Book Review for Starters by Lissa Price

Starters by Lissa Price
Release date: March 13, 2012
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Pages: 336

Summary: Callie's world has been flipped upside down, when everyone between the ages of twenty- sixty is whipped out because of the Spore Wars; including Callie's parents. Now Callie and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run with their friend Michael to hide from the renegades who would kill them for nothing. Callie see's that her only hope will be to go to Prime Destinations which is where you rent out your body to the enders and is run by a mysterious man, The Old Man.

   The Old Man helps the enders to fell young and free again, in a teenage body. Callie, who is desperate for the money, which will keep her, Michael and sick little Tyler alive. Only, when the workers for Prime Destinations insterts a neurochip into Callie's head for renting, things go terribly wrong and ends up in her renters body.

    Now with the perfect life, living in a mansion, driving her own cars and dating the senator's grandson, it feels like her life is perfect but when Callie dicovers that her renter wants to do more then party and Prime Destinations plans are more evil then Callie thought. Can Callie go back? Or will she be stuck in this body forever? With Prime Destinations growing stronger and more evil by the minute, will Calie be able to stop them?

Thoughts: While, first off, Starters is one of those books that you go, "Oh that sounds really good!" Only you don't get to reading it for a while, but when you do you just can NOT put this book down. Literally, I think I was up all night reading this one and if you haven't read it yet. Go right now and pick it up! You won't regret it.

   The aspect that I love about this book the most is probably the whole dystopian aspect and how Lissa Price through in this romance between the protagonist and the main male. I didn’t know how that Ms. Price was going to enthrall the romance into the book but she did. Another thing that I loved was the whole plot line. How do you come up with this stuff?

     When I read the first chapter of starters, I was enthralled in all the action, adventure and drama rapped into one. Also the way that Lissa Price writes so delicately and gets you all wrapped up into the story of Callie and her brother and all of the people wrapped up into the story. I felt so bad for Callie and her brother having everything ripped out from underneath them.  I felt so bad for them and what they have gone through.

     My favourite character in this book was probably the protagonist, Callie. She is such a strong, brave and beautiful inside and out character. Also, The Old Man has completely thrown so many surprises out towards the end of the book and I have to say, total OMG moments in there. The huge secrets have left he hanging and wanting so, so much more.
     I can`t wait for the sequel, Enders and would rate Starters a juicy, 5 out of 5 star! Great Job Lissa and I can`t wait for the next book.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Recommended for people who like:  Drama, Mystery, Romance, Action, Adventure and Dystopian novels.

Book Review for The Calling by Kelley Armstrong

The Calling by Kelley Armstrong

Release date: April 10, 2012

Publisher: HarperCollins

Pages: 326

Summary: Maya and her friends, all of which have supernatural powers, are kidnapped and fleeing their home island because of a forest fire and after a terrifying helicopter crash, they find themselves stranded on an Vancouver Island in the wilderness. While being stranded, Maya and her friends figure many secrets, and that Vancouver Island may not have been what it seemed.

Thoughts: I would have to say, Kelley Armstrong's series, Darkest Powers was probably one of my all-time favourite series and when I heard that she was writing another series that linked to it, Darkness Rising, I couldn’t wait to feel her wrath of power in her writing again. She completely draws you in and makes you feel like you are the protagonist, Chloe in the Darkest Powers trilogy or in this book`s case, Maya.  Maya is a very strong character. She is brave and stands up for what she believes in and from what she has gone through, well, she has got some GIRL POWER!

       Kelley Armstrong’s books have changed my life. I mean with all the drama and power she puts behind her writing and the way she writes her novels and characters so you feel as if you are them and you can completely feel the way they are the betrayal and shifts come in.  I do have to say that I think Kelley Armstrong is one of the best writers out there that I have experienced so far. She has just an amazing talent behind what she does. Coming up with the whole plot of this story is unthinkable and the way she makes you shiver when you can feel like a ghost is there, (in the Darkest Powers Series) and when you can tell that something is going to go wrong if she goes in that room, or opens that door.  You just get this total rush of frustration because you want to reach out and tell whomever it is that you can`t go in there! You`re going to get hurt! Don`t do it! Or there is the rush of adrenaline that you get when the kids are running away or are being chased. If you have read the book, there is one place in like the first 50 or so pages that gives you that feeling. You know what I’m talking about.

         I would say that the calling is like The Gathering but with a big boost.  The kids go from living in the troubled Vancouver Island to out on the run from a group that wants to take them away because of their supernatural abilities. The journey never feels slow and after one amazing part comes another INCREDIBLE part that makes you not want to put this book down.  There was only one downside to The Calling that didn`t make me hate the book, I mean, I love this book and Kelley Armstrong as you can see. Only, in The Calling, there was a lack of answers compared to what I thought I would find out. There is one more book to complete the trilogy,(The Rising), which I hope will reveal everything and be even more action packed then this one.

          With all the character`s in the book, we learn a little more about their pasts and what their abilities are. The only I would have liked to see more of is answers to why they had these things and why is Serena dead, who killed her and what happened more with Maya and Rafe and her life.

           I still do LOVE this book and will probably be one of the best of 2012 and if you like a fast pace thriller, defiantly read this book. You won`t regret it. I would give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I think if it would have had just some more answers it would have been number one. Anyway, really good book and I am thrilled for the next and final book.

Rating: 4.5/5 Stars

Recommended for people who like: Action, Survival Stories, Romance and Thriller novels
