This Isn't The End...

          What comes to mind when you see this book cover? To some it's just a cover of a childish kids book. To others, it resonates a deeper meaning. And I am one of those people. Rick Riordan has touched many lives with this series. And it all started with the character of Percy Jackson...

          Percy was a young and naive twelve year-old in this first installment of the Percy Jackson & The Olympians Series that published in 2005. Since then, he has become a 17 year-old demigod who has taught many along the way of two sets of series spanning ten novels, three sets of short-stories and teasers, so far three graphic novels, and will now have two ultimate guides to Greek Mythology. So no, this won't be the end of Percy and his friends. We will always remember his quirky fondness for any blue food, and the way we watched him slowly fall in love with Annabeth. 

          But for me it's a goodbye to all those years of patiently (or not) waiting for the next one. I started off reading the infamous Harry Potter as a young child which I will always love. Though they will never hold in my heart the same feelings as the tales Rick Riordan has woven these years. It's probably because of my age when I started reading them and the age I am now that stems my true love for this series. I've grown up with them by me all this time. From the first word to the last, I was hooked. I'm sad to see them end, but I am thankful for all the years Rick put into sharing his stories with us.

*I received this book for free in exchange for an honest opinion*

           In this book we meet Elizabeth "Lizzie" Barret who is obsessed with the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice, but more importantly who portrays Mr. Darcy in the film. She dreams of finding her own Mr. Darcy, putting off ever seriously dating someone. Until her best friend makes her promise to give the next guy who asks her out at least ten dates before dumping him. Lizzie reluctantly agrees to this challenge, hoping to get it done and over with as quickly as possible. But her feelings had other ideas.
           Chad is sweet, kind, and just a fun guy to be around. He quickly gets Lizzie questioning her obsession with her dream guy. But then Lizzie meets Matt, a tall, arrogant man that could pass for Mr. Darcy's twin brother. She wants him and solely him, but is he what she really wants, or really needs in life? With her feelings for Chad growing she must choose between two totally different men. Her choice lies in this truly sweet retelling of the classic Pride and Prejudice, and I recommend it for anyone who wants a light and fun read.

Arenaline Rush by Cindy M. Hogan

                                                                     

                     *I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review*


        Getting down to business, Adrenaline Rush is exactly what the title says. From the first sentence I was hooked and couldn't seem to put it down. Getting to "watch" the events that Christy/Misha went through was so emotionally compelling I give huge props to Hogan. I find most authors can't carry a wide range of emotions in their books. They seem to be giving you something new and then BAM! back to where you always were. I felt all of the character's emotions, and it was quite a wide variety. I haven't read a book that compelling in a long time and I enjoyed the different, perilous feel of the book. It didn't feel forced or overworked, but had a nice flow throughout. But enough of my feelings! Get this book and read it for yourself! It has spies, adventurous teens, and a crazed madman! Highly recommended for all looking for a fresh read!
