Elise Beaumont is cursed. With every touch, she experiences exactly how her loved ones will die. And after her brother’s death—a death she predicted but was unable to prevent—Elise is desperate to get rid of her terrible gift, no matter the cost. Claire Montgomery also has a unique relationship with death, mostly because she’s already dead. Technically, anyway. Claire is a vampire, and she’s been assigned by the Veil to help Elise master her rare Death Oracle powers. At first, Elise is reluctant to work with a vampire, but when she predicts a teacher’s imminent murder, she’s determined to stop the violent death, even if it means sacrificing her own future to secure Claire’s help.

This book was surprisingly good, I personally expected it to be another lame YA book about vampires. But it turned out to be a pretty decent and enjoyable read.

The plot here wasn’t a masterpiece but it was good. The plot in this book is interesting, enjoyable at times and it holds you engaged in the book.

In this book we get two perspectives from the two main characters which are Elise Beaumont and Claire Montgomery. Which I really like because we get two perspectives of the same story. 

The characters here were okay, I personally didn’t care for them. Because they are typical YA characters. 

The love story here feels like one of these instagram love stories which are insufferable and very lame.

The writing style is very boring at times. Which really toke away the fun from this book at times.

This book is a quick read, because it only has 350 ish pages. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5

Bethany Lu Carlisle is devastated when the tabloids report actor Keanu Reeves is about to tie the knot. What?! How could the world’s perfect boyfriend and forever bachelor, Keanu not realize that making a move like this could potentially be devastating to the equilibrium of…well…everything! Not to mention, he’s never come face to face with the person who could potentially be his true soulmate—her.

To be fully honest here this book was all over the place, and in a way it was very strange.

If you are looking after a book where you can turn your brain off completely then this book is very relevant. Because the plot is very easy and at times this book gets interesting. 

This book gave me the biggest stalker vibe, since the main plot in this book is about a 30 + years old fangirl who is obsessed and chasing Keanu Reeves in the hope of marrying him. And if you don’t classify this behaviour as stalking I don’t know what will.

The main characters in this book are well over 30 years of age, but they act like high schoolers which was really annoying, because full grown adults acting as teenagers isn’t a good sign of stable mental health. 

However the plot was fun at times, and it defiantly was interesting to read it even thou it was far from a good plot.

The characters here were pretty generic young adult characters. They are very cheesy, awkward and embarrassing but also none of them have the ability of logical thinking. 

The writing style in this book was okay, but it to be fully honest here it was weak and at times very weak and boring. 

The premise of this book was fun because it was very unique but the way it was done it just didn’t work out that well. 

However this book was enjoyable and interesting as long as you don’t analyse it. It is also a really quick read.

Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She’s got direction, ambition, and a mother who’s intent on keeping her that way. But she’s barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, tattoos, and lip ring, Hardin is cute and different from what she’s used to. But he’s also rude—to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does—until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she’s never known before. 

I am very surprised over the fact how much I love this book. There is really something about it which made me love this book. 

The size of this book have animated me before I started reading it. Because this book has around 580 pages depending on what version of this book you get. Which really makes it to a big book. However after reading this book, I was left with the feeling that this book was too short. 

The plot in this book is very unique but at the same time very generic in a way. But I loved it. There is something very unique about the plot in this book. The best way to describe it is the plot in this book uses the generic plot for YA and romance and then presents us it in a very unique way.

The main characters in this book are Tessa and Hardin. And to be honest they both are super relatable however they are the polar opposites of each other. Tessa is the ultimate good girl and Hardin is the ultimate bad boy. And the process of seeing them change each other slowly really makes this whole book so much better.

The side characters are also so incredible, because they feel like real human beings with their unique personalities and something which set them apart from each other. 

The writing style here so incredible, its almost like the author knows what words to use to fully grab you and not let you go until you finish the book. Which I personally love when it happens. Because it feels like the author tells the story just for you to like it.

The most annoying thing about this book for me personally, was the huge cliffhanger this book leaves us with. After I finished this book I was angry in a way that it would leave us with the biggest cliffhanger ever, but at the same time it made me want to grab the second book in this series to find out what will happen next. 

To be honest that’s my whole dynamics with this book, I hate it but at the same time I love it.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

The great revelation goes well at first – then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found in the parking lot of Merlotte’s, and Sookie agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer. But there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful, and far more secretive than the vampires or the werewolves, is preparing for war. And Sookie is an all-too-human pawn in their ages-old battle.

In this book we get a new way going on. But this time it isn’t vampire war nor a were war. This time it is a Fae war which really blow my ming because I didn’t expect that to happen. 

The plot here was okay for the most part. It wasn’t a masterpiece as the rest of the series. But the action in this book have picked up from the previous books. And the action happened to be interesting and engaging and I just couldn’t put the book down. 

The characters here are very likeable and the character development is amazing in this series. The characters are still are on the annoying side in this book but it doesn’t bother me anymore because over the 9 books I grown to like them.

Eric in this book becomes the best character in this series. Which he already was for me personally. 

To be honest the author had over-delivered thing which we as readers didn’t really care for. And it in a way had disappointed me. 

This book changed the focus from vampire to every other supernatural creatures like shapeshifters, fairies etc. this happened in book 7 or 8 if I remember correctly but this fact became twice as strong in this book. We really get to see vampires in this book for max 10 pages and the rest is focus on the other supernatural creatures.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
