Rotterdam Home, a hospice where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die, was home to the Midnight Club–a group of five young men and women who met at midnight and told stories of intrigue and horror. One night they made a pact that the first of them to die would make every effort to contact the others from beyond the grave.

To be very honest here I didn’t know much about this book before actually reading it, of course I watched the Netflix series based off on this book but I didn’t know how true the series would be to this book.

This book really surprised me a lot because I really liked it a lot. And I was completely glued to it in just such a way that I read it in less than a year. 

This book is very short read, my copy of this book had only 212 pages and after finishing this book I was very mixed about this book. Because I had a lot of thoughts about this book and a lot of those thoughts weren’t quite on the same page with each other.

On the one hand this book was too short and I would get to know those characters much more and to be on a journey with them for longer than just those 200 pages but at the same time the size of this book was what I needed it to be. Because I have the feeling that if this book was longer than it would quickly become a shitty book. 

The plot in this book is very unique and I for sure haven’t come a plot like this so far. Is about hospice for teenagers with very shitty and terminal illnesses which didn’t have a long time left to live. Its a very devastating plot for sure but at the same time its very unique. 

The ending of this book was very heartbreaking, because of all the things which happen at the end but at the same time its very satisfying end. And I feel like if this book was longer then the ending would have been less satisfying than it actually was. I really like the ending, which made me give this book some extra points for. 

The characters in this book was good, we don’t get a lot of characters in this book but does we get are good. I wouldn’t say that they are very good because we get way too little time with them. The characters doesn’t have a lot to depth to them but its understandable because we only get 200 pages of this book. 

Even tho the characters in this book doesn’t have a lot of depth, they still have things that make them unique and something which makes us the readers like them. 

However I got very annoyed at the very end of this book at Ilonka Pawluk because in my opinion she was way too hopeful and she didn’t feel like the same character we spend the book getting to know. It felt like she has aged 60 years in 1 chapter out of nowhere.

The writing style in this book was very simple and easy to read. And because of the easy and simple writing style this book was very obvious that it is aimed towards the Young Adult genre fans. But I didn’t mind that because I knew from the beginning that this book was aimed towards the YA fans.

The writings style was very good here because it made the whole plot of teenager who have terminal illness less heavier and it made it easier to read with his whole heavy topic going on in this book.

This book is very powerful but at the same time it is also very sad because of the topic. But the way this book presents this very sad plot makes it likable at least in my opinion.

Even thou this book is aimed towards young adults it deals with a very mature topic. Which really surprised me when I started reading this book. But even thou the topic is very heavy and mature the punchline of this book is friendship, love and life when you know it wont last long.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

Book Four of the After series—now newly revised and expanded, Anna Todd’s After fanfiction racked up 1 billion reads online and captivated readers across the globe. Experience the Internet’s most talked-about book for yourself! #HESSA

I cant believe that this book is the last book in the “After” series, but I gotta say that this series was a roller coaster of a ride.

However I need to be honest and admit that this book had a very different feeling to it then the previous 3 books in this series. It just didn’t feel like it was written by the same author. The characters and plot was still good but it just didn’t have the same felling to it. But the drama between Hardin and Tessa isn’t the same as it was in the 3 previous books. 

Hardin and Tessa are still the most characters to be ever created, and I just cant believe that my journey with them are over. Because I love them so much. 

Both Tessa and Hardin have so much personality to them and emotions that they feel like real human beings rather than fictional characters. I personally would have no problems being friends with both Tessa and Hardin. 

Throughout this entire book I was seating at the edge of my seat because I knew that this book is the big finally and I were dying to know if Tessa and Hardin are the end game or not. And I cant give you an answer to you because I not gonna spoil anything for you. 

The writing style here felt different from the rest of this series, just as it was written by a different person. Which I’ve touched upon it before in this review. And this is the main reason why I choice to give this book 4 stars instead of 5 star even thou I wanted to give it the full score. 

The ending here is amazing, and there was a point near the end where this book got me crying like a baby because of the things which were happening. I really wanted to scream at the author. But after finishing the book I realized that this moment was important because if we didn’t get it, the whole ending would have been very different and it wouldn’t be so satisfying as it was. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

Just as Tessa makes the biggest decision of her life, everything changes. Revelations about first her family, and then Hardin’s, throw everything they knew before in doubt and makes their hard-won future together more difficult to claim. Tessa’s life begins to come unglued. Nothing is what she thought it was. Not her friends. Not her family. The one person she should be able to rely on, Hardin, is furious when he discovers the massive secret she’s been keeping. And rather than being understanding, he turns to sabotage.

This book is the third book in the “after” series by Anna Todd. To be honest this book took a longer time to read than the previous two books in this series, because I start to get tired of this series, and all the drama between Tessa and Hardin.

I personally feel like im getting close to the point where I’m getting sick of the back and forth drama and fucked up situations between Tessa and Hardin, at this point I’ve read 3 books in this series, and each of those books had over 800 pages in them.

While I was reading this book, I had some many thoughts about why Tessa didn’t leave Hardin at this point? This was the first time it happened to me while reading this series.

The plot in this book, wasn’t the great as the plot in the first and second book in this series, I can honestly say that the series is going down the hill with this book. But this series is far better than “Fifty Shades Of Grey”.

The plot was interesting but at times it was getting very close to the edge of becoming boring. 

The characters here were good, but in this book I started having problems with Tessa, because in one moment she says she is done with Hardin and in the next moment she is running back to him. Which is annoying me so very much in this book, because whats so hard to with sticking to what you say.

I found myself liking more and more throughout this book Tessa’s father which came in big into this series at the very end of book two, and he becomes one of the major side characters in this book. Which really was good, because it have taken a lot of drama away from Hardin and Tessa and put it on Tessa’s father.

We also get a huge plot twist from one of the character in this book, which really blow my mind in a way but at the same time I was expecting something like the event which happened to occur but not from the character which it came from.

But still I found myself to be consumed in this book, and read in front to back without any major hesitation.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

As Omega Point prepares to launch an all-out assault on The Reestablishment soldiers stationed in Sector 45, Adam’s focus couldn’t be further from the upcoming battle. He’s reeling from his breakup with Juliette, scared for his best friend’s life, and as concerned as ever for his brother James’s safety. And just as Adam begins to wonder if this life is really for him, the alarms sound. It’s time for war.

This book is written from Adam’s perspective. And I need to admit that this book was less fan than the book written from Warner’s perspective. But thats has to do me not liking Adam as much as I like Warner. 

After reading this book, I need to say that this book was more about Adam reassuring himself that he can be the hero which Juliette and his little brother needs  than anything else. 

Throughout this whole book Adam tries to be the hero for everyone, but still everything goes to shit at the end of this book, which really shows how bad of a hero Adam is.

But still a part of me loved this book a fair share, because we get to know Adam much more and we get to know his thoughts and emotions. But still some of his thoughts about Juliette aren’t the most valiant. Because he more or less wants to control Juliette in a way, always telling her what she should do like choosing him over Warner even do he treats Juliette as shit at times.

There are some additional action we get to know when Juliette is taken by Warner’s father from the battlefield. And we get to see those action going down through Adam’s perspective which is okay for the most part. But if you want me to pick a preferable perspective then I would go with Juliette’s and Warner’s perspectives.

The writing style here is as good as in the previous books in the series, which of course means that the author seems to know what words to use, to fully grab your attention and to not let it go until you finish the book.
