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 :)
