4 and 5 of Diamonds: Catching Fire and Mockingjay

I finally got the time to pick up Catching Fire and Mockingjay, and those books didn’t leave my hands until I knew. I had to know how it ended, know who she chose, and know how the capital would fall.

8 of Hearts: Hell’s Heroes

Hell’s Heroes was the last in Darren Shan’s Demonata Series, and one of the best. It is weird to me to finish another one of Darren Shan’s series, because I feel like I grew up in two different stages with them, along with other series that spanned years, such as Harry Potter. This one was [...]

I enjoyed the Ogres and the Elves the best, with their magic speech and ability to see the real you respectively.

So our story begins.

3 of Diamonds: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games- a story of Survival of the fittest children, all to remind the people in the districts that the Capital can do what ever they want.
