The New Hunger by : Isaac Marion


Synopsis :
The end of the world didn’t happen overnight. 
After years of societal breakdowns, wars and quakes and rising tides, humanity was already near the edge. Then came a final blow no one could have expected: all the world’s corpses rising up to make more. 
Born into this bleak and bloody landscape, twelve-year-old Julie struggles to hold on to hope as she and her parents drive across the wastelands of America, a nightmarish road trip in search of a new home. 
Hungry, lost, and scared, sixteen-year-old Nora finds herself her brother’s sole guardian after her parents abandon them in the not-quite-empty ruins of Seattle. 
And in the darkness of a forest, a dead man opens his eyes. 
Who is he? What is he? With no clues beyond a red tie and the letter “R,” he must unravel the grim mystery of his existence—right after he learns how to think, how to walk, and how to satisfy the monster howling in his belly. The New Hunger is a glimpse of the past and a path to an astonishing future…
Synopsis source : goodreads

So this is the prequel of Warm Bodies. This is show what happen to Julie, Nora and some tall zombie before they are meeting each other.

Actually I was hoping to read on what causing this apocalypse. However this story is a few years after the zombie infection. So we don't really know what causing this zombie apocalypse.

However this novel have interesting storyline. We can see what happen when a person have been infected with zombie.

Overall, this novel have interesting storyline and eventhough this is the prequel of Warm Bodies but it is more suitable reading it after the Warm Bodies. However I have one question, is the tall man (zombie) is R? I suppose R is a man wearing some hoodies not some formal wear with tie. Oh well..

With that I rate it 3 and half out of 5.. :D

Fallen (Book 1) by: Lauren Kate


Synopsis :

What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours? 
17-year-old Lucinda falls in love with a gorgeous, intelligent boy, Daniel, at her new school, the grim, foreboding Sword & Cross . . . only to find out that Daniel is a fallen angel, and that they have spent lifetimes finding and losing one another as good & evil forces plot to keep them apart.  
Get ready to fall . . . 
Synopsis source : Goodreads

So this novel took a really long time for me to finish it. The novel have interesting storyline. However each time I read it, it hard to understand and sometimes I just don't know what is the story is all about.

The storyline have a slow pace and when the story just started to kick off, the novel have ended. All those chapters are unnecessary and just trying to tell the audience how Luce is unfit in the new school..

Overall, towards the ends the story started to become interesting and well, next to next book then. There are just so much mystery that need to be unravel.

With that I rate this book 2 out of 5.. :D

Warm Bodies by: Isaac Marion


Synopsis :

R is having a no-life crisis--he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization. 
And then he meets a girl. 
First as his captive, then his reluctant guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn't want to eat this girl--although she looks delicious--he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight. 

Synopsis source : goodreads

I have watch the movie based on this novel. This novel have more in depth compare the movie. Who knew R was married in this novel.

In this novel, R have more character and caring. He is more like human LOL. For me I love this novel more than the movie. The books have more depth in terms of, R keeps dreams about Perry and Perry actually give a good advice to him. The bonding between him and Perry have their own meaning itself and I love it.

With that I rate this book 5 out of 5.... :D

So have you watch Warm Bodies movie and read the books? Which one do you like more and why?

Diego mysteriously disappears,
leaving Bree even more confused and disconcert.

Synopsis source : eclipsemovie



A short stories about eclipse novella.. This story is another side of story on the newborns on the Seattle..... For me it really fun to read another side of story perspective other than Bella... So this gonna be a short review.. The storyline is great but sad..Poor Bree that is all I got to say... I suppose it need to clearly show what happen to Diego.. It still a mystery for me =.=;  It interesting to read for the Twilight Saga fans I guess... So anyway I give this short story around 3 out of 5...

This review is the Breaking Down novel....

Synopsis :


When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved? 
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the fates of two tribes hangs. 
Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella's life--first discovered in Twilight, then scattered and torn in New Moon and Eclipse--seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed... forever? 
The astonishing, breathlessly anticipated conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.

My review....

I'm disappointed with this novel... I never thought that it really bad... I really enjoyed reading Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse... Breaking Down is just bad... Really bad... So first when I first read the novel it kinda simple and rush... After the wedding it only focus on the honeymoon and suddenly the story change character perspective... The story start changing the story perspective and at first I don't even know who is "I".... Damn I read it until 2-3 pages until I know who is "I"... The story doesn't clearly indicate that  they are changing story perspective... I thought it was Bella's perspective until I read many odd names... 

And then for Jacob .... I just pity him.. He is such a good characters... He just can't move on because of that stupid Bella... I love him until he become attached with Renesmee and he becoming more and more annoying... So right now... I hate Jacob.. He sort of creeps me up... @_@

The last thing that I really hate the ending.... The ending is so bad.... Ahhhh I hope to see some awesome fight for the last novel.. What I get??? Talking and more talking.... This is so stupid.. I prepare to see some death and cry for something and all I get is stupid happy ending.... I actually want to see Volturi to be crush or something... Zzz...

So overall... Hate this novel.. I just give it 2 out of 5!!!... Done with the review...

So I finally finish the final book of Trylle trilogy.. So a bit synopsis first

Synopsis from the back cover :

"Wendy Everly is facing an impossible choice. The only way to save the Trylle from their  deadliest enemy is by sacrificing herself. If she doesn't surrender to the Vittra, her people  will be thrust into a brutal war against an unbeatable foe. But how can Wendy leave all her friends behind... even  if it's only  way to save them? 
The stakes have never been higher, because her kingdom isn't the only thing she stands to lose. After falling for both  Finn and Loki , she's about to make the ultimate  choice.. who  to love forever. One guy has finally proven to be the love of her life  - and now all  their lives might be coming to end. 
Everything has been leading to this moment. The future of her entire world  rests in her hands - if she's ready to fight for it."

The tagline for this books is..

"What if  the only way to save your world is to leave it behind?"



Ascend is the continuation from the Book 2 : Torn (click here for review) from the Trylle Trilogy. The first book is Switched (click here fore review)..


*Spoiler alert!!!! *

My review... I don't know why.. This book seems so sad for me.. Wendy becoming  more mature and I just missed how innocent she is in the book one... Switched( Click here for review) ...  She becoming more like her mother... What else.. I  just missed Finn,  Rhys and Matt in this book... They seems  like a  minor  characters now and I just want more story involving them :(

*End Spoiler*

So yeah.. The storyline is great and all... I just missed some of the characters... :( I can see the character development in most  of the characters... Then the  ending  is great.. It really conclude the Trylle trilogy... What else?? I  think that is all... I give it 3 and half out of 5....

Yay finally I get the this copies... Really dying  to read it and now I just got it....

So the synopsis from the back cover :

"When Wendy  Everly  first discovered the truth about herself - that she's a changeling switched at birth  - she knew her life would never be the same. Now she's about to learn that there's more to the story.... 
Wendy shares a closer connection to her Vittra rivals  that she ever imagined - and  they'll stop at nothing to lure her to their side.With the threat of war looming, her only  hope of saving the Trylle is  to master her magical powers - and marry an equally powerful royal. But that  means walking away from Finn, her handsome bodyguard who's strictly off-limits.... and Loki, a Vittra prince  with whom  she shares a  growing attraction. 
Torn between  her heart and her people, between love and duty, Wendy must decide her fate. If she makes the wrong choice, she could  lose everything - and everybody - she's ever wanted... in both worlds."

The  tagline of  this novel is

"To save your friends, would you  sacrifice true love?"
This novel is the continuation of the novel Switched that I  had review  before.(click here to view  the review)

This novel is still great.. I like how the author trying to remind reader some of the terms that had  been explained on  the Switched. This novel's title Torn really show what it really mean..  At first I thought she is  torn into going back to human life or going back being a princess.. I guess I was wrong.. It is more than  that she is torn between her responsibility and her desire.. Torn between two sides.. The good sides and the bad sides  which both needs her..

So for  me  this novel is great.. I need more.. I finish  it only in one day!! o.O I can see  the characters development in here...  Wendy from being a spoiled, stubborn and innocent girls becoming more  mature  princess...  It kinda sad seeing her like that.. She becoming more like her mother =.=;

So anyway  overall love  this novel I'm give 4 out of 5.. :D


Looking forward on  the final sequel..  Ascend :D

Just finish this novel.. Take me a couple of days to finish reading this. The first impression is when I read the synopsis on the back cover of the book making me hooked right away ;)

"When Wendy Everly was six-years-old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. It isn't until eleven years later than Wendy discovers her mother might been right.

When the intense and darkly handsome newcomer Finn suddenly turns up at her bedroom window one night - her world is turned upside down. He holds the key to her past and is the doorway to a place she never imagined could exist,..."

source : from the back cover of the novel

The synopsis I read from the back cover sound really interesting and what interest me more is the tag line that they used

"What if your entire world is built on a lie?"
Yup then I took the book and buy it. I glad that I buy it. It really a great novel. I really like these kind of story. A bit of romance, adventure and fantasies. Really love it. It making me thinking monster is not bad at all. They are another of mystical race. From what I can say, the storyline is great. The character development is great too, I can see the character development from Wendy from the beggining story and at the end of story. The way the writer describe each character also sound very an interesting character. So what I can say more this is another novel that I really like.

I'm so looking forward to read the sequels of the "Torn" and "Ascend"

Some infomation:

This novel is one of the Trylle Trilogy.

And this is Amanda Hocking


So overall this novel is great and is recommended. Give it 4 out of 5 ;)
