Book Review: A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT by Sandy Hall

 The distinctive new crowdsourced publishing imprint Swoon Reads proudly presents its first published novel—an irresistibly sweet romance between two college students told from 14 different viewpoints.
The creative writing teacher, the delivery guy, the local Starbucks baristas, his best friend, her roommate, and the squirrel in the park all have one thing in common—they believe that Gabe and Lea should get together. Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class. They get the same pop culture references, order the same Chinese food, and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to work things out.
But somehow even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. Their creative writing teacher pushes them together. The baristas at Starbucks watch their relationship like a TV show. Their bus driver tells his wife about them. The waitress at the diner automatically seats them together. Even the squirrel who lives on the college green believes in their relationship. 
Surely Gabe and Lea will figure out that they are meant to be together....

 One of the cutest book I've ever read! Before I read this book, my cutest book is just only one: Fangirl and now I have two! This book is a very short adventure with 14 point of views and we actually have two main characters instead of this, we can only meet them with other characters' opinions. At first, I had concerns about this book because I don't actually like multiple point of views but this one is amazing all the way!

When you started to read this book, you already know this is going to be end with happy ending. In my opinion, I thought like that. And you just want to learn their own opinions too and I wish still we could learn their own feeling in their own point of views. Whatever, I really enjoyed this one!



“They sit there in the window of the coffee shop for almost an hour, not talking much, but looking at each other over the tops of their books, flirting somehow even without words. It would be gross if it weren’t adorable.” 

 “I look at her suspiciously. ... Nothing is ever short and easy in this class.” 

 “I feel like this is a horror story. That's how scared I am right now."Don't be scared.""That doesn't help.”

 There is not so much to talk about this book because this is very short and asy read especially you can finish this book in one sitting. But this book feels like you are in this story and watch their feelings for each other like other 14 viewpoints. Because this book is so sincere and amazingly beautiful.

My favorite viewpoint is Squirrel's and Bench's of course! Because it is so unique and so cute! When Bench said to Gabe that the most amazing butt, I laughed! :D

When you had a reading slump or want to read a quick-read book I will recommend this book to you! This reminds me Fangirl a little bit but of course Fangirl is all my best! :)

“Every time I see her, I’m always surprised. She keeps me on my toes. She smiles when I need her to, even though she could never know that I needed her to. I like the way she looks when she’s thinking. I like the way she looks at me when I’m thinking. ”

ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD by Kendare Blake - Review


It has to be a long-review because I am in love with this book and I can't wait for share my feelings with you.

First of all I want to list my feelings about this book and then character analize, and I am warning you, take care of yourself because in this post-review, we're talking about Anna Korlov who dressed in blood..

  • First of all, this book includes horror, young adult, fantasy and sweety romance.
  • Anna Korlov is the ghost who lives in a strange house and killing the people who came to her house. This story is not telling by Anna, our storyteller is Cas. For the curious ones; Cas's full name is Cassio Theseus Lowood. Yes, I mean that's too long and I want to pick the first one.
  • Anna Dressed in Blood is the first book in the Anna Dressed in Blood series and written by Kendare Blake. 
First and the second books:
And these are my feelings:
  • I loved this book. I never read a book like that before. I mean; this book contains a lot of creepy scenes and eerie. But I liked the characters, plot, author's writing style and humors.
  • The story begins like Cas tries to kill one ghost who is in his car and take his to the bridge where his the place died. And the action begins. With a full of humor. I love Cas's sense of humor.
  • But our the most important ghost is: Anna Korlov. She is a badass therewithal she has so emotional story too. She doesn't want to be like that. Never. But when Cas cames, something change and what does Cas do? Helping for Anna to save her or killing Anna to do his job? I don't give any spoilers about that so if you want to learn, read it! :)

Character Analize:
ANNA KORLOV
  • Cas Lowood: He is a ghost-killer who always travel the world for his job. His job cames from his dad, and he has started to do his job since her father died. He wants to kill the ghosts for his dad and he wants to save the innocent people. He takes a job to kill Anna Korlov but this is more difficult than he thought. Cas is so sweet and I love the romance between Cas and Anna. So sweet but by the way; weird. :)
  • Anna Korlov: She died badly in 1958 and she has killed the people who enters her house since 1958. But when we learned her story, we know she didn't want to do bad things and I think she deserve a good life. My favorite character is Anna of course.
  • Thomas: He is Cas Lowood's best friend. Firstly I don't like him but then I like him. :)
  • Carmel: Beautiful princess and if she wants, she becomes a badass too. I like her and I want to get curious about the romance between Carmel and Thomas. 
  • Will: Annoyable character. That's it.
ANNA AND CAS
THE BOOK:

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
Yet she spares Cas's life.
