Book #38

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This may actually be more like 4.5 stars. I really, really liked this book! I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. I thought it would just be a cute little story to read in between other books. When I started it I was a little thrown by the whole crush on a dead guy and expected there to be a lot more the whole Truth or Dare thing but as I read this book quickly went from 3 stars, to 3.5, etc, etc. I never expected to fall so in love with all the characters! Even the Mean Girls! I love Ella and her friends and don't even get me started on Alex! I would have liked a little more Daniel though, but that's just because I love bad boys. If you want to read something that is just going to make you smile from ear to ear, this is the book!

Book #37

The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Definitely not my favorite of the series. I love Violet and Jay. I have no idea why Rafe had to be thrown into the mix. Just once I want the girl to realize what she has when she already has a great guy and not even notice other boys. The Epilogue kind of killed it for me too. Makes me think the next book might be taking a very silly turn.

Book #36

What A Boy Wants by Nyrae Dawn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I'm not really sure how to rate this. This could go anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 stars. I liked it but I didn't. I liked Sebastian, but he kind of annoyed me sometimes. I'm all for a cocky boy but sometimes he comes off as a little conceited and that is not attractive. I'm glad Aspen would call him out on it. I would have liked a little deeper insight into all of their relationships because I feel like we just scratched the surface of them. Maybe I just didn't feel the connection to the characters that I was hoping to. It was a quick and easy read though.

Book #35

City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five stars are not nearly enough for this book. I had almost forgotten how much I love the writing style and the characters of this series. This book has made me love them all the more. It will be a sad day for me when this series comes to an end.

Book #34

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five stars is not nearly enough to rate this book with. For all the anxiety it caused me while reading it, it did not disappoint! I have never been so nervous reading a book before. Thankfully none of the things that I was afraid were going to happen did. I cannot wait to see what the next installment brings. Four has secured his spot on my swoon worthy book boys list, that's for sure. He is definitely one of my favorites!

Book #33

Thumped by Megan McCafferty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is more like 2.5 stars. While, I liked it better than I did Bumped it was still just okay. I'm still not a huge fan of the characters although they did grow somewhat in this book. Some of the slang used aggravates me but I do love some of the names of the drugs! Especially Obliterall! The subject matter is kind of disgusting but then with shows like 16 & Pregnant not all that far fetched from what goes on today.
