melina's book club pt. 7

I'm back again with another book post! I've been trying to be more consistent in posting these, and so far I've been able to do them at least once a month, so I'm quite proud of that.

I've been so so sick for the past week, and you guys would know that if you follow my instagram (@heyyitsmelina). I am happy to announce on here, that I am feeling much better! Thank god. I had a terrible cough that wouldn't go away! Then because of the coughing, I was getting chest pains (maybe I'll get abs this way?), headaches, and body aches. I've never had such a bad cough in my life, so I was surprised that it has literally lasted me a full week. Have any of you gotten a cough like that before?

So today I'm going to share with you some of the books I've read since the last time I wrote a book club post. So let's get into it! As always I'm going to give you the books right at the beginning, and if you like one of them, it'll take you right to that part of the post!

all in by jennifer lynn barnes -★★★★★

I'm giving another 5 stars. No, the world is not falling apart, but yes, I do love Jennifer Lynn Barnes as an author. She has a way with words that literally just sucks me in. If you haven't read my mini review for the Naturals, which the first book in the series, check it out here. For those of you who don't know, this series is a crime genre book that revolves around teenagers who have these natural abilities because of the hardships they lived through. It was their way of survival. Because of their natural abilities, the government becomes interested in them and brings them in to help them solve cases. This is the third book in the series, and it definitely does not disappoint! Just when  you think the series cannot get better, it continues to surprise me and it's honestly just so amazing. This book in the series specifically follows Sloan's story a bit, and I loved getting a better look into her back story. Truly an amazing story, and I really recommend it. You can get yourself a copy of this US: here or UK: here!

bad blood by jennifer lynn barnes -★★★★★

This is the final book in the series, and it was as amazing as all the rest. I am super upset by the fact that the books are over. This book follows Michael's and Lia's story, and while I wished there was more of Lia's backstory in this, I was still pleased to get something. the book did an amazing job of tying up any loose ends and answering and questions you might have. If you like crime novels, this is an amazing Young Adult Fiction series! You can get yourself a copy of this US: here or UK: here!

outward blonde by trish cook -★★ 1/2

This book was something on a much lighter note after finishing the Natural's series! So I never really do this, but I did some research on this book. I actually found out that this was supposed to be a movie in the early 2000's, but it didn't end up happening so they turned the screenplay into a book. Supposedly Hilary Duff was supposed to play the role of the main character?

The whole thing made a lot of sense, because I can truly see this book being a cheesy teen movie made around that time period. The story is about a rich girl, who's spoiled rotten, and after a run-in with the police, her divorced parents make the choice to send her to this wilderness rehab, to turn her attitude around.

Along the way she learns a lot about herself, makes some friends she would have never imagined, and even meets a boy along the way. It's a cute quick story, and while Lizzie can be annoying in that "stereotypical rich girl" way, I actually enjoyed the story! I thought it was cute and quick read, and if you want something like that, then this might be the book for you! You can pick up a copy of that book US: here or UK: here!
