Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini Book Review!

Hi to all my readers 🙂 This my first book review on one of my fav book series. So have a look see what you think.

The book is based on character of Helen who has weird nightmares and is drawn to Lucas who has no idea of their secrets. Fate drives this story about repeating of history, as Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry and she realises the myths are true.

From the title of the book Starcrossed suggests, from my point of view that people cannot be together for some reason. This is what the novel does it creates obstacles in which two people from different backgrounds face.

My view on the novel, is it set out background of the story and where it was going in the first few chapters. It creates hatred towards characters because of the past. “Meeting his eyes was an awakening” This quote so short and sweet as it gets straight to the point.

“Gorge-ousl! I can see why she’s got Luke’s panties in a twist, she said with a cheeky grin.” “No! That’s all done with!”

This is one of my fav quotes in the story. It allows to show the cheesy romance in the air and, the kind of character Helen is. It brings in Greek myths and all things Zeus etc…

The genre is Fantasy Romance one of my fav genres ha-ha. There are books like Percy Jackson that also, relate to Greek gods and myths but I feel that this series connected with me through the romance storyline and the plot unfolding through each chapter.

With all books there are negatives however, as my rating is 5* I don’t think it could get any better but, that maybe due to my love of these types of books. One thing makes book so great is the characters throughout the book and there are twists at every corner.

100% Recommend a read of this book! Don’t forget the other two DREAMLESS AND GODDESS!

Thanks for reading! 🙂 Maybe post new poem later or tomorrow

Hi! fellow readers I’ve added short poem I have worked on hope u enjoy reading it. 🙂

Drifting, waiting slowly for it to stop!

The pain of this cold to never end.

All I wanted was a friend!

To keep me company and love me.

…

Now time has come for me to fall.

On my way I see you in the dance hall,

knowing I will never see you again.

Yet all is so dreamy and unreal.

…

The delicate, soft and gentle touch awoke me.

Time was standing still for this was the moment,

I couldn’t get over this bestowment.

It all begin and it all ended.

Thanks for reading my poem. More to come soon! 🙂

Update!

Hi to whoever reads my posts haha 🙂 I am doing update on the things I will being posting. First background, I hope to one day write my own novel in my spare time. Writing is something we use to express our imagination. I will be posting parts of my writing from poems to chapters of stories i have started. I am hoping to gain experience from others and to improve my writing.
I will also post recommendations of books to read considering i have a very full book shelf!

Who am I?

I am currently finishing my law degree with exams fast approaching in May. Writing is more of a hobby to me and is one of the reasons i thought of creating blog website. Reading is one of my passions that i hope to carry throughout my life! 🙂 But I don’t think that will change as my bookshelf is holding over 100 books haha.

Where did hobby come from?

Yep, like many writers reading started mine as in high school i got given book called Noughts and Crosses (MUST READ!). Then after that i have been reading as many books ever since. Although I hate English now I love being creative with my own writing.

Next Time…

Once a upon a time there was a little girl named Ivy. She had long silky hair which was black with blonde tints, some called her a witch.

Explore the opening scene to a story I have started:). Hoping to post weekly aiming for Wednesdays or Saturdays.

Thanks for Reading my post 🙂 Stay tuned for next time.

Beginner Writer!

Writing is a way to express emotions and feelings that some understand and others don’t. We all have creativity. Some choose to express through words and others like to draw or paint and more. Bellow are two poems i wrote to express my feelings not only to others but myself. Enjoy! 🙂

Crush

My eyes glistening with happiness and hate,

Blue icy eyes that dropped me in an ocean,

Chestnut hair so dark and mysterious with that irresistible attraction,

Crush me in your heart and love me.

Talking to those eyes I drowned right in you could speak anything,

One time I think I stopped breathing my heart felt no longer mine but yours,

That bitch liked him too well I will kill you and boil you!

Feeling that could lift my sprits with that one site howmuch I prayed you loved me back.

The special time of day which kept me on my toes for this feeling to acquire.

The talking stopped oh why you broke my heart and started to ignore me,

The tears never came however much I tried I just kept loving him.

Hate is what was supposed to come but I could never stoploving for my heart is stuck in that one beat.

Crush how ironic as you crushed my heart for some skinny bitch girl!

I loved you first why go for looks just because you will get a good fuck.

Karma is a bitch she dumped you for a better guy but still I feel you didn’t deserve it,

I loved you and still do and now my heart is stuck on you.

Ocean

Ocean, you call me to your waters.

Your smooth but ruff emotions glisten,

In the wet, cool, moist texture,

the rushing in and out of your waves.

The sleepless sound draws me in.

The emotions run high as you clash away.

The story keeps flowing through your veins.

By now people must be sick of you, yet it entertains.

No one can build you, yet you flow,

You provide life when no one else will,

Yet you still always frill.

I look in the blue and I see me.

You scare a lot through the lives you take.

I understand that it is not you that chooses,

yet the souls you take still leaves bruises.

I look in your water and I see the grief that always loses.

Thanks for reading. Hope to write more imaginative writing soon 🙂
