Ellen Schreiber-Once in a Full Moon

Okay "Once In A Full Moon" screams werewolves. Yes there are werewolves involved. One werewolf from what I can tell. This obviously means I didn't finish the book. Which I didn't. I'm lady enough to admit I didn't finish the dumb book. I got halfway through and I just couldn't do it anymore. I'm a HUGE wimp. So this isn't  gonna be all accurate but whateva. So let us begin. 

So the main character is this chick named Celeste Parker. I guess the main male character is some dude named Brandon (Im such a nit that I forgot his last name and the only way I know Celeste's is because I couldn't figure out what her first name was so I searched it up). 

So the place is Legends Run. So Celeste doesn't believe in the whole werewolf legend going around. This is one of two things I actually like about this character. Yea one of two. The other thing I like is she's not biased about what "side of the tracks" you live in. 

So basically Legends Run is split in two sections. There's the Westside and the Riverside. The Riverside is full of "poor" people who stand by tradition and all that jazz. The Westside is full of stuck up, think-they're-better-than-you people. If you haven't guessed it yet, the Westside is full of rich people. 

So Celeste is in the family of rich people, but apparently she thinks she's "not rich enough". This is one of many, many, many reasons why I hate this character. Brandon (bless his beloved soul) is from Riverside so lot of distrust and crap going on when he moves to Legends Runs High school. 

So after one afternoon of getting your future read, Celeste's dumb friends are late to some practice (Im so terrible. I can't even remember what practice it was) and leave her to walk home alone. Note that Brandon's already in school and that it is in the middle of winter. Like I said, Celeste has dumb friends. So Celeste walks home and gets lost. Which, by the way, is real smooth. So dummy here keeps on walking. So soon enough dummy is surrounded by a pack of bloody wolves. Note again that the wolves aren't really bloodied. 

Soon enough our hero comes in and scares the wolves off but gets bit. 

Next full moon: So during the full moon Celeste is dropping off something (I forgot; I'm so bad) and she stays and the moon is full and-blah blah blah-Brandon and Celeste start kissing (Eww, disgusting. We all saw this coming. You know you saw this coming before you even read what I wrote). Then Brandon transforms into a werewolf thing (yawn. You know, same-old, same-old) and he tells her to leave ( or maybe she runs away) and well next school day Celeste asks Brandon about it and he doesn't remember a thing. 

And that was the point I left of at. I seriously couldn't take it anymore. It was literally ruining my soul. My soul was in actual pain. And it's not the pain you feel when you're mourning someone. No, no. This pain wraps around you and slowly suffocates you until you can't breathe. You can see what's happening but you can't prevent it. Yea, that's the feeling I got from this book. I literally had premature lows after I read something from this book. That's how bad it is. 

Divergent

As promised I have a review. For the whole week I've been trying to figure out which book to review. Then I finished the last book in this series. And I needed to review it. Badly.
The first book, Divergent, was (in my opinion) the best flipin' book in the trilogoy. Why? Because it was fast paced, thrilling, amazing and a whole lot of other words.
The second book, Insurgent, was okay, I guess, but not really as...good as the first book. Why? Because there was a lot of trust issues between Tris and Tobias. My Toby keeps things from Trissy girl, doesn't trust Tris' judgement; says that her jealousy is clouding her judgement. Tris' judgement was correct.
Now I'm gonna drop a bomb on all of y'all. So if you dont want this bomb, leave. Cause Im about to tell you how Alligent ends. Ready? Tris dies. Yep she dies. Goes through this death serem, lives, then shuts down this memory serem that was gonna erase thwarting memories of everyone in the community. Then the leader of this group outside of the community, David, shots her and she dies. Originally, her brother, Caleb, was gonna do this, but even though he was gonna let Trissy girl die, she goes ahead and does it instead. She dies. Im still trying to wrap my head around this information. I can't even look at the bloody book. Because it ruined my dreams. I thought Tris would, I don't know, come back alive. I was crying for hours. I swear to the Chocolate Lord. Even now, I wanna cry.
I give this whole series, as a whole, four and a half stars. Would be five, but nooo Veronica Both had to kill, kill Tris. Dummy needs to rewrite the end part of the book and sell that too. Then label it "Alligent, the nicer version".
Im done now. I'll try, really I will, to get at least 2 reviews out every month. 

This is how Awesome I am!

So I know I haven't wrote in awhile-which makes me feel really guilty-but I have good reasons. First off, it was winter break. Everyone does nothing on winter break. Sadly, that population includes me. Gosh, I really need a life. But any who, there was also Christmas followed by New Year which was then followed by school. :( So not cool. So sorry. So I promise that I will try to get a review out sometime this week, after I find the right book that I'm looking for. And I think I have it, but I'm not sure. But (yes there is a but to my ranting and apologizing) there is another reason I haven't posted another review. I know what you're thinking. That I need some help because there are waaayyy to many reasons for me not to post. But I believe this is a valid one. A very valid one, seeing as how I put this down the summer of '13. I believe... Any ways I need to get back on track. Where was I? Reason. Valid reason. I took back up on writing this one book. I know. I know. Stare at this screen in confusion and caution because I'm a psychopath. But this means a lot to me. It was the first book idea that I ever wrote on paper. Yep, if you live close to me, you can probably hear me screaming with joy and running down the street in a bathing suit, cause I don't do nude. So my first ever baby was at 17 maybe 18 pages when I put it down and suddenly in just a few days of typing I'm not at page 31-yep reread that. Thirty-fudging-one!-and approximately 9,115 words. Yay! Go Hannah! Okay I'm good. Y'all can continue on with your life now. Just don't mind me. You can forget me. Love y'all, even though y'all are probably ignoring and disowning me now.

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

So I wouldnt recommend this for people who are mostly those happy-go-lucky-theres-no-such-thing-as-violence kinda people. They need to be okay with violence. If I havent scared you off, please by any means continue reading.
So young kids and hgltnstav people shouldnt read this because first off its zombies. That in itself explains a lot. Second the main character, Alice (hence the name Alice in Zombieland) kicks major zombie butt. Third Alice and her zombie killer gang kill zombies because they have "gifts" that allow these people to see zombies. So theres also knives, zombie killing training involved too. So onwards...
So Alice's father has seen the zombies eat his familys' soul and stuff and has always been "we must stay inside after dark". It takes strict parenting to a new level. So Alices' little sister, Emma, is doing a recital after dark and Alice manages to coax her father to allow the family to go. So after the rectial and everything they are driving back home and Daddy-O sees a zombie, turns the wheel sharply to advoid it, and the car flips over. So everyone dies and Alice is the soul survivor left. Alice had seen the zombies drag her family and eat their souls but plays that off to a wild pack of dogs or wolves or something. So at the hospital she meets a new bestfriend, Kat, who told her straight up that she was not to call her Kitty or Meow or anything like that.
And sadly folks thats all I can tell you now or else I'll ruin the whole book for ya. Now there is a guy that becomes her "sorta boyfriend", theres (I believe and im just giving a heads up) a few mentions of sex and theres a scene where they go to a club to show the guys that they arent afraid. Theres kissing I know but I usually just skip those parts and skip a page then look to see what theyre doing and act accordingly. So cant really tell you if they are kid/teen appropriate. So dont blame me if ya read them and see they are not teen or kid appropriate cause I just warned ya.
So apart from that its a good book. And I definetly cant wait for the book that came out in October, "Through the Zombie Glass". So see ya at the next review.

Outsider by Micalea Smeltzer

        So its almost 4am and its a school night and I dont even know why Im writing this or why Im up.
         Anywho Ive been feeling real bad cause I havent posted any reviews or anything since for-evvvva! So this is me trying to make it up to complete and utter strangers.
          So this series Outsider is amazing. I personally felt like I was grabbed into the stories and taken on a ride. So this girl Sophie Beaumount-?-is moving in with her Gran in Virginia cause her Dad is being "transferred" to Germany. So she moves in with her Gran and starts working at her Grans' bakery shop thing/place/store. There she bumps into Caeden and things started flying. Literally. He stares at her then drops some cupcakes on the floor.
         Dang I knew writing this late wasnt good for my mental health. Should really earse those spoilers but guess what? I dont feel like it. I feel so proud of myself for remembering a book that I havent read in months. So Im just gonna let yall have that.
           So overall I give this a 4 star (****) review. Because I have this thing with cliffhangers and I get so annoyed with them. Outsider has a cliffhanger. Insider has a cliffhanger. Fighter has a cliffhanger. And even though it should be the last book Avenger will probably-most likely-have a cliffhanger.
           So yep there we have it. Im gonna go knock myself out now. Bye!!!!!

Where the awesomeness begins and reviews are put on hold.

Okay so I've been asking myself "how am I going to put my awesomeness on a blog?" Well people i have your answer. Instead of writing blog after blog about someone elses books, I'm going to give you guys a peak-it's a big peak, mind you-of book(s) that I am currently typing/writing in my spare time. Now I know I haven't blogged in awhile but it was because I have to tutor my students in my class-I am that good at math-and I've been doing homework and yadah, yadah, yadah. So during my free-time in class I've been writing a story. Don't really know what the bloody world it's about other than this girl, Courtney or something(haven't really wrote what her name is yet)was admitted to a crazy hospital when her sister, Lesa died. Then she is swept away to Hell(I write about supernatural things, okay? Deal with it)where she is to rule sside by side with Henry, her chosen, as queen. So now that that's done with, time for you to see the prolouge thingy. "It was so dark in here. I could see a light, not so far away. My friend was there. She looked so worried, it made me worry. I wanted to kill whoever had made my strong, supportive friend worry. That's when I realized it. She was worried about me! Why was she worried? She had to know that I was fine. I was walking towards her, towards the light that surrounded my friend I saw as my mother walked up befind my friend. I reached towards them. A voice at my back yelled at me to coe back, but all I wanted to do was to surround myself in my mothers and friends love and suppot. I touched their fingers with mine and then, their faces morphed into something so evil, so ugly I stumbled backwards. The two demon like things locked their hands around my fragile wrist. They then yanked me forward. Forward into what I knew was Hell. Literally." So I might be doing these peaks until A) Im done with the book, then you can read it or B) I leave this project behind and start a new one where you will still get peaks at.

The House of Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Okay to start off, I feel really bad that I haven't posted in awhile. So... REVIEW TIME!!! The House of Scorpion was actually recommended by my libraian at my school. My friend J-Rod had it so I kinda stole it from him, kinda took it. Yea, so my personal opinion of this book is that the lady, maid person and everyone else go from being all pissy to all sweet and innocent. What the bleep!!! It also says growled a lot. They are NOT animals people even if Matt is a clone, he's still not an animal. While the story line and plot were very interesting-in my opinion people, this isn't YOUR review blog so shut it-it also confused me a lot. Like it just doesn't go into as much details as I would like so it was kinda a bummer when it only explained in full on details about the little things like the secret tunnel and the shtuff. I think-wait scratch that-I KNOW I had better expectations for this book so it was kind of depressing knowing it didn't meet my standereds. Anyways...I'll give this book 3.5 stars. Chio!
