Title: The Last Bloodcarver
Author: Vanessa Le

Rating: 5 Stars

Review: This book was so good. It was at a perfect pace that built up the characters within the book. Nhika thought for a long time that she was the last bloodcarver, despite the name has another name.

She gets bought into a family that has a lot of secrets and a doctor that seems to have even bigger secret behind him.

The book is a mix of sci fi, fantasy and romance. Which is a perfect combination for such a good book.

You can tell there was parts that was inspired from Asian folklore which is a plus for the type of book this is.

The characters are perfect and they are well made to make a reader wants to know more about them.

The pace of the book is perfect for how it precedes to the ending.

I don't want to reveal the ending but I can tell you there are parts in the book that can shock you. So it has a perfect sense of twists and secrets.

Overall, this is a perfect book to received 5 stars. Good story, good build up on characters, good plot. Highly recommended.

I know it's been a while...

 I realize that I have been lacking on a lot of stuff. But mental health does that to you. I try not to lose interest in the things that I love and enjoy. But again, it's hard.

Surviving is the issue to most of everything these days. I want to tell my parents how I feel but they already lost their trust in me for no apparent reason. And that hurts.

Each day, I can't help but feel even more trapped. I try telling my mom that I need to do things alone more often. But she seems to want to add that she wants to join in. Sometimes I wondered if I need help.

I am a strong person but I have been angry, sad, hurt, and every kind of negative emotion there is out there.

While I am happy that I found the one for my heart, I can't stop what is happening to me in the real world.

I need an escape. I need to show my parents that things needs to change. It can't be on repeat and they NEED to trust me.

All this time, it hurts.

I asked my mom why she doesn't trust me alone again, but the answer is weird. Make more sense.

My mom needs help. I know she does. She just doesn't want to seek it. She feels like they would send her away. But they won't. You just need somebody else to talk to about what is going on with your mind. She needs it. I need it.

I wish somebody would kidnap me. Like literally. Each and every day, they are making me feel the effects of FOMO. Literally fear of missing out. I know I should feel this way, but it's beginning to feel this way more and more.

I want to breath the normal of other people. But I'm not normal. And I will never be normal.

Just because I had that major surgery, doesn't mean you use that to your advantage. I am more than capable of taking care of myself. I just wish they could see that.

But I've been hurt ever since my mom told me that she didn't trust me alone. Like what was that when you were in the hospital all those times before, mom? What happened to you to make you not trust me anymore?

My parents don't like changes. I can see that now. But they were born during the time where there wasn't computers, video games and many other types of technologies. It's understandable that they are the way they are... but they shouldn't push that onto people like me.

I've been dealing with computers since I was put into kindergarten. I will never stop using technology. Even as the day of AI age is coming and more advanced technology is coming. I will always be apart of it all.

I only wished my parents would learn to trust me again. Because there's no reason for them to act this way towards me. They need to learn to let go.

That's all I want... my freedom. My hope. My dream. An escape.

When Magic Gets You Into Trouble: A Review of What The River Knows by Isabel Ibanez

    Title: What The River Knows

Author: Isabel Ibanez

Rating: 5 Stars

Review: One of the best books that I ever read.

Thanks to goodreads for giving me a chance to read this book from a giveaway and to review.

I started out with the book, expecting it to be full of romance, but what I got is more than that.

This book starts out with the main character named Inez. She finds out that her parents are dead. So she decided to go to Egypt to figure out what has happened to them. Only to thrown into more mysteries and twists all while falling in love with a man who was supposed to be working for her uncle.

I have to say this book shocked me towards the end. I won't reveal it because it's a good ending.

The plot is good. The development of the characters is wonderful. The words are beautiful.

The whole book is beautiful and amazing. I highly recommend it to others to read it!
