The Silver Kiss

I really just did not like this book. I didn't really grasp the ending. The book just leaves something to be desired.
Just because i did not like the book doesn't mean that i don't think the author is talented. I respect the hard work that goes into writing a book. Don't take my word for it. Read the book and form our own thoughts. Let me know what you think of this book.

The Reckoning By Kelly Armstrong

Whoo hoo this book was predictable but enjoyable. I listened to it on audio. I do not think i would have finished this series had i been reading it myself. The person who read this book started out rough with the series but in this installment she became the "voice of the main character" However lacking in the male voices. Overall i was on the fence with this series. It gives you what your routing for but i am supprised they were able to draw out the story for 3 installments.

EverMore The Immortals Book One By Alyson Noel

There is not much i can say about this book without giving something away. So all i am going to say is that this book is worth reading however it did not leave me wanting to dive right into the second one. In fact I still haven't read the second one. While Alyson Noel is an exteremly talented writer i am not sure if i will read the second one any time soon.
Ms. Noel's take on immortals is interesting and creative and i have to admit not what i expected. (in a good way)This book is genre approprate so i would recommend to teens who enjoy supernatural romances.
The female main character is well developed with strong supportive characters.
Well done:)

Dark of The Moon: Dark Guardian Series by Rachel Hawthorne

Brittany is a misunderstood shifter who can't seem to really connect with the others in her pack. With the moon approching that will make her into a full fledged shifter her friends and the elders are concerned because without a mate women shifters often die during the shift.
  Not only does Brittany have to face her tranformation by herself she has to go through it with the knowlegde that her secret love interest is going through it with his declared mate at the same time.
  This book was GREAT I loved the writing and Brittany's Character. She gives off such strong "I am women i can do anything i set my mind to." vibes. The book kept you guessing all the way to the end.

Midnighters The Secret Hour

This book I went into having really no expectations. I didn't read the back of the book or the reviews on it. I liked the name and souly went by that. That being said this book is nothing like I usually read but I LOVED it. The imaginative approach westerfeld used was amazing. The names, abilities, general plot, and concept of the book was awesome and entertaining.
The math talk from the polymath of the group completely lost me, but thankfully they sneak an explanation in for what she says in her math gibberish.

I would recomend this book to teens and adults alike.

Tempted: House of Night Book 6

Oh...My...Gosh
someone dies~ is Kalona good or evil?~Why is Eric being a jerk?~All good questions..all i am dieing for the answer to. Can't wait for Burned in 2010

Untamed: House of Night Book 4

This series is a little messed up lol. Its a tribute to multi-partners being okay. At least thats what i am getting out of it. That is the wrong message to send to teenage girls now in days.
ON THE STORY LINE AND WRITING FRONT: This books is simply written which is wonderful for this genre and the writers keep you wanting to turn pages.

House Of Night: Betrayed Book 2

This review is my personal thoughts on the book and not necessarily a good way to review books but...anyhoo

First i would like to say that P.C.Cast and Kristen Cast are very talented writers and this review in no way is meant to bash them as authors.
Wow, Kinda figured this story was gonna go slow...it did. There are some very unexpected twists to this book. Which made it a better read, but still not my favorite series. These books follow a wiccan tradition with calling the elements and goddess worship. I completly disagree with their practices and i am having a hard time continuing to read them because of that element. I find myself skipping past the calling and rituals. I'm partial to my faith and open to others i am not, But all my personal issues aside the plots and twists of the story are great and keep you turning pages.

Heart Of The Dragon by Gena Showalter

~~~~This review may not be suitable for all ages. Viewer discretion is advised~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I'm not sure what to say about this book. It is the first adult book i have read in i don't know how many years lol. I have to say i was blushing through most of it. If you like hot sex books then...well this one has its share of scenes. Even though i am partial to the just bordering on the edge of sexual escapades i did find myself turning pages faster lol. Something i found odd about her writing is one minute the sex scene would be kinda poetic the words like cock would show up and just seemed out of place. *then again haven't read a book with actual sex scenes in years so maybe i have it wrong* I did find her dialog off beat and kinda corney. All and all i did like this book and will be reading the sequal but its not a re-reader kinda book.

Red Riding Hood 2011

Yahoo news is saying that the classic fairytale retold as a sexy gothic romance will be loved by Twilight fans all around and from the teaser trailer my money is on LOVING IT

Generation Dead Kiss Of Life

** spoiler alert ** ~~~~~~GENERATION DEAD: KISS OF LIFE~~~~~
It just keeps getting better...and worse. For some reason i am so drawn to these books. I never thought i would like a book about zombies and honestly when i tell people what the books about they look at me like i'm nuts for being interested and sympathic to the characters Daniel Waters has so wonderfully created. The books are funny and heart breaking. I find it hard to find fault in his writing. I have noticed now that i am proofing some of my writing that even books have errors that are in print. Other then that Awesome book.

I so badly want to slap some since into Pete, and now he is being encouraged by Duke and you would think after how the first one ended that he would have learned his lesson about messing with the DB population. But sadly the anti DB force is winning.

~Character traits

Pheobe~Torn between 2 DB boys she is not manic like the heroine of the Twilight Series (don't get me wrong i love those books) Finally a goth girl who is not all doom and gloom.

Adam~Strong and well funny i find that i love reading the parts where he is writing as if we are in the mind of Adam or should i say FrankinAdam

Karen: My fav character of the book. Her rebellious in your face i'm a zombie but i'll drink coffee if i want to is refreshing.

Read the book? List some of your favorite characters.

Generation Dead

Generation dead book 1 I love the way this was written I couldn't put it down the zombie humor and the thought of zombies dancing lober it! This books has a good message about racism using the ever popular interracial or in this case interbiotic dating. U really felt for the db kids. Lol read the book to find out what db means. I am anxious to get my hands on the second book. I give this book 9 out of 10 fingers

Such A Pretty Girl

Shay's Review

I love how this is written. It brings light to a very touchy subject. I have read books that talk about victums of molestaion but for me this shows the dirty truth that our justice system doesn't always make the right call when it comes to evaluating preditors. My heart goes out to anyone who has experienced this kind of pain and betrayl but especially those who have experienced with a trust family member and then have other you have confided in about it not believe what you say or worse yet not protect you as people in such a position should have protected a child.

"
***Recommendations: i would leave this one to the older teens and adults simply for the nature of the thematic elements in the novel.

Happy Reading Lovelies

Today her time has run out.

Perfect Chemistry

Shay's Review

What an awesome story! It reminds me of a modern day West Side Story. The style in which the book was written allowes you inside the minds of both the female and male main characters. The characters them selves were 3 demensional you really cared for them. I love books where you can see inside the minds of multi characters and routeing for this not so likely couple was quit enjoyable

SYNOPSIS

When Brittany Ellis walks into chemistry class on the first day of senior year, she has no clue that her carefully created “perfect” life is about to unravel before her eyes. She’s forced to be lab partners with Alex Fuentes, a gang member from the other side of town, and he is about to threaten everything she's worked so hard for—her flawless reputation, her relationship with her boyfriend, and the secret that her home life is anything but perfect. Alex is a bad boy and he knows it. So when he makes a bet with his friends to lure Brittany into his life, he thinks nothing of it. But soon Alex realizes Brittany is a real person with real problems, and suddenly the bet he made in arrogance turns into something much more.

Rocky Horror Ocala Review

Insomniac Theater Located in the Heart of Downtown Ocala Just across from the square on State Road 40

(Before I start, I would like to apologize to the Insomniac theater gang and viewers of this blog. My good camera was malfunctioning so I had to borrow my 11yr olds camera. Pictures are not that great but I promise next time will have better pictures lol)

First and for most make sure you reserve your tickets to showing of your choice. Seating is limited and the performance and atmosphere is well worth making sure you are able to get in.

We started out this venture with a last minute notice that The Insomniac Cast were still performing the Cult Classic Rocky Horror Picture Show….minus the picture J No throwing things allowed but call backs and audience participation are welcome. We almost did not get seating the awesome door attendents were able to squeeze myself and a fellow reviewer in. No special treatment here they did not know we were doing reviews. So THANK YOU wonderful door attendants for playing musical chairs for us.

Cast Review: Awesome! It would be unfair to pick and choose favorites with a cast this talented. Where they may have goofed in timing they more than made up for in passion for what they were doing. Acting was spot on with minor TECH difficulties with sound. However, nothing that would take away from the experience. The Cast handled it well the show must go on right. Cast members that stood out a little more than others  

           

Lips/Magenta She had this lazy bored seductive eye thing going on lol I’m not into women but she was HOT! Wonderful Job.

            RiffRaff Complete cutie sensational voice acting skills leaves nothing to be desire (and may I say a dead shoe in for LEX Luthor)

            Criminologist (I about died when the man changed into his blue halter I don’t think I yelled quite as loud for anyone else he was amazing.)

            Janet I was unable to get a good picture of Janet but she looked wonderful her timing voice and acting were fantastic

            In addition, one of the background dancers who just looked like there was no place else she would rather be.

            Frankinfurter, Brad, and Rocky: I have never seen men so comfortable in women’s clothing and scary enough that was such a turn on (I know I’m a sick puppy) lol JK I loved that they were confident if any of them were uncomfortable it did not show. Voices Rocked Acting Spectacular.

            Dr. Scott: Loved the guy who played him. However, the Eddie character was a little awkward. HE ROCKED that wheelchair and the legs oooh la la fishnets baybee loved it.


Criminologist and me



           

ONE THING THAT ROCKED MORE THAN ANYTHING: They had people of all sizes from teeny tiny girls to more full figured curvy girls I being not of the tiny persuasion was getting sick of seeing only thin girls flaunt what they got on the big screen and other plays. It’s about time that people throw self-consciousness to the wind and embrace who they are. I was knocked out by the diversity of the cast GREAT JOB GUYS!!! Can’t wait for the next show.

            I SUGGEST SWEENY TODD,love the music from that, or an audience participation version of grease lol cue cards work wonders. IF ROCKY HORROR is preformed again there I would suggest audience plants so that the audience becomes more involved. I got the feeling people didn’t participate as much because they were unsure of what was allowed during the participation parts.

THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT: the group dance on stage the audience was asked to join in the dancing fun fun fun.

THANK YOU to the cast and crew behind the scenes they worked just as hard as the actors and get very little recognition. YOU ARE THOUGHT OF and appreciated without you people there would not be a well functioning show.  
FUN PICTURES FROM THE NIGHT
