The Strange Power (Dark Vision BK 1)

Young Kaitlin is given an offer she can't refuse to take part in an experiment with 4 strangers with similar gifts. 
This book was very interesting the whole cover part of not all vampires are out for blood confused me but when it got toward the middle of the book it explained what that saying meant and i have to admit it was very clever on the authors part. The relationship between the 5 people in this book is both delightful to read and interesting to decipher. I would recommend this book to teens. There is mild language.
This book has been rebound into an omnibus all 3 stories in one.

Return To Labyrinth

Sarah makes it home with her baby brother Toby the Labyrinth and all its strange inhabitants forgotten That is until Toby Returns to the Labyrinth.Quick read that leaves you guessing. Like in the start why did the thing that was watching out for Toby say "you are no longer Jareth to me Jareth" to Toby? While the outline of the plot is predictable there are some fun new characters that leave you wanting to know more about them and some old ones that you know and love make an appearance  I look forward to the second book.

Books to Big Screen

I have recently heard that they are making some movies out of our beloved series. The first:
The Wicked Lovely Series.All teenagers have problems, but few of them can match those of Aislinn, who has the power to see faeries. Quite understandably, she wishes that she could share her friends' obliviousness and tries hard to avoid these invisible intruders. But one faery in particular refuses to leave her alone. Keenan the Summer King is convinced beyond all reasoning that Aislinn is the queen he has been seeking for nine centuries. What's a 21st-century girl to do when she's stalked by a suitor nobody else can see? A debut fantasy romance for the ages; superlative summer read.

Shiver
the cold. 
Grace has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—watches back. He feels deeply familiar to her, but she doesn't know why. 

the heat. 
Sam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the girl he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Grace...until now. 

the shiver. 
For Grace and Sam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Sam must fight to stay human—and Grace must fight to keep him—even if it means taking on the scars of the past, the fragility of the present, and the impossibility of the future.

A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.

Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.

Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.  (these are back matter and not written by me)

Nymph King (atlantis series)

Shaye is you typical love sucks men suck more kind of person. When she meets these macho socially inept sexually charged mega men she is utterly repulsed. Carried away to there strange world she is forced to live amoung these beings.
Shay is a delightful character the banter and the tension of will they or won't they is alot of fun to read. I admit i blushed through alot of the book. I would NOT recommend this to anyone under the age of 18 due to sexually explicit material.

Crave

I really liked this book. It kept you guessing on what was going to happen next and the end leaves you craving more.
Young girl with a blood disorder is receiving blood transfusions. When she begins seeing visions and possessing super human (which to everyone else is just normal) abilities like running at average speed or being able to swim she starts craving the blood she is receiving and the boy she is seeing/being in her visions more and more.
I would recommend this read for teens and adults alike.

Darkest Mercy

What a way to end a series. This book grips you and takes you on a thrill ride through the world of Fairie. Expect the unexpected and in some cases the expected. The only thing that I think needs to be done to this book, and well this goes for the whole series, I think they should have added an index in the back of who is who and what Court they belong to. While some of this series could stand alone with reading it is recommended to read these books in the order they are put out...tsk tsk no skipping ahead. I would recommend this book to teens and adults alike.

Darkest Mercy

Reviewing Melissa Marr's Darkets Mercy! The last in the Wicked Lovely Series.

Jewel Of Atlantis

I liked the story line of this book while graphic in some areas the storyline was every girls fantasy. Its your basic knight in shining armor who doesn't realize he's your knight until...well read the book.
While you suspect and then its comfirmed early on who Jewel is it is no less entertaining to see how Gray will react to who she is. Will he love her will he leave her? I thought i had it pegged but i was proven wrong. Its always nice when there is a twist.

Idrakula by Bekka Black

This was a modern take on the classic Dracula, i suppose you would have to have read the classic Dracula (or at least seen the movie which is now at the top of my list) to fully get this book and its brillance. I absolutly love the format of iDrakula it makes you feel like you were ease dropping on someones private conversation. Reading things in short spirts has its high points and low points. Visually it is stimulating but not very good for back ground information or detail. Don't take my word for it read it!!! I received the uncorrected proof of this book so maybe there is something i missed in final edits however the book was still alright and wonderful if you looking for a quick read that doesn't involve much brain power (at least until you read an autopsy report get your dictionary for that one if you not medically inclined) however you still get the gist.

New Moon

I was bummed the whole time reading this. How stupid. I introduce you to this mystical world and then i leave you defensless because its "better for you" blah lol okay okay i'm just bitter. While i can't say i am a team Jacob or Team Edward i will say that Steph Meyer's writing is both compelling and emotion provoking

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.
