A review sortof ~ Survivors by Sophie Littlefield

So I was going to review this book until I remembered that it wouldn't be fair to do that since I have not read the first or the second in the series. And honestly the only reason I even read this one was due to the price of being free and it had Zombies. So out of respect for the author I shall review this after I have read the first one.

PS This does not mean by in way shape or form that I didn't enjoy this book b/c I did. If I had not enjoyed this book I would not be wanting to read the first LOL. So take it with a grain of salt this book was like 30 pages and didn't give me enough of a feel to let you know how the series was or is.

Review ~ The Luxe by Anna Godbersen

TITLE: The Luxe
AUTHOR: Anna Godbersen
COPYRIGHT: 2007
TYPE: young adult
PAGES: 433
SERIES:  Yes

REASON FOR READING: Come on the pretty, pretty dresses were just too much for me to resist

SUMMARY (from Goodreads):
Pretty girls in pretty dresses, partying until dawn.
Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles and dangerous intentions.
White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous hookups.
This is Manhattan, 1899.

Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene. Or so it appears. When the girls discover their status among New York City's elite is far from secure, suddenly everyone--from the backstabbing socialite Penelope Hayes, to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker, to the spiteful maid Lina Broud--threatens Elizabeth's and Diana's golden future.

With the fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose between family duty and true love. But when her carriage overturns near the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the city's gossip pages is swallowed by the rough current. As all of New York grieves, some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattan's most celebrated daughter disappear...

In a world of luxury and deception, where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code means running the risk of being ostracized forever, five teenagers lead dangerously scandalous lives. This thrilling trip to the age of innocence is anything but innocent

THOUGHTS/OPINION:

Okay I will be honest it is seriously the cover that dragged me into reading this book and I have to say while not disappointed it wasn’t by far my favorite. A lot of this has to do with the fact that I watch Gossip Girl and I felt like I was reading a show set in the 1800s which wouldn’t be bad but it just wasn’t good for me. I do not know how else to describe it. I thought the plot was good the characters were well defined and drawn out. I managed to get sucked for a while then just like the show I found I didn’t care after a while but, somehow I would get sucked in again. I thought it was interesting reading about what life could’ve been like for a socialite in that time period. It is a good book I think if you enjoy young adult literature and you enjoy whose talking about who and then did you know she is screwing him? And how do I get back at her for that b/c she’s not as pretty as I am. Whew it was a lot!

That being said it wasn’t all bad it had its moments where I found myself rooting for one or the other girl.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? It was a library book

Goodreads grade: 2 out of 5
Would you recommend this book? Yeah I would if anyone asked me for a recommendation that was like the show and young adult I would suggest this one.

Review ~ The Goblin King by Shona Husk

TITLE: The Goblin King
AUTHOR: Shona Husk
COPYRIGHT: 2011
TYPE: urban fantasy with romance?
PAGES: 317
SERIES:  apparently

REASON FOR READING: No real reason behind it I just like Goblins and it looked interesting.

SUMMARY (from Goodreads):

Once upon a time...

A man was cursed to the Shadowlands, his heart replaced with a cold lump of gold. In legends he became known as The Goblin King.

For a favored few he will grant a wish. Yet, desperately clinging to his waning human soul, his one own desire remains unfulfilled: A Willing Queen.

But who would consent to move from the modern-day world into the realm of nightmares? No matter how intoxicating his touch, no matter how deep his valor, loving him is dangerous. And the one woman who might dare to try could also destroy him forever

THOUGHTS/OPINION:
I have to say I did enjoy this book. If I had to pick a downside or a negative thing it would have to be that at times it just appeared to drag. I found myself skipping over parts and skimming descriptions. I did enjoy learning about the curse and how Roan lived with his friends and what the place was like where they lived. There were a couple of good touching scenes that Roan had to deal with that opened the heroine’s eyes as well as mine on what the man was like underneath. I did like the heroine especially when she finally came into her own and refused to be bullied by the finance. All in all it was a good book and a nice read.

Are you keeping it or passing it on? I will pass it was a good one but not enough for me to read the next

Would you recommend this book? If you like to read about different worlds and curses this is the book for you. Ms. Husk did a fantastic job on the world building and creating of a different story line. I appreciate that this wasn't another vampire or werewolf book.

Goodreads ranking: 3 out of 5
