Love & Luck

Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Do you know what I love about humans, pet? Its our dogged stupidity. When it comes to love we never learn. Ever. Even when we know the risks."

So, I don't know about you, but I learned this simple fact:
Irish four leaf clover= Faith+Luck+Love+Hope
mostly love though...

Last year, I read Love & Gelato by Welch. I really enjoyed journeying with Lina through the imaginary streets of Italy I created while reading the book. So, when I picked up Love & Luck, I thought that it would be similar to Lina's story, in a way. I was kind of surprised and happy that it was just another unique story. I mean tell me: where will you find a book which will act as your Lady guide while helping you mend your heart? Or, in this case, tear your heart apart to start a new chapter...

As you might know from the synopsis, Addie is visiting Ireland for aunt's third wedding? After the wedding, she is supposed to visit Italy with her brother, Ian. However, Ian has some other plans. I mean its no fun when things go as planned, right? Plus, Ian and Addie are not exactly in terms with each other because of Addie's past relationship with not so right guy. Enters Rowan, Ian's friend. Three of them go on a journey, which becomes life-changing, with there own bag of secrets.
I am happy to say that romance was not a big part of the story. It is quite subtle. Also, Lady guide with her crazy task is just amazing! Now, I just feel like catching the next flight to the Cliffs of Moher because Lady guide says Dublin should be the last stop...

Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Seek: The Strange Case Continues

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Seek: The Strange Case Continues by Anthony O'Neill My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks, Edelweiss for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. "The measure of man's unhappiness is the distance between where he is and where he aspires to be." I honestly don't know why I picked up this book. Probably because it was about Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. After reading this book, I feel like I want to read that classic book for the full experience. Firstly, I would like to say that I did not in any way expect the twist at the end. I started the book with a very low expectation. I thought it was going to be extremely boring, but it was the opposite of that. A good surprise, I suppose. Everyone knows about Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde or I hope everyone has at least heard about them. Well, yeah they are purely fictional, but that is the place where the fun starts. In this book, O'Neill writes extremely swif

Review: The Beholder

The Beholder by Anna Bright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Thank you HaperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. The Beholder is an equal mix of politics and romance intertwingled together just right. As I began the book, I questioned myself what this book would intel since the beginning seems so simplistic. It starts with the dilemma leading Selah to go around the continent to find the one. The plot is set based on so many fairy tales. I thought that it would be something cliche, but I loved the surprise that I got. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wonder what other books in the series will bring. I had never imagined that The Beholder was a ship, to be honest. The shock that I got at the end was predictable to some extent, however, the degree of it surprised me. I would recommend this book to some who like the mix of fairy tale, romance, and historical fiction. It is comparable to The Selection, but not quite making it a un

Review: Evermore

Evermore by Sara Holland My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks to HarperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. 3&1/2 star Oh boy. This book was a very fast read. I personally enjoyed this book, but it was somewhat boring. Plus, I thought that the plot was a little bit rushed creating holes. What I really mean is that I love the whole concept of the Alchemist and the Sorceress. It is definitely unique. As such, I feel as though Holland did not do justice to the book by ending everything so soon. There are books that end sooner than they should while others are stretched beyond purpose. This series is the former kind is all I am saying. In essence, I was satisfied with the ending. The writing quality is good as well. I would recommend this book to some who are just looking for a quick read. View all my reviews
