Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers
After pinning away for this book for two long and checking about four bookstores for it I finally ordered it. After two weeks I got this book in the mail and started reading it. The first thing I noticed is that it would be AWESOME to smell emotions and know what was going on around you. At first I was dead set against Luc and didn't know how this could be a love triangle if he was a jerk, but after he started to feel emotions I started to fall for him along with Frannie. Speaking of Frannie I thought she was really cool, but one thing I did notice about her was that she cried. A lot. I felt like she cried every other chapter. Plus she didn't believe in love. What the hell?(No pun intended) I mean I can't even pretend to know what it would feel like to feel responsible for the death of your twin brother who was your best friend, but you love your grandfather and family right, your friends? And Gabe, oh Gabe. I wish I could have read more about you and from your POV, but I apparently can't in this book. I loved that you would have been willing to give up your wings for her and that you loved her even if you haven't edmited it yet. You are an awesome angel and I wish Trevor and Riley werent dating, because I think that they would make a good couple when the love triangle had taken its course. There's also Luc, the amazing hot demon who is now with Frannie, but I could have guessed that by the time he started to like her and her him that she was more into him than Gabe and that by the end of the book they'd be together. I'm still wondering what's going on with Frannie's parents and why the second her dad saw Luc he distrusted him. The book had a good ending and made me keep wanting to read more. I can't wait to read book two. 4.5 stars. Team Luc. I think?
Teen Wolf : On Fire by Nancy Holder
Teen Wolf is my favorite tv show so when I heard Nancy Holder was making a book out of it I couldn't wait to read it. While I was looking around at my local bookstore I stumbled upon it and knew I would be buying it. I pretty much always think that the books are better than the movies and tv shows, but this was an exception. While it was a good book I didn't enjoy it as much as the tv series. While I'm glad to have read it, I don't know if I would read it again. Some of the good parts though was learning about Derek's relationship with Kate and how much she really betrayed him and learning more about all of the characters. We get the point of views from Scott, Alison, Lydia, Derek, Kate, Stiles, and Jackson. The book started of right when Alison's dad had killed the mountin lion, the one framed by The Alpha for the killings and attacks. The story went on from there and we got to learn even more about all of those characters and what they're thinking. That's also one of the reasons I like books better than movies is because instead of just getting the characters actions we get their thoughts and their actions. I found a deeper hate for Kate, a further love for Stiles and Derek, and maybe a tiny bit of pity for Jackson. I'm still thinking it over. I think it's hard on him to know that his parents think he's going to fail and not knowing who his biological parents are. I'm wondering and hoping that Scott's dad is dead and never comes back, I was also cheering his mom on in this book in the flash backs. After the flash backs and different POVs I've decided that if Nancy Holder makes a sequel I'll read it.
I'll give this book 3.5 stars, and hope to read a sequel. Happily there was no cliff hanger since we already know how season one ends and although the end wasn't my favorite I still thought it was an okay ending. Go Team Stiles!
