Super Six Sunday: Series That You're Sad to See End

Super Six Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely people from Bewitched Bookworms. Today’s about Super 6 Series That I Was or Will Be Sad To See To Come To an End. I'm not ready, or wasn't ready, to say goodbye to these books. Note: these are just some of the series because I have a ton that I'm too sad to see end/ended.

Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead (6 books)

Can't tell you how much I love this series and I think I talked about this a lot again and again before. Silver Shadows will be out this July and the last book will be released next year so..I'm just not ready to bid farewell and to part from Sydney and Adrian's minds. NO. I hold this one so close to my heart and I'm in love with the characters, particularly Sydney Sage. So it's gonna be painful for me, not kidding.

Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu (3 books)

This trilogy ended last year and I've given all three of these books 5 stars. I just loved it and the ending, Champion's ending, held a bittersweet moment but sparked hope for the reader and the imagination. I'm still sad that this has ended. Not over yet.

Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (4 books)

Cress just got released but I don't think I'll ever get tired reading more about the world and the characters because they're lovable (I meant the good ones) and the fact that it's a gives off a very great spin on fairy tales is another A+ thing.

Blood of Eden Trilogy by Julie Kagawa (3 books)

I'm still not tired of reading about vampires especially ones that Julie Kagawa wrote. Every book seemed to leave in a cliffhanger but the ending of The Eternity Cure hits the spot so much that I can't wait to get my hands on The Forever Song but..I don't want it to be over yet like the rest of the books that'll be ending.

Curse Workers Trilogy by Holly Black (3 books)

This trilogy's underrated that it makes me sad because they're really good. The ending was like Legend's that part of you is happy and satisfied but the other part makes you want much so much. I enjoyed reading this book and was sad that I read it so fast (last year) and there's no more.

The Darkest Minds Trilogy by Alexandra Bracken (3 books)

Newly found trilogy that I am in love with very much. I haven't read Never Fade yet but I'm excited to do so but I'm gonna wait for Fall because last book comes out this Fall 2014. I don't want to rush because this is one of those series I hold so dear to me already.

And that concludes my Super Six for today. What are yours? :)

Book Review: White Cat by Holly Black

Title: White Cat
Series: Curse Workers, #1
Author: Holly Black
Publication Date: May 04, 2010
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy

Cassel comes from a family of Curse Workers - people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists. But not Cassel. He hasn't got magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail - he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.  

Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he must unravel his past and his memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen.

My Thoughts:

My first Holly Black book and it didn't disappoint! The story made it hard for me to put the book down and it's a rare thing to read a Young Adult book with a male's perspective. Or maybe I just missed some books, I don't know. I ended up enjoying and loving White Cat to the point that I actually marathon the series. The fact that this involved a cat added bonus points to my liking. Cassel had me confused with my feelings for him. One moment I want to shake him and yell, "Wake up!" then the next I want to hug him and tell him that it's not his fault. In the end, it had come to my conclusion that I like him. For the other characters, especially his brothers, I have so many mixed emotions. Lila, on the other hand, I like her from the start. She's one of a kind.

I've read the three books already but I'm only making a review for the first one. Black Heart, last book, was my favorite and the ending was a wonderful thing for a closure. Although some parts were rushed in the series, there's still this gut feeling that made you want to forget that minor detail and the bigger part of you just happens to enjoy despite the flaws.

My Rating:
