[BOOK REVIEW] Hidden Wings - Cameo Renae


cover of Hidden Wings - Cameo Renae
NO SPOILERS


Today I'll be reviewing for you guys a book many of you may not have heard of it yet, and it is Hidden Wings, by Cameo Renae, which is a paranormal/supernatural young-adult novel and it is the first book of the series.

The story is about a seventeen year-old girl, Emma Wise, who wakes up in a hospital to find out that she had been in a car accident and was the only survivor.

  4 stars rating
Now, she has to move to Alaska with an aunt she never knew existed.

During her travel she realises that weird things are happening around her, and there's something wrong which no one but her aunt is in liberty to tell her about.

After arriving at her aunt's, she finds out what she is really destined to be.

So the book was really easy to read, I read it in a couple of days. I had been reading a lot of dystopian novels so this one was refreshing. The romance part was pretty standard for these kind of books, but I like the standard.

I read the ebook of it, and maybe that's just in the virtual book, but there was a lot of  missing and repeated words here and there, which annoyed me a little, but nothing major.

I also didn't like the fact that there was so many main characters that were brought up all the time, because I have a lousy memory when it comes to names, lol. Luckily the ebook for kindle has a little "thingy" where you can access easily to see the characters descriptions. But if you have an easier time associating names to characteristics it shouldn't bother you.

So overall I recommend this novel, even more for people who are beginning to read supernatural/paranormal books.

[TV SHOW REVIEW] You're the Worst - FXX


poster of You're the Worst - FXX
NO SPOILERS



So today I will be doing a review on a comedy show called You're the Worst. The series has been renewed for a second season, but the airing date has not been released yet.

The show is about two people, Gretchen Cutler and Jimmy Shive-Overly, both with toxic personalities trying to make it as a couple.

     4 stars rating
Gretchen is a messy cynical PR executive and Jimmy is a selfish insensitive british novelist, both living in Los Angeles.

It is fun to see how their relationship works and don't. Not only that, but their friends and not so friends are also quite messed up which makes this show even funnier.

Attention, the series is rated as TV-MA-LSV, which means some content may be unsuitable for children under 17, containing coarse language, sexual content and violence. Although I don't think it has much violence.

This is one of my favorite shows so obviously I do recommend it.

I know it seems like I only do reviews on tv shows I like, but that's just a coincidence because I like almost every show I watch. But who knows, maybe I'll watch one and I'll unlikely hate it and advice you guys not to see it.

But for now go ahead and check out You're the Worst, 'cause it is the best ;)

[MOVIE REVIEW] Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

Cover of the movie Before I Go To Sleep 2014
NO SPOILERS




So I wanted to review a movie this time, and I chose a recent-ish one, because there's not much point to reviewing movies like Titanic and Twilight - yes, two very very different movies, but I'm guessing everyone knows those two, lol.

  
With that said, I'll be reviewing Before I Go to Sleep, a mystery thriller film based on S.J. Watson's novel with the same title. Unfortunately I haven't read the book so I can't do a comparison for you guys.

If you haven't read the book and likes to be surprised about a movie, I advice you not to watch the trailer, because it is a MAJOR spoiler. But if you don't want to hear me then go right ahead, no resentments just a little :



The movie is about a woman called Christine Lucas, who wakes up every morning without knowing anything about her current life. And everyday her husband, Ben, tells her that she had an accident ten years ago and has been suffering from amnesia ever since.

Every morning Christine gets a call from a neurologist who's helping her, without her husband's knowledge, to figure out what really happened, since she is the only one who knows.

This movie reminds me of a dark version of 50 First Dates, which makes me love it even more.

Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth are really amazing actors and I think they were just perfect for this story. They have you believing in them the entire time.

Like I said, I haven't read the book so I don't know how that goes, but I felt like the movie deserved a better ending - even though I still did shed a few tears.

I can't say much more without spoiling the movie for you, so I'll leave you with that. I would recommend it because it has an amazing cast and the plot is good, but I have the feeling that the novel is probably better, and I'll be checking that out soon maybe because it made me very curious.

If you have a movie, book or tv show you want me to check it out, please let me know.
Leave a comment if you have suggestions, compliments or complaints. Your opinion is really important to me.

Thank you and I'll see in my next review, xo

[TV SHOW REVIEW] Lost Girl - Showcase


MINOR SPOILERS


I was just watching this tv show called Lost Girl, and I thought why not make a review on it since it is one of my favorite tv shows?

So, Lost Girl is a supernatural drama about a, well, lost girl named Bo, who comes to find out that she belongs to a world hidden from humans: the Fae world.

             
The Faes are supernatural creatures, such as shapeshifters, sirens, valkyries, oracles and etc., and they are divided into Light Fae and Dark Fae. Now, the Light Fae aren't necessarily good nor the Dark Fae are necessarily bad, although they tend and enjoy doing mean things just for the heck of it to be less considerate about others


Basically the story begins with Bo becoming friends with a human girl named Kenzi (Mackenzie Malikov) and finding out that she is a succubus - a creature that feeds from life energy (chi) of others, usually during sexual encounters -, and that, just like her, there are a lot of other creatures who don't fit in in the human world. When that happens, she is given a choice: she either joins the Light or the Dark.

She eventually chooses neither, and gets to be known as the unaligned succubus.

The show is currently in its 5th season and it is an amazing show. The cast is captivating and Anna Silk does an incredible job portraying Bo.

A lot has already happened so far, but the episodes are still always interesting and feels "natural" - by that I mean that the story doesn't feel dragged out, like it should've already ended.

So if you're into the supernatural genre and likes a sassy humor, you are going to enjoy this tv show. Oh, and also, you have to be ok with sexual content, since Bo has a very, very big appetite for every kind of person. ;)

I hope I helped you decide if you want or do not want to check this out.

[BOOK REVIEW] Marked - P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

cover of the book Marked by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast

NO SPOILERS



So this is my first book review, and I'm here to tell you about Marked, by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, which is the first book of the House of Night series, and it tells the story of Zoey Montgomery Redbird in the initiation of her vampire life.
 4 stars rating

I confess I have already read the first five books of the series, but since it was a while ago, I'm re-reading it, for my entertainment and to also bring you a "fresher" view of the book.

Zoey progresses a lot in this first book, going from a teenager who had a certain prejudice about vampires, to a chosen one by Nyx, the vampire goddess, to save the world from something that it's about to happen - which is not revealed in this book.

     
Since she is a 16 year old girl, the book allows teenagers to identify themselves with the situations Zoey goes through - hopefully not with the blood thirst though. And, maybe with less seriousness and a little more fun, even readers that are more mature can appreciate the story.

In this book vampires are a little different. Some cliche are left behind and some are changed, and it has its story mixed with some of the Cherokee's (Native American tribe indigenous to the Southeastern United States) history. Also, vampires coexist with humans.

Since I've read 4 more books, I can tell you that the story does change, the plot isn't very "still", which is something that might bother and even bore some people because of its complication, but I still recommend it, I think it's a really well written book with a unique story that has the power to draw you in once you've started it.
It's a love it or hate it kind of book, just go and see what you think about it!
