Fire & Flood Review

Author: Victoria Scott
Series: (Fire & Flood #1)
Format: ebook
Page:305
Rating: 5/5
Summary:
This is told by Tella and her race to save her dying brother by going into a race called the Brimstone Bleed. The winner of these race get the cure for the illness for a sick family member. Tella joins other contenders to race through four different ecosystems to win the cure with a special help from things called Pandora's. Alliance's will be made but who can you really trust when everyone is going toward the same goal?
My Thoughts:
    This is my first read in May and its a great start to the month. This book is so addicting with it's fast past that its hard to put down. This is very adventure based with bits of romance rolled in and that's very rare in young adult and it was good to see. This book also give you plenty of plot twist that you don't see coming and end up going "WTF."
    Now character wise I pretty much loved the group that Tella alliance herself with and what they bring into the group. They all weary of each other but they still stuck together you would hope until the end. Tella herself as a character I actual liked her, because if I was just dropped off in the middle of a forest or desert I would act the same. Also if I can have a guy like Guy in the race I would total be on his side. For the fact that he is the to go to survivor man he can hunt for food, know what fruits are good, shelter, and just a mysterious guy.
    This book as a whole makes me want to  buy a physical copy of it and have the next book so that I can just know what's going to happen next. Highly recommend if you enjoy survivor and fast paced books, and expect not to get any sleep while reading. You been warn. 

April Wrap Up

   5 books in total read this month and though it's not the best I'll take it. The 5 books I read where:

     -the fault in our stars (TFIOS) by John Green is a 5/5 stars. It was a great emotion driven book and I couldn't put it down. The ending was a surprise and though I didn't cry it broke my heart all the same. This was my first John Green book and it won't be my last. 

      -City of Ashes & City of Glass book 2 and book 3 in Cassandra Clare Mortal Instrument series. I gave both books a 5/5 stars and let me just say I love these books. There was action and a lot of hate on my part for those damn Inquisitors. But on the other side of that relationships finally clicked together and I loved that. 

       - Eleven On Top by Janet Evanovich is part 11 in the Stephanie Plum series. These books are pure entertaining with funny characters, situations, and a love triangle that can be frustrating yet fun to watch. Which is why I keep going on in this never ending series. 

      -Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins was the most disappointing read this month. I gave it a 3/5 and the reason being Harper frustrated the hell out of me. That's all am saying since I already wrote a review on it and don't want to began a ramble. 

  That's it for last month and other than Rebel Belle I enjoyed all the books I read even though it don't seem like a lot. In the month of May am hoping thanks to some readathons that my reading will approve. Well just have to wait and see. 

     Hope everyone had a good reading month last month and another one this month. Happy reading :)

 

Rebel Belle Review

By: Rachel Hawkins 

Publisher: Penguin 

Page #: 352

Rating: 3/5

Summary: Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him--and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.

              -Goodreads

My Thoughts: I was really looking forward to this book when I first read the summary. However once I started I couldn't just wait until it was done. I think the biggest problem was that it was to girly for me. I couldn't relate to Harper and I just wanted to shake her half the time. She was trying so hard to being prefect that she couldn't see things when there happening right in front of her. I did enjoy Mary Beth though I liked how she was more of a normal character to me. The aunts we're also three characters that I liked for their humor alone. I also liked David he went to his own beat and I respect him for that. 

It wasn't just the characters that made me not like the story so much the plot itself wasn't there. It just dragged on for me with little bits of action mixed in. There seemed to be more about teenage drama then anything. The only  part I loved was the last three chapters. I got all the action I want a good twist then it ended. I don't think I will be buying the rest of the series when it comes out. More likely burrowing them from the library if I really want to continue on.

Didn't even come close to my goals it didn't help that I didn't read for like three days in a row. Total failed but it happens haven't been in an overly reading mood so that of course doesn't help anything. I've read 245 books plus listened the audible book for a couple of hours. I didn't complete any of the books I started during this, and now I have a lot of unfinished books to add to my list. And only completed one challenge at the very beginning. 

I don't know what's been up with me I just can't though a book to save my life it may be because am so tired all the time. Whatever it is I hope to get over it so I can enjoy my books again.
