Okaaaay. The plot is surprisingly good. It's why I gave this a 3 stars even though I didn't like how some of it was grammatically incorrect. I mean, this was released way back 2017, right? But the copy I had was like it wasn't edited right. There's this scene where she's reading newspapers and I didn't understand one bit of it cause it was cut off. I'm not sure if that is intentional but yeah, I skipped that part cause I barely understand it or maybe it's because it's like that I didn't bother reading that part. *shrugs*

I didn't like how I keep on thinking that the characters are just a bunch of hormonal teenagers. They just gave off this vibe that they are teens when in actuality they are all 22 to 23 years old. You'd think they'll be a bit mature then but nope. So while that is that, I also keep picturing the adults (parents and Nathan) all under the age of 40. Especially Nathan. He's supposed to be somewhere 40 right? And so dad is supposed to be like maybe 60? BUT... No, they didn't seem to be in that age. IDK why I thought they are all so young. LOL.

ALSO! She already graduated from college (but yes keep thinking it's high school) and supposed to be 23 year old. But she was acting like a teen when her mom says they'd have to move to Beacon Hill. I'm Asian and at that age I lived with my parents, still. But this was weird. Like why are you going if you don't really want to? You're supposed to be an adult now. I do understand it was just the two of them but kind of weird that she'd think like that.

The good part was that it's actually entertaining enough for me to read all of this. It was fun if you ignore the grammar part which I know might be hard if you had a copy like mine. lol. The friends are fun too. Alex's dreamy. Yep. Same as my name. LOL.

It was worth the read, though. But yes, maybe the copy from Amazon is good. IDK. If it is, read it. It was a good read anyway.

Review: Nine

Nine by Zach Hines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

It was weirdly great. Lol. It is definitely a new concept for me. It delivered, imo. The world building is great, the writing good. The story line, yep.

It just a bit descriptive in some parts but some parts are NOT that descriptive if you get my drift. I still have questions. Like, where did the bodies comes from? Like did they get it manufactured or something? I'm morbidly curious about the science of it. Lol. They just said they emerged from the Lake. So, are the new bodies kept there?? How does that work?? I need that kind of answers, dammit. Lmao.

Question regarding the story were answered. But of course some new ones came up too.

I can say that this book is really good albeit a bit weird. Worth my time to read!

Review: Heart of Thorns

Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC provided by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.

Sooooooo.... I really liked the story and the world building of this book. BUT, I was TOLDthat she's a huntress. She hunt the Gwyrach cause of her mother's death. This is an issue I had all throughout the book. I was under the impression she had great knives skills, great combat skills too as you know, she trained to be a hunter of demons. So I was a bit disappointed that there was NONE of it in the book. I mean, okay, so you threw a knife at some tree, that's it though. So yes, I'm the type of reader who loves her action scenes and dammit I didn't get much.

Mia is not a damsel-in-distress though. That's what I think. She knew her way around. She is really a smart woman and for once, Barton SHOWED that Mia IS smart. The world is intricately woven, if I daresay. My other problem is that there's too much descriptions. I mean, I'm all for descriptions but I don't need THAT much. LOL. So I skipped some and just read the conversations because those are really great.

Quin. I liked that he's really something else. And that he's you know (view spoiler)[bi (hide spoiler)].

The above reasons are why I didn't gave it five stars. I just kept expecting that there will be a LOT of actions but I do liked that even though there are not much action, the world building is great. I loved the concept, the dialogues, the history of magic and all that.

I was sad that it ended up cliffy though. LOL. Because I really want to know what happened next. But this is an arc. A soon-to-be published book. I might have to wait for a year or something for the next. :(

Definitely worth my time to read. I just wished that on the next book, there'll be more action scene. Show those 'hunter' skills you have told us reader. Because this is why we love Fantasy books. THEY TELL YOU THINGS AND THEN SHOW YOU. Less description on unnecessary things and more about the characters.

REVIEW

This book is not the typical Tarryn Fisher book. I haven't read Willow Aster's books yet but I plan to.

Imagine my surprise that Tarryn wrote a dystopian book. I love dystopian books and this is my first in the Adult genre. I usually read YA Dystopia. Anyway, why do good books hard to review? You can't say anything else besides "THIS IS FUCKING GOOD. GO READ THIS." Or scream yourself out how this is so good and everyone should go read it.

I've read YA books where women are used to breed children. Where men captured them, rapes them, etc. But this is the first where it's the other way around. Women wants to breed but it's their decision. Since there are only 12 men left in their country, or so they say. These men are enslaved albeit glamorously paid and all their desires are given. But still they are sex slaves, in short.

So you see, I started to pity these 12 men. They might liked it at first but nobody wants to have sex 3 times a day, almost everyday since you were 18 years old. And with different women, if I may add. Who wants that?! IT gets tiring.

What I loved about this is the rebels. Gwen. Of course we all know Gwen will be the special snowflake. I know that. But I still love her tenacity. I love that she's made like that. I got really teary eyed on a lot of parts. I stopped it as soon as it formed though because I'm at the office. But you get me, right?

I cannot imagine my child to be taken away from me. This, I know from the moment I gave birth to her, I cannot take that. So yes, I feel all the feels, a mother should feel in some parts. Gah. I wanna read the next book now. Because it does end in a cliffy. 

But seriously, GO FUCKING READ THIS. IT IS FUCKING GOOD. IT HAS SEX, I KNOW YOU WANT THOSE SCENES. YES THERE ARE SOME AND DETAILED. BUT THERE IS ALSO CONTENT IN THIS BOOK. I don't read a lot of adult books for fear of too many sex scenes and less world building, but this is different. I REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS WORTH THE READ.

BTW, I devoured this book. I read it in less than 24 hours, which is saying something due to my short attention span these days. It is that intriguing, engaging and definitely an awesome read.

K. THANKS. BYE. 

P.S.

Book two comes out soon! I read somewhere that Jackal's book will be released around July. But it's Tarryn. So we might or we might not get it early or in time. LMAO.
