Random Rant: When The Ending Is A Disappointment.

I just felt like ranting a little.... My heart is broken! Halfway through reading "Allegiant" I read that the ending of the book was horrible. I was curious and quickly read ahead, for what? To find out Tris...dies...DIES. Yes, this is my first time getting into a series and bam! I'm so disappointed I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of selling the books or I don't know what.

But going back to my original point, this morning I received an e-mail from amazon and someone wrote under my comment: "Well I'm sure Amazon likes your review, but this is supposed to be a book review." So, I being a smart ass, responded by saying: "Oh well Mark, I...

Excerpt: Grayish 2

Just thought I should take a new whole bunch of characters and write another one of these!  The Story begins in New York City. It was December 23 rd and people were running back and forth buying gifts in 34 th street. A couple of them stopped for a brief second to look at the displays and take pictures. In the middle of the crowd walked Rafael Ferrer. He had been rushing almost out of breath trying to catch up to his friend Ashley. Well, she was his friend for now. On Christmas night he was going to ask her to be his girlfriend. They had been working in the same office for three years and he was absolutely in love. “ Okay. I'll call you back I'm busy right now.” She closed the phone shut and sighed. “ Is everything okay?” Rafael asked as he fought through the crowd. “ Why don't you walk a little faster? I have things to do.” She said right before stopping dead in her tracks. Something in the display window caught her eyes. “Look at this.” Rafael stood behin...
