Bunker Boy Book Review

Bunker Boy by Jordan Elisabeth
I have always been a fan of Jordan's book - her flow of writing and the intrinsic way the plot's twists occur. This one took me by surprise. I did NOT see that twist coming at the end, I was so confused, 'is this really the end? what really happened? will she go out and see what happened to her family?' It did not occur to me that the whole thing was a cult. It was annoying to read about the men being such asses and making the rules for the women, but I do get the 'we need to repopulate the world'. However, it is NOT the first thing that you think about if you ever wake up from a  coma after surviving a near apocalypse. 

 I felt so much anxiety when Zara was going out, exploring around the resort. I was scared that she get caught, get tortured BUT somehow I did wanted to see if they would throw her outside. This was me still believing, like the girls, that the end had come. I think I need to re-evaluate the number of post-apocalyptic books I read. 

 After everything was unravelled, I was again scared that Bunker Boy would die! I expected some romantic scenes with Zara but with such circumstances, I don't think it would make sense. He did brush his fingers on Zara's cheek, that was sweet and heart tickling. 

 I am glad about the ending, I expected worst. 

 It was a nice, quick read (since I read the whole thing within hours).

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Book Review

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #3 EPIC-TASTIC FINALE  I took my time with this one. It was worth savouring each page. I can't express how much I love this series. Magnus, Samirah, Blitz, Hearth, Mallory, T.J and Half-born have become my friends (in my head). The book has the typical Riordan's ingredients. It is hilarious, the adventures just don't stop, the actions even how gruesome it is, you are not horrified, you root for the characters, the plot has a flow and you learn tons on specific mythology, and this case, it's on Norse.  I could not help myself picturing Loki, Odin, Thorn, Heimdall and Frigg as the actors in Marvel's Thor. Though picturing Thor, Chris Hemsworth as a Metallica fan who likes to fart a lot was hard. I had to stretch my imagination there.  I won't summarise the story - those who read the first two will know what is going to happen in this and why our young (mostly dead heroes) are hell-bent in stopping Loki's

Summoned to Thirteenth Grave Book Review

Charlie Davidson Series, Book 13 (Last one) I DON'T WANT IT TO END!  I delayed so much reading this one because I did not want it to end. I want more. It ended with a cliffhanger though. WHERE'S OSH? DID HE SWITCHED SIDE? We need Osh and a Beep story, like 18years later. I am sad that Charlie and Reyes couldn't be 'normal' parents. But they are here for her, a safe haven.  As usual, Charlie's character is a breath of fresh air. You love her even if she's annoying or keeps naming things/locations/body anatomies with ridiculous names. Reyes is just Reyes. This man makes me hyperventilate every time his dimple or smirk is mentioned. The man is among the top shelves male characters along with Bones from Night Huntress, Barrons from Fever Series, Kaleb from Psy-changeling series and Raphael from Guild Hunter series. TOP SHELF, ma man!  After 13 books, you tend to be familiar with Darynda's writing style and the flow of the plot. As usual, there i

Vortex Visions Book Review

Vortex Visions, Book one of the Vortex Chronicles Reading Vortex Visions was like coming back to a place you visited a long time ago. I loved Air Awakens books, with Vhalla and Aldrik. Elise Kova knows how to create worlds and inhuman creatures that become normal for you, such as in the Loom Chronicles. And I expected the same with Vortex Visions, Elise definitely delivered.  Vhalla, being one of my favourite female book characters, it was pretty normal that I love her daughter. She is a good mix of Aldrik and Vhalla. I nearly forgot the promise Vhalla made to Sehra. I'm glad it was not shown how it happened, I wouldn't bear watching Aldrik and Vhalla letting go of Vi. Anyway, few first pages of the book and I was already hooked. We heard about and met the original characters. We met new characters that slowly became my favourites as well, except Andru. His first expression got me suspicious and I nearly hated him.  I must say it took me a while to understand that Romu
