Bloodline by Richelle Mead

Image
Hello again everyone! Just finished reading Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. It was certainly better than the vampire academy series in my opinion, but let me make this very clear, I did not finish that series so this one is a bit confusing. But still, I really like the storyline and characters in the book. You meet Sydney Sage, who apparently played a minor role in the Vampire Academy series, who is sent on a mission to redeem herself after assisting vampires despite the fact that she is an Alchemist. Needless to say, they are supposed to hate vampires. There she meets Jill, Lissa's sister from the original book series. She has gone into hiding after an attempt at her life at a council meeting. Her job is to make sure that Jill isn't discovered as a vampire. She runs into some trouble though with Adrian, another character from the original series, someone who she instantly does not get along with. The story follows her journey along with Jill and Adrian.  ...

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

Image
Hello again everyone! Today I finally finished Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. To be completely honest about this book, my expectations might have been a bit too high going into this. It was good, with a good story line, but the characters.... I just couldn't get into them. Not even the love interest Demitri. You start off the story by meeting Rose, the main character, and Lissa. They are running from these people, not saying who, who want to bring them back to the Vampire Academy. Of course, they get caught and are brought back. There we learn that Rose is Lissa's guardian and that Lissa is a princess and a very powerful vampire.  After that things basically go back to, what they say, things were before they ran away. Rose is portrayed as quite the slutty character by the author. She states many times that Rose makes out with boys she barely knows over and over again. You are introduced to the bad guys, the strigio, and some potential bitch characters like Mia, who ...

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Image
Hello again everyone! The book you see above is Divergent by Veronica Roth. It was recommended to me by a good friend who after shoving it in my face for days finally convinced me to move it to the top of my list.  Overall, it was a good book that was well written. The characters are well developed with good back stories and secrets. Come the end of the book I honestly didn't expect what happened to happen. You start off with Beatrice, part of the faction of Abnegation which is all about selflessness. Her whole life she has been told it is her duty to give to others until the choosing ceremony her and her brother must go to. They have six factor choices at this ceremony. They can choose to be Erudite, all about seeking knowledge. They can be Candor, all about telling the truth. They can choose Amity, the hippies of the group. They can choose Dauntless the brave daredevils that protect the cities. Or they can choose to stay Abnegation with their parents. Beatrice's brothe...

Endlessly by Kiersten White

Image
Okay, so let me start off by saying WHAT AN AMAZING FINISH! Look at that cover! Something so amazing calls for high expectations. And Endlessly has lived up to it completely. I have never heard one bad thing about this book. It is another third and final book in the Paranormalcy trilogy.  Main character Evie teams up with the unpredictable Jack, and to everyone's surprise and joy, Reth, to, first of all, save Lend who get's captured by the Dark Queen and then open a gate for all the paranormals in existence.   But of course nothing is as simple as it seems. Reth is still up to his mischievous ways, and in every way showing signs of being crazy. For some reason he is convinced that once the gate is open Evie is going to give up her life and her boyfriend to go into paradise with him. While at the same time Evie is trying to live with the fact that she can't walk into the same room as Lend without him passing out. With time running out and the people closest to ...

Bound by Erica O'Rourke

Hello everyone! I have started reading a little earlier then I had originally planned, and this is thankfully the first book I started with. So this is Bound, the third and final book in the Torn series by Erica O' Rourke. Let me just say, an amazing end to the series. The character I love the most, not saying which one ;), ends up with the main character and everything ends in a perfect way.  Of course there is a very long and crazy action filled scene, a few secrets everyone is hiding, and betrayals from people you honestly saw it coming from. I loved this book every page of the way. There were a few points where I wasn't sure whether I was happy or angry with where the story was going, but everything worked out in the end.  I would definitely recommend this book to others to read. And in my book it get's four stars for it's amazingly developed characters.  

Update

Hello Everyone! I haven't been reading anything lately, but rest assured I have a very long line up of books including Vampire Academy, and Divergent.  Now, I don't know when I'm going to get around to reading these books because my shelf is filled with books on books on books and work has been keeping me occupied. I just thought I would let everyone know that I don't plan on giving up the blog yet, and if you have any books you want a good review on just leave me a note and I will put it on my list ;) Have a great day where ever you are! :)

Destined by Aprilynne Pike

Hello everyone, the book you see above is Destined by Aprilynne Pike. This is the fourth and final book in the Wings series, a series I just started reading a few months ago.  I have to say I fell in love with this series from the very beginning. I loved Tamani, the fairy guard that was sent to watch Laurel our stories main character. In this story Yuki and Klea are on the prowl. A winter fairy, the most powerful of them all, Yuki hopes to help Klea destroy Avalon so that they can take over and rule. But as you know if you read the series Laurel and her friends won't stand by and let that happen. Together with Chelsea, David and Tamani by her side Laurel prepares for a battle for the safety of all fairies. Many will die and many will find that they are destined to do better things, just like David did. There is always some sort of action going on that keeps you one hundred percent attached to the pages, turning the pages so frantically that I got at least two paper cuts...
