Book review- The Witness - Nora Roberts

RATE:★

Pages:488

Author:Nora Roberts

Published: April 2012

This is my first Nora Roberts books, I was just looking for a good romance book, to be honest and this at the time had good reviews and was at the top of the best romance books of 2012. So I got the book and I was very dissapointed.

Story - Daughter of a controlling mother, Elizabeth finally let loose one night, drinking at a nightclub and allowing a strange man's seductive Russian accent lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that followed changed her life forever.

Twelve years later, the woman known as Abigail Lowery lives on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she designs sophisticated security systems--and supplements her own security with a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. But Abigail's reserve only intrigues police chief Brooks Gleason. Her logical mind, her secretive nature, and her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something--and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed.

With a quirky, unforgettable heroine and a pulse-pounding plotline, Nora Roberts presents a riveting new read that cements her place as today's most reliably entertaining thriller--and will leave people hungering for more.

Pro's - I actually liked the beginning of the book, it was of a vulnerable girl who wants friends and to do normal things and she does it. She becomes friends with this girl from her class and goes clubbing where she meets these Russian guys and I enjoyed reading that part. If was interesting and flowing very well. The Russian accents and the dialogue was good. 

CON'S - It was for me when she became Elizabeth and it was 12 years later that I really started to get annoyed with the book. Firstly, the girl was staying in this house and she didn't speak to no one and kept to herself. But the chief of police who I really hated and his mum kept pestering her. Like they would go to her house and say I want to come in or blah blah blah....And she never said no, like really. 

And then somehow she came up to the conclusion that if she slept with him, he would leave her alone. Like really, I just felt like it wasn't love or anything romantic but he just forced himself onto her but she didn't have the guts to tell him go away or I don't like you. I would have done that, it was very annoying and it just ruined the story for me....I don't know what kind of romance that is. 

Another thing was she talked a lot like I would read three paragraphs about something that could have been explained in one sentenced. Like I know she's smart and anti-social and all but it was annoying as hell. 

Conclusion-My first and last Nora book and this book wasn't a thriller nor was it a romance it was just disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this book to no one. 

New song: Beyonce - Grown Woman Review

The song is finally out, it's 5 minutes so I don't know if it's the unedited version so will see.

Honestly, I heard the song on her Pepsi advert like everyone else I loved it, I played those 30 seconds like 100times but that was a couple of months ago and now the full thing is out and here I am really excited...And hear it and........

It's the same song but just doesn't have the same momentum as the advert and I just feel like something is missing...Honestly, I love Beyoncé but this song is alright at best...not her best....Let's hope it's not a single and even if it is. I know the video will be amazing and maybe I will like the song a bit more but for now...It's pretty lame.

I do also have to add, I liked the African influence but it's like "Run the world, girls," that really wasn't a good song...

Peep the full song below and make up your own opinions:

The vampire diaries Season 4 finale-Review (SPOILERS)

O, my...gosh....My mouth was like this :O

It's the season finale of the vampire diaries and this post will have spoilers, you have been warned...

The beginning of season 4 was amazing, every episode I was left shocked and wanting more, that's why I love vampire diaries but I don't know if it was just me but after the Christmas break the quality and story lines just dropped. Another thing was I started to hate Elena, like it was too much.

Anyways, in the last episode it's all about the cure and Silas, Bonnie dying and ghosts. Let me start with the love triangle. I ship for Delena and it was cheesy but I was happy when she chose Damon...It wouldn't have been right if it went any other way and the sire bond was not needed.

However, I do feel sorry Stephen, I liked him with Elena but Delena had more chemistry. I was hoping for him and Caroline but that would to obvious and a little too much. Next season they should bring someone new or, or he falls for Katherine. Hmm, I bet that’s what their going to do. Imagine that.

Speaking of Katherine, she is a human...That was a twist, apparently, in the book it's Damon who takes the cure and honestly, I wouldn't like Damon as a human. No, just no. If Elena had taken the cure that would have been boring because it would be like going two seasons backwards. Stephen is understandable why he should take it but boring aswell. I think Katherine will be interesting too see if they will revenge her or Elena might just kill her then because can't she just re-vamp again or does the cure not involve that. Will see.

Bonnie dies and brings Jeremy back to life. Who here knows that she will be back alive by the end of season 5. I think it's good she's dead because she was soo powerful that she was un-touchable and that becomes boring. Lets kill this horrible monster, Bonnie, creates fire and bleeds on her nose and his dead. It would have gotten boring. But will see, hope she comes back. Wow, I have said boring a lot.

Klaus and Caroline, I liked them together...I love Klaus and hopefully, he pops in and out of vampire diaries because I saw the pilot episode of his new spin off show and honestly, it wasn't great. I will watch the show when it fully comes out but I just hope it gets better. Tyler will probably be coming back and I don't hate him but I like the horrible murderous Klaus more...so wrong,lol.

Oii, do you remember me at prom when I beat up Damon!!

Silas, I don't like this storyline and with the finale Stephen is Silas's double ganger and his Silas's "Shadow," that came out of nowhere. Then he dropped him in the water in a safe. Like really...but I was shocked and I don't even know what to say. If they do it right, it will very interesting to see what happens. I honestly loved in season 3 when Stephen was horrible...That was interesting so I have faith that it will be something to watch. I give them one episode until they realise that, Silas is not Stephen, probably, Damon will figure it out.

Great finale, cannot wait for another season.

90210 final episode ever. Season 5 episode 22 Review - ((Spoilers))

It is finally over, I am a bit sad that I won't be seeing the show anymore, I was one of those that started watching it at the beginning and too see it end is sad but 5 season is a long time and to be honest any longer would have ruined it. So good timing.

Let's start off with Naomi, Like I love her. She is the best thing to happen to this show. My favourite throughout the whole series. Her best story was with Mr Cannon. Omgosh that finale was amazing. Anyways, the show ends and she ends up with Jason or whatever and honestly, they ruined it when her and Max split. Max was the one for her and no-one, no matter how rich or good-looking or charming could match up. Max was just perfect for Naomi and it's a shame that they missed that. In the finale they really didn't go into details of what was happening after with Naomi.

Moving on to Ade and Navid. Their back together. Yay, Navid was just lost without Ade, he was kinda boring and his stories didn't really interest me but I am glad that at least they brought them together in the end. Him and Silver was just too much drama that wasn't needed. They got out of the collapsed stage fine and they rode of in an ambulance dreaming of a happy ending.

Silver time, this girl has been with every guy, from Dixon, Ethen (who remembers him,awe) Teddy (before he came out) Liam, Navid, Ade child's adoptive father and I am probably missing more but she has been around the block and back. Ohh, lets not forget Naomi and Annie's step brother. Plus her health problems, she has Bi-polar and this cancer gene. She has cancer in the finale episode and she is going to fight it. Honestly, not an expert on cancer but because they caught it very early, there is a great chance she will survive and adopt and baby from somewhere.

Dixon, nothing really happened with him. Like with his label and love life, his just a supporting act giving Silver a pep talk and being there for Annie and that was it. Nothing really going on there. But I liked Dixon and he was funny.

Liam and Annie are finally together....like really. Lol, i can't, honestly, that wasn't exciting or moving it was just "Oh, good for them." They should have gotten back together a looooong time ago. That's all i'm saying. But it's better late than never I guess. That was the biggy of the episode, I personnel preferred last years finale with Max and Naomi and the whole wedding thing. Tears....

It's over, but let's not forget our fallen charactor's....Let's start with Raj and Ivy....

I actually really liked Raj and watching the episodes when him and Ivy met was actually really cool and interesting. I hated Ivy at the beginning but she was different and it's a shame she left on a plane to nowhere....

Annie's Cousin -  I loved to hate her and she annoyed me but she made it very interesting and entertaining to watch. But it was a boring way to make her exit.

Ethan- The first hunk, boyfriend...all of the above. Was Naomi's boyfriend but he loved the new girl Annie and then kissed Silver who was with Dixon at the time. Then he dissapeared without a propa goodbye. I liked Ethan and it's a shame he left.

Austin- The cowboy who couldn't quite grab Naomi's heart. Awe, lasted only one season.

Teddy- Rich hot guy is gay, comes out and that's it. Hmm.

Max- Tears, amazing actor and best couple with Naomi of the show. I cannot stress that enough. I loved it and I am so grateful that we got to see them together. Amazing.

That's it. It had a long run and I for one enjoyed the show.

Goodbye 90210.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Movie Review

Rate:★★★★

Length: 1 hour, 42 minutes

Age: 12A

Genre: Romance, Drama, Highschool

A definition I found of wallflower:

"A type of loner. seemingly shy folks who no one really knows. often some of the most interesting people if one actually talks to them. cute."

 The film is based on a high school student who is a loner and doesn't have any friends, hence the wallflower. He makes friends and everything begins from there. He isn't a wallflower because of his character but more of what he has experienced growing up. He experiences drugs, parties, relationships and more.

Pros- I really enjoyed the family dynamics and how his sister, brother loved him unconditionally and just wanted to see him better. It's rare to see that in a film and that broke my heart.

I am not going to lie, near the end of this film I was choked up, it was very emotional and I didn't think that, that would happen but wow. It's amazing.

Charactor analysis:

Logan aka Charlie:

 He was really good, I believed the character and I actually had a lot of emotions of it all. Hopefully, will see more from him.

Emma Watson

 I just adore her and like everyone else, I was so used to seeing her in Harry potter and being a goody too shoes but she pulled it off very well and showed that she can really act and hopefully, will see more from her.

Nina Dobrev-

An amazing surprise that she was in this film and I am so used to her voice because I watch too much vampire diaries. 

Overall, I don’t think the trailer does this film any justice. I would defiantly recommend it. A must watch.
