"I don't believe in fate," he said carefully, "but... I do believe everything happens for a reason. That there is some plan, some meaning to this darkness we live in." Julie Kagawa, you did it again. You held my heart in your fist and masterfully let me see the lights of paradise just so you could, in the end, beautifully destroy me. You ripped my heart in tiny little pieces and I'm still here, days after ending The Eternity Cure, trying to hold on to sanity. Believe me, after what you did at

I reached a point where I started believing that I outgrew YA. Repetitive plot and annoying characters –among other things- kept me away from this genre. I’m glad I decided to read this trilogy it’s quite refreshing. If I was true to myself –especially since it’s by no means a perfect book- I would’ve rated it 4 stars but honestly? This was too damn fun. I read 92% of the book in one sitting before I went to sleep at 4 am yesterday. I could not stop reading. At that point, everything seemed to b...

OH. MY. GOD2013????Or Not Do you know what's worse than having to wait for the next book of your favourite series?----------------------------------------------------------------------EDIT August 20th44 LIKES? Woooow My reviews have never EVER been liked before (probably because they suck and I'm new here)I can't wait to actually review this book ;)EDIT September 24thSo many reunions awaited... Percy and Annabeth...Allie and Kanin...*Sigh*EDIT March 5th.OMG CAN'T WAIT!EDIT March 31stTHE ANTICIPA...

A year of waiting might just turn me into a rabid. So if you wake up one night and see a pale, emaciated creature with a mouth full of sharp teeth clawing at your window, Ms. Kagawa, don't be scared. Just hand over the manuscript and I won't eat you.

EDIT: So the cover is up and I'm actually happy with it. I'm very please Harlequin dropped the model from The Immortal Rules who wasn't Asian and went in a different direction. It's not my favorite cover in the world, but it's not bad either. -----------------Let me love you. <3

I thought that I was obsessed with Jackal after the first book. Well, if that was an obsession, I don't know what is it now!4/5⭐So, a couple of notes:-I think that this one was better than the previous one. Especially the beginning was very strong. -First hundred something pages I could not stop grinning but then chapter 8 came, and it went downhill. -I love Jackal even more than in the previous book. -Jackal and Allison have amazing dynamics between them. So much fun. -Where I was so happy that...

Julie. Oh, Julie. I love you so much.But you tore my heart to pieces, Ms. Thing. ._.This was everything I wanted in a sequel. It had action, it had emotion, it had character development, it had plot development, it had everything that I needed.The story continues with Allison still on the search for Kanin, who's being held hostage and tortured by Sarren, a psychotic vampire. The trail leads to Allison stumbling upon Jackal, however, her blood brother, and the two form an unlikely alliance to sea...

“There are no good choices, Allison,' Kanin offered in a quiet voice. 'There are only those you can live with, and those you can work to change.” Not many times happens to me, but this time I had to wait a while to process everything that had happened and put my thoughts in order so I hope can write a decent review, here I go :)When I finished the first book, literally I went immediately for the next one,I was excited to see how the story would continue , and to be honest my expectat

There are two types of families, one we are born to, and one we choose. We can't choose the former, the latter forms almost inadvertently sometimes, but they're just as important. My friend told me that once, and that quote leaped to my mind as I read this book. I love the twisted dynamics of the family that poor Allison has got herself into in The Eternity Cure. I didn't really like the concept of this series when I reluctantly started reading it, but The Immortal Rules turned out to be better

I’m not sure how to proceed with this review WITHOUT resorting to a shit ton of gifs. I just really feel like some kind of crazy wild action would better represent how I feel than words ever could.I mean, I could say that The Eternity Cure is one badass tale that left me desperate for more because this story was fucking awesome. Or I could just do this:Which is, no joke, my exact facial expression upon finishing this book. I think it actually stayed like that for a full two minutes.I could tell

Okay. Was I the only one who thought that this blue cover was just a placeholder? Well its not. Its the actual cover. (The information about it can be read on Julie Kagawa's blog) As said in her blog post, there are many reasons why they chose to "remake" the cover of The Immortal Rules series. Some of these reasons include the original cover not being "dystopian enough". Ahem. Sorry. I just choked. Seriously. I did not just do that because I think its BS. Nope. Not at all. What in the world mak...

HOLD UP.Um, hi, ending? Yeah? I'm a human? I have emotions? Emotions that have been stomped on, thrown in a garbage disposal, crushed, mangled, eaten, regurgitated, and then taped back together, but not to the point where I'm back to normal. Thank you, for that last world crushing, feels inducing, last page. That last page swooped down carrying relief, happiness, and feels (oh yes, the feels), but also dread and terror BECAUSE. If you read this already, you got me. Let's cry together. Holy frick...

Final rating: 5/5 stars “There are no good choices, Allison,” Kanin offered in a quiet voice. “There are only those you can live with, and those you can work to change.” I need to recover from this one. My mind is blown into pieces. My heart has been repeatedly smashed into the wall, picked up and smashed again. But thankfully i am still alive.This sequel is probably the best book i have read this year and in a while. Absolutely amazing, full of action, fast paced and totally ended wit...

"I smelled blood as soon as I walked into the room..."And with that line begins one of the most enthralling, bloody, violent and emotional books I've read in a long time. For a book that is a combination of two of the most over-saturated young adult genres - dystopian and vampire-centric urban fantasy - this is a story which feels completely original in its execution and is utterly captivating from its grisly opening to its jaw-dropping climax. If, like me, you weren't sure about The Immorta

I repeat: I.Do.Not.Like.Vampire.Books! And you see that rating up there?It should say 6 stars, but I don’t know where in the Fringe the last one might be. I should report it missing because in fact.. I.ADORED.THIS.BOOK!After reading this story I might have left only one neuron (the others have gone looking for Eden again) and it’s a bit fuzzy around the edges, intoxicated by all these mind-blowing turnarounds. I barely got my head around one piece of information when another bomb was thrown...

Final verdict: 2.5/5 but rounded up to 3Disclaimer: Lots of swearing ahead. I am so sorry. I don't usually curse a lot, but this book disappointed me too much. I deserve some space to vent these feelings out.God knows how much I detest books whose paranormal elements center around Vampires. This biased feeling of mine wasn't influenced by Twilight in any way, although that saga definitely made it worse, but I guess it's just something that stemmed from reading books that portray such creatures i...

After Reading: AMAZING BOOK!!!!But...THAT ENDING!!!!!! Before Reading: WHAT?!IT COMES OUT AFTER THE WORLD ENDS?!!*cries*EDIT:YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!There's a title now! It sounds so awesome! XDANOTHER EDIT:OH MY HOLY FREXING DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The immortal rules might be made into a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Palomar Pictures Options The Immortal Rules and Blood of Eden Series by New York Times Bestselling Author Julie KagawaTHIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!XDANOTHER ONE OF MY NUMEROUS EDITS:Oka

Rating Clarification: 3.5 starsBefore I start with the glum and doom I need to say that THIS SERIES IS AWESOME AND NEEDS TO BE READ.The first book of the Blood of Eden series was such a phenomenal start that I knew keeping up that standard was going to be tough, but I was so excited about how much I loved it that I was expecting even better for this next installment. However, I was a bit disappointed. I didn't enjoy The Eternity Cure nearly as much as I did The Immortal Rules . I found that All...

AFTER RE-READING 31 July 2013 I finally came up with my Top 10 12 quotations. There are so many that I had a hard time narrowing it down to ten twelve.1. You and me, sister, we're exactly the same. Fight it as long as you want--in the end, the monster always wins. -Jackal2. You can't save anyone now. The requiem has started, and when the last melody plays, the only applause will be sweet, eternal silence. -Sarren3. In that moment, I'd never wanted to be human more, just so I could be with Ezekie...

The middle book in the trilogy and as with the first book I almost loved it, but not quite. My main issue was probably the sheer relentlessness of the action. I enjoy action and I enjoy a fast pace to a story, but there needs to be some peace occasionally and time to breathe and recover. I suppose the banter between Allie and Jackal is intended to bring some comic relief but it is only minor and not always especially funny. Nevertheless it is a good story and well told even if I did skim the fig...
