Book Review: The Hunt

Book Review: The Hunt

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda

Book Summary: DON'T SWEAT. DON'T LAUGH. DON'T DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.
And most of all, whatever you do, do not fall in love with one of them.
  Gene is different from everyone else around him. He can't run with lightning speed, sunlight doesn't hurt him, and he doesn't have an unquenchable lust for blood. Gene is a human, and he knows the rules. Keep the truth a secret. It's the only way to stay alive in a world of night-a world where humans are considered a delicacy and hunted for their blood.
  When he's chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt the last remaining humans, Gene's carefully constructed life begins to crumble around him. He's thrust into the path of a girl who makes him feel things he never thought possible-and into the ruthless pack of hunters whose suspicions about his true nature are growing. Now that Gene has finally found something worth fighting for, his need to survive is stronger than ever-but is it worth the cost of his humanity?
Syi's Summary: Gene is a human, probably the only human left in his world. Others around him are vampire, who can run in a lightning speed, lust for blood, and sunlight or any light would hurt them. Gene is very different, he doesn't do any of those things, his academic is excellent and always ace his exams. But he have many rules about him surviving in a world of vampires. Rules that he can't escape from. Though he broke some once when he was very young. But soon, some of the people soon suspect him, wondering if his human or vampire. Gene now have to now what to fight for if he wants to survive blending in with vampires.
Book rate: 10!

This book reminds me of the Hunger Games, though this book have vampires in it. So sort of like the Hunger Games. This book was interesting enough. Read some in the afternoon, finish in bed. I almost crush some of the pages while dozing to sleep, but remember that I have a book in bed so The Hunt is still alive.Glad is not all wrinkly, still looks pretty new.

Everyday Gene spend his morning time shaving hair from his body, polishing his fake fangs, filing his nails, and many more before he goes to school. It's pretty hard for him since he is a human and the people outside are vampires. Need to hide his true nature and survive without being notice.

Though even if he tries to runaway or forget about himself as human is very hard, since at school he still get pick on a lot from teachers, since he ace every exam and very intelligent, which one of his father's rules, never ace any exams. Well looks like Gene just broke is.

So for the Hunt there are many covers for it.
Here are some of it:

This one is what I have. Though I really like the first one, but oh well, it's still looks good. The second one is okay too, but Barnes and Nobles didn't have it, so I went with this one.

Here is the second book os this fabulous story.
The Prey comes out on January 29, 2013.  The same day as Prodigy. Legend's second bok by Marie Lu. Both my favorite series.

Hope you like it. Happy Reading.

Book Review: 1NF1N1TY

Book Review: 1NF1N1TY

1NF1N1TY by Rachel Ward

Book Summary: Mia's trusting eyes fix on mine and her number fills my head. I don't see numbers, but I know hers. Adam told me. 02202054. It's better than what she started with, but it's not enough. I feel sick at the thought. Mia can't die so soon;she's too young. She needs to find another number, a better number. But how?
Syi: Summary: Mia is a two year old girl who's mother is Sarah and Adam. Adam can see numbers and the numbers that he sees is the death numbers. Which is the death date when people dies. e found out about Mia's number and hope she find another one that is better since hers is 02202054, that means that she will die at the age of 27, too young. Later on in the story they bump into Saul, one of their enemy that they should avoid though he took Mia away and they have no choose but to follow him. Saul only took Mia away because he wants Adam's powers and trick him to giving him and as a trade he will keep away from his family. But that was a lie, Saul can still numbers in the last minute of his death date and tried to take Adam's or Sarah's or Mia's depending on which one is better. During that imprison Sarah found out that Mia have the same power as Adam's Nan, who can see people's aura. But in the end Saul die and fails to get the numbers he wants and Adam and his family live happily with each other.

Book Rate:  9.7 :)

I really like this book but too bad I didn't read the second book The Chaos so I don't know what happen in the beginning of the story. The first book was great, skip the second book, and the third book as fantastic. I should really read the second book to catch up with the story.

But anyways, it's really sad of how you have some kind of power and people is after it and then after a second or later you get separate from your family and the love ones. It's really sad and depressing. Though Adam's powers can see people's death date which when they die. Mia's powers can see people's aura.

I really like Mia and her powers but she's still a little baby but can draw well. Different from any child, which normal baby draw with their fists but Mia draw like people who learn how to write already. I find that pretty interesting and cool, a nice gift from her mother.

So here are the prequels to Infinity:
Num8ers, the first book with different types of covers.
The Chaos, second book.

That's it with the review!

~Happy Reading to All~

Book Review: Summer and Bird

Book Review: Summer and Bird

Summer and Bird by Katherine Catmull

Book Summary: When their parents disappear in the middle of the night, a cryptic picture message from theirmother leads young sisters Summre and Bird through a familiar gate into the woods where the sad electric song of a tiny patchwork bird draws them Down. In this ruined, frozen world of birds, their divided hearts will lead them in very different directions in a quest toward united goals: Vanquish the ravenous, bird-swaalowing Puppeteer and reveal the true heir to the swan queen's throne.
Syi's Summary: Summer and Bird's parents disappear at midnight, left the two young sister alone. Though they found a message from their mother and determine to find her and their father. Going through the gate and into the woods going Down, it led the two sister in different directions. Summer, the older sister was left alone in the woods while Bird the younger sister went another way according to her birdsong. Later, they regroup when they found their mother as the queen swan and that she chooses Summer as the next queen. But Bird argue that Summer is not a bird and that I am a bird that I should be the queen. That Summer and her father left her mother and Bird in the Bird castle and left back to their house.

Book Rate: 9.5

This book is very sad about how both of their parents left them alone to find them.

I find the names of the character really cool. Like Summer and Bird. Birds like to fly around during Summer and Summer enjoys Bird flying. tought the character Summer doesn't likeit when Bird sings but summer is a human and Bird is bird.

Their father was a human and their mother is a bird though they do not know that until the end when they found both their father and mother. This boook is the most interesting story I ever read. But it's only an ARC. I found a lot of mistakes in this book well that because their not published yet.

That's all I have for this review. Getting lazy to type some more.

Anyways Happy Reading to All!

Books! Books! BOOKS!

So I got five new books for Christmas.

They are: City of Lost Souls, City of Fallen Angels, Elemental, The Iron Legends, and Maximum Ride The Manga vol. 6

Pictures:


 I love The Iron Series very much and so is the The Mortal Instruments.

Figure I that I should try Elemental since it's in my to-read list so I bought it and see if it's good.

I have tons of good books in my to-read list that I'm wanting to buy on my next trip to Barnes and Nobles.

Book Review: Shadowlands

Book Review: Shadowlands

Shadowlands by Kate Brian

Book Summary: Rory Miller had one chance to fight back, and she took it. Rory survived...and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as good-bye.
  Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but they haven't gotten along for years. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they're starting to feel safe, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?
Syi's Summary: Rory have been attacked by her math teacher Mr. Nell in the forest. She qickly went back home and told her dad and the FBI came to investigate about what happen. Rory and her family soon learn that Steven Nell is a serial killer who killed fourteen girls all over the countries and Rory has been marked as the fifteen girl he is about to get. So Rory and her family have to move into a witness protection and was ship of the Juniper Landing. There Rory and her family changed their last name and met a group of carefree teenagers. They started hanging out and going to parties, hiking, running, and surfing together. Though Rory thought it was getting safer and safer in this island then one of her new friends is missing. And then her sister Darcy went missing also. Rory began to feel unsafe again and ask her group of new friends to help her find her sister. And soon found that Steven Nell has her. Rory went running for Darcy and Steven Nell was attacked and they were fine. But Rory find that it was like a nightmare and the world that she has been is destroy.

Book Rate: 9.6

I found this book pretty good, but I don't get the end. It was really confusing. Though overall the book is fabulous. Is like a mystery, finding themissing person and solving a crime.

I really like the character in the book like Tristan and Krista. They are the Major's children and they are nice. So is the other character. They were nice to Rory and her sister, Darcy.

At first when Rory and her family arrivied, Rory was having flashes about Steven Nell. And they thought it was still not save here, because Rory kept on seeing things and hearing things that is about Steven Nell. And yeah I would get that. Moving into a new place when you were chase by a serial killer in your old life, It's pretty scary. I would hear things and see things that weren't suppose to be seen.

At first when I saw thw cover of the book, I thought the girl was talking on the phone so I thought it wsa going to be boring but then I read the summary and turn out pretty interesting. So that's why never judge a book by its cover unless you read the suumary of the book or the first page. Then if you don't like it you could judge it.

~Happy Reading to all Bookworms and Bookfandom

Book Review: A Monster Calls

Book Review: A Monster Calls

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

Book Summary: THE MONSTER SHOWED UP AFTER MIDNIGHT.
As they do. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming. . . .
   This monster, though,is something different. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor.
   It wants the truth.
Syi's Summary: Conor have been having a nightmare with a monster that look like a giant tree coming to his house talking to him. It all started when his mother started using the new treatments.

Though Conor believes that she would get better because of the new treatments that she is taking. Thought the monster tells him a tale about what is going to happen to Conor and that he have to let go of his mother and tell the truth or he will be trap inside of the nightmare forever.

Book Rate: 10!

This book is great. I really really like it. So My friend gaveme a ebook copy of The Knife of Not Letting Go by Patrick Ness, so I read it and didn't much like it though I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads. So after reading A Monster Calls, I'm going to give another try for The Knife of Not Letting go.

A Monster Calls is very sad. I almost cry when the part his was holding on to his mother when she was calling his name and was about to fall down. Though in the end he did let go of his mother when she was about to die in the hospitol. It's a very sad book to read ;(. But very interesting of how he lets the bullies beat him and even lie to the teachers about it. I feel sorry for him and his mother. And his parents divorce because of his mother's mom being all that. Such a sad book. Though it was kind of scary about the monster keep on talkin to him at midnight. It looks kind of ugly.

The book is like a picture book because it have a full page of pictures and on the background there is alwasy a picture even if there is writing on it. But I'm find with that as long is a good book and it is a FABULOUS BOOK.

Ok that's all for this fabulous book.

~HAPPY READING~

                            ()()
Book Summary: 10! (>~<)

This book was a ARC and it was realy good. I actually like this one and there is some Romance if anybody is interested into Romance. But it is not the Romance that you would expect. Though even if there's no romance this book is still good. I really recommend this book to everybody.If you want to read this book it comes out at March 12,2013. It seems like all the good books comes out in 2013, which is almost here. Or I should say the end of the world is almost here!!! Is anybody scare?

Anyways let's move on to the book details.

I really think that Fred and Kyra should be together. They really make a good couple, though Kyra was upset when she found out that she lost her pig and was founded by one of the villagers an was bought by Fred. She really thought that he likes that pig and follow her around. At the beginning Fred found her crossing the water with a pig on her head and most of her clothes off and saw her drowning or something and save her and forgot to save her bag.

There was some funny scenes. Kyra is sometimes very stubborn, like when Fred invites her to eat lunch with him and his dog she said no and left though Fred gave her a farwell gift of a dog bisscuits.

This book is a recommended book that you must read. I really love it and you should like it as well unless you have anothertaste of the book.

So Have a happy reading of the book you are reading now!
