Predestined (Existence #2)
By Abbi Glines

You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder.

The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.

Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.

It's 3:13 am. And I just finished reading predestined. And I just want to say that it's fabulous, fantastic and amazingly good!

Predestined has more definition, the characters personality grew that your able to understand and love them more.

I love dank and how she loves pagan, that his willing to fight anyone for her. Even the voodoo king, and the soul that she's supposed to be with. He just take my breath away.

I love pagan, with everything that is happening to her she's trying to stay strong. And I love that when the voodoo king, was killing some of her love ones for the the exchange, she's willing to sacrifice her self and her love, with that I think she became fearless.

Leif, at first I hated him. I didn't understand why he was doing things that he was doing. I believe in the saying when love someone you have to understand them, and in the end when he did the thing he did. I started to love him. ( he should get his own book. Just saying)

Abbi Glines you are amazing. Another wonderful and beautiful book from you.

I can't wait for ceaseless.

Read it. You'll love it.

It was good.

when i first saw it i didn't know it was a modern day retelling of Cupid and Psyche, it just spark the interest in me, but, i didn't read it right away i was still thinking if i should read it. but, one day i was scanning some reviews and learned that its a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, since i am a sucker for Greek myth i read it right away and it did not disappoint.

I like how the retelling goes. i love how the simple the story goes and its very easy to understand. if some people doesn't like modern retelling of old stories, well, i do. it just give me something to think about like if this really happened in the original story it will be better, it will keep you thinking the "what ifs?

the romance is really fast. i felt that its really destiny.

i love how they try to protect each other from each other, i love they love each other yet they're trying to spare each other.

i love Lorona's name and how it was explained, its somehow mysterious and intriguing.

i love how the story played out, how they realize that they are really for each other.

Read it. You'll love it.

Its a great book. if you love S.C Stephen's Thoughtless and Effortless then you'll love this series too, You'll like it very much and you'll read it.

The plot was good, i think it was hurried though, i think there could be more, but, as the whole story goes it was wonderful. i love how the whole story flow from start to finish.

Irelyn was at times frustrating, i just don't get the way she thinks, but i love how she realize and solve the things she needs to solve, i also love how fast she realizes things, but, i didn't like that she didn't open up to her friends and Family about whats really going on. but, it adds more to the story and somehow it became more complex.

Lucas was DREAM. his so understanding and sweet and charming and all that. i love how he sees his relationship and how he just clicks with everybody.

Spencer and Collin are sweet, they just understand whats going around them and how they want to help and they're just so sweet.

Bailey and Morgan are the coolest friends. i love how Bailey is honest and straight to the point and i love Morgan whose nice and sweet, level headed and very in tact with her moral. the 3 of them just click even though they have different personalities.

BOOK: Falling Fast

Falling Fast
By Sophie McKenzie


Summary:

When River auditions for a part in an interschool performance of Romeo and Juliet, she finds herself smitten by Flynn, the boy playing Romeo. But Flynn comes from a damaged family—is he even capable of giving River what she wants? The path of true love never did run smooth . . .

This is real life, not a rehearsal...

~0~

Falling Fast is a story about Falling Fast.

I always believed that falling in love should be easy.
but, the book thought me that love isn't easy to find and that love takes a lot of things like understanding, trust, faith and Love.

The book will show how love really can be, how a simple misunderstanding can lead to something else. how a miss-communication will lead to heart ache and how love will conquer all.

River is a character that you will like and dislike. at some point i disliked her because of how she thinks and she perceive things, then i like because shes really a hopeless romantic, she believes in love and happy ending and everything would be easy, that with love they could conquer all.

Flynn has many enemies within himself. his very angry with world and how his life and the life of his family turns out. but i believe that with that experience he became hard and moody. but, i love how his life came to be i love how he loves his family and how he takes care of them.

Read it. You'll love it.

It was Good~

It was nice reading something light and feel good.
its about being being attracted to the person you don't want to be attracted with, because of what you experienced with the person while you were young.
i love the book so much because it lets you experience how young love can be, and how pure and significantly big it is.

I love how the character were written, how they grow with the story progressing.
I love Ethan his sweet. and he really knows what he want, i love how he love Sophie, even though it seems so extreme.
with Sophie i liked how she try's not to be attracted to Ethan because of their childhood and i love how she told Ethan everything with the thought of dying, and i think that she's really cute like that, and i love her persistence in attracting Peter and how she wants to take everything to the next level.

all in all it was a good book, a definitely MUST read.

Read it. You'll love it.

I liked it a lot.

although they're misunderstanding was so long,

but, i love the concept of first love, and then having a happily ever after.

Jacob was so cool. i love, love him. he was very sweet and very understanding.

I actually love and hate Beth at some point. but, i can understand that she protects herself and she just doesn't want to put it out there, like her feelings is very important to her but, in the end of that protection she's hurting the people she really love. but, i still like her specially were she face her own fears and feelings and just takes the leap and took her chances with Jacob and finally setting her true self free.
