5 Star Review - Lovely Vicious Trilogy by Sara Wolf -OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!

4.5 Stars!!! WOWW!

I dont know what to say! I dont know how to feel! Do I Like this trilogy, love this trilogy, or is this trilogy my biotch! Im a mess, im wrecked, im....

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF THE LITERARY GODS!!! Sara Wolf has managed to put me back in the "book high" that I never ever want to come down from!!! She has done it again, brilliantly, at that. I've got admit, waiting for Brutal Precious for almost 6 months was such sweet torture! Add to the fact that the publication date was moved due to some issues. I was seriously devastated! BUT! Lo and behold, this book was very much worth the wait! It did not fail me, and it went past and rocketed my expectations! AHHHHHH! I LOVE THIS BOOK! AHHHH I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE OVER!!!

EARLY WARNING: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN A WHOLE LOT OF QUOTES FROM THE BOOK BECAUSE COME ON!!! IT'S SO BRILLIANT!!!! And oh yeah...it may also contain little bits of spoilers if you haven't read the second book. BUT YEAH PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR FLOODING THIS REVIEW WITH MANY DIALOGUES AND LINES FROM THE BOOK! I mean, you can't blame me, right? This starts off a little over after Sophia's death. I must say the ending of Savage Delight left me utterly speechless. It was really tragic, and of course it is no surprise that after that situation, every character is highly affected because of it.

"East Summit High sort of wilted after Sophia died."

...And most especially our one and only Ice Prince Jack Hunter.

"I shivered looking at him. He wasn’t putting on the lifeless, emotionless act anymore. He just was lifeless. He was empty. The spark had been sucked out of his eyes, leaving pale shells behind. His entire body, his entire physical presence seemed like a shell – an illusion made of mirrors and brittle frost that would shatter at the slightest touch. He was chilling to look at; like something that shouldn’t still be living, or still moving. A mannequin. A zombie puppet."

Isis tried her best to bring life back to Jack, but it seemed like an impossible case. He eventually left and disappeared, leaving his friends, family, and especially Isis worried and much more miserable than ever before.

“It’s over,” he said, too calmly. “What is?” I asked, my stomach roiling. He pushed off the wall and walked away with one last word. “Everything.”

BUT NUH-UH!!! NO NO NO!!! IT IS DEFINITELY NOT OVER!!! Once again, just when Isis was adjusting to her new college life, and being the independent and crazy girl she is, as well as being bullied by "Nameless" (Ugh I hate Will so much!)...MR. ICE PRINCE JACK HUNTER MCHOTTIE PANTS STRUTS HIS HOT BODY BACK AGAIN INTO ISIS' LIFE AND SAVES THE DAY!

"And, like the bomb she is, just seeing Isis again blew cracks in that dam, and she’s going to see me through the cracks, the real me, she’s going to see me like no one else has, like I’m pretending not to be, broken and dead inside and I have to leave, have to compose myself, but she doesn’t let me pull away, wrapping her arms tight around my waist and keeping me pressed against her, against her warmth and smell and her understanding silence."

Seriously, that scene was just...WOW! You can feel the bittersweet tension! But being reunited never felt so good!

"She is here, she is within reach. She is real and corporeal and angry with me. Maybe she’s never not been angry with me, and that’s why it feels right. We have always been at odds. We have always clashed. After months of feeling wrong, this - staring down my hellion (mine? No, I threw the chance to call her mine away.) – is the only thing that has felt right. The planets are in place, the last clockgear snaps into motion, and the world begins to turn again, as is proper and right."

And just a tad bit funny! HAHA!

"Everything happens all the time forever, and this would be a terrifying concept if I wasn’t so enlightened and in-tune with the natural forces of the universe, which include but aren’t limited to; A. taco salad, B. taco salad, and C. my own glorious ass (glorioass). Which increases in size directly proportionately to how much taco salad is in the area. Science has come so far."

But of course, much to my frustration, they still try to push each other away, especially Jack. And of course, add Will Cavanaugh meddling with their lives and problems of the past into the picture.Isis was like:

"All I can do is hope, and move on. I can’t wait around. I have my own life to live. I just wish things had turned out differently, is all. Not like, us dating. Because that would be horribly, stupidly selfish slash impossible in the face of Sophia’s death."

And Jack was like:

"It’s either a testament to her infuriatingly persistent personality, or a testament to my unwillingness to let go of the last few moments in my life I recall being truly happy. Happy? I’m unsure if I was ever happy, even with her. It’s a mishmash of fuzzy memories and stolen moments of tenderness, all laced with the searing edge of guilt that is Sophia’s face. Maybe I was happy. But it’s pointless. There’s no real value in being happy. There’s no real value in something that doesn’t last."

And there friends were like:

"It’s hard, I get it. After everything that’s happened…I don’t know what it’s like, but it’s gotta be hard. And I’m sorry. But he really likes you, Isis. And you really like him. And you guys are like, really interesting together and you light each other up in a weird, symbiotic way. And life is short. Sophia taught us that. And I think you deserve a shot at each other before you write each other off completely out of misguided martyrdom."

And Charlie was like:

“You’re distracting him. You’re a goddamn distraction he doesn’t need right now."

And Nameless aka Will was like:

“You were a fat, fucking ugly bitch! You were lucky I even let you hang around! You were so fucking lucky I even wanted to touch your fat, stinking carcass! No one else did. No one else does. Not even that fucking pretty boy. He’s just fucking you because he pities you. He sees how pathetic and ugly you are, and he’s taking pity on your piggy ass!”

AND I WAS JUST LIKE:Somehow, they start all over again by rebuilding their friendship...But, we all know what happens when you try to just be friends with someone you really really REALLY love like...

"If I open my mouth, the darkest spear of secrets would pierce her through. I love you."

"I want you. I want you as more than a friend. I want you in my arms, in my bed, where you’ll be safe and ecstatic and all mine. I want to show you how good a kiss can be. I want to show you life isn’t always suffering – it’s pleasure, too. My brain screams it, but my mouth never moves, condemning me to silence. I have to be stone. The slightest crack, and I’ll spill my every secret at her feet – that I crave her like a parched plant craves the rain. That the only time I feel alive – honestly, radiantly alive - is when I see her purple streaks, the outline of her shoulders, her smile."

Okay, I just really have to say this. I SERIOUSLY LOVE ISIS AND JACK TOGETHER!!! They definitely make up the most unusual couple, and I think that is what sets them apart. They'll be sweet in a minute, but then start bickering and fighting at the very next second. And can I just say that their fights are the most adorable!!! They're like one of my favorite book OTPs! Their connection is something else, and I just can't help but want to have a relationship like they have! They are just...THE BOMB! Yes okay, I got seriously frustrated when they just didn't give in to their desire for each other, but the all the sexual tension and the waiting was worth it. The way they came back to each other was so magical and sweet and funny and just perfect.

"I love you...I’m sorry. I’m sorry for saying it, but I love you. And you don’t have to...you don’t have to do anything, or say anything, I mean, I could just drive you home right after this if you never want to talk to me again, I’d understand, because girls saying I love you is something you get a lot and you hate it, I bet, but I realized a lot of things lately and the biggest thing is that I probably love you, I’m not sure, but I think so, and it’s not very romantic or confident to not be sure, but I barely even know what love is, I just sort of learned a bit of the definition, but I know that what I feel for you fits that tiny bit, and I want to learn more, and I think you would help me learn, but also I just love you, no weird creepy learning involved, I just love you, you stupid idiot..."

I love the way they show their affection to each other. It's definitely extraordinary, for sure! You wouldn't know whether they'd kiss each other senselessly or start kicking each other! Man, it was the best!Yes, I am a sucker for love-hate relationships!AND HELL TO THE YEAH! THIS BOOK GAVE ME A SERIOUSLY MASSIVE LAUGHING FIT!!! DAMN THIS BOOK WAS SO HILARIOUS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF ISIS' ANTICS AND DIALOGUES!

It’s a fun and unique experience. There’s a lot of sand. I trip on a rock and stub my toe so hard I possibly now have weird deformed hobbit feet. I feel like vomiting. A seagull almost shits on my arm. “It’s okay, buddy!” I shade my eyes and look up at the sky. “Luckily for you, I am both stunningly good-looking and benevolent. I forgive you!”

------

They’ll define the rest of my career slash life slash future prospects with Johnny Depp. I have to start taking things mildly seriously, now! Ugh! Just the word sends shivers down my spine. Serious. Seeeerious. Cereal-ous. Trix are for kids. College is not for kids. College is for grown-ups. I don’t feel like a grown-up.

I also liked all the characters! They all had fun and appealing personalities, even the secondary ones! Well, everyone except Will! This book also tackled loss and coping, forgiveness, friendship, realization of reality, family ties, and of course, finding one's self. Definitely all-in-one! AND OMG THE FACT THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN IN BOTH ISIS' AND JACK'S POV WAS TOTALLY AND UTTERLY BRILLIANT! I just loved getting inside their heads! It was beyond amazing! Seriously, you can never go wrong with this series! And oh yeah, Jack Hunter... What this book taught me: I can't wait for Sara Wolf's upcoming works! This series gave me one of the best times of my life! This is definitely part of my "SERIOUSLY BRILLIANT SERIES" category! AHHHH I DON'T KNOW!!!! I JUST WANT TO BABBLE ON HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! FIVE FREAKING BRUTAL PRECIOUS STARS!!!
