The Elemental series: Spark by Brigid Kemmerer Review

Spark is the 2nd book in the Elemental series after the 1st book Storm. This book is written in two POVs: Gabriel and Layne's. Gabriel is another pure elemental like his brothers but he has the power of fire. So when an arsonist is setting fires around town he is immediately accused. But if he didn't do it then who did?
Layne is a shy girl who is used to being pushed down in school and faces family problems at home but when she starts to become attracted with the hot ,popular Gabriel Merrick everything changes.

Having read the first book in this series and LOVED it , i knew i was going to love this one too. And i did. I knew i was going to love Gabriel after reading the first book and it was really interesting to read from his POV and see his opinion on things. I feel like i can sympathize with him more and understand the reason his acts the way he does. I loved learning more about him and his element of fire too and how he deals with controlling it.
Layne has a lot of issues with her family and i kind of felt bad for her but i loved how her and Gabriel got really close throughout the book. He really helped her through it all and she really progressed as a character.

One of the main reasons why i love this series is because of how funny it is. There's so much humor added in and i LOVED Gabriel's sarcasm in this book. It was action-packed and a real page turner. There is no doubt that i will be picking up this next book in the series.

If you love a good fantasy romance you should definitely pick up this series which starts with the book Storm.

Delirium by Lauren Oliver Review

Delirium is a book about a dystopian society set in the future where people have been brainwashed into believing that love is a disease which everyone must be cured of. The protagonist Lena believes the same thing until...she falls in love.

"Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing."

I did quite a lot of research of this book before i read this book and heard many good things about it so, i had a lot high expectations going into it. At first i was quite annoyed about how everyone was brainwashed in this society,being a strong believer in love myself, i found it hard to get my head around.
However, as i went further into the book i really started to understand why people would think that. The writer does an AMAZING job of really making us really feel what Lena is going through as she questions what she had been bought up to believe.

I really liked the relationship Lena had with Grace and Hana. It felt very real and uplifting in a world of such cruelty. Lena as a character progressed and grew more and more as she began to determine her feeling towards Alex. It was really interesting to read about Alex and Lena's love story. Forbidden love is always a page  turner!

Overall, the book really satisfied me after many high hopes. The ending left me dumbstruck and really wanting more. There will be no doubt that i will be reading the rest of the series which includes Pandemonium and Requiem. Lauren Oliver has a beautiful way of writing as i have seen in her other book Before i fall and i'm excited to see more.

If your someone who loves dystopian novels , forbidden love and a lot of action then this is definitely the book for you.
