Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

7719245Genre:Paranormal Mix
Hardcover: 335 Pages
Published:August 31, 2010 
Series: Paranormalcy
            1. Paranormalcy
            2. Supernaturally
            3. Endlessly
Rating:★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.

But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

So much for normal.

My Review:

            I probably would have given this book a higher rating if it weren't for all the good things that I heard about this book. Seriously!? Some of the reviews that I read and heard claimed that this book was good. However, after reading through half of this book I was rolling my eyes, sighing, and on the verge of throwing my book across my room.
            What was wrong with this book? Well for starters, the cover is such a tease. I picked the book up because of the cover. I mean look at it. It's freaking gorgeous. Then I read the back and was like hmm... this sounds interesting. When I finally read the book I was frustrated with the characters and the lack of originality. I don't know why I keep going back to this type of genre in young adult when I know it will only disappoint. I guess I still have a little hope that amongst the typical 'normal girl in distress with supernatural powers needs a man to save her ass' kind of book there will be one that over shines all of them. Sadly, I haven't found one yet and if you happen to do so please holler at me and let me know. Thanks!
            So basically Evie is a teen with supernatural powers who works for the IPCA and finds out that she has a part in all the craziness that is taking place in her home town. And what do you know, she is the center of a prophecy that will cause the destruction to all paranormal creatures. Sign. *insert eye roll*

Goodreads Synopsis:

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 faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound 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.


To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?

In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Down-world, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.



My Review:

My initial thoughts about this book: I don't even like this book. So why do I kind of like it!?

Everyone seems to be in love with this series and I will admit the first book in this series was pretty good. After the unexpected ending of City of Bones, my interest levels had increased. I wanted to know more about Clary and Jace, their relationship and the back ground on the lore. Although I enjoyed reading this book, I did have some issues with the characters, the plot, and the background story.

While the writing has shown some improvement from the previous book, it wasn't engaging enough. I felt like a third person looking into the Mortal Instruments, where sometimes I would miss many small details that would turn out to be big deals. It is a big book and sometimes I found it to drag in some places.  


Not to mention the incest. I mean can you say EWWWWW!!? Jace and Clary like each other a lot. They spend time together even though they suspect that they are brother and sister. Like OMG!! That was just a HUGEEEE mood killer in this installment!! I guess that's why I rated this book with only three stars, and I honestly didn't see that twist coming.  Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling the hype with the second installment. However, I will be continuing this series just to see where the story goes. Hopefully, the ending isn't disappointing like The Infernal Devices.

            5. City of Lost Souls
            6. City of Heavenly Fire
Rating:★★★★
 Goodreads Synopsis:

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?


This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know... 

Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.


My Review:

            I have heard many good and bad things about this book/series. Either you liked it or you didn't. After reading this book I have to say I was definitely interested in this story. This idea of Nephilim, Shadow-hunters and demons was exciting and new. Plus the addition of werewolves, vampires, and warlocks made this an even more fascinating book to read.

            Clare is a 15 year old girl who is out at a club with her best friend, Simon. They are having a good time until Clare witnesses three scary looking teens murder someone. She screams at the top of her lungs and finds out she's the only one who can see them. Hysterical, she follows the teens out the club only to see the empty street.

            A few days later when her mother disappears and Clare is attacked by demons, she finally comes face to face with the three teens from the club. Jace is a Shadowhunter who saves Clare and brings her back to their headquarters. But what do the demons want from Clare? She is only a mundane who suddenly has the Sight and is on the most wanted list for the demons. Can Jace and the rest of the Shadow-hunters figure out what's going on before Clare is attacked again or will they fail and let Clare get captured?

            There were many twists and turns in this book that I didn't expect at all. I was surprised to see some of the events unfold in a different way than I originally thought. I liked the idea of Nephilim who were demon hunters and my favorite part was the ruins they drew on their arms. The concept of the ruins was very fascinating and I wish the author had elaborated more on that. Hopefully, the second book will have more explanations and I can't wait to continue their story. 

Movie Review:

Honestly, the movie kind of sucked. I was super excited when I found out that there was going to be a movie about this book! I couldn't wait to see who they picked for the cast and I was hoping the characters would match the descriptions.

Jace:

No. Just no. In the book Jace is supposed to be a drop dead gorgeous hunk of meat who could make ANY girl fall for him. This ^ is not a drop dead gorgeous hunk of meat. This ^ is okay. I was so disappointed when I saw James Bower playing the role of Jace because I wanted it to be Alex Pettyfer. 

(Ohhh! You gorgeous man! *fans herself*)

And isn't Isabelle supposed to be more prettier than Clare???? Clearly, not in the movie!

Clockwork Princess #3 by Cassandra Clare

Published: September 5, 2013
Series: The Infernal Devices
            1. Clockwork Angel
            2. Clockwork Prince
            3. Clockwork Princess
Rating:★★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis: 

Tessa Gray should be happy—aren't all brides happy? Yet as she prepares for her wedding, a net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. A new demon appears, one linked by blood and secrecy to Mortmain, the man who plans to use his army of pitiless automatons, the Infernal Devices, to destroy the Shadowhunters. Mortmain needs only one last item to complete his plan. He needs Tessa. And Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her.

My Review:

Jem and Tessa are getting married. Jem and Tessa are getting married. Jem and Tessa are getting married. *hyperventilates* Doesn't matter how many times I say this there are two things that will never chance. 1. I can't register the fact that they are getting married. 2. They will get married regardless of my yelling. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Nooo! Why Clare!? Why do you make me go through this!?

 












Clearly I am not happy about this. I like Jem, but I don't want Tessa to marry him. She loves Will and Will loves her. But Will is stupid and he let Tessa go. So screw YOU Will you deserve to watch the girl you love marry someone else. Even though she doesn't love him. Ahhhhhh! So much craziness I love it! 

While planning for her wedding Tessa gets kidnapped by Mortmain who wants her powers to take over the world. Her powers will give him the ultimate power to defeat the Nephilim and rule. However, Jem is getting sicker by the day and isn't able to come to her rescue. When Will shows up looking for Tessa all of their feelings come flooding out. They truly love each other, but it's too late now. Will screwed up and Tessa won't stop the marriage. Tessa is able to find her brother as well who happens to be in cahoots with Mortmain. While being kidnapped, she was taken somewhere far away and had no way to come home. Living with her crazy psycho evil brother was hard enough, but when he wanted her to forgive him for his wrong doings and live like a family, Tessa blew up at him. How could she forgive her own flesh and blood for kidnapping her, hurting her, and lying to her only for more power? Not to mention he killed so many innocent people while Tessa was trying to save them. 

This series has been an emotional roller coaster ride. I enjoyed every minute of it and it's sad to see it come to an end. But the end was mind blowing and I am completely satisfied. Sure there were things along the way that I hated, but the entire concept was pretty cool. I was surprised at the end, but the epilogue was the most heart wrenching.  

After Tessa and Will defeated Mortmain life for the three went on a they had planned. At the end when Tessa is speaking of the life she had lived with Will right until his last breath was very heart wrenching for me. I loved how Will's love for Tessa and his personality never changed. When Will looked at Tessa and Jem for the last time, smiled and died, I was a sobbing ball of a mess. I have never cried at the end of any book. EVER. So when I realized that I was crying at the end of this one I was shocked and speechless. Just an amazing end to a wonderful series.

Clockwork Prince #2 by Cassandra Clare

10025305Genre: Angels, Werewolves, Nephilim
Hardcover: 502 Pages
Published: December 6, 2011
Series: The Infernal Devices
            1. Clockwork Angel
            2. Clockwork Prince
            3. Clockwork Princess
Rating:★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

In magical Victorian London, orphan Tessa found safety with the Shadowhunters, until traitors betray her to the Magister. He wants to marry her, but so do self-destructive Will and fiercely devoted Jem. Mage Magnus Bane returns to help them. Secrets to her parentage lie with the mist-shrouded Yorkshire Institute's aged manager Alyosius Starkweather.


My Review:

As much as I loved the first book in this series I wasn't feeling it in the sequel. It was a good book with lots of action and drama, but I just couldn't really see the point in the second book.

Do they find Mortmain? No.

Do they find out where he might be hiding? No.
Do they find out what Mortmain wants Tessa for? No.
Do they find out what Tessa is or how she has such strong powers? No.
Do they find Tessa's brother? No. (The whole point of the first book was that Tessa was looking for her brother... soo where he at?)

Do Tessa and Jem have something going on? Yes.

Do Tessa and Will have something going on? Yes.
Do I hate love triangles? Yes, with a passion.

Do you get my point? Hopefully.


            So after moving in at the Institute with the Jem, Will and the others, it has taken some time for Tessa to fit in, but she finally has. She has agreed to use her powers to help the Shadow hunters fight Mortmain and save the world only if they help her find her brother. Turns out things aren't always as they seem. There are traitors in the mist and they will do anything to kill Tessa and get her out of the way. They still don't know how or why Tessa is so powerful, but they know for sure that she can defeat Mortmain.  


            To defeat Mortmain, Tessa must learn to fight like a Shadow hunter. Day and night she trains with Will and Jem. Spending so much time with these two hot guys you would think Tessa would fall for one of them, but she falls for both guys. At heart Tessa will always love Will, but he doesn't want to be with Tessa and pushes her away at every opportunity. And by the end of the book I was so furious that my copy of this book was thrown across my room. I refused to read the ending because I was speechless. Yes the ending was jaw dropping and no I didn't like it at all! I'm surprised at Tessa's choice and hopefully the third book gives us more answers than questions.

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

7171637Genre: Angels, Nephilim 
Hardcover: 479 Pages
Published: August 31, 2010
Series: The Infernal Devices
            1. Clockwork Angel
            2. Clockwork Prince
            3. Clockwork Princess
Rating:★★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

In a time when Shadow hunters are barely winning the fight against the forces of darkness, one battle will change the course of history forever. Welcome to the Infernal Devices trilogy, a stunning and dangerous prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.


The year is 1878. Tessa Gray descends into London’s dark supernatural underworld in search of her missing brother. She soon discovers that her only allies are the demon-slaying Shadow hunters—including Will and Jem, the mysterious boys she is attracted to. Soon they find themselves up against the Pandemonium Club, a secret organization of vampires, demons, warlocks, and humans. Equipped with a magical army of unstoppable clockwork creatures, the Club is out to rule the British Empire, and only Tessa and her allies can stop them....


My Review:

Cover/Summary:
            The cover and summary is what caught my attention and made me want to read this series. I am a huge fan of Clare and her Mortal Instruments series was amazing. So when I found out about Clockwork Angel I knew I had to read it. Clare has a way of creating unique lovable characters that capture your attention and make you love them. The interesting world Clare created about Shadowhunters and Downworlders truly fascinated me. I loved this idea of hunters and the writing style was captivating.

Plot:
            The plot takes place in London and the details of the scenes were captured beautifully. Tessa, an American girl who has come from New York to London in search of her brother, Nathaniel. After arriving she discovers he is nowhere to be found. Then suddenly she is captured by the Dark sisters who want something from her. She learns fairly quickly that there is a whole new world she didn't know about. She learns about Downworlders, Nephilim, and Showhunters and is thrown into their world without having any say in the matter. But in order to find her brother she must learn to live in this new world, learn to fight, and accept her new reality because if she doesn't she may never find her brother. As always there is something bigger and scarier happening behind everything that is going on and Tessa is somehow in the middle of it all. Tessa will learn to survive and sometimes finding answers is a risky task even if it means the answers leading to a dangerous path.

Characters:
             Tessa was an okay character. I have noticed that in the beginning of any series I don't like the main female characters because they are so stupid and immature. Tessa wasn't always stupid, but she did make poor choices. At first I thought her character was going to be a whiny little girl, but towards the middle of the book she became stronger and I started to like her spunk. As for the other characters I have to say that they were amazing. Will and Jem were my favorite. Although I HATE love triangles (and I didn't like that in this book) I was surprised to find myself liking both guys and which ever one Tessa ends up with I will be happy. Will is kind of  distant and mysterious, while Jem is more friendlier and encouraging. I liked how Jem and Will were best friends regardless of their differences and had each others backs no matter what. Their friendship reminded me of my friendship with my best friend and that's why I enjoyed this book even more.

Overall:
            An interestingly cool topic about Shadowhunters. I liked how the author incorporated angel facts and history into this book. The politics and culture of the Shadowhunters was captivating and descriptive. Yes this book was freaking long as heck, but the ending was worth the wait. My jaw had hit the floor and I was yelling, screaming, and squealing with delight. I truly enjoyed reading this book.

(The) Reckoning #3 by Kelly Armstrong

Genre: Witches, Werewolves, Wizards, Necromancer
Paperback: 391 Pages
Published: April 6, 2010
Series: Darkest Powers
            1. The Summoning
            2. The Awakening
            3. The Reckoning
Rating:★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

Chloe Saunders is fifteen and would love to be normal. Unfortunately, Chloe happens to be a genetically engineered necromancer who can raise the dead without even trying. She and her equally gifted (or should that be 'cursed'?) friends are now running for their lives from the evil corporation that created them.


As if that's not enough, Chloe is struggling with her feelings for Simon, a sweet-tempered sorcerer, and his brother Derek, a not so sweet-tempered werewolf. And she has a horrible feeling she's leaning towards the werewolf...

Definitely not normal.



My Review:

Chloe and the gang have finally tracked down Derek and Simons father. They want him to help them defeat the Company and save the other supernatural they are holding prisoner. As the days go by with planning an attack, Chloe is getting stronger with her powers. The others are also learning how to control their abilities. Chloe and Derek are getting closer and their relationship is getting stronger. However, Chloe still has some feelings for Simon, but she can't decide who to chose. Although she's leaning towards Derek....AHHHHH I hope Chloe picks him!!!!



The plot is getting suspenseful and the characters are learning secrets about their life and why they were chosen by the Company. As new secrets are revealed so are the  people behind all this craziness. I found it amazing that Armstrong was able to create these characters with mature actions. Derek was never afraid to lay it out for Chloe. When he knew she was wrong or made a mistake, he didn't beat around the bush. He told her straight up she was wrong. And I loved that Chloe admitted to her mistakes. I know for a fact that it is hard to admit when you're wrong, but Armstrong created these characters with so much realistic qualities that they make the story believable. One thing I had a problem with was the ending. At the end I was just like 'seriously, that's it?' I was hoping for more of the unanswered questions to finally be answered. But this story doesn't end in this series There is a similar series by Armstrong called The Calling which takes place after Chloe and her gang. Overall, a good read, entertaining, and fast paced.

Rating:★★★★


Goodreads Synopsis:

Kylie Galen's life hasn't been the same since her world was turned upside-down in Born at Midnight, Shadow Falls #1, and now an epic conclusion to her journey—not to mention a tough choice between two guys!—is brewing in Chosen at Nightfall:

When Kylie Galen left Shadow Falls, she thought it was the hardest decision of her life. Heartbroken and separated from everyone she loves, she has to embrace her abilities and what it means to be a chameleon. But as Kylie's journey comes to a close, she must return to the camp that started it all...and she must finally chose between the two boys who love her. The werewolf who broke her heart when he chose his pack over her, and the half-fae who ran from their intense attraction before they ever really had a chance. For Kylie, everything will finally be revealed and nothing will ever be the same.

My Review:

Kylie - Who are you?? 
This has been the biggest question throughout this series. Kylie has been trying to figure out where she belongs in this paranormal world. She is far from being normal and finally finding out who she is has put her at ease. But there were many questions that were left unanswered. However, this final book answers them all.

  After some unexpected events in Whispers at Moonrise, Kylie decides to live with her grandfather and learn more about herself. She thought she would be learning new tricks, her abilities, and learning how to disappear. But with every good thing there is always a price to pay. Learning that she is a Chameleon was shocking. She is able to switch her supernatural pattern to blend in with the other supernaturals. Chameleons do this disappearing act to protect themselves from the enemy. In the supernartual world, Being a Chameleon is frowned upon. It means you are deceiving everyone and many people don't like this. After trying hard to find her place, Kylie now fights for a better supernatural world where everyone can live together in peace.  

  Kylie is very determined to change the ways of her society and with the help of her friends she is able to achieve what she desires. But it all comes with a price. Kylie will have to make difficult decisions even it that means upsetting many supernaturals. One important decision she will make is in her relationship. Will she choose the safe, loving, caring, half-fae, Derek? Or will she chose the more dangerous option and also her childhood love, Lucas? Chosen at Nightfall takes you into an imaginative world with well written characters, a fast paced plot, lovable characters, and a mystery that will have you on the edge of your seat!

Series: Darkest Powers
            1. The Summoning

            3. The Reckoning
Rating:★★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

Chloe Saunders is on the run

and raising hell. Literally. 

Chloe Saunders is not your average supernatural teenager. Genetically altered at birth by a sinister team of scientists, she can barely control her terrifying powers. Now the team that created her has decided it's time to end the experiment. Permanently.

Now Chloe is running for her life along with a charming sorcerer, a troubled werewolf and a temperamental young witch. Together they have a chance for freedom - but can Chloe trust her new friends?


My Review:

I can't believe this, but I'M IN LOVE WITH A TEENAGE WOLF!!!!!!!

The second installment in this series is just as engaging as the first. More creepy action, suspenseful drama, and more DEREK! I want to yell at Chloe and make her realize he is amazing and he wants her! Although I will say this, there are a lot of Derek and Chloe scenes so that makes me really happy!



For those of you who haven't read this series yet, I suggest you stop, drop and roll into a book store right now and buy this book! Chloe has finally figured out that she is a necromancer. At first she believed she was a Schizo, but it was discovered at the House that her powers were to be harnessed and used for evil. Now on the run, Chloe and the gang are trying to keep themselves safe while figuring out who to trust. We have the sarcastic rich girl, Tori, a very sweet gentleman Simon, the authority figure and leader, Derek, and finally the sweet naive Chloe. 


For this gang, on the run means they can't trust no one except themselves. Their parents sold them out, they have no friends, and the people they think they can trust don't have the best intentions. Everyday goes by in fear of their lives and learning shocking secrets about their abilities. Armstrong created an interesting world filled with lies, deception, betrayals, secrets and emotional trauma. This is an epic series to read if you're looking for something creepy, yet entertaining.

 Rating:★★★★

Goodreads Synopsis:

A breathtaking new installment of the bestselling Shadow Falls series for young adults by rising star C. C. Hunter!At a camp filled with vampires, werewolves, and fairies, Kylie Galen has always struggled to figure out what she is. Now she finally knows the truth, but she's left with more questions than answers. She doesn't have a clue what her heritage means or how to harness her newfound powers. All she knows is that she needs to sort out her feelings for Derek, the sexy half-Fae who just confessed his love, and Lucas, her werewolf boyfriend who seems more committed to his pack than to their relationship. All the while, Kylie's dealing with a group of underground rogues who want her dead and a mysterious grandfather who makes it clear he doesn't trust the FRU . . . or Shadow Falls. Soon Kylie will have to choose: Will she stay with the new family she's formed at Shadow Falls, or will she leave with her grandfather and embrace her destiny?

My Review:
      Kylie finally knows what she is!! After all this mystery and going through hell to find out what her identity is Kylie is relieved. But she still have many questions that are unanswered. Her grandfather has finally showed up to help Kylie and wants her to move in with him. This is where the hard part comes. Kylie must decide if she wants to stay at Shadow Falls and be with her friends or go with her grandfather who is willing to teach her about her ancestors/abilities. This is a very hard decision for Kylie, not to mention Derek just confessed his love for her, Lucas has been acting like a jerk, and Kylie's seeing the ghost of someone close to her that's still alive! Can things get any worse!? How can she possibly handle everything, and keep her sanity? What sacrifices will Kylie have to make in order to find out about herself and where she ultimately belongs?

Some of the characters pissed me off a lot in this book. Lets start with Lucas. He is arrogant, a jerk, and most importantly he ignores Kylie. Since Lucas's pack forbids him to go out with Kylie, he has been keeping his distance. This distance has caused a riff in their relationship making Kylie feel unloved and abandoned. Even though, Lucas is in love with Kylie, he must abide by the rules of the Pack in order to become the Alpha. Derek on the other hand, is a sick love puppy, who won't back down from Kylie. Derek wants Kylie and he is always there to support her. But Kylie is in love with Lucas and there in lies the problem. A predictable love triangle with Kylie in the center of it all. Kylie is also an annoying character in this book. She takes her time to deal with Derek's confession and is stringing him along. Just let him go already!? Holiday and Burnett are my favorite of them all!!!!!! They are so cute together. You can tell Burnett loves Holiday a lot even though he is a tough, bad-ass Vampire. I can't wait for Perry and Miranda to get together! And Della is just a hoot!

Overall, lots of mystery, action, suspense, and a fast pace. I really liked how Hunter incorporated different supernatural characters and gave the story line an intriguing factor. And I love the supernatural being that Kylie finds out she is. Its super cool and something totally different!
