“Club Dead” By Charlaine Harris Review

Things between cocktail waitress Sookie and her vampire boyfriend Bill seem to be going excellently (apart from the small matter of him being undead) until he leaves town for a while. A long while. Bill’s sinister boss Eric has an idea of where to find him, whisking her off to Jackson, Mississippi to mingle with the under-underworld at Club Dead. When she finally catches up with the errant vampire, he is in big trouble and caught in an act of serious betrayal. This raises serious doubts as to whether she should save him or start sharpening a few stakes of her own

The book series gets better and better with each book so far. Im still not the biggest fan of this series but I find it enjoyable.

The plot here is good but it had the potential to be even better if some of the events would be better written and described. 

The writing style here is okay. To be fully honest the written style in this book and in this whole series so far is very typical YA style. But it is a good mix with the easy plot. 

The characters here are meh. The only character which I really like in this book and in this whole series so far is Eric and the rest of the characters in this book are okay. But they could have been better.

All of the characters tend to be more on the annoying side than on the likeable side but I still had my fun with them. 

This book and this whole series is a very good pick when you want to escape the reality but you don’t want to use brainpower. 

This book was a very slow especially in the beginning. Which really made me want for it to be faster and more action than what it really was.

“Regretting You” By Colleen Hoover Review

Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

So I finally decided to read a Colleen Hoover book after watch all the hype with her books on TikTok for months. And I need to say that this book was what I expected it to be. 

After reading this book I’ve learned that 99% of the hyped authors or books aren’t for me. Because every time I end up being disappointed in waisting my time and money.

The entire plot in this book is the husband cheating on his wife with her sister and having a kid with her. But the wife learns about this after her husband and sister get killed in a car accident. Because of this the wife stars to have an affair with her sister’s fiancé and her daughter starts to act up and become an insufferable teenager who drinks, takes drugs, is pissed all the time at everyone etc.

However I need to say that the plot was okay at times, but most of the time I wanted to DNF this book, because the majority of this book was a torture. 

The characters in this book were super weak, boring and stupid. Miller and Jonah were pretty decent characters which really surprised me. Clara and Morgan the two main characters here were super insufferable. Because they made more stupid choices with each page. 

Clara and Morgan truly made me feel at times that Colleen Hoover didn’t have any idea about writing a female character. And at times it felt like Colleen Hoover painted female characters in this book just as these crying maniacs who could only argue with each other and cry. 

Clara was particularly an incredible bad character. She is 16 / 17 years old in this book but all the time she was super immature, and she blamed everyone else for her own mistakes. At one point she yelled and blamed her boyfriend for using her even thou she used him for sex to hurt her mother.

Morgan is the wife of the story. When she found out that her husband cheated on her with her sister and got her sister pregnant. She decided to let her 16-year-old daughter hate her and act up and do drugs and drink alcohol instead of her telling her the truth about her dad and aunt. 

The writing style here was probably the best thing about this book. It wasn’t the good or even close to it. But it was far better than the plot and all of the characters in this book.

“On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft” By Stephen King Review

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon the publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported near-fatal accident in 1999 — and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it — fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.

This book was a very short story about Stephen King’s life and some of his advises which he has for people who want to become writers.

This book have a lot of really good advice for people who want to start writing books which I personally enjoyed reading.

This book is a really quick read. It is as well interesting, enjoyable and fun to read. But there are couple of moments here and there which made me personally bored. 

This book gives us a view to him as a person and what he does when he is writing his amazing novels. Which I personally liked to learn about. 

The writing style here was pretty okay. It felt like classic Stephen King writing style but I personally felt like there was something missing when it comes to writing style in this book. 

For the most part this book was a mix of an autobiography and an advice book to new writers or people who want to become authors.

“The End” By Lemony Snicket Review

The last volume of the fabulously popular A Series of Unfortunate Events series, in which the history of the Baudelaire orphans is brought to its end. You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. 

Here we are, at the moment which I’ve dreaded which of course is the last book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series.

I need to say that this book have disappointed me a lot because the ending we got for the entire series wasn’t good enough. After reading 13 books in 2 weeks I was expecting something more than what we actually got.

However this book have illumined some aspects which we were waiting to get since the beginning. Which in a way made me love this book a lot. 

The action in this book takes place on an island in the middle of nowhere. Which was a place which was very good for the ending of this fantastic series.

The fate which Count Olaf got, really disappointed me because I was expecting something worse happen to him. But still it was good enough of a fate I suppose.

The characters here, you can truly see how much Violet, Klaus and Sunny have changed since book one in this series.

The character development in this book was huge, and it might be the reason why I loved this book so much.

To be fully honest here this book is strange, because it was good but at the same time it felt like there was something missing in it.

But also not knowing what happens to Violet, Klaus and Sunny after this book, really kills me in a way.

“Living Dead in Dallas” By Charlaine Harris Review

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins. The point is: they saved her life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favor, she obliges – and soon Sookie’s in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She’s supposed to interview certain humans involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave and let the humans go unharmed. But that’s easier said than done, and all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly.

This book is the second book in the True Blood / Sookie Stackhouse series.

I wasn’t a fan of the first book but this book got better than the first and I liked it much more. 

There is a lot of action in this book and a lot of happening which makes you engaged in the book. And the action is interesting which makes it harder to pull yourself away from the book. 

The ending was super messy and it was super hard to keep track of at least for me personally. However the beginning and the middle of this book was super fun and I had good time there.

The characters here are begin to become better and less annoying for me personally. And I really came to some what like them in this book which I gave this book some extra points for that.

In this book we get more backstory for Bill, and Eric here becomes more likeable than in the first book which I came to enjoy. 

The writing style in this book was simple and easy which really suited the plot and the rest of this book.

Overall this book is very good read when you just want to turn of your brain for a bit and have cozy time with something.

“The Penultimate Peril” By Lemony Snicket Review

Dear Reader, If this is the first book you found while searching for a book to read next, then the first thing you should know is that this next-to-last book is what you should put down first. Sadly, this book presents the next-to-last chronicle of the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, and it is next-to-first in its supply of misery, despair, and unpleasantness.

This book is the 12th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. Which really makes me sad because it means that there is only one book left in this series. 

The action in this book is very very very high. There is a lot of happening. Because all the bad people Violet, Klaus and Sunny met since book one makes an return in this book. And oh boy, this book does really hit another level of sadness. 

Violet, Klaus and Sunny has to join forces with Count Olaf to escape the hotel which this book takes place. Because there is an angry mob after Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Count Olaf. 

Count Olaf in this book break up with Esmé Squalor and he leaves behind her and that little brat Carmelita Spats. Let’s hope that we won’t see these two insufferable characters in the last book in this amazing series. 

In this book the plot is very thick and heavy. Because finally in this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny mets someone from the VFD and they are even put to do a special mission for them to take down Count Olaf. But of course as you might expect the mission doesn’t go along the plan. 

Violet, Klas and Sunny feels like an adult even thou 2 of them are teens and Sunny is a baby. That’s just shows the character development and all the things they have been through since the first book. 

To be fully honest here, this book is the most complex book in this series so far. And I need to say that this book might be my favourite book in this series but we still have one book to go in this series so a lot of things might change in that time.

“The Cabin at the End of the World” By Paul Tremblay Review

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault”. Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.”

This book had the generic horror plot and set up as you could imagine. 

The plot here is a family going on a vacation to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Not that much unique. 

To be honest this book started great but it somehow went quickly flat. Which really disappointed me personally.

This book had lots of potential but it didn’t of course use it which really is sad. 

The characters here are very flat and you just can’t relate to them cuz it is obvious that they aren’t real people and that they were made for just being killed off at some point. 

The written style here was very weak here but it had some good moments here and there.

“The Grim Grotto” By Lemony Snicket Review

Dear Reader,  Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book, in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. 

This book is the 11th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. And I really hate the fact that I only have 2 books left until I finish this series. I don’t want this to happen because I love this series so much.

To be fully honest, the action in this book is very high. And I loved it. The action in this book takes place under the water. 

And this book almost destroyed my life, when sunny was infected by a fast working virus. I wouldn’t have cried for years if Sunny have died. And that shows how much I love Violet, Klaus and Sunny.

This book has a huge life lesson in it, and this life lesson is that “People aren’t either wicked or noble”. And we learn this lesson from no other than the hook-handed man from Count Olaf’s trop. I didn’t expect it to come from him.

In this book we truly learn of truly insufferable Carmelita Spats is. Really can’t understand how Count Olaf stand her. If I was him I would have throw her off the submarine within minutes.

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course.  Which is really sad for me to say, because now thus book is the 3rd books which really disappointed in a way in this series.

“Five Feet Apart” By Rachael Lippincott & Mikki Daughtry & Tobias Iaconis Review

Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals

To be honest here this book feels like the generic cliché of YA romance book where the teenagers are too sick to be in love.

This book follows to characters and it switched perspectives between the two main characters who are Stella and Will.

The characters here are okay for the most part. But there are moments where the characters act like the most generic YA characters which doesn’t work for me personally. 

This book was interesting, enjoyable and fun to read. This book is also a quick read and very easy read which means that it is possible to read this book in a day. 

The writing style here is very easy. And to be honest the writing style here is very YA style.

“The Slippery Slope” By Lemony Snicket Review

Dear Reader, Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up–and down–a range of strange and distressing mountains. In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful map, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.

This is the 10th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. After finishing this book I relied that I have only 3 books left in this series.

But I also relied that Sunny, isn’t the same character as she was in the first book because she has grown a lot since the first book. She walks in this book and she is developing her talent. Violet is the engineer, Klaus is the researcher and sunny is the chief. I completely love the fact that Sunny is developing her own talent. 

The beginning of this book was a little bit slow, to be fully honest. But it quickly made up for the fact. 

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course. 

The action in this book is lower than in the precious books, but it is still there. And it is still incredible fun to follow the action in this book just to see where it will takes us. 

The characters are still as amazing as in the previous books in this series. If you compare this book and the first book then you can truly see the character development happening for Violet, Klaus and Sunny. 

After finishing this book, I’ve realised that the books are getting longer and longer. And I love this fact because I can spend longer time on this series.

In this book we learn the meaning of VFD, and we meet a new amazing character which of course is Quigley. But also Carmelita Spats makes a return in this book and she joins no other than Count Olaf and his Co of weird people.
