The Blurb: Bad boys are unreliable, uncaring, arrogant, immature, disrespectful players with no care for laws, rules, guidelines or girls’ feelings, according to Jacey Collins. Good girls are condescending, conceited, stuck-up, vain b*****s who stay inside the boundaries and don’t know how to live life, according to Colton Shaw. So what happens when you put Jacey Collins, a good girl, with Colton Shaw, a bad boy in the same house for a year? Parties, alcohol, secret relationships, betrayal, fights, heart break, break-ups, hook-ups, one-night-stands, pain, tears, anger, revenge-seeking-enemies, and I'm only getting started.

Rule number 4: 'If a girl falls into the following criteria, she is off limits forever until the end of time: A. Was a bro's ex-girlfriend. B. Your bro specifically told you he wanted her. C. Is your bro's sister.' Eliza O'Conner happened to be all three. Nick Maguire, the king player of East High, knew better than to fall in love. So then what was he doing with the sister of his best-friend? And how far would he go to keep it a secret?

My Opinion: Love Story written by a male? And in male POV? I'm there! It's a nice chance to see how their minds work! Besides, it's forbidden love. What's better than forbidden love?

The Blurb:
Lucas is a player, who is handsome, caring, and above all extremely charming. Megan is the complete opposite, she is gorgeous but doesn't know it. Guys falls in love with her instantly, not just because of her amazing looks, but also because of the innocent personality that comes goes along with those looks. Lucas is Megan's older brother's best friend. In a total cliche kind of way for as long back as Megan could remember she has been in love with Lucas. She grew up with him and would trust him with her life, but could she trust him with her heart? While she waits along the wings for Lucas to finally notice her as more than his best friend's little sister, there are plenty of men chasing Megan. Will Lucas realize his feelings for her before it is too late. Or will Megan decide to move on and pursue one of her many offers?

They're going to wish they never got on Flight 21

My Opinion: A rebel girl, a rude 'conceited' boy (that word keeps reminding me of Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice) alone in an island? That's one nice plot! It is under the category of 'Vampire', so maybe he is one? I don't know, I'll read it!

My Opinion: I get too carried away by my Direction Infection, I am a crazy directioner!! This one looks amazing! I have never read a Zayn fanfic, and he is so sexy and hot and handsome! The title got me singing 'I'm a thief, I'm a thief' all around my house!

Book Review: Night Star, by Alyson Noël (#4)
Title: Night Star
Author: Alyson Noël
Series: The Immortals #5
Pages: 302
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Other Books By The Author: Evermore, Blue Moon, Shadowland, Dark Flame, Everlasting, Radiance, Shimmer, Dreamland, Whisper, Saving Zoë, Art Geeks and Prom Queens, Cruel Summer, Faking 19, Kiss and Blog, Laguna Cove, Fly Me To The Moon, Fated.
The Blurb: After fighting for centuries to be together, Ever and Damen’s future hinges on one final showdown that will leave readers gasping for breath. Don’t miss this explosive new installment of the #1 bestselling series that’s enchanted millions across the world!
Haven still blames Ever for the death of her boyfriend Roman, no matter how hard Ever’s tried to convince her it was an accident. Now she’s determined to take Ever down…and destroy Damen and Jude along the way. Her first step is to tear Ever and Damen apart—and she has just the ammunition to do it.
Hidden in one of Ever’s past lives is a terrible secret about Damen—a secret that illuminates new facts about her relationship with Jude, but that’s so dark and brutal it might be enough to drive her and Damen apart once and for all. As Ever faces her greatest fears about the guy she wants to spend eternity with, she’s thrust into a deadly clash with Haven that could destroy them all.
Now it’ll take everything she’s got—and bring out powers she never knew she had—to face down her most formidable enemy. But in order to win, she must first ask herself: is her own survival worth dooming Haven to an eternity of darkness in the Shadowland? And will learning the truth about Damen’s past hold the key to their future?
Review:
This book was so much better than Dark Flame, the previous one! For one thing, Ever wasn't sooo depressed, she was happy (most of the time) and although all the bad things that can happen to a person happened to her, she didn't give up. Good for you, Ever! The depressing outlook in the previous books made me depressed myself, but this one didn't. The plot was good, and the love triangle wasn't one of those stressing ones, I liked it.
Ever was happier here, more balanced. She has gone through alcohol addiction, elixir addiction, Roman addiction... And like Britney Spears, she has finally found herself. That doesn't mean that she isn't a little bit troubled about who to chose, Damen or Jude. I didn't like her attitude towards Sabine, but it's also true that it isn't entirely her fault. I loved her mental conversations with Damen during class.
Damen was so sweet! I'm in love with him, I totally am. He has never stopped loving Ever, he's adorable. I liked him more at the beginning of the series, when he was a vain, cool and supeficial bad boy. That's just me, I'm crazy. Anyway, as long as he isn't Karma crazy I'm fine. He keeps secrets from Ever... but he's perfect.
Haven is just hateful, can I punch her in her weak chakra and send her already to the Shadowland? Please? She's over-paranoical, elixir-addicted and a total failure as immortal, and all she wants to do in the entire book is kill Ever? Obsessed much? Miles was just as sweet as always, nice and supporting and a good friend. I always imagine him like Kurt from Glee, I don't know why. Will he go to NYADA to be an actor too? I can see him in Broadway! Jude was nice too, helping Ever out even though she doesn't love him like he does. Poor him, I hope he finds his soulmate someday.
Alyson Noël's characteristic writing style is easily recognizable, full of adjectives that make everything graphic and beautiful and flowing easily, letting us see what she sees and feel what Ever feels.
Cover: Typical 'The Immortals' cover: girl's face with some object that appears in the story. Here we have Ever with the elixir, I guess. I like it, although it's nothing outstanding.
To sum up, it's way better than the previous one, more dynamic and with more romance. Ever realisation of her undying love for Damen is so romatic!

For Darkness Shows The Stars
Title: For Darkness Shows The Stars
Author: Diana Peterfreund
Pages: 398
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Release Date: 12 June
The Blurb: Generations ago, a genetic experiment gone wrong—the Reduction—decimated humanity, giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.
Elliot North has always known her place in this world. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family’s estate over love. Since then the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress, and Elliot’s estate is foundering, forcing her to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth—an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliot wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she let him go.
But Elliot soon discovers her old friend carries a secret—one that could change their society . . . or bring it to its knees. And again, she’s faced with a choice: cling to what she’s been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she’s ever loved, even if she’s lost him forever.
Inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion, For Darkness Shows the Stars is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it.
My Opinion: I heard it's incredible. I hope I can read it. I absolutely love retellings, and Jane Austen's specially!
The Glimpse
Title: The Glimpse
Author: Claire Merle
Pages: 432
Publisher: Faber & Faber
Release Date: 7 June
The Blurb: Once you've seen into the future, can you change your destiny?
In a near future, society is segregated according to whether people are genetically disposed to mental illness. 17-year-old Ana has been living the privileged life of a Pure due to an error in her DNA test. When the authorities find out, she faces banishment from her safe Community, a fate only thwarted by the fact that she has already been promised to Pure-boy Jasper Taurell.
Jasper is from a rich and influential family and despite Ana’s condition, wants to be with her. The authorities grant Ana a tentative reprieve. If she is joined to Jasper before her 18th birthday, she may stay in the Community until her illness manifests. But if Jasper changes his mind, she will be cast out among the Crazies. As Ana’s joining ceremony and her birthday loom closer, she dares to hope she will be saved from the horror of the City and live a ‘normal’ life. But then Jasper disappears.
Led to believe Jasper has been taken by a strange sect the authorities will not intefere with, Ana sneaks out of her well-guarded Community to find him herself. Her search takes her through the underbelly of society and into the pits of the human soul. And as she delves deeper into the mystery of Jasper's abduction she uncovers some devastating truths that destroy everything she has grown up to believe, but she also learns to love as she has never loved before.
My Opinion: It has already come out, but I heard out there that it is sooo good! The world is a very complicated one, they say. The cover would suit a contemporary best, but it's gorgeous anyway.
Once
Title: Once
Author: Anna Carey
Series: Eve #2
Pages: 320
Publisher: Harper Collins
Release Date: 3 July
The Blurb: Sixteen years have passed since a deadly virus wiped out most of the Earth’s population. After learning of the terrifying part she and her classmates were fated to play in the rebuilding of New America, eighteen-year-old Eve fled to the wilds and Califia, a haven for women determined to live outside the oppressive rule of the king of New America. However, her freedom came at a price: she was forced to leave Caleb, the boy she loves, wounded and alone at the city gates. Eve quickly learns that Califia may not be as safe as it seems and soon finds herself in the City of Sand and the palace of the king. There she uncovers the real reason he was so intent on her capture, and the unbelievable role he intends her to fill. When she is finally reunited with Caleb, they will enact a plan as daring as it is dangerous. But will Eve once again risk everything—her freedom, her life—for love?
Brimming with danger and star-crossed romance, and featuring a vivid dystopian landscape, this electrifying follow-up to Eve, which bestselling author Lauren Kate called “a gripping, unforgettable adventure—and a fresh look at what it means to love” is sure to appeal to fans who crave the high-stakes adventure of The Hunger Games and the irresistible love story of Romeo and Juliet.
My Opinion: I haven't read the first one, but I want to. Look at the summary: The Hunger Games? Romeo and Juliet? Definitely for me!

Movie Review: Snow White and The Huntsman (#1)
Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth
I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. There were interesting twists in the plot, interpreteations of the fairytale that I wouldn't have thought of.
The setting was very twilighty. Everything was dark, except for the snow scenes, when it was white, obviously. All the trees and mountains were exactly like those in twilight, and the gothic atmosphere was almost the same. The dresses were beautiful, and the queen's hairdoes were so impossibly lovely! I didn't like how they were almost always covered with mud or dirty. I always say that during the Middle Ages everyone- except for the nobility- wore brown, and the stylist in this movie seems to agree with me.
Kristen was absolutely beautiful. Black hair really suits her, and the contrast it makes with her pale, flawless skin. I envy it! What shocked me about her appearace was her eyes. In Twilight she had brown lenses on, so we didn't get to see how her eyes were like in reality. Here, she wore none, and her green-blue eyes were simply amazing. She played her part beautifully, but to me she will always be the sad, depressed Bella (whom I love, don't get me wrong). When she bit the apple and was dying, I thought of the time when James bit her in Twilight. And when she was dead, laying down and wearing a white gown, I had the feeling that any moment she would open her eyes and they would be red, like in the end of Breaking Dawn Part 1. I loved the part when she gave this little pep-talk to all the men, telling them to fight with her. She sounded like she had eaten all of Shakespeare's works, all she used were long and ancient words with weird grammar. It was so good!
Chris Hemsworth, who played the Huntsman, was totally gorgeous.There were times when he looked at the horizon when he got the same expression of his brother, Liam Hemsworth, and I thought of Gale in The Hunger Games all the time. At the beginning I didn't like his character, because he was always drunk and trying to take Snow White to the queen, but later, I fell for him. (By the way, he has just had a child with his wife Elsa Pataky. The baby must be so beautiful, with such parents! Congrats, Chris!)
Charlize was the most evil villain of history (maybe Voldemort beats her, but still). On her youth periods, she was so beautiful! At her wedding, her long blonde hair was amazing. She might have to go to some anger management classes. The times when she got angry- there were a lot- she screamed and opened her eyes so much I feared they would pop out. The way she killed people by putting her hand close to their heart and squeezing was very cool, I loved it. She played the bad-person part incredibly well.
Piece of advice: if you watch it at the cinema don't buy the big drink, it's nearly two hours long.
