See more reviews at YA Midnight ReadsBurn for Burn and Fire with Fire are some of the best high school revenge stories I've ever read. Han and Vivian manage to create drama that doesn't feel aimless or overly melodramatic and characters with incredible depth and growth. It's safe to say that yes, I loved this series up until this very last instalment which has pretty much tainted my feelings towards the entire series. Words do not even begin to explain how disappointed I am with this series ende...
THE ENDING MADE ME SO ANGRY.Angry enough for caps. Ugh, I'm so annoyed! This had so much potential to be great with amazing closure BUT NO. The ending felt like a rushed job and I was just shaking my head in disbelief at the epilogue. No thank you. If you read this series - and I would still recommend it, because the second book is FAB - then completely ignore the epilogue, because trust me, it feels unfinished whether you read it or not, but if you don't then at least you can pretend things wor...
Wow, it sure is crazy how much this book didn't live up to the hype I had for it. I loved Burn for Burn. Fire with Fire was just okay, mainly because it felt like some of the characters didn't act like themselves and the whole reveal about Mary the Ghost. I really hated that reveal. Sadly, Ashes to Ashes takes all of the things that I didn't like from the second book and intensifies it here.After the reveal about Mary being a Ghost and seeing Rennie die in a horrific accident, I thought the book...
Well, that was a freaking Indian soap opera. You know it’s crazy and unrealistic as hell, and yet, you find it hard to take your eyes off the screen – in this case, page. I expected a lot better ending from the authors who write some of the best realistic fiction I’ve known, but looks like they went a bit overboard with the supernatural plot.Taking off after that unexpected twist in Fire with fire, the book moves right into action – the sizzling Tabatsky-Cho romance, Kat’s awesomeness and along
I just finished Fire with Fire like two seconds ago and I can't fricken breath !!!!! I need ashes to ashes to come out like right now ! I can't wait any longer , I petition for an early release !!! *dies*
Read the full review @ A Perfection Called BooksAshes to Ashes had great moments, it had okay moments, it had horrible moments.What I really enjoyed about Ashes to Ashes was the suspense. Readers were on-edge the whole time! This book is a definite page-turner. Having no idea what was going to happen next, I kept reading. There were lots of twists and turns, things I never saw coming. The plot truly attached itself to the reader.The three points of view really brought the story together as a who...
Warning: there will be a lot of cussing involved in this review, because I am pissed off as hell. I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but I cannot give any guarantee about the cussing. My mind is on fire, and the need to vent is insanely banging the insides of my stone-cold heart. Okay, maybe it's not stone-cold, but it's hurt and disappointed and it needs to raaaage.First of all, let it be known that I absolutely loved this series. I was completely immersed in each of the three gir...
This book was headed for 5 stars until the end. I was NOT happy with the way they wrapped it up.
After a fantastic start book and an absolutely epic follow up, I was sure that Ashes to Ashes was going to go out with a bang and cement this series as one of my favourites. I waited (very impatiently) after the cliffhanger in Fire With Fire and I am so fucking mad that THIS is what I got. There will be spoilers in this review but I will hide them under a spoiler tag because everyone needs to know HOW FUCKING ANNOYED I AM.First of all, most of the story was okay. We had Lillia being a QUEEN and
I am not entirely happy with how things ended because dayum! . *Sniffs* But I suppose the authors are just trying to keep it real or as real as a contemporary-slash-paranormal YA could get and yes, you read that right. The series turned out to be a paranormal-mystery-thriller and I honestly enjoyed it. All the while I thought it was going to be a fun YA chick-lit read because of the covers. (lol!). So I won’t be saying anything more than what’s already said because it’s really best to read the s...
The ending was bittersweet/sad. This book was just all over the place, which is perfectly fine when it comes to the fact that there are three protagonists (Mary, Kat, and Lillia). The issue was that there were too many problems/issues that were either handled too quickly, took forever to be addressed, or barely brushed over.As a person who disliked Mary since book 1, I enjoyed the fact that Mary didn't have as many chapters as Lillia or Kat did. As a person who likes Lillia, I was ecstatic to se...
I feel like this series was one crazy, insane, non-stop whirlwind. I loved it. However the ending was so abrupt and not completely satisfying, but I didn't hate it like I thought I would considering other people's reactions. I'm sad it's over, honestly. I would highly recommend this series to anyone.
I really wish I hadn't read the summary for this book, because it just spoiled me for book 2.Goddamn it.
WHAT?! NO NO NO NO NO.I don't even know how to rate this. The epilogue destroyed EVERYTHING for me. I'm so pissed right now. I need a break.______________________________________So after calming down a bit, I think I am able to write down my general thoughts on this last installment. I absolutely adored the first two books and after all the revelations the second book left us with I couldn't wait for the third book to arrive. And in general it didn't disappoint me. Ashes to Ashes was exactly lik...
This was an okay end to the series, but I found the pace quite slow. Mary really became quite psychotic in this book, blaming Reeve for her suicide – like he made her do it! Lillia was totally head over heels for Reeve, and Kat was Kat. The storyline in this was about Mary getting her revenge on Reeve, but the pace was really slow, and it seemed like not a lot happened compared to the length of the book.The ending was okay, but I was pleased it was over by that point.6 out of 10
Actual rating: 3.5 starsThe series has come a long way since the beginning. The girls deal with bigger problems than what to wear to a school dance. The drama intensity was HIGH, to say the least. If you're looking for something with a Pretty Little Liars feel, where everything escalates almost to the unimaginable, this is it!
I really, truly wish I hadn’t read this last installment because it ruined the whole series for me. God, it’s midnight and I’m so fucking close to sobbing my eyes out I can’t believe it. I feel like I never want to read another series ever again.So even though it’s the middle of the night, I’m typing away on my laptop like crazy because I really need to get this off my chest and I’m probably making no sense right now, but I just HATED this ending. It couldn’t have ended worse. I was disappointed...
I stayed up till 4am for this book and the ending just made me want to throw my book out the window but hug it at the same time. The epilogue was so realistic it hurt my feelings. WHY JENNY HAN & SIOBHAN VIVIAN WHY. WHY. WHY!!!!(view spoiler)[I want my Reeve & Lilia back together *CRIES HYSTERICALLY* (hide spoiler)]
Overall Thoughts All I gotta say it that this was such a fun and addictive series! Not to mention just totally off the charts with insanity. It really ended up going somewhere completely weird and unexpected but totally awesome. The second book was by far my favorite cause it had the most twist and turns. And everything leading up to it was just pure fun high school drama and who doesn't enjoy that? lol Really enjoyed this series. Seriously, read it.Until Next Time, Emerald BookWorm
Pretty sure that was one of the worst endings I've ever read which really sucks.The second book was so good and I was so excited to see what would happen next and it was just disappointing. Only one thing was resolved in the end. It felt like all the build up throughout the trilogy fell flat.The only reason this is 3 stars is because I really grew to care about a lot of the characters in these books and I still flew through it and enjoyed the writing styles. It was just a disappointing ending.
