Plague by Michael Grant

Plague (Gone, #4)Plague by Michael Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay first off: Diana's pregnant? Did she learn nothing in Sex Ed about birth control?

Second: Is Little Pete actually dead, or did he just go poof?

Third: Will they ever get out of the FAYZ?

So I'm a total idiot for not reading this book like a year ago when it actually came out. My parents had limited me to how many books I could buy. My friends always complain that I am not a normal human being, prefering the company of books rather than actual living people.

Eh, I think I may be in love with a few fictional characters. But hey? We all have our own imaginary friends. Mine are just inspired by various author's imaginations. I least I know that if I am ever locked in a padded cell I will never be lonely with my books. That's if I'm allowed them. If not I'll talk to my imaginary firends.

So this book was awesome, like all of the other ones before it. I finished it in two days flat. I've would've finished it in one, but unfortunately I'm required to go to this mandatory thing called 'school.' Oh, and you'd never guess what I have to do there. I actually have to learn. Not like I haven't tried hiding books in my textbooks or under the desk.

I can't say that I have ever read any books quite like these. They have all of the supernatural coolness like in X-Men, but the lovely teenagerness that comes with teenagers, and a heck of a lot of disturbing horror stuff.

I don't know if this book would be counted as a thriller or horror because I try to stay away from books like that. They just aren't my appetite when it comes to books. And I wouldn't call these books paranormal romance, which is what I usually like to read.

But I don't care what labels you put on these books. They are graphic, horrifying, disturbing in every way imaginable, creative, inspirational, totally awesome, and they make you think about what you would do if you were put into that situation.

So of course I love these books. :D

Blood on the MoonBlood on the Moon by Jennifer Knight
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

See the thing about being sick and stuck at home is that you through a lot of books. I had to order a whole new set because I've read every book in my house and I'm coughing my head off so I can't go to school. I don't like TV all that much so I resort to books.

This book happens to be pretty good, though without a doubt cliched. But thats okay, I like cliched books. Most of the books in my library are cliched vampire and werewolf nove...

Bloodrose (Nightshade, #3)Bloodrose by Andrea Cremer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think I should've read this book before 'Shatter Me' since I read it the day after... well, I guess I didn't appriciate it as much. I knew how it was going to end because I couldn't resist a peek at some of the other peoples reviews (very bad Kacii!).

I did really like, I kind of wished that Ren didn't die because of his sister and because Calla should've given him a fair chance. I really wished they'd had sex, but unfortunately genies only gr...

Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh.My.Freaking.Holy.Jesus.God. This has to be the best book I have ever read, and I've read quite a few books. This was so different than I expected it to be. It was amazing. Awesome. Epic. {through in uber-cool adjectives here}

I mean, I knew that I would probably like, especially considering it sounded a lot like X-Men and my favorite character in X-Men is Rogue. But this was a dystopian novel, and those I usually don't dig. But I truly loved...

Writing Workshops

January 14, 2012
    I don't know if anyone is reading this, or if I'm just humoring myself by having this blog for my followers to check up on my work and updates. Some people might think 'why bother?'
    Well I can't argue with your reasoning there, though I do hope that I'm not just writing to myself. Talk about a loner. And hopefully if you are reading this than I either wowed you with my writing or friended you with my charm. Maybe you just want to poke around my life and don't care about either.
    Well...

Illusions (Wings, #3)Illusions by Aprilynne Pike
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ohmyfreakingod. Okay, so most faerie books I read are good, and I like them well enough, but this is... I can't describe it, I'm at loss for words. I've always preferred fallen angel stories to most paranormal stories, but recently the tables have turned.

Now I like Draki (from Sophie Jordan's Firelight series), fallen angels (Lauren Kate's Fallen Saga), Guardians [aka werewolves (from Andrea Cremer's Nightshade trilogy)], the water horses[who ...

The Scorpio RacesThe Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read both the faerie books and the werewolf books by this author, and both are thrilling and a good read, but I think nothing compares to The Scorpio Races.

This book was original, so there was no precedent of what to expect in my mind. I think this is one of my favorite books of all time, even though I only recently finished it and I've only read it once.

When I first heard the story's plotline I didn't think it was a very int...

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In MG Harris's first installment of the Joshua Files series, 'Invisible City' sets off a good precedent.

The police report said that Josh's dad had been killed when his plane crashed, but Josh thinks otherwise.

About Me


Kacii What's to say? I love to read, write, cook, and eat hot sauce from the bottle. I spend most of my time traveling and either making up novel idea and occassionally writing them, or daydreaming about world where the impossible is reality. My mind is a huge multitasker, but it cannot handle mathmatics. I love mythology and have been brought up learning about other cultures myths and legends. The real world is a dull place to be, I'd rather live a fantasy. :D
