Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

Freaking Awesome

I know I haven't posted in a while, I was in Barcelona and am still recovering from the heat and I am currently supposed to be doing a GCSE German assignment but I'd rather be reading or watching The Big Bang Theory. Totally just became hooked on it. I <3 Sheldon! Anyway, I am on IMDb looking up Mortal Instrument news because they haven't told the world who Simon or Magnus or Valentine are going to be yet and I seriously need to know who Magnus is because he is amazingly awesome and I think he should rule the world. If he weren't an imaginary character in ther awesome Mortal Instruments. If I haven't told you this already, read them, they are freaking awesome. Got two of my friends to read them this summer, Ella (Harry Potter Maniac) can vouch for me, they are FREAKING AWESOME.
But kinda getting off track here, I went down to the recommendations and found out that Fallen by Lauren Kate might be made into a movie. The reason I say might is because I couldn't find anything on her website say it would be made into a film. So I decided to get some Print Screen Proof of this:
I told my Blogger Best Buddy Ciara (Book Worms And Film Enthusiasts) about Alex Pettyfer and how he might be playing Daniel Grigori and she freaked out a little. She only sees him as John Smith from I Am Number Four and hates that he is all the movies. Me, I don't mind. He's fit and lovely. Not as much as Jackson Rathbone and Robert Pattinson but close.


And then, I came across these two possible films:


And if you don't already know, I love Paranormalcy, It's in my top ten books and The Beautiful Creatures are in my top fifteen books. I love all these books and I can't wait for them to become a films.

The Hunger Games Movie: Which Boy Do I Love?

Okay, I know I should apologise for not Blogging in a while but it has been the summer holidays and my computer decided to die. Sometimes I think it hates me. But while my computer has been down, I have read a lot of books. Well a lot for me anyway. And one of them was the first book in the Hunger Games, a story of a girl living in a dystopian future where 24 children each year are chosen to compete in a battle to the death. I thought it was bleeping amazing. Its not normally the kind of thing I read because, lets face it, I love Vampires and Werewolves and the whole Supernatural bizz. But this book proved me wrong in my hate of all things non supernatural, I loved the plot and I loved the characters but thats not why I am Blogging.
I read the book at two of my friends demand: Isobel and Ciara(My Blogger Buddy) and it got the point where I got so curious about these books that I just had to read them and the fact that in Maths I was learning nothing because Isobel wouldn't shut up about Peeta. I knew the film was coming out so I read the book so I knew what would be happening in the film. I Loved the book and I am currently in the process of buying the next one, as soon as my allowance comes in because I spent all of it on my birthday shopping trip with Ciara on nothing we really needed. Except Zombie tops because Zombie tops are awesome.
But still that is not why I am Blogging today, I am going a bit off subject, I am Blogging because I have a dilema. Like Twilight, there are two very very attractive boys. Peeta and Gale. Now, everyone I know has a thing for Peeta and I can see where they are coming from, he is incredibly sweet and the actor they chose to play him is quite good looking:
I mean, WoW. That boy is FINE.

I love Peeta and all and he is super sweet and he really does love Katniss. But its her best friend that I am more drawn to. However that may just because the actor who plays him is also very very attractive. I don't really know the character of Gale yet because he was only in a few scenes but he seemed nice and I think, in my mind that he also really loves Katniss but he doesn't really know how to show it. I mean look at him:
He's the one facing the camera. And he looks amazing facing it too.


But who do you prefer, Gale The Hunter or Peeta The Bakers Son with really nice Biceps?
They both look pretty nice in this picture

The Demon Trappers: Forbidden by Jana Oliver




Blurb:
Riley's beginning to think being a demon trapper isn't all it's cracked up to be. Her dad's been stolen by a necromancer, her boyfriend's gone all weird and she's getting warm and fuzzy feelings for someone who's seriously bad news. It's tempting to give it all up and try to be normal, but that's not an option. Because the demons have plans for Riley. And they're not the only ones.
  
Review:
One of the best books I have read in a long time. Sometimes Sequels don't work out and authors tend to do the New Moon, 'wallow in self pity because my boyfriend dumped me so I could be safe and fall in love with another good paranormal boy who fights with my ex boyfriend for my love in the third one' (try saying that three times fast.) But this was nothing like it. This had adrenaline, this had love from everywhere and this book had a hell of a lot double crossing.
The book starts only a few hours after the last one left off, which is pretty cool since nothing is missed out. Riley has made her deal with heaven, she's determind to uncover who is faking the Holy Water and finding her dad and returning him to his grave. Sounds easy enough, right, but her boyfriend Simon (Nice Catholic Boy) has gone freaky, Beck (Backwoods Boy) is even more protective and annoying and Hottie Ori is protecting her from the demon who killed her father and is now out to kill her. But this book doesn't only center on Rileys story in all of this, it follows Beck and Ori too. Beck is only about keeping Riley safe and alive, while battling his feelings for her which he has to keep bottled up. Ori, is all about the Demon he has to kill to keep Riley safe, but what are his reasons. Well, I can't tell you since its so amazing why he does it. 
The characters are as amazing as in the last book. Riley is still proving that she can Trap Demons no matter what gets in her way and who is trying to stop her. Beck is just as sweet as ever, he wants to keep Riley alive and make his old trapping partners daughter safe, while harbouring the feelings he has for her. Simon, on the other hand, I could punch the boy (but I won't since he is a fictional character) and I have decided to take him off my list of boys I wish weren't fictional. He changes after the fire at the Tabernacle and not for the better.
All in all, this book was well a truly amazing and I have recommended it to my Blogger Buddy Ciara who read it only a few minutes ago and loved the whole book just as much as I did. If you can't take advice from two fourteen year old bookworms, then who can you take advice from?
