Veronica Roth: Allegiant

Hey guys,

How are we all? I hope you all had a lovely break. I certainly loved having two weeks off school, it was bliss! Actually had time to read so here we are... A blog post!

I read Divergent and Insurgent last year; and LOVED them. The plot, the characters and themes were just so good and identifiable. So when I got the chance to buy and read Allegiant, I jumped at it! 


The story just flowed on quite well especially since I had to wait so long between books. Tris and Four are finally on the same page in this book and they finally have their relationship sorted.

However, there is an event at the beginning of the book which shows that Four's mother cannot be trusted so a new faction is formed, the Allegiant. It's with this new faction that the group finally gets to see what's outside the walls and if I'm honest it's no better than what they left.

There is still in fighting and only the preface of peace. The theme of racism kind of comes into play in this novel, as there are those who are seen to be pure and those who a 'damaged'. Something similar to how some factions believe they are better than others and get this.... Being a divergent is a great thing! Who knew?!

Once again, Tris and Four find themselves involved in a plot to help this new place they find themselves in and it's filled with twists, turns and quite a bit of violence and sadness. 

I recommend this series completely to everyone, it's got something for everyone. Violence, romance, humour, sadness and betrayal, what's not to love?

I really hope you enjoy these books too and if you would like an individual look at my reviews on the rest of the series, please look at my previous posts.

Jane Casey: Maeve Kerrigan Series

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I've just finished my Journalism course, (exam wise anyway) I'm just waiting on results. Ahhhhh.. As a wee treat to myself and much to Scott's dismay I bought myself the rest of Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan books, including the newest one. Thought I might as well as I loved The Kill which is the 5th book in the series, if memory serves me right and I got so invested in the characters I just had to know more about them. Beginning with The Burning which is roughly about a nasty serial killer targeting young women. His trademark is the fact he then burns his victims making identifying them and him more difficult. The 'first' one we come across as a live crime scene is one that they are not sure if this victim was murdered by the Burning Man. This leads Maeve down a different route trying to discover if this victim is one of the serial killers victims OR if its an entirely different case entirely. In this book we see the bir...

Katerina Diamond: The Teacher

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. Yeah I suck at regular posts but I'm getting there. Recently it's hard to find the time to read, awk well. I'll get there! Very happy with this book haul. Thank you Amazon! I've even another batch ordered and hopefully will be delivered this week! Can't wait. It really is the simple things in life. I usually pick books either on reviews or from the suggestion section on Amazon. And this is what I've based my last couple of book buys on.  Can honestly say this book was a lot darker than I was expecting. I thought from the description that it was about a suicide and the events that lead up to it. However, that's really not what the book it about. It's told from about three perspectives, Abbey, Parker and DS Adrian Miles.  Abbeys' story is told through flashbacks to her past and her work life, Parker is a new intern at the museum where Abbey works and DS Miles is one of the detectives on the case of the...

Catherine King: Her mother's secret

Hey guys, another post so soon? I know I'm spoiling you ;) Finally got my mojo back and it's nice to be writing again. This book was given to me by my mommabear. It's more her type of book, I'm funny when I see certain covers, no idea why just am. I think it's probably because I know they're my mums type of book if that makes any sense? This book is actually really good. It's got love, scandal, social hierarchy and for a while we're concerned the past is doomed to repeat itself. The story begins with a scene from the past, Ruth Hargreaves is a beautiful, young woman ready for her first party with the upper class. The master of the house takes a fancy to her and forces himself upon her. This however, is not the worst betrayal of Ruth's trust. Her father, Seth makes a deal with Lord Laughton in which he forced Ruth to be his mistress in exchange for a higher position within the Laughton household. There is more to it here, but I'll let you fi...
