Heart on a Chain REVIEW

Heart on a ChainBy Cindy C. Bennett
Pages: 322

17-year-old Kate has lived her whole life in abject poverty, with an alcoholic father and drug-addicted mother, who severely abuses Kate. At school, her second-hand clothing marks her as a target. Her refusal to stand up for herself makes her the recipient of her classmates taunts and bullying. That is, until Henry returns. 

Henry Jamison moved away six years earlier, just as he and Kate had begun to develop feelings for one another. He returns to find the bright, funny, outgoing girl he had known now timidly hiding in corners, barely speaking to anyone around her, suspicious of even him. 

Kate can't figure out what game Henry is playing with her - for surely it is a game. What else would the gorgeous, popular boy from her past want with her? 

Kate finally decides to trust Henry's intentions, opening her heart to him. Just when it seems he might be genuine in his friendship, tragedy strikes, threatening everything Kate has worked so hard to gain. Can Henry help her to overcome this new devastation, or will it tear them apart forever?

so. bad.

This book shows you that you can't do anything unless a guy gives it to you, as a girl you are just mentally unstable, nope, never trust your mind to take a single good decision and everything that happens to you in life is just so weird and you deserve none of it. Yep.

WHAT THE FUCK.

NO.

I hate it when authors write boring and weak characters. She had a crappy home life. I'd rather see her grow strong and conquer it than hide behind a guy.

Most of the things that happened in this book had be on the verge of turning all Teen Wolf mad, but I'm no wolf so I never turned.

Bully REVIEW (Fall away #1) REVIEW +

Bully (Fall Away, #1)By Penelope Douglas
Pages: 290

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all.

We're neighbors, and once, we were best friends. But then, one summer, he turned on me and has made it his mission to screw up my life at every opportunity. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to hide from him. I worried about what was around every corner and behind every door. 

So I left.

I spent a year studying abroad and bathed in the freedom of life without Jared. Now I'm back to finish up high school and get the hell out of here forever. I'm hoping that after a year of breathing room, he's moved on and forgotten all about me. 

But even if he hasn't changed, I have. I'm not interested in avoiding him or turning the other cheek anymore. We're going to go head to head, because neither of us wants to back down

By the freaking angel what a irritating main character!!!!
I can't even remember her name for all the money in the world,  ugh I hated her a bit more every time I turned a page.
This book is called Bully.
Bully is when someone makes your life a living hell, you are scared of what this person's next move will be.
People don't fall in love with their bully, they are not supposed to see all the things the bully did not do. Like "he never touched me"
What the f?
Are you serious? Tell me you are kidding PLEASE .
*SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS BOOK, HOWEVER I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOOK*
And then we have her "friend" K.C
Correct me if im wrong, but shouldn't friends be on your side?
Should friends go and hook up with the guy who have made your life a hell?
Jesus, Bullying is a serious thing, it's a heavy subject a lot of people go through and in my opinion this book handles the whole thing in such a ignorant way. I've been bullied and it felt like the book was laughing up my face. Like being bullied is not that bad. Bullshit.
I read 150 pages, but could not finish it.
I am utterly, truly disappointed.
1/5

UPDATE
I wrote this review yesterday and checked goodreads to get the synopsis. This book has 4,25/5 on GR.
And people keep talking about the end. 
As much as I hate this book im thinking, maybe I should finish it. If I ever do and change my opinion I'll write another review. 
until then

Wait for You (Wait for You #1) +

Wait for You (Wait for You, #1)
By Jennifer L. Armentrout
ebook332 pages

Published February 26th 2013 by J. Lynn (first published February 25th 2013)


Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

I have no idea what it was with this freaking book but I just could not put it down. It was downright impossible! I am very strict when it comes to my sleeping schedule, I NEVER read after 10. If I do the book is dam addicting. 
And this book was. I stayed up to midnight without even noticing, the story Armentrout can tell, and the WAY she lures you in with her characters, and words, it's addicting! It becomes oxygen. I woke up really early to start where I left off and finished the book a couple of hours ago.

You get mesmerized by the way their relationship grows, there is no insta-love, Jen builds up these characters a bit every time, and make them quite uniqe, especially Avery. 
My heart would seriously ache at times for these two, because that is what this author does best - she makes you feel.

i give this book a strong 4/5!
