Elfin (Elfin Series)

Price: $2.99


5.0 out of 5 stars AAHHHHHH I need book 2, January 12, 2013


This book was so awesome!!!! The only thing I hate about it is that I have no clue how long I'll have to wait for book 2 to come out and i want it right now. It's like rapture to me. You'll find out what rapture is in the book. Seriously you have to at least download the free preview and I'm telling you, you'll be hooked before it's over and wind up buying the book. I never write comments on amazon, but i had to let everyone know just how awesome this book is !!!!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read, May 12, 2013


This book was definitely worth the purchase. I'm a relatively slow reader, but I finished this book in about three hours. It's a light read that will teach you a few things about writing in a humorous way, with examples that aren't stretched out to the length of novel. Having had my own work critiqued and not understanding some of the better educated writers comments, this book has helped me to understand some of what these people were saying. For example, I had no idea why one of my beta readers kept saying, "There's an adjective. Kill it!" and "Show not Tell." After reading this amazing informative book with simple rules (I actually made some notes on it in a word .docx)I now understand what the guy was talking about, and I feel confident that I can use these methods to strengthen my work and take away some of the prolonged hassle of editing the next time around. Like I said, definitely worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars AHHHHHHHHHHH Need book three, May 16, 2013


So I literally just read the entire book in a day, and now I want to go back read book 1, because it was just as awesome and then go back and read book 2 again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I really need book three like now. Wish I knew the release date, but I know this one just came out, so I'm guessing 6 months. I can't believe some people gave this book a 1 obviously they wouldn't know a good book if I throw it at their head, or they got ticked off at one of the characters for either their actions or not being able to make up their mind, but hello, think back to when you were the character age, I bet you were indecisive too, but hey a decision is made in the end and you will find out some gruesome details about the king. Man, I hate him more than Celeste. I just want to smack him around. If I were America, I'd probably wind up getting beheaded. Oh my!!!! You have to get this book and the first one, and I just read the whole prince one last night, which was good as well. I kinda wish there was a parallel series with it all in his point of view. He's suddenly become even more interesting, now that I know the horrible things he has to go through. There were points where I wanted to scream at him in this book, but what America does is basically the same, so whatever, but yeah. Amazing read. Buy buy buy!
 
 
There are a few books that are worth having in print. This is one of them,

5.0 out of 5 stars "Yummy!" as Jen whould say. Love it!!!, June 8, 2013


This book is absolutely amazing. It's really captivating and you will instantly be hooked. There's only like one part that doesn't have a lot of action, but within the next chapter or so, you won't be able to put it down again. Once I got done with the first one, I read straight through the next three within 2 or 3 days, because I was eating, sleeping, and breathing it. I'd even read it on the toilet. Probably not the best idea, because people will wonder why it took you an hour to go pee. Really, the book is a must have along with the rest of the series. Jen is hilarious,jacque is smart and strong, sally is sweet, decebel... mouth watering, just you wait to book three. It's all innocent, but it'll arouse you as well as fifty shades of grey. I'm on book 5 and thing just keep getting better, Costin is so dreamy. :)
 

Damaged (Volume 1)



Damaged (Volume 1)


Price: $4.99



5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I ignored the bad reviews! This book is Amazing! Gripping! Original!, June 29, 2013


Though the concept of teacher/student relationships is often seen in books and television shows, such as Pretty Little Liars, this series approaches it in a slightly different way. Is anything that they do really wrong? Though they are innocent as far as actions go, their feelings for each other put their futures at risk. He could lose his job as a professor and she could lose her scholarship money. That's not the only thing that stands in the way of them being able to give into the their deepest desires. They both have a rocky past; they're both damaged. But are they each others solution to healing from that past? And, what happens when your past hunts you down -literally?

I am no doubt a slow reader and I bought this book only last night, and have already finished it and book. This are 350+ page books, so that is no short stride. They were just so good that I couldn't put them down. I got this one around 8 or 9pm and read straight through until 7 in the morning, because I wasn't willing to sleep before finishing the book. Lucky for me, book 2 (Damaged 2) was already out, so I got it this morning, and by 8 tonight i as done.

Book 1 I liked slightly more than book 2, but they were both amazing. The sexual tension was amazing even when they weren't touching. I just wanna to grab my husband and make-out with him to relieve it.Book 2 didn't have quite as much tension, but was very original and interesting, and contained some very intense moments were you may just wanna kill somebody.

I'm so glad that I ignored all of those 1 star reviews that almost turned me away, because I would have missed out of this really amazing series. I don't think there will be a book 3 but if there is, I will be buying it. And the authors style of writing is enough to make me wanna check out some of her other book. So buy it, because I highly doubt you will regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Made me melt at the end, March 22, 2014


Okay, so in the beginning I felt the story needed a lot of work. There were missing words, horrible grammar, and it extremely unrealistic and rushed. I wasn't used to the whole calling out the audience thing. My best advice to the author: GET A BETA READER!!!!! (Please join goodreads. Here's the link to the group I manage and our beta's are free [...] You have the talent, but you need to read through this again, more than once.)

The mistakes were easy to avoid. I've never been good with grammar, but these mistake were ones that a simple read through would have fixed and it seemed like the author hadn't took the time to read through it even once.

Despite all of this, I couldn't stop reading. I was being a grammar nazi, but I was captivated. I have no idea why, but I was. Perhaps I wanted to make it to the foretold kiss.

The last 30% of the book was amazing and the end made me melt. Like that feeling when you're first falling in love, or you have a really big crush on someone and they tell you they like you too. Oh yeah, got the chills. LOVVVVVVVVEEEEDDDDDD the kiss. UGHHHH the lead up was good. I kept looking at the progress bar both hoping it would move and not move, because I wanted more, but I also wanted to hurry and get to the kiss. I want to see more with these characters. Arren is HOTTTTT! Quiet mysterious guy who plays the cello. Ugh!! I almost gave this book a 4 for the last 30% but I didn't think that would be very fair. In some people's opinion, a 3 is too generous, but like I said, despite all of the things wrong with this book, it had enough going for it that I not only finished it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted more.
 
The pacing was fairly good for the length. I liked the characters and the karaoke scenes. I loved Arren's dialogue, especially right before the kiss. UGH I was so melting.

Spearwood Academy-Episode Eight (The Spearwood Academy Series)

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome the the loony bin, May 22, 2014


Ahhhhhhhhh. This episode reminded me of "Harrison Bergeron" also known as "Humbugs" by Kurt Vonnegut, particularly toward the end. Their is some similar funny business going on and it you have read the short story my Vonnegut, then you can only imagine what I mean by funny business.

So, Oren left us at yet another cliff hanger in episode 7. Avvi has just found out the Edgar is dead. Why hasn't the school told her? She wants answers and desperately wants Perlow to give them to her, but instead of him, she gets Roseman. I never had any sort of emotion attached to him prior to this episode, but now I do. SICK-OLD-MAN! Does he do anything sick? No, but just the words he says are gross!

Perlow does show up, but not for the reasons Avvi wants. Yet again she is put at the mercy of those she thought she could trust and is betrayed.

Roseman has a solution for Avvi's pain resulting from the loss of the man she called dad, Think about what Damon from Vampire Diaries does to Elana after her brother dies mixed with Peta from the Hunger Games being brain washed and there you have it.

Though the events are heart breaking to Avvi, the reader get's to enjoy the ride down "memory" lane. I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDD the beach scene. UMM UMMM Triton!!!!!!!! The scene at the dinner table 9had me teary eyed and the tears started flowing when Paden showed up and delivered the best line ever. Think Princess Diaries 2.

This episode has an equal mix of heart wrenching mental torture and comic moments. I particularly enjoyed the fruit jokes, though it was more dark humor than anything.

In short, buy this episode, it actually made me cry it was so good.
