Why is Lily one of the most awesome heroines ever?
+ She's strong. She gets abducted by aliens, kept in captivity with cows for almost three weeks and then dumped in a random planet with annoying temperature changes and yet never loses her spirit and never has a complete meltdown.
+ She's smart. She is cautious; she thinks and observes before acting, making sure the food or environment is safe.
+ She is gentle and humble. She agrees she doesn't know better and while she tries to understand the reason behind everything she never throws any tantrum.
+ She is human. She brought with her basic knowledge from Earth and Youtube video watching which are of great help on a primitive alien planet and does not make her ridiculously overpowered.
TO-DO LIST in case of being stuck on an alien planet: + Chanel Lily and make my own wax. + Find hunky adorable aliens to bear me gifts, orgasms, and cuddles when I am cold. + Find Nutella fruit because yum.
It's hard to have high expectations when it comes to sci-fi alien RH, because... it's sci-fi alien RH. Chosen does not take itself too seriously and manages to create a solid entertaining, sugar-inducing, and very cute first book, with all kinds of lovable characters.
Hm... This was both the only HEA I could see but also a disappointment. I'm glad the love triangle got resolved but the whole action/mystery/Rating : ?

But overall, Falling for Sakura is one great guilty pleasure that I would not be ashamed to read again!...more

This book was both in serious need of editing and of some construction. The plot was messy, the story was hard to follow and the result was just not enjoyable. So many stuff happened and it was all over the place. But the begining was not all bad because I would have dropped it if it has been. I kept thinking it would get better but it just kept getting more confusing each chapter....more

Heart of the Assassins started with a big disadvantage: it followed the marvelous and exciting first book of its own series. And we are all well aware that the life of a second book is never really easy.
As you might have noticed, Academy of Assassins is one of my all-time favorites. I loved this book from the first to the last page, I thoroughly enjoyed every character, every action scene, every little detail I gathered through my many reads. I fell in love with Morgan, with her team of misfits, and with Stacey Brutger's universe. So much I put expectations way higher than anything possible, those that I usually keep only for any Ilona Andrews' books.
Living to the hype was plainly unreachable and Heart of the Assassins left me angry, disappointed, happy, fangirling, excited, pretty much anything you can think of but mostly with a bitter taste in my mouth.
I owe my rating and my review to my second read, done just before jumping into the third book. The story might have been somewhat different than the scenario that had been playing in my head non-stop for several months and it might have taken me two reads to realize that, but I am glad I did in the end.
There is no doubt in my mind and heart that I adore this series. If the way the story has taken is not exactly what I have been waiting for, the characters are still the ones I have been massively rooting for from the very beginning, and for that, I can only be grateful to Stacey Brutger to give me the opportunity to see more of them.
Heart of the Assassins is very different from its past installment. The story and the characters leave the Academy and paranormal setting for a more fantasy one, with dragons, a quest, even more magic, a chosen one, some gods, and lots of action. The story taking an almost entirely different direction is a bit disturbing and exhausting; this new aspect of the series is not what we signed for and the pacing is far too fast for the readers to relax and inhale deeply. With too many things to do, the characters are unable to sit down for a second to communicate and it is slowing down their development both personally and as a team and lovers. We are left with too many broken records of internal monologues and a dance that never seems to end.
That is what happens when the fate of the world rest on a group of stubborn, low EQ, full of abandonment issues and savior complex, hot-headed balls of unresolved feelings. A bit of a mess. But boy if I love this mess!

UNICORN. REVERSE. HAREM. STORY. Where have you been all my life?

1. a mythical animal typically represented as a horse with a single straight horn projecting from its forehead. 2. perfect and best animal ever.
- As a unicorn trapped in a human body, I felt very connected to Celestia. - Celestia Rainbow has naturally purple, pink and gold hair. Hashtag so jealous. - Sleeping rainbow dust, please.

- There is a story. - There are guys. - There is a bit of fighting. - But who cares? There is a unicorn. - Hashtag magical.

Okay, okay.
Celestia Rainbow has been bullied all her life. People don't believe in unicorns (so narrow minded) and couldn't find anything more interesting to do than abuse a little girl. Her mom wasn't there, her dad wasn't there, her life was pretty shitty and at the mature age of nine she wanted to kill herself. Luckily, a great and powerful master stopped her in time and took her as his student. Years later, approaching her 25th birthday and having the emotional maturity of a twelve years old, she is accepted to Aslan Academy, the most selective as fuck school in all the dimensions. There she teams up with six powerful outcast shifters that immediately succumb to her magnificence. Making it the only acceptable instalove of the century, because duh, she's a unicorn. But of course, not everything is love and rainbow (it so is) and unknown people are trying to kill Celestia probably because they're so jealous she's a unicorn.

And then stuff happens and that might include a harpy/phoenix familiar, some dual personality syndrome, a very late birthday party, a bit of kissing (twelve years old mentality, remember), (view spoiler)[an alicorn that should have been a pegasus instead (hide spoiler)] and things I already don't remember. It might also end of an annoying little cliffhanger.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked book two less than the first one. It might be more sexy but it's less hilarious and sasRating : 4 stars
I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked book two less than the first one. It might be more sexy but it's less hilarious and sassy. And I can't help but find the big "reveal" kind of simple and not that interesting.
Nevertheless, it's entertaining as fuck and very funny. Erase her stupid surname and bring it on the end of the world and the next book should be perfect....more
