The best way for her to protect herself is to understand her ability, fast. But after spending a lifetime trying to ignore her own feelings, giving in to her ability to read other peoples’ emotions is as difficult as it is dangerous. And Wylie isn’t the only one at risk.

As the Pretty Little Liars last 10 episodes starts tonight, I am starting to get emotional to say goodbye to a series I have been following for 10 years. From reading Sara Shepard's first book (when released in paperback) in 2007, watching the first episode of the show premiere in 2010, Pretty Little Liars has had a huge impact on my life. I have developed friendships based on our similar obsession to figuring out A. We have shown excitement when figuring out Mona and CeCe as A, cried over the loss of some favorite characters and PLLShips, and screamed at the liars a number of times for just not going to the police!

As much as we want our Liars to have peace and live a happy life, we just can't look away from their drama.   These girls have become our friends, and now after years o

This is a spoiler review for We Can Be Mended: An Allegiant Epilogue by Veronica Roth. This was a pre-order bonus gift when you submitted your receipt for Carve the Mark to the publishers. If you have not read the Divergent series, please note this review will contain spoilers from the last book in the trilogy, Allegiant . If you do not want to read spoilers for We Can Be Mended please stop reading now.     " We Can Be Mended is a short-story epilogue that focuses on Four and takes places five years after Allegiant, the conclusion of the Divergent series." ( goodreads )     I have not done a review on any books from the Divergent series (even though I plan to eventually). So before I start this review I want to make two things clear: First, Divergent is my favorite series, I love it to no end. I even have my own version of Tris bird tattoo, one bird (3 total) for each member of my family that I got when I moved out on my own.  Second, I accepted Tris
