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."

"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

"In quick succession, Qhuinn reviewed his answers: No, of course not, the knife was acting of its own volition. I was actually trying to stop it...No, I only meant to give him a shave...No, I didn't realize that slicing open someone's jugular was going to lead to death." - from Lover Enshrined

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.

3. Even if it takes me the rest of this month...he has SO got it coming for him.

Why...it's gone.
Did you slip while you were shaving?
Hey....lemme ask you something...Does your head feel off-kilter? You know, heavier on one side?"

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! :-)






CRESCENDO Book Trailer (FallenArchangel)

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!
