Quotes : “Libraries were full of ideas—perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”
“You could rattle the stars,” she whispered. “You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”
“We all bear scars,… Mine just happen to be more visible than most.”
“No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.
“My name is Celaena Sardothien. But it makes no difference if my name’s Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I’d still beat you, no matter what you call me.”
“I like music,” she said slowly, “because when I hear it, I . . . I lose myself within myself, if that makes any sense. I become empty and full all at once, and I can feel the whole earth roiling around me. When I play. I’m not . . . for once, I’m not destroying, I’m creating.”
No matter what happens,” she said quietly, “I want to thank you.” Chaol tilted his head to the side. “For what?” Her eyes stung but she blamed it on the fierce wind and blinked away the dampness. “For making my freedom mean something.”
She moaned into her pillow. “Go away. I feel like dying.” “No fair maiden should die alone,” he said, putting a hand on hers. “Shall I read to you in your final moments? What story would you like?” She snatched her hand back. “How about the story of the idiotic prince who won’t leave the assassin alone?” “Oh! I love that story! It has such a happy ending, too—why, the assassin was really feigning her illness in order to get the prince’s attention! Who would have guessed it? Such a clever girl. And the bedroom scene is so lovely—it’s worth reading through all of their ceaseless banter!
One year ago, there was a party. At the party, someone died. Five teens each played a part and up until now, no one has told the truth.
But tonight, the five survivors arrive at an isolated mansion in the hills, expecting to compete in a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. Of course…some things are too good to be true.
Now, they realize they’ve been lured together by a person bent on revenge, a person who will stop at nothing to uncover what actually happened on that deadly night, one year ago.
Five arrived, but not all can leave. Will the truth set them free? Or will their lies destroy them all?
Review : this book was crazy so after an event a year ago they are all brought to this mansion to solve a fake murder but are they really . When they discover they were brought here under false information. Gavin was drugged . Parker is a creepy fucking stalker and a psychopath. He loves ruby but maybe to much Juniper thought she was protecting her friend .

Luke is dealing with a lot he works as stripper and he has a fucked up family where as Keeton is rich but he wants to study animals but his dad wants him to fallow in the family business . Luke and Keaton IRl don’t know they are talking to each other and don’t really talk only clipped words . When Luke and Keaton find out they are who they were talking to and flirting with they kind of freak out Keaton’s girlfriend dumped him cause she felt the spark left . Keaton is discoving is sexuality and him and Luke end up hooking and being friends with benifits . Keaton is getting feelings for Luke but Luke doesn’t know how to deal with that . Luke’s family are assholes his brother stole money from him . Keaton takes Luke out of town for his birthday which was super sweet Keaton is starting to see he isn’t bisexual but more gay . when they get back Luke is aressted cause his asshole brother stole his keycard and stole computers . Keaton freaks out and one of his frat brothers who’s a dick they get in a fistfight .

Keaton gets the intership to go to chille and Luke gets a job at Keaton’s dad business and Keaton misses Luke and tells him to come to hamtons and it’s his last chance with him and he comes they both say they love each other aww I loved this book .
Quotes : “Dumb” and “selfish” will definitely be the descriptors I use if I decide to run a smear campaign against Mr. Jockface. “Seriously hot” also works, although it kills me to admit that. Still, even though the guy’s good-looking, he’s not my type at all. I don’t go for preppy jocks. When I’m in the mood for a guy, I like ‘em a little rougher around the edges. But, hey, if you like handsome rich dudes, Keaton is your man.
Oh, did I mention I’m a stripper? Some dudes prefer “male entertainer” or “exotic dancer,” but I call a spade a spade. I spend two nights a week shaking my crotch in happy women’s faces and stripping down to a G-string. Ergo, I’m a stripper.
he found that their brains light up just as enthusiastically for praise as they do for food. In other words, I’m as smart as a golden retriever.
Annika’s eyes go wide, and when I try to swallow, my water goes down the wrong pipe. Well, Dad, we’re inviting a man to get naked with us and get us both off together. As one does.
Really? I’m not in the habit of asking my buddies to get naked with me. What if they’re disgusted? Then I have to avoid them until graduation. No—longer. There we’ll be at the ten-year reunion, drinking our first beer of the weekend, and I’ll see him across the way. And his eyes will go all squinty. There’s the pervert who wanted to see my dick.
“That’s exactly what you wanted to do, remember, Keaton? You wanted to fuck me. You wanted me to fuck you. You wanted me. You wanted this—” I grab him by the back of the neck and kiss him.
“I’m going to put this into terms that you can understand.” “This better be good.” “You’re a yellow lab.” “I’m…what?” “A dog.
May 26-29 Remember how many lies we told, Molly? It’s enough to make my head spin. You were wild when I met you, and I was mad for you. But then something happened. And now you’re gone.
But don’t worry. I’ll find you. I just need to sift through the story of us to get to where you might be. I’ve got places to look, and a list of names.
The police have a list of names, too. See now? There’s another lie. There is only one person they’re really looking at, Molly.
And that’s yours truly.
Review : this book was fucking crazy and I loved it it’s about a boy and girl who tell lies but then the girl goes missing. Its told in three POV then ,now and molly . We are to believe that molly ran away but Cobain doesn’t believe that he believes she was taken and he has suspects. Molly was taken by a man who makes her call him blue he has a mask and she’s trying to manipulate him to let her go . No one believes Cobain when they think she was taken not even his brother who is coming around more often than usual. In the then part we learn molly’s dad con some people and got someone to kill himself and now hes in jail . I had some guesses on who took molly but I figured it out early on but I needed to know why. Cobain is finally taken in by the police they believe he took molly but he escapes and calls his brother then it hits him hes not there his brother holt died he killed him and it’s just his mind playing tricks on him . He calls his mom and she explains he didn’t kill him holt was unwell so they sent him away . Holt took molly I so guessed that Cobain was talking to himself . Holt had issues and his parents sent him away after he tired to hurt Cobain. Cobain finds molly and holt and so do the police . This book was so crazy I loved it .

Review : it’s over I cried the curse is finally over and everyone is getting ready to move on tohru yuki and kyo are graduating they all are moving away . It’s so weird and cute to see kyo and Tohru as a couple I’m glad they can finally be happy and yuki also with machi and all the other characters all these characters have grown so much I loved this series.
The curse is crumbling, and Akito is doing anything to clutch at the broken threads that remain. Does the end of the curse mean catastrophe for the members of the zodiac, or will it bring the much needed healing they’ve all dreamed of? Tohru’s bright love and generosity will become a beacon of hope in the dark…!
Review : it’s coming to an end .akito finds tohru and she wants to be friends she wants to understand her but Tohur ends up falling kyo finds her and kisses her she goes into the hospital and arisa and saki ban kyo from seeing tohru they say he has to deal with something first . Kyo goes to see his father akito is going to destroy the room they kept the cat. Kyo finally sees tohru and he tells her he loves her and they want to hug and he doesn’t transform the curse is broken .
The much-loved series winds down to the homestretch. Tohru’s feelings for Kyo come to the forefront as she desperately searches for a way to break the curse. If she can’t find a cure in time, Kyo will be locked away by the Sohma for the rest of his life!

Review : this one was crazy momiji grew like super tall . We find out ayame’s worker who helps him out at the store is his girlfriend aww how sweet. Kagura is mad a tohru cause she hasn’t confessed her feelings to kyo and tohru tells them that she loves kyo and kagura hits her and wants her to tell him . Momiji and Hiro’s curse finally broke but no one knows yet and akito is pissed . Akito stabbed kureno what the helll.
Secrets of the curse revealed! Dive deep into the twisted relationship between Akito and Kureno, the most elusive member of the Sohma zodiac. Tohru tries to help, but finds herself in even deeper trouble. Good thing she has steadfast friends who will save the day!

And trouble is on the horizon when Hatsuharu finally learns what Akito did to Rin. Will anything be able to stop his wrath, or will he do something he can’t take back?!
Review : This volume was crazy we find out so much Kureno tells Tohru his curse was broken years ago but hes still stayed with akito cause SHE needed him Cause akito is a woman who was raised a man by her mother what the hell . Akito is mad at shigure cause he was meeting up with his editor and she asked him if he has slept with her he hasn’t but he has slept with Akito’s mom oh my god and aparently he did it as revenge for akito sleeping with Kureno what the fuck. Tohru is looking for rin and no one knows where she is . Machi opens up to Yuki since there is a rumor going around the school that Machi killed her little brother which is far from the truth she was tucking him in and her mother thought machi was trying to kill him what the hell. Haru’s mom had her baby it’s a girl Hinita . Akito she locked up Rin and Kureno found out and they took her to the hospital Haru was pisse d and went to see Akito to yell at her so crazy and Rin is going to stay with the master for the time being . Shigure comes to see Rin to tell her she’s been hoodwinked by Akito’s mother and that’s how se got locked up and he said the curse will break on it’s own .

Meanwhile, Tohru’s class is going to put on a play for the school festival, but miscasting makes it rough going for rehearsal. Will there be chaos on stage when the curtain finally rises?!

Then, it’s business as usual for Tohru and the others, but something is eating at Kyo?!
Review: we learn a lot about yuki’s isolation with akito and how little Yuki met tohru so cute .Yuki sees Tohru as a mother figure in his life since he never really had parents who cared for him. I love kakeru and Yuki’s friendship cause hes so odd but brings yuki out of his shell.Tohur’s class is doing Cinderella and kyo is playing the prince yuki is the fairy godmother saki is Cinderella and Tohur is a evil stepsister but they end up having to fix it cause Tohur has a hard time being evil so it turns to be Cinderella ish it was funny . Kyo I think is having more feelings for tohru which is sweet . We learn kyo met Tohru mom and we learn the story about kyoko and how she met katsuya and how they had tohru and how he died and what kyoko had to deal with and raising Tohru on her own. Tohru and kyo are staying as his masters place for new year’s and rin is staying also .yuki ends up staying at the main house and says to akito that he forgives him and akito gets mad and hurts yuki what the hell is wrong with akito.
May 20 Yuki-alongside his mother, who already has his life after high school all mapped out-confronts his future at a parent-teacher conference. To make matters worse, when Yuki recalls buried memories, he becomes speechless! Meanwhile, Tohru pays a visit to the Sohma compound in order to confirm if Kureno Sohma is really the same man with whom her best friend, Uo-chan, is in love!
Love isn’t in the air for Isuzu and Hatsuharu, however, as the two have broken up. Desperately in search of something, Isuzu visits Shigure’s house as if driven there, but collapses upon arrival. A shocked Tohru happens to be on the scene, but all she can do is comfort Isuzu in her pain. But Isuzu seems to know all about Tohru fighting the Sohma curse on her own…!?
Review : I feel like each volume gets darker . Its parent teacher conference and yuki’s mother shows up I do not like her and mostly states his future out for him but yuki is not having it an ayame shows up and stands in for his mother I love him.Tohru goes to soma compound and looks for kureno because she wants to find out if the guy arisa likes is the same guy she runs into momo who is momiji younger sister but doesn’t know about momiji. She wants momiji to be her brother and she learned to play violin so she could play with him yes I was crying at this point . Tohru finds kureno and asks him if he knows arisa he says he doesn’t plan on contacting her again. Tohru wants to break the curse and rin is super depressed her parents were shitty and just ditched her she fell in love with haru but broke it off I feel sad for her .
