Lady Midnight review (SPOILERS BELOW)

Rating 3/5
Summary from goodreads (x)
Emma Carstairs is a warrior, a Shadowhunter, and the best in her generation. She lives for battle. Shoulder to shoulder with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, she patrols the streets of Los Angeles, where vampires party on the Sunset Strip, and faeries—the most powerful of supernatural creatures—teeter on the edge of open war with Shadowhunters. When the bodies of humans and faeries turn up murdered in the same way Emma’s parents were when she was a child, an uneasy alliance is formed. This is Emma’s chance for revenge—and Julian’s chance to get back his brother Mark, who is being held prisoner by the faerie Courts. All Emma, Mark, and Julian have to do is solve the murders within two weeks…and before the murderer targets them.

My thoughts:
Good Lord where do I start. I was looking forward to this book so much and it flopped big time. I was so disappointed with this book. I am so happy I did not waste my money and buy this book. There were a few  bright spots in an other wise dull book. I will read the second book but I do not expect it to be much better than this one. I felt like this book was too long and could have been shorter. I hope the next book is not as big as this one was. So here goes the review. Also this is not spoiler free.
The Plot:
Where do I even start I did not like it all. I thought the plot twists were predictable and not exciting. I thought  Mark's storyline should have been more in focus just not in bits and pieces of the book. The whole forbidden romance plot line was so dumb cause parabatai cannot fall in love. The flashbacks were one of the very few highlights of this book. The plot dragged in a lot of areas and it felt like some of it was unnecessary. I did like the scenes with the Blackthorn family which were mostly cute and funny at times, I liked that some old characters showed up through out the story which this book a little more bearable.
The Characters:
I did not like Emma at all. I did like Julian so much, I love that he takes care of his family and is very dedicated to them. The Blackthorn family are wonderful they were another very good thing in the book. I liked Mark and I excited to see what happens next with his story and growth. I think Christina was one of the best thinks about this book and I hope she gets more pages in the next book.
Final Thoughts:
Yikes just Yikes. Do not read this book unless you absolutely have to.

Great websites to buy books for less

I love books but I love books that I got less than list price more. I always hunt for bargains because the more money I save the more books I can buy.  I usually get books from the library but when the do not have the book or I really love the author I buy them. So here are some of the sites I shop at.

• book depository
• abe books
• betterworld books
• book outlet
• thriftbooks

• alibris

I also shop at my libraries bookstore, thrift stores, and my libraries once a year $5 dollar book bag sale( which is the best thing ever I got 25 books for five bucks!)

Walk the edge by Katie McGarry

Rating 5/5

Summary from goodreads:
Smart. Responsible. That's seventeen-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyber-bully's line of fire—and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life.

Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong. But when he learns she's being blackmailed over a compromising picture of the two of them—a picture that turns one unexpected and beautiful moment into ugliness—he knows it's time to step outside the rules.

And so they make a pact: he'll help her track down her blackmailer, and in return she'll help him seek answers to the mystery that's haunted him—one that not even his club brothers have been willing to discuss. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And suddenly they're both walking the edge of discovering who they really are, what they want, and where they're going from here.(x)
My thoughts:
I love every book written by this author so this was an automatic purchase. I love the Thunder road series so much and I could not wait to read this. This book did not disappoint me at  all.  I now really want book three of this series all ready especially because of  the main characters. This is one of my favorite books of the year. It was so good and I want to read the whole series again.  I would recommend this book to basically everybody.
The Plot:
So I really liked the plot. The only complaint I have is that I wish the book was longer. The plot did not feel rushed which was good. The characters had to get to know each so the plot being rushed helped their relationship grow.   The plot did not seem too far fetched and I loved the mystery in the story. The plot twists were few but actually helped the characters and the story  progress.
The Characters:
I really loved Razor from the first book and wanted to know why he acted so closed off.  The more I learned about Razor the more I liked him. I also felt sorry for him after what is revealed about his past.  Breanna was an interesting character that I grew to like. She did not annoy me at all like some main characters. I felt sorry for her in the family department. Razor and Breanna were a wonderful couple. There relationship did not feel rushed or that it was forced. They helped each other grow and become better people.I liked that we got to see characters from Nowhere but here  such as Oz, Emily, Chevy, and Violet. I absolutely hated Breanna's family they were so rude to her and not very supportive of her.
