Juliet Immortal Book Review!

So I recently finished the book Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay. It was a lot better than I expected. I found this book on goodreads.com. This book had just been published so I got my hands on it pretty quickly, especially being from the library. It was a random decision because I loved the cover and the title. I love Romeo and Juliet so when I saw something that seemed to relate to Romeo and Juliet, I wanted to give it a try. The cover is ravishing, it is so pretty. I started this book over Thanksgiving break for something to read. I really tried to put it down but I couldn't. It was pulling me in.

This was a book about Juliet Capulet who was bouncing from soul to soul to protect soul mates. She didn't want Romeo, he also was bouncing from soul to soul, to get to the soul mates. Romeo was on the Mercenaries, which are the people who are trying to keep the soul mates apart and the Ambassadors were trying to stop the Mercenaries from killing people. Juliet wasn't an Ambassador but she was helping them and was working her way up to become one. But she wasn't reaching them because she was facing something dark.

**Time for Spoiler Alert**

This book was a lot more violent then I expected. A lady was kidnapped and then murdered. There are specters that haunt Romeo and Juliet and are usually always bloody.

Here, Juliet goes into the body of Ariel Dragland. Her memories are open to Juliet so she knows what is happening. But the thoughts and actions are from Juliet. Juliet meets Ben. She falls for him hard. Immediately. It made me realize that love can always have a second chance. Because I was always in love with Romeo and Juliet. That whole love at first sight makes my heart melt. But then with Ben, it made me realize that Ben was so much better for Juliet then Romeo was for her.

Juliet faces a whole battle throughout the book with many things. Some are against Romeo, some against what will happen to her soul, and others are against herself. She has to realize that she has to love herself. She is shown what really happened that night she died. She kept telling herself that Romeo killed her but she never wanted to admit that it was herself.

The romance in this novel was really good. But I liked how it had a mix of everything. There was romance, adventure, suspense, gore, and violence.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone that wants a good read. It did make you think a bit. But that's something I liked about it. I could definitely see this as a movie. If this would be a movie, I would be first in line to see it.

The things I didn't like about it: (**Still Spoilers**)

There was always talks about the original story of Romeo and Juliet. I was a little disappointed that there was never talk about Romeo's best friend Mercutio. I always thought he was an awesome guy. About three chapters take place in Romeo's voice and he never even mentioned him either.

Also, at the end, Juliet finally wakes up back to when she was put to sleep before she dies. She bangs on the coffin and someone opens it up. It is Ben. So, they immediately fall in love in another life. Romeo has run off and she doesn't care. She still remembers Ben and he starts to remember too. He tells her he is Benvolio, Romeo's cousin. I liked how they would be together but I wasn't the biggest fan of the fact that in another life, Ben was Benvolio. But I had to accept it. But I did like how it was in another life kind of love. That was sweet.

**End of Spoilers**

So overall, this book was amazing. I would love it to be a movie. So that way, people would know about it and I could tell them to read the book because it was so good.

On some side notes, I went to Sephora the other day and picked up two things. So mini haul!

I got the mini Bad Gal Lash from Benefit. I heard great reviews from this mascara and my mascara at my dorm is not the best. This one is really good and I am loving it! It's even better because it is mini and I always have better luck with mini mascaras than normal sized ones.

I also got Sephora's face powder. I am running low on my favorite Physician's Formula face powder but I wanted to try something different. This isn't the best picture but the best one I could find. Mine has Sephora's symbol in the middle of it.

This is my mini haul and book review! I plan on reading way more books over my Christmas break because it is the end of my first semester! I have a huge list and plan to break through a good amount of those books. I think the next book will be The Secret Life of Bees. I also will be working a lot to get me some money to buy more books and makeup. :)

Love Ya, Catie
