Synopsis: “His eyes settled on her…piercing green embers of flame that revealed the ferocity of his pain and passion, yet still shrouded him under veils of ever deepening mystery that made every ounce of her ache to unravel him.” 

Tegan Lockwood’s dreams were dead, sacrificed on the noble altar of duty before they ever had a chance to live. Her entire existence was disappearing into the abyss of apathy as she labored her days away keeping her family’s struggling business alive. There would be no emotion, no color, no beauty in her life. That is, until a mysterious visitor begins to draw her out of the darkness of her past towards something that will challenge the boundaries of her world, and unlock the most deeply held secrets of her heart.

Review:

To everyone who even thinks of reading this book (and surely must), please check Dallas Coryell's youtube channel. His voice is devine! And I'm not promoting him because he asked me so, I'm doing it because I want it. His songs are complete masterpieces that must be shared with everyone.

Now let's go into the review.

Just so you know how much I loved this story... I even read the book at work! I couldn't put it down and when I had to because I had some costumers to attend to, I was thinking of what was going to happen on the next scene the whole entire time. During 85% of the book I spent it with a huge smile plastered on my face. The other 15% I had a worried face because there were some heart-pounding moments in this book that almost gave two or three heart attacks. 

We get to meet our British girl Tegan and our American boy Mason. We get to see how both try to pick up each others broken pieces and put them all back together. The friendship, the flirt, the romance, all the emotions shared between them were so captivating. Both baring secrets and both connecting with each other in a beautiful romantic way. 

I loved how their relationship grew from time to time and not just something fast. The pull between them was there and the feelings emerged with it and grew from day to day, from each moment they shared together and each secret from the past that they revealed.

We could say ''don't judge a book by it's cover'' and this is regarding Mason. Tegan thought he was someone because of what was written on the internet, magazines and all those gossip places where you can get your fair share of fake info. But she was so wrong, her thoughts about the broken guy she met were so wrong and Tegan got to see that once she let herself know him properly. Tegan herself was a broken person, afraid to let people in but being in Mason's company changed her heart, her fears, it broke down her wall of protection.

Reading this book left a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. Dallas Coryell's writing is so exquisite and the way he describes everything just left me amazed. I really want to read more things that he may publish in the future because I'm thirsty for his writing and stories he may share. This book deserves to be read with so much attention and love towards the story and everything written in it. An amazing author and an amazing book!

I would like to thank the author for sending me his book and letting me read this amazing creation of his.

A Court Of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

Published date: 3rd May, 2016

Published by: Bloomsbury USA Childrens

Genres: New Adult, Romance, Fantasy

Pages: 624

Format: Paperback

Rating: 5*

Synopsis: Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.

Review:

*SPOILER FREE*

I have so much to say about this book. First of all, let me tell you with just one word what I think of it: Perfection.

While reading this I had so many different thoughts, feelings, fears, tears, smiles, laughs and so on. 

I've waited a whole year for this book, like a lot of people have as well, so the anticipation and great expectations I had were major. I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses so, so much that I knew for sure that Sarah J. Maas wouldn't disappoint me with this one but I started this story with my mind set on one thing and when the plot went the other way around I wanted to burn the book.

Disclaimer: No books were harmed in the process of reading A Court of Mist and Fury.

But! (there's always a but), I fell in love with character I hated and got angry, disappointed and sad with characters I previously loved. Sarah J. Maas has this power to change your thoughts towards her creations that is outstanding!

This book contains beautiful writing, a lot of plot twists, snarky and sarcastic comments which made me laugh so hard, heart-pounding suspense and the most awesome, sexy, swoon worthy romance ever.

It's impossible not to fall in love with this story and every single chapter it contains.

Let's talk about character development.

Feyre. For me she was the character who showed the most improvement while the other characters simply gave us more information about themselves or changed from one book to the other since some previous actions influenced the ones in this book.

We got to see Feyre being a bad ass girl in A Court of Thorns and Roses and in this book... DAMN GIRL, YOU GOT SOME SKILLS! But before she's all bad ass and stuff, she's broken like it's mentioned on the synopsis. After everything that happened with Amarantha it's understandable the state that Feyre is through the first chapters. What makes her heal, the action that help her get better is what made my thoughts towards some characters change.

Still gonna leave this review spoiler free so I'm not going to prolong myself even more. I really recommend this book to everyone but you have to read A Court of Thorns and Roses first before you dive into this one. 

BOOK REVIEW: The Problem With Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published date: 17th May, 2016

Published by: Harlequin Teen

Genres: Young Adult, Romance, Fiction

Pages: 480

Format: Hardcover

Rating: 5*

Synopsis: For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.

Review:

*SPOILER FREE*

Once again, Jennifer L. Armentrout writes another outstanding book.

As always, she managed to create a story where you can laugh, smile with several moments, get angry, sad and cry. But most importantly is that you fall in love with every character and you desire to know more and more about every single one of them.

Since this is a spoiler free review, I won't talk about the plot (in this case, things that happened in the book).

I can pick three words that define this book:

1. Emotional
2. Hopeful
3. Inspiring

The way she managed to write about such ''hard'' and emotion filled topics was impressive. Topics like drug dealing, adoption, childhood traumas, death. The story itself sounded so real, so true that when I finished reading it, I started thinking about many things in my life and those who surround me. Like it says in the book, we take things, life mainly, for granted. Nothing lasts forever.

[ INTERVIEW ] - with Bryant A. Loney

Hellooo my fellow readers! Sorry for posting this soooo late, but here goes the interview I had with Bryant A. Loney, the author of the novel To Hear The Ocean Sigh and the novelette Exodus in Confluence.
I had a great time questioning this great author and all his answers left my mouth opened widely. Besides the stories he has written, while he speaks/writes he's quite amazing!
I'm very thankful to VERONA BOOKSELLERS for making this great opportunity available to me.
Here goes the interview:


Bri: First of all, thank you so much for giving me some of your time to chat with me. I feel honored to be here questioning you and also, you're the first author I'm interviewing!

BL: But of course! Thank you for having me on your blog.

Bri: So for the first question, I'm quite intrigued to know at what age did you start writing and having the knowledge that you liked doing it?

BL: I first started writing stories in December of 2005 when I was in third grade. I had always been intrigued by newspaper investigations, so I thought I would create my own little newsletter, which was essentially a single piece of paper with my name at the top made using Microsoft Publisher. Turns out I liked the storytelling aspect more so than the actual reporting, so all the news was fiction and based off whatever little weird ideas I had in my head at the time. Even so, it was my creative outlet for a while. Kind of embarrassing!

Bri: I wouldn't say embarrassing but yes quite creative! You could say you started your writing career at a very young age. Was there any writer (or writers) who inspired you to proceed with your writings?

BL: Stephen King's introduction to his book JUST AFTER SUNSET definitely inspired me to try my hand at short stories to see where they took me. It was through Bryan Lee O'Malley's work, however, that I was able to see the benefits of coming-of-age storytelling, or rather, works featuring teenagers as the central characters. I think it was a lovely combination of both authors that engaged my creative energy and allowed me to pursue longer fiction when I felt comfortable enough. 

Bri: So, to put it in even less words, your inspiration is a mixture of two great writers and thus was born your own book! 
Besides those two authors you've pointed out, could you recommend a book that you think a lot of teenagers should read?

BL: Every teenager should read Jay Asher's THIRTEEN REASONS WHY. Really makes you think about the way you treat a person, especially peers you may not know all too well. THE STRANGER by Albert Camus is also a must, though I would recommend this one specifically for juniors and seniors in high school during their second semester. Meursault's existentialist viewpoint is refreshing and unsurprisingly relatable at that age, and it's a quick read, too.

Bri: Since I don't know the books you've mentioned, I'll also make sure to read them. Thank your for the recommendation!
Now for a more random question. Do you get writer's block?

BL: Frequently! I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing, so the first draft is always difficult. I'll get frustrated with myself for not knowing a certain character's motivation just yet, for example, or I'll be dissatisfied with how I ended a particular paragraph. That's about the time I'll take a break, as an important piece of writing advice I once heard is to write when you feel inspired; don't force it. You'll get sludge if you do, and while sludge bumps up a word count, you'll always have to delete it after. I figure, in those instances, I might as well do something to bring back that creative energy, such as watching a TV show or reading a book in a similar genre or mindset as whatever I'm writing at the time. It's a struggle, but so it goes.

Bri: I agree completely when you said that you should write when inspired and to not force. I think that if you're truly inspired, the writing comes more nicely.
Besides considering yourself, and I quote. ''a bit of a perfectionist'', what other word would you choose to characterize your writing?

BL: My work can be viewed as satirical. An an American contemporary writer, I've seen there's a lot of the 2010s to talk about, whether its our obsession with technology, our nostalgic longings for simpler days, our growing concern with politics, our shaming of cruel standards, and with globalization, our sudden need to find acceptance and applause from those outside our social circle. I'm generalizing here, obviously, but these are the facets of our time that genuinely fascinate me, so it's only natural they find their way into my writing. I like calling out the inconsistencies I see, but don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. Nonetheless, I feel by doing the research to properly execute my thoughts, I'm becoming better informed on the issues of today, and in doing so, perhaps I can invoke actual change.
At the same time, I'd also use "facetious." Just because these are serious concerns of mine doesn't mean I won't approach them in a light manner. It's a segue into the darker stuff, I believe. Baby steps.

Bri: So in a way you use your viewing of today's world and adapt it to your writing, is that it? From what I've grasped from your book To Hear the Ocean Sigh, you pointed out several common issues teenagers go through on daily basis and it seemed you tried to ''joke around the topic'' as if approach a serious topic in a lighter way.
From this book, what was the hardest part to write?

BL: I wouldn't say I joked around the topics of sex, drugs, death, technology, and religion, but I certainly tried to introduce them in a more comedic tone. That's what kids do, after all. They test the waters with serious issues before going all-in. They're afraid of being judged by friends and family for having honest questions and concerns. By presenting these topics with comedy first, I believe they are easier to approach. After that, we can have an authentic conversation on sex, drugs, death, etc. Before the Internet, many teenagers would turn to novels for information on these sorts of issues, not simply because they were scared to ask a parent, but because novels are an excellent medium to discuss real aspects of our lives sans censorship. There's still a lot that can't be depicted in television, film, and video games, whereas novels can get away with a lot more. I try to do my part by engaging in these subjects by way of humor first, then reality soon after.

Bri: Now I understand it better, thank your for clarifying it for me and future readers.
And I have to agree that by introducing those topic the way you do, it turns easier to later approach them in a serious way.
Now regarding your novella Exodus in Confluence, what I wanted to know is how do you connect the ending (the part where it talk about the school shootings) with the zombie story?

BL: The protagonist of EXODUS, Stephen Hart, is a troubled individual filled with rage, as are many school shooters. The 2012 Sandy Hook and Aurora massacre sickened me, and I was so frustrated with how these young men could commit such awful acts. In writing the novella, I wanted to explore the mindset of these mass-murders. Stephen wishes for a specific girl to see him as more than just a friend, to which I'm sure a lot of high schoolers can relate. But Stephen takes his obsession too far, which he justifies in his mind by fabricating a world in which he is a survivor in a zombie apocalypse. Is he the protagonist? Yes. Is he a hero? No. He is human, not a monster, which is a notion I wanted to explore with this piece.

Bri: I must say the way you ended the novella left me wide open mouthed. I didn't even had the word to describe it but I thought it was wonderful. The connection I made with the ending and the zombie story was somewhat what you've just explained, but now that I'm reading the connection with your words, it's easier to understand the meaning behind it all. 
Well, these were all the questions I had for you.
Thank you so much for answering them all and for giving me your time.

BL: Not a problem! Thank you for reading. It means a lot.

Bri: Thank you for writing such amazing stories!

BOOK REVIEW: Exodus in Confluence by Bryant A. Loney

Exodus in Confluence by Bryant A. Loney

Genres: Young Adult, Horror, Zombies

Published Date: July 4th, 2014

Publisher: Verona Booksellers

Pages: 57

Format: Ebook 

Rating: 5*

Synopsis: 

EXODUS IN CONFLUENCE is mass-murderer Stephen Hart's haunting account of the December 21, 2013 tragedy in Cinder Heights, Maine.

"Five months into the zombie apocalypse, seventeen-year-old Stephen Hart lived in a society where rules and humanity had left him for dead. The remaining survivors clung feverishly to whatever hope remained--maybe it was a family member, or a religion, or a destination. But in less than one week, everything changed. (And so the cycle repeats.)

"A year later, his ramshackle settlement has been compromised, as evidenced by the hordes of the undead swarming inside the gates... and Stephen is to blame. Instead of running, he takes to the airwaves, using the transmission in the now-abandoned radio station to broadcast his story via speakers to his fleeing citizens. This way, maybe he won't look like such a total monster.

"With the clock running out, venture into Stephen's post-apocalyptic world, where circumstances can make us become something other than ourselves." 

Review: (Totally spoiler-free)

(I received a copy of this book from Verona Booksellers in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my opinion on the novel or its author.)

In such a short book I got even more impressed with Bryant Loney. His writing style is so good! 

I started reading this and thinking that it was just the story of someone during an apocalyptic moment and finished thinking something completely different but in a good way actually. When I finished reading this I was just so shocked and impressed that I didn't even knew what to say or how to express my thoughts towards this story. The exchanging between present and past left me a little confused but while I was reaching the ending I was starting to understand those past-present switches.

Lets talk about the ending because DAMN it was so mind blowing. I wasn't expecting that ending at all but it was, in a way, such an amazing plot-twist and it left me mouth-opened. 

I recommend this novella to everyone because:

1. It's a short read and it takes a couple of hours to read it.
2. The writing is exceptionally good
3. The story leaves you wanting for more
4. The ending was bomb!

For real guys, I'm still pretty much shocked with the ending. It was so damn good and I don't know how to express it other way. Bryant A. Loney is a promising writer and both his works left me wanting to read more from him.

If you read this novella, please leave a comment or at least review it on Goodreads!

FEBRUARY WRAP UP

HELLOOOOO EVERYONEEEEE!
Sorryyyyy for posting my February Wrap Up so late *hides in the corner*. I've been delaying and delaying this post several times. Why? I don't even know myself, probably laziness.

And before you think that the books in this pretty picture here in the left are the books I've read through the month of February, don't even get your hopes that high! I started 2nd semester of university in the beginning of February so I haven't been reading much (comparing to January).

So here are the books I've read during last month:

- Nevermore by Kelly Creagh
- The Runes Series by Ednah Walters

1. Runes
2. Immortals
3. Seeress
4. Witches

- Sweet Temptation by Wendy Higgins 
- Frigid by J. Lynn (Jennifer L. Armentrout)
- The Divisa Series by J. L. Weil

1. Saving Angel
2. Hunting Angel
3. Chasing Angel
4. Loving Angel
5. Redeeming Angel

- Book 1 and 2 from the Neighbor Series by R. L. Mathewson 

1. Playing for Keeps
2. Perfection

So comparing to January I read way less but it still was a good month having in mind that I have classes, need to study and all those things y'all know.
Funny thing is that I have several books to read for my English Lit class and I still haven't read any of them. Such a nice student that I am. Don't follow my footsteps! 

Glad to write,

BOOK REVIEW: To Hear the Ocean Sigh by Bryant A. Loney

To Hear the Ocean Sigh by Bryant A. Loney

Genres: Young Adult

Published Date: August, 2015

Publisher: Verona Booksellers

Pages: 276

Format: Ebook 

Rating: 4*

Synopsis: 

Jay Murchison believes he is a nobody at his high school in Oklahoma. Coming from a conservative family of affordable luxury, Jay has an overwhelming desire to become something great. After a mysterious girl named Saphnie in North Carolina mistakenly texts him, an unlikely relationship develops that affects Jay’s self-perception and influences the rest of his sophomore year. This correspondence leads him to a group of thrill-seekers who provide a grand departure from the quiet life Jay is familiar with and eye-opening experiences to witness first-hand the truth behind the loose morals his fellow classmates have come to know. 

In a story filled with injustice, hope, hatred, love, grief, and understanding, readers will ask themselves what it truly means to hear the ocean sigh and learn of the dire consequences that come with its responsibilities.

Review:

(I received a copy of this book from Verona Booksellers in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my opinion on the novel or its author.)

Where should I even start? I have several things that I want to point out that I'm seriously afraid I'll even mix up my thoughts.

Well, let's start with the 2 characters I liked the most, which are one of the things that made me like and reflect so much about this book.

First of all, Jay Murchison. One word: Loner. More than one word: Someone afraid to trust anyone, afraid of being left at a corner alone, unpopular/unknown. This doesn't mean he's not a great character, which he actually is. Why? We get to see him grow up in a couple a months, experience several things most teens do, create friendships, make mistakes and learn with them but most important, experience several psychological feelings. We get to experience the ''teenage years'' through his eyes and his personal experience. His perspective in life and the meaning of it changes a lot. He goes from believing he had a good life without any friend and anyone for him to care about besides his family, to accepting that you make mistakes and have to live with it's consequences but life goes on; you suffer major loses but you learn with those or the people you lose. What made me like Jay even more was that although it took him some time, in the end he truly understood people, mainly Saphnie. He could see their ''true colors'' and for that I congratulate the author for doing such a great job with this character that for some could look like some regular teenager but is indeed a very complicated mind who observes and analyzes his surroundings. 

The other character of course it's Saphnie (how obvious of me). What we get to know from her is mostly the information she provides through the messages she exchanges with Jay, although we get some extra info from other secondary characters which is quite helpful to get to understand her a little more. I think she's the most complicated character of this book since we only get to really understand her almost at the end of the story were a lot of incidents happen and a lot is revealed. She was like a philosophical person who would analyze everything and question it. 

Saphnie gave some great advises to Jay but her perspective in life was the opposite of him. Where he was a loner, she had many friends; where he was unpopular, she was the other way around. What she had was what Jay wanted but all Saphnie wanted (in my opinion) was basically to know the purpose of everything, like did good people die, why did life had to be so complicated, why was she misunderstood? She needed someone to understand her mind and, in a way, her heart. 

Besides the characters, the writing could be complex and simple at the same time. When I got to read the messages exchanged between Jay and Saphnie, I would always get eager to read more of it because the difference between them both was quite obvious but so well written, funny, sentimental and helpful. While Jay was like every other teenager, Saphnie was very articulate and expressive in her messages.

But the high point of Bryant's writing and imagination, are his inspirational moments in the story which I shall quote one:

''Even if all someone ever reads is fan fiction, any form of writing is a beautiful thing, and we must not waste precious time trying to understand the intention of the author. Rather, we should decide what the story means to us.''

And with this quote I will all decide, or rather, say that this story means to me. A lot. It means a lot and it made me see life in a different way. Sometimes we take life for granted, we don't risk and keep with our routines afraid that one day we may lose it all but nothing stays the same forever. In one moment you think that your friends are the best you have and the next one you just dump all your emotions on top of someone and finally lose your emotional control. Like Jay in the beginning, we should try to make the best choices for our lives but like Jay throughout the book, we should live and enjoy it to the fullest because all we have and know, one day could disappear and that special one who actually hears you, understands you, the one who ''hears you sigh'' could be gone in a second.

I finished reading the book at 06:00 AM and then kept staring at a wall thinking: What is life? Why do we breathe? Okay, maybe not those questions actually, but I tried to pick this book story and compared it to my life and the choices I've been doing or might do. It was almost like a ''realization moment''.

Once again I congratulate the author Bryant Loney for writing such a complex and yet funny book with great inspirational sentences and moments.

I recommend this to everyone!! Even if this isn't the type of book you would read, it wasn't mine but I've certainly do not regret reading it whatsoever and it was an awesome experience to read something more realistic and out of my reading comfort zone.

BEST BOOKS OF 2015

HELLO Y'ALL!
Missed writing here so much! Sorry for not posting in a long time, I've been submerged in my readings that I just got lost in my little bubble.
So, going right into the subject of this post... I got inspired by a lovely booktuber named Naya (Channel: NayaReadsAndSmiles) who did a video with her 9 favourite books/series of 2015 and so I'm going to do something like that but I've narrowed it to 7 (favourite number much).
Instead of counting the books seperately, I've compiled them into their respectives series.
So this is my list:
- First of all, my favourite series of all: The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout (including Oblivion and also Onyx and Opal trough Daemon's eyes). Just by ''favourite series of all'' I think you know how I feel about this series. It consumes my everyday life, eveywhere I go I can see something related to Lux. (okay, I have serious problems. Go ahead, judge away.)

- Secondly, A Court Of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.I just want to comment this: Damn perfection. Just read it if you haven't for god's sake. This was the first book I've read by Sarah and I loved her writing so much and the story is damn awesome and god, I still have millions of feels by just thinking of it.

- Thirdly, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I'm not a huge fan of contemporary books but I so loved this one. How couldn't I? I was all cutesy and I really loved all the plot.

- Fourthly, obviously another Rainbow Rowell book... CARRY ON! I won't say anything because I've already done a review on this books and I have a ton of pictures on my instagrim with me fangirling with this PRECIOUS book.

- Fithly, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare which was a huge rollecosters of feelings for me (good ones actually, like crying like a little baby and creating a new ocean. True story, check the map.)

- Sixthly, the Existence Trilogy by Abbi Glines (that by the way, the dude on the covers is Pepe Toth, also know as our baby Daemon from the Lux Series covers. Hot dude, would so marry him. Another true story). I loved this series so much that it only took me 3 days to read the 3 books and for that I basically read during my classes, didn't almost sleep and looked like a zombie in uni. So yeah, I guess It means that this series is awesome sauce.

- Seventhly and to finish up this post, A Bucket Full Of Awesome by Zainab T.Khan which I've posted a review on it and I so recomment to all of you. Another contemporary book that I loved so much. Couldn't stop reading it and even cried. A lot. For real, you should all read this book, it's damn good and I think that today my vocabulary consists in damn, good, awesome, perfect.

I'm sorry if I didn't talk much about the books but I want to be totally spoiler free since most of my favs are series.
If you want me to write more about any of this books I've pointed out, feel free to ask :D
That's all folks.

Glad to write,

DomoMin (Brigida Afonso)
