my brain to help me out, so far it's doing okay, but I keep picturing a set of eyeballs inside this girls head looking out into the world through her sisters eyes. It's actually pretty creepy to think about. The characters are growing nicely and there are some suspenseful parts, I'm going to go finish it now.

So yeah. I just finished the book and wow. Just wow. It was amazing. And very confusing at times. But mostly wonderful. So from the start of the book, you know it's wrong that they're hybrid. So that kinda sets the mood for the book. It was mostly suspenseful and then at about 80% through the book, it really picks up. Everything gets crazy. All the action starts. I started getting really anxious and wanting everything to be okay.

It took me a little longer to read this book than I had wanted, but I had to take a little road trip to California. And that took several days of my time since I did most of the driving. But I really got back into it. And I'm really glad I did.

It's kinda hard to talk about this book without giving stuff away, but I'm going to try. At first I didn't like Addie. She seemed like she was kinda stuck up and better than Eva just because she was the dominant soul and could control the body when Eva couldn't. But her character really grew, as did all of the characters.

Let's talk a little about the climax and plot twist. It got crazy. I didn't expect it to be that, but it makes a lot of sense. I was really skeptical toward the end. I didn't really know how all this was going to end up.. And I was really scared there for a minute. But after that I was very pleased. I'm just wondering what the next book will hold. It closed everything off pretty nicely which I was pleased about. But it doesn't say what the future holds for them.

Overall I give it four stars. It was a really good book, but don't think it made my favorites list. It would make a really interesting movie though. And props to the author for coming up with such an interesting and original idea. And executing it very well. Go Kat Zhang!

Book Review: Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Book #1 in the Vampire Academy Series

St. Vladimir’s Academy isn't just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. 

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger...

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.


My Thoughts:

I didn't really know what to expect with this book, I'd heard a lot of great things about it, but didn't really know what it was about. I took a chance and bought it at Barnes and Noble a while back. So I finally decided it was time to read it about 2 months ago. I read the first chapter and wasn't really drawn in. So I put it down. I picked it back up and read a few more chapters and ended up putting it down again. The last time I picked it up I finally really started getting into it.

This book does have a slower pace, it keeps moving and things are happening, but they're not dramatic or big things. I think that's what caused me to keep putting it down. I'm used to pretty fast paced and action packed books. About half way through I got the lovely feeling of wanting to constantly read it until I finished it. I was starting to think that feeling wasn't ever going to come. It did get a lot faster when the climax/plot twist came into play. That was pretty good, because I was going crazy trying to figure it out myself.

I really liked the writing style. This is the first book I've read by Richelle Mead. Sometimes it was weird, because it would flash back, but I wouldn't realize it until I was like "Whoa! What the hell is going on?!" And then it would go right back into the present. It was just a little awkward, but it didn't happen very often.

I loved the story and the characters. Rose and Lissa's friendship and bond was amazing to read about. Everything that they had been through and how they had survived. And then everything that they went through in this book. It was the ideal best friend/practically sister relationship I've ever read about. Mostly because they both seemed to only care about the other, and not so much about themselves.

Lets talk about the love interests: Christian was pretty creepy at first, I didn't really know what to think about him. But he ended up being a really great character and a really good friend. Then there's Dimitri, oh my, I just knew that I was gonna like him from the first moment his name was introduced. And as he started doing the training sessions with Rose, he just got hotter and hotter.

Overall, I loved the book, I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. I will be continuing with the series. I'm eager to see what else will happen and what other adventures they can get into. The ending of this book left you feeling content for now, but left it open to the next one. And I really enjoy endings like that. I feel complete.

George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. 

Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?

Favorite Scenes:

-All the mirror talk
-The birth
-The protesting
-Open relationships
-When Linda drank that special tea

My Thoughts:

I thought it was a really good movie. It was really funny and heavy at the same time. Obviously they were in a really serious situation and they did what they thought was best. And it got pretty crazy around there. The people of Elysium live very different than we do. They're vegan and aren't keen on technology. And are into the natural way of life. I thought it was pretty interesting. I would never survive if I lived like that, but whatever makes them happy.

I wasn't really expecting to see all that nudity either, but the awkwardness made for some good scenes. This movie really had everything, I wanted to cry at times. And at other times I cried from laughing so hard. I definitely recommend watching this movie, but not with your kids.
