Review of #51 You Are Mine by Janeal Falor

First of all, I love the cover.

It is utterly beautiful! I just wanna say thanks to Janeal Falor because she wanted me to review her book and I gotta say...its AWESOME!

When I first read the synopsis, I felt it was kinda corny at first. So, I decided to read the review copy on my phone (since I don't have an ebook reader, which I wanna!).

So there I was, squinting into the small screen of my Samsung S2, reading every single page with my breath held. A sudden thought struck me and that's when I knew, this story is truly a work of art.

I was confused at the beginning but as I read more, I fell in love with the character's world. It isn't beautiful or anything but it was definitely a different world where women are basically used for breeding. If your blood has a great, immense power of magic, your dad will sell you to the highest bidder. I fell in love with that world not because I have a sick sense of humor but because that world really compliments the whole story and it intersects itself with every character in the book.

I love the writing style and really felt sorry for the main character, Serena because she was abused.

But in the end, I really I was really happy for her because she fell in love with a man.

The community in You Are Mine are really different from ours. Women are treated like crap, they have no say in anything and men are such a-holes. However, I love how Serena fell in love with the man who owned her because he is not like the others and he treats her with respect.

I would love to tell you how she came to be owned by that man but it'll be a spoiler. XD

I really love how the story turned out and I can't wait for book 2!

Sincerely,

Selina.

 

Review of #50 Enigma Black by Sara Furlong Burr

Enigma Black is a fast, heart pounding story.

It started out nice and easy but in the end, it was explosive!

A truly great read. I am so glad that I passed up the opportunity of a movie night for a book night. :D

There's elements of political struggle, conspiracy theories about the government, romance and death.

I really got attached to the main character, Celaine because she has been through a lot. I really admire her strong character and you have no choice but to feel her pain and feel concern towards her actions.

If you love science fiction and romance, this book is what you want. However, keep in mind that this is book 1 and the ending is really really killing me.

The suspense in the book is utterly perfect and the characters complimented each other.
In conclusion, 5 stars!

Sincerely,
Selina.  

Review of #47, #48 and #49 (The Starlet Series) by Carla J. Hanna

When I first read the synopsis of The Starlet Series (Starlet's Web, Starlet's Run and Starlet's Light), it sounds really really interesting. This is because it is my first time to stumble on books on a celebrity's life, especially one who is becoming an adult.

When I started with #47 Starlet's Web, I love the starting. However, as I continued reading, I find that the writing style has changed and there's no...whatchamacallit 'Oomph' in the story.

I love the characters but I find the main character very whiny. It seems like the whole story is being deliberately lengthen. So, yeah... I kinda got bored in the middle.

The good thing about Starlet's Web is I got to experience the 'celebrity lifestyle' which I have absolutely no idea whether its true or not. Other than that, its okay.

After finishing book 1, I did not feel satisfied with the ending so I decided to give another try by reading book 2, Starlet's Run.

Apparently, book 2 can be read as a stand alone series but I find it ridiculous.
There's a lot of elements in book 2 which are really connected to book 1.

The main character is still being whiny and there's a lot of jealousy going on.

The main highlight of Starlet's Run is when the main character has cancer due to a 'special' drug that her mom gave her. I know it sounds terrible when I said it like that but you gotta read the story to find out the whole story. I don't wanna put it here because they are spoilers. =)

Anyways, I find Book 2 to be Slightly better than book 1. However, I still find the book kinda boring. (Sorry Carla! I love the theme, covers and all but I believe with better editing, it'll be a great read!)


Since I've finished Book 2, I was thinking, "What the heck." and proceeded to read Book 3 (Starlet's Light) because I got this book for an honest review.

And I gotta say, Book 3 is so much better than the previous books.
Because, its FANTASTIC.
I'm so glad I endured book 1 and 2 because this reminds me of life.
Life is torturous (I'm not talking about the book!) but in the end, its super beautiful you just want to live over and over again.

I love the twist in book 3 and I gotta say, its a damn surprise.

Sincerely,
Selina.  

Review of #46 Wish You Were Here by Catherine Chant

This is the best book I've read in the month of July.

Wish You Were Here is a book where you can't stop reading, your heart pounds in time with the characters in the book, the writing style just drags you into the story and in the end, you can't help but fall in love with the book.

I love the time travelling theme in the story and the beautiful love story between Callie and Joey Tempo.

When I said "love story", I meant there's a lot of pain, anguish, slight jealousy and the ups and downs of a relationship. The way Catherine Chant wrote the story really really really pulls me in and made me feel whatever the main character is feeling.

For me, that is one of the few elements of a really awesome book.

The story is unforgettable and the characters are likable. 

When I first read the synopsis, I was immediately pulled in because of the words, 

"She's out of place. He's out of time.". 

That was like, the one of the best lines I've ever read.

At first, I thought the book was similar to the 'Time Traveler's Wife' but I really got a sweet surprise.

Its completely different. Well, that's what I thought.

If you ever get your hands on this book, trust me, you HAVE to get it. 

For me, a good book is when the story is able to drag you in, scramble up all your emotions, and letting your heart ache in pain when you've reached the ending.

Seriously, go and get it. I really really really REALLY want the paperback version of Wish You Were Here. If I DO get it, I'll put it up on my FAVOURITE BOOK SHRINE (which is my bookcase) :)

Sincerely,

Selina.

 

Review of #43 Stranded Love a.k.a. Tender Moments by Massimo Marino

Massimo Marino is fantastic!

Stranded Love a.k.a. Tender Moments are filled with really really short stories.

But, they are seriously creepy.
The stories are fascinating because they are not connected yet somehow the connection is there within the stories.

I love love love the writing style. The whole story is just plain creepy. But it's good.

It is Creepy-Good. :D

Sincerely,
Selina.  

Review of #44 The Samantha Project (#1) by Stephanie Karpinske

The Samantha Project is fantastic!
When I first read it (I had the old copy, not the updated version), it was kinda slow at first but the story grows into a humongous tree and starts fruiting awesome storyline, characters and suspense.

I love how the main character, Samantha, slowly develops into a great character.
The storyline is similar to some books yet it is slightly different from the others.

I love the plots and the twist, the dashes of romance in between, the blend of human emotions that is unpredictable and great characters.

Not only that, the science fiction background absolutely complements the story.
Plus, the bad guys who wants Samantha and her love interest is really awful and terrible, makes this book a killer.

Sincerely,
Selina.
