Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs


San Francisco a wonder place. Right? Well not if you are the descendant’s triplets from Medusa.


Gretchen: the strongest and bravest of them all. She has been pretty much been fighting since she discovered her powers. Always on a lookout for those hideous monsters. But sometimes it tends to ruin her schedule, because hey, she still has school and has homework too. So try cramming that into your life. But you do what you go to do. So she was really surprised to see an exact copy of herself in the same place where a monster was lurking. 

Grace:  She has the power to Autoport anywhere. She just moved to San Francisco. Hoping it will take her somewhere new in life. But she is also worried. And I don’t blame her because who wouldn't be. She is an optimistic person who tends to encourage and persuade people around her to do the right things. But when she sees a girl in a club all dressed up to fight the “monster”, she was even more surprised that the girl looked just like her. It totally turned her life around.  

Greer: Has the powers to see the future. Life is perfect. Greer is rich, famous, and loves being her. So how would you explain when two girls that look exactly like her come knocking on the door saying that they are triplets? Totally Confusing, Right! She tries to forget what happened and that somehow they were just random people that tend to look very similar to her. But soon she starts to see bizarre monsters chasing after her or even trying to kill her. She then starts to realize that they are her true blood sister and that she can't survive without them.


With the triplets now reunited, they are faced to embrace what’s going to come in the future. Now knowing that there is a bounty on their head and that the monster will do anything to kill them. The triplet now is faced to see danger in every path they take. 




Another Greek Mythology based book, Yeah!! This book was absolutely amazing!! Who would have ever thought of Medusa having descendent triplets!!? I loved the fact now the sisters have found each other and will now together go and fight to save the world. They all have super powers too. I wish I did! And I bet one time in your life you had thought about having some to? Once I finished reading the book, I quickly had to find out when the second book was coming out. I would rate this book 5/5!

Cicada by Belle Whittington


Blair is a normal girl, enjoying a normal summer, with her normal friends. But something unexpected happened that changed Blair’s and her friends’ life forever. She and her friends have to find a way to protect the “creature”, for their lives are now in danger. They will go to the ultimate sacrifice to make sure that no one but themselves knows. Danger is a condition that they will have to accept, because now there is no turning back. And Blair’s true love life will transform into something that he will not be able to control.  Will they be able to bear it all or will someone break their trust?



This book was out of this world!! Literally. This book is filled with romance, adventure, and revenge. Yeah, the cover title might seem weird (especially because I have bug phobia or Entomaphobia). But once you read the back of the book, it will spark your interest. I love how the front cover has a faded a way sentence saying, " Can you keep a secret". I took it home with me and I read and read and couldn't stop. The ending is sooooooooooo interesting. I can't wait till I get a hold on a copy of the 2nd book, Firefly. I would rate this book 5/5.

Sacrifice always comes with a price. Just to say wow! a book about a very unique topic  that goes beyond my exceptions.  I was instantly hooked by this book. a very acquried taste,but once you start you are bound to get hooked. i loved this unique  subject. The fact that they are ships floating in space is amazing. Oh, and if you into nebula and stuff like that, this book should definitely perk your interest. I would rate this book 3/5.

Everneath by Brodi Ashton


*A place we consider the underworld or even (hell). A place where the immortals and forfeit stride. A destination between our world and the underworld.

Nikki Beckett has been trapped in the Everneath for an entire century. And has been given the chance to become a queen and to live for eternity. But something stops her, an image of a boy.  An image that she is determined to leave her lifeless place to go back and visit the Surface.  There she rejoins her family, friends, and the boy. But Cole the immortal has followed her back to the surface and will try to find any way to bring back the one who he is determined, his queen.  Will she choose the easy way back or will she wait for her last 6 months on the surface before the Underworld take her back, and this time it will be FOREVER? 


This book was amazing. I have always been fascinated by the Greek myths. So if you love the Greek Mythology like I do, this book will definitely be for you. It is a new twist of the Persephone tale, retold in a very unique way. The end is so nice yet so sad; love can go a long way. Love is very powerful. True love is unconditional. I would rate it 5/5.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth


Be Wise, Be Smart, Be Insurgent
Every choice has a consequence. Tris Prior continues with her adventures as she tries to save those she loves- and herself. But war is spreading out quickly. The factions has either a choice of joining together or fend for themselves.   And nothing is looking good at all. Danger is creeping up in every corner. Tris has to make choices that even she will be surprised of making. Situations that correspond to life or death. Secrets will emerge that even Tris can't bear to hear. Transformed by the decisions she makes, and the haunted grief that makes no trustful anymore. Not even Four.  (Shocking!!, right?)   

 


  Veronica Roth did it again! Making yet another intoxicating book that I could not stop reading. The more you read the engrossing it got. With new secrets that made Tris choice even harder to come by. Sacrificing herself to help stop the war. All my friends loved the book and finished it in a day or two. ( An all time record for me!!, Yeah) This is one of those books that you don't want to miss reading AT ALL!! Give it 5/5 ( Second time in a Row, Whoo!)

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book so much. Veronica has so much inspiration in her book. I was glued to the book; I could not put it down at all. I finished the book in just one day, it was that good. The more you read the more intriguing it gets. I would rate this 5/5. One of my favorite books overall.
