Oppostion by Jennifer L.Armentrout

Wow, just wow. This is the last book in the Lux Series and it was absolutely amazing! I feel like I need to take a breather after finishing that!

"I always had this plan for the off chance I was around for the end of the world. I’d climb up on my roof top, turn up the radio, blast R.E.M.’s It’s The End of The World, and watch it all go down from my lofty perch."

Well there it is, it's the end of the world as we know it and a few choice things have definitely hit the fan! With the arrival of the Luxen and Daemon's abrupt leave Katy has never felt more alone. All she can do is wait and hope. But waiting is something Katy was never good at. She soon finds herself facing off against foes that have the ability to destroy everything Katy has ever known. 

“Kat.” He uttered my name like it was some kind of prayer, and then he pressed a kiss against the skin behind my ear. “I broke every rule of my kind to heal you and keep you with me. I … burned down an entire city to keep you safe. I’ve killed for you. Did you think I’d forget what you mean to me? That anything in this world— in any world— would be stronger than my love for you?”

Oh the feels! Seriously there was so much chemistry going on during this book. Daemon has become one of my Top 5 book boyfriends after this. Even though I kinda wanted to slap him at the start! Thank God he had good reasons for it though!

This book was engaging, heart breaking, heart re-making and so much more. The plot was interesting and serious but still kept up the light-hearted banter between characters especially Archer and Luke who become key participants in the book. The characters themselves were perfectly constructed. You liked the people you were supposed to like and disliked the people you were supposed to dislike. And the disliked people? Ya I just wanted to punch, slap and karate chop them with a passion! We also get to see some very special characters when Kat and Co are forced to team up with an unlikely ally. 

“We could really use the Avengers right about now."

"Screw that. We need Loki," Daemon retorted.

General Eaton arched a brow. "Well, unfortunately, the Marvel Universe isn't real, so...”

Gah!!! The humor throughout the book is so good! I wish I could share all the funny, sarcastic quotes that I can find but I can't so you're just going to have to read the book!! But please go read it if you haven't you won't regret it!! But I will leave you one last quote! 

“What the hell, man?” Dawson exploded, hands flying up. “I was on level sixty-nine of Candy Crush, you bastard. Do you know how hard that—?”

Fallen too far by Abbi Glines

Fallen too far by Abbi Glines.

I was ready to scream at the ending of this book! Literally my review on Goodreads was 'You don't finish a book like that.'

This book has everything us hopeless romantics love - broken characters, a drool-worthy boy, secrets (tones and tones!) and of course the typical money difference between the main characters. 

"I can't believe I just begged a female to sit and talk to me."

Rush, god dammit that boy is beautiful from his biceps to his heart, even if not many can see it. 

Blaire (B, reminds me of Gossip Girl) is stunning but most of all she's a beautiful person inside. 

I didn't expect to get drawn into this book like I did. Blaire's attitude drew me and Rush's secrets kept me engrossed from beginning to end. Half way through the book I knew what the secret was yet I still somehow kept reading, waiting for the explosive secret to be revealed. 

“I don't need designer things. And YOU are designer, Rush.”

Nan, pissed me off. Abe, her father annoyed the hell into me and well Grant I adored. It's a complicated world you have entered when you read this book. Everyone is connected somehow it's just all so confusing. 

Nan was Rush's younger sister and she was a complete bitch. I don't even care if I'm meant to keep this Pg because there really isn't a pg word for her attitude. She was stuck up and couldn't appreciate what she had in life, after all she had everything she had as much money as she needed (from her brother) to last a lifetime and well you know what she should of simply made use of the of all the good stuff and forgotten the bad like normal people? Maybe turned her life around - actually done something with it instead of sitting around being a complete stuck-up cow. 

I'm not even going to bother talking about Abe you'll all understand my annoyance at him when you read the book as for Grant he made me smile at the most parts. He was beautifully sweet and good natured. To me he was one of my favorite secondary characters in this book apart from Bethy of course.  

The relationships that form between each and every one of the characters in this book I loved. From the relationship Blaire had with Grant to the way Rush treated Nan was something special altogether. I loved reading every part of this book. Especially seeing the way Rush and Blaire's relationship grew overtime.  

“You naked in my bed is even more unbelievably beautiful than I thought it would be... and trust me I've thought about it. A lot.”

I can't review this book without bringing up basically the major scenes from beginning to end. 

And those scenes were the beautifully written, absolutely go-crazy for smut scenes that I must say I wish I could get the chance to experience. 

As someone who likes to write smut now and again I was literally in awe while reading these scenes. Abbi isn't the best writer I have come across but her way of putting forward those steamy parts were something I would thank the lord to be blessed with. She did it in a way that you weren't cringing while reading them and yet they were also so believable. She didn't write the losing of Blaire's virginity like some authors do in a way that's nothing but unrealistic and disgusting. She wrote it with sweetness and honesty. 

I would gladly read a whole book of sex written by Glines. 

"Everyone always said that love was enough. It wasn't. Not when your soul was shattered.”

This book made me cry. It made me laugh out loud and smile. While also totally turning me on like all good smut scenes should! I loved this book from beginning to end. 

The ending made me so angry though, because damn I was praying that they would just have a simple ending full of butterflies and rainbows but nope when do I ever get my happy ending? Not even in books it seems anymore. I was going to take a break before reading the next book in this series but I just read the first few pages and seems like my heart won't be allowing me to gather all my thoughts. I shall start asap!

When I tell you to go read this book listen to me, I don't know how the rest of this series will go but damn this book to me was perfection and in some ways the ending may of not been happy ever after (yet? I still have faith.) but in some ways the most beautiful writers don't write a fairy tale ending.

Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles

Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles. 

Derek Fitzpatrick. Tall, dark and handsome. 

Ashtyn Park. Smallish, blonde and cute. 

Except she plays American football and well he doesn't have one single goal in his life. 

“I never believed in love at first sight, until I met Derek. It's all-consuming and delicious and wonderful and exciting. At the same time, it makes me nervous and self-conscious and emotional. Love exists. I know it does, because I'm madly, deeply, hopelessly in love.”

Everyone Ashtyn has ever loved has left. Her mother, her sister and even though her father never left he might aswell with the way he acts around her. She's a broken girl with a passion and love for American football. Against all odds she plays on her school team and is respected by all. 

Derek has just been suspended from boarding school after playing a rather brilliantly epic prank. With his father being in the navy (or whatever you call underwater soldier dudes). He has to move in with his step-mom and her little boy. They decide it's time to move home to a place they know or at least she knows. With that Derek has to leave aswell. 

“Because I'm tryin' to push you away when all I want to do is hold you. I know you say you don't want a hero, but damn I'd like to be that guy who'll save you from spiders and whatever and whoever else hurts you.”

The journey they both go on in this book is one that is very beautiful. They learn about themselves by learning about each other. They face their ups and downs but some how manage to get through them all. 

This book was your typical romance with it's twist. But I was in love with it. 

The book gets 3 out of 5 stars from me. It loses two because the writing wasn't perfect and the story although engrossing was one I don't find myself wanting to rant about how much you need to pick it up. 

“This attitude means you haven't met a girl worthy of your attention. You'll want to get caught if the right girl comes along.”
