Song of The Moon Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Artemis has spent her whole life as an outcast.

Most of the people in her town either don't like her or are afraid of her.

Her only and best friend, Bret and her father 

are really the only companions she's ever had in her whole life. 

Until the man from her dreams (literally) shows up claiming to be her one true mate.

Artemis's life is about to change and for better or worse she has to learn to 

let go of her old ways and come to terms with who and what she really is.

But can she forget about everything she thought was true about her life

and accept the fact that she isn't human?

Could she really live her life with a man who is clearly 

as dangerous as the world he lives in?

***

Why does this book get four starts?

Well... because it is flipping amazing that's why!

Seriously though I love/hate this book.... well okay at fist it may have been love/hate
But not because some part were boring
or that there was anything wrong with the way it was written nooo
but because somethings were a little hard to accept.
If you were raised in the human world
and believed you were human for your whole life I would think that you would be pretty ticked off that the supernatural beings are killing off humans and taking them as slaves so that they can take over the world for themselves. 

I know I know it's the old lets take over the world play

but come on when was the last time someone actually used that 

..... 

i'll wait

.....

it's been Forever!

and I think that Catherine Banks did an Amazing job here.

After awhile - against my better judgement- I got on board with the whole 

lets make humans our slave gig.

Also I really wanted to hate Ares
-with his whole *caveman voice* "me alpha you obey or i'll strike you down" attitude-
 but how could you when you're being forced to love him. 

after a while you start to accept his behavior because you know he isn't human,
he's a wolf
 a very powerful wolf
and there are some rules that must be followed
if you are to survive in his world.

If you enjoyed Vampire Academy and maybe even Becoming Alpha 

you would most likely fall in love with this Saga as well.

The characters in this book do not pretend to be human
and I think that's what I love the most about this story
 It makes this world more believable. 

The relationship between Artemis and Ares is amazing  as well.

she know he's her one true mate but 

she was brought up human and is determined to take her relationship with ares one step at a time 

even though she might already be head over heels for Prince of werewolves.

Love & The Zombie Apocalypse Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

All Rachel Cole wanted was to get her little sister away from their horrible foster home,

Even if it was only for a few weeks, she was glad to have Morgan away at science camp,

where she would be safe from the beatings of their foster dad. 

Everything was as good as it could get for her, knowing that her sister would be safe

and having fun with other kids her own age. 

If only she had known how incredibly dangerous things where about to get for the both of them.

The dead are rising and attacking the living.

All it takes is ONE bite.

One bite and you're infected.

Once you're infected it's not long before you die and become one of the undead. 

It doesn't take long for Rachel to realize that in order to stay alive you have to fight back. 

With a bat and determination as her only weapon Rachel is on a mission to get 

to Michigan and rescue Morgan.

On her way she meets a few survivors who decide to help her

and that would be great if one of them weren't 

Cage Vincent, the local high schools golden boy.

Their attraction towards each other is undeniable, but 

The end of the world is hardly the time for falling in love.

Especially not when she has to be focused on saving her sister.

If it isn't already to late.

***

Here we have a Badass bat-swinging zombie-killing heroine

who knows how to take care of herself instead of hiding out in someones closet

till help arrives.

Rachel is smart, strong, and determined

but so is Cage, who despite all that he is going through is still determined to 

have Rachel by his side and help her find her sister. 

The book also tells  the stories of  other characters 

and what they've all been through up until they all meet up together 

which I fell is very import, because it helps us all understand the characters better and allows us to see how much they have grown or changed since their first encounter with the virus. 

If you are a fan of Love & Decay like I am you will definitely enjoy this book.

You can get it on Amazon for $2.99 Or you can read it for free with Kindle Unlimited  on your tablet, computer or smart phone like I did.

Cursed Review

3.5/5☆☆☆

If I haven't made myself clear, before now, 

in an earlier post or on my instagram or twitter page

 please allow me to do so now.

 Jennifer L. Armentrout is my favorite author!

Her words are a gift from GOD!

She is the Queen of  health hazardous cliff hangers 

creator of drool worthy book-boyfriends

and amazeball story lines!

I've been meaning to read cursed for a while now

and I finally got around to doing so. 

Last week I walked into my local library

(( I totally forgot we had one of those around here. 

I've been so obsessed with buying books 

that I forgot I can actually read some for free!

**gasp**))

...

Anyways I walked into my local library and this

was literally the fist book I saw
and I thought
"The gods have decided it was time."

I could not put the book down to save my own life

...or sleep. 

I have read many books where the main character has this horrible and uncontrollable ability

that prevented him/her from ever touching someone

but so far Ember win first place in the

I-totally-got-screwed-over-in-the-not-so-super-power-ability-department

considering she can't even touch animals or even plants without killing them. 

Can you imagine not being able to:
 Pick up a pretty flower 

or pet an animal?

To not be able to touch your little sister

or anyone else?
To never be able to kiss someone you like without killing them?

Well Rogue can.

It must really suck!

What make all of this so much worse is that Ember wasn't always like that.

She had a normal life once.

She was a cheerleader,
 had friends, and even dated the captain of the football team.

She use to be a normal girl with normal problems, but that was before...

Before she was in a car accident that killed both her and her dad.

Two years ago Ember had died in a horrible accident, but thanks to 

her little sister, Olivia, she was brought back to life.
Now, some people would be glad that they were brought back from the dead,
 but we all know better.

When you bring someone back from the dead they never return the same.
And when Ember came back
she came back cursed.

Now any living thing that she touches dies.

The once popular and out going girl distances herself from others
in order to keep everyone, including herself and her sister, safe.

Two years of Solitude, taking care of her sister and sick mother
has made her a social outcast with only one true friend.

The kids at school call her a freak, because she wears long sleeves and gloves to hide her scars.
If only they knew she wore them to protect all of them as well.


And just when things couldn't get any worse
it does.
 Ember McWilliams life gets turned upside down when she meets
Hayden Cromwell.
Smart, Sexy,funny, wonderful Hayden tells her that she isn't cursed,
but gifted like him.
 He tells her that she can control her gift
and to Ember that means the world to her.
She'd be able to hug her sister, touch other people and animals even kiss Hayden,
but first he needs her to do the one thing she may never be able to do
and that's trust his adoptive father.
A man who seems to be fond of collecting special children
like her self and Olivia and forcing them all to live
practically in the middle of nowhere!
Total Creeper!

But with nowhere else to go Ember tries her best
and works along with Hayden to get her ability under control.
But when Ember finds out the horrible truth about what really happened
the night of  the car accident that killed her and her dad
it's becomes difficult to trust anyone in her new home... even Hayden.
And with another threat on her life hanging over her head she might actually end up dead... permanently

***
I wish the book was longer and I kind of wish the romance was a bit more intense
but I guess not every guy can be Deamon Black right.
I just have to say that I absolutely love how it keeps you guessing all the way til the end.
Another wonderful book by Jennifer L. Armentrout
she should be awarded with a crown!
But until then
in honor of JLA
I will add a gif of Theo James
because he is Bae!
And we need more Theo-James-kind-of-handsome in this world
*sigh*

Claimed By The Elven King Review

You know when you're bored and you want something new to read, 

but you are banned by you ever loving husband from buying another 

book because you've already bought five books that month and so 

you just scroll and scroll and scroll through tons and tons of free books

on your nook or on the kindle app on your phone until you come across 

a book with a pretty cover and an interesting synopsis and so you click buy 

and download and you're like holy moly this is fantastic and HOT and 

you're so absorbed by the story that you get kind of peeved at the ridiculous 

cliff hanger at the end and realize that you need… and I mean NEED to buy the next book(s)

because obviously a story this good needs to be read to the end, promises made to the ever loving husband about waiting until I read all the unread books I already have on my shelf be damned! 

*deeply inhales* 

*slowly exhales*

Well, this ladies, gentlemen and those who are neither or both, witches, shifters, and other non-humans

(Don't mind me I am high on chocolate!) this is that kind of book. 

Claimed By The Elven King: Part One
3/5 ☆☆☆

Imagine waking in the middle of the night and being taken against your will

To another realm for the soul purpose of becoming the bride of an Elven King.

  Of course, as any sane human would Emily Ford brushes this off as a dream, 

Because there is absolutely no way that any of this is real. 

Elves aren't real and even if they were, there is no way she would ever consent to having sex with some stranger, even if he is a drop dead gorgeous Elven King.

Sethian, is the perfect man.

Everything about him attracts Emily to him, but after and night of

Absolutely amazing sex she accepts that this new life of hers is not a dream and 

realizes that it is a lot more complicated than she ever thought it would be.

The Elven race is in danger of extinction due to the fact that not one elven woman 

has been able to give birth for the past 500 years.

As the Royal Wife her duty is to produce an heir for the King

and if this isn't nerve wracking enough the King's other wife- YES! I said OTHER- the Queen

has no problem letting it be known about how she feels about Emily. 

Claimed By The Elven King: Part Two
3/5 ☆☆☆

The last thing Emily remembers after waking up alone in her room 

is the vague memory of making love to Sethian before passing out, again.

 If that isn't strange enough she learns a bit more of her new status as the Royal Wife and 

meets her ladies in waiting, and a very rude Queen. 

Emily's world just got a bit more complicated and she's only been there a few days. 

At least her time in the royal bath with her husband is enough to make her forget about her troubles.

Claimed By The Elven King: Part Three
4/5 ☆☆☆☆

Keeping a secret this huge might be impossible for Emily
but if she can keep her nerves intact a little longer
than maybe she might be able to achieve the one thing she so desperately wants.
The love of her husband.

It's been a month since the last time she has seen Sethian and there are many questions that she needs him to answer; answers he might not want her no know.
Things are getting a bit emotional for Emily, and this separation from Sethian is hard for her.
 As shown by her constant worrying about emotional rejection from Sethian.


Claimed By The Elven King: Part Four 
4/5 ☆☆☆☆

After the announcement of Emily's pregnancy 

the Elven realm expresses a mix of joy and outrage 

of the first baby born in over 500 years. 

Not everyone is happy about the mixing of races between elves and humans 

especially when the human genes from their past maybe the reason why their females are sterile. 

Elven politics is not something Emily wants to be a part of,

 but the Elven court drags her into their deadly game. 

somebody wants her and her baby dead and the threats against their life

 just keep getting deadlier and deadlier.

Eternal Eden Review

2.5/5 ☆☆

WARNING: THE WORD TWILIGHT WILL BE MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH THIS POST!

How very Twilight of the book to have a centuries old immortal 

fall in love with a mortal only to the have his enemies tear them apart by trying to destroy one or both of them.

We have the loving and supportive siblings of immortals 

and may I just say that Nathaniel and Abigail are so Rosalie in this story.

 Too bad daddy isn't Carlisle he's so mean.

Honestly though I felt like all four twilight books were jammed into this.

minus the whole baby thing.

I didn't hate the book, but Gahhh I felt like I was reading a quick and very vague version of Twilight.

Twilight.Twilight.Twilight.

I mean I absolutely love Twilight, but geez

   Cora = Alice

                    Joseph = less intense Jasper

  Patrick = Emmit

Nathaniel = Rosalie

                                        Abigail = Rosalie diet with a hint of Esme

And our main lovers here William and Bryn are so the Edward and Bella of this story.

I fell their relationship is way more emotional then our vampire lovers from Twilight. 

(yay!)

Unlike Edward in New Moon William is less willing to leave his love

 behind "in order to protect her"

Sorry Edward, but I would rather have William by my side instead of you.

Bryn, like Bella, can not understand why someone as amazing as William

 (in Bella's case Edward) would love her. Talk about insecurities! 

 Although, Bryn is a bit more feistier than Bella

 they're both magnets for trouble and completely accident prone.

What I like about Bryn is that she is clever and almost everything that comes out of her mouth is laced with sarcasm and I love it.

But like I said

Twilight minus the whole vampire thing.

 I am pretty sure that these immortals are some form of angels,

 but so far they just call themselves Immortals.

 I know right! Very original.

Well I gave this story a two and a half stars, because it somewhat intrigued me 

(maybe because I am a Twi-hard)

but it was a way to simple and very unoriginal except for the whole making an immortal thing

that seemed pretty original

(I think)

Well so far I am interested enough to read the next book so let's see how it turns out

I doubt it can get anymore Twilight-Zone

 (Haha! Get it? I know, I know corny, but whatevs)

Becoming Alpha Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Tessa has always been an outcast

a loner

A freak

She has unusual gift that allows her to see visions of people's past with just one touch.

If she touches someone or  something that's been touched by someone else she'll get a vision and there is no stopping it.

She's had this gift her whole life and has been avoiding it by distancing herself from others and wearing gloves everywhere she goes.

Tessa and her family are moving to Texas for a fresh start.

  A place where no one knows about her gift and she can be as normal as possible.  

But I one night with an amazingly hot guy changes all of that for Tessa. 

One tiny little kiss is about to change her whole world. 

And if she thought her gift made her a freak then 

Being turned into a werewolf is going to be a trip for her. 

And her relationship with the mega hot guy 

Who turned her is about to get very complicated.

Not to mention the price they'll have to pay

for breaking the pack law

even if it was an accident. 

***

Paranormal Romance lovers  will adore this book!

I know I do.

With all the

Werewolves

Vampires

Witches

and oh yeah the attention whore

who can't let go of a man who was never hers to begin with

there isn't much in this book for you to hate.

Survival Review

 2/5 ☆☆

 There were many times where I wanted to smack my head against my nook. 

 Yes there were times when I was like "oh this isn't that bad."
 But no way Can I give this book a full three stars. 

It' made my head hurt through most of it. 

I was completely annoyed and multiple times thought about giving up on the book

But I won't lie I am interested in what happened Next.

Maybe I am Just doing some useless hoping here
 but I feel that the next book will be better that this one.
I hope.

About Maddie Pearce 

I get that she is clumsy, but God if her clumsy behavior is nothing more that just that
and not some horrible effect from some magic or paranormal (plot) twist or whatever
 I am going to blow my own brains out.
Yes it is funny sometimes, like when she almost burned the house down,
but I think her clumsiness was over played.
 It got old and annoying real quick.

Was it really that necessary for her to be a walking disaster?!

I can't really think of anything else I want to add. 

It was funny and all, but I am just so disappointed. 

I feel this could have been much better than what it was

Blood Promise Review

3/5 ☆☆☆

This book may not have been as exciting as the first three books,
but it was definitely important
because we get to see some serious
 character development on Rose's part.

Yes she is still the same old Rose
Sarcastic
stubborn
and
bad ass,
but we see a lot of maturity is some of the things she does.

Unlike when we first met her,
she no longer believe she can take on the world on her own. 

She knows that there are much stronger, bigger, and badder things out there then her.
she understands the importance of working with others and she
also learns a few more things about her world.

She takes things in and access the situation she is in before making her moves
and that is something she teaches a bunch of rogue Dhampir's she meets while in Russia
.
She is no longer by Lissa's side and although it is a strain on both of them this alone time
helps the girls to grow and deal with issues they so dearly need to handle.

For rose it's her resentment towards Lissa
 Not being able to be with who she wanted to be with,
 not being able to live her own life,
 and always having to put Lissa's needs and safety before her own.

All of these things make it hard for Rose to be around Lissa especially now that the love of her life is,

for all intents and purposes, dead.

Now we all know
- from reading the previous book -
 that the main reason for Rose leaving the academy is so that she can keep her promise

and not let Dimitri live his life as a strigoi.

And although she has learned a lot since coming back to the academy
and taking out a few strigoi of her own
 this promise might be one that she
 can not keep, and if she is not careful she might end up facing and fate worse than death.

The Fault In Our Stars Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Emotionally damaged.

I have been I have been utterly and irreversibly damaged emotionally by John Green 

and the characters of this absolutely wonderful novel.

but seriously

I do not care what you think you know about love or

 if you think that Bella and Edward had an amazing love story or

 even if you think that the story of Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy

because if you do then you are a fool.

Sorry but that is the truth. 

Hazel Grace is a sixteen year old girl who just happens to have cancer 

and although she's been given this miracle - the miracle being that the test drug that has been 

given to her has hardly worked on anyone, yet for some reason worked on her 

now extending her life by ... oohhh I don't know, but still longer than it would have been while she was lying on her death bed drowning from the liquid filling her lungs- she is still what she calls herself a grenade. 

Any day could be her last and thus she distance herself from others in hopes of lessening the damage 

she will create when her time comes. She keeps to herself, mostly, and her best friend is An Imperial Affliction - her favorite book.

That is until she meets Augustus Waters, a seventeen year old cancer survivor,

 at one of her support group meetings. 

Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters develop this beautiful relationship and together they 

embark on an amazing journey through this fantastic roller-coaster ride called life along with all of it's 

side affects.

Uglies Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

In a world where everyone gets to become pretty at the age of sixteen,

where everyone undergoes surgery to become the ideal image of beauty

and no one - except those who are underage - has to deal with 

the harshness of being ugly, 

how could anything possibly go wrong?

Tally Youngblood can not wait until her sixteenth birthday to finally have the operation
 so that she can be with her friend Perish in New Pretty Town
where all the new pretties live. 

Where everyone has big eyes, plump lips and high cheek bones and perfect skin. 

In New Pretty Town everyone's only job is to have fun.

It's been Tally's dream for as long as she can remember 

and in only a few weeks she'll be there partying with all her old friends
who have already gotten the operation.

All she has to do is keep out of trouble for a few more weeks
and she and Perish - her best friend - will be together again. 

Except Tally's new friend, Shay, doesn't want to become pretty.

She's convinced that the operation takes away more than just your ugly features.

Days before their birthday Shay decides to runaway

and take her chances outside the city to live
among other uglies who, like her, refuses to be made pretty.

When Tally is taken to New Pretty Town for her operation
she's exposed to a very ugly side of the pretties
working in special circumstances and  is given an ultimatum:
Find Shay and turn her and the other runaways in,
or stay ugly forever.

***

This book really shows how obsessed society is with looking a certain way.
It shows how cruel we can be to one another just because someone simply looks or acts different.
We give each other nicknames that point out our flaws just like the characters in the book
for example: Stick, Squint, Nose etc.
We make ourselves believe we are nothing because we are "ugly"
and most of us would risk our lives by going under the knife
and go through a massive surgery just to become "pretty",
to become accepted, without fully understanding
that we are just being brainwashed into thinking a certain way.
Being tricked into thinking that big eyes, a thin nose and full lips and a certain height
is what makes a person pretty.

I've read a few reviews before finally reading this book
and a few of the people who wrote them were upset because they
felt that this type of society is unbelievable, but I disagree.
 If you pay attention you can see how society judges people who look different
and they're telling people they have to look a certain way to be beautiful
and there are many people out there who would do anything
just to become "pretty".

Maybe if more of those people can read this book
or books similar to this they can see how wrong they are
and change some of their minds.

Possession Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

Once again we find ourselves in a controlled society where not everything is as it appears.

We have goodies who aren't really good,

Baddies who really aren't that bad,

Thinkers who can get into or control people's mind,

Creepy robots, and

A rebellion on the rise.

Walking with a boy 

Out past curfew

Wearing contraband

Not plugging in to her transmission at night

and Cutting and dying her hair

Yeah Vi has always been a rule breaker

A free thinker

You'd think that would be a good thing right?
(Being a free thinker I mean, not a rule breaker.)

Not in the City of Water.

Violet has gotten up to seven offenses.

It's off to prison for Vi after being spotted past curfew with a boy-
 even if he is her match or that Zenn is as good as they come. 

While in prison she meets Jag. 

A baddie.
 Probably the worse kind with his tanned skin and jet black hair.
You can tell, just by looking at him that he's a rule breaker.

At first Violet could not stand Jag
but soon they learn to depend on one another
and develop a close bond. 

They have to stay together to survive

But can she really trust a baddie?  

With all the lies, half truths, spies and betrayal
it's a wonder she can trust her self.

***

I loved this story
but damn 

Goodies

Badies

Thinkers

Come on! There could have at least been a little more creativity with the names here.

Oh well what's done is done.

The main reason why I love this book is because
Violent is a very strong  free thinking individual.
She refuses to be controlled and put into a category.

She's presented with many choices:

duty or death

Zenn or Jag

Left or right 

control or don't control

alone or together

But it seems to me that Violet is always fighting for a third option
 because she understands that not everything is either good or bad.
Somethings just don't fit in either category.

I also love how Jag isn't one of those guys who hides behind a mask - at least when it comes to Vi.
 The fact that he cries in front of her or let's her see when he's vulnerable has got to be the sweetest thing ever. Even if he is supposed to be this big bad ...Badie?

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy #3) Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

This third book in the Vampire Academy series is much more darker than the first two.

  Our characters relive the horrible events of what happened with Victor Dashkov

 when they find out about his trial hearing, and the possibility of him being set free.

Rose and Eddie deal with the death of a friend
and struggle to come to terms with all that they have been through
when they were kidnapped and held by the strigoi.
Lissa is practicing magic again

trying to understand and strengthen her control over her gift

and we all know what happens when she use magic.

Rose might be losing her mind,
unless you count seeing ghosts as something completely normal,
but even among the moroi and dhampir seeing things that aren't there
is not a good sign.

Moroi are being beat up around the academy,

Secrets are being kept,

The queen is making plans for Vasilisa's future,

and the safety of the academy is tested.

There's a storm coming 

One that the guardians may not be ready for.
People will die and
Rose will have to chose between the two most import people
to her in the world.

*sigh*
So much stress and Rose still has to worry about graduating
talk about a totally bummer!

Romitri shippers will have a feel trip in this book.
Things are heating up between these two
but it may be only a matter of time before
the truth about their forbidden love comes out.

Origins (Zombie Games #1) Review

 2.5/5   ☆☆

The only reason why this book got two and a half stars is
because the main character, Cassie Wild, actually knew how to defend herself
 and isn't a pathetic child how needs a guy to protect her every two seconds.

 She's brave,
bold,
smart,

She's a black belt
and daddy taught her how to use a gun!

   

The book was was okay.
It wasn't a complete loss. I liked it enough to not gag.

 It was an easy read and it is definitely the type of book you read
if you just want to sit back and relax. 

The story line isn't too complicated and it won't give you a major headache
and the fighting scenes aren't so graphic that they will give you nightmares
 if you decided to read this before bed.

The lack of zombie activity seriously made me want to beat the crap out of the book
but that's a big no, no since I was reading it my nook
and I kind of love my nook.
Usually at the beginning of a zombie apocalypse the world is
kind of overruned by hungry and vicious zombies not these lameos.
I was expecting a lot more chaos than this.
[[Yeah, I said lameos]]

I was also really looking forward to the romance between Cassie and Bryce 

but it got really annoying with Eva (the local queen bitch) throwing herself

 at him every two seconds and I hardy doubt that any guy is as dumb

 as he is to not understand what is going on. 

One minute he's all "I really like you blah blah blah"
to Cassie and the next he's letting the little trap hang all over him

and Cassie is trying very hard not to just kill Eva herself.
Seriously the girl has more self control then I do because if that was my guy
Eva would be taking a few lessons on
personal space...

Then there is this random solider who only knew Cassie for like five seconds

 and he's obsessed with keeping her safe

-as if she wasn't capable of doing it herself. 

 I swear when I get to the next book, if I find myself reading about
another obsessed guy bending over backwards to protect Cassie
because she is a girl or because she is cute,

even though she can pretty much take on half the people in her group,

 I am going to go on a craze rant about how completely idiotic and pointless
 all the male characters in this book are and not even bother to continue reading
 the series and just

           

I have read better zombie novel but when it comes to a series
you can't always judge it by only the first book
so hopefully the next books will be filled with a lot more action.
This is after all the end of the world
.... right?

Frostbite (Vampire Academy #2) Review

4.5/5 ☆☆☆☆

Everyone knows that love is complicated. 

Love is never easy when you're trying to figure things out

even more so when you're a seventeen year old dhampir in love with your twenty-four year old mentor.

A mentor who may be moving on to an older woman who can give him everything you can not. 

But who cares about love triangle nowadays 

they're not nearly as complicated as 

a love ...square? ... rectangle?

or maybe it's a circle. 

ugh!

help me out here, please!

Rose is definitely in love Dimitri.

Dimitri might have the hots for Tasha Ozera
(she definitely has it for him)

Mason would die for Rose 

and there's this new royal moroi, Adrian Ivashkov
who's constantly flirting with her.

Yeaahh... Love's a mess 

and no matter which relationship you ship

you will still end up like

Josh Dallas in my next gif

And gawd I want to say more about that 

but David Tennant is telling me to

 

So let me just jump right into the real drama here.

In the last book we learned that Lissa has a very special,
very rare set of abilities that put her 

in danger of not only strigoi,
but her fellow moroi as well. 

A guardians job couldn't get anymore harder.

Except ... well, until they soon find out that

life as they all know it will never be the same. 

Strigoi are out right attacking moroi
and dhampir in large groups with outside help.

Now if you know anything about the strigoi in this book then
you know that between the blood thirst,
savage killings and complete lack of
morality that strigoi usually end up  attacking each other unless there's
a yummy "snack" near by.
The strigoi often work alone or in small groups of maybe
two or three, but now 

They're doing the impossible and are working together.

They're organized, 

and it seems no matter how many trained guardians or wards the moroi put up

no one is safe anymore. 

Not even during the day.
They're breaking all the rules of typical strigoi behavior
and unless the moroi and dhampir can keep up
there is going to be a lot less of them
and a whole lot of strigoi to fight off.

Vampire Academy Review

4/5  ☆☆☆☆

If you have been unlucky enough to have seen the movie before reading the book

 -as I have- then I want you to forget everything you saw and felt about the movie. 

Forget about the actors, the acting, the storyline...everything. 

Just shake it all out of that pretty little head of yours.

 If you loved it, hated it, somewhat liked it, I don't care.

 forget it! 

Forget it all and read Vampire Academy and then decide how you feel about it.  

The movie is good, I liked it, but I might be a little bias because one of my lady crush stars as the bad ass Rose Hathaway. 

This book is the perfect example of "The book is better than the movie" line you hear from every die hard bibliophile.

Rosemary Hathaway is a kick ass Dhampir who has dedicated her life to protecting the Moroi -  Most importantly her best friend Vasilisa- against the strigoi.

Strigoi are undead vampires whose purpose in life is pretty much to drain blood and life 

out of every moroi, dhampire and human they come across.

Vasilisa Dragomir is a Moroi Princess.

The Dragomir's are one of the twelve royal families and  Lissa is the last of her bloodline.

Some time after the accident that killed her entire family, Lissa began noticing some weird things happening to and around her. The usually sweet and caring Lissa would experience violent mood swings, depression and sometimes got the feeling that someone was watching her.

After what happened to their teacher Ms. Karp and her warning about Lissa 

Rose does not hesitate in deciding to take Lissa away from St.Vladimir Academy 

to hide and live among humans to protect her. 

Two years on the run and the girls are caught and dragged back to the academy.

St. Vladimir is supposed to be a safe environment for both moroi and dhampirs

 but when Lissa starts getting threats in the form of dead animals in her dorm room 

and attacks against her from a jealous, stuck up, royal wannabe 

Rose goes on high alert and steps up her game as guardian 

and if you read this book you'll know that Rose is the type to punch first and find out who she actually hit later.

*incoming Rosemary Hathaway gifs*

If you haven't read Vampire Academy yet you should

and if all of the action isn't enough to get you to read this then please for the love of Romitiri (Rose+Dimitri)

pick up the book!

Richelle Mead is killing my heart with the adorableness of these two

and just look what it's doing to Amy Pond!
