She's SO dead to us By Kieran Scott Review

Helloo Blogesphere,

Today I will be reviewing, "She's So Dead to us" by Kieran Scott.

Summary: Ally Ryan was a crestie, she lived in a mansion had an amazing life and lived in the same place since she was born. She grew up with her friends Hammond, Chloe, Faith, The idiot twins, and Shannen they were best friends, no, they were family. They spent every summer at LBI and lived on the same street. They shared everything, did everything together, and not a week passes that they didn't talk to each other or see each other. They went on vacations together and had traditional Sunday dinners. But one day Ally's dad made a bad investment with his and all her friends money. They all lost millions of dollars. Ally's parents picked up their things and moved away within one night. Leaving behind everything and Ally didn't even say goodbye to her friends. Her dad took off not telling Ally and her mom where he was going and they spent 1 year trying to keep it together. Everything seemed alright until Ali's mom decided to move back to Orchard Hills. Ally was iffy about the idea, her mom loved the idea. But her old friends. HATED the idea. Jake moved into Ally's old house and a little love is in the air. But Ally's old friends would rather die before Ally and Jake became of 'thing'.

My Opinion:  Now other than the cheesy/petty title, the book is actually REALLY good. Of course I'm a sucker for the whole "Secret love" stuff but its still a really good book. The main character Ally is actually a really awesome character. I'm a girl,and I think she's hot. I actually find her really relate able, but i don't know how. Some how Kieran made a girl in a impossible situation with a hard shell really likable. And Jake, Oh My gosh Jake, I love him so much. The book is written in two different perspectives, Jake's and Ally's, and it's really entertaining because the denial that's happening get totally erased when the other thinks about it. For example if Ally is thinking "oh Jake hates me" When its Jake's perspective he'll say he's got it bad for her. It gives the book more depth because Ally perceives Jake as a typical rich dude but when you hear Jake think you get the exact opposite opinion. They both have a tough and cocky exterior but inside have depth and worry's and it makes you just love them. If there's one thing I hate its cliff hangers and this one has a MAJOR one, so the next book is called, "He's So not worth it" I'm currently reading that one and my Kindle says I'm 26% in so when I'm done I'll review that one as well. The book is an amazing read and I totally recommend it, there's still drama and pettiness but the book also has depth. 4 out of 5 stars FOR SURE.

THATS IT

Killer By Sara Shepard #6 From the PLL series

Hello Blogesphere,

Disclaimer: Spoilers. If u r reading or planning on reading these books...I've warned u ;)

I know I haven't blogged in forever but school got REALLY busy so..but I'm going to try to get out a whole bunch of reviews done... So lets start with Killer by Sara Shepard.  Here's what it says on the Back:

"ROSEWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA,SEEMS PICTURE PERFECT. BUT PICTURE'S OFTEN LIE- AND SO DO ROSEWOODS FOUR PRETTIEST GIRLS.
Hanna's on a mission to corrupt Rosewoods youth- starting with a very attractive sophomore. Aria's snooping into her boyfriends past. Spencer's stealing... from her family. And pure little Emily's abstaining from abstinence.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. These pretty little liars should be careful. Sure, The old A is dead. But there's a new A in town turning up the heat. And this time Rosewoods gonna burn.
                                               ~A"

So the back certainly does the book justice Especially the turning up the heat and Rosewood's gonna burn part. The book starts off the way all the books start (As i have mentioned and explained before) a flash back to when Ali was alive and a story that the entire book revolves around. This story is when Aria, Spencer,Hanna, Emily, and Ali are in grade 6 and are not yet friends, grade 6 is the first grade you are allowed to participate in the 'Time Capsule flag' game. Where clues are posted and the school flag is cut up into different pieces and are hidden. The goal is to find the different pieces, people who find a piece of the flag has their name put on a plaque and you decorate the flag piece you found, and then the flag will be sewn back together and put in a time capsule, people who find a piece of the flag  are LEGENDARY. So of course, Ali gets a piece of the flag, claiming Jason (Her older brother) hid one of the pieces and told her where to find it. Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily all went to Ali's house the next day to retrieve the flag. And Ali explained that it had been stolen from her. Which is allowed in the game. The clues of the book and the thoughts all go back to that day and what happened. What they found was that Jason and Darren Wilden (Officer Wilden) were friends in high school and have some link to Ali's murder, or at least have something hidden. Now the ending to this book is incredible and a twist is something I did NOT see coming. Someone set fire to a barn that the girls were in and Aria rescued a girl in the forest that was in trouble. Later on when they were out of the fire they took the hood down and the face was...Ali's. Ya. I know what your thinking. "BUT ALI"S DEAD" well i doun'tt know the answer because that's where Killer ends and Heartless starts, i have an idea as to what happened...but thats something you have to figure out yourself....Happy reading.

Live on

Wicked by Sara Shepard a Pretty little Liars novel- Book review

Hello Blogesphere

Today I am going to be reviewing a book, Wicked by Sara Shepard, The 5th book of the Pretty Little Liars series. And boy did the one before it leave some twists and answers that were making you pound on the book screaming "WHYYYYYYY" now before I go any further let me give you a disclaimer SPOILER

ALERT!!! If you want to read this book than stop now because I am going to summarize this totally. Ok. The books starts how all the books usually start, a story from the past (their usually my favorite part of the book) The chapter gets the ball rolling and explains most of the book, if this story wasn't told you wouldn't understand the book because usually the evidence they find or the things that happen are related to the story in the beginning. So the beginning story is about a time capsule flag thing happening yada yada yada, Ali comes strolling in and tells everyone that SHE is going to find a piece of the flag, because her brother is hiding a piece, than Ian comes in and tells her that someone might go and steal it because of her bragging, she said someone would have to kill her, Ian said "If that's all it takes" this relates to the book by a picture, a drawing, and the DISGUST that all the girls have (Hanna, Aria, and Spencer) because they thought Ian wanted to kill her than. Ya. Again if you haven't read the books and want to or are on the second book or something STOP! NOW! OK!! ok. Now this book is one of the most suspenseful books of the series...well actually the ending is, other than Unbelievable of course...that ending is unbelievable. Mona, Mona, Mona, *Shakes*head*. Anyway, The girls are closer in this book but they still have their separate lives. And amazingly Sara Shepard found MORE secrets that the girls were hiding...and gave them new ones, how many secrets can one girl have? Can you tell me that. Hanna is literally clawing herself back up to popularity and would do ANYTHING! Aria likes and almost kissed a guy that her mom ended up dating. Emily keeps on switching teams (PICK ONE!! ARE YOU BI, LES, OR STRAIGHT!! SERIOUSLY) And Spencer is potentially adopted. Actually no she IS adopted. The ending is scary, crazy, flippen horrible, and happy at the same time. The last words of the book?


He had to go -A



Who was close to tears? ME!? *sigh* Thats it. Read the series. I got two GUYS in my class reading it so I think you can at least try it. It gets better and better so tough out any boring parts!!! READ IT! NOW!!

Byee
