My Review:
Some Spoiling
Hmmm..
what can i say. I actually really liked this book compared to the first
one. The first book was predictable but this one was different.
Yes
some of the things repeated and Ana over thinking things still being
the same since the first book. But she does become a little stronger
through out the book, she finally stands up for herself. She helps out
Grey with his deepest darkest secrets.
But oh Christian Grey...
He actually changes, he actually wants to try a normal relationship with
Ana. He's starts to open up with her. He also becomes more romantic and
less controlling. He no longer wants Ana as a submissive. No contract
involved.
Then in this book there's drama with Elena and one of
Christian's Ex Submissive Leila. Which i did not expect Leila being a
stalker and harmful. Elena of course i expected drama because of her
pass with Christian.
I did not expect Christian purposing to Ana, and him telling her that he loves her. I was surprised.
Overall
I really liked the second book and the difference of some of the characters. And the unexpected in the story.

Title: Existence
Series: Existence #1
Author: Abbi Glines
Published: December 13th 2011 by Wild Child Publishing
ASIN: B006LFVZ8E
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Characters: Pagan, Dank, Leif, Miranda
Goodreads synopsis: What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.
Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.
Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.
Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.
He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.
MY REVIEW:
I got to say that when i first read the summary of this book i wasn't sure if i should read it because i did not have much interest in it. I'm not picky when it comes to books i can pretty much read anything you hang me. But once i started reading this book i could not put it down.
Pagan, this character is interesting. She a little immature and sort of weak (maybe). She sees spirits.. well "souls" and falls in love with Dank, of course...
Dank, rocker/death/ attractive... of course!! He cant stay away from Pagan.
I like this book it was pretty good, it kinda reminded me of twilight/ girl interrupted/ghost and the goth. ( some might disagree) i say this because Dank stalks and protects Pagan how Edward stalked and protected Bella. And how she was sent to a Mental house because she was supposedly going through PSTD but she was really going through depression, this if for girl interrupted. And for ghost and the goth, how Will saw spirits and he could talk to them and when Alona died he was the only one who could she her and talk to her, and they both fell in love with eachother. But it is the other way around from Pagan and Dank. She could see and talk to spirits and he well hes death.
Overall:
i liked the book, i cant wait to read the second one when i get my hands on it. But i like the whole idea of supernatural, demons, reapers and romance mixed together.

Review on Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
Title: Fifty Shades of Grey
Series: Fifty Shades #1
Author: E.L James
Published: May 26th 2011 by Vintage
ISBN: 1612130291
Characters: Anastasia Steele, Christian Grey, Kate Kavanagh
Setting: Seattle,Washington
Rate: 3 out of 5 stars
Goodreads Synopsis:When literature student Anastasia Steele is drafted to interview the successful young entrepreneur Christian Grey for her campus magazine, she finds him attractive, enigmatic and intimidating. Convinced their meeting went badly, she tries to put Grey out of her mind - until he happens to turn up at the out-of-town hardware store where she works part-time.
The unworldly, innocent Ana is shocked to realize she wants this man, and when he warns her to keep her distance it only makes her more desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her - but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success – his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving adoptive family – Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a passionate, physical and daring affair, Ana learns more about her own dark desires, as well as the Christian Grey hidden away from public scrutiny.
Can their relationship transcend physical passion? Will Ana find it in herself to submit to the self-indulgent Master? And if she does, will she still love what she finds?
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.
This is Actor Matt Bomer. | This is how I imagined Christian Grey |
The Characters:
Anastasia Steele: flat and static
Christian Grey: flat and static
Katherine Kavanagh: round and dynamic
I did not like the Ana Character shes Confused, Immature, Weak, and maybe Schizophrenic since she had her subconscious and her " Inner Goddess" as she says. Of course she's beautiful, but her and over thinking things she did not see that. I didn't like how she said " oh my" it really annoyed me. I also did not like that when she was give advice for her mother or friends she would ignore it and follow of what her " inner goddess was thinking. Umm hello!!! are you stupid!!
Kate, i don't have much to say about her. She did not annoy me. Shes a great friend of Anas. But again Ana never listened to her and completely ignored her advice.
Now last but not least, Mr. Fifty Shades of Fucked up. Christian Grey what can i say about this guy... Of course he's good looking or as Ana says he's so hott! But i don't like his personality. He's a Control Freak, A Stalker,And Abusive. I did not like how he thought that Ana being a Virgin was " Situation" as what he calls it. And he had to quickly fix it. Umm excuse me, if i were Ana Steele i would of said Fuck No, slap him, and left. But noo! she stayed and pretty much melted by his good looks and "charm".
Overall:
I don't hate this book or like it. I'm in between. For example this book is like a catchy and terrible song. Yes you might not like it but you can't stop listening to it when it starts playing. The book got a little better through out the ending. I'm going to read the second book and write a review on it.
- I can't believe that this story was the erotic- fan fiction of Twilight but just the names are changed. A friend of mine made a joke that it sounded just like the Twilight story. And i told her that its based on one of the Twilight's Fan fiction stories.
