Sky Ghosts: The night before ~ review

Format: Ebook (.mobi)
Size: 2000 KB
Publication date: 03 Aug 2016
Language: English
Publisher: Amazon


For centuries, Sky Ghosts have been hiding their differences from humans, living among them in secret. Their powers, skills, and the gift of flight turned them into the best protectors the human elite could ever have. But for every one of them who believes in fair work and duty, there are ten more who use their power to prey on the weak and avoid justice. They're called Sky Beasts, and the war between them and the New York Sky Ghosts Headquarters has reached a fevered pitch.

Patricia aka Pain is known as the “kill first, ask questions later” kind of girl. An urban legend at twenty-one, she helps to secure the Headquarters’ future in her own way - by slaughtering Beasts in between working bodyguard jobs. When a certain gang leader resurfaces on the gloomy Brooklyn outskirts, she makes a plan, which includes her big sword, her best friend, and good old improvisation.
There’s only one minor detail - it all sounds too good to not be a trap.




Yet again this book was sent to me for an honest review, but you can still get it for free on Amazon and boy should you do it! This book is just a something I would call a Prologue to the Sky Ghost series, but despite it shortness it isn't lacking anything any other books have.

It was stunning, it was funny with the all present humor of the characters which won't disappoint you ever. I had hard time to keep the grin of my face while reading the short story in public. Also the storytelling was great and I have to say I put down another book I have been reading just to finish this one because it was so much captivating, much appreciated page-turner.

The descriptions and dialogues didn't lack a thing and were every bit hilarious. I know I'm repeating myself but there are no other words I would say about this book. Maybe the rollercoaster of emotions especially my concern over one specific character (you know which one, Engellmann!!! I still didn't get over it >.<)

Anyway, I would recommend this book to kids, although I'm not sure if there was any foul language used, would have to check. But go read it if you haven't, it's so much worth it. Besides it's FREE guys PREVIEW ;)

School of Deaths ~ review

Format: Ebook (.mobi)
Size: 896 KB
Publication date: 14 May 2015
Language: English
Publisher: MuseItYA


Thirteen-year-old Suzie Sarnio always believed the Grim Reaper was a fairy tale image of a skeleton with a scythe. Now, forced to enter the College of Deaths, she finds herself training to bring souls from the Living World to the Hereafter. The task is demanding enough, but as the only female in the all-male College, she quickly becomes a target. Attacked by both classmates and strangers, Suzie is alone in a world where even her teachers want her to fail. 
Caught in the middle of a plot to overthrow the World of Deaths, Suzie must uncover the reason she’s been brought there: the first female Death in a million years.




I've noticed that I've read this book a while ago, in March to be precise, and I have few good excuses for that:
First it was really not that interesting book to read,
secondly I had finals to prepare for ~ so yeah.....

I found this book to be very simlar to Harry Potter. The character was just sucked up into the supernatural world and I found it a bit fast paced.  Suzie is kind of forced to do stuff and that might have been the reason why it had taken me so long to get through it. She seems  without any flaw,s, maybe if she was scared of fire or something it might have been a slightly more believable character...Or maybe I'm just not sure about this, becuase I haven't really noticed.

I didn't feel like I was immersed into the story, no real connection with the character, which I was lacking. I tend to live in the situation with the chacters and this book didn't give me the feeling of acomplishment when she indeed defeated the antagonist in this book.

Yet the descriptions of nature and the actual world had depth I have to admit that. There was lore, many other different kinsd of supernatural beings with their own customs and it added to the diversity and made the story a tad more interesting to read.

The guardian, a sword and stilettos ~ review

Zoe Jabril could be just another 17-year-old girl attending parties with her friends and checking out cute guys—except her best friend is a Guardian Angel, and the boy she crushes on is a Nephilim, half-angel, both sent to Earth to protect her. A high school classmate happens to be a trendsetting shopaholic fairy. And now there’s a new werewolf in town.

Zoe has to deal with her feelings toward Shay, who spreads a strange electrical current through her body every time he touches her. Now Zoe is under constant attack from demons, trying to kill and stop her from fulfilling the Prophecy: a girl will be born who will unite the Enlightens to battle evil. Then on top of that, between boring homework and drama with girls at school, she has to control new found talents if she’s to prevent the devil from escaping Hell.

In order to do so, Zoe must devise a kick-ass plan ASAP or watch everyone die, because she’s running out of time. She turns eighteen in two months—the date Armageddon kicks off.


I should start saying that this was sent to me as a kind of ARC. From author yet again and from start as I saw the synopsis I knew I would love it. Because honestly, angels and demons? That's my thing, even all the supernatural!!!
It was yet again a book with first person POV, but hell, I think I'm starting to like these kind of books. I didn't mind it at all and it didn't even feel weird for me. I fell in love with it instantly. The story is fluid, continuous. Easy to read with not so complicated sentences. Oh! I have to say that the first few chapters got my attention completely. Couldn't put it down...(resulted in almost my Kindle being taken by my Maths teacher...BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!)

The characters are cute and the way Zoe and Shay fell in love, step by step. Gorgeous! Need more fluff in this world! The development of the main character - Zoe- was clear, getting to accept the ordeal she was born into. I fell in love with Shay as well. I have no idea if the authors purpose was to fall in love with the book or any other characters, but it definitely worked on me! I even felt pity for the poor Kieran.
The world that was created and explained was flawless. Now when I come to think of it...was there anything I didn't like? Oh..yes. HOW DID IT END WITH SHAY  AND ZOE???!! I have to know! I just have to, my life isn't full if I don't know.
