Pride (Shifters #3) By Rachel Vincent

Pride by Rachel Vincent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Actual rating - 3.5

Pride was a good read, but i didn't like it as much as the last two books in the series.

Faythe was an okay character, but i didn't like her as much this time.

The pacing was okay, but i got bored of the trial stuff at times. It was repetitive at times, and for most of it, dull.

Overall, Good, but defiantly not as good as book one.

Rival By Penelope Douglas

Rival by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 3.5

Rival was a decent addition to the series.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Madoc in the first book, and i didn't like him very much in this one either at the start. He grew on my near the end though, but not as much as Jared did in book one.
I know him and Fallon aren't actually related, but i still found their relationship to be quite weird because of their connection to each other.

There was a few parts in this that were quite slow, but thankfully they didn't last too long, so i didn't get bored.

Overall, an okay read, but not as good as book one.

Melt By Selene Castrovilla

MELT by Selene Castrovilla
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 2.5

MELT was an okay read, but it dragged at times.

Dorothy and Joey were both okay characters, but i didn't love them. I did feel sorry for Joey and his mum though, as the situation they were in was horrible.

Joey's chapters were quite confusing at first, as they were written in verse, and his thought's were all over the place. After a few chapters though, i got used to it, and i understood why it was written that way.

Apart from Dorothy being called Dorothy, and each part named something like "The great Oz" i didn't see how this was a retelling of the wizard of oz - even after reading the Q&A at the end.

The ending was left open, and it really annoyed me. It left me with so many questions!

Overall, an okay read, but slow, and had an annoying ending.

Truly, Madly, Deadly By Hannah Jayne

Truly, Madly, Deadly by Hannah Jayne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Truly, Madly, Deadly was an okay read, but it had a few slow patches.

Sawyer was an alright character, and i felt sorry for her. What she was going through was horrible, and what her "admirer" was doing for her was quite creepy.

The pacing was a little too slow for me in this, so there were times where i was bored.

I had a feeling who the killer was about halfway, and i guessed correctly. The ending probably would have been a bit better if i didn't guess who it was.

Overall, Okay, but not fantastic.

Love and Other Unknown Variables By Shannon Lee Alexander

Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

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

I didn't enjoy this at all, unfortunately.

I didn't like any of the characters. They all had annoying moments, and they could be quite stupid.
Honestly, all the characters could have died, and i wouldn't have cared.

The pacing in this was slow, and i just couldn't get interested in it.
I wanted this book to end before i'd even gotten to 10%, which is really really bad!

Overall, not impressed.

I Want It That Way By Ann Aguirre

I Want It That Way by Ann Aguirre
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

I Want It That Way was an okay read, but it dragged in places.

Nadia and Ty were both alright characters, but there was a few moments where they were quite stupid.
When Ty explained to Nadia that he didn't want to get involved with anyone sexually or romantically because of Sam, she agreed with him... but then she started to cuddle him and play with his hair. When you're both attracted to each other, but it can't happen, that's the last thing you want to do!

The pacing to this was quite slow at the start, and it didn't really improve until the last 20% or so. There was a few parts where i felt bored because of that.

Overall, an okay read, but a bit slow.

The Break-Up Artist By Philip Siegel

The Break-Up Artist by Philip Siegel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Break-Up Artist was an okay read, but it took a while to get going.

I can't make up my mind about Becca. She was an okay character a lot of the times, but other times i found her really really annoying.
I thought it was a bit silly that she was breaking up couples, but i could understand why she wanted to do it.
At one point, she wasn't a very good friend, and it really annoyed me how she went behind her back like that.

This started out rather slow, and i felt quite bored. It picked up in the second half, but i still wasn't loving it.

Overall, an okay read.

Until You By Penelope Douglas

Until You by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Until You started out okay, but i lost interest.

I really liked Bully, but this one dragged. There was very few new parts, so it felt like i was rereading the first. Since i only read the first a few days ago, it bored me.

Jared was a horrible character in book one, but i did start liking him at the end. In this one though, i thought he was worse.

Overall, Alright, but repetitive, and not as enjoyable as book one.

Frozen started out okay, but i lost interest.

Nat had a few annoying moments, but other than that she was an alright character.

This did start out pretty good, but it started to drag in the middle so i got bored. It did pick up again near the end, but i just couldn't get interested in it again unfortunately.

Overall, An okay read, but it dragged.

Let's Get Lost By Adi Alsaid

Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 2.5

Let's Get Lost wasn't a book for me.

The characters all had different personalities, and were completely different to each other. I can't say i liked any of them though.
Out of all of them, my least favorite character was Bree. She was nuts! The things she did were either illegal, or just plain stupid.

There was so many ridiculous things in this, and i was getting seriously annoyed by them by the time i got halfway. Most of these things were done by Bree, but the other characters all contributed.

Overall, Ridiculous, Crazy, and had annoying characters.

August and Noah were both okay characters, but i didn't love them.
I didn't really like their romance either.

The pacing was alright, but i'm glad this was only a short read, because it would have started to drag if it was any longer.

Overall, An okay short story.

Bully By Penelope Douglas

Bully by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bully was a good read.

I liked Tate.
Bullying is awful, and since it was her old best friend that was doing it to her made it even worse. I really liked it when she started to stand up to him, and some of the things she did to get him to stop what he was doing were quite clever!

I hated Jared at first because he was being awful to Tate, so it was really surprising that i actually started to like him at the end!

Overall, a good NA book.

Day 21 was an okay read, but i didn't like it as much as book one.

The characters from the last one were alright, but again, i didn't like them as much as i did in book one. There was a few new characters in this, but i didn't love them either.

I really liked the first one, and was expecting to really like this one as well, but unfortunately, it just didn't grab me.
It's not an awful book, it just wasn't as enjoyable.

Overall, An okay read.

Where You'll Find Me By Erin Fletcher

Where You'll Find Me by Erin Fletcher
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Where You'll Find Me was a good read.

Hanley and Nate were both good characters, and i really liked them.
I had my suspicions on what Nate did, but i wanted to know for sure, so the suspense of it was driving me crazy.
I had my suspicions with Hanley too, but again, i wanted to know for sure. Her secret was revealed earlier though, so it wasn't quite so bad!

Overall, a good contemporary read.

Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 2.5

I didn't like this one as much as the authors other books.

Britt annoyed me plenty of times.
She said things she shouldn't have, When offered a pair of dry socks from her captor (her socks were soaking wet) she refused because she wanted to make a stand. (She obviously wasn't worried about frostbite!) and was just generally annoying.

The pacing in this was too slow, so it dragged.
I wanted to know what happened, but i wanted to be done with the book more.

Overall, Disappointing.

The Life You Left by Carmel Harrington
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 3.25

This started out really good, but then it started to drag.

Sarah was a strong character, and i liked her.
She was a good mum, and i really liked the relationship she had with her brother.

I hated Paul. I kept thinking that he couldn't get worse, but he always did!

I really liked this to start with, but it started to drag at 40%.
It got better near the end, but the slow patch lasted so long that it didn't really revive the story for me.

Overall, A good read, but the huge slow patch wrecked it.

Scorched started out okay, but i lost interest.

The characters weren't awful, but i can't say i liked them.
They had plenty of annoying moments, and Verity constantly thinking "I'm ugly" got on my nerves.

I liked the first two chapters, but the rest was quite dull.
The pacing was too slow. It dragged, and dragged, and i thought the book would never end!

Overall, Alright, but way too slow.

The Hit By Allen Zadoff

The Hit by Allen Zadoff
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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

Actual rating - 2.5

The Hit started out okay, but i lost interest.

The main character was alright, but i can't say i loved him.
In the first half he was an interesting character, but in the second half he annoyed me. He went from having no feelings at all so he could get to his target and do his job quickly and professionally, to not doing his job because of his feelings for another person. The character change just felt a bit sudden.

The first 25% was quite good, but after that it started to get dull. After around 60%, i just wanted to finish it.

Overall, an okay read, but went downhill in the second half.

The Taking By Kimberly Derting

The Taking by Kimberly Derting
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Taking was an okay read, but it dragged.

I liked Kyra.
There was one moment where she was quite naive, but other that she was fine. She defiantly wasn't as bad as Violet Ambrose! (The Body Finder)

I was a bit worried about the romance at first, as it was a bit weird! After a while though, i started to like them together.

The start of this was really good, but after a few chapters it started to drag. It did pick up again, but not until near the end.

Overall, good, but had a huge slow patch.

Extras By Scott Westerfeld

Extras by Scott Westerfeld
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Extras wasn't as good as the previous books.

It was slightly weird following another character since it's been about Tally up until now, but i got used to it after a bit.
It took me a while to warm to Tally, and the same went for Aya.

I found the pacing in the previous books to be quite slow, and this one was the same.

Overall, an okay read, but not as good as the others.

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Unbreakable was an okay read, but it dragged a lot of the time.

Kennedy wasn't an awful character, but she wasn't a good one either.
She moaned about not fitting in throughout the whole book, which got annoying after a while.

The first few chapters of this were quite good, but after that it started to drag.
There was a few creepy bits throughout the book that i liked, but there wasn't many of them, and they didn't last long. I spent the majority of the rest of the book bored unfortunately.

Overall, Alright, but too slow.

Unspoken By Sarah Rees Brennan

Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Unspoken was a bit too slow for me.

I didn't really like any of the characters.
Kami had loads of annoying moments, and walked into things without thinking about the dangers. Jared was also really annoying, and Angela was just rude.

The pacing in this was just way too slow for me. I wanted the book to end by the time i got halfway.

Overall, Slow, Dull, and had no likable characters.

Everything Leads to You By Nina LaCour

Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Everything Leads to You was boring.

The characters were alright, but i can't say that i really liked them.

This book was a waste of time really. The majority of it was just about Emi and Charlotte finding places/things for different movies, and Emi reminding Ava who her grandfather was.

Overall, Uneventful, Boring, Waste of time.

Pieces of You By Ella Harper

Pieces of You by Ella Harper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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

Pieces of You was an emotional read.

Lucy was a really strong character.
The poor girl just couldn't catch a break. Going through one miscarriage would be horrible, but to go through as many as she did, and then have to go through all the other bad things that happened to her would be awful. I don't know how she found the strength to get out of bed, let alone do anything else.

The ending to this was really sad, but it was also quite nice.
It wasn't a happy ever after, but it gave me hope that everyone involved could work through everything that happened.

Overall, a good read about a difficult journey.

Grace was an okay character, but i didn't love her.
The other characters were the same, i liked them, but didn't love them.

The mystery in this was great.
I'd think the killer was one person, then change my mind, then change it again! When the killer was revealed at the end, it was someone who i didn't even suspect.

Overall, A great read.

I liked most of the characters, but it took me a while to warm to some of them.

It was quite confusing at first as there were loads of POV'S, but once i got used to it it was fine.
The pacing could be kind of slow at times, but it didn't make me enjoy it any less, thankfully.

Get Happy was a fun read.

I really liked Minerva, and her best friend Fin. They were both really funny, and i loved their friendship!
There was one part where Minerva was quite mean, but it didn't last very long, so it didn't make me like her any less.

There was lots of little moments in this that made me laugh, and the story flew by because of it. It didn't take me long to read at all!

The ending to this was really cute, even if it did end quite abruptly.

Overall, a cute, fun read.

The Sea of Tranquility felt a lot longer than what it was.

Nastya and Josh were both okay characters, but i couldn't warm to them enough to really like them.

This started out okay, but it started to drag after a few chapters.
I really want to know what happened to Nastya, but i lost interest with every chapter. By the halfway mark, i was more interested in getting to end than finding out what happened!

Overall, Okay, but would have been a lot better if it wasn't so long.

Savage Drift was the worst one in the series.

After the Robbie incident in book one, i really thought they would learn from their mistakes, but they kept on making them over and over again!

There was more action, but most of that came from the characters being stupid, so i don't think it was much of an improvement really!

Overall, Alright, but the characters were dumb.

Monument 14 was an okay read, but a lot of it dragged.

Dean wasn't very clever.
He had one "problem" that was very easy to sort out, but he didn't realize how until a child told him! He had loads more stupid moments, but the level of stupidity of that one shocked me.

The pacing was a bit too slow for me, and from around 15% - 75% nothing happened, so it really dragged.

Overall, Slow and uneventful, but not the worst apocalyptic i've read this year.

Since You've Been Gone was an okay read, i just wish it didn't drag as much!

I felt sorry for Emily. Finding out your only friend had upped and left, and didn't tell you where she was going would not be a very nice situation to be in.

If more had happened, or the book wasn't as long, i probably would have liked this more.
When things happened, they got dragged out too much, so something that was alright would turn dull really quickly.

Iron Pendulum was an okay read, but there was times where it dragged.

I really liked the characters the first time i read Steel Lily, but when i reread it prior to reading this, i didn't like them as much.
Unfortunately, the same goes for this one. I just couldn't warm to them enough to like them as much as i did before.

There was one character that drove me up the wall - Dana. She said "Baby girl" about five times in two pages, and then kept saying either "Baby girl", "Baby boy", "Baby" or "Child" throughout the book. It gets really annoying after the tenth time!

The last 15% was good, but the rest of it was quite slow, so there was a few times where i felt bored.

I did forget quite a bit of what happened, since it was about a year ago that i read this. A lot of it come back to me after i read a few chapters, and i remembered the twist, so it obviously wasn't as shocking when i read it.
