The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff

Rating: 3- Good, Average, Alright, you name it
PLOT:

Being the youngest daughter of the Devil has never been easy. Daphne's father has no time for her, her mother no interest, and her status in the upper echelon separates her from the working-class demons that populate Lucifer's metropolis. When her brother and only confidante goes missing, life in the restrictive city of Pandemonium becomes intolerable. Now, in an attempt to find him, Daphne sets out for Earth - and finds it larger and more chaotic than she imagined: a dazzling expanse of noise, dirt and random violence. Despite her bewilderment, she navigates the mortal world with growing fascination, gaining an ally when she saves a dying boy from her father's minions. For Truman Flynn, the last year has been one long downward spiral, but when Daphne arrives just in time to save his life, he finds himself unexpectedly glad to have another chance. Together, Daphne and Truman go in search of her brother, braving the hazards of Las Vegas and the perils of first love, even as it becomes increasingly clear that her brother might have had a secret and compelling reason for leaving. Lucifer's agents aren't the only creatures on the prowl, and Daphne soon finds herself the target of a plan to rid the world of demons for good. Now she must evade a demon-eating monster, rescue her brother from an angelic zealot, and save the boy she loves from his greatest enemy - himself.

I cannot understand WHY would anyone write a synopsis that long.
This novel is interesting due to its plot and characters, Yovanoff did a great job with making twists and turns with heavenly creatures. As you could see, my rating's 3, So it is neither bad nor super amazing, but has a share of both worlds in teeny tiny bits.

The first thing that I liked about it is Daphne and Truman's love story, Daphne isn't one of those cutesy female leads that is annoying yet gets the best slices in the story. She's in fact quite smart and calculates her every move, she's kind and her worries really makes you worry, and convinces readers she isn't from our world without making her look too stupid at the same time she looks reasonably ignorant (because she lived all her life in Hell), she somehow reminds me of Castiel...

yep out of this world

Truman is messed up, I could name a few people I know personally who are very much like him. His relationship with Daphne is nicely done, they didn't have a good start nor did they go on having too much of the love hate relationship thing which most novels love to use in every page. They have disagreements once in a while but their love blossomed later on in a realistic manner.

Like I mentioned, I am into the series Supernatural, so the idea od angels and demons appeal to me, but there sure are some confusing parts here on the 'rules' both sides have when it comes who to kill etc. Some of the conversations of the older characters are just boring to read. the ones that can be skipped and the plot still survived.

So all in all, it's average for me.

The Catastrophic History of You And Me by Jess Rothenberg

Rating: 4- Would recommend it to everyone
PLOT:

Brie's life ends at sixteen: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart--literally. 

But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend has been keeping a secret about Jacob, the boy Brie loved and lost--and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul...who just might hold the key to her forever after. 

With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the five stages of grief before she's ready to move on. But how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces?

Why didnt movies ever thought of this concept before? Literally dying of a broken heart... because of being heartbroken. Oh the pun. But The Catastrophic History of You and Me not only gave justice to that idea but also succeded in breaking my own heart for Brie, and mending it up again.Romance, betrayal, bestfriends and boyfriends, these are the typical ingredients for any teenage novels, yet I was still surprised at the twists Rothenberg gave the story. 

First, we all knew from the first pages that it when Jacob broke up with Brie, he killed her, but then you can't help to actually like him a bit since there were flashbacks of how the popular girl Brie fell in love with him in the most sincere, honest way.

But then again you will come to hate him once more when Brie comes back as a ghost weeks after she died and saw Jacob in a party talking to his friends about being with some other girl.

Oh the heartbreak again. Then she also saw her family falling apart, since her mother and brother are depressed, then she saw her dad's other woman, her best friend was also betraying her. Plus the only living creature who could see her was her dog. She also has an also dead companion called Patrick to whom she is falling for but their relationship degrades later on. 

So near yet so far, So sad yet so sweet. If Brie were alive she would die all over again. How much could a dead teenager would take?

In all of this, there are funny parts and Patrick's constant jokes with Brie helps to lighten up things. With all the lessons you could learn and the easy way a reader could relate to Brie, this novel is truly worth reading (but be ready for a diverse offers of emotions)

Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig

Rating: 4-Would recommend it to everyone

PLOT

Miriam Black knows when you will die.

Still in her early twenties, she's foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks, strokes, suicides, and slow deaths by cancer. But when Miriam hitches a ride with truck driver Louis Darling and shakes his hand, she sees that in thirty days Louis will be gruesomely murdered while he calls her name.

Miriam has given up trying to save people; that only makes their deaths happen. But Louis will die because he met her, and she will be the next victim. No matter what she does she can't save Louis. But if she wants to stay alive, she'll have to try.

Stories about girls seeing the future sounds familiar, somebody might have already used that idea but Ihave never read a novel on that theme, thus it is with great pleasure I was able to read Blackbirds. Miriam was sharp-tongued, restless, and had given up hope on changing people's fate. I mean who could anyway? When chance made her meet the driver Louis, hope began gnawing at her, as well as conscience to try saving him from the violent death she had foreseen.

It's really nice to see their relationship develop later on, even though Miriam wants to keep herself from caring about him. When a companion dragged her into a dangerous mess of illegal drugs and psychotic enemies, her resolve to make a change one and for all is quite honorable for her. Gaaaah I love her! Maybe having her as a sister would be so great. Plus Louis is truly lovable too, like a gentle giant (I honestly think that is the best description of him) 
and if I am ever going to meet him in their world I would go fangirling on him

I love Urban Fantasies, Dark novels and all, and I could say this one is worth the read (n__n)/
