Book Review: Twisted Love

 Twisted Love by Ana Huang.

Quote: "You are the light to my dark sunshine, without you, I'm lost."

Plot: Alex Volkov is a handsome devil and Ava Chen's brother's best friend and her neighbor. As Ava's brother is going away, he has given Ava's responsibility to Alex to keep her safe as he trusts him. Since Alex takes every responsibility seriously, he decides Ava will be under her protection. Alex has only one purpose in his life, that is, revenge and he had no plans in falling in love with Ava, who is the opposite of him. If he is dark, then she is light. If he is night, then she is the day. Ava is everything that Alex isn't. But fate works in a different way. Both of them have a past that still haunts them to this day. Theirs is a love that will reveal new secrets that could destroy them both. 

My Personal Views: This was a really sweet story. Your usual bad boy and good girl cliché. But who doesn't love clichés, right? This was a really good read which I finished so soon, I can't believe it! 

Personally, I think the only problem for me was, the writing. I mean Ana Huang did an incredible job writing this book but, there is definitely room for improvement as I just couldn't find myself some good quotes. Also, I think the plot could have been better, as sweet as it was. The plot was your usual cliché story that I've read a billion times on Wattpad. 

I have purchased Twisted Games now, I really hope that book is much better than this! 

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5

Book Review: Ugly Love

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover.

Quote: "Rachel was right. The pain will always be there. So will the fear. But the pain and fear are no longer my life. They're only moments. Moments that are constantly overshadowed with every minute I spend with Tate."

Plot: The main female lead, Tate Collins has just moved in with her brother to live for some time, where she meets Miles Archer, her brother's best friend. It wasn't exactly love at first sight for both of them but with time they both developed something however, Miles the problem is Miles doesn't believe in love anymore. So, they opt to go with the perfect no-strings-attached arrangement. They think they can handle it, but everything changes when real emotions come out to play, and unfortunately, promises and hearts are meant to break when love turns ugly. 

My Personal Views: I was looking out for my favorite genre when I stumbled upon this book online. Reading the summary, I was way too much eager to try it out, and I had heard only good things about Colleen Hoover's writing. So, I did the only thing I wanted to do at the moment, order it online.  

Now coming to the book, the favorite thing about the book was the writing done by Colleen and of course the quotes. I am a sucker for books with good quotes, and this book did not disappoint me in that aspect. 

The aspects in the book that I did not really like, was first, it was too much ex bounded and second, the female lead felt weak. When I was purchasing this book, I did not think this book would be so ex-fixated. I would have liked it if the book was much more focused on both main leads' relationship rather than the other one. 

Also, I think the female lead could have been more strong-willed and upfront. Personally, I like reading a book that has a badass female lead, that's what I think I did not like. 

Overall, the book was a great one-time read and the quotes really kept me hooked. For me, my favorite character was Cap. Yes, it wasn't Miles or Tate, it was Cap. I found him really wise and he gave Miles and Tate the best advice. I really need someone like him in my life, lol.

Anime Review: Naruto & Naruto Shippuden

You can probably say, there might not be even one weeb (someone who is obsessed with anime) who has not watched Naruto and not liked it. Naruto has its own quite a big fan following which makes it one of the best anime out there. If there is an anime that made western anime fans crazy after Dragon Ball Z then it is Naruto. Even though Naruto has tons of episodes, movies, and then a sequel (Naruto Shippuden), it doesn't make Naruto any less popular. If you liked watching Dragon Ball Z and might prefer ninjas in it then, Naruto is the perfect anime for you.

Naruto is the story of Naruto Uzumaki, who has the nine tails inside him and is a trouble maker who likes to play pranks on people just so that they would notice him, he has always led a life of loneliness. However, to prove to people that he is not a monster but can lead a path of good, he decides that he is going to be the Hokage- leader of the village. As he graduates from the ninja academy, he befriends Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who are also his teammates. From being a failure and being looked at as a monster to becoming the hero of his village, this is the story of Naruto Uzumaki. It is filled with challenges, you will laugh, cry, and curse and you will still love it.

Masashi Kishimoto- the writer of Naruto, has done his job perfectly in telling the story and filling it with characters that people can relate to with their own amazing background stories.

Coming to Naruto Shippuden- the sequel to Naruto, I personally feel like it is much better than Naruto. It might be because of the Akatsuki coming into light or one of my favorite arcs- the great ninja war arc. In Naruto Shippuden, Naruto has grown up and has become more powerful then the Akatsuki comes and the great ninja war happens. We also see many of our favorite characters dying, so it will be pretty much a mess of laughter and tears.

The action and combat done in the series are quite good as well. However, the thing I really enjoyed watching in this series is how many of the characters have been given importance and have their own arcs to show character development.

You should really check out Naruto if you haven't already as it has not only benefited itself but also paved the way for other anime like 'My Hero Academia'. To sum it all up, it is pretty much a good series and a pretty good storyline. If I would have to I would give it a 10/10.



 

TV Show: Supernatural Review

 

 

 Two brothers, Dean and Sam Winchester go on a road trip and hunt monsters, demons, ghosts, and more. The show simply shows the bonding and love between two brothers and their love for their family.

Supernatural has a total of 15 seasons, and you might think along these seasons the plot or the story might have become boring however that was not the case with Supernatural. The show did not only have good actors but the storyline remained as interesting and spell-bounding as it was from the start. 

 

 

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles also did a fantastic job in playing their characters as Sam and Dean. And can we all agree that Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester is a dream? So much lore in the supernatural to explore and two attractive leads does make a good mix for a show and since it ran for 15 seasons straight, we can say it was a huge success.

The show began in 2005 and since then has gotten a whole amount of loyal fanbase. 

As per my experience with the show, I would say, I can never regret watching it. The jokes, the action, the Dean Winchester playlist, the Impala, and the supernatural folklores (that I had no idea about) were worth watching for me. Being someone, who likes these kinds of horror and action-packed shows, I can say I've become a Supernatural fan.

If I would have to rate the show, I would give it a 10/10. It's really worth a watch if you're a horror fanatic just like me, trust me.
