It was interesting but, not mind blowing. Experience the entire breathtaking love story with this perfect gift for new and longtime fans alike.
It's here! Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, The Twilight Saga capture the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. But until now, fans have heard only Bella's side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward's version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. This unforgettable tale as told through Edward's eyes takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire.
And in their own midst, a battle is brewing for supremacy, for dominance, that can and will affect all around them. Old hatred never dies and vengeance is a fiery sword that cuts a bloody swath.
Breathless is the first book in the Blue Fire Saga, a paranormal romance series set at a small college in present day Connecticut. There are currently five books in the series Breathless, Deathless, Helpless, Fearless and Heartless. Weston College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires since she was three years old. That's when her mom started acting weird, insisting sunlight hurt her skin because she'd been bitten by a one-fanged vampire.
But fascinated doesn't mean Leesa believes. Any more than she believes in blue fire, people who live for centuries, and kisses that can kill. But when her beloved older brother suddenly disappears, she is forced to consider all these and more.
She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. It's up to you It's the equivalent of peanut-allergy-kid nibbling on a reese's PB cup every couple of weeks too see what would happen.
Throughout this book, this girl makes one dumb decision after another - it's like There's barely anything done to keep her safe. Technically, there's an airlock and a no-touching rule but Edgy, Angsty Hottie still touches so much of the house and the Overbearing Mother who's a DOCTOR seems to disregard even the most basic decontamination rules I know that the illness is supposed to be second to the romance but to use such a serious illness as a YA plot device?
The least you can do is make it realistic. The Cop-Out Ending - I read this much story It was all a lie the entire time! She was never sick! Thank goodness because now the star-crossed lovers can be together. There's more.
By bubbling this child, she really does have a version of the disease. It feels like the author was always angling for this and never intended to have a real ending for the characters. Enjoyable audio quality at least! Emma Giordano. Unfortunately, I was a little let down by Everything Everything. I have heard people raving about it since , I've been dying to read it since I can't exactly tell if it was just overhyped by others and myself or if the book just all around was not the best for me.
The overarching positive thing I have to say about this book is that it was entertaining. It was addicting and amusing, and it was an enjoyable read. Biracial characters don't always get their own stories in YA, so I was glad to see some positive representation on this front. I also really liked Olly and Maddie together.
I thought they complimented each other well. Olly was always looking out for Maddie's best interests and was respectful and attentive to her needs.
These are the types of love interests we need in YA and I was happy to see them together. That being said, I was irked by quite a lot of this book. Firstly, I felt there was way too much of a focus on romance being Maddie's drive to "truly live. Unfortunately, I felt at a lot of time, that individual desire was overshadowed by a desire for love. There are so many points in this book where Maddie relays to Oly that she "never would have gone outside if it wasn't for him", "wanted Olly to have a girlfriend who could do the same things as him" etc.
I felt that there was too much of a focus on the presence of Olly shaping Maddie's decisions, and at times her personal discovery was overshadowed by her love for him. I left this book, not with the message that you should live your life to the fullest, but that Maddie was okay with sacrificing her personal health for love, and that's something I'm vehemently against. Had there been a focus on Maddie accepting she made risky decisions for Olly and that she had a new-found desire to make those decisions for herself only, I would have been more okay with it.
But whatever efforts were made to squash the idea that "putting yourself at risk is romantic" were not strong enough for me to condone those actions. This section technically constitutes as "spoilers" so I'll hide it, but if you've seen the trailer or know what decisions of Maddie's that I'm talking about, you won't be spoiled. I was somewhat appalled at how little Maddie seemed concerned for her health when she was outside and went to Hawaii?? But I was truly in shock that Maddie did not often make enough comments, even to herself, about the impending risk of getting ill and dying?
This girl has spent her entire life being told she has a high probability of dying if she goes outside. Yet she is in an entirely new environment, swimming in the ocean, in contact with people she has never met, eating new foods, wearing new textiles.
It honestly took away a huge chunk of the authenticity of the story and felt entirely unrealistic in my opinion, but again, I have no experience with this matter, so maybe my perception is skewed and Maddie had fully reasonable reactions to her new experiences.
Now we get to the issues with representation and research regarding SCID, which I'm not qualified to talk about, but feel it's important to address regardless. I read a review from Disability in Kidlit which wonderfully expressing why this book is harmful to people with disabilities.
