Going into this series, I just wanted to know what all the hype was about. I didn't realize how much I would love it. I read both books in 2 days, and I marathon-ed them. They were amazing. It had an okay plot, but that's not what captivated me.
What I really loved was : First, the details were quite intriguing. Second, the character development was amazing, and third the romance was there but it was realistic especially in the dystopian society that the author drew up. I fell in love with Tris and Four, they are the cutest couple. They complement each other, and they have a chemistry that draws you in. Tris's character developed more than any in the book. Going from calm collected and somewhat shy to confident almost leader of the brave is quite a change, that I'm jealous of.
Another thing I really enjoyed , was the twists and turns of the plot. It had you guessing and it made me want to read more to find out . I am so psyched for the third, its crazy. The end of the second book was mind blowing.

Perfect Chemistry
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Well, im not really into chick lit. Although I have to admit , when a book is excellent. The character development was phenomenal. The deep insight into the main characters was extremely real and made my heart ache with each word. The story line wasn't too interesting: star crossed lovers. I didn't think i would enjoy it , especially because in the beginning it was slow paced and didn't catch my attention. About 50 pages in, is where all the juicy parts came. In the book, Alex and Brittany have so much love for each other is crazy and makes you fall in love with how their relationship is. Its not superficial, its completely real.
Lets just say when the "bet" came up, I was hooked. I completely enjoyed this book, and although the next books in the series wont be about Alex and Brittany( the star crossed lovers) , im excited to see what happens with Alex's younger brothers.
One of the best parts of this interesting novel, is that its not all about love and the relationship. Its mostly about the hardships they both face even though they are from different worlds, and how judging a person you can't see the truth behind their facade. People aren't always what they appear to be, in good and bad ways.

OMG . I literally had every emotion in this book, I was being loud and everyone thought I was crazy but I didn't care . This book had a pretty interesting plot that really draws you in . The idea of being able to see both paths, so decision is effortless ( or so it seemed). The character development gets better and better . I felt connected to this book. I'm in love with the book and I felt like it was real. which in my opinion makes a book good. I was afraid I would be confused with it going back and forth but it just made it go quicker and keep me on edge until the very last page. AWESOME :-) so adorable and I am dying to read the second book . :-)

The Darkest Minds
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Well this book wasn't that much of a shocker, because of all the hype that has been going around. OMG this book was incredible though . I almost didn't pick it up because I was getting bored of the dystopian books but this one was A M A Z I N G. I loved the characters of chubs Liam ruby and even Clancy . It's not fair I have to wait , because the ending broke my heart . I was so invested in ruby that I feel like I was there . Great plot , great character development, just GREAT . Def on my favorites :-)
I enjoyed every aspect of this novel, starting with all the different powers of the children to the mere concept of what the world around the children was like ( what the adults were facing). It was dystopian but it was real life , which scared me even more. An incredible story line with romance, really sealed the deal and now im so hyped up for the second novel, where all the good stuff is yet to come.

Anna and the French Kiss
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
OMG....saying I loved this book is a bit of a understatement. I fell in love, it was so awesome. The writing was so sweet, along with the plot itself. The characters got to me, I was rooting for Anna and Etienne ( which by the way I cant pronounce if my life depended on it ) . They were such awesome friends and even better partners. I loved the little plots including the dramas and the arguments. It had funny , serious, cute, sexy, and all in between. I am in love with this book. Although the characters weren't perfect, which is great because it made it feel even more real, the book itself was perfect.
I want to rate it more than 5 stars! It broke my heart , when the book was over. I needed it to continue, i loved it so much. This book is pure happiness and pure love. It is incredible , just incredible. Once I finished this book I just looked at my ceiling in giggles, and I was in pure bliss.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series
Rating: 3 out of 5 ( as a whole series)
So I decided that I would wait to do a review , after I finished the whole series. And It took some time but here it is. As a whole I thoroughly enjoyed it . Now here is a book by book analysis of my opinions.
The Lightning Thief-
I absolutely LOVED this book. It possessed great characters, adventure, and tons of excitement. I really enjoyed the read even though it is considered a child's novel. I loved the relationships between the Gods and the children. The book introduced me to alot of mythology that I didn't realize intrigued me. An excellent beginning to a interesting series.
The Sea Of Monsters-
This book was even better than the first, who knew that could happen. I fell in love with the characters even more than I thought I could. The characters are developing as the story goes on, which I appreciate as a avid reader. Now the ending was crazy and had me on my toes, I was dying to read the third book.
The Titans Curse-
Okay i'm not sure if it was just me, but this book fell flat. It was boring and lifeless, plot was extremely over done and i did not enjoy it . It took me forever and a half to finish it and It didn't pick up until the ending scene. I wish i could have skipped over this book .
The Battle of the Labyrinth-
Now back to the good stuff, than goodness. This book was the best so far , that's for sure. This story line has many different aspects, that one doesn't expect which kept me on my toes. I love that in a book. The characters that we meet are fascinating and you get a chance to see the Gods in a new light.
The Last Olympian-
Awesome ending to a pretty good series, except for the titans curse ;)
I found out who the last Olympian is and she has been there through out the series, except you just never notice her. An amazing ending, that really surprises you. The hero isn't who you expect but its who you wanted it to be. This book had incredibly action, romance, and friendship. It was the total package and gave way into the new generation of demi gods, which I'm assuming is where the spin of series comes into play.
Incredible series, im very impressed. I can't wait to read the spin of series. I enjoyed the characters and the plots that implode your mind to the point where you want the world to be real. The writing style is a little child like but not so much that you feel stupid reading ( other than the 3rd book that is ).

The Fault In Our Stars
Rating : 5 out of 5 stars
This was such an inspiring and touching novel, i was thoroughly impressed. It was almost magical, but in a real life setting. All i can say is what an amazing book . It made me sad because the ending was messed up but realistic. This book had amazing characters and an interesting plot. It was a love story with terminally ill teenagers yet spoke to me on many levels. Loved it :-) would re read over and over :-) the writing style was incredible too . I have to admit, the writing was top notch. It was poetic and used such high level words, I was reading with a dictionary at my side. It made me a better reader, which in turn made me a better writer. If i ever wanted to write a novel, that book was the inspirational book I would pick up.

Wintergirls
Rating : 3.5 out of 5 stars
This was a great book I have to admit . It started out extremely boring and I almost put it down , without any intention of ever picking it back up again. Thank GOD i didn't because the last 100 pages or so , were incredible. Who Knew???
It got pretty deep and a little too dark for me but towards the end it made me cry in happy tears. Great characters and love throughout . There wasn't that much character development, except in the last scene you saw alot of change in the main character. Very inspiring book and the writing was very poetic :-)
This is one of those rare books I would reread when I feel insecure about my body. Only then, because I don't like re reading a book.

UnWholly ( Unwind #2)
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Well, let me start out by saying I had no idea that there was a sequel to the book Unwind and boy am i happy i found it. I fell in love with the first book Unwind but this one is even better. I loved the characters, they were real deep characters the good and bad. I felt really sucked into the story like I was participating , which is the sign of a GREAT novel. The ending tho.....leaves u wanting more. I can not wait for the end book. I'm putting my expectations high so hopefully i wont be disappointed :)
Now another thing I want to mention, this is a great novel to begin with when looking at dystopian novels without being too much like the hunger games.I love when a book gets my emotions all crazy and I start talking to the book, especially when my heart beats so fast I feel like I am in the novel witnessing all the events . So excellent book, excellent.

Letting Ana Go
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
So this is my first book i have read in July, and I have to say it was a pretty good book. It was a good book to start out with, but it had its downfalls. It was very emotional but had a lot of dark spots. It didn't have the best dialogue and writing style. Although I did enjoy the characters and the development was okay. It needed to be longer in my opinion, but it was very well organized I have to admit.
