Book Review:Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Spring (The Ravenels, #3)Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil in Spring...holy crap this book though...I had feels throughout this whole entire book and I loved every single minute of it. I loved how Pandora and Gabriel fell in love, and how Gabriel was very protective over Pandora because she was sheltered all her life, and also she's deaf in one ear. She wants to become a businesswoman and make her own games, and doesn't even want to marry.

BUT.

CAN. WE. TALK. ABOUT. THE. PROLOGUE. Y'ALL.

*pulls out a list of one thousand six hundred things I love about my husband Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent*

My favorite hero and loml (right next to Dante, of course) Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent and Evie appears in it and I CAN'T with it. I just can't with it. It was so cute and adorable and it makes me want to read the book over again because it was SO GOOD.

I'm going to debauch you for the ten thousandth time, Evie-and for once, I want you to pay attention."

Me: Hi yes, hello husband how are you OH PLEASE DEBAUCH ME ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT I DON'T CARE I LOVE YOU.

Buttt back to the book review and enough about my love for Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent-who's now a duke, y'all. HE'S A DUKE...

Now his son has the title of St. Vincent and at first, Pandora doesn't want to marry him. But in the week at Heron Point, they fell in love and got married, and it was really cute how when they went on their honeymoon and since she never went to a hotel she wanted to take a tour, but when Gabriel ended it and took her to their suite, they made love for the first time, and afterward Pandora told him that "Your lovemaking is a gift."

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS JEALOUS MISTRESS THOUGH? Like she wanted to make Pandora cry at the show, but Pandora stood her ground..before she got stabbed by the warehouse owner I believe and had to be taken to a hospital, where she was taken care of by Dr. Griffth. Gabriel didn't want her to operate on her, but then relented and let her do it.

Close to the ending of the book made me cry because I got worried for Pandora for a moment, then I learned (before Pandora got hurt) that terr ah GABRIEL'S A FREAK IN THE BED. Like he tied her up and they made love and my mouth dropped and I couldn't even.

Then the doctor's note for the both of them was funny and it made me laugh, and the threat that Pandora would got up and down the stairs and sing a children's song if he didn't make love to her. And the bombs that was planted in the hall when the Prince of Wales came through...that part made me cry the most, but I'm glad that they survived, and also the ending, when she came into Winterborne's and saw that her game was sold out. And the kiss at the end OMG I couldn't.

I would give this book ten out of ten stars if I could because it was SO GOOD.

Book Review: The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-#0.5)The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So...stupid me forgot that I didn't do a book review for this book. So I guess after reading this the second time, I decided to *finally* do a book review of The Assassin's Blade, a Throne of Glass novellas by Miss Sarah J. Maas...aka Yet Another Book That Wrecked Me At The End.

Shall we begin?

Like most books like this, I'll break this up by the short stories:

1.) The Assassin and the Pirate Lord-The first time I read this, I hated the pirate lord. I wanted to kill him for so many things. But to find out the Aborynn sent Sam and Celaena to get slaves from him, I was both shocked and appalled that he did that. I'm glad that Celaena came up with a plan to stop him from doing that because I couldn't believe that the King of Assassins would do that. But he did, but his plan was foiled, even though Sam didn't want to do it in the first place, calling it foolish. But he helped, and now all the slaves she saved were free and will never be slaves ever.

2.) The Assassin and the Healer-This is after when Aborynn beat Celaena and told her to go to the Red Desert. This was a really cute story about how she met this girl who worked at this tavern and saved her from drunks. She even taught her how to defend herself, then gave her some money and her brooch so she could leave that horrible place and go to be a Healer.

3.) The Assassin and the Desert-I *almost* shipped Celaena and Illas so hard, but Ansel was such a bitch for doing what she did. All because of something that happened to her a long time ago. And she and Celaena were such good friends, stealing Asterion horses and helping stop a local lord. But NOOOOO, Ansel made a damned deal with the lord and Celaena nearly killed her, but told her to get out and ride before she shot her arrow at her. That good she waited another minute before she shot her arrow. And I'm also glad that she learned some things from the Mute Master.

4.) The Assassin and the Underworld-This is the least one I liked from this group of stories, mostly because Aborynn screwed her over, but he showered her with gifts though. And Lysandra...hate her so much. I hope to god that she doesn't show up in the other books, because I want Celaena to mess her face right on up. And I felt sorry for Sam for even dealing with poor Lysandra during and after her Bidding, but glad that Celaena paid off his and her debts before moving out and leaving Abroynn for good.

5.)The Assassin and the Empire-THIS STORY BROKE THE HELL OUT OF ME. The way Sam died, and how Celaena had to go to the Salt Mines of Endovier. She was fucking set up by Aborynn-for what I don't know, but fucking hell, man. I hated Aborynn throughout the whole entire book, and to fucking set her up the way he did...I wished for the love god that he would die for what he did. That pissed me off to the HIGHEST pissofity. Also I hate the King of Ardarlan. So damned much.
