The World After? Or The END!?!?

World After By Susan Ee

The sequel to Angelfall is no letdown. Hauntingly real Susan Ee has a disturbingly creative imagination. It’s beyond captivating.
I sincerely wasn’t able to put this book down for one second!!! I didn’t want it to end and I hope she continues onto a third book so I can know what happens to Penryn’s sister and mother. I want to know if Raffe the angel and Penryn will go against the odds… against the rules… and end up with one another!!!
I was so drawn to Raffe… if he was real I would sooo be Penryn… That’s the great thing, Susan Ee makes you feel like you are these characters… that you’re the one in the World After where you worry about food, safety, angels, and demons.
The images Susan Ee has drawn echo through your mind hours later.
This is NOT a book for children or the weak of stomach. Between the violence and horrific images your mind will paint “viewer discretion is advised”. I’m so sad that it ended but there was NO way I could set it down.
It’s something you will want to reread again. It’s a MUST read if you don’t mind some thrills and chills…
KISS APPROVED!!!!

A Gift? Or A Waste?! Intangible by J Meyer

Intangible By J. Meyer
A novel of twins, a brother and a sister with special gifts. One a healer. The other a  Seer… sounds enticing right?! Well that’s at least what I had thought before reading it. However a slow  start and confusion in characters dampened my spirits. I wasn’t sure what to expect  but a mix of vampires and elves wasn’t really it.
In the beginning ot almost seemed underdeveloped and I wanted to put  it in the kids  section of the library in my head rather than the young adult. Now hold up before  you just sign this book off of your to read list... As I got further in the book it  seemed to suddenly flow better and the characters were a bit more believable.
Having Lilith the Queen of the Damned suddenly made sense to have her take part in it.I felt the book had switched gears and was finally on track with the vision. There  were still bits and pieces that didn’t add up with the characters or the storyline but i ended up wanting to know what was going to happen next. yes of couuurse…  after I’ve said I wanted to stay away from all these multiple book series it does have  a sequel haha
I would like to read it just to see what happens with the twins and  their gifted entourage. ;)
I will say in a  manner of hesitance it is kiss approved...I only hope book two is a bit more put together when I end up reading it.

To Give Up? Or Keep Going?! Is God Really In Control by Jerry Bridges

Is God Really In Control By Jerry Bridges

I think all of us regardless of our religion or what we do or do not believe in come across trying/devastating times and circumstances where we ask why.. how... times where we don't understand.... Sometimes we get to the point where all we want to do is throw in the towel and just give up.
Lately I had been in that exact position... I can't begin to explain the pain, the deceit, the pure confusion I've been treading through within the last few months...

I luckily have some amazing people in my life that have surrounded me in their love and concern and happiness... and even beyond that I have my faith.

I have God and I have thrown myself into this book and the word of God. and although it doesn't give me the why's... it doesn't give me the answers in to my problems or to everything, and it sure as hell hasn't taken away all the pain... but it has brought comfort.. peace.. love.

I enjoyed this book/devotional from beginning to end. Some of it reiterated things I already knew.. but there was quite a bit I didn't and a lot that I was able to take and learn from in its entirety.

It is a must read for those of us who cry out why and for those of us who have doubts from all the tragedies and personal adversities in this world and in our own lives.

I loved how Jerry pulled excerpts from other books and some highly known figures to back up these truths. And at the end of each chapter there are discussion questions. (For the most part I enjoyed them, it brought all I read home and I was able to reflect on each section.)

I sincerely look forward to reading more by him.
Kiss approved. :***** 5/5

A Date? Or A Disaster?!?!?! Drinking My Way Through 14 Dating Sites by Tiffany Peon

Tiffany Peon should probably write for a magazine. Her piece was hilarious and relatable. Her own story of trying to move on from a devastating breakup... we've all been there if we aren't already. That being said she makes it through and ends up reuniting with her ex but this is her short tale of it.
If you learn anything take it as this: Everything happens for a reason & sometimes it's to learn that no matter what... you're gonna be ok.
The book was a fast read and despite my lack of finding humor in anything at the moment (due in full to my personal life struggles) I couldn't help but at least smile.
The only downfall was at some points I wasn't quite sure where the part in the story fell whether it happened pre-reunite or not.
It's a fun read for those single and dating or just to get a good chuckle at another's expense of online dating.

A Sneak Peek? Or A Steal?!?!?! Intuition by J Meyers

-A bonus Intangible short story.
It wasn't anything that captivated my full attention from the get go but as it got close to the end it was a mystery I wanted to know how it'd be solved. So last night I bought the actual book, Intangible, so we will see exactly how this all goes!!!!

The End? Or Just Another Beginning!?!?

Cassandra Clare weaves an intricate tale from beginning to end....or maybe there's more to come? That's what I think anyway! ;) through the fourth

you are gripping the arm of your chair even more so than the first three...waiting..wondering...what will happen to the beloved characters.
When their stories started into separate sections and switched back and forth I wasn't a fan at all. All I cared to know was about Jace and Clary. Their story was first and foremost buuuut by book five

I wanted to know what was happening in each and every one of their complicated life stories. LOVE. TREACHERY. TRUTH. LIES. Painted dot by dot until we see the complete picture come together. I absolutely loved these books. As always she leaves room for discussion and opportunity to guess as to what's to come.
 I am excited to read the prequels but for the moment I'll move into something else for those of you who are ready for something new!!!

The Mortal Instruments 2&3 by Cassandra Clare

City Of Ashes

My Lord have mercy it only gets better!!!! The second book flew..... the dangers... the emotions. If it keeps on going she may be considered the Stephen King of the super natural world. It's captivating... enthralling... exquisite in capturing the struggles outside and within the characters.
If only I could crawl into the pages into the Shadowhunter realm. I would completely fall in love with a lycanthrope...vamp... or a shadowhunter. I don't think I'd want to come back to reality. ONTO THE THIRD!!!!
P.S. way to leave us hanging at the end of book 2!!!!

City of Glass

Sincerely entertaining and epically Earth shattering... The ever evolving world of the paranormal has come to a righteous stand where Cassandra should be standing proud and tall.

To find a book series so intoxicating is rare and should be cherished. With each book I move onto I get more and more nervous that it may not be as good as the one prior but I can proudly/happily say I have been more than satisfied. Always left wanting more! I don't want to give anything away but she threw such a curve ball.... I had to set the book down to yell with excitement, via facebook, to the coworker/friend who recommended this series.
