It is a series so I will read the whole thing!
Hey everyone,
I finished Richelle Mead’s “Vampire Academy” two months ago and am on the final book as of April 13th. I couldn’t help but feel so irritated that Dimitri and Rose weren’t together until the third book and then he turns Strigoi. Not by choice, of course! And then Dimitri is top dog in the Strigoi community. It was such a weird direction but now that I look back, it was inevitable to continue the story. I couldn’t believe it but I really loved Dimitri so I even loved when he was evil. I am finishing Last Sacrifice and they still aren’t together. *Sigh*
I was completely happy that Lissa was with Christian, only for them to break up! Such a shock but it had to happen too. I was completely in shock to see that Jill was Lissa’s sister! I didn’t see it coming and that is why I love Richelle Mead. She kept me guessing for days of who could possibly be Lissa’s sister. I love the books but I am unsure if I will read “Bloodlines.” I am not a huge fan of Sydney so I am unsure where the direction will go but of course, I haven’t finished the whole series yet.
Mead kept me entertained but I hate that Adrian got hurt. He never should have been involved with Rose and Mead shouldn’t have done this to her readers! I will admit, I was hesitant to read this series because I was like No way, Twilight. But then I read it and I was pleasantly surprised. I love a good story. I wish there was a better way for Mead to demonstrate the difference between a Dhampir and Moroi but that’s too late now. The books are great but I wish the love story was super strong in Last Sacrifice. The love story between Dimitri and Rose fades way too much when Lissa turns Dimitri back into a Dhampir. He should have loved Rose again. Hello?! I am a sucker for the love stories.
I can’t remember the last book I read that gave you a full love story with action. I want that and I don’t know about you but I think someone needs to give love in an action story that actually is happy and lasts. My favorite part of books are the ones that keep love happy. When there is complications, I get frustrated and it makes me sad. Does anyone else agree?
What I love about books is that you can pick up any book and read it again and again. The story will live on forever so in my mind, Rose and Lissa are still living on while they wait for me to pick up the book again. That is how I feel about every book and I always go back to read it again.
Anyways, I am finishing the final book and I will add to this post.
Happy Reading!

I am excited to say that I have been looking for an agent for about three months but it isn’t going so well. I am so ready to have some good news in my life! The whole process of writing a book is so exciting to me and it was the best time to write it but now it is time to clean it up for the third time. I have worked hard on writing my book for a year and 3 months and it is time for me to take matters in my own hands. My book will be self published in a 6 months tops unless an agent is ready to take me on. The truth is that I do not have any credentials but I am ready to get a credential and get my name out there. I know it is hard to get your name out there and I am hoping that a few people will get their hands on my book and love it. Who would read it though? It is young adult, science fiction novel and I am going to make sure I market myself somehow. I want to go on the Ellen show but that is near impossible. I have researched for days how to self publish and am so lucky to have someone help me through the self publishing process. I am going to make a new website to start letting everyone know what my book is about whenever it is published. Hoping for the best but of course I have to be realistic(: This past year has been the best of my life. I loved writing this book and I don’t think I will care if it is a best seller or not. I have had the time of my life while writing this book and I just want to share my story with the world. I love the story I have written and I hope that I can get my book in the hands of anyone. I just want everyone to enjoy the story and have a way to get away from the world for a while; books do that for me. Writing this book was a privilege and I want everyone to enjoy it. Hoping to get the book out soon.

So, I have just finished Veronica Roth’s “Allegiant.” All I could think at first was, how could she do this to me as a reader? But really quickly, five minutes later, I felt complete respect for her. What kind of author can make me feel these emotions? A great one. Veronica Roth wrote all three of her books with such a beautiful language. She completely had me in her world and I can only hope that I will write this way. I remember the first day I read “Divergent.” It was recommended to me on my nook and I was waiting for my car’s oil to be changed. I got a sample of the book and fell in love. I finished my sample in about twenty minutes and immediately bought this book. I was hooked and it took me two days to read it. I started “Insurgent” days after and went over the limit for books a month that my dad set up for me. Veronica Roth was instantly the kind of author I strive to be one day. I completely respect the way she ended the book. I cannot believe that Tris died but I respect Veronica’s decision. I read her reason as to why Tris died on her blog and I completely understand. I wanted a happily ever after, but the truth of life isn’t a happily ever after anyways. Some authors lose that; they think that they should give the readers what they want, but Roth knows that readers should feel something raw. I was so connected to this book and the characters that I felt like I was Four. I want them all happy and I want the best for the characters. It’s crazy that I can’t stop thinking about these characters. I completely forgot all my problems and put myself into their world. I am so happy with this series. I hope Veronica writes a new series because she is so talented. I can only hope to be like her. I truly think that she gave a story worth reading. I would recommend this book to anyone. She brings you into the story with the first words. I love the Divergent series and nobody can touch these books!
I know a lot of people are disappointed and I was for a little after the book, but just think about this. You learn that even after the darkest thing happens to you, you find the light. Four was slowly finding a light and learning to let people mend him. Veronica Roth sends a wonderful message. Her story will continue forever and I have decided to start the story over by reading it again. This is so different than any book ending I’ve ever read. She got readers talking and she got people’s emotions going. Veronica Roth completely blew me away and she is awesome forever. I have so much respect for her and I can’t wait to read what she has next.
