Review: Isn't She Lovely

Isn't She Lovely by Lauren Layne My rating: 4 of 5 stars short review: the last story i read from this series. I like Ethan, and i like Steph for all her Gothic style. The first time i read Broken, i thought i would not really interest to follow Ethan and i also thought that Ethan would not become hero on the different story.

The Redemption Series 3- Book Bundle: Isn't She Lovely, Broken, Crushed   by Lauren Layne My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, i read all the books in this series, and i enjoyed follow every story for each main characters. My my, they so lovely. If i make a rank, i think i will put Ethan story on the first place, follow by Michael, then Olivia. The three of them have a big problem as best friend forever, some of them betraying and less understanding each other. They finally separate and find their own way of redemption, even i know that the redemption only on Olivia and Michael side, that's way Ethan put on the prequel book. Anyway, I like the story enough to follow each of book. I though each character here was worth to follow, because they had the same and different heartbreaking and needed to move on. The way they moved was different for each character, but they had the same goal. Well, what i loved the most also maybe i could find the story of &#

Review: Beautiful Redemption

Beautiful Redemption by Jamie McGuire My rating: 5 of 5 stars I always love the story about second best as an heroin, because there she will struggle to make the hero make her as the first. Finish the book i love so much is not easy, because it means that i finish to read the story of couple i love the most. It also means that i still need more. And i need more conflicts of Liis and Thomas. I feeling a little sad right now, because i can't see their moment again, and i suddenly miss them. I usually read the book before i sleep at night. But this, i always tried to find a time to read this story. Only because i wanted to know every Liis's decisions when it was about Thomas. So, we knew Thomas since the previous book. About how heartbroken he was. Honestly, i read Beautiful Oblivion only wanted to know Thomas deeper. It was success to make me feeling so much heartbroken when he still had the feeling so deep toward his ex when there was

Review: Beautiful Oblivion

Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire My rating: 3 of 5 stars well, i'm not sure how to review this book. I knew that I would actually loved Trenton. But, i read endlessly beautiful first and knew what his story about. I had expected about what i would find when reading this book, and i knew that in a big part, i would not like it. That's right. Even if the story was cute enough, even if Trenton was charming as well, and this was a good book from the start, but i never could accept story about cheating. Okay, Cami was not cheating, she just had a friend that really close with her. It just hard to like the heroin... maybe because T.J was a good, or really good boyfriend. There was nothing wrong with him, but their relationship just could not work out. Cami was the one who felt different, especially after Trenton chase her. Then, she just... tried to pretend that Trenton only a friend when her heart saying the opposite. And all about the lying. Well, maybe ev

Review: Onyx

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout My rating: 5 of 5 stars Huaaa kalau ini aku nangis sih ya. Banyak sedihnya di akhir-akhir, apalagi waktu dua-duanya mengungkapkan perasaan mereka. Banyak hal sedih di cerita ini. Banyak kehilangan, dan banyak pengorbanan juga. Buku kedua bisa kubilang merupakan turning point. Tidak hanya hidup Kat berubah, tapi lingkungan sosialnya juga. Malah dulu yang dia benci-bencian sama Daemon malah jadian, sedangkan sahabatan sama Dee yang jadi alasan awal malah jadi bubar jalan. Trus memang, si Blake ini sama sekali nggak ketauan niat aslinya. Kat sama Daemon tetep so sweet sih, tapi si Blake memang cukup mengganggu. Di bagian klimaks, ketika Kat diserang di rumahnya, dan dia merasa bahwa Daemon kali itu benar-benar membencinya bikin miris. Secara Dee sudah benci sama dia, ditambah Daemon ya semakin sedih dong si Kat. Kasian banget, dia wajar merasa bersalah, karena faktanya memang mengarah ke dia semua, Wajar juga kalau kemu

Review: Obsidian

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout My rating: 5 of 5 stars Tentang benci yang jadi cinta... gitulah... Awal baca versi inggrisnya gak lanjut, karena nggak kena sama tokohnya di awal-awal. Tapi karena ratingnya bagus, jadi beli bukunya aja buat dibaca. Agak kesel kadang sama si Daemon. Aku bisa jadi Kat banget, rasanya pingin tonjok deh songong banget si Daemon gitu. Udah gitu suka nggak nganggep Kat lagi, kan kesel ya. Seringnya aku memang nggak begitu tertarik dengan premis benci jadi cinta. Tapi mungkin karena biasanya yang biasanya mencoba untuk membenci adalah heroinnya. Nah, disini kebalik. Daemon mencoba benci sama Kat, tapi lama-lama gagal juga. Kat sih, sebenernya nggak benci, tapi karena Daemon emang ngeselin Kat jadi ikut kesel. Paham sih aku, wajar juga kalau dia merasa begitu direndahkan dan tidak dihiraukan dan merasa paham. Tau tau.. Makannya, Kat bingung dong kalau tiba-tiba si Daemon berubah jadi baik dan lembut padahal biasanya kalo n

“Dilan memberi penggambaran lain dari sebuah penaklukan cinta & bagaimana indahnya cinta sederhana anak zaman dahulu.” @refaniris “Cuma satu yang kuinginkan, aku ingin cowok seperti Dilan.” @_SLovaFC “Dilan brengsek!

Review: Tangle of Need

Image
Adria, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with the past—one as unpredictable in love as it was in war. Now comes a new territory, and a devastating new complication: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to a desperate woman who belongs to another.  For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.  Their coming together is an inferno…and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that might just break them both.   Tangle of Need by Nalini Sing

Review: Forbidden

She is pretty and talented - sweet sixteen and never been kissed. He is seventeen; gorgeous and on the brink of a bright future. And now they have fallen in love. But... they are brother and sister. Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so completely—has also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a lov

Review: Dilan: Dia Adalah Dilanku Tahun 1990

Dilan: Dia Adalah Dilanku Tahun 1990 by Pidi Baiq My rating: 5 of 5 stars Novel ini bagiku cukup mengerikan... mengerikan kalau sosok Dilan ini beneran ada. Pasti dicari-cari. Dimana di dunia ini ada laki-laki semanis Dilan? Caranya bicara dan sikapnya bikin kita pingin bergelayutan dan nggak lepas-lepas. Bikin bulu kuduk berdiri, bikin berdebar-debar, juga pingin menangis bahagia.. Membaca novel ini, aku ikut jatuh cinta setengah mati dengan Dilan. Lagi-lagi, kupikir akan mengerikan kalau karakter semacam Dilan ini beneran ada.. soalnya aku juga mau satu.. dan semua pembaca pasti juga mau satu. Aku berharap ada kisah bahagia dari sisinya hingga akhir. Plis... Oya bicara tentang buku ini. Sederhana banget. Ih, beneran sederhana. Yang bikin nggak sederhana itu Dilannya. Bener deh. Ada alasan judulnya Dilan. Karena disini Dilan itu bagaikan sosok jarum dalam tumpukan jerami. Satu dari ribuan. Jarang banget. Jadi waktu baca

Review: Priceless

Image
Priceless by Linda Kage My rating: 5 of 5 stars Akhirnyaaaaaa... setelah bersabar dengan 8 buku seri ini, aku dapet lagi yang bisa diganti fullstar! Awalnya agak pesimis takut nggak begitu bagus ceritanya, karena ini tentang Sarah, yang aku terakhir lihat dia memang kayak nggak bisa apa-apa. Oh! But this story is about that vulnerable girl and about how insecure she is. Dan aku selalu jatuh hati dengan cerita semacam ini. Well, aku cuma butuh baca sekitar... yah... satu chapter pertama dan aku langsung merasa akan memberikan novel ini full stars! Syukurlah novel ini sama sekali nggak mengecewakan. Karena sampai terakhir pun novel ini nggak berhenti bikin aku pingin jejengkrakan. Bagus bangeeettt... Nyaris ngingetin aku sama frigid, seriously, tapi yang frigid masih ada kekurangannya, sedangkan ini.. ewww nggak nemu kurangnya. Bawaannya aja habis baca cuma pingin muji-muji doang. Titik.

Review: More Than Enough

Image
More Than Enough by Jay McLean My rating: 4 of 5 stars So finally i finish this series. Total ada 4 buku dan akhirnya selesai semua. Yay! Dan di akhir ini akhirnya aku nobatkan cerita Logan-Amanda still my most favorite one! Sedangkan untuk buku ini sendiri aku sempat agak pesimis akhirnya. Aku lagi tidak begitu tertarik baca cerita yang tokoh utamanya masih tenggelam dalam duka karena cinta yang sebelumnya. Apalagi disini awalnya aja cukup tragis, bayanginnya aja susah. Dylan bisa dibilang termasuk yang cukup mencuri perhatian di buku pertama. Soalnya dia diem banget, tapi kita bisa lihat dari perilakunya tentang apa yang dia pikirkan. Sifat posesifnya sama Heidi, dan hubungan mereka itu sendiri aku sempet berfikir kayaknya agak nggak mungkin kalau mereka pisah. Tapi setelah baca buku Logan trus Cam, aku jadi nggak terlalu berharap mereka balikan lagi sih. Heidi dan Dylan itu pacarannya udah nyaris bebarengan sama Lucy dan Cam. Tapi bagus juga

Review: More Than Him

More Than Him by Jay McLean My rating: 5 of 5 stars Baru sadar bahwa dari seri ini, buku kedua dan ketiga adalah sekuel, jadi aku review langsung dibuku kedua aja yaa.. Mau curhat dikit deh(yang gak mau baca skip paragraf ini). Belakangan ini banyak buku yang udah aku baca hampir setengah buku dan berhenti bacanya trus statusnya di GR aku ubah jadi 'pending'. Padahal buku-buku itu hitungannya udah rekomended banget, maksudnya: waktu aku baca reviewnya aja aku jadi pingin baca bukunya. Tapi sayang, name it: rock chick, Kulti, my life next door, trilogi gabriel inferno, semuanya punya rating buku di atas 4, dan temen2 GR lain juga banyak yang kasih bintang 5. So i think, why can't i feel good when read it? Bukan berarti aku merasa bahwa cerita-cerita di buku itu nggak bagus ya. Cuma belakangan karena terlalu banyak kesibukan dan hal yang bikin kepala ruwet, dan pilihan buku di santero dunia ini ada banyak banget, ditambah kesadaran kayaknya buku2 i

Review: Seduction and Snacks

Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book is hilarious. Seriously. I laugh too much because of this piece of book. I do searching for comedy romance book lately that can make me laugh so much. There are some really funny and and I happen to love this book! There are many things make this book worth to read and why this book is really funny. Single mom's issues was the first thing catch my interest to read this book. And it's not only because the heroin was a single mom. But the hero happened to be her Dad's Son. So I really wanted to figure how the story would became. Honesty, I couldn't put this book down before I really finished it. Every scene inside only brought me to read more. Every moments was interesting and hilarious that I couldn't stop reading it.

Review: Love and Lists

Love and Lists by Tara Sivec My rating: 4 of 5 stars Dari baca serinya si Claire aku emang udah jatuh cinta banget sama nih anak. Baca ini serasa harapan dikabulkan karena melihat Gavin besar. Dan itu berarti aku lihat dia waktu masih 4 tahun, 5 tahun, 9 tahun, 10 tahun... iya trus langsung loncat aja ke 25 tahun biar dia ada cerita sendiri gitu gedenya kayak gimana. Ya nggak? Sebenarnya aku masih kangen sama Gavin kecil. Yaampun dia itu lucu banget,, mulutnya tu lho nggak bisa diem, udah gitu celetukannya selalu bikin ketawa. Sekarang dia udah gede sih, udah pinter. Ehmm... sebenarnya aku lihat si Gavin kecil ada bayangin gedenya kayak gimana hehehe. Agak gak sesuai ekspektasi sih tapi ya ini udah imajinasinya si penulis oke aja sih. Soalnya aku kepikiran Gavin ini gedenya cool dan jenius gitu. Gatau deh kenapa mikir gitu, habis kecilnya dia bener2 unik banget, jadi agak berharap sama uniknya.

Review: Kiro's Emily

Image
Kiro's Emily by Abbi Glines My rating: 5 of 5 stars I didn't intended to read this book. Really. I had known how this story would be end, that there will no happy ending. I had catch a glimpse about Kiro and Emily in Harlow's story and it hurt so much. It hurt saw how her Dad adored her Mom so much when Emmy practically couldn't do anything. How she finally saw another side of her Dad, that was so sad when in whole book I annoyed with Kiro then he asked Harlow to follow and witness his only love for her Mom. Emmy was died outside and saw it and the way Kiro in front of Harlow's Mom was hurt so much. So when Harlow went to bathroom and cried because she never thought that Kiro was still in love in her Mom, i cried too. Even now when i remembered how sad that scene in Harlow's book i felt like i wanted to cry again. And here i just read the love Emmy had for Kiro. It made so much worse because I knew who was Emily, really known her, so

Review: Puddle Jumping

Puddle Jumping by Amber L. Johnson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Finally found another favorite book! OMG. I love this book. So. So. So much. Maybe i will read this book again. I have missed Colton and Lilly anyway. I don't know why I finally took this book (and i always have this kind of reason every time i read a good, perfect book for me), i just remember ever saw this book and passed it. Then i was searching list of comedy romance book, there was this book. I was searching about Aspergers and there was this book. I searched about unrequited love, and also about childhood love and always cought this book. I didn't have any idea about this book. My friends like this book so much, and this book have a good rating. That's enough reason for me to read this book right? So i read this book.

Review: Rule

Image
Rule by Jay Crownover My rating: 4 of 5 stars hmmm seru-seru.. berhubung aku suka sama cerita2 yang heroinnya bertepuk sebelah tangan jadi bagiku cerita inipun sama bagusnya dengan cerita cinta sebelah tangan lain yang pernah aku baca. Mana karakter Rule ini kan bad boy ya bertolak belakang sama Shaw. Ih, tapi aku sukaaa. Waktu dia akhirnya ngelihat Shaw dia bener-bener berubah, jadi lebih sweet lebih protektif dan lebih perhatian gitu. Kalo katanya Shaw si Rule ini kan dulu cuma nganggep Shaw suka ngintilin si Remy ya. Masalah di dalam cerita ini juga seru. Bagus sih ya aku suka ... ehm, ada tapinya sih. Mungkin akan lebih baik kalau diceritakan hari2 si Shaw cuma bisa melihat Rule dari jauh, yaa biar lebih kerasa gitu hurtnya dia cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan. Soalnya di awal cerita sampai sekitar 30 atau 40 persenan gitu aku masih nggak dapet sama karakternya. Si Shaw nggak terlihat vurnerable malah kelihatan cool di mata Rule. Trus Rule di awal jug

Review: Wallbanger

Wallbanger by Alice Clayton My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ceritanya lucu, dari awal udah diceritain konfliknya kayak apa dan emang bikin gedeg banget deh. Aku juga kalo jadi Caroline pasti kesel banget deh kalo tiap malem dengerin suara2 zina kayak gitu hahahhaha udah gitu sampe bikin dinding bergetar kan gimana gitu yakkk... Suka banget waktu akhirnya Caroline labrak si Simon langsung... Kyaa kyaa gitudeh pertemuan pertama mereka. Pertemua kedua okelah.. trus mereka genjatan senjata dan lama2 mereka jadi teman... Ceritanya kayak biasa lebih ke temen jadi pacar gitu sih, dan disini perkembangan hubungan mereka juga manis banget. Aduh si Simon juga ya kalo sama Caroline tu bikin deg-degan mulu. Dia nggak kayak yang Caroline pikirin dulu, Simon itu baiiiik xD
