It was indeed a rematch! Whether it was the Warcross Finale, Emika against Zero or Hideo against Zero.   My mind is still reeling from all the unravelling of the secrets and mysteries. I sense that I am about to get a major book hangover from this one. I read it so fast when Emika started to learn about Zero, aka Sasuke Tanaka. The twists at that particular part kept me going until I swallowed the last paragraph and I felt empty.  I WANT MORE, MARIE! I needed more Hideo and Emika. And THIS IS THE LAST BOOK! I do not know why I thought it would be a trilogy. I expected a cliff-hanger at the end, that would make want to scream in my wardrobe or my pillow. It had a satisfactory ending. WHY! I mean I want a happy ending for the protagonists, but UGH! Bloody hangover! I am having serious withdrawals.  When I started to read the book and when Emika met Zero and his crew, I wanted her to tell him to go to Hideo and tell him he's alive. Hideo would stop the algor...

Ocean Light by Nalini Singh  A Psy-changeling Novel The Trinity Accord Era Being big isn't an advantage if you don't use your brains. Intelligence and strategy have won more fights than might. - Bowen Knight, Chief Security, Human Alliance In the middle of the read, I was already planning to give this book 4 Stars on Goodreads, but then... FREAKING KRYCHEK APPEARED. So it is a 5 Stars for me! The moment we first met Bowen Knight , I was curious about him. He could not be unimportant to introduced him and had him cameos in other stories as well. He had to be important and he effing is. He could nearly pass as a changeling alpha. The dude reeks of dominance.  The plot was well done, well written and to the point. There were no unnecessary descriptions that made you forget what the eff is happening or which conversation just happened. The descriptions only made you want to visit Lantia or Ryujin, or eat Kaia's blueberry pie. Enough to tickle the ima...

Yo! What are we doing to our blue ball?  Personally, I have always been acute to listen, to watch or to read more about nature - it's destruction in progress and ways to help to minimise that imminent destruction. It was simple acts such as bringing a bigger eco-friendly plastic bags to pick up trash while going on a picnic, never throw out trash out of car windows or while walking on the street, pick up little plastics or garbage on the beach or use reusable napkins for daily usage and trying to encourage restaurants which banned plastic straws. The little things. I never thought of diving deep in the subject, it was not about being inconsiderate but lack of opportunity to do more... until now.  I have been chosen to work as an intern, a communication fellow most precisely for an organisation called SYAH. To sound very formal and informative, SYAH is youth led organisation which bring together a group of young people to ensure the better future of our pla...

Warcross book 1  I am obsessed!  This is officially my first time reading  Marie Lu ’s and I love it. The nuance of the plot, the characters and the writing style slayed. I could not stop reading. I was glued to my pages, even during a family dinner.  OBSESSED! And of course, after I devour this book like a proper Booklion, I had a bad book hangover. I HAD to get Marie Lu’s other books.  Our main female protagonist is a hacker and nearly homeless and penniless, namely Emika Chen who sports a rainbow hair. Life has definitely not been great for her. She is beautiful, smart and doesn’t give up.  One bold move on the famous interface Warcross, and she becomes a Celebrity. We're talking Black Mirror meets Ready Player One.  At first when Warcross is being introduced and described, I was in awe. I wanted to have this world. I live practically online - chat, ebooks, streaming movies and shows. So, having this while walking, doing daily chores...
