Fire with fire by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian review by Emmy

When sweet revenge turns sour… Book two of a trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian.

Lillia, Kat, and Mary had the perfect plan. Work together in secret to take down the people who wronged them. But things didn’t exactly go the way they’d hoped at the Homecoming Dance.

Not even close.

For now, it looks like they got away with it. All they have to do is move on and pick up the pieces, forget there ever was a pact. But it’s not easy, not when Reeve is still a total jerk and Rennie’s meaner than she ever was before.

And then there’s sweet little Mary…she knows there’s something seriously wrong with her. If she can’t control her anger, she’s sure that someone will get hurt even worse than Reeve was. Mary understands now that it’s not just that Reeve bullied her—it’s that he made her love him.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, burn for a burn. A broken heart for a broken heart. The girls are up to the task. They’ll make Reeve fall in love with Lillia and then they will crush him. It’s the only way he’ll learn.

It seems once a fire is lit, the only thing you can do is let it burn...

I was officially addicted by the end of Burn for burn. It was one in the morning and I had finished it and I NEEDED TO KNOW what happened next, so at the time normal people wake up, I went to the library and checked it out. I read it in literally 8 hours. This book is a freaking brick, btw. 500 pages, it's like freaking Beautiful Creatures again. Anyway, the book. I loved it! I loved how I got more details about the characters- about Kats mum, Lillian and Rennies friendship, Mary's aunt and THAT shocking ending, both parts with Mary's crazy revelation and... No, no spoilers. But anyway, there was a LOT more paranormal stuff, like with Mary getting used to her powers, and finding out why she has them. I totally ship Reelia, once they actually like each other, so you know. (That's Reeve and Lillia) I thought Ashlin was really annoying though. Is that just me?! There were never dull moments, it was  always interesting, and I am sooo buying it sometime. XD me and my online shopping accounts! I also bought $31 worth of Pretty Little Liars books. And a slytherin scarf. That's off topic. But it's a cool scarf. Anyway, the only problem with this series is I have to wait 2. Freaking. Months. For Ashes to Ashes. Well, I'm gonna hibernate till then. Bye! Xoxo

The List by Siobhan Vivian review by Emmy

An intense look at the rules of high school attraction -- and the price that's paid for them.

It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.

This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.

Oohkay. Um.

I loved this while I was reading it and afterwards for a while but... Eek... I forgot what happened! Everything apart from a girl called Sarah didn't shower for ages, a homeschooled girl got prettiest, there was a girl called bridgit or Candace with an eating disorder who got ugliest and her little sister got prettiest, and Danielle's boyfriend Andrew was a jerk. I really wish I could review this properly,but I have no time to reread it, and seriously, this was a very good book, I remember that I thought it was amazing at the time, but now I've just forgotten most of it. :() guess the zombies in Warm Bodies ate my brains??? Sorry guys, I really wanted to be able to write a good review.
Perhaps I can reread it someday, but not in near future.

Burn for burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian review by Emmy

“This is Karma. I’m a bitch. Can you think of anyone who deserves a bitch slap? - Kat” — 0 likes

Payback is paradise in this start to a trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian.

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes—and three girls secretly plotting revenge.
     KAT is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend.
     LILLIA has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she’s going to put a stop to it.
     MARY is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past, and the boy who’s responsible has yet to get what’s coming to him.
     None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together…anything is possible.
     With an unlikely alliance in place, there will be no more “I wish I’d said…” or “If I could go back and do things differently...” These girls will show Jar Island that revenge is a dish best enjoyed together.

Can I start by saying I adore both these authors works? I read The summer I turned pretty trilogy- loved it. I also loved The List. Both these amazing authors, writing a trilogy together?? Dream come true. I meant to read this aaaaagggess ago like literally 2 years. But I never had time, because of other books, library due dates and whatnot. Anyhow, I finally read this, in what?? 6 hours? It was 1 in the morning when I finished and I ADORED it! I loved Kat and her sarcastic awesomeness, Mary's sweetness, and I thought Lillia was a darling. Reeve though... *shudders* I also didn't like Rennie, though that was the point, I suppose. I liked the revenge theme and the slight supernatural twist that was just subtle enough to hint without giving anything away. The whole time, I thought how cool this would be as a tv series- maybe abc family? And the models on the covers could be the actresses, that's how I imagined them the whole time. I'd say it's a little bit like pretty little liars, but it isn't, really. It's got a slight similarity but it's really just it's own amazing thing. It is addictive, though. I couldn't sleep, wanting Fire with Fire so badly. But I so so so adored this <3 I even ordered a copy off amazon because, hey, five stars is worth money. I will definitely be counting the days until Ashes to Ashes is released. Xxx <3 c ya!

Lies my girlfriend told me by Julie Anne Peters review by Hailley

When Alix's charismatic girlfriend, Swanee, dies from sudden cardiac arrest, Alix is overcome with despair. As she searches Swanee's room for mementos of their relationship, she finds Swanee's cell phone, pinging with dozens of texts sent from a mysterious contact, L.T. The most recent text reads: "Please tell me what I did. Please, Swan. Te amo. I love you."

Shocked and betrayed, Alix learns that Swanee has been leading a double life--secretly dating a girl named Liana the entire time she's been with Alix. Alix texts Liana from Swanee's phone, pretending to be Swanee in order to gather information before finally meeting face-to-face to break the news.

Brought together by Swanee's lies, Alix and Liana become closer than they'd thought possible. But Alix is still hiding the truth from Liana. Alix knows what it feels like to be lied to--but will coming clean to Liana mean losing her, too?

I was very excited to hear that Julie had a new book out. I am a big fan of her work, and I enjoyed this a lot. It was funny, sad, sarcastic and sweet. now for the points.


+1 For Liana
at first when I found out Swanee dated both Alix and Liana I was like "B*tch don't steal Swanee from Alix" but I grew to love her.


+1 for Alix
she was a cool character


+1 for Lianix- I ship it!


-1 For Swanee. She was a b*tch. She made Alix take drugs, pressured her to do things she wasn't into and- oh yeah- SHE CHEATED ON THEM BOTH! SHE WAS EVEN ENGAGED TO LIANA! what kind of person is that? 


I would add more points but that's what stood out the most. Oh, yeah and Jewell and Jools? I didn't like you guys either !!!!
well, I gtg now. but yeah, overall it was a great book, highly recommend it. lovaya!! xx

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater review by Emmy

“You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without.

Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.


Shiver
Maggie Stiefvater
Rating-4\5
Age recommendation- pg-13 for violence and one mild love scene


I thought this book was interesting because it has blue font instead of a typical black, and its about a fantasy romance with lots of action too. The plot was original and I liked the plot, including the subplot with them having to find the dangerous werewolf. It was suspenseful, and I didn't want it to end.


The beginning was gripping, and I kept thinking it was going to stop being as good, but it never did that. I liked most of the charecters, particularly Sam, Grace and Isabel, the sister of the wolf they are hunting. As well as all that, there was the worry that the cold would make Sam transform again, because the climate controls their transformation, and it was all put together without being too much. The fantasy plot was believable and almost realistic, and I will definitely read the rest of the trilogy.




Now for quotes!!


“You two are too cute,” the counter girl said, setting two cups piled with whipped cream on the counter. She had a sort of lopsided, open smile that made me think she laughed a lot. “Seriously. How long have you been going out?”
Sam let go of my hands to get his wallet and took out some bills. “Six years.”
I wrinkled my nose to cover a laugh. Of course he would count the time that we’d been two entirely different species.
Whoa.” Counter girl nodded appreciatively. “That’s pretty amazing for a couple your age."
Sam handed me my hot chocolate and didn’t answer. But his yellow eyes gazed at me possessively—I wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.
I crouched to look at the almond bark on the bottom shelf in the counter. I wasn’t quite bold enough to look at either of them when I admitted, “Well, it was love at first sight.”
The girl sighed. “That is just so romantic. Do me a favor, and don’t you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“So, Grace, how's school?" I asked myself.
Dad nodded, eyes on the baby koala now struggling in the guest's arms.
"Oh, it's fine," I continued, and Dad made a mumbling noise of agreement. I added, "Nothing special, aside from the load of pandas they brought in, and the teachers abandoning us to cannibalistic savages-" I paused to see if I'd caught his attention yet, then pressed on. "The whole building caught fire, then I failed drama, and then sex, sex, sex."
Dad's eyes abruptly focused, and he turned to me and frowned. "What did you say they were teaching you in school?”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“How long?"

His smile was amazingly sweet. "The longest."

"For ever?"

Sam's lips smiled, but above his grin, his yellow eyes turned sad, as if he knew it was a lie. "Longer.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“His lips tasted cool and sharp, peppermint, winter, but his hands, soft on the back of my neck, promised long days and summer and forever.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“Sensitive," I tried.

Sam translated: "Squishy."

"Creative."

"Dangerously emo."

"Thoughtful."

"Feng shui."

I laughed so hard I snorted. "How do you get feng shui out of 'thoughtful'?"

"You know, because in feng shui, you arrange furniture and plants and stuff in thoughtful ways." Sam shrugged. "To make you calm. Zenlike. Or something. I'm not one hundred percent sure how it all works, besides the thoughtful part.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“And then I opened my eyes and it was just Grace and me - nothing anywhere but Grace and me - she pressing her lips together as though she were keeping my kiss inside her, and me, holding this moment that was as fragile as a bird in my hands.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


“Lunch." I said. "Immediately. I'm going to wither away to absolutely nothing. Then you'll be racked with guilt."
"I doubt it.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver    


See you soon! xoxoxo
