Born Wicked

Everybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. But the truth is even worse: they’re witches. And if their secret is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave. Before her mother died, Cate promised to protect her sisters. But with only six months left to choose between marriage and the Sisterhood, she might not be able to keep her word... especially after she finds her mother’s diary, uncovering a secret that could spell her family’s destruction. Desperate to find alternatives to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely unsuitable Finn Belastra. If what her mother wrote is true, the Cahill girls aren’t safe. Not from the Brotherhood, the Sisterhood—not even from each other.

I had no plan to read this at first. It didn't really seem like a book I would enjoy but I changed my mind and what a luck. The beginning wasn't that great though. Slow-paced and not really interesting but when I was thinking about putting the book down and pick up something else - everything turned and the book got great.

I liked Cate from the very beginning and got kind of mad at Maura for not listening to her sister, heh. The book contains a little love-triangle but I'm not really surprised. The book had been just as good without it, though. And when we're on it - Finn is definitely my favorite.

I really liked this book and I highly recommend it to you guys!

Twilight

Isabella Swan moves from sunny Phoenix to her father in Forks. She has very low expectations and literally thinks this whole year would suck, until she meets Edward Cullen and his family. There's something about him that Bella just can't get enough of and when he reveals his secret, she's not really surprised but does she know what it means? If she wants to be with Edward, she has to accept the fact that she'll always be in danger.

I've seen the first two movies and I didn't like them at all and because of that, I had very low expectations on this book. But the book were so much better than the movie and I'm so happy to get rid of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and focus on the characters instead.

Meyer isn't the best writer but the book was easy to read, just a little repetitive. I had some problems with the instalove too but it's okay, I knew what to expect. The Cullen family is really interesting and I hope to know more about them in the other books. I bought the whole box so when I got some time for it, I will read the next three in the series.

Actually, I thought the book was very good and after like 50 pages - I was hooked! I understand why so many have read these books and I'm sorry I didn't read them a few years ago. I think I've loved the series if I was younger.
