Review Of Branded By Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki

This is a must read for 2014 such an amazing book.

Lexi’s life hasn't been great her father who she loves deeply passes away and her brother runs away, with everybody gone Lexi’s mom remarries an evil man and is falsely accused. Lexi is taken to “the hole” an evil place where they put sinners in and there are not rights at all and Lexi is branded with lust. A bright blue band is tattooed onto her neck showing everyone she is a sinner but she didn’t do nothing wrong. Lexi is forced to have a personal guard Cole who has to escort her everywhere and is forced to treat her with no respect, but it’s a different story behind closed doors. But in the hole love is forbidden the commander thinks that’s the biggest sin of all and should be punished by death.

My thoughts on this book: this is such an awesome book a must read for all young adult fans. I fell so in love with the characters I mean thanks for adding a new ship to my list of ya ships. It’s so amazing seeing how Lexi transforms into such a kick butt lady. And watching Cole slowly get feelings for Lexi just makes you all mushy inside. And Zeus is the best dog to ever be in a book I love his derpy butt.

Opinions: this concept for the book is so amazing I’ve never heard of such an awesome story before. The writing was fantastic it felt so intimate and personal I love how these two amazing ladies made the characters come to life and made you root for them or boo at them.

Overall: such an amazing book no doubt in my mind a 5 out of 5 stars a must read, put it into your tbr you won’t regret it. And thank you Abi and Missy for letting me review this and I can’t wait for the next one.

Do You Judge Books By Their Cover?

I know I judge books by there covers, I think we all are a little bit guilty of doing so. I’ve got some books that had beautiful covers but where boring story’s and I’ve gotten books that I don’t like the covers of and it turn out to be an awesome book.

Take divergent for example I’m not a big fan of the cover I full heartily confess that I only read because it was being turned into a movie. The cover kinda of threw me off I thought it look boring but wow now I’ve read all 3.

Then on the other side of the spectrum we have gorgeous covers that turn out to be dull books. My example is The Luxe the cover is beautiful but I’ve try to read it about 5 times but never gotten into it.

I guess the lesson we learn here is don’t judge a book by its cover, or do I’ve seen beautiful covers that where awesome books (shatter me, cruel beauty, and many others). But just because the cover is too plain or too girly or too masculine always give it a try you never know it might become your favorite book.

Leave down in the comments which books you’ve judge by it’s cover and was it good or bad?
