Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Review! Spoilers!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar ChildrenA mysterious island.


 
An abandoned orphanage.


 
A strange collection of very curious photographs.


 
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive. 

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

Well, this book was really awesome and true to its name, peculiar. I loved the idea for this book, it was  new and fresh. It was also terrifying, the characters were wonderful and had a lot of depth. I loved the pictures that were included, and the way that they were woven into the story. I can't wait for the movie thats directed by Tim Burton!!
Peace, Love and Fangirl,

 Alex

Waiting on Wednesday: Infinite by Jodi Meadows

                                                          
****"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly event hosted by Jill at the Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.****

 My pick this week:
Infinite cover
Infinite by Jodi Meadows
Expected Publication Date: January 28th, 2014 by Katherine Tegen Books

 DESTRUCTION
The Year of Souls begins with an earthquake—an alarming rumble from deep within the earth—and it’s only the first of greater dangers to come. The Range caldera is preparing to erupt. Ana knows that as Soul Night approaches, everything near Heart will be at risk.

FLIGHT
Ana’s exile is frightening, but it may also be fortuitous, especially if she can convince her friends to flee Heart and Range with her. They’ll go north, seeking answers and allies to stop Janan’s ascension. And with any luck, the newsouls will be safe from harm’s reach.

CHOICE
The oldsouls might have forgotten the choice they made to give themselves limitless lifetimes, but Ana knows the true cost of reincarnation. What she doesn’t know is whether she’ll have the chance to finish this one sweet life with Sam, especially if she returns to Heart to stop Janan once and for all.

With gorgeous romance and thrilling action, the final book in the Incarnate trilogy offers a brilliant conclusion to the compelling questions of this fascinating world, where one new girl is the key to the lives of millions.

 *sobs* Oh guys, I need this book in my life soon. EVERYTHING BAD HAPPENS TO MY BABIES. Jodi, stop being mean to Sam, kay? I can't wait for this book and I know that it will be an epic ending. Also because its Jodi's book. #EvilAuthorsAreEvil

 Peace, Love and Fangirl,

Blog Tour Stop: True Love's First Kiss by Heidi Garrett

Today I am the stop for the True Love's First Kiss Blog Tour!!

In the Enchanted World, true love’s first kiss is magic.

Nandana’s Mark, Book 1: When two half-faeries—Melia and her younger sister—are cursed under dreadful circumstances, true love’s first kiss is the remedy.

The Flower of Isbelline, Book 2: Nothing but true love’s first kiss can save Melia’s younger sister from blind ambition and ruin.

The Dragon Carnivale, Book 3: Melia must choose the freedom she cherishes or true love’s first kiss—and a relationship that promises to secure her place in the Whole.

The Queen of the Realm of Faerie is a fantasy fairy tale series that bridges the Mortal and Enchanted worlds. The main character, Melia, is an eighteen-year-old half-faerie, half-mortal. She lives in Illialei, a country in the Enchanted World, with her two sisters and their mother. Melia’s father has been exiled to the Mortal World, and her best friend is a pixie.

When the story opens in the first book, Melia is troubled by her dark moon visions, gossip she overhears about her parents at the local market, and the trauma of living among full-blooded faeries with wings—she doesn’t have any.

As the series unfolds, the historic and mystical forces that shape Melia’s life are revealed. Each step of her journey—to find the place where she belongs—alters her perceptions about herself, deepens her relationships with others, and enlarges her world view.

True Love’s First Kiss is a compilation of the first three books in this ongoing series.

REVIEW: Guys, I don't read a lot of Faerie books because I start thinking of TinkerBell but I loved this series. The plot is wonderful and the depth of the characters is spectacular. I loved the writing style, and how everything unraveled. Sometimes, you need help understanding the terminology but the longer you read, the easier it gets. I can't wait to read the next one!!

Blog Tour Stop: The Dawn of the Apocalypse

So today I am the stop for the Dawn of the Apocalypse tour

January 1, 2000.

May 21, 2011.

December 21, 2012

These are just a few of the days humans prophesied as bringing catastrophic events that would end the world. We predicted nuclear warfare. Drastic climate change. A call from God.
We were wrong.

Cue the gargoyle invasion—laboratory bred mutants designed to slaughter humans. When the government goes AWOL and gargoyles are swarming by the hundreds, it's up to the citizens of the United States to regroup and save themselves.

Meet Cliff Matthews, a teenage boy separated from his entire family with the exception of his younger sister, whom he is desperate to keep alive. Along the quest to save their lives, he encounters people who aren't all that they seem. Everyday's a battle, but if he can't trust his own species, where does that leave his family?
And we can't forget the man who may be willing to sacrifice Cliff's life, if it means world domination.

In terms of doomsday, no one could have seen this coming.

WATCH THE BOOK TRAILER


REVIEW: The book was good, not spectacular but good. The beginning put me off a little because it had poorly translated Spanish. I hope that will be corrected in the finished copy. The plot was excellent, I enjoyed the characters and I did feel empathy for Cliff. I enjoyed the book and I can't wait for the rest of you to read it!!
