Becoming Darkness by Lindsay Francis Brambles



Like everyone else living in Haven, seventeen-year-old Sophie Harkness is an Immune--a carrier of the genetic mutation that protects her from the virus Hitler unleashed upon the world more than half a century ago. A virus that wiped out most of humanity and turned two-hundred million people into vamps. But after her best friend is brutally murdered and several attempts are made on her own life, Sophie becomes determined to find answers to what seems to be a conspiracy running generations deep. And when she questions the peace treaty that keeps her small community protected, Sophie begins to discover terrible truths about herself and what it means to be human in a world ruled by darkness. 

Lindsay Brambles' debut young adult novel is a story of an alternate universe: Hitler won the war, our modern technologies never evolved, and the Nazis' terrifying reign still continues. This fast-paced novel will appeal to readers who guzzle up genre mashups and are looking for a fresh hybrid to sweep them away.
----------------------------------------------

This is the debut book of Lindsay Francis Brambles and it's a good book. The book has a lot of character development that gave extra impact to me. Every page entranced me and had a lot of surprises. It's romantic, creepy, mysterious and achingly delicious. But there were lots of flashbacks that confused me, I hope they could fix that plus the typographical errors (since I just read an ARC copy). If you skipped even just one chapter you would be lost in the story because as I said there were lots of flashbacks and that sucks! I don't know when will be the release date of this book but I hope I could get a physical copy not an e-book.

Shadow and Bone (Grisha Verse, #1) Review

Hold your grip everyone! This book will blow you a real fantasy experience through reading! Shadow and Bone has a lot to offer the readers because it covers many aspects in the society (reality) that turned into fiction-kick ass portrayal, friendship, trust, betrayal and magic. This is tricky, lovely and amazing book. I love fantasy. I love Shadow and Bone! PLOT SUMMARY: Alina Starkov is a teenaged orphan, a citizen of Kingdom of Ravka. She grew up with Mal Oretsev. As the story begins they are marching to the Unsea (fold), a perpetually dark, barren, strip of land cutting most of Ravka off from the sea. Periodic expeditions are sent across to take goods to the sea, and bring back imports. The crossing is dangerous, because the Unsea is inhabited by monsters named Volcra. Early in their crossing, the Volcra attack, and, while saving Mal, Alina displays an extraordinary Grisha talent. The Grisha are Ravkan with singular powers, e.g. to call fire, to create wind, to stop hear...

Book Review: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Greg Gaines, a senior high school student in Benson whom I think is a total psychopath (in a good way). He's a "friend to all" the Benson students an calls himself an espionage. He's always with his friend or "co-worker" and they make "bad" films together. Greg first met Rachel or "the dying girl" when they were both in a Jewish School. He didn't like Rachel because she's not his type but it they ended up together, anyway. Greg really regretted that. Every time Rachel calls and invites him to come over and hang out. he just tells her hilariously unacceptable reason. Until Rachel finally got the cue that Greg's ignoring him. So I guess, she hated him then and till high school. That's why they don't talk to each other anymore. Until Greg's mom told him that Rachel has a cancer and she needs someone that can make her happy or laugh. Greg declined that but his mom just bugs him and won't stop telling things t...
