I was really liking it up until those last few pages which made me want to throw my kindle across the room and scream in anger and frustration. I figured something dodgy was going on with Brooke and the oldest Royal but not HIM. Nooooo. You evil biatch!! You've kinda gone and broken my heart, too, now Reed.

But i really need to know what happens next with this messed up family so off i go to hunt out book 2.

Huh.

Owen, Owen, Owen...

I enjoyed this one, learning more about Owen's history with Kincaid and how he grew up. What I wasn't so fond of was Salina and her history with him. I swear, if she'd managed to steal him away from Gin I may have stopped reading this series in anger. But all worked out well-ish.

I can't wait to read the next one! And if things don't work out then my last status update stands true.

This was a very goodcoming of age novel that pitted two teenagers not only againsttheir own anger, guilt and depression but also a hurricane. These two strangers reluctantly at first team up to help each other and in the process find themselves again.

Connelly did a good job of setting the scene and showing us what was inside the characters minds. As a reader you got to see them evolve and grow. It created fairly complex characters. It was a quick and enjoyable read.

I received this copy of Gravemaidens from Delacorte Press through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fascinating fantasy with a character who think she's a lot smarter than she really is.

I'm not sure if that's intentional or not so that may not be an actual complaint.

Kammani's bitterness about the society she lives in is justified and her anger provides most of the books fuel.

I really did like this book and I'm excited to see where the second one takes us!

Peter Jackson you beautiful man.
Nothing bad to say, it's a long film but doesn't feel long enough it's that good.
 One little tidbit incase anyone doesn't know, there is a scene where Aragon kicks a helmet in anger. This reaction is actually real, as he kicked it he broke bones! Not only did he injure himself, he kept in character and that take was used in the final cut!

I tried to read Raphael and was instructed to read this book first, so like a good little Bookworm, I did. I understand reading this novella would help me understand the back story and help me sympathize with the Fallen - which I do, as crazy as that sounds, but how can one not after all the things these boys have been through? Though I kind of trudged through it, despite the heartache and anger at their torture, I'm looking forward to seeing what Raphael has in store.
