Need by Carrie Jones

This is another Twilightish book. Yes I am officially addicted to young adult fiction novels in which i get to be in high school again and in love with super dreamy guys that actually know i exist. Its a win/win.

Alright. I enjoyed Need. Mostly. First I want to say that Jones writes like we (or me anyway) think. I really enjoyed that. As for the actual story it was pretty good.

The main character, Zara, has more than a weird name, she also has a super creepy guy following her around. This dude keeps popping up and disappearing. For some unknown reason Zara feels the need (hehe) to find out what he wants. Well guess what, its her. Yep super creepy dude wants Zara for something that which we don't figure out until the end. And super handsome dreamy guy is going to protect her from him. Only he's not so good at protecting.

Anyway, its a good story and an easy read. Caution though....you reach a point in the book when you really have to "believe" in some really out there stuff. By out there I mean just go with it and remember you're reading a young adult novel.

Ok, Need...  hmmm.... did I like this book??? Yes.  I did.  But I must tell you that when I was done, I actually laughed.  The intense, "scary" parts were actually comical if you think about it!  It goes from weird to weirder really quick.  No one is who they pretend to be, the whole darn town is mythical creatures.  And odd ones at that. (Pixies, anyone? and not Tinkerbell!)

But why do we read fiction books anyway?  To escape reality for just a bit in our imaginations.  So this one definitely afforded us that luxury.  You are nowhere near reality!  It didnt take long at all to read and was fun while it lasted.  

Evermore by Alyson Noel

Yes We know we have been falling behind on our posts but at least we are still reading books.

Evermore attracted me because its a story that reminds me of Twilight and I love anything Twilightish. The big main difference is in Twilight we fall in love with Edward right along with Bella and in Evermore I just found myself being creeped out by the main guy. Sure he's dreamy but also super secretive and weird. and not in a good way.

So Evermore is about a girl with a dark secret (aka her family died in a car wreck and now she doesn't like to touch people). Some super hot guy shows up and she has a real connection with him. Only like I said the connection turns creepy and the reader is left with a LOT of questions about the guy. Did I say a lot cause seriously the whole story has major info missing?!

Anyway, by the time the story ended I didn't feel any better about the missing info. And unlike Twilight's vampires, Damen just turns out to be weird. By weird I mean I never really understood what the heck he was.

So if you like stories where the reader is left guessing the whole entire book then I recommend this one. However if you perfer to read a story that answers your questions at some particular point then don't read this novel because you will then be stuck like me waiting for the sequel in hopes it comes with some effing answers.

Hi!  Its me, Gina!

This story did weird things to me.  While I was reading it, I was really enjoying it.  But when it came time to turn the last page... I was left confused and wanting answers!  I liked what she wrote, but she didnt fill in all the blanks for me.  I was glad to have Kandis to talk to about it, because we had alot of the same questions.  

Ever (the main female character) also didnt get alot of her questions answered.  She would ask Damen and he would sidestep the answer and give a cryptic one and she ACCEPTED that!  What?  No, dangit, you are giving me some answers if we are talking about forever and my life!  Hello?

And yes, maybe it is all saved up for the sequel... which I am sure I will read.
