Review of SHIVER


WOOT IMMA BACK BITCHES:)
Summary: Basically there's this girl named Grace who is in love with a werewolf that changes depending on the temperature. This is his last full year as a human. *Insert story here*
A bit of a rant:
Okay so I borrowed this book from my beloved best friend, whom I trust very much. Sometimes I am too trusting. I'm not dissing her because she is made of awesome but sometimes I seriously wonder about her. I love you GGNP just in case you are reading this. <3333333
Okay so I am going to tell you a personal story that really has nothing to do with this review because I feel like it. This story is starring my good friends GGNP and Emma. We were writing on Emma's whiteboard and I wrote "Werewolf sex is hot".
I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it totally is. Every. Single. Book. I've. Ever. Read. With. Werewolf. Sex. Has. Been. So. Fucking. Hot. Yes that was necessary.
This book was no exception.
The Good:
I liked the theory of the wolves changing in the temperature but I wished that she could have done some more world-building. For example, at what temperature do the wolves change? Why are some given more years than others? Hopefully that will be more built upon as the series continues.
*Spoiler* The sex scene. Yeah I went there.
And I liked the cover and the pretty font. I know that this has nothing to do with the real essence of the book but I still wanted to mention it.
That there was correct grammar in this book. Good god, we don't want another Twilight grammar book out there.
The Bad:
The plot. Or lack thereof. I am so unsure what the hell the book was about. I feel like I just spent 390 pages in a fantasy world of no-plot's land. That's all I'm gonna say on this topic.
The characters. They were pretty much reincarnations of Bella and Edward. Grace was a spineless girl that was easily forgotten and had no real friends, cooking meals for her parents, and feeling unworthy. Sam was an emo guy that was too picture perfect yet didn't realize it. He was always like I'd wanna hurt you etc. GAH!
Finally, the ending. It's was so annoying. I'm really getting sick and tired of these cliff-hanger endings in these trilogies.
TO WRAP IT UP:
I'm not sure that I'll read Linger. I'm not really sure if it is worth my time. But if you are a fan of spineless girls, no plots, and Twilight, than this is the book for you.

I am going to explain

Hey guys. It's hard to believe that my last post was in Febuary. It seemed like just yesterday I was reviewing books, laughing with my friends, and trying to hide my pain behind a smile. Basically in December after my Wintergirls post, I had a nevours breakdown. I tried to kill myself at least seven times (not all at once of course).
I couln't run from anything anymore. It was time to face up to the facts. I was seriously depressed, had horrible amounts of anxiety, and an eating disoder. I've pretty much been spending the rest of time in intense treatment. It took until now to get the courage to write this post. As hard as it is to be back, it feels great.
Thanks for all your support.
REVIEW OF SHIVER COMING SOON!

Just telling you why

I have some saddish news to share. Because of personal issues that I'd rather not go into at this point, all production of this blog has been put to a halt. I AM still reading and will have more to share in a while.
Sorry if I've disappointed anyone.
