Liebster Award

I was sat in my aunts spare room, taking advantage of her Netflix when I was looking through my email to find I had a comment on our 'Take Me On' post. Of course the first thing to come to my head was "Oh my god we're getting comments ahhh," but then I see something so much better than that. We got nominated for the Liebster Award. To be honest I don't think either of us had any clue what this award was but after reading the post on YaBookaholic123 (who was also the one to nominate us, which I have to say a massive thank you to!) I realized what the award is all about. This award is to help make a name for a blog that may have just started up. Anyways enough with the rambling lets get down to business! 

Rules:

• List 11 facts about yourself.
• Answer the 11 questions asked by whoever nominated you.
• Nominate 9 bloggers with less than 300 followers and leave them a comment saying they've been nominated.
• Ask 11 new questions for your chosen nominees.

The 11 Facts about us: 

• Not sure if any of you knew this but there is two writers on this blog! Myself, Gráinne (Grawn-ya) and one of my closest friends and fellow bookworm Méabh (May-v). 
• We Both live in the western part of Ireland and attend an Irish (Ireland's national language but not widely spoken here) speaking school. 
• Méabh does Thai Boxing, a mixed martial art and I play Rugby, like American Football but better! 
• We're both massive Jennifer L. Armentrout and Katie McGarry fans. Well Méabh introduced me to the wonderful world of their writing. 
• Méabh likes the Twilight movies, but doesn't like the books as she thinks vampires are so over-rated. As for me I'm a massive fan of the Twilight books and The Saga of Darren Shan, so basically I do love a good vampire tale. 
• If you ever need someone to clear your house out of food, just call me and Méabh. It is our one true love, apart from hot drool worthy characters of course! 
• We're getting stuck for facts now so here is a random one! We both have dogs. Mine is called Tigger and Méabh's is called Gypsy. 
• I went to see One Direction play live in Croker on the 24th of May. It was a night i'll never forget! Méabh went to see Lawson back in October. At the Olympia Theatre, up in Dublin. We both love our music, I'm a big reggae and rock fan. While Méabh loves a bit the old country and alternative music. 
• My favourite animal is a cheetah, always has and always will be. Not even sure why, there is just something about them. Méabh's favourite animal is a Giraffe. "Childhood memories of going to the zoo and I would always want to go and see the giraffes first! Giraffes being so tall I always thought that they were the strongest most elegant of the animals because if how they carry themselves and baby giraffes are so cute!"
• I'm a very opinonated girl and could debate with someone all day if necessary. Méabh is a total Adrenaline junkie and shows us all up when it comes to anything remotely scary. 
• Méabh hates books where the main character has a terminal illness yet she once wrote a short story about a girl's terminally ill sister. As for me, I don't mind them. I loved My Sister's keeper but hated The fault in our stars, due to John Green's style of writing.

The Answers to your hard Questions: 

If you could choose one book world to live in, which one would it be? 

Gráinne: Jennifer L. Armentrout in my mind right now. The Lux and The Covenant Series Worlds, but then I also am here like if I was to truly want to be in a certain world I think it would be Harry Potter's. The whole Witches and Wizards thing just clicks with me.
Méabh: Ya I'm thinking Luxen and Covenent Worlds as well but I think I'd like to be apart of the Shadowhunter World!

What's next on your to read list?

Gráinne: I have about 100 books on my to read list on goodreads but in my head there is about a thousand more. I can be a fast reader when I want but sometimes I just can't get into books at all. So I can't tell you what's next 'cause it could be the most random book ever. 

Méabh: I haven't read Take Me On by Katie McGarry yet so that would be the next book to read! I'm a really fast reader so I'm always thinking about 5 books ahead of my next one!

If you were stranded on a desert island and you could wish for one character to appear to give you company, who would it be?

Gráinne: This is so hard but I'm going to pick a girl and boy character for this. I don't even know if that is against the rules but hey! I'd pick Alex from The Covenant Series as the girl I'd want but to be honest the boy I'd pick would be Isaiah from Crash Into You, The Pushing the limits series! So damn hot! 

Méabh: Hhhhmmm I'd have to say Roth from White Hot Kiss because I mean who wouldn't want to stranded on a desert island with him!

What is your favourite supernatural/fantasy creature, vampire, werewolf, dragons etc?

Gráinne: Ohhh, Blame Méábh for my never-ending talk about Katie McGarry and Jennifer L.Armentrout's. My favourite supernatural/fantasy creature type thing is the greek gods. Do they count? Or like Half-bloods?hmm... Basically Aiden St. Delphi the things I'd do to him! 

Méabh: Fallen Angels! Love them all!

What is your most favourite item that you have?

Gráinne: I should say my books, and I can't even think of any items anyways.. so ya my books! 

Méabh: I'd have to say my Kindle. I bring it everywhere with me!

What is the last book to movie you have watched? Was it good?

Gráinne: Ehm, god my mind has gone pure blank! Right now Marley and Me is coming to my mind. The Boy in the striped pyjamas is in there. oh I know it was Divergent and I watched that with the wonderful Méabh! Oh god that movie was beautiful! Man, it was god damn - awh, Theo James! 

Méabh: The last book to movie I watched was Divergent and like Grainne said I watched it with her! It was amazing! One of the best book adaptions I've seen so far! And the chemistry between the characters was so good!!

Have you ever met any authors?

Gráinne: I live in the one of the most known yet most unvisited Islands in the world, Ireland. So no authors tend to come here, unless it's Dublin and well that's too far away for me! 

Méabh: Unfortunately no I haven't but it would be a dream come true to meet some!

Best book you've read so far in 2014?

Gráinne: Take Me On! Even though I have also read the Covenant Series this year and the Lux Series and god they were just as good but as just one book it has to be Take Me On! 

Méabh: Oh My God that's really hard but I'd have to say the best book I've read so far in 2014 would have to be TMI City of Heavenly Fire!

What is the book you can't wait to read the most?

Gráinne: Opposition ahhhh! I'm so excited and then Breaking the Rules - the continuation of Echo and Noah's story. 

Méabh: I absolutely can not wait for Penryn ad the End of Days #3 by Susan Ee. It doesn't have a title yet but if the book is anything like the first two it's going to be amazing!

What is your favourite quote?

Gráinne: It's a new found quote but it is the most beautiful quote I have ever come around. "We were nothing more than actions to reactions - helpless against our own fate." - From Take Me On, Pushing the Limits Series. 

Méabh: There are so many great quotes to choose from but I love this one "The bottom line is,what defines you isn't how many times you crash, but the number of times you get back on the bike. As long as it's one more, you're all good." - Sarah Dessen

What is the first book that comes to your mind?

Gráinne: Damaged, okay I lie! But it's the book I'm reading at the moment. Not YA though! It's fact based! Very sad! 

Méabh: Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry. That book kinda started my obsession with anything book related. Don't know why but I got really into books after that one!

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare

“Temper us in fire, and we grow stronger. When we suffer, we survive.”

 So here it is, the highly anticipated conclusion to the out-standing Mortal Instruments Series. City of Heavenly Fire was one hell of a roller coaster. When I finished it, it took me a while for everything to sink in. It's a big book with over seven hundred pages but after about a hundred pages I was becoming an emotional wreck!

This story takes place a couple of weeks after the events of City of Lost Souls and the Shadowhunters are anxiously waiting for Sebastian to make his next move. With nothing to do but wait the gang try to help Jace control the Heavenly Fire that is still coursing through his veins from Glorious. 

“And like lambs to a slaughter we shall follow...”

When Sebastian does make his move, he along with his army of Endarkened (Shadowhunters who drank from the Infernal Cup) start to attack Institutes around the world. This is where we are introduced to Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn, the main characters of Cassie's upcoming trilogy 'The Dark Artifices' which is set in the Los Angeles Institute. They along with the rest of the Blackthorn family barely escape the attack on the Los Angeles Institute. 

Because of these attacks Shadowhunters everywhere are forced to abandon their homes and return to Idris. There Sebastian makes it known what he wants and states what will happen if those demands are not met. Because of this and more Jace, Clary and the rest of the gang head to a place where no one has ever returned in an attempt to stop Sebastian and to rescue certain people. Everyone is tested to their limits and it is sure to leave all its readers breathless and craving more.  Don't want to give too much away!

“Okayyyyy,” Isabelle said in a low voice, “When did Brother Zachariah get hot?”

We also get a little insight into what happened after the events of the Infernal Devices but I won't go into that right now!

The plot in this story was well written and compelling but will keep you guessing until the end. All the characters retained their main personality traits like someones sarcasm, someones nerdiness and of course someones glitteriness!

“Freely we serve

Because we freely love, as in our will

To love or not; in this we stand or fall."

Cassie has outdone herself in this final conclusion to the best selling series. With just the right amount of romance and action it will keep you up wanting more!

Take Me On by Katie McGarry

The fourth installment to the Pushing the Limits series that literally just keeps getting better and better. 

"We were nothing more than actions to reactions - helpless against our own fate."

This is West and Hayley's story. West is Rachel's, from Crash Into you, older brother and Hayley is the girl that's about to teach him how to fight with his head not just his heart.

In the words of Katie McGarry West is a hot-mess and I totally love it. He has been giving everything growing up except the one thing he needed most, belonging. Hayley at the start of this book is hard to understand, you know in the past she would of said exactly what was on her mind but everything has changed since the night she was she broke.

“I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you and I don't know how to make you feel better. I'm in love with you and I shouldn't be. I'm in love with you and once you figure out who I am, you're not going to love me. I'm in love with you and I seem to fuck up the ones who love me back.”

Katie tackles many serious dilemmas in the world at the moment in this book and she really gets across the emotions in which West and Hayley experience.

West goes from having it all to living in his car, which is still better than some but it is what it is. He's homeless and he must learn to survive without having everything handed to him on a plate. I've never seen a character grow up so much in just one book. He changed from a boy to man and it was one of the best things that could of ever happened to him. 

As for Hayley she learns the true meaning to the saying 'a problem shared, is a problem halved.' The girl has so much weight on her shoulders and all she does is keep putting more and more on top of them. She used to fight, she used to love to fight. It was what could take her away from everything, but Hayley lost that the day she stopped fighting the demons inside and let them take over. So much changes for Hayley, she comes back to reality and it's one of the sweetest moments when you realize she's about to start fighting for herself again and not just the people she cares about. 

Somewhere along the line West and Hayley stopped fighting for what they wanted, what mattered. They lost there way and with each others help they will set each other back on the right path. 

West will prove to Hayley she is worth fighting for, and Hayley will prove to West he isn't just some failure. 

“You say you don’t know who you are,” adds Rachel. “But the question should be—who do you want to be?”

There is always a heart shattering moment in Katie's stories and even though all I ever want to do is keep reading I always have to stop and tell myself, "This will work out, it has too." That moment in this book was when West's father presented him with the chance to give Hayley a future except West would have to do what he wasn't sure he could. That scene broke my heart into a million pieces and god I realized that I never truly knew how much I hated the Young's parents in Crash Into you but I surely learnt how much in Take Me on. 

But while hating on two family members I fell in love with two others, Hayley's brother Kaden and cousin Jax and god if I don't get a book about either of them I may have to come to your house Katie and force you to write me one. I think someone has stolen my heart, just like Isaiah did all those books ago and that award goes to Jax. 

Even though West stood up for Hayley from the very beginning, I love that Kaden and Jax always fought for her. Yes they made mistakes, they let her evil uncle call her all sorts, they let him look down on her and treat her like shit but they did that for the right reasons. They love Hayley and Hayley loves them much more than they'll ever know, she loves them so much she gave up them up - just so they'd never have to get hurt. 

Abby had a massive role in Take Me On and I swear Katie I need that girls story. She's broken, she's a liar but all for the right reasons and she's everything I look for in a character. She deserves her own book, a book about her. Her story, her world, her mistakes, her life. She is so much more than just the drug dealer, she's a girl that just needs to be loved and a way out of the world she has made for herself. 

“I love her, West. She loves me. When you feel like that about someone, you find ways to make it work.”

Katie always seems to get my heart racing and the adrenaline pumping, by her story-lines. When Hayley was sparring with Kayden for the first time in months and West was watching I literally could feel the fear she felt running through my veins. I could feel how West wanted nothing more than to step in and protect her but I also knew deep down she needed to do this and somewhere, somehow he understood that. 

This book gets 5 out of 5 stars from me without fail. As usual I cannot fault Katie's writing or storytelling. I loved West and Hayley from beginning to end and god I would recommend this book, this series, this writer to anyone! I'd recommend you all go check out this addictive series.

The Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Beautiful and outstandingly amazing Covenant Series

"The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals--well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures."

Gods where do I start.

This series stole my heart, chewed it up, spat it out and then put it back together all at once.

Alex was everything I look for in a modern day heroine Sarcastic, Independent, Beautiful, Bitchy, Loud, Sweet, Charming, Honest, Annoying etc. etc. etc. 

As for Aiden, gods he was nothing less than a drool worthy boy. Never in my years of reading have I come across more of a selfless character with such a beautiful heart. He didn't have a bad bone in his body and I fell head over heels in love with him for that.

And then we have Seth, the Apollyon as beautiful as a sculpture on the outside yet as messed up as my room on the inside. I wanted to hate Seth so many times throughout this series yet it was impossible. Really all he needed was for someone to just love him. 

"Gods were like possums. You could go your whole life without seeing one, but once you found one of them, you found the whole freaky family.”

This book is of course about Greek Mythology so it goes without saying I should probably introduce you all to the gods, well the main gods in this series. 

Apollo the god of prophecy, music, intellectual pursuits, healing, plague and the sun. He is the main god within this series. During the first few books he appears as a normal person, someone close that can keep an eye on everything that is happening.

Hades the god of the underworld, death and the dead. We meet Hades a lot throughout the last few books in this series. I found I liked Hades, there was something about him that made me want to see more of him. Hades shows up almost as much as Apollo in the last book, Sentinel.

We also see alot of other gods but I won't go into them as I don't want to give away too much. Let's just say Apollo and Hades are my favourite gods within this series. 

“Two people see each across a room or their skin brushes. Their souls recognize the person as their own. It doesn't need time to figure it. The soul always knows... whether it's right or wrong.”

In Daimon, Alex finds her mother has been murdered by a daimon and so she starts her journey back to the only place she ever really felt at home. The Covenant, but she'll soon find out why her mother took her away all those years ago and what fate has in store for the girl with the attitude. 

At the start of Half-blood Alex is saved by the one boy she never thought she'd see again. Aiden St.Delphi. Alex has had a crush on Aiden from the first time her eyes lay upon him. There's one problem she's a half-blood and he's a pure. The one rule Alex can never break is the breed order, but what happens when the only thing that could save her is a Pure's love? 

When Seth shows up in Half-blood it's obvious that he has a massive role in Alex's future but the question is why and how? Jennifer's writing and storytelling throughout these two books really capture you, and take you into a world you could never return from. 

“Ever since I’ve met you, I’ve wanted to break every rule.” Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. “You’ll become the centre of someone’s world one day. And he’ll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth.”

Pure is the book where this series starts to get complicated to review as I don't want to give away too much. Alex has just found out what she is destined to become. Jennifer uses her beautiful words to make us feel everything Alex is feeling. This is the book when readers start to split between team Seth and team Aiden, but let's be honest here there is only one man for Alex and that is Aiden St.Delphi.

Deity is the book in which we discover which is stronger love or faith. Jennifer does not let us down from the start to the finish of this book. At every turn there is another obstacle for Alex to overcome but the biggest obstacle for her is yet to come at the end of this book.

“Alex, you have to be in there. I know you. My

heart would not be beating if you were truly gone.”

Elixir is probably my favourite book out of this whole series. It is not necessary to read this book but I do recommend it. Jenn's writing in Aiden's point of view really stole my heart and I think it would make anyone a Team Aiden fangirl. Aiden faces so many different emotions throughout this book and we really get an insight into how his mind works.

“But it was Seth's decision, and it cannot be undone. And when you go topside in six months, you should find him and thank him."

Apollyon and Sentinel oh man. If I had ten hands I still wouldn't have enough fingers to count how many times I cried throughout these two books alone.

I fell in love with Seth all over again in Sentinel. And while I'm on the topic as Seth let me just say, I cannot wait till Seth's story. Seth showed his true side in Sentinel and how much he cares about Alex.

As for Aiden and Alex my love for them only grew, more and more. The butterflies in my stomach every time Alex and Aiden were around each other were nothing less than real. I fell in love with their love for eachother and that was all down to Jennifer's writing. The twists and turns in these two books broke my heart at times and mended it together during other times.

“Sometimes you have to know when to let hope go.”

Jennifer used Greek Mythology, the modern day world and her own twists to make a world more engrossing  than anything I have ever read before. She made me want to jump right through the pages and into the center of all the action.

This series gets a whole 5 out of 5 for me without fail. It's creative world and engrossing words were nothing less than perfect in my eyes. Also have you ever seen such beautiful covers?! 

"They're going to tell stories about us."

Crash Into You by Katie McGarry

“I can’t give you the world, Rachel, but I’ll give you all I got.”

This is the third installment in the absolutely outstanding Pushing the Limits Series. Katie McGarry has not disappointed with Crash Into You.

This story follows Isaiah Walker, Noah Hutchins best friend from Pushing the Limits. This book delves deeper into Isaiah's life and his fight for survival in a dangerous world. He lives for speed and cars and he survives by never giving anyone the chance to get close to him, never showing weakness. Enter Rachel Young. Beautiful, smart, shy, naive and has a certain obsession with cars. When they meet sparks fly and so begins a hard journey where it's not just their hearts that are on the line but their lives as well.

This book is told from both Isaiah and Rachel's point of view similar to the rest of Katie's books. It completely captivated me from the beginning to end. I have loved Isaiah since the start but this book just sealed the deal! It was fast-paced but was written in a way that wasn't rushed. It still gave you a great story line, the characters still developed and the twists and turns leave your mind reeling.

“Fuck me. God does exist and he sent an angel in a white Mustang to prove it.”

Isaiah and Rachel both love cars. They understand them. They're passionate about them. This passion ultimately starts their story. For Isaiah cars are his calling. They are his ticket to making a life for himself once he ages out of the foster care system. For Rachel cars are an escape. An escape from the shadow of her dead sister. An escape from the pressure of being the perfect daughter and sister. She understands cars more then she understands people. 

Katie's writing has captivated me once again. If I was allowed I would have devoured this book in one sitting but you know school and all! The way she portrayed her characters, how she described the scenes. It was a perfect blend. People might say that it was too fast-paced but it's a book centered around cars and speed. If a book ever needed to be fast-paced it would be this one! 

“I love you, Rachel. So this will work. No matter what or who stands in our way.” 

Rachel and Isaiah. Isaiah and Rachel. I loved them together! They just fit. Of course they were different but none of that mattered to them once they got past the bumps in the road that all couples go through! And some of them were really big. But you're just going to have to read it to find out!

This book really deserves the five stars that its getting. I found it so hard to fault so I just decided not to. If you haven't read this series yet go start now! You won't be disappointed! And don't forget to look out for Katie McGarry's next book Take Me On that's out soon.

World After

“It’s amazing how many times we need to go against our survival instincts to survive.” 

World After by Susan Ee is the second installment to the amazing and un-put-down-able Penryn and the End of Days series. 

I read the first book Angelfall when it was only available on the internet and I cannot describe how happy I was when it was put into print. In the first book we were introduced to Penryn Young, a seventeen year old girl tasked with looking after her disabled sister and her mentally disabled mother in a world that has changed drastically in the last few months. 

Along with natural disasters humanity are now not the only species on the top of the food chain. Angels have arrived and they're not the fluffy winged cherub kind. No, these angels are warriors and in the midst of bringing humanity to its knees. 

Before I move onto the World After review I just want to say that Angelfall was absolutely amazing. It completely sucked me in and had me reading into the early hours of the morning. So if you get the chance please, please, please give this book a go!

So any way back to the review! 

World After takes place immediately after the events of Angelfall with Raffe gone, searching for his wings and Penryn along with her mother and sister being brought back to the Resistance camp. The story mainly follows Penryn as she tries to piece together her family and her world. But when Paige (Penryn's sister) goes off on her own Penryn sets out to track her down. But along the way Penryn comes face to face with the angels' plans and learns just how far they are willing to go to make them happen. 

Once again Susan Ee has brought us into a world with amazing believable characters and a suspenseful intriguing plot. Penryn is still one of my favorite heroines with her determined and witty nature along with her devotion to the people she loves. And then there's Raffe. 

“It is painful to see that people prefer a bad guy who looks like an angel to a good guy who looks like a demon.” 

Oh Raffe, the beautiful angel with his Adonis body and unfortunate demon wings. I just can't get enough of him! He really made the story for me and once you read it you'll understand why! But honestly the relationship he has with Penryn is just perfection it couldn't have been written better. Their banter and snarky comments add an element of humor to the story that compliments it greatly. 

“This sword is not just an angel sword. She’s an archangel sword. Better than an angel sword, in case that’s not clear. She intimidates the other angel swords.” 

“What, the other swords quake in their scabbards when they see her?” 

This was a great story to read but I kind of found it hard to get into it at first but to be honest I think it had more to do with me suffering from Raffe withdrawal because he isn't in the book until about three quarters of the way through. But it was so worth the wait! 

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Dare you to, the second book in the outstandingly beautiful 'Pushing the Limits' series written by the very talented author Katie McGarry 

"It's our rain Beth." 

Katie's stories never fail to surprise me, her writing is beyond perfection. She could write a book about an odd sock that she found in the wash and I would probably be in tears by the end.

The first chapter of Dare you to is in Ryan's point of view, the main male character of this book. Who would of thought you'd find the love of your life in Taco Bell approaching her because of a stupid dare? 

Ryan is a sweet, kind, drool worthy jock. He eats, drinks and breathes baseball. He has never known anything else, but writing is slowly becoming part of his life and one girl is about to show him that there is much more than one path to choose in life. 

“Baseball isn't just a game. It's the smell of popcorn drifting in the air, the sight of bugs buzzing near the stadium lights,the roughness of the dirt beneath your cleats. It's the anticipation building in your chest as the anthem plays, the adrenaline rush when your bat cracks against the ball, and the surge of blood when the umpire shouts strike after you pitch. It's a team full of guys backing your every move, a bleacher full of people cheering you on. It's...life”

I fell in love with the Beth the moment we met in 'Pushing the Limits.' Her attitude was what really caught my eye. She had a nature of judging others before she had even gotten to know them because she expected others to judge right back. In some ways she reminded me of myself and I liked that. 

Beth's bad-ass attitude really shines through at the start of this book. She makes me angry, happy, sad etc. I was mad at her for a long time for the way she led Isaiah on but I learnt to live with it by the end of this book. Beth deserved more than anyone to be happy, she had had such a hard life. She just never thought herself worthy enough to find happiness and so pushed all good things in life away. Until one boy came along and showed her just how special she really was! 

“I take comfort in the stone inside of me. If I don't feel, I don't hurt.”

Ryan and Beth both overcome so much in this book. From Beth learning that she can't always be there for her mother right through to Ryan learning that his brother never did anything wrong by being gay. 

At the start of this book I was a hundred percent sure McGarry had made a mistake not letting Isaiah and Beth be together. My heart was completely shattered and I wasn't sure if I could love any other boy being with Beth but Ryan completely changed my mind. He brought out the other side of Beth, the side that she never showed anyone. He loved her and because of that she slowly started letting her walls down. I fell head over heels for Ryan and understood by the end why Isaiah and Beth couldn't be together. 

“The way he stares at me - it’s as if he doesn’t even see the outside anymore. His eyes pierce me as if he can see my soul and the thought terrifies me.” 

Many times throughout this book I found the tears streaming down my cheeks. From the intense scenes right through to the romantic scenes. We all have that series we like to tell everyone about and this is that series for me. It is much more than just addictive. This book is an emotional rollercoaster and it enchants you from page 1 all the way through to the very last page. 

It gets 5 out of 5 stars for it's beautiful story, breath-taking writing and perfect characters!
