Crescendo (Hush, Hush Series) by Becca Fitzpatrick

A bit about the book
Nora Grey's life is still far perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever and, even worse, he's started spending time with Nora's arch-enemy, Marcie Millar.

Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feeling that he's hiding something.

Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations as she searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

What I thought
Brilliant sequel! I read this book in one sitting it was that good I just didn't want to put it down. I have been so looking forward to reading Crescendo because there was no clue in Hush, Hush (the first book) about what was going to happen with Nora and Patch. I will admit this book made me quite angry lol, Patch and Marcie was really getting on my nerves, so much so, that I wished I could just drag them out of the book and bang they're heads together lol, but it was great because it added to the suspense which was killing me. The cliffhanger at the end of this book just about pushed me over the edge, I nearly threw the book across the living room (it's the hardback copy so it was probably a good job I didn't lol), I still can't believe how it ended, and now the waiting for the next book in this series is gonna be excruciating. There's some shocking discoveries in this one and a few things that throw you off completely when thinking about who's after Nora, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait until the next one comes out!

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy Series) by Richelle Mead

A bit about the book
It all comes down to now.

The queen is dead and the Moroi
world will never be the same.

Rose Hathaway is awaiting wrongful execution and there exists only one man who can stall this terrible fate. Rose must look to both Dimitri and Adrian, the two great loves of her life, to find him.

With her best friend, Lissa, in a deadly struggle for the royal throne, the girls find themselves forced to rely upon enemies and questioning those they thought they could trust . . .

But what if true freedom means sacrificing the most important thing of all? Each other.

What I thought
Amazing book! I've been looking forward to this book coming out and dreading it at the same time. I obviously needed to know what was gonna happen between Rose and Dimitri and Rose's whole wrongful arrest so that's why I couldn't wait to read it. But knowing it's the last book of the series made me want to keep it on my to be read file for a little bit longer because I knew once I read it that would be it, no more Rose and Dimitri :-( I lasted a week then I couldn't help myself. I read it in one day, I couldn't put it down it was that gripping, and there's a few surprises that I didn't expect either. I think Richelle did an amazing job with this last book and I'm going to miss all of the characters, and that's why this series is one of my favourite YA series, I think I went through every emotion with these books, I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I frowned, I was shocked and most of the time on the edge of my seat, anger was also present as well. I recommend this series to everyone because it's got a bit of everything in it, it's action-packed, romantic, funny, and absolutely brilliant!

Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles) by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

A bit about the book
Some loves are meant to be.
Others are cursed . . .

One night in the rain, Ethan Wate
opened his eyes and fell in love
with Lena Duchannes.
His life would never be the same.

Lena is a Caster and her family is locked in a supernatural civil war. On her sixteenth birthday Lena made a terrifying choice, which now haunts her day and night.

And as her seventeenth birthday approaches Lena and Ethan face even greater danger. A Caster and a mortal can never truly be together.

Every kiss is a curse.
Ethan's next heartbeat could be his last.
It is their curse now . . .

What I thought
Great sequel! This ones gonna be a short review because all I need to say is it was brilliant. It's got some great twists in it that I wouldn't have even thought of, and Ridley was in it a lot more so that was a bonus because she's one of my favourite characters. It definitely lived up to Beautiful Creatures and I can't wait for the next book!

Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles) by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

A bit about the book
In Ethan Wate's hometown there lies the darkest of secrets . . .

There is a girl.
Slowly, she pulled the hood from
her head . . . green eyes, black hair.
Lena Duchannes.

There is a curse.
On the sixteenth moon, of the sixteenth year,
the book will take what it's been promised.
And no one can stop it.

In the end, there is a grave.

Lena and Ethan become bound together by a deep, powerful love. But Lena is cursed and, on her sixteenth birthday, her fate will be decided.
Ethan never even saw it coming.

What I thought
Brilliant book! I read this book when it first came out and I loved it, so when I read it again to get ready for reading Beautiful Darkness (the Caster Chronicles 2nd book), I enjoyed it more than the first time I read it.
Ethan lives in a small town called Gatlin where everybody knows everybody and Ethan can't wait to leave as soon as he graduates because even though Ethan loves Gatlin he just seems to think there's more to life than this small town. Then Lena Duchannes moves in with her uncle, Macon Ravenwood (everyone in Gatlin call him Old Man Ravenwood), who is the town's recluse, so it's obvious the towns people are going to put Lena in the same category as her uncle and treat her different. But as soon as Ethan sees Lena he knows she's the one for him and he is the only one that befriends her and finds out about her family's secret.
I fell in love with Ethan and Lena, they definitely have that whole star-crossed lovers thing going on and I'm a sucker for books like that. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, all the characters were great and I actually liked Ridley as well, she was spunky and fun and I think at least one character has to be like that. I'm just getting ready to read the next book in the series, Beautiful Darkness, and I hope it is as good as its predecessor, because some sequels can become too much or dull which I have found with some series I've read. But I'm sure it will be just as good if not better, as I have heard good things about it. So I'm off now to start on the next book, oh, and one last thing, everyone needs to read this book, as I've already said, it's brilliant!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

A bit about the book
There are thirteen
reasons why your
friend died. You
are one of them.

You can't stop the future.
You can't rewind the past.
The only way to learn the
secret . . . is to press play.

Clay Jensen returns home to find a strange package with his name on it. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker - his classmate and first love - who committed suicide two weeks earlier.

Hannah's voice explains there are thirteen reasons why she killed herself. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out why.

All through the night, Clay keeps listening - and what he discovers changes his life . . .
Forever.

What I thought
This book blew me away. It's hard to explain, I thought it was an amazing, well-written book. The storyline was genius and I will remember this book for a very long time.
It's about a girl called Hannah who commits suicide, but not before she's recorded the thirteen reasons why she did it, and those thirteen people get to listen to it after she's killed herself.
Clay is one of those people so he has to listen to all the cassette tapes and trust me it's an emotional journey.
I read this book in one sitting, I was constantly on the edge of my seat. My emotions was all over the place, one minute I was really angry and the next minute I was holding back tears. I think this book was a real eye opener for me as a parent and I would recommend every parent to read it. Again with this book I don't want to say to much about it because I'd rather people just pick it up and give it a go because once you've read it you will see what I mean. My teenage daughter is reading it now which I encouraged her to do so because I think it will open a lot of teenagers eyes and hearts as well.
What quote stood out the most for me was the snowball effect because it's true, the smallest rumour always has a snowball effect, especially when its been spread between so many people and this book makes you realise what it is actually like for a lot of teenagers in high school that have to put up with stuff like this every day. I definitely agree with Jay Asher, everything affects everything!!!

Dark Secrets: Legacy of Lies & Don't Tell by Elizabeth Chandler

A bit about the book - Legacy of Lies
In Legacy of Lies, Megan has to stay with the uptight grandmother she wants nothing to do with. She's determined to get through the visit without any drama, but when she falls into a twisted love triangle with potentially fatal consequences, Megan may be caught up in her family's legacy in more ways than she realises.

What I thought
Great Story! It didn't take me long to finish this story because once I started it I didn't put it down until I finished it. It made a refreshing change as well to not have vampires in it, I mean don't get me wrong I love vampire and were-animal books, but now and again its nice to read books that don't have them in it. I will admit though it still had the creepy factor in there which I thought was great.
Megan has to go and stay with her grandmother, whom she's never met, and her grandmother hasn't exactly got the warm and fuzzies for her, in fact, I don't think she's very warm towards anyone. Her grandmother's grandson Matt is staying there as well and Megan is having strange feelings about him (Megan's adopted so they're not blood related just in case anybodies thinking ewww!). Matt is also acting weird around Megan so obviously all Megan wants to do is get to the bottom of it. Her grandmother invited her there for a reason and when Megan sees a picture of her grandmother's sister Avril, who died when she's was sixteen, Megan realises she can't go anywhere until she finds out what's going on and why people are being so strange with her.

A bit about the book - Don't Tell
In Don't Tell, Lauren knows that by returning to the town where her mother drowned seven years ago, she'll be reliving one of her most haunting memories. When she arrives, she is propelled into a series of mysterious events that mimic the days leading up to her mother's death. Maybe her mother's drowning wasn't an accident after all . . . and maybe Lauren is next.

What I thought
Another great story! I don't really want to put to much about this story because it's a whodunit kind of story. It had me guessing all the way through and I enjoy things like that but in this book I definitely was way off on my choice of suspect. This was definitely a murder mystery type of book and romance again played a part. I really enjoyed it.

Crave (A Novel of the Fallen Angels) by J.R. Ward

A bit about the book
Fallen Angel Jim Heron has completed his first task: helping Vin Di Pietro to redeem his soul. Now he must identify and battle a demon that can take any form. Worse still, his old boss Matthias wants him to assassinate Isaac, a member of The Firm who's gone AWOL - and Jim's pretty sure he's supposed to save him.

But before Jim can get to Issac to warn him, Isaac's picked up by the police for illegal street fighting. It's soon clear that he is falling for his gorgeous public defender - will their love redeem Isaac's soul? Or has the demon Devina, who's determined to see Jim fail, set an elaborate trap?

The battle between good and evil has left the future of humanity in the hands of a reluctant saviour and his band of fallen angels. Seven deadly sins that must be righted. Seven souls that must be saved.

What I thought
Great book! Jim, now a Fallen Angel, is back doing what he does best, fighting the bad and saving the good in this great sequel to Covet. In this book he has to save Isaac who was one of his friends from when he was in Special Ops, and now Isaac's gone AWOL. Isaac's earning a living by fighting in illegal MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights, and moving around from city to city so he doesn't reveal to his boss, Matthias, where he his, because if his boss finds him its game over because no one escapes Matthias and Special Ops. Then when Isaac gets busted at one of his fights, his public defender, Grier, can't believe how attracted to him she is and Isaac feels the same way, and she's hoping she can help him get his life in order and get him back on the straight and narrow.
I really liked this book, plus it's by one of my favourite author's J.R.Ward so I just had to read it. Their is a variety of different characters in this series and obviously my favourite character is Jim, he's head-strong, he has a good heart and he's willing to help others and the bonus in this book is he's now a Fallen Angel which just makes him an even better character. This book has got loads of action, romance, Fallen Angels and demons so it's got a little bit of everything which is great. So if your a fan of J.R.Ward then I definitely recommend this series.

A Girl's Guide to Vampires (Dark Ones Series) by Katie MacAlister

A bit about the book
Nowadays, finding The One
really can be a pain in the neck

Joy Randall should know. She's been looking for the right guy for years. But, as yet, no real man has lived up to the heroes of the vampire romance novels she's completely addicted to.

So when her friend Roxy suggests a holiday to the Czech Republic, Joy simply can't say no. After all, it has everything:

A craggy, romantic landscape.
Tall, dark, handsome strangers.
Immortal, undead, bloodsucking fiends.

OK, the last one is just Roxy's imagination. Because vampires don't really exist ... or do they?

Plagued by dreams of a handsome stranger, haunted by a mysterious prophecy, and pursued by three pale, brooding, sinister suitors, suddenly Joy isn't so sure...

What I thought of the book
Really good book! I've read quite a few vampire books that have been lol funny and I really enjoy that type of book, I think it makes a change from the doom and gloom that some vampire books have in them, so I had to give Katie MacAlister's Dark Ones series a go. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I couldn't stop laughing, I'm still giggling to myself now at some parts of the book I can remember.
I loved Joy, she was an amazing character, she was funny, independent, sarcastic, strong-headed, and took crap of no one, especially men. All the laughing I did was because of her.
So people who are fans of MaryJanice Davidson and Michelle Rowen will definitely enjoy this book, I can't wait to read the next one.

Ghost Town (The Morganville Vampires Series) by Rachel Caine

A bit about the book
When Claire is ordered to repair the systems that protect Morganville, it's not just cutting into her study time, it's a life-threatening problem. If there's one thing this vampire-infested town is serious about, it's security.

But achieving the impossible only brings a whole new set of problems, and the upgrades have unexpected consequences: people inside the town are slowly beginning to forget who they are, even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment - before she forgets how to save Morganville...

What I thought
Great book! Ghost Town is book nine in The Morganville Vampire series, and if your familiar with this series then I'm sure you'll agree it's a great series. You're following the life's of, Michael Glass, Shane Collins, Eve Rosser and Claire Danvers, all teenagers and all residents of the Glass House, and all residents of Morganville, which is a town mixed with humans and vampires, but basically the vampires run the town.
I really enjoyed this book, I was hooked to this series from the first page of the first book (Glass Houses), and I've continued to keep up with them, I will admit this series is one of my favourite YA series.
Ghost Town lived up to the books before it as I was on the edge of my seat at some parts, and tears in my eyes at other points. This book definitely has the usual action, which is loads of it because to be honest, their is always something going on in Morganville that is life-threatening, and to me, that's what keeps you hooked.
I'm going to leave you with the Introduction to Morganville, which everyone needs to know lol:

Welcome to Morganville. You'll never want to leave.
So, you're new to Morganville. Welcome, new resident! there are only a few important rules you need to know to feel comfortable in our quiet little town:


  • Obey the speed limits,
  • Don't litter,
  • Whatever you do, don't get on the bad side of the vampires.
Yeah, we said vampires. Deal with it.
As a human newcomer, you'll need to find yourself a vampire Protector - someone willing to sign a contract to keep you and yours from harm (especially from the other vampires). In return, you'll pay taxes...just like in any other town. Of course, in most other towns those taxes don't get collected by the Bloodmobile.
Oh, and if you decide not to get a Protector, you can do that, too...but you'd better learn how to run fast, stay out of the shadows, and build a network of friends who can help you. Try contacting the residents of the Glass House - Michael, Eve, Shane, and Claire. They know their way around, even if they always end up in the middle of the trouble somehow.
Welcome to Morganville. You'll never want to leave.
And if you do...well, you can't.
Sorry about that.

Prey (Shifters Series) by Rachel Vincent

A bit about the book
"The fight was about
to get unbelievably,
irreversibly bad"

Having barely escaped a tribunal with her life, defiant werecat Faythe can't seem to keep out of trouble. Her disobedience jeopardises her father's position as Alpha of the south-central Pride and a young tabby in her care refuses to shift into cat form to save her own life.

But a darker danger lurks in the bloody and mysterious disappearance of Faythe's boyfriend, exiled stray Marc. Tired of being a target, Faythe's ready to embrace her destiny and fight like an Alpha to get Marc back and defend the honour of her Pride.

What I thought
Brilliant fourth book! This is definitely my favourite book in the Shifter series so far, and I still have two more to go. This one was, in my book, definitely a weepy, I couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Faythe is having a bit of a rough time, she only gets to see Marc every so often, then she's trying her hardest to get Kaci (the young tabby she's took under her wing) to shift because she's so weak and shifting is the only thing that can help her. Then Marc goes missing and it turns out he's been kidnapped, so the only thing Faythe has on her mind is finding Marc, which most of the Pride presumes is dead. But Faythe will never believe that until she she's him for herself and she will never give up looking for him either. And to top it all off they're having problems with the werecat council, so yet again, Faythe's got a lot going on.
Full of fast-paced action all the way through, I loved this book.

Pride (Shifters Series) by Rachel Vincent

A bit about the book
It's not a game, Faythe.
It's a power play and
they've already won.

The werecat council has three cardinal laws - and headstrong Faythe stands accused of breaking two of them: infecting a human with her supernatural skills and killing him to cover her tracks. With the death penalty hanging over her head, Faythe has no escape route left.

That is, until a shapeshifter informs the pride of a rash of rogue strays terrorising his land. Yet this threat is nothing like any they've seen before. Only Faythe has the knowledge to save the pride, but can she prove her worth? Or will the council's verdict condemn them all . . . ?

What I thought
A great third book! Faythe has got a lot going on in this book, she's going in front of the werecat council for murder and infection charges, her and Marc still haven't really spoken in about 2 months, and now theirs strays lurking in the woods near the lodge where they're staying, so as I said, Faythe has got a lot going on.
This book had me on the edge of my seat, and it also brought tears to my eyes. At parts of the book I was so frustrated I just wanted to scream (I so do not like Calvin Malone lol). This one is definitely my favourite up to yet, now I'm on to Prey the fourth book in this great series, I'm gonna be so upset when this series ends.

Rogue (Shifters Series) by Rachel Vincent

A bit about the book
There's a reason we
have the rules we have,
and apparently you're it.

Rebellious werecat Faythe is shocked when the bodies of murdered men begin turning up in her Pride's territory, especially as the killings can be traced back to her former life as an ordinary college student. But could a message from an old friend provide a chilling clue?

Faythe knows that a past indiscretion may have led to these men's deaths. She also risks exposing her family's supernatural secret. Faced with a terrifying choice, Faythe must decide: prey the tribal council grant her mercy - or risk everything to pursue her own brand of justice.

What I thought
A great second book to the Faythe Sanders series. Faythe is as feisty as ever in this next book, she has a lot to deal with and it all comes down on her in one go. I never write really long reviews because I would get carried away then you wouldn't have to read the book because I'd have told you everything you need to know lol. I have really been blown away by this series, I love Faythe, I'm still not too sure about Marc, and I have a soft spot for Jace. But this book is as good as the first, now I can't wait to read Pride, I just hope it can live up to Stray and Rogue. Definitely recommend this book to everyone, I obviously mean that because I've even got my husband reading Stray as I type this lol, I haven't got a verdict yet though, his usual quote with anything I'm into is "What a shower of s**t" but you never know, I might have brought him over to my side with this series lol.

The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld Series) by Gena Showalter

A bit about the book
His Powers - Inhuman
His Passion - Beyond Immortal . . .

All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member - a man trapped in a hell of his own.

Neither can resist the instant hunger that calms their torments . . . and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction - and a soul-shattering test of love . . . .

What I thought
Great book! Another book that took me 24 hours to read because I couldn't put it down. Storyline was brilliant, loved how the immortals were possessed with a demon, for example, Maddox's demon was Violence, and they had Disease, Wrath, Promiscuity, Death, Pain and so on. I will admit that this series is your typical paranormal romance but to me it was still great, it grabbed me from the first page and that's what I loved about it, you can't beat a book that can entrance you that quickly. Can't wait to read The Darkest Kiss, which is Lucien's story and his demon is Death, I know it's gonna be good!

Stray (Shifters Series) by Rachel Vincent

A bit about the book
The difference between the movies and reality?
In real life, I was the monster.

Faythe Sanders looks like an ordinary student, but she's hiding a dark secret: she is a werecat, a powerful supernatural predator. Yet headstrong, independent Faythe resents her power, heading to college to escape her family and her overprotective ex, Marc.

That is until a stray - a dangerous werecat without a pride or territory - catches her scent. With two werecat girls already missing, Faythe is summoned home for her own protection.

But Faythe will do whatever it takes to find her kidnapped kin. She has claws - and she's not afraid to use them.

What I thought
Great book! I've seen these books in Waterstones a few times and I've heard quite a few people talking about them, so I thought I'd give them a go. Stray was brilliant, I couldn't put it down, Faythe is definitely a character I love, and reading about werecats made a refreshing change from vampires. Now I can't wait to get started on Rogue, the second book in this series. This book was action packed, emotional and fun to read, I recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal books because this book was excellent!

Jacob (The Nightwalkers Series) by Jacquelyn Frank

A bit about the book
Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers - the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer . . .

For 700 years, he has resisted temptation.
But not tonight . . .

Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire . . .

Bring on the night.

What I thought
This book was right up my street. I love authors like Christine Feehan, J.R. Ward, Lara Adrian, Kresley Cole, and now Jacquelyn Frank has been added to that list. Great paranormal romance book about Nightwalkers, which are demons, that protect humankind and Jacob is the Enforcer. Then you have Isabella who is human, falling out of her apartment window only to have Jacob there to catch her. This book had lots of action and steamy love scenes, so if you're a Kresley Cole or Christine Feehan fan you will definitely like this book. Looking forward to reading Gideon, which is book 2 in this series.

Quotes from the books

"You so need to lighten up about that potato-launcher incident," Butch said.
Phury rolled his eyes and eased back in the banquette. "You broke my window."
"Of course we did. V and I were aiming for it."
"Twice."
"Thus proving that he and I are outstanding marksmen."  - from Lover Unbound

"That's you," Wrath said. You shall be called the Black Dagger warrior Dhestroyer, descended of Wrath son of Wrath."

"But you'll always be Butch to us," Rhage cut in. "As well as hard-ass. Smart-ass. Royal pain in the ass. You know, whatever the situation calls for. I think as long as there's an ASS in there, it'll be accurate."

"How about bASStard?" Z suggested.

"Nice. I feel that." - from Lover Revealed

"The staircase that was revealed was lit with a soft red glow.
I feel like I'm walking down into a porn movie," V muttered as they took the steps with care.
Wouldn't that require more black candles for you," Zsadist cracked.
At the bottom of the landing, they looked left and right down a corridor carved out of stone, seeing row after row of...black candles with ruby color flames.
I take that back," Z said, eyeing the display.
We start hearing chick-a-wow-wow shit," V cut in, "can I start calling you Z-packed?"
Not if you want to keep breathing." - from Lover Avenged

Vishous (Back in the Pit, posting in Rhage's room on the board)
Hi! My name is Rhage.....:)
I'm starting a new trend in facial hair.
Having one eyebrow is COOL.
Having one eyebrow is SEXY.
Having one eyebrow is very INTELLECTUAL.
Come. Join me.

Rhage: (In his bedroom) 1. He immobilized me, the motherfucker. Or I woud have gone to work on the goatee. AND IF HE WERE SO TOUGH HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO PUT A WHAMMY ON MY ASS TO GET AT ME.
2. My hair grows back VERY fast. I should be BACK TO NORMAL in a couple of days.
3. Even if it takes me the rest of this month...he has SO got it coming for him.

Vishous: Rhage! What happened to your eyebrow?

Midnight Breed Series Reading Order - Lara Adrian

I absolutely love this series it's brilliant, a must read if your into J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series!

Midnight Breed Series Reading Order - Lara Adrian


Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce


A bit about the book
Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris– the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She’s determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts fiercely alongside her. Now Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves and finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax– but loving him means betraying her sister and has the potential to destroy all they’ve worked for.

What I thought
Good book. I really liked the Little Red Riding Hood twist, thought that was brilliant thinking. Scarlett and Rosie had a great relationship, Scarlett was a bit obsessed with killing the werewolves, and Rosie stuck by her no matter what.
Scarlett was strong and confident when it came to fighting, even though she had been attacked time after time by the fenris (werewolves), it never put her off course and she never backed down, that's why I loved her character so much.
Rosie was a little bit more sensitive and willing to stick by her sister through thick and thin if that's what Scarlett wanted. Hunting was Scarlett's life but Rosie wanted more than that, but Rosie always thought she owed Scarlett her life (and in a sense she did), but that didn't mean Rosie's life had to be dedicated to only hunting, she needed something more for herself.
Then there's Silas, basically the boy next door type. He has also stuck by Scarlett with her hunting obsession, and as her hunting partner he is willing to help her any way he can.
I liked how you also got romance in this book as well (you can't beat a bit of romance), and I didn't think it was rushed at all. This is another book that has what every paranormal reader wants, hunter's, werewolves and romance. So all in all a good book. Thanks to Lynsey at ukbooktours for sending me another good book, I really appreciate it! :-)

Fade (Wake Trilogy) by Lisa McMann

A bit about the book
For Janie and Cabe, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open - but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behaviour has grave consequences for them both.

And if that isn't bad enough, Janie has discovered Martha Stubin's journals, and what she learns through them chills her to the bone. Not only is her fate as a Dream Catcher sealed, but what's to come is so much darker than she'd ever feared . . .

What I thought
Great sequel to Wake. In this second book Janie is learning how to control her dreams more and is starting to get the hang of it. Her and Cabe have another assignment for the police to do involving, once again, their high school, only this time it's the teachers. Plus she's got a lot of personal issues to sort out involving her dream catching.
I thought this book was quite deep, especially with the issues involving her high school teachers and students. Once you've read it I think you will understand what I mean, because when I thought about it stuff like that really does happen in real life. It is quite a short book but that doesn't stop it from being great and doesn't everybody love Janie and Cabe, they are a match made in heaven and they only have each other so, to me, that made them lovable characters. I can't wait to read Gone, which unfortunately, is the last book in the series. I will definitely miss Janie and Cabel :)

Torment (A Fallen Novel) by Lauren Kate

A bit about the book
How many lives must you live before
you find someone to die for?

Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now, in this sequel to the bestselling Fallen, they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from The Outcasts - immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?

What I thought
Two words: absolutely amazing! I finished this book within 24 hours, I couldn't and didn't put it down.
I always worry with sequels, hoping they can live up to the first books, and this one definitely did.
Luce ended up at a different school in this one - Shoreline, a school for the gifted - and it was definitely a step up from the Sword & Cross school in Fallen. The Shoreline school has nothing in common with Sword & Cross, it has beautiful grounds, great teachers, even waiters serve you your meals, so when Luce has to go there because it's the only place that can protect her from the ones that want to kill her, she can't believe she has to go without Daniel. Daniel, thinking only of Luce's safety, takes her there and leaves her at the gates telling her he won't be able to see her for a few weeks. Luce still can't believe they can not be together as Daniel his her one true love and she's miserable without him, but there's a lot more to the story which Luce will eventually discover.
I was a bit disappointed at first because I thought Daniel wasn't going to be in it quite as much as he was in Fallen, but the characters in this book were great. Shelby, her roommate, takes a little getting used to but she did actually grow on me. Miles, I thought, was lovely, caring, funny and easy-going.
I was happy when Arriane made an appearance because she is one of my favourite characters, I thought she was great in Fallen - a bit loopy lol - but great. The ending was brilliant and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I try not to put to much down when I'm talking about a book because I don't want to give anything away, but everyone needs to read this sequel, even if you don't read books you still need to read the Fallen series lol. Only disappointment now is I've got to wait until Summer 2011 to read the next one which is a long time to wait.
Thanks to Lynsey at ukbooktours for sending me this book it was amazing!

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter

A bit about the book
"Do you ever feel like you're invisible?
I know I do - just call me Cammie the Chameleon.
But at my school, that's seen as cool. Why? Because the Gallagher Academy might say it's for geniuses, but it's really a school for spies."

Cammie Morgan might be capable of killing a man in seven different ways, but she's about to begin her most dangerous mission yet: falling in love.

What I thought
I was a bit dubious about this book at first. I wondered if it was the type of book I would be into, but I thought I'd give it a go, and, yes, I did enjoy it. I thought, is a book about girl spies really gonna draw me in and it actually did. Cammie wasn't a typical teenager, but she was still having the same feelings that any teenager has at that age: confusion over boys, well in her case, a boy!
Josh, just an average young boy, meets Cammie when she's on a covert operation, and Cammie is know as the Chameleon, but Josh noticed her and for Cammie that had never happened before. Cammie's used to not being noticed, she's the kind of girl that fades away into the background, but when she meets Josh she is instantly smitten. She can't tell him anything about her life which makes it difficult for her so it becomes a mission in itself to find everything she can about Josh so she can try and connect with him.
I am actually looking forward to reading the other books in the series because this book was a easy book to read. The characters were interesting and it was great that the book was about girl spies for a change (see, we girls can be just as lethal as boys lol). So, another good choice, and another good book!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

A bit about the book
When sixteen-year-old Sophie Mercer discovers she's a witch, she imagines life will be full of magic, fun and . . . well . . . broomsticks! But her first attempt at a love spell goes disastrously wrong and, as punishment, Sophie is shipped off to Hecate "Hex" Hall, a reform school for witches, shapeshifters and faeries.

By the end of her first day among her fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person on campus and the only vampire.

Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students and her only friend is the number-one suspect . . .

What I thought
I enjoyed this book. It was easy to get into, and I read it in one sitting. It reminded me of Evernight by Claudia Gray, to me the romance part was just like that book. Great characters, in fact I still like Archer now after everything that happened (if you've read the book you will know what I mean). I think there is going to be a second book so hopefully there will be more of Archer in that one. I love the romance with the paranormal lol. Plus this book has a bit of everything, witches, warlocks, werewolves, faeries and vampires, so all in all a good book.

No Mercy (A Dark-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
Prepare to enter a world full of richly imagined mythology - a world where dark and dangerous heroes fight to protect us.
Prepare to enter an endless battle.
Prepare to lose yourself . . .

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier thought he knew it all. But one night when a Dark-Hunter, who is also an official member of the Dogs of War, sashays into his bar, he realises that he might have met his match.

Samia, aka Sam, was one of the fiercest Amazon warriors in her tribe. But an act of brutal betrayal made her a Dark-Hunter and she's been angry ever since. Live fast, fight hard and enjoy the night - that's her credo. But as old enemies and new move into New Orleans, she realises that Dev just might be the only hope she and mankind have to save the world.

What I thought
This book was amazing! I took it everywhere with me and I mean everywhere lol. It only took me a day to read because it was that good and I couldn't tear myself away from it. This book is about Dev and Sam. Dev is a Were-Hunter, and Sam is a Dark-Hunter, which by the way is not allowed. Dev is funny, extremely sarcastic and big headed, well his big head seems to deflate when he meets Sam. Sam is strong, witty, angry and definitely not afraid of anybody. These two characters are brilliant, Dev's starred in a few Dark-Hunter books so I was quite excited when he had his own story. This book as got everything you need in a book, vampires, shapeshifters, demons, then there's the action and romance as well, it really is an incredible book. Anybody that is up to this book in the series will definitely not be disappointed. I've added the No Mercy book trailer below as well because as soon as I saw it I couldn't believe how good it was. Enjoy! :)


Bad Moon Rising (A Dark-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
Prepare to enter a world full of richly imagined mythology - a world where dark and dangerous heroes fight to protect us.
Prepare to enter an endless battle.
Prepare to lose yourself . . .

Fang Kattalakis isn't just a wolf. He is the brother of two of the most powerful members of the Omegrion: the ruling council that enforces the laws of the Were-Hunters. And when war erupts among the lycanthropes, sides must be chosen. Enemies are forced into shaky alliances.

When Aimee, the woman Fang loves, is accused of betraying her people, her only hope is that Fang believes in her. Yet in order to save her, Fang must break the law of his people and the faith of his brothers. That breech could very well spell the end of both their races and change their world for ever. The war is on and time is running out . . .

What I thought
Another brilliant Dark-Hunter novel! This book is Fang and Aimee's story, so I couldn't wait to read it as I'm a fan of the Kattalakis wolves. I couldn't put it down, there was so much going on I needed to keep reading or it would have bugged me. I will say it again, I don't want to put too much about these books because of giving anything away, but I loved it! In fact I can't say a wrong word about any of the books in this series, they are amazing! The only thing I'm sad about now is that the next book just came out at the beginning of the month, so once I've read that one I'm going to be lost to death waiting for more Dark-Hunter books to come out. :(

Dream Warrior (A Dream-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
They are the servants of the Furies - diligent, vigilant, fierce and inescapable. They are the right hand of justice - and no one stands before them. They are the Dolophoni . . .

Cratus, the son of Warcraft and Hate, spent eternity battling for the ancient gods who birthed him. He was death to any who crossed him. Until the day he laid down his arms and walked into self-imposed exile. Now an ancient enemy has been unleashed and our dreams are his chosen battlefield. And the only hope we have is the one god who swears he will never fight again.

As a Dream-Hunter, Delphine has spent eternity protecting mankind from the predators who prey on our unconscious state. But now that her allies have been turned, she knows in order to survive, the Dream-Hunters need a new leader. Someone who can train them to fight their new enemies. Cratus is her only hope. But she is a bitter reminder of why he chose to lay down his arms. Time is running out and if she can't win him to her cause, mankind will be slaughtered and the world we know will soon cease to exist.

What I thought
Well, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet because my thoughts towards these books are mostly gonna be the same every time, GOD, I LOVE THESE BOOKS!
This ones about Jericho and Delphine, same as the other books, they are obviously destined to be together.
What I will say though is that while the Dream-Hunter books are not my favourite ones (Dark-Hunter all the way baby!) they still grab a hold of me and I can't put them down. Ending in this one shocked me though so I can't wait to read the next Dream-Hunter book. :)

Dark Flame (The Immortals) by Alyson Noel


A bit about the book
Some secrets must never be revealed . . .

Roman. Damen. Jude. One is Ever's deadly enemy. One her great love. And the third might be the answer to all her problems. But Ever is trapped - bound by secrets, magyck and an uncontrollable passion beating in her veins.

She's being drawn towards someone - something - that risks everything she holds dear. And the one thing that can save her will also drive Damen away forever . . .

What I thought
Well, what can I say about this book? I must admit, I was a bit disappointed. After reading the first three books, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Dark Flame, so when I finally did, I started it straight away. With the first three books I had a hard time putting them down, but with this one I was easily distracted (which is unusual for me), and it took me two days to finish it and it's not that long a book. I found I got bored and was continually thinking "I wish they would just get on with it". Don't get me wrong, I love the characters in this series, especially Ever, but I think it's dragging on now and I must say that not a lot really happened in this book. I will still look forward to reading Night Star, but for me this book was not as good as the ones before it :(

The Haunted (Hollow Trilogy) by Jessica Verday

A bit about the book
Abbey has spent her summer trying to forget Caspian: the boy she fell in love with, the boy who she knows must not exist, cannot exist, because he is dead . . .
But summer is almost over, and now Abbey has to return to Sleepy Hollow and face the ghosts of her past.

At first she throws herself into schoolwork, perfume-making and her emerging friendship with cute and funny - and very much alive - Ben, who she hopes might help her get over Caspian once and for all. But when Caspian reappears in her life, Abbey realises that moving on might not be an option: for Caspian is a Shade and Abbey is his destiny. And destiny is something you can't run from, no matter how hard you try . . .

The captivating sequel to The Hollow

What I thought
This was a good sequel. I just love books that have a great love story with the paranormal chucked in, these type of books draw me in every time. I love Abbey and Caspian, they are beautiful characters. I Can't really put much about this book without giving anything away, so if you enjoyed The Hollow then obviously you'll enjoy this book. Only downside for me was that everything happened at the end of the book, and not much happened through the book, which as been the case with a few sequels I've read, but it's still a good read. I must say it ended on a cliffhanger and now I've got to wait ages for the final book which sucks. :)

Acheron (A Dark-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
From the world of the Dark-Hunters comes the most anticipated book to date . . .

Eleven thousand years ago a god was born. Cursed into the body of a human, Acheron endured a lifetime of hatred. His human death unleashed an unspeakable horror that almost destroyed the earth. Brought back against his will, he became the sole defender of mankind.

Only it was never that simple . . .

For centuries, he has fought for our survival and hidden a past he never wants revealed. Now his survival, and ours, hinges on the very woman who threatens him. Old enemies are reawakening and uniting to kill - them both.

What I thought
This was an amazing book. I'd waited a while to read it and when I finally got a hold of it I wasn't disappointed. This book as two parts which I thought was great because it separated Acheron's human years and his years as a god. It was so emotional that by the end of part one I was an emotional wreck lol. I don't think I've ever cried so much at a book, it was heart-wrenching and heart-stopping and I didn't want to put it down. Part two was your typical Dark-Hunter novel, I loved Tory, she was great, and she wasn't afraid of expressing her feelings, and she definitely wasn't intimidated by Acheron whatsoever, even though he is 6"8 and nothing but muscle. This is a must read, I am definitely going to be reading it again in the future :)

Dream Chaser by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
Condemned by the gods to live out his existence without emotions, Xypher chose the pursuit of sensations, to feel again in the dreams of humans, only to find himself condemned to death. But he is given one last chance at a reprieve. Made human for a month, he must redeem himself within that time or Hades will return him to Tartarus and his torture.

Simone Dubois is a coroner who isn't scared by much, especially since she's psychic and can see and hear the people she's working on. When they wheel in another victim, she doesn't think much about it, until he gets up from her table and starts to leave.

Xypher doesn't have time to spend with this human woman and her questions. But it's bot long before mysterious attempts on Simone's life force Xypher to stand between the woman who is beginning to touch his heart and the danger that is threatening her life.

What I thought
Another great book from Sherrilyn Kenyon. This ones about Xypher and Simone.
Xypher is one cold person. He was spending rest of eternity being tortured in the underworld by Hades for a crime he did out of love, and the person he loved betrayed him so that would explain why he's so cold. All he wants is revenge, and personally, I can't fault him.
Simone is the woman that basically says 'I see dead people' lol. Ever since her parents died all she's had to keep her company his Jesse, her ghost companion. She's the kind of woman that moves forwards and doesn't dwell on the past.
I really enjoyed this book (shocker lol), and I will definitely cry when this series is over, hopefully that will be a while yet. One last thing, I just want to share this inscription what Xypher's got ingraved on his arm:

Hatred is a bitter, damaging emotion. It winds itself through the blood, infecting its host and driving it forward without any reason. Its view is jaundiced and it skews even the clearest of eyesights.
Sacrifice is noble and tender. It's the action of a host who values others above himself. Sacrifice is bought through love and decency. It is truly heroic.
Vengeance is an act of violence. It allows those who have been wronged to take back some of what was lost to them. Unlike sacrifice, it gives back to the one who practices it.
Love is deceitful and sublime. In its truest form, it brings out the best in all beings. At its worst, it's a tool used to manipulate and ruin anyone who is stupid enough to hold it.
Don't be stupid.
Sacrifice is for the weak. Hatred corrupts. Love destroys. Vengeance is the gift of the strong.
Move forward, not with hatred, not with love.
Move forward with purpose.
Take back what was stolen. Make those who laughed at your pain pay. Not with hatred, but with calm, cold rationale.
Hatred is your enemy. Vengeance is your friend. Hold it close and let it loose.
May the gods have mercy on those who have wronged me because I will have no mercy for them.

Books & Music - A Great Combination #2

Infinity (Chronicles of Nick) by Sherrilyn Kenyon - Closer to the Edge by 30 Seconds to Mars :-)

Books & Music - A Great Combination

This is a great idea (thanks to Emma at asamum booktopia). I always have to have my earbuds in when I'm reading so I can shut the world out and listen to the music I love. Also, through Emma I am following Pewter Wolf, which has got some great music videos to go to some great books. Thank you Emma!!! :-)

Evermore (The Immortals) by Alyson Noel - Illuminated by Hurts

   

Devil May Cry (A Dark-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon


Ever since the moment his status as a god was revoked by Artemis, Sin has done nothing but plot his revenge on her. He kidnaps a woman he believes to be the goddess, but she is Artemis' servant, Katra. And instead of imprisoning her, Katra captures him and refuses to release him until her promises not to seek vengeance on her mistress. Despite himself, Sin finds himself intrigued by Katra, who is nothing like the goddess she serves. Granted she's fierce, but she's also compassionate and loyal. However, Sin is not the only enemy Artemis has and it quickly becomes apparent that he must help Katra save her mistress or the world as we know it will end.

Great book! I couldn't put it down. It is definitely one of my favourites.
Katra is a sarcastic, compassionate, sweet and loving person, I really liked her. She is definitely more like her father, Acheron, thank god, her emotions run high and she's willing to give anybody a chance. Her mother, Artemis, is cold and bitter, and thankfully Katra is not.
Sin used to be a Sumerian god and ever since Artemis took his powers from him all he's been bothered about his getting revenge. Personally, I think they should just let Simi eat her and do us all a favour lol. Sin's got big trust issues, he not let anybody into his life or his heart. But then he meets Katra, who, with her wit and charm, sets emotions running through him (and trust me mommie dearest wasn't too thrilled about that).
I really could go on all day about this book, it's got romance and violence, as same with the other books. Everyone should give these books ago, they've got a bit of everything in them to satisfy all fantasy readers.
Bring on the next book!!! :)

Upon the Midnight Clear (A Dream-Hunter Novel) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
Ever think Scrooge had it right before the ghosts ruined his life? Meet Aidan O'Conner.
At one time he was a world-renowned celebrity who gave freely of himself and his money without wanting anything in return . . . until those around him took without asking. Now Aidan wants nothing of the world - or anyone who's a part of it.

When a stranger appears at his doorstep, Aidan knows he's seen her before . . . in his dreams.
Born on Olympus as a goddess, Leta knows nothing of the human world. But a ruthless enemy has driven her from the world of dreams and into the home of the only man who can help her: Aidan. Her immortal powers are derived from human emotions - and his anger is just the fuel she needs to defend herself . . .

One cold winter's night will change their lives forever . . .
Trapped together in a brutal winter storm, Aidan and Leta must turn to the only power capable of saving them - or destoying them both: trust.

What I thought
Aidan has definitely got some trust and anger issues! But I suppose with his family I can let him off lol. Again, I really enjoyed this book, it could have been longer as I finished it within a couple of hours. The gods in these books have got serious problems and tempers, they really enjoy fighting with each other A LOT!!! I must admit this book brought a tear to my eye, which I quickly wiped away before I got mocked by my family (it's ok, none of them are emotional like me so they get away with it hehe). What I must say is Leta is a lovely character, she's been through the wars and she needs a bit of love and comfort in her life, and the same with Aidan, his family are a bunch of muppets that need sorting out, and that's all I'm saying because I don't like to say to much and give the story away, people will just have to read it for themselves :-)

The Dream-Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon

A bit about the book
In the ethereal world of dreams there are champions who fight to protect the dreamer and there are demons who prey on them . . .

Arik is such a predator. Condemned by the gods to live for eternity without emotions, Arik can only feel when he's in the dreams of others. Now, after thousands of years, he's finally found a dreamer whose vivid mind can fill his emptiness.

Dr Megeara Kafieri made a reluctant promise to her dying father that she would salvage his reputation by proving his life-long belief that Atlantis is real. But frustration and bad luck dog her every step. Especially the day they find a stranger floating in the sea. His is a face she's seen many times . . . in her dreams.

What she doesn't know is that Arik has made a pact with the god Hades: in exchange for two weeks as a mortal man, he must return to Olympus with a human soul. Megeara's soul.

What I thought
So, I was on Amazon looking at some of the reviews of this book and, I must say, quite a few people had bad things to say about it. Yeah, I must admit, it's not as good as a Dark-Hunter novel, but it still had it's own twist, but to each their own I suppose. I must say if your a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan then you will like it, it had great characters (a few which tie in to the Dark-Hunter books) and I really enjoyed the storyline. I mean come on it's fantasy people, what girl wouldn't love a gorgeous man coming to them in their dreams and then he tips up in reality, in the sea, near your boat, you'd love it!!! :-)

The Dark-Hunter Creed



I must say I have been going Dark-Hunter mad this month. I've read about five books, four short stories and I've got three more books to read. I'm putting the creed on my blog because I love it and I love the Dark-Hunters and I want to share it with other people :-)
The Dark-Hunter Creed

We are Darkness. We are Shadow.
We are the Rulers of the Night.
We, alone, stand between mankind and those who
would see mankind destroyed.
We are the Guardians.
The Soulless Keepers.
Our souls were cast out so that we would not
foreworn the Daimons we pursue. By the time they
see us coming, it's too late.
The Daimons and Apollites know us.
They fear us.
We are death to all those who prey upon the humans.
Neither Human, nor Apollite, we exist beyond the realm
of the Living, beyond the realm of the Dead.
We are the Dark-Hunters.
And we are Eternal.
