Review: Flawless

Flawless (Pretty Little Liars #2) by Sara Shepard 

Published January 1st 2011 by HarperCollins (first published March 15th 2007)
Paperback, TV Tie-In Edition, 368 pages
Source: Bought at Bookdepository for $8.09



"Spencer stole her sister's boyfriend. Aria is brokenhearted over her English teacher. Emily likes her new friend Maya . . . as much more than a friend. Hanna's obsession with looking flawless is making her sick. And their most horrible secret yet is so scandalous that the truth would ruin them forever. And why shouldn't I tell? They deserve to lose it all. With every crumpled note, wicked IM, and vindictive text message I send, I'll be taking these pretty little liars down. Trust me, I've got enough dirt to bury them alive."
- From Goodreads

 



7/10





Another Pretty Little Liars novel I enjoyed. This is a series you should read when you are in a rut and need something light and entertaining to help you get back into reading.

The author makes you want to fight for these girls by screaming insults at A or anyone else that is hurting them, although you end up screaming at a book which will earn you some strange looks.

I don't know who A is - and I love that!!

Bring on more books and more clues!

Spoilers:

Sooo now I don't like Toby anymore, I wonder what is going to happen on the tv series if they are going to kill him off...

Review: Undead and Unwed

Undead and Unwed (Undead #1) by MaryJanice Davidson

Paperback, 288 pages

Goodreads Summary
 
"First Betsy Taylor loses her job, then she's killed in a car accident. But what really bites is that she can't seem to stay dead. And now her new friends have the ridiculous idea that Betsy is the prophesied vampire queen, and they want her help in overthrowing the most obnoxious power-hungry vampire in five centuries.

My Take (very mild spoilers):  

This was a very funny and light read! Imagine Betsy:













becoming a vampire, being dragged into vampire politics by Eric Sinclair:





 (couldn't resist putting this pic up)







to defeat a vampire likes this (Nostrodamus)




 (But with a cape)








Throw in humour, shoes, a financial backer and a new gay friend.

The only complaint I have is that Betsy is very bitchy (all fine) but hell she needs to take a breather sometimes and shut up lol.

Definitely something to read if you are in a reading rut and looking for something fun. I will be reading the next ones!

*Spoilers* (Drag over to highlight)

Betsy is a foretold Vampire Queen. She doesn't care about vampire politics but with enough persuasion Eric gets her to believe him and they set out to overthrow Nostro.

Favourite Quote:

The whole books is quotable! But I like the first line: “The day I died started out bad and got worse in a hurry.”
