My Book Boyfriend {1}


This week I have chosen to participate in the weekly meme, My Book Boyfriend hosted by The Unread Reader.  My choice is from the novel Firelight (left) by Sophie Jordan (right).

My Book Boyfriend is :

Will Rutledge


 I chose Will because he is sincere and everything about him is attractive.
There are so many things I can say about Will but I would rather use quotes!

"Whoever you are, Jacinda, you're someone I have to let in."

“You want to go out?" he asks suddenly.
I blink. "As in a date?"
"Yes. That's what a guy usually means when he asks that question.” 

“A hunter in love with his prey.”

“I'll find you. I will. We'll be together again.” 

"A sound escapes his lips.  A word.  I hear it, but think, no. He didn't say that. . . . Never learn if he really whispered what I think he did.  Beautiful."

Will is everything I look for in a guy.  I pictured him to look like : Colton Haynes 



Absolutely perfect, in my opinion! <3

Will's traits :
-Hazel eyes
-Brownish hair
-Tan skin
-Muscular body  


LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

The Ghost and The Goth - Stacey Kade

"Alona Dare–Senior in high school, co-captain of the cheerleading squad, Homecoming Queen three years in a row, voted most likely to marry a movie star… and newly dead.

I’m the girl you hated in high school. Is it my fault I was born with it all-good looks, silky blond hair, a hot bod, and a keen sense of what everyone else should not be wearing? But my life isn’t perfect, especially since I died. Run over by a bus of band geeks—is there anything more humiliating? As it turns out, yes—watching your boyfriend and friends move on with life, only days after your funeral. And you wouldn’t believe what they’re saying about me now that they think I can’t hear them. To top it off, I’m starting to disappear, flickering in and out of existence. I don’t know where I go when I’m gone, but it’s not good. Where is that freaking white light already?

Will Killian–Senior in high school, outcast, dubbed “Will Kill” by the popular crowd for the unearthly aura around him, voted most likely to rob a bank…and a ghost-talker.

I can see, hear, and touch the dead. Unfortunately, they can also see, hear and touch me. Yeah, because surviving high school isn’t hard enough already. I’ve done my best to hide my “gift.” After all, my dad, who shared my ability, killed himself because of it when I was fifteen. But lately, pretending to be normal has gotten a lot harder. A new ghost—an anonymous, seething cloud of negative energy with the capacity to throw me around—is pursuing me with a vengeance. My mom, who knows nothing about what I can do, is worrying about the increase in odd incidents, my shrink is tossing around terms like “temporary confinement for psychiatric evaluation,” and my principal, who thinks I’m a disruption and a faker, is searching for every way possible to get rid of me. How many weeks until graduation?"-Goodreads

OH MY GOSH!!! 

WAS NOT EXPECTING . . .

NO WAY?!?!

AWWWWW :)

I KNEW IT!

YAYY!!!!!!

All of these things were going through my head while I read this book!

The Ghost and The Goth has one of them covers that makes me think that I'm going to extremely dislike this book. Surprisingly, This book was amazing!! It took don't judge a book by it's cover to another level.  The cover reminds me a whole lot like Generation Dead, while I did not like at all.  The emotions I felt for the characters were overwhelming and I just loved everything about this book.

The Ghost:  Alona Dare is the most popular girl at school, until she unexpectedly dies (she got ran over by a school bus full of band geeks).   She is trying to find out how to cross over/find the light.  Then she discovers that The Goth can see her. Can he help her?

The Goth:  Will Killian is diagnosed as a schizophrenic, when in reality he can really see and hear dead people.  When he was in really big trouble, Alona steps up and claims him to help her first, which ends up making her his spirit-guide. 

 This book was not at all what I was expecting.  It was funny, emotional, and even a tiny bit scarey.  I have no negative comments.  I enjoyed it and want to get my hands on the second instalment.  I give it five out of five hearts!

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare

"Magic is dangerous—but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What’s more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by—and torn between—two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length . . . everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world. . . . and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all."

-Goodreads 

I know a lot of people are going to think I am crazy for saying this but, I did not want to read this book at all.  Then I got  up went to the store and bought it.  After a few weeks, Clockwork Angel was still sitting on the shelf. During spring break, I decided to start reading it.  After a few days of reading it slowly, (It was spring break I wasn't going to read a lot) I started to really get into it, and I started to like it.  The romance in this book is like a lot of paranormal romance books with the love triangle.  Throughout the whole book, I was guessing what Tessa was and being mad at Will and wishing the the answers to my questions would come.  This book was really good and I should have read it earlier. I give this book four out of five stars.

Once in a Full Moon - Ellen Schreiber

"Beware of a kiss under the full moon. It will change your life forever.

Celeste Parker is used to hearing scary stories about werewolves--Legend's Run is famous for them. She's used to everything in the small town until Brandon Maddox moves to Legend's Run and Celeste finds herself immediately drawn to the handsome new student. But when, after an unnerving visit with a psychic, she encounters a pack of wolves and gorgeous, enigmatic Brandon, she must discover whether his transformation is more than legend or just a trick of the shadows in the moonlight.

Her best friends may never forgive her if she gives up her perfect boyfriend, Nash, for Brandon, who's from the wrong side of town. But she can't deny her attraction or the strong pull he has on her. Brandon may be Celeste's hero, or he may be the most dangerous creature she could encounter in the woods of Legend's Run.

Psychic predictions, generations-old secrets, a town divided, and the possibility of falling in love with a hot and heroic werewolf are the perfect formula for what happens . . . once in a full moon."

Nevermore - Kelly Creagh

"Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look. 

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. 

As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares. 

His life depends on it."  -Goodreads
