Blood of Eden Series by Julie Kagawa

The Forever Song (Blood of Eden, #3)The Forever Song by Julie Kagawa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*Be Aware: This review has many spoilers*

This book was AMAZING. It was a wonderful end of the series, and it was written beautifully. This book was written in a way that just captures your mind. I can't even describe how powerful it was. It was a very sad book, but amazing still altogether. The characters:
Allison~ I loved how she was going to do anything to get Zeke back and that was very romantic. She is a nice person, no matter what "monster" she believes she is. Overall, she's my favourite character, which is different than normal: I usually like minor characters, but Allison is by far my favourite of all my favourite series. Braveness is a very powerful trait to have, and I admire that in her. Even though she craved blood, she still fought back at her nature of being a vampire to not hurt anyone.
Zeke~ He is a very positive person, and if he were alive, and not in a book, I'd love to meet him. His relationship with Allison was heartbreaking at points, and I'm extremely glad that they worked it out in the end when he became a vampire. I'm glad he didn't die, since when I read that part, I was stricken with grief. I like that he was a very compassionate person even though the things he faced.
This book has a powerful effect, and if you haven't read this, I recommend you do so, especially if you're looking for a series with romance and action.

This is my favourite excerpt from the book:
“Back in that lab with Sarren. I wanted to die. What’s keeping me here, Allison? Why should I stay?”
“Because I love you, you idiot!”

Opal: Lux by Jennifer L Armentrout

Opal (Lux, #3)
Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don't even know what to say: this book was AWESOME!!!
I LOVED it!!!! I really liked the characters Katy and Daemon (*Sigh* Daemon...), though I didn't like the "new" Dee or Carissa. I especially DESPISE Blake, for what he did. I couldn't believe that HE, of all people would do something as horrible as what he did (I'm trying not to give any spoilers).
I also liked that there was more romance between Katy and Daemon! ♥!!
Though, I loved this book, I WAS NOT READY FOR THE ENDING.
I'm still kind of in shock... I really hate cliff-hangers, and I'm itching to get my hands on the next the next book.
It's just so... WOW. ;)
Also, if you know me, I'm in love with Jennifer L Armentrout's writing and this book is one of my favs, and I'd recommend this series first, out of all my recommendations!

Delirium Series

Pandemonium (Delirium, #2)Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVE this book, as well as Delirium, but only dislike 4 things about it (most of them are just minor things):
1.) The HORRIBLE cliff-hanger at the end
2.) One word/name: Julian. Why? Why? Why? This also goes with the cliff-hanger at the end of the book, but WHY DID LENA FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM??? I'm sooo excited to see what happens with Lena, Alex, and Julian in the 3rd book when I get it!!!
3.) If you know me, then you hate love triangles and I'm have a bad feeling about the love triangle between Lena, Alex, and Julian.
4.) Blue dies. Although Lena wan't that close to her, I was still very sad when she died
Otherwise, the book was amazing. I'm really enjoying reading this series, and Lauren Oliver hasn't failed to impress me once. I'm excited to read Requiem and I hope the Delirium series has a happy ending! ;)

The Last Olympian

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

AMAZING book! It was a great ending to the Percy Jackson series (though technically, the Heroes of Olympus is also considered the Percy Jackson series too). I LOVED the underwater kiss with Percabeth (Percy and Annabeth)! It's SOOO romantic!!! I've read the entire Percy Jackson series including the Heroes of Olympus series as well, and Rick Riordan has not once disappointed me with his writing and I'm loving his books! My favourite part was the underwater kiss!!!!! Percabeth forever! <3

Sweet Evil Series by Wendy Higgins

Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1)Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm in love with this series and I can't wait to get the third book, Sweet Reckoning. I loved every minute of reading this and I'm in love with Kai. I don't enjoy most books written on angels but this book was written beautifully. I also like how original this book is and liked the action packed plot! Originally, I came across this book by accident three times. The first two times, I didn't want to read it. After the third time, I decided to read it since I had nothing else to read. Now, looking back, I regret not reading this book the first time, as it's AMAZING! :D

Immortals Series by Alyson Noel

Evermore (The Immortals, #1)Evermore by Alyson Noel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series was so amazing and it's almost flawless! I feel like Alyson Noel took some of my favourite books and combined them together. I really liked Ever, and her relationship with Damen (Damen is my new book boyfriend). I also feel kind of bad for Jude since Ever chose Damen over him, although, if I were Ever, I would've chosen Damen as well. I think Jude is a really good guy and he's always trying to help, so I'm glad that he started to get over Ever at the end of the series. I really liked the idea that ALyson Noel wrote about: immortality. I haven't read a lot of books that were good about immortality so this series just blew my mind :D

Mediator Series by Meg Cabot (my fav author)

Twilight (The Mediator, #6)Twilight by Meg Cabot
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is one of my ultimate favourites. If you know me, you'd know that I LOVE Meg Cabot's writing. IN this series, this book is my favourite so far. I'm really excited to read the next and last book when it comes out. I liked the characters a lot, especially Suze and Jesse. Suze is a bit reckless whereas Jesse isn't and is always stopping her from trouble. I think that they're the perfect match, and I'll be disappointed of they don't stay together. I thought that Suze and Jesse never had a chance at dating since Jesse was a ghost, but I rejoiced at the end when he became human again. When I thought Jesse was dead at the hospital, I got really upset, though don't panic: he's not dead. I really like Meg Cabot's way of writing this series and I highly recommend reading any of her books! :D

Graceling Series!

Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1)Graceling by Kristin Cashore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I Finished The Book
I liked this book. I have honestly reread this book two times and I plan on reading it more.
I really liked the plot, characters, and almost everything about it. Graceling is just one of those books that you can't put down until you finish it, and it leaves you wanting more.
I absolutely loved the fun characters and the romance between Po and Katsa. ♥♥♥!!!
What I think most of this book is that it's one of the books that has SO much power over you because of it's just that good.
It's one of the books that's so amazing, that words can't describe how GOOD it is.
I think the only thing that made me rate this book 4-stars, not 5, is because Po is blind. I was absolutely devastated when I found that out.
Other than the fact that I'm really excited to read more of this series, that's pretty much all I have to say :D
When I Finished The Series
The series is one of my favourites, and I'll have to say that Fire (the second book) is my favourite. I wan't that impressed with Bitterblue (the third book), though it was still pretty good.

Legend Series

Legend (Legend, #1)Legend by Marie Lu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked how June and Day fall in love but in the second book, I HATE that there's a love triangle. Although there's a love triangle which I hate, the series was still amazing. I also like how the book is written from 2 points of views: June and Day. I really don't have anything to say about this book since it's almost perfect. I haven't read lots of series with love triangles that were really good, but this book blew my mind! This series is one of my favourites and I highly recommend it!

Sentinel by Jennifer L Armentrout


Sentinel (Covenant, #5)Sentinel by Jennifer L. Armentrout

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED this book! I can't even describe how much I loved it!
I liked how the book had a happy ending, therefore, the series has a happy ending. Some of the other series that I've read ended with a sad ending which TOTALLY ruined the series for me. :( I also like how at the end of this book, the character I didn't like before, turned out to be good! *cough cough Seth cough* My ultimate favourite part of the book was the very end when Alex and Aiden can spend their ENTIRE lives together since Seth traded places with Aiden to work for Hades!!!! <3  It's sooo romantic!!! That's also part of the reason I'm in love with Seth... I really liked how Jennifer wrote the characters and in my personal preference, this book was the best in the series. I'm really looking forward to reading more of Jennifer L Armentrout's books! :D is already one of my favourite authors, and in my opinion, if you haven't read at least one of her books, you haven't lived. :) SO if you're reading this review, do me a favour and read one of her books to see for yourself! :D
