Rock Chick

India Savage mostly known as Indy has a tiny tiny problem with an employ  from her used bookstore/coffee store... he has a million in fucking stolen fucking diamonds.

Rosie her barista has a small side businesses including a smaller jungle of freaking pot... well, these guys that gave him diamonds wanted him to keep them for a time... but they have stolen them from some bad ass crime dude. The crime dudes goons come and want the diamonds back... and they have guns, so of course Indy has to mouth of. 

She calls her best friend Ally if there is someplace she can crash, and there is... at her brother Lee's place... only trouble the last 10 years Indy has been trying to avoid him like the plague, since she from 5-20 had a major crush on him... and at 20 he told her she was like a sister for him... so that broke her heart and she wants as little possible contact with him.
Ally says Lee isn't supposed to be home for a looooong time, but he turns up at night, tapes Rosie up and wakes Indy up.
The next morning Lee tells Indy that in payment for him helping her sort Rosie's shit out... she has to sleep with him... totally his little sister.

Well, after some kissing, Ally and Kitty Sue (Ally, Lee and Hank's mother) come over and Rosie has escaped.

And since Indy does not want to sleep with Lee, she does her best to find Rosie herself.

“Lee and I have a bet, the kind of bet I don’t wanna lose.” 

It wasn’t a total lie. If Lee found Rosie, I would lose a lot, peace of mind, my grip on reality, things like that.

First time it goes wrong is when she and Ally are having a stake out at Rosie's place Indy gets fucking stun gunned, kidnapped, hit in the face by a big guy and a young and really version of grandpa freaking Munster gets the hots for her... yuck yuck yuck

“It was nice to meet you,” Wilcox said calmly
I looked over my shoulder and said (perhapsfeeling a bit tougher now that Scary Lee was with me). “The pleasure was all yours.”

Next morning Lee and Indy have a heavy make out session on the border to sex... when the buzzer goes three quick and then a long beep -  emergency code
He leaves and here we go for yet another escapade to find Rosie.

 Lee has put one of his guys on Indy duty, Indy sees him and starts flirting, that ends with Lee calling her and telling her to leave the dude alone, telling her Fortnum's is wired, though under the thread that she will move to Venezuela.

She gets pissed - cause who wouldn't.
She and Ally (and Matt) go door to door and after that they go to visit "The Kevster" one of Rosie's emergency contacts, through no luck.

After that they meet Tex a guy that looks like Grizzly Adams, but the serial killer version. He was also carrying a shotgun and had some kind of freaky-ass goggle apparatus on the top of his head.

That night she decides to firstly stand Lee up on a date, then she breaks in at Tim's (another one of Rosie's (very few) friends) and Tex got the same idea and helps, inside they find something freaking gross... dead body

“I did the breakin’ and the enterin’ for both of us. After I did the breakin’, I threw her through the window,” Tex offered this information and Lee’s eyes cut to Tex.

“I’m sorry?” Lee asked and his voice was scary. 

Tex seemed not to notice it. “She was gettin’ second thoughts

They go back to Lee's condo have a smaller rip roaring fight where Indy decides to not go looking for Rosie anymore since - oh right she saw a fucking dead body.

He leaves... with her cuffed to the bed.

The next morning they almost make love, that comes to a halt when Indy wants to talk about if they fuck it up.
He gets pissed and kicks her out and then she gets pissed starts
yelling and Lee gets unpissed and they start gettin' it on again... and again they have to stop the happy activities, this time cause the doorbell "Urgent Code".
Indy's friend Andrea calls and talks about Lee's reputation.

Hank, Matt and another of Lee's men Bobby are there about the B&E though not knowing Indy was a part of it.
It turns out there was blood on the scene. Lee makes sure it isn't Indy's he makes her take her clothe off to check her.

“Was that really necessary?” I snapped.

He smiled The Smile, pleased with himself.

“Nope, but it was fun.”

And well it isn't her blood.

Later she takes time to reflect on everything while making macaroni salad... and Rosie shows up... with a gun, he shoots at Tod Indy's neighbor.

"We both didn’t want to leave you.” 

“So now you’re getting shot at, you’re gonna leave me?” 

“Girlie, I’m from Texas. We shoot at each other to say good morning. Now you’re getting shot at, we can’t go.”

She calls Lee and he comes over and a little later comes a gift from Terry "Grandpa Munster" Wilcox, it's a one thousand seven hundred fifty dollar dress. 

Well they go to the family barbecue... and walk in 15 minutes late. And Lee gets pissed at Indy cause she says that her father isn't on team Lee+Indy and that he hated all her boyfriends and that he would rather have her be with Hank, Lee's brother... maybe not the smartest move.
He leaves, someone knocks on the door... and Indy gets kidnapped... again.

She gets saved by Tex that throws a grenade inside (I think it's a smoke grenade).
The kidnappers shoot at them one of them (Rick  a.k.a. Pepper Shooter) nails Tex's shoulder. Indy being more or less traumatized by the incident she doesn't want to leave him like at all.

“Now you’re bein’ a girl,” Tex said. 

“Soon you’ll be slobberin’ on me. It’s just a shot to the shoulder. Shit,I’ve had worse than this.”

They go to the hospital where they get interviewed by the cops. Indy does also get an intimate relationship with her kneecaps while waiting for Tex's operation to be over.

Indy after thinking about something Lee said finds out he has been lying to her the whole time... Oh fuck, poor Lee. Indy ends it with him... as if.

She leaves to go to sleep in the couch, but of course Lee isn't gonna let that happen.
They get to he story telling/apologizing part of pissed of, and everything is fine in paradise.

Next morning Lee is off hunting - and not little furry creatures.

Fortnum's is supposed to be closed, but Duke opened it anyways and there is a Rosie riot, Indy goes to smooth it all out, she ends up making a story up about him going to El Salvador to building houses for the poor... out of mud... UUHHMM... What!?!?!?!?!

Something like this I guess

Well, after this bizarre speech Mr. & Mrs. Kumar show up also
with an almost mummy like person turning out to be Mr. Salim Mrs. Kumar's mother.

"...They were standing in front of Ally and I gave them a big thumbs up. In slow motion, old Mrs. Salim returned the gesture and I feared that her thumb would break off in a poof of dust like the zombie’s arm in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.."

And she gets a rescue call from the Kevster, a scary guy had been there, he is sure he will be back and he will die just like Tim.
So Indy being Indy goes there cause he doesn't like cops... It's a pot jungle, literally pot all over the place

"I turned and saw that The Kevster’s living room was filled with pot plants. 

Every surface was covered with plants, and that included the floor. 

There was a narrow path forged through the plants but other than that, it was wall-to-wall marijuana. It was a pot jungle."

Indy wants to move the pot to Rosie's place before calling the cops... Hank of course does not think that is a good idea, since him being a cop and all.

Just after the cops show they have to pick up Tex that got released from the hospital
They get him home and do cleaning thing, cat things and  a mix of both, when they leave Tex comes with cause he is a sad man (he is also crazy) and he needs a hobby... other than cats

“Listen man, I been on this block for twenty years without leavin’ except to go to the fuckin’ dentist when I had a toothache in 1998. I got off it last night and for the first time in years, I feel free.” 

They get to Indy's place and practically everybody is there. They go of to get pizza before Tod/Burgundy Rose (Tod's drag queen alter ego) show. So they all go to a gay bar including Tex, Lee and Hank... weeeell

“No one and I mean no one but Indy’s Hunk of Burning Love would be allowed to see me this way. You talk, you die.”  - Midway in Burgundy Rose transformation

Well in the middle of the show Tod gets Indy on scene and pepper Rick shows up and starts shooting to the place.
She is in a car with Ally and Tex when they see him escaping so they have the brilliant of having a high speed car chase.

They almost crash, but only almost Ally and Indy get in a shouting match after that is over the parents get there Malcolm (Nightingale dad) starts shouting at Ally and when he is done, her boyfriend Carl gets there and he starts shouting at her... definitely not Ally's night

Next morning there is a dead body on Fortnum's front door... a gift!?
The cops show up and Lee and of course Fortnums is closed,Indy goes to Tex's place and and Allt gives her a manicure.

And they talk about Indy+Lee. After manis and confessions of the heart she goes home and waters
Stevie's flowers.

I’m sorry about last night.”

“I’m not sure I forgive you, though Tod says you threw yourself on top of him to protect him from bullets so I guess I’m not so mad. Tod thought it was a blast. Says it reminded him of home.”

“The way Tod tells it, I don’t think I want to go to Texas.”

She goes to Lee's place and starts making his favorite food... but he never shows. Indy doesn't get angry though since she prepared for that since the work schedule isn't very nine-to-five. He finally comes home around midnight and they finally get down to business. After being done they start eating. but Lee being all macho man  goes for round two.

The next morning they get in an agreement that Indy can help with conditions - of course.
Indy finds out he read her diaries, so she gets pissed at him. And last but not least he gets her to move in by the weekend.

There is a crazy Italian dude, he turns out to be a  present from Terry, they sort it out by Tex being Tex.
After that situation is handled they go to Lee's office in LoDo she meets Dawn, Monty and Vance. She kinna flirts with Vance which pisses Lee of.

They keep on the quest to find Rosie...

Stars:

It's hilarious alright, I love Tex he is so fucking crazy... he is just a nut job
And the fact it seems to be impossible for Indy to not get in trouble.
Lee is hot alright
But it's the Terry thing that kind of turns me off this book

What can you use this book for in real life:
Love is crazy and weird but somehow it works.

Long live mom'n'pop shops

Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptun

"THE SNAKE-HAIRED LADIES WERE starting to annoy Percy.
They should have died three days ago when he dropped a crate of bowling balls on them at the Napa Bargain Mart. They should have died two days ago when he ran over them with a police car in Martinez. They definitely should have died this morning when he cut off their heads in Tilden Park."

They are beautiful, right?

Percy has a couple of problems:

1. 2 gorgons are trying to kill him and have for days
2. He is going somewhere, he is not really sure where the end destination is
3. He has amnesia

"Percy hated tests. Since he’d lost his memory, his whole life was one big fill-in-the-blank. He was ____________________, from ____________________. He felt like ____________________, and if the monsters caught him, he’d be ____________________."

He comes to a hill... and he is trapped.

Snake lady's come, they try to kill him and he jumps of the hill on a metal tray... just a normal day for a demi-god

"As he fell toward the highway, a horrible scenario flashed through his mind: his body smashing against an SUV’s windshield, some annoyed commuter trying to push him off with the wipers. Stupid sixteen-year-old kid falling from the sky! I’m late!"

He gets to the highway without dying... an incredible task by it self.

U get the idea

There he meet's "the goddess of smelly, heavy, useless hippies", it's actually Juno in disguise.
He carries her all the way to Camp Jupiter, where one of the two guards that where at the gate gets caught by a gorgon, Percy does his thing with water and saves Frank.

Old bag lady becomes Juno everybody is in awe and all, but Percy is Percy and shows no respect what so ever.

He gets taken to the principia (Roman version HQ) he talks with Reyna praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata,then he gets send to the Augur... that by the way is a creep and the stuff in teddy bear nightmares.

He meet's Nico DiAngelo (... again)  at Pluto's shrine 

They talk and Percy thinks he knows him, but he isn't sure for obvious reasons.

Hazel talks with her brother "the oh so brooding" Nico, we find out she was dead for 70 years before coming back to the world of the living.

They have a initiation thing with Percy, Hazel stands up for him and he gets put in the fifth cohort

“Thanks, Hazel,” he said. “Um, what exactly does it mean—your standing for me?” 

“I guarantee your good behavior,” Hazel explained. “I teach you the rules, answer your questions, make sure you don’t disgrace the legion.” 

“And…if I do something wrong?” 

“Then I get killed along with you,” Hazel said. “Hungry? Let’s eat.” 

Then they play war game - the fifth wins - Mars shows up and claims Frank as his son - much to Franks dismay.
They get send on a quest (no wonder) to save Death... in Alaska the land beyond the gods... where Hazel died... raising an immortal giant... that can't die... Well, let's see how that goes.

The only help they get from the Romans are the "great" roman navy... one old rowboat called Pax.

They row out to no man's land cause Hazel  is having a blackout like thing - she relives her life... old life - in no man's land Hazel gets kidnapped by a grass field...????

"HAZEL WAS AN EXPERT ON WEIRD. She’d seen her mother possessed by an earth goddess. She’d created a giant out of gold. She’d destroyed an island, died, and come back from the Underworld.

But getting kidnapped by a field of grass? That was new."

She escapes by summoning a pile of schist... did i forget to mention she can summon all the riches from the earth... with the little problem that if you touch them you die.

The guys rescue her, they see the armies in their way to Camp Jupiter, Percy gets a freak out so the go to a little shop close by... they only have to fight 3 basilisks.
They reach the place it is partially owned by Iris the rainbow goddess (BTW, she is thinking about becoming a Buddhist...???). Frank gets advice from Iris slays the basilisk with his dragon tooth spear.

They go on Portland to visit Phineas a blind man that sees the future, he also gets the title of seriously mother fucking creeper.

They  find a harpy named Ella Phineas wants, but they won't give her up so the make a bet with the dude that sees the future.
They have 2 vials with gorgon blood one from each side one cures all the other gives you a painful death.

Percy makes Gaea trick Phineas into choosing the wrong vial, they get the location of where Death is kept prisoner and of they go to Seattle to Amazon territory.
They get taken prisoners, escape on a untamable horse faster then the speed of sound, they ride all the way to Franks grandmothers house, outside a large quantity of "Canadians" - Laistrygonians -  and again dragon tooth spear to the rescue.

They get to the house, Mars is there and they have a loving father-to-son talk, Frank finds out about the family "power" he can change shape...Nice!!

They fight a smaller war on top of grandmas house they escape take a plane to Alaska.

Here they take a train and get attacked by griffins and get saved by sliding under the butt of a cute blue giant.

 Well and of the go to the city where Hazel lived last before she died and yet again get attacked, but
Arion saves their asses and get them to Death prison.

Of they go up the glacier to face a immortal giant and an army of ghost... nothing can go wrong.
Well, Hazel fights the giant, Frank melts Death chains and Percy faces an army.

Frank releases Death, helps Hazel by turning into a giant bear, they take "Golden boy" to Canada where he can be killed (He is immortal in his birth place...country or something).

They kill the giant find Percy get a golden carriage and a lot of deadly gold weapons.
They go back to Camp Jupiter in a couple of hours. They get in the fight and destroy all of their
enemies.

It is a really good book and all it just has these... moments.
The first time in the presence of Octavian, actually him in general pisses me off
Thanatos is creepy and confusing
But in general a really good boom i love the whole Hazel/Frank thing (I'm a hopeless romantic) I also love Annabeth being Percy's only memory.
The whole back from the dead and the blackouts gives the story an interesting spin.
Franks burned wood stick and the whole old roots and magic make him an extremely interesting person in the book.
Gaea waking of course makes the quest even harder and therefore more interesting.

What can you use this book for in real life:
No secret is too big to share with friends, if they are real friends they will protect the secret the best they are capable of

A real life with pain, suffering but also possibilities are better than living a lie and sheltered from the pain of the world.


Nothing is impossible the word it self says "I'm possible"  - Audrey Hepburn

Violins of Autumn

“You do know them! You will give us their locations! You will tell us where the weapon drops take place!” 

I spit a mouthful of water on the floor in the direction of the shiny pair of army boots I see there. 

I draw a long breath. 

Down I go again.Garbled voices bounce back and forth above me. 

I strain against the chains, screaming on the inside. Fear eats what little oxygen I have left. 

I am about to drown.  

There is nothing I can do about it."

And that is how the prologue ends...

It took me two tries to start reading it, but when you get in to it, it's a really good book.

Betty... Well actually Adele is a spy for the allied, she is specifically a carrier, bikes around with info, money and other...

In the first chapter she jumps out of a helicopter... and that goes more or less wrong... and just a side comment but are you people Bat Shit Crazy??

"I realize just then that this mission won’t be “like dropping into an easy chair,” as I was told. Somehow I fell for that line at the time. 

Now it sounds like pure nonsense. All I have to do is drop into foreign country, aid and train members of the ever-growing Resistance movement, sabotage railways, travel the country on a bicycle while concealing top-secret information, blow things up, and try not to get killed. 

Sure, easy as pie. 

Things already seem to be going wrong, and I haven’t even reached the ground yet."

She lands in a forest instead of a field as she thought she should, and the first french man she meets think girls ain't worth the same

“They sent us more girls? Girls. Again. My God.” 

Pierre’s pointed French words burst my bubble like tiny arrows. “How do they expect us to get our country back when all they do is send us these flimsy little girls?”

Well, hello to you, Mr. Misogynistic pig.

They stay in Pierre's farm house a little out of Paris. They stay there for a day or so, then they take there bikes... but first they meet Pilot, his actual name is Robbie but to begin with they just call him Pilot.
They make a stop at Pierre's moms brothers place... And it gets raided by "The German bastards", but Rat tells them so they can get their cute self's out in time.
They ride most the way to Paris when the meet  couple of Germans, Denise (another spy) and Robbie drive on like a couple, Adele drives slowly after them... but the Germans have a flat so she has to give her bike away... she gets a lift from a nice Dr. François Devereux... BTW his wife is a BITCH.

The safe house she is supposed to get to is... compromised.

She goes to François house, he gets her to Estelle a lady that takes people in... what ever that means

“Why did you introduce me to that German officer?” I ask, rubbing my achy arms. 

“Now, in his mind, you are my great-niece, Adele. He will not waste time inquiring about you, as he might if we had said nothing. You will fade from his view and he will move on to someone else. If you behave as though you are keeping secrets, the Germans will suspect you are keeping secrets.” 

I can see why Dr. Devereux likes this woman."

Well she goes there and becomes good friends with the granddaughter Marie, one day she spots Robbie outside a shop... and she goes to the rescue when a couple of asshole soldiers use him as a punching bag...

Well, she gets back on track with her spying... They have headquarters in the catacombs... Pretty cool... literally, think meeting in an underground mass grave being able to see the skulls and bones... uhm, no thanks.

“... Are you with me, Adele?”

“I am, sir. But I no longer have a bicycle. I gave it to the Germans.” 

“That’s a lavish gift. Before the war I could have bought myself a car for less than the cost of a bicycle now. For what reason did you give yours up, girl?” 

“Well, I wanted to live, sir.” 

“That’s reason enough, I suppose"

She starts to get in contact with an other spy "Anna", in her first rendezvous... kind of spy messenger gives to another messenger, does not go that well... she kind of forgets the secret word... but she gets it done, after that she has her routine with it... until one day Anna doesn't show up. And there is this guy that is following her... turns out he wanted to ask her out

"While a kind man was working up the nerve to ask me on a date, I was working up the nerve to kill him with my bare hands."

Adele is spying on a German fabric, there is a guard that spots her... which end with him promising her a tour around the factory three days later, but she has to draw a picture of his dog Zugar... that by the way seams kind of cute in the "If I'm told I would kill you" kind of way

 Robbie is hiding at a safe house for "downed airmen" (crashed pilots). After he gets his papers they start walking around Paris... where they are followed by Shepherd, a spy that was caught around 0.00000001 second after he landed.

The girls get asked out by a couple of German soldiers... and let me say I have heard about some really bad dates... this was even worse:

1. Adele gets kind of drunk... after 3 glasses of champagne
2. The guys insult the Brits... Denise get all kinds of pissed
3. And Robbie comes to say goodbye...and that he loves her...

“I’ll miss you, Adele. I’m falling in love with you.” 

“Robbie, you don’t love me. In two weeks’ time you’ll be back with your squadron, where you belong. I’ll be just a fading memory. Someone you knew during your adventure in France.” 

“No, Adele.” He takes my hand again and holds it firmly in his. “My feelings for you are real. I won’t forget you. Not when I get back to my squadron. Not ever. And when all this is over, I’ll do whatever it takes to find you again.” 

“Robbie, you have to go now. Please don’t think about me anymore.” 

“But Adele—” 

“I mean it. Concentrate on getting home to your family,” I said, falling to pieces inside. “Stay safe.”  

That is the saddest scene in the book, cause they are so fucking cute together. And of course she breaks both of their hearts...

The next day she goes to Denise's place they have their girl problems as any girl have with her best friend, but it ends rather quickly... cause, oh right they are spy's in war.

And Adele tells Denise about François wife.

"One of my contacts, the doctor I told you about who drove me to Paris, he’s married to a Nazi sympathizer. She was at the Commodore last night. Wearing a German officer.” 

“She’ll get what’s coming to her.” 

“Do you think so?” 

“Haven’t you heard of karma?”

On her way back she stops at a citron pressé  where Anna shows up and gives her a  cork with a message:

"Safe houses compromised. Being followed. Cover irreparably blown. Suspected leak within circuit. Watch your back. Trust no one."

And the girls promise that they can at least always trust each other... and of course you promise that even if you are a double agent... am I the only one thinking that... but hell alone in another country, that if anyone finds out from where you are will probably kill you, it must be a little comforting with at least someone to trust.

She comes to get her tour... but she can't really take notes so she simply has to remember

"May I first say hello to Zucker?” I ask.
I mimic the mispronunciation of boarding school students reciting German for the first time to say, “Hello, Zucker. You are a very good and intelligent dog.”
The praise is part of my act, but I really mean it.
“Did you learn that phrase so you could speak to Zucker?” Gerhard asks.
“I did,” I say, laughing. “Do I need more practice?”
With a polite smile he says, “Yes."

She goes back to the Resistance with her knowledge about the fabric... and of course they plan an attack...

“The factory is producing gun carriers and turrets for German Panzer tanks,” I say. 

Marcus rushes ahead of me to the table. “Panzers! Pierre, did you hear that?” 

“Yes, I heard her. How do you know this?” 

“I toured the factory this morning.”  

 “You toured the factory?”

“Yes.” 

“And how did you manage that?” 

“They mistook me for a student.” 

“They mistook you for a child and then showed you around? I don’t believe it."

Sorry, it was just kind of hilarious, and I simply had to put it in.


But well, she gets to train the newbies and there is this extreme misogynistic asshole... even bigger than Pierre I will just say that itself is an accomplishment... and she shoots him, or to be more precise the tree he is leaning against... and he runs to tell "Daddy" Pierre.
But Pierre simply says the guy has to follow orders... muhahaha... that sounded more evil in my head.

 Later she meets with Bishop and a couple of newbie spy's... seriously one of them talks fucking English in German land... Idiot... and the other has a terrible accent... and Bishop want's her to take one of them in and she goes all commando... so many kinds of awesome

"“Adele, I can’t have Benjamin and Agnes residing in the same house,” Cammerts says. “Agnes will spend a portion of her time with you.”My head snaps up. The agent who spoke English in a public place is going to stay with me? I wouldn’t dream of putting Estelle and her family’s lives at risk. Not for anyone or anything, but especially not for this careless woman I just met. She is not my problem and not my responsibility. I have to draw the line.“No,” I tell him.“Pardon me, Adele?”“I won’t do it. Everyone makes mistakes, but I don’t think Agnes will learn from hers. I can’t take a chance on someone who’s not cut out for this.”"

And the next thing we know Gestapo is after them... and catches them... but of course they escape.
They go back to Pierre's place get the message

“The long sobs of the violins of autumn.”

Meaning the great D-Day is coming... The Invasion Day
and they blow the telephone lines up... BOOM... And Adele losses her hearing for a time, not long but still it must suck and Pierre kisses her... just for your information

Shepherd turns up with this new guy Frank, he is apparently a downed airman... but he isn't me almost kills Denise for her radio... well that ends wit him getting dead... Oh and Pierre shot Shepherd after Adele told Bishop she thought he was double.

“Hi, Pierre.” On the table in front of him is a bottle of red wine. “It’s a little early for wine, isn’t it?”
He brings the bottle to his merlot-tinged lips. When I enter the room he offers it to me.
“You might want to drink this,” he says.
“Why?” Something is very wrong. Pierre refuses to look me in the face. “What happened?”
He takes another long swig. “I killed Shepherd.”

“I’m upset because I’ve become hardened to the things that should sicken me.” He stares out the window. “My life was never perfect, but it was peaceful. It was good. Our family was happy. I’ve seen more misery in the past four years than I did in the eighteen years before them. I don’t know how I got from that time to this one, in which I’m willing to kill a man. What if when this part of my life is over, I’m unable to go back to the person I was? What if I’m damaged forever?”

 Later we find out Denise has abilities as a psychic since she an "sense" the second part of the D-Day transmission will come... and it did.
They blow up the factory... but the Germans shoot Pierre and capture Adele...
She gets tortured first at Gestapo head quarters then at a prison...

It is really good, just the torture scenes are really gruesome and nightmare worthy... I have a bad habit reading at shit o'clock at night...
And there kind of happens a little to much at the same time a little hard to follow at times

Such a Rush

Leah is 14 year old, has lived her whole life in a trailer in South California.
At 14 she ducks under the fence and in to the airport to get a job... and learn to fly.
She forges her mothers signature to get flying lessons with Mr. Hall... actually she pretty much demands the lessons.

3 1/2 years later Mr. Halls is dead and his sons Alec and Grayson are taking over the business, Leah thinks it won't last so she says no to the job cause she want's to have a steady job... but of course Grayson won't take no for an answer... so he blackmails her with the forged signature... to work for him and date Alec... fucked up right??

Well, that goes more or less fine until a party at Francie Mahoney’s house, that she dosn't wanna go to... so she dresses like a slut, to show how much she doesn't wanna go, and there it all goes to hell
... or at least for Leah.
Her ex-boyfriend comes on to her... which ends with Grayson pulling him off her and being extremely rude... like more than his usual jackass self.

“Are you drunk?” Grayson asked.“No,” I said haughtily. “That, among other

things, is a condition of my employment.”“Stoned?”“No.”“Then why did you get within a hundred feet of Mark?”

"I shifted my go-to-hell look to Molly. “And I’m sorry you’re not enjoying it. You told Grayson and Alec last night that you decided to be my friend instead of sticking with Ryan because I’m so fun and brazen for a poor girl. Now you’re saying you don’t want me to dress like a whore and stick up for myself when you drag me to a party thrown by your bitch friend who hates me and calls me trash to my face every time she sees me. You need to make up your mind, girlfriend, how you like your charity case.”

There is a tornado... Grayson comes to get her... that ends with a hot make out session in the basement... but Grayson still want's her to keep working Alec so she gets pissed and kicks him out.
The next day Leah, Grayson, Alec and Molly go to the beach to surf... only problem Leah can't surf... or swim... or drive a car.
So she and Grayson have a Heart-to-Heart and another make out session... but he still wants her working Alec... can i just say I think he is one HOTT jackass asshole scumbag assclown fuckward... why is it always the hott ones??!?!?!!?!?

Well, the next day we find out why Grayson wants her to hook up with Alec...

And Leah's mom comes for a visit... to tell that they are moving to California... that afternoon and makes everything go not to hell, but pretty close... Leah has never changed the story she told her mother at 14 that she spent time with her boyfriend the airport, when she was getting flying lessons... and that boyfriend was Grayson.

So they find out about that she freaks and gets her ass out as fast as she can.

Later that night Grayson comes over... they have sex, but he has to leave so Alec doesn't know he has been there... you guessed right he still want's her to work Alec... uhm, but let me get this straight you want the girl you just fucked to keep going out with your brother... well excuse me but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!!!!

It ends with her demanding he tell Alec or she  will... but that won't be necessary since he already knows... Molly told, they have history... and he blames her for not being able to be with Molly...Yaay

She confronts Molly and Molly tells her she is a liar and isn't good enough to be a pilot...

Oh and Grayson fired her... the night after  they had sex... yes guys he did that. Asshole.

So she ends up in a plane with her ex-boyfriend, current asshole adrenalin junkie, he gets pissed at her, doesn't watch where he is flying and crashes in to a tree and gets knocked out, she starts the flying but with a damaged plane there isn't much you can do so she crashes...

It all ends fantastic with sugar on top with hearts, rainbows and dancing fucking unicorns.


Stars:4.5
How come anger toward anyone in books can be solved with a "I'm sorry" and some tears... that is not how it happens in real fucking life, we hold dammed grudges, can't get our head out our asses and can stay angry about some little stupid thing for fucking ages, seriously if my best friend told me i wasn't good enough to have my dream job because i was blackmailed to do something, there is no chance she would anything out of me other than "kiss my ass" and "go fuck yourself".'

I would do pretty much anything for my dream and protect the possibility,  Leah had it the same way, she wanted to be a pilot, so she did what she had to so that wouldn't be jeopardized .. oh and who falls i love with their blackmailer , i know she had a crush on him since 14, but really girl, there are 2 a man who loves a girl doesn't do: beat/rape her and blackmail her or just in general makes her do something she don't want to do... like, lets say DATE HIS FUCKING BROTHER.


What can you use this book for in real life:
Take a chance and it might lead to something better...maybe something like love.

And never go flying with adrenalin junkies it might get you killed

Percy Jackson and the Titans Curse

"The Friday before winter break, my mom packed me an overnight bag and a few deadly weapons, and took me to a new boarding school."

You can already hear the action around the next page.

Well they come to Westover Hall that gets described as

"Westover Hall looked like an evil knight’s castle. It was all black stone, with towers and slit windows and a big set of wooden double doors."

The vice principal is an evil monster that works for Luke and The General... and of course he wants to kill them... Oh did I mention they where there to get a couple of Half bloods to Camp Half-Blood, Nico and Bianca DiAngelo.

"He looked like he wanted to  pitch us off the castle’s highest tower"

Well that mission goes to hell since Annabeth gets kidnapped, Bianca joins the hunt... A group of immortal 12-14 year olds that travel the world with Artemis and hunt... and they make an oat never to have a guy in there life... I would do it if not for that.

And Artemis leaves her hunt to find a monster that will destroy Olympus... nothing can go wrong right.

"You know what the monster is?’ I asked.
Artemis gripped her bow. ‘Let us pray I am wrong.’
‘Can goddesses pray?’ I asked, because I’d never really thought about that.
A flicker of a smile played across Artemis’s lips."

Well before she does that she calls her lovely brother Apollo god of the sun and music, that actually has the sun chariot... in the form of a red convertible Maserati Spyder... and a mini bus.

"‘Wow,’ Thalia muttered. ‘Apollo is hot.’
‘He’s the sun god,’ I said.
‘That’s not what I meant.’"

"‘Green grass breaks through snow. Artemis pleads for my help. I am so cool.’

That last line was only four syllables,’ Artemis said.
Apollo frowned. ‘Was it?’ 

‘Yes. What about I am so big-headed?’ 

‘No, no, that’s six syllables. Hmm. 

‘I’ve got it!’ Apollo announced. ‘I am so awesome. That’s five syllables!’"

Apollo gets Thalia to drive... which doesn't go that well since she torches a cute little town...  and she makes an emergency landing... in the middle of the lake at Camp Half-Blood.

"The bus bobbed to the surface along with a couple of capsized, half-melted canoes. 

‘Well,’ said Apollo with a brave smile. ‘You were right, my dear. You had everything under control! 

Let’s go see if we boiled anyone important, shall we?’"

 They come to the camp and Nico is his normal happy, way to enthusiastic self, and Grover becomes an stalker with cloves.

 "About three in the morning she came to the Big House and demanded to talk to Chiron. She looked really panicked.’‘Wait, how do you know this?’Grover blushed. ‘I was sort of camped outside the Artemis cabin.’‘What for?’‘Just to be, you know, near them.’‘You’re a stalker with hooves."

They have a "friendly" game of capture the flag... that ends with Thalia not talking to Percy, and the Oracle walking all the way down to the forest to give Zoë a prophecy.

Percy has to save an cow-serpent from an old fisher net on the bottom of the sea.
On his way back he finds Nico eavesdropping on Zoë and Bianca, and Nico asks him to look after Bianca an the quest to save Artemis...even when he was forbidden, since he is a boy... great observation Zoë.

He takes blackjack and flies all the way to Washington D.C. and there he learns how to grow zombie kittens  and evil fucking killer zombies...  that get his scent and since they can't get killed, he is pretty doomed.

And well the rest of the company is in the Smithsonian where they get attacked by the nemian lion... that has a impeccable defense... nothing can pierce it's skin, guess how Percy killed it... with astronaut food.

He becomes the fifth member of the quest.
After that they take a train to a little town you can't get away... a little Hotel California.
Well they get away on a giant pig, it takes them all the way to the desert where they meet Aphrodite , Ares and a giant metal robot that kills one of our brave heroes.

They get to the hoover dam, where they start a food war to escape the zombie warriors, that only Bianca can kill, no one really knows why.

"Let us find the dam snack bar,’ Zoë said. ‘We should eat while we can.’
Grover cracked a smile. ‘The dam snack bar?’
Zoë blinked. ‘Yes. What is funny?’
‘Nothing,’ Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. ‘I could use some dam French fries.’
Even Thalia smiled at that. ‘And I need to use the dam restroom.’
Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoë just looked at us. ‘I do not understand.’"

But before escaping he meets Rachel Elizabeth Dare, that is a mortal... but she can see threw the Mist.

They reach San Francisco, and mount Tamalpais, where the 4 hesperides  live... Zoe's sisters...
