Say Her Name By James Dawson

Say Her Name by James Dawson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Say Her Name wasn't a scary read at all.

Bobbie was an okay character, but she had some annoying moments - Especially at the beginning.
Her friends were worse though, and i couldn't bring myself to like them, or care about them really.

For a Horror, you would think there would actually be some scary bits, but there wasn't. There was one part where i thought "OMG i'd freak" but that only lasted for about two seconds.
One of the chapters was quite good, but i couldn't see why they started freaking out about what they saw. There was a more sane explanation on why they were there, but instead of thinking about it, they immediately thought it was Bloody Mary.

The ending was okay, but by that point, i just wanted to finish it.

Overall, not scary, had annoying characters, and felt longer than what it was.

One, Two, Three By Elodie Nowodazkij

One, Two, Three by Elodie Nowodazkij
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

One, Two, Three was an okay read, but it took a while for it to get interesting.

I felt sorry for Natalya. It must be awful thinking you'll never be able to achieve your dream of becoming a professional dancer because of an accident, and losing your father in the same accident.
I thought she was a bit hypocritical when she started drinking though, because of how many times she told her mother to stop doing it.

The first half of this was dull, and i couldn't get into it at all. The second half picked up a bit thankfully, but i still wasn't enjoying it very much.

Overall, Alright read, but had some very large slow patches.

Never Fade By Alexandra Bracken

Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.25

Never Fade wasn't as good as the first one.

Ruby was a really strong character again, and i was impressed that she managed to keep everything together.
There was a couple of new faces in this, and i liked them... but not as much as Liam/Chubs/Zu.

The pacing in the first one was slow, but i really enjoyed the storyline, and loved the characters.
Even though i enjoyed the storyline in this one, the pacing was slower, so it had more boring bits - Especially in the first half.

Overall, an okay read, but way too slow!

Cress By Marissa Meyer

Cress by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cress is the worst book in the series so far. (It has the prettiest cover though!)

Cress was an okay character, but i didn't like her as much as Cinder and Scarlet.
I didn't understand her name though. Cinder/Scarlet/Winter are obvious to see how they come from Cinderella/Red riding hood/Snow white... but how does Crescent come from Rapunzel?

I couldn't get interested in this at all. It was slow and boring.
Whenever something happened, i still felt bored.

Overall, Slow, boring, worst in series.

Glimpse By Kendra Leighton

Glimpse by Kendra Leighton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

Glimpse wasn't a very good read unfortunately.

Liz was an okay character most of the time, but she could be quite slow on the uptake, which was quite annoying.
I didn't get why she thought changing schools would get rid of her glimpses. It's not the type of thing that's going to go away easily!

I found this quite dull, and the pacing was a bit too slow for me. Nothing really happened until the end, so i was pretty bored until then.
When it did start picking up, it was a lot more exciting than the rest of it... but it still wasn't anything amazing.

Overall, slow and dull.

Radiant By Karina Sumner-Smith

Radiant by Karina Sumner-Smith
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.)

Radiant started out okay, but i lost interest very quickly.

The main character was an okay character. I really liked her in the first chapter because she didn't tolerate anybody's rudeness, but as the story progressed, i found her more annoying.

The pacing in this was just too slow for me. The first chapter was great, the couple of chapters after that were good, but the rest was boring.
It dragged, it was confusing, and i just couldn't get interested in it.

Overall, confusing, slow, not for me.

City of a Thousand Dolls By Miriam Forster

City of a Thousand Dolls by Miriam Forster
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

City of a Thousand Dolls was okay to start with, but quickly became boring.

Nisha was an alright character, but she made some very silly decisions.

The pacing was just too slow for me. I wanted to know what happened, but i didn't want to read another 200 (or so) pages to find out!
It picked up a bit when the killer was revealed, and i was quite surprised... but i still wasn't liking the book very much unfortunately.

Overall, slow and boring.

Twinmaker By Sean Williams

Twinmaker by Sean Williams
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Twinmaker bored me.

The characters were okay, but they could be annoying at times.

The first few chapters were alright, but the rest was dull.
There was parts when it wasn't too bad, but i still wasn't enjoying it very much.

It could be really hard to follow sometimes, which made me feel even more bored.

Overall, slow, dull, confusing.
I was relieved when the ending came!

Insignia by S.J. Kincaid
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Insignia bored me.

The characters in this wasn't that great, but i didn't hate them.

This just dragged unfortunately, and it was full of info dumps.
The first 4 chapters were okay, but the rest was boring. I kept hoping it would pick up, but it never did. I was really relieved when i got to the ending!

Overall, dull, slow, and had way too many info dumps.

Pointe By Brandy Colbert

Pointe by Brandy Colbert
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Pointe looked like a great book.. but unfortunately, it wasn't.

I didn't really like Theo.
She really annoyed me when she said she didn't want to be "that kind of girl" but then thought it was okay to go around kissing other peoples boyfriends.
I didn't get why she thought smoking and drinking would be a good idea when she wanted to do ballet. I've read a few books where the main character wanted to do ballet professionally, and they've all said that they needed a high lung capacity... so why did Theo pollute her lungs?!

Throughout the whole book i kept thinking "When will we meet Donovan?" He was mentioned quite a bit, but Theo didn't see him until the end of the book!

The pacing in this was too slow for me, so i got really bored. I kept hoping it would pick up, but it never did.

Overall, Started out okay, but went downhill.

Dangerous Creatures By Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

I didn't like the Beautiful Creatures series that much, but i liked Ridley, so i was hoping this one would be good.
Unfortunately, it was actually worse than the main series.

Ridley really annoyed me in this one, and it made me question why i liked her in the first place.
Link wasn't much better. I didn't like him much in the main series, but in this one i really didn't like him! He was annoying, and i really didn't like the songs he wrote. They were awful!

I was expecting this to be slow, but i didn't think it would be this slow! I was so bored at one point, that cleaning the house was starting to look appealing!

The ending was a giant cliffhanger, and i didn't appreciate it at all.
I want to know what happens to them now, but i don't want to read the next one to find out!

Overall, dull and annoying.

Torn Away By Jennifer Brown

Torn Away by Jennifer Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Torn Away was a sad, but good read!

Jersey was a really strong character.
Everything she was going through was horrible, so i felt really sorry for her.

Her dad and the rest of Jersey's paternal family were awful.
I thought her step sisters had a serious attitude problem. When their and Jersey's dad, and the girls mum came into it, you could tell where they got it from!

Jersey's other grandparents were really nice though. I could see why Jersey was wary of them, and was being defensive... but she was being a bit too harsh to start with!

Overall, slow, but was really good.
I'm looking forward to reading the authors other books!

The Darkest Minds By Alexandra Bracken

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Darkest Minds was a good read, i just wish it wasn't so slow!

I really liked the main characters.
Ruby was a strong character, and she had to make some really hard decisions! Liam was another strong character, and i loved his and Ruby's relationship.
Zu and Chubs were great characters too. It took me a while to warm to Chubs, but when i did, i loved him.

I liked the story line too, but the pacing was really slow, so there were times when i was quite bored.

The ending was amazing! There's not many books that have made me cry, but this one did.

Overall, good story line, great characters, brilliant ending... just a bit too slow!

Where She Went By Gayle Forman

Where She Went by Gayle Forman
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was just as bad as the first.

I can understand why Adam would be upset with Mia, and i felt a bit sorry for him because of it. Apart from that though, i didn't really care about him.
He started to get really annoying with his constant talk about his band. You're bands doing really good, that's great for you, but please stop banging on about it!

Mia's reason for walking out was annoying, and i disliked her more because of it.
(view spoiler)[ In book one, she kept on saying how it was her choice if she stayed or went. She decided to stay (obviously) but then blamed Adam for it. Mia, YOU chose to stay, YOU got another chance in life, unlike you're parents... so why are you complaining? And why are you blaming Adam?! (hide spoiler)]

Overall, Boring and had annoying characters.

If I Stay By Gayle Forman

If I Stay by Gayle Forman
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

If I Stay was an okay story, but it felt really long for a book this size.

Mia didn't annoy me, and i didn't hate her... but i didn't like her either.
Her life was fairly boring, so the flashbacks didn't make for a very interesting read.

After a few chapters, i started to get really bored.
With Mia's unexciting life, and a very slow pace, it was hard to stay interested.

Overall, boring.
Hopefully the second book is better!

Specials By Scott Westerfeld

Specials by Scott Westerfeld
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.5

Specials was another good read!

Tally was again an okay character. She was a lot more stronger... but she had more annoying moments!

I really liked the action, and there seemed to be a few less slow patches in this one which is good!
There was some more inventions in this that i really liked. It's 2014, why haven't we got any of these inventions in the real world?!

Overall, another great sequel, with a great ending!

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.5

Pretties was an enjoyable read.

It took me ages to warm to Tally in the last book, but i started to like her towards the end. I didn't like her in this one straight away either, but it didn't take as long to warm to her as it did before, thankfully!
She was a strong character, and was quite clever!

There was a couple of inventions in this that i loved... but the one i loved most was the calorie purgers. It would be so great to be able to eat anything you wanted without putting weight on!

Overall, a good sequel.

Nearly Gone By Elle Cosimano

Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was really looking forward to reading this one, but it ended up being a huge disappointment.

Nearly was an okay character, but she had her annoying moments.
The rest of the characters weren't very good ones unfortunately.

The pacing was too slow, and very very dull. I was bored by chapter four, and it only got worse as the story progressed.
The ending was the best bit, but even that was quite boring.

Overall, slow, dull, disappointing.

We Were Liars By E. Lockhart

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

We Were Liars was a very dull read.

I couldn't get interested in this at all. The writing was annoying, the main character was annoying, and it was really dull.
I only found two chapters interesting in the whole book, and considering there was over eighty chapters, it was ridiculous!

Overall, boring.
The only part i found slightly interesting didn't last very long at all!

Toxic By Sara Shepard

Toxic by Sara Shepard
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Toxic was defiantly the worst book out of the series!

Hanna, Spencer, Emily and Aria are all idiots.
Every time they came up with plans to catch Ali, i felt like banging my head against a wall.



All of their plans were stupid, and i haven't got a clue why they thought they would work.

It's also really annoying that these girls have learnt nothing from their mistakes. Why are they still trusting people so easily? Why aren't they more wary when it comes to believing things?

I wasn't impressed by the ending either, it was very unoriginal!

Overall, boring, ridiculous, annoying.

Sever By Lauren DeStefano

Sever by Lauren DeStefano
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sever was better than Fever, but i can't say i enjoyed it that much.

Rhine was a better character in this than she was in the past two books. She matured quite a bit.
I thought Cecily was a lot better in this one too. In the other books, i didn't like her... but in this one, i did!

The pacing was quite slow again in this installment, but the things that happened near the end of the book really brought it out of it's huge slow patch.
Both events were really surprising! They were defiantly the best bit out all three books.

Overall, an okay ending to the series.

Fever By Lauren DeStefano

Fever by Lauren DeStefano
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I was hoping Fever would be better than Wither, but unfortunately, it was worse.

Rhine was a slightly better character than she was in the first book, but she still had her annoying moments, and she was still very naive!

The other thing i was hoping for in this book was finding out about the virus more. It really annoyed me when it wasn't really explained in the last one, and it annoyed me even more that it wasn't explained in this one.

The pacing was quite slow, so i was really bored. I kept thinking "is this going to pick up soon?" but it never did!

Overall, slow, dull, and still left my questions from book one unanswered.

City of Heavenly Fire By Cassandra Clare

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.25

City of Heavenly Fire was a lot better than City of Lost Souls, but i didn't love it.

Most of the characters really annoyed me in the last book, but they were a lot better in this one!
I'm glad they went back to being like they were in the first three books.

I was quite bored by chapter 5, and i felt like that for a while.
It did pick up after a few chapters, but i didn't start liking it until the last 20% or so.
My favorite part of the book was the the ending, the last two chapters were really good!

Overall, Long and slow, but was an okay end to the series.

Stronger Than You Know By Jolene Perry

Stronger Than You Know by Jolene Perry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

Stronger Than You Know had a few slow patches, but i really liked it!

I really liked Joy, and i loved her new family.
Out of all the characters, my favorite was Rob, so i was really glad when she started to talk to him.
The only one in the family i didn't get along with was Trent, but near the end of the book, he changed, and he grew on me.

The pacing could be quite slow, so there was times where i started to lose interest a bit... but thankfully those parts didn't last very long.

Overall, a really good read.
I'll defiantly be checking out the author's other books!

To All The Boys I've Loved Before By Jenny Han

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

To All the Boys I've Loved Before is defiantly my least favorite Jenny Han book.

All of the characters annoyed me at least once in the book.
Lara Jean and Chris were defiantly the most annoying ones though! Lara could be really immature, and she made so many stupid decisions! As for Chris, i just didn't like her.

The pacing in this was just too slow for me, and i got bored really early on. I wanted the book to end before i had got halfway!
Whenever something actually happened, it was really predictable.

Overall, boring, predictable, and had annoying characters.

Summer's Shadow By Anna Wilson

Summer's Shadow by Anna Wilson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

Unfortunately, i didn't like this one.

I felt sorry for Summer... Having to go live with family you've never met would be awful.
I can't say i liked her though.

The other characters weren't that great either. I either didn't like them, or just found them to be alright.

The pacing was too slow for me, so i got bored really quickly.
It was also too young for me. I'd say it was aimed more at 10-12 year olds.

Overall, too slow and too young.

Living Dead Girl was a disturbing read, which had a really annoying ending.

I felt really sorry for "Alice" Everything she through was horrific! Some of the things Ray did to her made me feel really sick.

The ending was really annoying! Instead of answering questions i had, it left me with more!
I am so annoyed by it! Alice's story deserved a proper ending, but instead, it got cut short. It would have been so much better if we got to see how everything worked out.
