Greetings everyone! It's been a little over a week since the last review, and it feels like forever. I have a bunch of stuff for y'all today, and I hope you guys like it :) On with the reviews!
Dark Descendant is the first in the Nikki Glass series by Jenna Black. Goodreads says:
Nikki Glass can track down any man. But when her latest client turns out to be a true descendant of Hades, Nikki now discovers she can’t die. . . . Crazy as it sounds, Nikki’s manhunting skills are literally god-given. She’s a living, breathing descendant of Artemis who has stepped right into a trap set by the children of the gods. Nikki’s new “friends” include a descendant of Eros, who uses sex as a weapon; a descendant of Loki, whose tricks are no laughing matter; and a half-mad descendant of Kali who thinks she’s a spy. But most powerful of all are the Olympians, a rival clan of immortals seeking to destroy all Descendants who refuse to bow down to them. In the eternal battle of good god/bad god, Nikki would make a divine weapon. But if they think she’ll surrender without a fight, the gods must be crazy. . . .
Godsdammit! This book sounded awesome when I first read the summary. The premise reminded me a little bit of the Sabina Kane series, which is one of my all time favorite series. Then of course I read the book, and eeverything went down the drain. To be fair, it wasn't really the story that made me stop reading. No, it was the characters and the writing that prevented me from even forcing myself to continue reading this book. The story was ok, ableit it went very fast, shooting past my mind before I could play catch up. I just could not follow anything that was going on, and that is a baad thing. The story also felt poorly written, not always cohesively written.
Nikki was a horrible character! Just horrible. I despised her voice, because she just felt shallow and hollow. I could not connect with Nikki, and I felt like she was a stereotypical, overblown badass with hollow attitude and snark that did not feel genuine. The other characters were just as poorly written, themselves being overblown stereotypes with horrid personalities. No one felt real in any way shape or form.
Ms. Black's writing was absolutely bad in this book. She wrote the characters so so poorly, and her world building felt like utter shlock, that it frustrated me to the point where I almost chucked my Nook at my wall. I will give her another chance with her Fairiewalker series, HOPEFULLY that book will be much better than this shock of a book.
With all of that said, we are at the end of yet another list. I shall be putting up the next list in a few minutes.
Until next time, viva la literature!

Review #161: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter
Hey everyone! Hope y'all enjoy this review :)
The Goddess Test is the first in a series by Aimee Carter. Goodreads says:
It's always been just Kate and her mom—and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld—and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
Kate is sure he's crazy—until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.
At first, this book frustrated me. Something was just off, and I couldn't explain why. But as I continued reading, I really got into The Goddess Test. There was just something enjoyable about this book that made me smile. Plus I literally could not for the life of me predict any of the plot twists, and that in itself is amazing. I know there are a lot of issues with this book, but for some reason I just loved every second. With that said, I do have issues with this book. The slut shaming for example. Even though I admittedly was a bit annoyed at the behavior of the character who was slut-shamed, but I still was bothered that the shaming occurred. Also after the book was over, and I read the list of who was which God/Goddess in the manor, I was kind of perplexed at the villain. I won't go into details, but the God/Goddess the villain is supposed to be made no sense when it came to their reasons as to why they were the villain. I also didn't like Kate's personality all too terribly much.
Speaking of Kate, lets chat about our intrepid heroine. As I've said, I didn't like her personality too much. The problem was there was a lack of it. I felt like Kate was like so many other heroines from dozens of other YA novels. I also did not like that she really slut-shamed that unnamed character. I also didn't like some of her motives behind her choices. She also spent a lot of time in her own mind moping and over-analyzing everything, especially her relationship with Henry. Now we come to Henry, the romantic lead. He definitely fit the Brooding Hero archetype. He also had the formal cadence that remind me of a certain beloved vampire. He was ok at best, but I didn't really find him all that romantic. His brooding got in the way of him truly becoming a great character, and even though there were some sweet moments, I felt like the romance was one-sided on Kate's side. The other characters were okay at best.
The writing was surprisingly good. Ms. Carter's style is smooth and easy to read. While she did not do so well with her telling of Greek Mythology, she somehow cast a spell on me that made me fall in love with this book, despite all of my issues with it. That's a pretty damned good feat if you ask me.
Thing is I won't be reading the short in between novella or the second book, because I read some reviews by bloggers that I trust, and from the looks of it nothing improves in book two.
I'll next be reviewing Dark Descendant by Jenna Black.

Review #160: Oh. My. Gods by Tera Lynn Childs
Hello everyone! I hope you all enjoyed St. Patrick's Day :) Anyway, I have this review for y'all, hope you enjoy it :)
Oh. My. Gods is the first in a series by Tera Lynn Childs. Goodreads says:
When Phoebe’s mom returns from Greece with a new husband and plans to move to an island in the Aegean Sea, Phoebe’s well-plotted senior year becomes ancient history. Now, instead of enjoying a triumphant track season and planning for college with her best friends, Phoebe is trying to keep her head above water at the überexclusive Academy. If it isn’t hard enough being the new kid in school, Phoebe’s classmates are all descendants of the Greek gods! When you’re running against teammates with superpowers, dealing with a stepsister from Hades, and nursing a crush on a boy who is quite literally a god, the drama takes on mythic proportions!
I got this book when I first was getting into Tera Lynn Childs' work. I was excited because this book looked great when I first saw it, and looked like it was gearing up to be fantastic. Unfortunately the story went down after page one. Honestly, the story felt contrived immediately, with the quickie marriage completely unrealistic even under these circumstances. I couldn't follow anything that was going on, and everything happened waaay too quickly.
I'm sorry, but Phoebe was a horrible character. Her voice/POV bothered the hell out of me, and irritated me to the point where it made me quit reading. She is possibly one of the single most whiny characters I have ever read about. I swear, her whining knew no freaking bounds. I could not handle how her character was written. One of the worst things about it is that the character was written as knowing she was saying mean things to her mom and stepfather, yet she said them anyway, without apologizing. I just, I couldn't. The other characters were just not memorable, and Phoebe ruined this whole book for me.
I'm sorry Ms. Childs, but I won't be continuing this series. Thankfully I can't wait for your next Fins book :)

Bad Book Round-Up 3/13/12
*Sigh* I really, really, really did not want this to happen. I hoped against a wild hope that this post would not occur during this list. Unfortunately, those hopes were dashed. Without further ado, here are the books:
Pantheons by E.J. Dabel:
This book looked so awesome when I first saw it. It just seemed like it had such a great take on the Greek Gods, with some fresh style and a great story. The opposite ended up happening. I mostly thought that the main character of Isaiah was a crappy protagonist. It felt like he had such a massive superiority complex, didn't involve himself in the story, and just had a bad voice to read. I couldn't get into him as a character at all. All of the characters were stereotypes, which bothered the hell out of me. Everything just went south X_X
Nobody's Princess by Esther M. Friesner:
For a minute there I thought this book was going alright. But then I realized I didn't like Helen at all. She also had a superiority complex, although it was more subtle. I know why she was supposed to have one, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. Again, the characters were annoying stereotypes, the writing was leaning towards bad and it was all around not very enjoyable.
Helen of Troy by Tess Collins:
Yet again, I did not like the main character. I thought she was a b*tch, who was completely unlikeable and had no redeeming qualities. I also didn't like her husband Rudy. Again, the writing was bad. It didn't flow and felt hokey.
Well there ya have it folks, hopefully the rest of the list won't be like this xD

Review #159: Asphodel by Lauren Hammond
Asphodel is the first in the Underworld Trilogy by Lauren Hammond. Goodreads says:
Persephone has been running for her entire life. Running from the humans to keep her immortality a secret. And running from a man who haunts her dreams. Not a man but a god, who will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. And what he wants most, is her.
Trapped in the realm of the dead, Persephone plans to return to the land of the living. The underworld is a terrifying place where ghosts roam freely, three headed dogs patrol the gates, and it’s a living grave where the rules of earth and the warmth of the sun no longer apply. But then, something unexpected happens. Persephone finds herself falling for the god who abducted her, the god who has chased her for five thousand years, a god who is none other than death himself, Hades.
Ripped out of the underworld by Zeus, Persephone must find a pomegranate to return to the realm of the dead and to her beloved. Consuming only a seed of the fruit of the dead would bind Persephone to spend her life beneath the earth’s core with Hades. But Zeus has reduced every pomegranate tree in the world to ash. Except one. Persephone must locate that one remaining pomegranate tree, a quest that could ignite a war between the two mightiest of the god’s. A war that could cause Persephone to lose the only family she’s ever known or give up a love that comes only once every five thousand years.
Once again, this novel was not very good. I thought the premise was interesting, but that's about it. I wasn't really interested in anything, apart from some parts during Persephone's time in the Underworld, and the ending, the very ending. Apart from that, this novel had nothing that drew me in. I just kept turning the page (electronically), waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Sadly, that was not the case.
I thought Persephone was a whiny git. I mean come on, she's supposed to be over 5,000 years old! She just felt like a whiny teenager, and had almost nothing that indicated her age. I know that's not necessarily a bad thing, but honestly, you would never know how old she truly was if she didn't mention it, which it was mentioned constantly. Also her love with Hades felt a bit insta-loveish. Hades had no personality or substance. Come to think of it, none of the characters had substance. I wasn't connected to anyone at all.
The writing was pretty craptacular. It did nothing to draw me in, and the world wasn't fully developed.

Review #158: Destined by Jessie Harrell
Destined is by Jessie Harrell. Goodreads says:
When Psyche receives a prophecy gone horribly wrong, she learns that even the most beautiful girl in Greece can have a hideous future. Her fate? Fall in love with the one creature even the gods fear.
As she feels herself slipping closer into the arms of the prophecy, Psyche must choose between the terrifyingly tender touch she feels almost powerless to resist and the one constant she's come to expect out of life: you cannot escape what is destined.
This novel wasn't very good. I loved the premise, but mostly because I like the Psyche and Cupid myth. Apart from that, not much was terribly interesting, this was just mostly played out like a soap opera. Also I was perplexed at the characters speaking like modern people. I mean the story took place in ancient Greece, I'm sure the speech patterns were not exactly the same as they are today. I know, that's a small thing to nitpick about, but it really bothered me. If you are going to set your story in a different time, then please at least try to make the speech patterns at least similar to what they were supposed to be.
Psyche was ok. She was your typical spunky, determined heroine whom shocked almost everyone around her with her fiestyness (sp?). I did like her a bit near the end, but that was about it. Come to think of it, all of these characters were pretty stereotypical. There was no true growth, and there was almost no original personality in anyone.
The writing was decent at best. Like I said, I'm really peeved that Ms. Harrell used modern speech patterns with the characters. Admittedly, I did like how she built her world. That was probably the only thing I truly liked about this novel.
I'll next be reviewing Asphodel by Lauren Hammond.

Review #157: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
The Lightning Thief is the first book in the blockbuster Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Goodreads says:
After getting expelled from yet another school for yet another clash with mythological monsters only he can see, twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is taken to Camp Half-Blood, where he finally learns the truth about his unique abilities: He is a demigod, half human, half immortal. Even more stunning: His father is the Greek god Poseidon, ruler of the sea, making Percy one of the most powerful demigods alive. There's little time to process this news. All too soon, a cryptic prophecy from the Oracle sends Percy on his first quest, a mission to the Underworld to prevent a war among the gods of Olympus.
This is my third time re-reading this, and it is still awesome! I loved every single solitary minute of this book. It is action packed, the dialogue is wonderful and well written, and the characters are also very well written with some excellent growth and development. The story is excellent, and I loved Riordan's take on the Greek Gods. Every second is able to suck you in, from the very first sentence you want to know what happened, refusing to leave the book for a mere second. I loved the quest Percy and his friends went on, I loved the interactions with the Gods, just every thing about The Lightning Thief if bleeping amazing.
Percy is possibly one of my all time favorite characters. His voice is pure awesome and I was rooting for him the instant I read the first chapter. He is sweet, smart, funny, and all around wonderful. I know he's 12 in this book, but he is still fabulous. I was rooting for him to find the bolt and rescue his mom. Plus, his relationship with his mom is super sweet. It kind of reminds me of my relationship with my mom, because we're also super close. I also loved his relationship with Annabeth. You can really see their relationship develop from the beginning to the end. Annabeth on her own was fantastic. She was witty, sharp, and could go wit for wit with Percy. I also felt for her due to her past, which broke my heart. She is one of the best female characters I have ever read, and I can definitely liken her to Hermione from Harry Potter. Grover was also fabulous. He was hilarious, making me giggle at times, and I loved it every time Riordan talked about his satyr self. His friendship with Percy is great, and you can really tell they care for each other and would do anything for each other. I adored when they were cracking jokes and went back and forth. Other characters such as Chiron were excellent. Every single character, no matter how much time they had in the book, shone. From Ares to Medusa, you are invested in every single character and enjoy it when you discover someone new.
Damn, Mr. Riordan is freaking talented. He literally hooks you in from the first page, and doesn't let go until you are finished reading at 4 in the morning. If this is my third time reading this and I'm still this enthralled, you know this book is genius, which it is. He build his world fantastically, making his version of the Gods stand out very well. I honestly love his writing style, which is smooth and brilliant.
