Soundless by Richelle Mead

Summary






















Here is a link to the Goodreads page for the summary of Soundless https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24751478-soundless?from_search=true&search_version=service

My Review


















First of all thank you so much to Penguin Random House Children's Publishing for my early copy of Soundless by Richelle Mead. 

I'm a huge fan of Richelle Mead's books I loved The Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series, I've also read her Georgina Kincaid series which is also a fun series to read. I meet Richelle Mead at a book signing when she did her UK tour in 2010 it was so lovely meeting her, she's one of my best author's ever I think she's amazing and I will read anything she write/publish. 


I  really enjoyed Soundless I thought the book was really unique, I loved that it was based on Chinese Folklore. I thought it was interesting how the characters were deaf and so therefore sign language was a big part of the book thats what I loved the most about the book.  Richelle Mead writing is spectacular as always. Soundless is a fantasy standalone novel, this book is really fast paced I read it in two days. My only complaint about this book was that it was too short and the character building wasn't great, and there was instant love but that didn't bother me as much. The ending was a bit rushed, but liked I said it's a very unique/fast paced read and if you're a Richelle Mead fan like I am I would definitely recommend Soundless.My rating for Soundless is four stars.






Richelle Mead has a new series coming out in 2016 and I couldn't be more happy about it! I'm SO EXCITED!!! :D

My Review 

Thank you so much to Penguin Random House Children's Publisher for my copy of The Rose Society. 
First of all I'm a huge fan of Marie Lu's books I loved her Legend series. I really enjoyed The Young Elites. When I started The Rose Society I thought the beginning of the story was a bit slow, but I wanted to know what happens so I kept on reading. I love it how you don't have your typical hero in this story I found that refreshing. I love how dark these stories are, Marie Lu's world building is amazing, I love her writing. 

I loved reading from Adelina's POVS, I found it really interesting how Maire Lu made you have a love/hate relationship with her but in the end I kind of felt sorry for her. 
The Second half of the story really picked itself up, a lot more action packed that ending was brilliant I can't wait to see where Marie Lu takes Adelina's story. I'm so looking forward to book 3. I'm rating The Rose Society four stars.

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Summary 
When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

My Review 
Oh.My.God Colleen Hoover has done it again!! I'm becoming obsessed  with her books. I always love her characters her writing is beautiful, which ever books you read by Colleen Hoover your emotions goes all over the place you care so much for the characters and what happens to them. I LOVED the ending to Ugly Love I was so pleased I we got the Epilogue because I was scared it was just going to end at chapter  thirty-nine because I just wanted more. I love Tate and Miles. I can't wait to read Slammed soon. I gave Ugly Love 5 out of 5 stars (obviously) ;)

These Broken Stars by Amy Kaufman and Megan Spooner

Summary

It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone. 

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. 

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.
A timeless love story, These Broken Stars sets into motion a sweeping science fiction series of companion novels. The Starbound Trilogy: Three worlds. Three love stories. One enemy.

My Review 
I really enjoyed this book I loved the characters and the world it was set it in, I thought the world building and the character development was amazing! I really like reading about  Sci-fi. I like the POV but sometimes I forget which character I'm reading about (but thats just me), I really felt like I was with the characters in space with them. I will be most definitely  be reading This Shattered World. My rating for These Broken Stars is 4 out of 5 stars.

Opposition by Jennifer L Armentrout

Summary Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing. My Review I LOVE the Lux series and I was so sad to hear that this was going to be the last book in the series. These books are just so much fun to read, you never get bored! So much action goes on in this book. I LOVE Katy and Daemon. I'll be re-reading this series very soon for sure! 5 out of 5 stars.

Summary Love ignites in the City That Never Sleeps, but can it last? From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren’t always forever. Their romantic journey is skilfully intertwined with those of beloved couples Anna and Étienne and Lola and Cricket, whose paths are destined to collide in a sweeping finale certain to please fans old and new. My Review Stephanie Perkins has done it again!! My heart is so happy. I LOVE Isla and Josh <3 I gave Isla 5 out of 5 stars. Everyone should read these books, they're just perfect. My favourites out of the three in order are Anna and the French Kiss, Isla and the Happily Ever After and Lola and the Boy Next Door. All I'm asking for can Stephanie Perkins wright a novella about Anna and St. Clair please ;)
