Read: April 2012
Language: English

Summary:
Forgetting who you are, your ambitions, your love is crippling….but remembering – embracing your purpose with a new sense of determination is more than empowering….its life altering. Charlie Myers is on a life altering path that will cause the dammed to humble in silence…
One night…just a few friends how could it go so wrong? That was the question seventeen year old Charlie Myers was asking when she found herself in the ER. Outwardly nothing was wrong with Charlie, she was a vision of perfect heath, internally she was battling a raging headache…one the doctor told her she would overcome shortly, but Charlie knew something else was wrong …very wrong.
Part of her had been stolen….she was missing memories. Those memories were sacred. They held the key to her sanity. They told her that the sinister whispers, the shadows that came to life before her were not as ominous as she felt they were. They held the bond with her late father, a famed musician. They caused her to forget the one talent that allowed her to face the darkness that haunted her every waking hour. They also masked a much deeper bond, the face of the one that had stolen her heart, long before the age of seventeen.
Sitting in the ER with her angry mother she couldn’t figure out what she missing – or even how. Her thoughts told her that she needed to protect Britain, a friend of hers, but that didn’t make any sense – Britain didn’t need to be protected from anyone, he was strong, young, and absurdly wealthy. Charlie also knew that even though her friend Bianca called Charlie her best friend that she didn’t trust her ….she was almost sure she despised her, but she couldn’t figure out why – or understand how random thoughts were telling her that she adored both Britain and Bianca – that they were her saviors – that they brought silence to the unstoppable whispers….but the silence scared Charlie. In her mind anyone or anything that could bring silence to something that dark could not be good.
Charlie wanted to stay in NY, figure out what she was missing, why, and who was behind it all, but her mother had other plans. Against her will, Charlie was sent to Salem to live with her sister….within that small town Charlie found her memories….and so much more.
Her story begins now.

The Story:
We meet Charlie who have problems remembering stuff in her life. She has forgotten something, but what. Only thing she remember is that she needed to protect someone. But who and from what, she need to figure out.
She´s being sent back home by her mother, to relax and find herself.  Mysteries slowly starts to resolve and the truth is being revealed. She is not insane. 

My Opinion:
I absolutely loved this book, just as much as Jamie Magee´s other books :D I love her writing.
Very harmonic and magic style :)
This book is full of mystery, drama and romance. With a dash of supernatural.
And as most books there are a cute guy you fall in love with :P If not one, there might be two xD
I don´t want to reveal anything. Other then if you loved Insight series you should check out this series, you will most definitly like it. And if you haven´t read Insight. You should check out both series ;)
This book got a 5 out of 6 stars

Because of it harmonic, magic style and you are never bored :)

I haven´t left yet. But soon :) I am packing now. But before I leave I wanna show you guys my TBR list for May month. If I will even get time to read xD 
But since I am travelling I will be reading loads of Ebooks instead and these are on top of my list :D 

For review:




and I need to finish Vonnegut and Douglas Adams rewrite Brave New World and find The Future Perfect av Kirk Mustard, which is an ebook  I started a long time ago. But never got to finish. I am about 45% done with it. So hope to finish this one :) 

Other Ebooks
Here my bunch is so so insanly long. But I chose out the once that are on top of my list :P 
Mostly books where I follow the authors on Twitter, and gotten really excited to check out their books. And now I got the chance :) So hopefully I will get them read.
 
 
   




As you can see my list was not long. And could have been much longer. And I probably don´t have time. Since I am travelling to Africa and will be busy drawling over Elephants xD haha

Review: Pandemonium av Lauren Oliver

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver


The Book: 
This is the second book in the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. 
The first book was called Delirium (2011). This book was published February 2012. While the third and last book is going to be called Requiem and expected released February 2013.
There is also a short story called Hana (2012), available on Ebook.

Lauren Oliver is also known for her childrens book Liesl & Po. Or her YA book Before I Fall.
And in 2014 she is being expected to debut with an adult book, called Rooms.

ISBN13: 9780061978067
375 pages
 Read: April 2012
Language: English

The Summary: (From Goodreads)
I’m pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
push,
push,
push,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.

Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.


The Story:
We jump between following where the last book ended and to what is happening "now".
Lena has entered the wilds, and are trying to cope with all the changes without Alex.
While later, which is now in the book. She is living undercover in the city, with others like her.
Follow her on the journey to survive, without being recognised.  

My Opinion: 
Wow.. OMG :) Just had to say it.. This book is much better then the first one :)
A thing I was not fond of in the first book was that it was slow passing and not much happened.
That I can not say about this one. Something new always happened :) And full of action.
You get to know knew characters while you follow Lena in her new life.
I don`t want to go into details. Because I don`t wanna spoil anything.
So just grab the book and read it :D You have to ;) 

I give this book  a big 5 out of 6 stars
