The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer
2.0
Gave the book 2 stars, because it was OK. Love the cover, by the way!
Poor Bree Tanner, her second life is very short actually...
A nice, short read, to get to know the "enemy-vampires" in Twilight a little bit better.
Did not read the other books (yet), but watched the movies, and remembered Bree Tanner and the scene she was in.
Liked the way the story showed the "good" and "bad" vampires in the coven she was living in. It was a quick, nice read. Also liked Diego and Fred as characters! But this book is not outstanding.
Won't be a great addition to the Twilight series, will be a quick nice read if you can't get enough of the story-line.

Linger by Maggie Stiefvater

Finishing this book, I'm really glad I read it. This book was a slow start, and slow in the middle, but at the end I raced through it.
I love the way everything is described, with so much detail; the feelings, the smells, the wood. It makes the story much more alive, but beware, this also makes it a slow read.
Really hated Graces parents in this book. They did not care for their daughter at all in the first book and now they take away a little piece of happiness. The way they treat her like a girl that's only in it for the sex, is really weird.
I like Cole as a new addition to this book. He is a really complex character, but I like the way you see him grow and get to understand him.
Slow read, but full with feelings and the ending is awesome!
Ready for #3.

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

This was a nice read. Maybe I'm a little too old for this book, since it is written for 11+.
Did like the way the story evolves and the new perspective on fearies. I know that there are two more books, and I will read them.
This is a fast paced book and there is enough going on! I really think the characters are a little too shallow for my taste, but like I said, it's written for 11+ so I can look past that.
Still enjoyed the path Laurel is walking towards the truth about herself and where she is from. So 3 stars for this book.

Eve & Adam by Katherine Applegate, Michael Grant

You know that sound when you give the wrong answer in a game show? That sound really fits this book...
The story just had me like "meeehh.." The characters were shallow, the whole story wasn't exciting enough. The ending was weak. The story isn't believable, the relationships between the characters are unreal and how they react to each other is just anoying.
This book had so much promise but there was a lack of depth, humour, romance, excitement, mystery and action for me... All ingredients that this book needed so bad!

The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye by Robert Kirkman

I never really read comic books, but I love The Walking Dead.
I'm a true fan of the series and this book was all I hoped for. I love to re-live the story from the beginning. Can't wait to read the next books, since I hear really good stories about them.

This Is Where It Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
3.0
This book left me with an heartache, but also with the knowledge that family will be and stay family, no matter what.
Loved the main characters a lot. They are so diverse and the way the story is told, from the different perspectives is nice.
I would love to have more flashbacks, the book could have been a bit longer for me, but I liked the way the relations shape during the book.
There where some doubts, that's why I gave the book 3 stars. For example; that Sylv is suprised that her brother comes to rescue her, was weird for me, because the flashbacks they both have are rich with beautiful memories.
I also didn't really understand why Tyler is shooting everyone. Because he was in fights with Tomás? Because his mother died? Because his sister was chasing her dreams? Because his sister is lesbian? .. Just WHY?!
What also grossed me out was the way Tomás is hitting on a girl while there is a shooting going on. That part could have been left out for me, it added nothing to the story.
All together this book was gripping. It pulled me in and made me read this book witin a day.
