My 5 Favorite-



1. The Selection Series- Kiera Cass
I loved both books (Selection and The Elite) and I can't wait for the next one! It has pretty much everything I would want in a princess story! And it's futuristic, even better. ;)



2. The Host- Stephanie Meyer- 
I'm actually a fan of the Twilight Saga, but I think the books aren't as good as the movies. 
But THIS book is amazing!! I love the story and i could read it again and again. Love the detail and POV.



3. Reached- Ally Condie-
I'm a huge fan of the Matched series in general (Crossed is not my favorite though at all) I feel like this was a great end to the series, with twists and surprises. It kept me guessing till the end and I love that.



4.Sever by Lauren Destafano- 
Once again one of my favorite series in general! But again not crazy about the 2nd one (Fever) but I feel like Sever was another great end to another great series. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I also got a little mad at some of those crazy twists. But they made the story.




5. Through the Ever Night- Veronica Rossi.
This was so much better than the 1st one. The plot was much better and I really enjoyed this.



My 5 Fails-


1. Allegiant-Veronica Roth-
I really hate to put this in here because I adore the first two so much.
I felt like the plot kind of fell short, It took a lot of getting used to. I don't know what I was expecting with the government in this book but I'm sad to say I was disappointed.


2. Vampire Diaries #1- L. J. Smith
I started watching the show in 2013 so I figured the book would be even better....boy was I WRONG! The writing was actually a little annoying to me. Too much drama. I only finished the awakening (#1) and that was making myself read it.



3. Partials- Dan Wells
Okay I was expecting a really cool futuristic story...But to me this was a little on the lame side. There wasn't a deep plot at all.
Although the 2nd half is MUCH better than the 1st, and there's a pretty good twist.



4. Bloodlines- Richelle Mead-
I don't know if it was because I didn't real Vampire Academy or what but this was very confusing. It had that lame school girl drama. Once again I kind of had to force myself to finish it.


5. Hemlock- Kathleen Peacock-
Okay... I actually liked this.. BUT it was SO much like The Gathering by Kelly Armstrong... So much alike it was hard to keep each set of characters seperate. That's kind of my only complaint, but it's a big one.

So there you have it.
I'm very excited to start my 2014 book list, read any good books lately? ;)
