Book Review: pushing the limits Katie mcgarry

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1)Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Source – own

Finished April 30,2013

Review – Echo use to be normal until one night she got scars on her arms and doesn’t remember why now she is a freak. Noah lost his parents and now he’s trying to get his brothers back . Echo and Noah don’t get along at first but it seams they have allot more in common and Echo falls for Noah and the other way around Echo still doesn’t remember why her mom tried to kill her and Noah is trying to adopt his brothers problem Carrie and joe the parents that his brothers have now . But why Echo and Noah fall for each other they know there for each other they go through allot I loved this book it felt so real out of all the contemporary’s i’ve read .

Favorite quote – “If you’re scared, tell me. If you need to cry and scream, then do it. And you sure as hell don’t walk away from us because you think it would be better for me. Here’s the reality, Echo: I want to be by your side. If you want to go to the mall stark naked so you can show the world your scars, then let me hold your hand. If you want to see your mom, then tell me that too. I may not always understand, but damn, baby, I’ll try.”

“It doesn’t get better,” I said. “The pain. The wounds scab over and you don’t always feel like a knife is slashing through you. But when you least expect it, the pain flashes to remind you you’ll never be the same.”

Favorite quote

“Abe held my gaze a bit longer and then broke into an easy smile. ʺOf course, of course. This is a family gathering. A celebration. And look: hereʹs our newest member.ʺ

Dimitri had joined us and wore black and white like my mother and me. He stood beside me, conspicuously not touching. ʺMr. Mazur,ʺ he said formally, nodding a greeting to both of them. ʺGuardian Hathaway.ʺ

Dimitri was seven years older than me, but right then, facing my parents, he looked like he was sixteen and about to pick me up for a date.

ʺAh, Belikov,ʺ said Abe, shaking Dimitriʹs hand. ʺIʹd been hoping weʹd run into each other. Iʹd really like to get to know you better. Maybe we can set aside some time to talk, learn more about life, love, et cetera. Do you like to hunt? You seem like a hunting man. Thatʹs what we should do sometime. I know a great spot in the woods. Far, far away. We could make a day of it. Iʹve certainly got a lot of questions Iʹd like to ask you. A lot of things Iʹd like to tell you too.ʺ

I shot a panicked look at my mother, silently begging her to stop this. Abe had spent a good deal of time talking to Adrian when we dated, explaining in vivid and gruesome detail exactly how Abe expected his daughter to be treated. I did not want Abe taking Dimitri off alone into the wilderness, especially if firearms were involved.

ʺActually,ʺ said my mom casually. ʺIʹd like to come along. I also have a number of questions—especially about when you two were back at St. Vladimirʹs.ʺ

ʺDonʹt you guys have somewhere to be?ʺ I asked hastily. ʺWeʹre about to start.ʺ

That, at least, was true. Nearly everyone was in formation, and the crowd was quieting. ʺOf course,ʺ said Abe. To my astonishment, he brushed a kiss over my forehead before stepping away. ʺIʹm glad youʹre back.ʺ Then, with a wink, he said to Dimitri:

ʺLooking forward to our chat.ʺ

ʺRun,ʺ I said when they were gone. ʺIf you slip out now, maybe they wonʹt notice. Go back to Siberia.”

“Actually,” said Dimitri, “I’m pretty sure Abe would notice. Don’t worry, Roza. I’m not afraid. I’ll take whatever heat they give me over being with you. It’s worth it.”

Book Review: Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets j.k rowling

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title Harry potter and the chamber of secrets
author J.k rowling
publisher scholastic
releases date September 1st 2000
pages 341

summary -The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he’s packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart; a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom; and the unwanted attention of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone—or something—starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects . . . Harry Potter himself

Review –
Harry potter is excited for school to start but it goes off not so well he has to deal with a house elf telling him not to go back to hogwarts and stole his letters from Hermione and ron and now his uncle has locked him in but ron saves him and he’s back with the Wesley’s and they have some trouble getting back to school but then some strange stuff starts to happen people are getting petrified and the chamber of secrets has been open again harry finds a diary of someone from 50 years ago and the diary takes him 50 years back and the diary belongs to Tom riddle hagrid is taken to azkaban and dumbledore is taken away and when Hermione is petrified also and ginny is taken in the chamber Harry has to stop it but when he finds ginny he also finds out that Tom Riddle is Voldemort .

Book Review : Spirit bound Richelle Mead

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Title – Spirit Bound
Author Richelle Mead
Release date – May 18,2010
Publisher – penguin/ razorbill
pages – 489
summary -Salvation has its price.
The words stunned Adrian for a moment, but he kept going. “You’re lying. What you’re describing is impossible. There’s no way to save a Strigoi. When they’re gone, they’re gone. They’re dead. Undead. Forever.”

Robert’s next words weren’t directed at Adrian. They were spoken to me. “That which is dead doesn’t always stay dead….”

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It’s graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives outside of the Academy’s cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri. He’s out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won’t join him, he won’t rest until he’s silenced her…forever.

But Rose can’t forget what she learned on her journey—whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose’s prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what—and who—matters most to her. In the end, is true love really worth the price?

Book review – After the craziness of Blood promise we were wondering what was going to happen next after we found out Dimiri wasn’t killed by Rose and we now found out that there is sapose to be a way to save strigoi from not being strigoi anymore but there was only way of getting that info was releasing a criminal who was related to him Victor Dashkov. But Rose also has her trials that she passed but her dad showed up he was sitting next to her boyfriend Adrian Ivshkov who I so love them together and Lissa and Christian are still broken up blah that is so aggravating I don’t think I screamed more in a book ever espeshilly when rose was arrested for killing the queen oh we also found out that lissa has a half -brother or half -sister oh my freaking god this book was amazing can’t wait to read The last sacrifice the final book in the vampire academy series.

5 OUT OF 5 OF COURSE
