GLAMITURE #2 - SHINY BROKEN PIECES

TITLE: SHINY BROKEN PIECES
AUTHOR: SONA CHARAIPOTRA & DHONIELLE CLAYTON
PUBLICATION: 2017
PAGES: 284

*DISCLAIMER*
THIS BOOK IS A DUOLOGY THE FIRST IS TINY PRETTY THINGS... I SUGGEST READING IT FIRST BEFORE READING THIS.
This book was one of my favorite "must reads" so far. This book is set apart from other books because the non-glamorization portrayal of the unlikeable heroines. There is backstabbing, savagery, and lots of tears. This book allows you to see this and see them make the decisions they make, and how messy they get. This book is full of rawness. The character development of this book is spot on and the book itself does a excellent job of making you feel like you are in NYC and dancing with others. 
I enjoyed the character switches in this book, making you feel different things and different feelings/emotions for the character you first hated in the book. I also liked that this book dealt with various real life issues such as: anorexia, bulimia, inappropriate relationships, crimes, etc.
I am still wondering if ballet is as competitive and whether or not the dancers are actually as bad as they are portrayed in the book - because honestly its kind of scary. 
This book however, did leave you with unanswered questions, and that I did not like. I would have liked to know if there was point to certain things/events that happened. I would have liked to know if June got better and continued getting better, was she still with her boyfriend?

GLAMITURE #8 - THE RIDGE

TITLE:  THE RIDGE AUTHOR: JOHN RECTOR PUBLICATION: 2017 PAGES: 284 START DATE: 12/07/17 FINISH DATE: 12/15/17 RATING: 2 This book....How do I even start this review?  This book started out really good, and had a ton of plot twists, it was GREAT, it kept my attention from the beginning until the end, but this book fell flat for me, and here's why... I felt this book was rushed towards the end, it wasn't put together, the ending fell flat and made the book fall flat...on its cover. I literally said out loud after reading it "what the hell did I just read", I was PISSED at the way it ended because the book had so much potential going into the story, I wanted to throw my kindle clear across the room, that's how mad I was.. Because of this book I was in a reading slump because I was so disappointed in the ending.

GLAMITURE #10 - SHADOW KISS (VAMPIRE ACADEMY #3)

TITLE: Shadow Kiss AUTHOR: Richelle Mead  PUBLICATION DATE:   2008 PAGES: 446 START DATE:   02-18-18 END DATE:   03-09-18 RATING: 4 The ending of this book kind of upset but it was an amazing book, this book is the one that go me  hooked on the series. There is so much going on in this book, I don't even know where to begin. I was captivated by this book, I really love Dimitri and Rose together... Rose is a character whom had to grow on me, for sure, she kind of got on my nerves in the beginning two books because of how pessimistic she was, every single thing made her mad, and she had a temper and I understand with the whole thing going on with her soaking up the "darkness" from Lissa but I sometimes felt like shaking her and telling her "life isn't that damn bad, you have a really hoot guy, just get the heck over it" but she kind of really grew on me in this book. I started seeing her as more of an enduring cha...

GLAMITURE #7 - VAMPIRE ACADEMY (BOOK ONE)

*SIX BOOK SERIES* TITLE:  VAMPIRE ACADEMY AUTHOR: RICHELLE MEAD PUBLICATION: 2007 PAGES: 340 START DATE: 12/24/17 FINISH DATE: 12/28/17 RATING: 5 I decided to read and start this series to get out of a reading slump because of book that ended badly.. I was skeptical at first about reading it and here's why: this is a book that is loved by almost every YA reader out there, its had fans from the beginning which therefore made it one of the most hyped up books, and if you know ANYTHING from my blogs, I don't really do hyped up books because of the fact that some people don't like what I do, and my other reasoning because I thought this was twilight type story, and lord know how much I HATED twilight with a passion, not that I didn't attempt to try and like twilight...I was surprised though, this book was far from anything like twilight it was more "mortal instruments" style than anything, in my opinion and it kept my attention ...
