Review: The Diabolic by S.J. Kincaid.

Synopsis:

Nemesis is a Diabolic. Created to protect a galactic Senator's daughter, Sidonia. The girl who has grown up by her side and who is as much as sister as a master. There's no one Nemesis wouldn't kill to keep her safe. But when the power-mad Emperor summons Sidonia to the galactic court as a hostage, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia.

She must become her.

Now one of thgalaxy's most dangerous weapons is masquerading in a world of corruption and Nemesis has to hide her true abilities or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns that there is something stronger than her deadly force: the one thing she's been told she doesn't have - humanity. And, amidst all the danger, action and intrigue, her humanity might be the only thing that can save her, Sidonia and the entire Empire...

Review: Cursed (The watchers)

Sorry for my delay!
Hope you are enjoying TLF.

Review: After months craving this book I finally got it! And what an unpleasant surprise it was.

Not that I find the book bad, actually I find it really easy to read and with quite fascinating ideas, though after a while you feel a strong need to stop specially because of the characters.

They seem to be characterized only by one aspect, you have Tara that is extremely loyal and that stands for a friend, Lily, no matter what, but after a while it kind of becomes annoying since that seems to be the only thing she does (that and eat white dirt o.O). Then you have Brad whose perfectness made me dislike him a little – just for a while – even though he’s British and all… Lily is also a little boring, always depending on someone to help her and always needing a men in her life. Hereafter we have Will, who I personally find quite interesting due to is past with Lily and his aura of mysteriousness and …

WOW what was that? He’s a what?! He’s what?

That completely blow my mind, you are so focused in finding out what Lily really is and who’s after her and then BOUM Will is the one holding the most interesting secret and identity.

Over all I think that Cursed is a decent but I won’t, in a near future, read the second. I’ve tried I promised.

Rate: 2.5

Review: Darkness Before Dawn

Review:

In this book J. A. London managed to create a completely unreal wold that becomes more and more real at every time you turn a page.

Only sunlight can save us.

''We built the wall to keep them out, to keep us safe. But it also makes us prisoners, trapped in what's left of our ravaged city, fearing nightfall.

After the death of my parents, it's up to me—as the newest delegate for humanity—to bargain with our vampire overlord. I thought I was ready. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the monsters. Then again, nothing could have prepared me for Lord Valentine . . . or his son. Maybe not all vampires are killers. Maybe it's safe to let one in.

Only one thing is certain: Even the wall is not enough. A war is coming and we cannot hide forever.''

With enigmatic character that catch your attention from the first appearance. The main character, Dawn, feels real. Her problems are ours (teen’s) problems written in a more interesting way.

As any other great romance, Darkness before dawn, has that intriguing bad boy who you’re instantly going to love and hate, feel the need to kill and protect, all at the same time.

You can consider this book perfect for a vampire lover, but for me, more than being a book about vampires, it’s a book that transmits important lesson. A lesson about the importance of accepting your fears so that you become able to fight them and about the power of friendship, which can help you beat an unfair life.

Rate: 9.6/10

More information: This book is a saga with two more books, Blood-Kissed Sky and After Daybreak. You can find them in Amazon and Book Depository and many more.  

I highly recomend them all.

I'll be giving you my thoughts about the others as well.

Favourite: ''Some times we just want to prove we are not afraid of the dark''

Review: Me Before You

Review:

Normally, I don’t fancy books like this one, actually, I find them quite depressing, because, when I read, I do it to forget my problems and to dive into a world in which everything, one way or the other, ends with a happy ever after.

Me before you brings us the story of Lou and Will. Lou is a girl who likes to have everything planned, she even know how many steps she has to give from the bus stop to her home for God’s sake! Will was a very active person who finds itself confine to a wheelchair, quadriplegic, after a terrible accident.

Will has lost is will to live and Lou has lost her job. Now their lives are entwined and Lou has six months to change Will’s mentality.

However, while this is a good book, it’s one of those in which you know that it’s going to hurt you, you can feel the darkness rising threatening your happy ending, you just don’t mind, because the book it’s fascinating.

I don’t know I will be keen on reading the next but this one, really made me think about what I’m doing with my life and how quick you can have everything taken away from you.

This is tale about love, loss, grief and anger definitely worth reading. Personally I find this book very inspirational.

Good work Jojo Moyes.

Rate: 9.5/10
