TAG: The cups song from Pitch Perfect

So, K.C. Hilton made a tag. A tag wherein we do a small portoin of The Cups Song from Pitch Perfect.
And she tagged all the BookTubers out there watching.
So I did the tag.
Yes, I know my cups are wrong.... *sigh
And my voice isn't the best. It isn't even good! :P

"Juliet Immortal" by Stacy Jay

The most tragic love story in history . . .

Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.

"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
—Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

WARNING:

If you have NOT yet read the book, stop reading. I WILL be spoiling!

I have mixed feelings about this book, and for the characters as well.

Juliet. I found her selfish. She wanted to be with Ben, but Ben and Gemma are ment to be soul mates  so Juliet can't love Ben. She needs to put Gemma and Ben back together. It was her job to put them together, but while she was doing it, she had a love for Ben. 

BUT THEN THERE'S A TWIST WHOA.

Okay, let's get on with the spoilers:

Turns out, Juliet wasn't sent to Ariel's body to put Gemma and Ben in a serious relationship...

She was sent for Gemma and Mike.

Let's be honest, Ben and Gemma were not ment to be, and I was happy to know that they were not getting together..

Haha, turns out, Romeo didn't kill Juliet... 

JULIET KILLED HERSELF.

Juliet died, Romeo got sad and played dead. Juliet came back to life and cried with grief, knowing that Romeo died for her to join her in afterlife. Juliet got a knife and killed herself...

Okay, I don't wanna give out to much.

4/5 Stars! I docked out a star only because of Juliet.

I'm doing a book review on it soon. And soon is February.

"City Of Bones" by Cassandra Clare

'When 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 odd markings. 

This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons-and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. 

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 an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...'

I watched the movie trailer before I read the book. After watching the trailer, I went to the  bookstore and finally got the book!
This book took me forever to read. I was hard to get through for some reason.
This book was so good! I had no problems with it! 
The twists! Ohhh ya! I won't mention any of them.

Jace was so awesome! I loved that he was your typical badboy type. Yet sometimes vulnerable.
Clary. You the one.
SIMON. I found him sometimes annoying... I don't know why.

I loved the twist end! 

So... 
Yeah. I'm bad at doing reviews. My brain isn't working. 

"Beautiful Redemption" by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Is death the end . . . or only the beginning?

Ethan Wate always dreamed of leaving the stifling Southern town of Gatlin.

But he never dreamt that finding love with Lena Duchannes would drive him away. Lena is a Caster girl whose supernatural powers unveiled a secretive and cursed side of Gatlin, so powerful it forced him to make a terrible sacrifice.

Now Ethan must find a way to return to Lena - and Gatlin - as she vows to do whatever it takes to get him back. Even if it means trusting old enemies or risking their loved ones' lives.

Can Ethan and Lena rewrite their fate and their spellbinding love story in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series?

So...
I just finished Beautiful Redemption...
GET ME A BUCKET FOR MY TEARS. NOW.

This was a very depressing book though. In a good way.
Only because:
1.) Lena and Ethan were apart for like 90 percent of the book.
2.) This was the final book in an amazing amazing series.
3.) A kind-hearted, God-fearing, pie-making character in the book, died. (I think we all know who that is.)
  Kami Garcia & Margaret Sthol delivered the emotions, the characters, the developments, very, very well. *Tops hat*

It's hard, guys. It's hard to let go to one of your most loved and treasured series.

I liked how the authors wrote this one. It was first told in Lena's point of view; for about 3 pages only.And then we go to book one. Ethan's POV.
AND THEN BOOK 2. LENA'S POV :DD
And then we go to the final book. Ethan's POV. 

This is just going to be a discussion. Discussion about the characters.
First of all, I LOVED Ethan in this book! Because he was so Bad-ass. (sorry for my language.) He didn't let anyone get in his way. He did what felt right and what he wanted to do!  *Spoiler Alert* Even if his mom told him not to go back to Gaitlin because it was too dangerous, Ethan still went. 
Let's talk about Lena. She was so awesome in this book! She tried so hard to get the book to Ethan, and her hard work paid off! 
Now, Sarafine. Weird for me to say this but, I cried. I teared up a little when... Nah. I won't say it. It's pretty unexpected so I'll just leave it until you guys find out what she dose. Again. I found out that, Sarafine DOSE have a heart! :)
Now let's go to Lila. Ethan's mom. I loved that she was trying hard to protect her son. I loved her so much! 
That's all I can really say now. Well, that pretty sucked. My discussion, I mean.

Ugh I'm still really depressed that It's over. To be honest with you, I cried for like 30 minutes after I finished the book. 

Because I realized that I just said goodbye to Ethan Wate. I said goodbye to Lena Duchannes. I said goodbye to Uncle Macon, Amma, and all the other amazing characters in the series. And to the new characters introduced in this book, like Xavier.

I just want to thank Kami Garcia and Margaret Sthol for creating such an amazing and can't-put-down series. Thank you for making the finale something I'll think about over and over again. Thank you for writing a well done finale.

Of course, what else would I be rating this?
5/5 STARS! An Amazing and well-written conclusion leaving fans staying up all night reading the books. And I will definitely be re-reading the series sometime soon! :)

Hope you enjoyed this review! :) (Which I know you guys didn't. I'm terrible at doing reviews.)

"WHAT'S LEFT OF ME" By Kat Zhang

'I should not exist. But I do.

Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t . . .

For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet . . . for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.'

The idea and plot of this book was so unique! It immediately dragged me! I bought it in the first week it was released and I wanted to read it after I bought it but other books got in the way... AND NOW I FINALLY READ IT.  AND I LOVED IT.

The world Zhang created was beyond amazing! 

Every body has two souls inside of them. Taking turns controlling one another, until one soul settles. What Settling is is that one soul remains dominant and the other soul becomes recessive and fades away and never comes back... Eva was the recessive soul. But she never really did fade away.

The book started off as a bit boring... but as we get to the part where Addie/Eva get to Nornand, things start to pick up and get fast-paced-ish!

I liked how Eva was developing throughout the book. She couldn't even move her fingers at first and really struggled when she did. But as we go more into the book, Eva started talking, moving, and other things Addie was in control of!

There was a tad bit of romance in the book, which was good. There was only one kissing scene... -_-

"It's a really unique, interesting premise and the way it's told is certainly different. The reader gets to experience the story from the point of view of Eva—watching and waiting, never quite in control of what's happening to the body she lives in. The writing is clear and easy to read; Zhang draws the reader in quickly with her engaging style." -Sparknotes

I liked the author's writing style! 

If you're looking for a good, light, thought-provoking read, then you should definitely pick this book up if you haven't!
5 out of 5 stars! :)

I told Kat Zhang how much I enjoyed the book and asked when the second will be released, through YouTube. She replied:

"The second book will come out Fall of 2013 :) Glad you're enjoying the book!"

I'll be doing a book review of this soon in my Youtube channel! :D
