Cinder by: Marissa Meyer

Pages: 400

 

I enjoyed this book so much that I read the first book (Cinder) in one sitting and then started book two (Scarlett) the same day.

The story is pretty much exactly what you would think. A cyborg/futuristic/dystopian fairytale playing off of Cinderella. One of my favorite things about this book is unlike the actual Cinderella where a fairy godmother swooped in and saved her. Cinder is alone.  

She has to learn that it is just her who can fix the problem, no one is going to come in and hide all the parts of her that she was ashamed of or give her some glorious dress to attend the ball. She dusted off her grease (she is a mechanic) and took action herself. I love a fairytale as much as the next but I also think it is important to see a more realistic side. 

I do love that this is a multi-book series. By the end of book one, I had so many unanswered questions.

  The Obsession by Jesse Q. Sutanto Pages: 320   This book was okay. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it.  It was very predictable as things unfolded, which as a thriller that might have been what made me feel neutral about it.  Delilah has been controlled by sketchy men her whole life, until she takes things into her own hands.  Logan is infatuated with Delilah. He will do anything to maintain having her in his life.  I feel for Delilah because even after taking control of her life, she still is a magnet for sketchy men. She just wants what every other girl wants. A normal happy relationship. Which she thought she had with Logan.  Logan, this guy is a walking red flag. Yet on the other hand if he wasn't so creepy and intense he might have had things play out the way he wanted. Instead he hid cameras around Delilah's life. He blackmailed, and in his mind things had progressed way faster than on her end.

Meet Me in the Margins

                                                                                                                      Meet me in the Margins by Melissa Ferguson             As someone who loves to read and write this book was at the top of my romance reading list.                                                That's probably where it should have stayed. I love a good meet-cute book as much as the next girly but this just stayed flat. I felt I was struggling and grasping for those cute moments that are what keeps the pages turning. I hate giving a bo...

  Old Black Witch by Wende Devlin - 32 Pages The Dream for Nicky and his mother was just that, a dream. That was until they found the perfect Old New England house to transform into a tearoom. What they did not plan on was the cranky and eccentric Witch that resided within. A little trouble with robbers, or how flying blueberry pancakes would go over with the guests.  If you would like to whip up a batch yourself, you can! The book has a copy on the back.
