So I've got this thing about YA books. I don't really like reading books where the characters are an age younger than me because I like to actually imagine myself as the main protagonist most of the time... lame I know.
Well recently I've been reading a few more YA books. Some aren't really all that bad, some are awful & then there are the ones in between.

Anatomy of a Boyfriend  - Daria Snadowsky

Before this all happened, the closest I'd ever come to getting physical with a guy was playing the board game Operation. Okay, so maybe that sounds pathetic, but it's not like there were any guys at my high school who I cared to share more than three words with, let alone my body.

Then I met Wes, a track star senior from across town. Maybe it was his soulful blue eyes, or maybe my hormones just started raging. Either way, I was hooked. And after a while, he was too. I couldn't believe how intense my feelings became, or the fact that I was seeing—and touching—parts of the body I'd only read about in my Gray's Anatomy textbook. You could say Wes and I experienced a lot of firsts together that spring. It was scary. It was fun. It was love.

And then came the fall.

The story involves main character Dom, her best friend Amy & Wes. Once you get through it you actually realize it's a pretty good book. It's not too long and it does have a lot of humor moments. The sex scenes are somewhat realistic and don't involve words like 'throbbing membrane' and 'love tunnel'.
The one thing though that I could not stand was Dom. The main character is a very naive person. She's a 17 year old who's never had sex and seems to suffer from what I call 'Clingy Girlfriend Syndrome'. In the beginning her and Wes' relationship is pretty sweet and they do seem to enjoy each other but she's one of those people who talks and does things just to impress her boyfriend. She's constantly thinking about what he's doing or what they'll do and it's just like .. what. I understand they're in a relationship but she makes it seem like the world literally revolves around him and that's all that matters in life.
Dom was also EXTREMELY whiny. She is in smaller terms, a spoiled brat. I wanted to seriously punch her in the face a few times while reading this. She's amazingly over dramatic and is just down right annoying. Maybe that's how all 17 year olds act. I didn't. I don't think I actually know someone in high school who did. But hey, in the end it was still a good book. 

I'd give it 6 out of 10 stars.

On May 25th, the day I had been waiting for for months, something amazing happened. Magic Bleeds came out. That morning after dragging myself out of bed, I ran to the bookstore 10 minutes after it opened and bought the book. Let me just say.. Books-A-Million needs to have better organizing skills. They need an actual Supernatural/Urban Fantasy section. I found Magic Bleeds in the Science Fiction which if you want to get technical I'm sure this book could in SOME way be considered Science Fiction but just.. no. Moving on.

Magic Bleeds is the 4th installment for the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Magic Strikes ended with Curran leaving a note for Kate describing what he would like a Naked Meal to consist of. This book starts off with Kate not only getting stood up but snubbed by Curran for their 'Naked Meal.' Furious and hurt, the book already starts off amazingly. Action starts almost right away and it just keeps going and going. Throughout the book Kate has to deal with a whole new load of problems. Her job, her friends, the man she loves & even herself are all in danger. The stakes are getting higher and the enemies more brutal.

There were parts where I was literally holding my breath and refused to turn the page because I was afraid of the outcome. There were times where I even wanted to hit my head and go 'JUST DO IT ALREADY'. This book has it all : Action, romance, humor, drama. I just can't get over this it after finishing it 2 hours ago. I'm ready to start re-reading it already. Actually, next book please! ;]

Ilona [& Gordon] Andrews never disappoint with this series. I'll admit I was almost driven crazy by the sexual tension in the past 3 books but this one ended it all. I finally got my release. Normally with series I've read, sometimes the books start to go downhill after the first or second. Kate Daniels & co. just keep getting better and better. The enemies are getting more and more dangerous and the battles are getting more and more deadly.

I'll admit though, I'm in love with Curran now. He really comes off as an overbearing jerk sometimes in the other 3 books but oh man. I can't get over him in this one. He's just amazing. I'm kind of starting to dislike Andrea though. I hope she'll be able to redeem herself.
All in all, I give this book a 10 out of 10. I can't praise it enough. I'm looking forward to Kate 5 already.
