Wicked King (book 2 in Folk Of Air trilogy) by: Holly Black

-

     I'm not going to go into depth with my review on this one because I loved it just as much as the first, I recommend reading that review first. I would also do more but I'm very busy today and I've put these reviews off for way too long. 

Summary:

    Jude has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were biddable. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undiminished. 

    When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a faerie world. 

Quote from this book, even though I haven't experienced love and don't plan to any time soon, I really like this quote; 

"I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear. Your heart beats fast. Your heart beats fast. Your senses are heightened. You grow light-headed, maybe even dizzy. Is that Right?"

            This book was amazing and it is one of my all time favorites, I've read it twice now and look forward to reading it again in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                           ...

Carry On by: Rainbow Rowell

      I love this book so much!!! I was actually ranting to a few of my friends about it throughout the whole thing and think I annoyed them quite a bit. I did find it slightly predictable but after awhile of reading untrustworthy books I guess you just get that way. I think this may be one of my new favorite books, as I finished all 517 pages in one day. Please don't call me lazy, I already know I am, but as I start school in January I am trying to read as much as possible as fast as possible. There is a second to this and I'm going to start it after finishing this post, but I am fifty percent sure that Carry On can be read as a stand-alone, but I being me want to soak up as much of the characters as I can.  Summary:      Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who's ever been chosen.         That's what his roommate, Baz, says. and Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.     Half the time,...

Torn Away by Jennifer Brown

      I read this book for my English class and about broke down in tears in the middle of class, and you wanna know the best thing about is? I sit in the very front of the class. I love that teachers class though she was meant to be a teacher. I really liked this book and might read more by Jennifer Brown in the future. This book brings us through being lost or losing yourself.      Summary:    Jersey Cameron has always loved a good storm. Watching the clouds roll in and the wind pick up. Smelling the electricity in the air. Dancing barefoot in the rain. She lives in the Midwest, after all, where the weather is sure to keep you guessing. Jersey knows what to do when the tornado sirens sound. But she never could have prepared for this. When her town is devastated by a tornado, Jersey loses everything. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she's sent to live with relatives she hardly knows-family who might as well be strangers. In an unfamil...
