Winds of War by Herman Wouk. Not very climatic but it gives you wider perspective about the second world war. I highly recommend this for history-and-military fascinated readers

Dreamless by Josephine Angelini...the sequel to the Starcrossed series..the progress of the plot of the story is very slow . I am frustrated with Helen the female lead character...not the kickass heroine i would like her to be in this badass mythology premise of the story. She is depressing to read in the majority portion of this book. But still i enjoyed this a bit better than the first one.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith....a rather short and quick read. Not much romance going on here as the title might suggest but more of the female main character's journey to realization about love, family and new beginnings in a span of 24hrs. from America to London. It was a nice story, i just felt there could have been something more explored from the main characters, its based mostly on their shared conversations that at times have no chemistry and felt forced...so yeah it sounds awkward to me.

I've finished "Tell the Wolves I'm Home" by Carol Rifka Brunt. It's amazing!

My review for the book: http://cinderellaincombatboots.blogspot ... -home.html

The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna... i love it! i didn't expect to feel so much for Eva's character. She is an echo created by a Weaver to be raised almost like an exact replica of Amarra (the original)down to how she feels and who she loves ,until that person dies and she will take her place to continue it as it supposed to be if she have lived longer. I wish and i think there should be a sequel to this novel because there still many unanswered questions.

Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas...Sam Nolan's story of the Friday Harbour Series...it is a light romantic contemporary read with a bit of an element of magic. It is a charming story but will not be my most fave from this author.

Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry...YA Juvenile fiction...angst filled story in a highschool setting..i do like the premise of the story but most characters here are so cliche but it didn't take away the emotions that evoke from the main characters Echo and Noah.

Legend by Marie Lu...just met possibly the next future Mr. & Mrs. Smith...Day and June...hehehe.
YA Juvenile fiction with dark tones of death, violence and human brutality. The antagonists are a bit unpredictable and without remorse its scary sometimes. Over all i liked it but don't necessarily find it amazing. I can almost compare it to the likes of Divergent Series and The Hunger Games.
