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!

The Nightlife : New York Review

5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

[17+]

[Excuse me while I do my best Kenzi (lost girl) Impression]

Lap dances, strippers, escorts, oh my!

Vampires, blood, sex, oooh my...

Masters, blood slaves, corruption,  ooh crap balls!

***

The Nightlife: New York by Travis Luedke is exciting, violent and sexy!

This violently sexy story introduces us to Aaron Pilan, a young man who has been emotionally neglected by both his estranged mother and ex-girlfriend.
His only friends are Delia , a bratty and selfish ex, and his roommate Kyle.
Aaron lives his life day to day and has depressingly fallen into a routine of work, buying beer for his friends,  pining over his ex.

His life sort of resembles that of Wesley Gibson from the movie Wanted.
If you saw the movie then you know that

Wesley had a depressing life of:
lousy job
 bitchy girlfriend
 shitty friend
 eat, sleep, shit
 and if he was lucky things got really exciting
 when his body decides to give him a good ol panic attack.  

So, yeah... basically he was a flat out loser. 

Until fate put him in the path of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
For Wesley it was a smoking hot female named Fox.
For Aaron it was the beautiful Michelle.

Turns out Michelle is a vampire.

Aaron's first encounter with Michelle leads to him getting shot
after she is forced to defend herself against two disgusting and corrupt cops.
She briefly considers leaving him to die but his attempt to
save her from the other two men made her feel a bit
responsible for him being injured.
Guilt gets the better of her
and she decides to do what she promised herself
she would never do.

She saves his life, although by doing so
 she has not only turned him into what she is,
 but has also bound him to her for eternity
 - a lifetime of servitude.   

She may be his master and he her servant,
 but to Aaron being bound to his savior is the best thing that could ever happen to him.
Even if that does mean leaving everything he knows behind
Or that she is probably a bit psychotic.

One mistake could cause him to lose his life at the hands of this beautiful creature
yet he couldn't imagine a life without her.

Turns out Aaron is a natural at being a vampire
and soon learns to love his
new life with Michelle
but things go downhill pretty fast for our vampiric duo
when a couple of corrupt cops are out for revenge against Michelle
and Delia's jealously kicks in
but Michelle's quick and violent temper and trust issues might be the real threat.

Devour Review

4/5☆☆☆☆

We all know what happens when an immortal being and a human fall in love.

All hell breaks lose!

Eli is a devour. 

His kind feeds off of the negative emotions that humans feel.

They force them in to a reverie and well mostly scare the living poo out of them

so that they can feed.

 They think highly of themselves and believe themselves to be the superior race over all species.

Although it is his nature to be -what he considers - evil, he fights it. 

For years he has fought his nature yearning to be human, 

refusing to force fear or lust (or any negative emotions) onto people, he feeds on  whatever emotion someone may be feeling as he passes by. 

Of course for someone of his kind that is an impossible way to live

and he suffers dearly for it. 

Until he meets Clara.

For some reason Clara is different to him. 

He can feel positive emotions from her, something that he has never felt before. 

He grow an attachment towards her,but as they grow closer and their bond grows stronger trouble finds it's way toward them.

The devourer counsel is after them now -thanks to a jealous and vindictive devourer named Angelina- Eli because he is a traitor to his kind and Clara... well, because she is simply human.

What is there not to love?

The First days (as the world dies) Review

5/5  ☆☆☆☆☆

Another amazing Zombie Book !

The First Days is the first book in the As the world dies trilogy.

 Here we have Katie and Jenni - two women thrown together in this new world of death and mayhem.

Jenni watched her abusive husband eat her children 

and stood in horror as she watched them both die and came back to life.

 No, not life.

 Whatever they were they weren't living.

 They were vicious creatures with an intense hunger for human flesh and their main course was their own mother and wife. 

Katie was attacked on her way to work by a man who had his guts hanging out, but the real trauma for her was when she fled home only to witness that her beautiful wife had turned and was savagely attacking their mailman. 

Together these two completely different women develop a strong bond.

They do everything  they can to survive in this new world and soon find out that although they would do anything to have their old lives back, where everyone they love is still alive, they were

Made for this world.

 Jenni is pretty great with a rifle and a bit trigger happy. 

Katie too seems to have adapted to this new world doing all that she can to survive and protect her new home, and yea she's also handy with a gun. 

In this story you'll meet a bunch of characters each with different personalities and each struggling in their own way to over come the losses they have all suffered.

Together our survivors learn to accept new friendship, love, tragedy, and all the complications that comes along with the end of the world.

     

***

Yes! Slow clap it out for Rhiannon Frater pleeease. 

This book is fan-freaking-tabulous!

Seriously there is no way this book could disappoint you. 

I mean I waaassss hoping for a three way romance between - 

well you'll see when you read it .

Shiver Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

by Maggie Stiefvater

Grace has always been fascinated by wolves. 

Despite being pulled of her tire swing and being attacked by a pack of wolves she can't help her obsession with them, especially for the yellow eyed wolf who saved her life.

Sam is a boy with a troubled past, a complicated life and an even worrisome future. When Sam was just a kid he was bitten by a wolf which in time turned him into one. Through out the summer and warm temperated seasons he is  allowed to live his life a human, but when winter comes and the air is cold the wolf comes out. 

He can't control it and there is no cure and worse of all this may be his last year turning into a human.

    Like all shifters Sam is running out of time. 

Every shifter has an expiration date- when they stop going back and forth between human and wolf. It's a curse he cant escape but at least as a wolf he can watch over her.

     From the edge of the woods in her back yard he is there, watching her. He's there during the winter days watching, but so is she. She knows he's out there. her wolf. The wolf that saved her six years ago. He is always there

.

     When a local boy dies and the wolves are threatened Sam ends up on Grace's back door wounded with a bullet hole in his neck. Grace should be scared of this stranger in her backyard, but one look into his eyes and she knows it's him. Her wolf, only he isn't a wolf any more.

     Together they fight against unbeatable odds, a jealous wolf and the possible exposure of what Sam is. Can their love get them through the chaos of Sam's world and even more importantly can they hold of winter to keep Sam from changing back into a wolf permanently? 

***

I have no idea what to say other then READ THE FREAKIN BOOK!

This book was pretty interesting. 

A whole new side to this werewolf-thing-a-ma-jig.

Here is a story where the curse of the wolf is actually a curse.

Broken Silence

5/5☆☆☆☆☆

Broken Silence (silence#2)

Synopsis

Determined to make sure that her father and Frank end up in prison for life

 Can Oakley handle the stress of the trial and seeing Cole -the love of her life- again? 

    

 Oakley's emotional limits are about to be pushed and she isn't sure if she is capable of handling all of the attention and anxiety that comes with standing up for herself and the other victims like her.

 Oakley is a strong and determined person but will she be strong enough to take control of her emotions long enough to land her father and Frank in jail? 

Or Will the whole situation get the better of her?

     Will Oakley be able to face Cole after hurting him all those years ago? 

Join Oakley as she attempts to move pass her horrible past and finally gain closer in this second book of Natasha Preston's Silence series

***

So, I don't usually read book like this, but both Silence and Broken Silence were flipping fantastic. 

It was hard reading this story. I can not imagine what it must be like to go through something like this and I pray for all the Oakley's out there in the real world. I pray and hope that they know that they are not alone and that it is okay to speak up and be brave.

 Natasha Preston did a wonderful job at writing these books and I am sure I will be reading more of her stories soon.
