Hey guys welcome to Under-Hyped Book of The Week, Week 8... This week I'm here to talk about… A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray! Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him. Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined. A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead...

I had heard numerous amazing things about Cinder by Marissa Meyer before I was finally convinced to pick it up. I was put off by the cyborg element and how that would tie into the retelling, but I eventually picked the book up a year ago from my school library. I read halfway through the book and I really started to enjoy it but then I had to return the book to the library. I hadn’t had the chance to pick the book back up and finish it until now! Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless Lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forb...

Hey guys! Today I’m here to talk about the second book in the 100 series by Kass Morgan, Day 21 . And, unlike most of my reviews I’ll also spend a little time talking about the 100 show versus the book… What the book does better and why you should read the book even if you watch the show!   No one has set foot on Earth in centuries -- until now. It's been 21 days since the hundred landed on Earth. They're the only humans to set foot on the planet in centuries...or so they thought. Facing an unknown enemy, Wells attempts to keep the group together. Clarke strikes out for Mount Weather, in search of other Colonists, while Bellamy is determined to rescue his sister, no matter the cost. And back on the ship, Glass faces an unthinkable choice between the love of her life and life itself. In this pulse-pounding sequel to Kass Morgan's  The 100 , secrets are revealed, beliefs are challenged, and relationships are tested. And the hundred will struggle to survive the only w...

Hey guys today I’m here to review The 57 Lives of Alex Wayfare by M.G. Buehrlen… For as long as 17-year-old Alex Wayfare can remember, she has had visions of the past. Visions that make her feel like she’s really on a ship bound for America, living in Jamestown during the Starving Time, or riding the original Ferris wheel at the World’s Fair. But these brushes with history pull her from her daily life without warning, sometimes leaving her with strange lasting effects and wounds she can’t explain. Trying to excuse away the aftereffects has booked her more time in the principal’s office than in any of her classes and a permanent place at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Alex is desperate to find out what her visions mean and get rid of them. It isn’t until she meets Porter, a stranger who knows more than should be possible about her, that she learns the truth: Her visions aren’t really visions. Alex is a Descender – capable of traveling back in time ...

Hello guys so the season 2 finale of The 100 just aired so I thought I’d talk about my feelings on season 2! If you haven’t seen The 100 or aren’t caught up but want to know my thoughts on the show, click HERE to go to my Season 1 discussion (It’s spoiler free!). So if you don’t know, I loved Season 1 and had high expectations for season 2… it well surpassed those expectations! Season 2 took the stakes and raised them through the roof while adding major character development, new characters, and some insane twist and turns along the way! If I could describe season 2 in three words they would be action, politics, and back-stabbing because that is what it is full of (which is a good thing). Getting into specifics, all of the characters went from having a little bit of a personality to BAM a well fleshed out character. And this doesn’t mean that they always make good decisions or are always good people, these characters make some tough decisions this season that I think will re...

Hey guys it’s Meagan and today I’m here with a review of Mind Games by Kiersten White. Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly  right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future. Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways…or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey. In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.- goodreads.com summery I’d say that this is an okay one-time read, but I don’t see myself rereading it anytime soon. Don’t get me wrong, I did like this book, I just felt that it was ...
