A Dog's Purpose

I am so so sorry I haven't blogged in so long, but I've been super busy in school lately, and just haven't had the time. Recently, I decided to get the book "A Dog's Purpose" by W. Bruce Cameron, and, It. Was. AMAZZZING! It's about this dog, who goes through multiple lives, trying to figure out his purpose in each one of them. He starts out as a stray puppy who gets picked up by some people who just own stray dogs, but he gets put down after getting in a fight with a huge, vicious dog who also lived with those people. Next, he's reborn in a puppy mill, where he escapes and gets picked up by this dude who leaves him in his truck, where he almost dies. It's here that he's found by Ethan, who is his master for a long time before he dies of old age. Then he's a police dog, and he's a girl in that life. As a police dog, she saves someone from a radioactive spill, and loses her sense of smell, and is forced to retire. She lives the rest of her life with the police officer she worked with, before again dying of old age. Then he's reborn as a puppy in someones home, and is kind of sad, because he doesn't know what he has left to do, but he's eventually adopted, then neglected, before being left to doe on a farm, where he finds Ethan, who is old. Then Ethan dies of old age, and the book ends there. I would overall give this book 10 out of 10 cucumbers. It's AMAZING, and I would highly reccomend it.

Void (Hex, Shadows, Ghosts)

I just FINALLY finished this book after 6 months of on and off reading it, and it is actually 3 books in one, so you could read them individually, but I stumbled upon the book with all 3 in it, Void. It is so good, with only a few boring parts, and LOTS of action. It is about a girl named Raven who is a Hex, a mutant human who can control internet devices and modify technology just by touching them. She is being hunted by the CPS, the government, because hexes are illegal in future London. When she gets out of control and starts a terrorist group, she becomes illegal, along with her brother Wraith, and fellow hexes Ali, Luciel, and Rachel (who is her sister.) But she is also being chased by an insane guy named Dr. Kalden who wants to experiment on her to figure out how the hex powers work. It is really thought-provoking, action-packed, and kind of intense, but really good. I really enjoyed it and would rate it 9.5 out of 10 cucumbers.

The Fixer

I just read this book, and it was really good. It's about a girl named Tess, who's Grandfather is sick and going slowly insane. Suddenly her older sister appears after 5 years of never hearing from her, and takes her home to Washington D.C. where she learns that her sister, Ivy, is a "Fixer," someone who makes problems "dissapear," along with her driver Bodie and her friend Adam. Tess goes to a new school where the children of famous people go, where she meets Vivvy, the daughter of the White House doctor, and Asher. When Vivvy lets Tess in on her suspicions that her father killed Justice Marquette, the grandfather of Henry, another boy at their school, and things basically spiral into chaos, involving murder, kidnapping, bombs, newspaper articles and more. I would recommend this book who like dark, action packed books, and are okay reading about death/murder. I would give this book 7 out of 10 cucumbers.

Sorry for no posts lately!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately! I have been reading a really long book that I will review when I finish. (hopefully soon!)  I will also be participating in the 24 in 48 challenge, a challenge in which book lovers all over the U.S. will read for 24 out of 48 hours on July 23-24th. I'm really exited for it and I challenge all of you guys who love reading to challenge yourselves and attempt this challenge! I will get back to reviewing soon!

The Trials of Apollo

I just finished this book last week and I loved it! It has all the charm as the Percy Jackson books and had me captivated. It is about Apollo, after the war with Gaea and the giants, who has been turned mortal by Zeus because of Octavian. He gets sentenced to serve an annoying little girl named Meg, and sent to Camp Half-Blood. There, he gets put into the Apollo cabin, or, as he calls it, "the Me Cabin," and develops a relationship with his children. Then campers start to dissapear and it's up to Apollo and Meg to save them. It turns out there is an ancient oracle in the woods which may be the camp's only source of prophecy that is not blocked by Python and "the Beast" Emperor Nero. It is super good. I would reccomend it for anyone who likes the Percy Jackson books, or the Kane Chronicles. I would rate it 9 out of 10 cucumbers.

Hexed

This book is the first in a series, and isn't the best thing I've ever read but was pretty good and I want to read the sequel. It is about a high school girl named Indigo, or Indy, who is super popular, second only to her best friend Bianca, or who she thought was her best friend. She has a good life, she's on the cheerleading squad, she has the coolest guy in school as her boyfriend, she is pretty much perfect. She is pestered by her next-door neighbor, Paige to be friends. But then one day, she sees a guy die right before her eyes, and her whole life changes. She gets hunted by an organization of sorcerors called the Priory, she finds out that she is a witch, and she meets a wicked hot warlock named Bishop. They go on a quest to try and find her moms bible, which turns out to be a witch hunter's bible which her family has sworn to protect, she becomes best friends with Paige. It is pretty good, and has lots of action, but there is some boring parts. I would reccomend for people who like thought-provoking books with lots of thinking but also has action. Probably would be fine for people who don't like violence. I would rate it 5 out of 10 cucumbers.

Gone

 I just finished the first book in the Gone series and it is so good! It is thought provoking, dark, and action-packed. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down! Literally. My friends had to take it from me. It is about if all the adults disappeared. It takes place in Perdito Beach, nicknamed Fallout Alley because of the nuclear power plant accident a while back. It follows Sam, a 14 year old boy, Quinn, his best friend, Astrid, his crush, and Caine, a power hungry boy from the snotty school Coates Academy. First every one over the age of 14 disappears, leaving stoves on and babies in houses alone. Then the bullies take over. They kill people if they break the rules, they eat all the good food. And the biggest bully of them all is Caine. Then the teens start to develop powers. Teleporting, fire, super spped or strength, anything. And when they turn 15, they poof too. It is a new world in which you either fight, join the bullies, join Sam, or die. I would reccomend to people who like drama, action, and dark plots. I would rate it 9 out of 10 cucumbers.
