City of Ashes

City of Ashes (second of the mortal instrument series)

Cassandra Clare

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and fairies? Clary would love to spend more time with her best friend, Simon. But the Shadowhunters won't let her go=especially her handsome, infuriating brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil-and also her father. When the second of the Mortal Instruments is stolen, the terrifying Inquistor suspects Jace. COuld Jace really be willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?

I love this book. I look this series. This, like The Hunger Game series, is also a trilogy, but also has great characters. So great it's so hard to choose your favorite one. I did tho, just barely. Simon. I love his funny attitude and him being the nerdy one of the group just secures his spot, at least for now.

Cassandra Clare does a great job keeping the suspense up, and keeping her audience interested. I read in in one sitting, and immediately bought the third one the same day. I forced all my friends to read it, and now they are Mortal Instrument Fans. Now i am doing the same. Read this book. If you done with magical creature stories, just read this series to leave that theme with a bang. If your not over them, then you should read this story anyways too. It's worth it. Trust me.

Catching Fire (The Real Review)

Catching Fire

Suzanne Collins

Sparks are Igniting.

Flames are Spreading.

And the Capitol wants Revenge.

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. ANd there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol-a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws hear for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before... and surprising readers at every turn.

Just the cover of this amazing book already tells that it's going to be exhilarating. All of the characters are so dynamic and perfect in their own inperfect ways. I want to go on a rampage just thinking about Catching Fire, but i am restraining myself so i won't ruin the book when you read it(when not if. This is a must MUST read.) Suzanne Collins did a great job keeping the storyline very interesting and kept it fast paced. Now i must say that i think that the first book, THe Hunger Games, is slightly more of a favorite for me, but Catching Fire is a very very close second.

Read this book. Of course after you read the Hunger Games. Now. I am not kidding.

This such a annoying book. In a way that it's so perfect. It makes me want to SCREAM. SCREAM SCREAM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I think it is superly infuriating how they make every character so perfect, not like in perfect, but so dynamic and great in their own way that you love each and every one of them so much it hurts. I want to erase my memory so i can read it over again with a newness and suspense as i did the first time. I will write another more indepth review of this fantastic book, but for now i am just telling you to go read it immediately! If you haven't read the Hunger Games, go and read that one now and then read Catching Fire asap! And if anyone needs to vent or relay over the book with me again, just leave a comment, or better yet send me a email. It's happyfaces2(at)rocketmail(dot)com.

Another thing. Peeta or Gale and why?
