Book Review: I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls, #1)I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I love these books. They are full of fun, fast-paced energy, rockin' characters, girl power, action, mystery.... they are so fun.

This is the first  book in the series (there will be six, currently there are five) and it does a great job sucking you in and making you want to keep reading until the end.

Cammie Morgan is a spy-in-training at a super secret spy academy (of which her mom is Headmistress)... but she's also a teenage girl. She is great at blending in and being a chameleon. She's great at  being a spy but even better when she works together with her super awesome spy friends.

This is a cute series for preteens in particular, though I think it would be fun for any age. It's clean and intriguing. The action would speak to boys as well even though these seem to be "girl" books.


Not a waste of time (and since I own it... Not a waste of money!).

Book Review: Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

I found this version to be WAY better than the original Twilight (but I'm not a hater, I did like Twilight) because, frankly, Bella bugged me a little in the series and this way we don't get her over-analyzing of everything, but we still get the story that enthralled and grabbed us all and got us all waiting at midnight of the release date to buy the books and then devour within days.
I hope she finishes it and I take heart in the fact that she said it is on hold indefinitely, rather than never going to be done, ever...  there's that at least.  I understand her frustration and hurt, but I also hope she realizes a few thoughtless people shouldn't be able to ruin it for the rest.  But I do understand, I do!

Book Review: "Promised" by Caragh O'Brien

Promised (Birthmarked, #3)Promised by Caragh M. O'Brien
My rating: 4 and a half of 5 stars

Great ending to this series!!! This book was wonderful. The pacing was great... I mean, once I picked the book back up I had a really hard time setting it back down. LOVED this series. Glad I own all of the books as I will be reading them again. They were all quite clean, too. I don't remember any language (there may have been, but I don't remember it) and there was only one brief innuendo that made me blush a little in the second book.

This book picks up with all the people of Sylum that chose to head for the Enclave packing to get ready to leave and try to set up New Sylum. Leon, Peter, Will, and Gaia along with quite a few others are making the journey. There was just enough time spent on the journey without wasting a huge portion of the book on their trek. Of course, once they get to the Enclave they find things are worse than ever and that their prediction of how the Protectorat would treat them was accurate.

There were some sweet moments between Gaia and Leon and not very much time spent (wasted) on the love square with Will and Peter. This is one love story that was done well: not cheesy, not domineering, but just lovely.

A bittersweet ending... a lot of sadness at the end, but it was mixed with some really good things. There was a minute there when I thought things might end even sadder than they did and I almost teared up until I saw things were going to work out. I always appreciate a book that is written well enough to make you laugh out loud, smile like a goof to oneself, or cry.

What I didn't like: You didn't see much of Maya. The whole second book is centered around getting her back and then you only see her briefly throughout until the end. Her part in the ending is sweet, though.
Always sad to see likable characters die.

Definitely worth a read!! This series is great for boys and girls. It's tough, and real, and full of people fighting for what they believe is right. NOT a waste of time.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to follow me ;).
