Review:


This is the second book in The Wolves of Mercy Falls series. First off I would like to say that the text in this book are all green, I didn't really pay attention to it in the first book but looking back it was all blue colored text, and I really like it, I haven't read a book like that and I wish more did. Anyways, I really liked this series! The plot is witty and gripping. I liked how there was different points-a-view that weren't confusing, I like knowing other peoples opinions on different situations. The only down side is that it's a pretty short book but with a major cliffhanger! AHH I cannot wait til I get the last book in this series to see how it ends!!!! Love this book series:)

Review of One Moment, One Morning

Title: One Moment, One Moring

Rating: 2/5


Summary From Goodreads:


The Brighton to London line. The 07:44 train. Carriages packed with commuters.

A woman applies her make-up. Another occupies her time observing the people around her. A husband and wife share an affectionate gesture. Further along, a woman flicks through a glossy magazine.

Then, abruptly, everything changes: a man has a heart attack, and can't be resuscitated; the train is stopped, an ambulance called.

For at least three passengers on the 07:44 on that particular morning, life will never be the same again.

Lou witnesses the man's final moments. Anna and Lou share a cab when they realise the train is going nowhere fast. Anna is Karen's best friend.

And Karen? Karen's husband is the man who dies.

Telling the story of the week following that fateful train journey, One Moment, One Morning is a stunning novel about love and loss, about family and – above all – friendship. A stark reminder that, sometimes, one moment is all it takes, it also reminds us that somehow, and despite everything, life can and does go on.

Review:

I really wanted to like this book, when I saw this book listed in the giveaways it sounded like a really good book. The cover looks amazing, I just wish the book itself was too. I honestly could not finish this book. I kept reading and reading, it was just so boring don't get me wrong the writing itself was good but it wasn't getting to the point. One day I might finish the whole book but for now on to the next book.

This book was won in a Goodreads giveaway.

Rating: 4.5/5


Summary From Goodreads:


the cold.
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why.

the heat.
Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now.

the shiver.
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human—and Grace must fight to keep him—even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.

Review:


This is another book  heard so much of that I thought I should give it a try. I am glad I did because it is a really good book, it kind of reminds me of Twilight but more on the wolf side. ha ha. The way the author describes the setting and how the wolfs change from human to wolf is so descriptive that you feel like you are there watching it happen. The characters are charming and I instantly liked Grace and her love of books too. Overall, this book is a great and easy read and I totally recommend it!
