Review On Arise - And Joshua Mayhew

Here's the second book to the Hereafter Trilogy...

You cannot believe how awesome it is. 

First off, the best thing about this book is that, it's no love triangle. Joshua is in love with Amelia, and she with him. The only problem is that, she's a ghost. He's a Seer, and having triggered the near-death experience, he could see her clearly. She'd saved him from drowning in the same river she had (due to an evil ghost Eli's doing). Sure they can touch. There's always that spark, tingling sensation whenever the living skin and the dead skin made contact. Of course they weren't really happy, because Amelia cannot kiss Joshua for more than ten minutes before she'd disappear, a regular thing that happens even Joshua understood. 

In this second book, though, Eli came back to warn Amelia about the demons that wanted her. He also said about what the demons would do until she chooses them, that means hurting the people she cares about. Which means Joshua and the Mayhews. Thinking this, Amelia ran. Of course it's more complicated than that. You'd have to read it to know. I suggest you do. 

But OMG. It's awesome. I just love how when Josh's all nervous, he's run his fingers through his hair before resting them at the nape of his neck. It's so cute. And his midnight blue eyes. Can you imagine that? CAN YOU?!?! I bet not. Oh, Joshua Mayhew.. Be mine. 

Seriously, though. I can't wait for the third book, Elegy, which sadly will be out next year. That's too long, but I'll wait. Just like I'll wait for Amy Plum's If I Should Die. 

By the way, this Saturday. I am -so- going to get this book ~ Darkness Before Dawn.

Ta-Da!!! 


I cannot wait for it. Saturday. I will get you, Victor. I will. And you, too, Dawn Montgomery. I effing will.

SO MANY MORE BOOKS TO READ!!

I can't. There's too many and I want them ALL.

So I just recently followed this reader's blog that was all about YA Fictions. Oh my God. Look at the list of the books they have!! Like, wow. Can I have all of them? I really want to read these books. They're just so amazingly good, and they pull me in like completely. I'm wanting to read Destiny by Laura DeLuca and Darkness Before Dawn by J.A London. 

One of the things I really love about reading is that I can go along with the adventure and kind of experience all of those shit (and also many of those 'oh my Gosh' moments where the guys are being oh so romantic) that the characters are going through. I can cry, laugh, get angry and be pissed off along with them. And to me it's a good way for me to let everything out. Although most of the time after I finished reading a book or a series, I usually cry more than smile. It was usually when everything sets on me that reality sinks. Those are just fictions. And my emotions go to the people and characters in that particular book.

Plus, I love reading because I get to imagine scenes of Miley C and Edward (OMG, right?) that can never be possible in real life. Most of the time I have Miley as the FC (face-claim) female lead and Edward for the male lead. And whenever they described a character as buff, tough, sexy, I pictured Kellan Lutz (totally drool-worthy) and goofy and cute goes to Douglas Booth or sometimes Andrew Garfield. Blonde bitch always goes to blonde Nikki Reed. And female geeks normally for Demi and Selena or some others. I like to imagine when I read a story, or else I won't be able to understand at all. 

Imagining Edward and Miley totally helped me understanding the story line. And I love them together sometimes I wish Miley and RPattz could like meet and fall in love or at least work in a movie together. Miley once thought RPattz was cute. So that was something, wasn't it?

My heart broke with RPattz's after Kristen kinda cheated on him. So he loves that girl; rumor has it that he was gonna propose by the end of summer. No offence, if RPattz was to choose to take her back or let her go? I think he should just let her go. I mean, who knows she might do it again? I hope she won't. I hope this taught her a lesson. She is young after all. People make mistakes, don't we? Especially when we're younger and not that experienced in life. I don't 100% blame Kristen. Not really.

Besides, I am happy for Miley on her engagement with Liam. I mean, congrats. 

But I also can't help that I fantasize Miley and Rob together, right? It's not like I can do anything. I'm a girl from Singapore and I have this very thin chance of meeting either of them at all. But I do hope I get to one day. It'll be one of my goals/missions accomplished. 

Anyway. I know it's only 8pm. But I have to go. And I'll be gone for a few days til I get my internet back. And I'll be reading The Savage Grace later on. 

Ciao. With love. Xoxo.

My Storyline

My Two-Year Old Storyline..

To me this is totally cool, really.

So I've had this on-going story-line in mind for almost two years now. Imagining Edward Cullen (I prefer the pale and clean-shaven RPattz) as Lord Vengeance, creator of all the Greek Gods and Goddesses (Cool, right? I know.) And then there's Miley Cyrus, playing Goddess Of Love Aphrodite. Now these two fell in love but their relationship was forbidden due to whatever rule Lord V had set up for his creations before he created them. It was against it, their relationship. So, keeping his pride, Lord V fled. Like, totally ran away from all of them and hid in his realm. 

Of course he realised he couldn't go a day without her. So, thinking that he could be with her in another life, Lord V sort of put a spell (or something) on them. She kept dying at age twenty-one, though, after being reincarnated over and over. But I'm making them soulmates. He really loves her, and she does him, only she thought she doesn't. Life after life, he searched for her. Sometimes too late, sometimes too early. At some point during the 1700s, (he adopted a permanent name Edward), he was almost regretting the fact that they sort of cursed like this. Almost. But he thought it was worth it. But sometimes it just hurt too much because in some lives, Miley already found someone else; someone she thought she loves, which she does but not as much as she does Edward. 

Edward, though, wasn't much of a good-doer. He has a lot of female companions (of course; he's that gorgeous) and at some points of his lives, he'd fall in love with other reincarnated Goddesses, but they would always remind him of his love for Aphrodite, which sent him searching all over again. In 2008, modern day already, Edward as the vampire born in 1901, had been searching for her over a hundred years. He finally found her that year. Famous Disney star; and like always, love at first sight.

Whoa.. Wait. Should I be plotting this and writing it for my first ever book?

OMG. Why did I never think of this?! 

Ciao. Xoxo.

Uncontrollable Emotions

I REALLY CAN'T..

I can't control my emotions. 

Firstly, let me just say I love Until I Die by Amy Plum. I love absolutely everything about it. Almost every one of Kate and Vincent scenes get me turning into a 'gooey mess'. I love these two put together. It's the perfect imperfection. Although I'm actually quite upset that Until I Die ended with the suspicion that Vincent may be dead, I'm hoping he really didn't. And I'm waiting for the rumored last book called If I Should Die. Which will be out next May. That seems like forever away. Anyways, I'd very much like to congratulate Amy Plum for such a good series.
Not only Amy Plum, though. Lauren Kate did a really good job for The Fallen Books series. I've been waiting for the last installment since last year and I finally managed to read it. RAPTURE was amazing; beautifully written, expressed with such emotions that I really can feel. While I love that Daniel and Luce finally manage to be happy together without Luce having to die over and over again, I don't like that they gave up all the memories of hardship, their angel friends, and being ANGELS themselves, for LOVE. But it was at the same time really amazing. It got me to tears too.

I'm now reading the last book for The Dark Divine trilogy. I hope this time the characters, Daniel Kalbi and Grace Divine, get to have a similar happy ending like Daniel and Lucinda get in Rapture. The Savage Grace has a good book cover, and I hope it won't disappoint me. Daniel Kalbi is recently stuck in his white wolf form because he saved Gracie's life. And he has to turn back, right? He has to.

For the past week, I've read good books. Namely, The Thing About The Truth by Lauren Barnholdt. It's good. Taught me that truth will always find its way out. I've also read Sarah Dessen's What Happened To Goodbye, and Lock & Key. Her books are always relatable. And I love every one of her books, except maybe That Summer, my least favorite.

So far, all the books I've read did not disappoint. Except, of course, for the Soul Screamers series. After for like, 4 or 5 books being in love with Nash, the female lead (forgot her name. Was it Kaylee? I think.) lastly fell for Nash's brother Tod instead. That pissed me off real bad because Tod had been my least favorite character of all the books I've ever read. There are always some background characters that I love. Like Jules and Ambrose from Until I Die. Or Talbot and April from The Dark Divine.

I hate Tod. Period.

Plus, I read the ninth book of The House Of Night series called Destined. I fell in love with Aphrodite Lafont all over again. I pictured blonde Nikki Reed playing her. Perfection. I'm waiting for the tenth book (hopefully the last). And I also finally caught up with Hush Hush's third book Silence. Patch and Nora. Nora and Patch. Epic. I'm waiting (always waiting) for the final installment which will be named Finale and launched probably this October.

Can't wait!! More books please.

P.S: I'm gonna read the sequel to Haven (I've searched for this book for weeks) and am I glad I found it? Hell yes I am. It's called Mirage. I hope Aidan and Violet stays together. And I'm guessing there'll be a third book. Hopefully.

Enough for now then. Until next time.

xoxo.
