Review: Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter #1) by Nalini Singh

Title: Angels' Blood
Author: Nalini Singh
Series: Guild Hunter #1

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux knows she is the best- but she does not know if even she is good enough for this job. Hired by the dangerously beautiful archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that no mortal wants his attention, Elena knows failure is not an option—even if the task is impossible.
Because this time, it's not a wayward vamp she has to track. It's an archangel gone bad.

The job will put Elena in the midst of a killing spree like no other—and pull her to the razor's edge of passion. Even if the hunt does not destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just might. For when archangels play, mortals break.

“How long have you been with Raphael?”
“You ask a lot of questions for a dead woman.”
“What can I say? I prefer to die well-informed.”
-Venom and Elena”

I’ve been a fan of Nalini’s for so long and yet I was so afraid to begin this series. I’m in love with Nalini’s Psy/ changeling series and I thought if I read and hated this series then I’d stop reading any book by the author. But none of this thankfully happened. I can’t say that I loved this series as much as I do the Psy/ Changeling or the Rock Kiss series but I definitely enjoyed it.

I’ve read a few books about angels and every book describes them differently. Nalini’s angels were no different. Nalini has created this whole new world. Her angels were unique. They were human-like, very sexual creatures but they were also dark and sometimes even evil, they ruled the world. The angels were at the very top of the pyramid, while the vampires followed and at the bottom were the humans. If you actually consider it, it makes sense. The angels were always high up the sky, the humans were down to the earth while the vampires were in between. Not quite humans but not angels either.

Raphael, the archangel of New York, is in need of the best vampire hunter. So, who’s better to do the job than Elena, a hunter with the ability to sense vampires? I really liked Elena. She was independent, strong, a survivor but above everything else she had a great sense of humor. She was very dedicated to her job and determined to see it through. On the other hand, Raphael was ruthless and as a member of the Cadre (a group of ten powerful archangels who ruled the world) he had to be. When he met Elena for the first time, he wasn’t sure whether to keep her or kill her. But somehow he fell for her. All Raphael saw in Elena was a strong warrior and a woman who hid behind a mask. A mask that Raphael wanted to remove. He wanted to see the real Elena, the person she never let anyone see.

I loved this couple.

The author managed to take their attraction to the next level and show us what they can become. They were so many twists and turns and the end was an unexpected one. I never saw it coming. Thankfully the second book is already out so we don’t have to wait to see what’s going to happen next.

Totally recommended!

Review: Darkness Avenged & Levet By Alexandra Ivy

Darkness Avenged (Guardians of Eternity #10)

By Alexandra Ivy

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




“Did something die in here?I smell”—"vampire.” - Levet

Darkness Avenged is the first book in the series that features a vamp/vamp pairing!

Nefri, the legendary vampire clan chief, is given a mission: find Gaius and bring him before the Commission.Little does she know that she's not the only one with this misssion.Santiago, is shocked to learn that his sire is still alive.After the Dark Lord was defeated, they all expected that his minions would be defeated as well.But Gaius has returned stronger that ever...

This book is a follow up to Cassandra and Caine's story.The danger that the Dark Lord posed may have passed, but a new threat seems to be rising more powerful and determined to destroy them all.

I really enjoyed the book despite the fact that not many of the previous characters made an appearance except of Styx, Viper and of course, Levet, who was present in too many scenes and as always managed to irritate Santiago and charm Nefri.

What I loved, was the secondary story of Roke and Sally, a witch previously seen in Fear the Darkness.I loved their story and I can't wait to read the continuity.

All in all, I loved the book and I highly recommend it.I hope the next book wil be about Roke and Sally....

Synopsis:

THE SEARCH FOR A TRAITOR

As the demon world celebrates the defeat of the Dark Lord, the vampire Santiago’s mood remains bleak. He still yearns for the sensual, raven-haired Nefri, who has inexplicably disappeared. But brooding for Nefri is a luxury that Santiago does not have. His traitorous sire, Gaius, is unleashing a violent scourge upon the mortal world, and Santiago must stop him before it’s too late...

LEADS TO A DANGEROUS SEDUCTION

To her dismay, the all-powerful Oracles have sent Nefri on her own mission to find Gaius, and failure is not an option. Nefri’s search leads her to the vampire’s abandoned lair—and straight into Santiago’s path. It’s clear Santiago intends to seduce her, but then an ancient, banished evil reappears, threatening to thrust the world into a madness it cannot survive...

Levet  (Guardians of Eternity #9.5)

By Alexandra Ivy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




“I may be small, but my powers are mighty.”
“So mighty that you’re hiding in a nymph’s apartment?” -Levet and Elijah

A pretty decent novella. Before reading it I thought that it would be about Levet and only him, but I was wrong.

Well, the story gives as insight to why Levet fled Paris and the reason he finally returned.I hated hated his mother...How could she be so cruel is beyond me!!!I have loved Levet since the beginning of the series and still do...

In his effort to achieve his goal, Levet meets a nymph named Valla.Valla, is hunted by memories of the past!But that changes when she meets Elijah, the "local" clan chief.All Elijah ever wanted was to find his mate, so once he did he thought things would get easy!How wrong he was...Elijah helps Valla fight her nightmares and together they help Levet fight his battles!

A very short must-read novella of the series...

I'm looking forward to reading Levet and Yannah's story!I really like them together and let me tell you just this: there is an amazing scene between them in Darkness Avenged .

Synopsis:

Gargoyles do not admire difference--and Levet is undeniably different. Of miniscule stature, rather beastly looks, and with fragile, delicate wings, even his family has shunned him, banished him from his beloved Paris. That he is the only gargoyle ever to help defeat the Dark Lord and his hordes of minions makes no impression. But now Levet has come home, determined to be restored to the official Gargoyle Guild. To do so, he must confront the most feared gargoyle in all of Europe. The one who tried to kill him as a child: his own mother. . .

With few allies, Levet's survival may depend on the aid of two strangers: Valla, a beautiful but damaged nymph, and Elijah, the fiercely possessive, love-struck vampire clan chief to whom she can't quite surrender--unless Levet has something to do with it. . .

The Indigo Spell By Richelle Mead

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines #3)

By Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



“Under normal circumstances, you inviting me to the bedroom would be the highlight of my day.” -Adrian

Although I finished this book a week ago,I couldn't bring myself to put it down,therefore my review has been delayed.

Ever since The Golden Lily,our characters seem to be maturing more and more.Especially Sydney.The thing about Sydney is that despite her being educated she can sometimes (aka always) be so judgemental and biased.I'm just glad that she finally overcomes this "problem" of hers because 1)she keeps breaking poor Adrian's heart and 2) it was getting one my nerves.

Adrian,oh Adrian...He is such a sweetheart.I really,really love him so much.He is so persistent and stubborn and protective and so many other thngs.What's not to love??? I was so confident that he could reach past Sydney's barriers and finally get to her.They were so in sync.I do not want to spoil anything but there is this scene where Adrian asks Sydney to dance in front of everyone.And when I say everyone,I mean every Moroi,dhampir or alchemist that has attended Sonya's wedding (oh,did I forget to mention that Sonya gets married?).Anyway,one word. M-A-G-I-C. That's what they have together.They are so compatible,so alike.I think that this scene is by far the most startling one in the whole book.

As far as Marcus Finch is concerned,I only have two words to say:Not Impressed,to say the least.I expected him to have a bigger role in the book but I cannot say that I'm sorry the he didn't.He's not an interesting character either.More like a bad influnce.There were times that I felt sorry for him,times that I was greatful to him for opening Sydney's eyes and times that I wanted to kill him.So,if you ask me what I think about him,I'm not sure what will my answer be...

The Indigo Spell was just perfect.It's a book worth-reading and a must for every shelf.The Fiery Heart is the next addition to the series which is going to include Adrian's ROV as well.So brace yourselves,perfect is about to reach the next level.I absolutely recommend this book and I can't wait for November 19th to come.

So,go pick it up right now!!!If not for anything else,you should at least read this book for the Sydrian scenes which are quite a few!!!

For more Quotes go here.

Blurb:

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.
But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.
Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…
Blaire just may have fallen too far.

And it's sequel......

Bloodspell By Amelie Howard

Bloodspell  (Bloodspell #1)

By Amalie Howard

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




'Love is a breeding ground for betrayal. Guard against it.”-Christian

Bloodspell is the first book I read by Amalie Howard.I really liked this book.I liked the fact that Victoria was so independent and I also liked Leto,the cat that made her see that not everything was lost.

Victoria Warrick likes to have controlof things but being on the verge of graduationand finding out about the powers she possesses,which she cannot always control,isn't her cup of tea.And on top of all,meeting Christian Devereux and learning that a relationship between them cannot be sustained is the tip of the iceberg.

I loved both the main and the secondary characters.They were all used throughout the book.What I mean is that in many books,the main characters get the majority of the book while the secondary ones are just mentioned so as the reader not to ger bored.

I'm so into vampires this period(who am I kidding???Love them) and it was so invigorating reading a book that combined both vampires and witches.

I definitely recommend Bloodspell and I'm looking forward to reading Bloodcraft.

Blurb:

The spell was simple...

Cruentus Protectum (Defend the Blood)

But what do you do if your blood is your enemy?

Victoria Warrick has always known she was different. An outcast at school, she is no stranger to adversity. But when she receives an old journal for her seventeenth birthday, nothing prepares her for the dark secrets it holds -- much less one that reveals she's a witch with unimaginable power.

What's more, when she meets the dazzling but enigmatic Christian Devereux, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. Enemies will hunt her. Friends will turn on her. The terrible curse that makes her blood run black will stop at nothing to control her. And Christian has a sinister secret of his own...

Without knowing whom to trust, can Victoria survive her blood's deadly desires? Or will she lose everything, including herself?

Angel Betrayed By Cynthia Eden

Angel Betrayed (The Fallen, #2)

By Cynthia Eden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




“I figure you owe me, Fallen.”

“Seems you told me that before.”

“Well, yeah, I did. Because every time I turn around, you’re owing me.”

LOVED IT!!!!!

Oh...Cynthia Eden you did it again.I just can't resist reading your books.Once again here I am giving 5 stars to an incredible book.Angel Betrayed is an amazing addition to The Fallen series.Since Angel of Darkness I've been patiently waiting for Sam's story and finally I read it!!!

Wow...Sam and Seline????Talk about chemistry.Especially with an angel and a half succubus. Well done Seline!!!Playing with a fallen.

So,the story goes like:girl is in danger,she goes asking for help from a fallen and he decides to play good.Boy helps girl(can bad boys do that???)until he realizes that looks are deceiving.But not everything is a lie.Girl tells the (half) truth to boy and he wants to play the good knight in the shining armor and save the damsel in distress.One tragedy follows the other and we come facing the question:What would you sacrifice to save your love???Would you spent a thousand years burning in hell just to see your beloved one???Maybe not you but Sam definitely would.That's why I love him so much...

Not much more to say other that you should,no you must absolutely read Angel Betrayed.I definately recommend it and I can't wait to read Angel in Chains,the third book in The Fallen series(I'm not sure but I think it will be about Tomas and Sierra) and hopefully not the last.

Blurb:

A LITTLE BIT OF ANGEL LUST.
Sammael – call him Sam – was an angel once. An angel of death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days, he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…

Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favor. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…

Once Burned By Jeaniene Frost

Once Burned  (Night Prince #1)

By Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well,this is the first book I read by Jeaniene Frost and I'm really impressed by the flow this book had.I never got confused or lost interest in what I was reading.Nevertheless,I have to admit that it wasn't quite what I expected it to be but it definately reached my expectations.

Leila is our brave heroine who gets to have a relationship with a very old but handsome vampire.Their story begins when Leila gets kidnapped and seeks help from the person her captors told her to find with her extraordinary abilities.Vlad Tepesh isn't your average vampire.With the ability to control fire he's feared among his kind.

When Leila calls out to him,he is immediately drawed to her and thus saved her and takes her to his "humble house".While there,they both experience new things and emotions.But simoultaneously they decide to explore their passion as well.

I liked Once Burned it wasn't something new to me,as I love to read stories about vampire,but it had something unique in it!

I definately recommend this book and I'm looking forward to reading Twice Tempted,the sequel to Once Burned.

Blurb:

She's a mortal with dark powers...

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...

He's the Prince of Night...

Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him—a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

Lethal Rider

Lethal Rider 

By Larissa Ione

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've been waiting so long to read this book and I have to say that it really reached my expectations.We met Regan and Thanatos in Immortal Rider where the two of them has a series of unexpected incidents which lead to the expected result,at least for Regan.

After eight months of particularly being in "comma" Thanatos awakes to take revenge of the person responsible for his condition.But what he doesn't anticipate is finding Regan pregnant with his child(or should I say his agimortus).Regan knew the consequences of the decision she took long ago and was ready to pay them,but is she now?

I really liked the book(well it was better than the previous one)it had a nice flow and the plot was believable.The characters had a hard job to accomplice but nevertheless they did,they worked through their problems and really understood each other.I also liked the end.The way their former "guardian" tried to protect them even though when he knew what his future might hold he risked it all just to save one of them.

Anyway,I'm looking forward to reading the following book Rogue Rider(although he's a meany his very "sweet" thumbs up for Reseph)

Vampire Academy Series

So,like I said in a previous post I would like to review series...!!!!I'm going to start with Vampire Academy  as it happens to be my favourite one.Hope you enjoy.!!!

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1)
By Richelle Mead

My Rating: 5 Stars

Blurb:

St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger...

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

My review:

First and foremost,I would like to say that I looooove and admire the author and the way she created all these characters and places.In this series there are three types of vampires:The Moroi (royal pureblood vampires),the Dhampir(a mix of moroi with humans or dhampirs,who are guardians) and the Strigoi (the evil vampires who are supposed to have no soul).

Our two heroines are:a Moroi vampire Princess named Lissa and a dhampir named Rose.When things get complicating for our heroines after Lissa's parents car accident,the two decide to live St. Vladimir’s Academy.But how much longer can they run?Not much.Soon,the academy takes action and sents a group of guardians to bring them back.Leader of the group is our "hero" Dimitri Belikov(Oh god I looooove him).
While their time back in the academy the two girls try to adapt ,although they know that such a thing is not happening any time soon.Someone is trying to drive Lissa crazy or so she thinks,and someone is falling for his tutor. Hint:It's Rose.After loosing valuable time away from her training Rose is forced to take an extra fighting class with who else but the best Dimitri Belikov.

A romance will be created while loyalty will be judged.

But what they haven't yet realized is that more things are at stake than they thought.

Frostbite (Vampire Academy #2)

By Richelle Mead

My Rating: 5 Stars

Blurb:

Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose...

It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if hand-to-hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad enough, Rose’s tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason’s got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa’s head while she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks... This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.

But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price...

My Review:

Winter break has come and it freezes all,included emothions.While Lizza is better than ever Rose doesn't feel like it.She has many problems and not just emotional ones.Christian's aunt Tasha(the b***,I like her,I really do but  how dare she to take Dimitri away from us) comes into the play and decides that she needs a guardian and who can be better than an old friend?

As all these things weren't enough,everyone has to deal with the danger of strigoi.With the danger lurking the academy takes its break in a luxurious resort.The strigoi attacks become a major problem for all and so Mason,one of Rose's friend and maybe something more,decides to play the hero.Things will get more complicating while lives will be put at risk.

A new character will come to bond with the heroines while friendship and duty will take a different meaning.A tragedy will bring them together but the spirit will reap them apart...

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy #3)
By Richelle Mead

My Rating: 5 Stars

Blurb:

Is Rose’s fate to kill the person she loves most? It’s springtime at St. Vladimir’s Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason’s death, Rose hasn’t been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can’t concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret . . . .She’s in love with Dimitri. And this time, it’s way more than a crush. Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever…

My Review:

It's hight time,Rose learnt that life is full of surprises and the most occur when you don't expect them.Life has become harder in St. Vladimir's Academy and the end has almost approached.

Rose sees things that don't make sense and this ruins her whole performance at the academy.Adrian (I love him but I'm a Dimitri fan) comes into the scene when he is most needed and figures out the real source of Rose's problems.Spirit is now affecting Rose than Lissa,but as a loyal friend that she is,she refuses to take Lissa's gift but telling her the truth.

A "trip"to the royal court makes things better and cools thing up for the whole group .But when they get back to the academy emotions will intesify and inevitable actions will made.An attack at the academy will forever change all..

 Is love strong enough  to defeat  death?Is friendship more importantthan what your heart desires???

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4)
By Richelle Mead

My Rating:5 Stars 

Blurb:

Rose Hathaway's life will never be the same.

The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck, a mark that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters . . . Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?

Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?

My Review:

Love hurts.

Nobody else knows this better than Rose.She saw Dimitri "die",she left her Lissa for him and now she must keep her promise to Dimitri.The promise she made to him  long ago.Rose travels to Russia to find Dimitri and instead she finds an Alchemist,Sydney.Sydney helps her to get to her destination and find what she's looking for.But an accident brings her to meet a powerful Moroi,Abe.He(for unexpected reasons) wants Rose to leave Russia and return back to the US.She on the other hand,goes to Novosibirsk and hunts with friends she met in Baia (Dimitri's homeland).

The good news is that she actually finds him,the bad....he kidnaps her and forces her to remaine with him.But Dimitri has other plans.He wants to turn her and she doesn't.On her attemp to escape she and Dimitri fight and she stabs him.

She returns to the US with the hope to continue her life peacefully with her friends but her hopes are dimmed   when she receives a letter.

Love was never as painful as it is now...

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy #5)
By Richelle Mead

My Rating:5 Stars

Blurb:

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It's graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives outside of the Academy’s cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri. He's out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won't join him, he won't rest until he's silenced her...forever.

But Rose can't forget what she learned on her journey—whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose's prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what—and who—matters most to her. In the end, is true love really worth the price?

My Review:

Back at the Academy it's time for gratuation and letter after letter is arriving (or should I say warnings).Lissa and Rose go to the Royal court to find information about the prison where Victor is held.Victor is the main link to find Robert,his half-brother,who knows how to restore a strigoi to his orifinal form.The adventure begins in Alaska(really great scenes,love the book) and ends in Las-Vegas.There they find Robert who says that a strigoi is restored only when a spirit user stakes him/her.

But who is really going to do it???Lissa or Adrian???

I'm not going to say,but what I'm going to say is that Dimitri will be restored and imprisoned for his "sins".Though everyone will get calmer as time pass.

A murder wil bring everything upside down and once again loyalty will be judged.

Bloodlines (Bloodlines #1)
By Richelle Mead

My Rating: 4 Stars

Blurb:

The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

My Review(actually my favourite line from the book):

Adrian’s new research partner stepped through the door, and I knew the uneasy peace we’d just established in Palm Springs was about to shatter.
Dimitri Belikov had arrived.
OMG...I don't think it can get any better.!!

But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead's breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive.

Handsome, charming and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous . . .


Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours are killed and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world with death and destruction, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

The Vampire Stalker

The Vampire Stalker 

By Allison VanDiepen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




I can't believe it..

This book is a dream that has come true.I mean who wouldn't wanttheir book heroes to be real?I had it quite a while in my to-read self but hadn't noticed it until two days ago.

The story takes place in Chicago:

Amy Hawthorne is a seventeen year old book lover waiting to read "The Mists Of Otherworld" written by Elizabeth Howard.The book begins with Amy and her friends,Luisa and Katie,waiting outside of a bookstore in order to buy the book.Meanwhile we learn(by Amy's knowledge)Alexander's life story.Alexander is a young man whose family was murdered by Vigo.So, Alexander wants to take revenge by killing Vigo.After reading Elizabeth's book Amy is frustrated as the author doesn't reveal whether Vigo was killed or not.

After the school dance,Amy,is attacted and a man who is looking like Alexander saves her.At first she doesn't recognise him but when he introduces himself and shows her evidence about who he is,she is convised.

The adventure to kill Vigo and find out the truth about how their are in her world begins.They both want answers about how the author knows so much things of Alexander's world,how to find Vigo and what is going to happen when he's dead.

I really liked the book,in my opinion everyone would like to have their heroes with them.I loooooved both the main and second characters as no matter the obstacles they stuck together and tried to deal with the situation.The book also had some really amazing scenes,surprises and was full of laughter.

I recommend this book to everyone who all they ever wanted was to have his/her heroe with them.

Lothaire

Lothaire (Immortals After Dark, #12)

By Kresley Cole

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Well,to begin with,this book was very intriguing and interesting.It gribbed my attention from the first page till the last.Although,it's not the first book we see Lothaire it's the first time to actually see that he does have feelings.So the question is,who are his feelings for?

The book begins with Saroya the Soul Reaper,the supposed to-be Lothaire's mate,being exorcised from her latest possession,Elizabeth Peirce.Ellie's mother bilieves that Soroya is a demon who has possessed her doughter.While being in Ellis's body Soroya kills,cause that's her hobby and pleasure.Not knowing what to do her mother calls the police and so she ends up in jail.Just before her execution,Lothaire breaks in and saves a very unwilling Ellie.After having saved her he takes her to his "mystically protected" New York mansion.Although,at first they are very mad and hate each other they finally grow fond.Lothaire is awed by Elizabeth's courage,wittiness and determination but nonetheless he has a vow to keep to Soroya.So as Lothaire continues to seek Dorada's ring,in order to get rid of Ellie's soul,Ellis decides to win his heart and thus her freedom.

Lothaire feels compelled to fulfill his vows not only to Soroya but also to his mother,Ivana,and feels very pressed about his choices.While spending time with Elizabeth,Leo,as Ellie calls him,feels more sane than he has felt in years,younger and refreshed.To absolute contrast with his feelings towards Elizaneth,Leo can't stand Soraya and finds her utterly disgusting,annoying and intrusive.Finally,after some complications to his Endgame(tasks)La Dorada kills Soroya's soul and Lothaire "borrows" Dorada's ring and turns Elizabeth into a vampire who can walk in the sun,without her permission.Elizabeth is extremely mad at him and complecated with her feelings that does something unforgiveable to him.Lothaire,becomes a king without a queen.Will Lothaire be able to forgive his Elizabeth and gain her heart again?

I really loved Lothaire's book and I look forward to reading the next book of The Immortals After Dark Series.This book was perfect in so many ways,for example its secondary characters Hag or else known as Balery who is Lothaire's oracle,Thad Lothaire's only friend(his so cute and he always refers to Lothaire as Mr.LOthaire)and a character that will suprise you,Nix.Turns out that Nix and Lothaire were good old buddies who stopped being friends because Nix "betrayed" him,something she did not.I hope that the next book will be about Nix.I felt so sad about her in this book,she was so fragile and one step before madness.She definately deserves a man and a happy-ending.

Darkness Dawns

Darkness Dawns 

By Dianne Duvall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was an amazing book.I really loved Sarah and Roland and I believe that they were really good for each other.

In the beggining of this book Roland is very badly injured when Sarah finds him and takes him to her home in order to treat his injuries.There she suspects that something is wrong with him.After having fully recovered Roland tells her that he is a C.I.A agent under cover and that's the reason he can't go to the hospital.Cause he'll blow his cover.But the truth is that he is an immortal gifted guardinan protecting humans from vampires.So when Roland tells her to go with him,becuse now that she saved him she might be in danger,she immidiately follows him.But it won't be too long before she figures out what he really is and when she does,the adventure begins.

I really loved the couple and admired them for their strengh and courage.They both finally found something to love and live for.My favourite scene was when Marcus caught the couple making love in Seth's sofa.It was so embarrassing and hilarious.!!

So,here it is:

Seth smiled. “No, he only mentioned it to me and David so we wouldn’t intrude.”

She groaned. “Oh, lovely. I’m sure that went over big. Don’t go home without calling first, David. They might be having sex on your couch.”

Roland laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she covered her red face.

Seth’s dark eyes danced with merriment. “Actually, we weren’t given the details. He only said he had accidentally disturbed you when you were not prepared for company.”

Lowering her hands, Sarah stared up at Roland with rueful eyes. “Why do you even let me open my mouth?”

Lord of the Vampires (Royal House of Shadows, #1)
By Gena Showalter


My rating: 5 of 5 star

I really Like it and I hope the next three books to be as good as this one.I really love Gena Showalter and the way she writes.One minute you feel so happy that you are ready to burst and on the onther you want to cry so hard.Anyway,I look forward to reading the other three books and especially the forth book of Royal House Of Shadows Lord of the Abyss .I just finished Lord Of The Vampires and wanted to show you how good it is.So,here it is:

ONCE UPON A TIME, in a land of vampires, shape-shifters and witches, the Blood Sorcerer coveted the only power denied him: the right to rule. He and his monstrous army attacked the royal palace, slaughtered the beloved king and queen of Elden and sought to do the same to Nicolai, the crown prince, as well as his three siblings, Breena, Dayn and Micah.
The sorcerer succeeded in all but the latter. He had not counted on a king’s hunger for retribution and a mother’s love for her children.
Just before expelling his final breath, the king used his power to fill his offspring with an unbreakable need for vengeance, ensuring they would fight for eternity to claim their due. At the same time, the queen used her power to send them away, saving them. For the time being.
Only, the king and queen were weak, their minds fogged from pain, and their magic conflicting.
And so, the royals were now bound to destroy the man who had slain their parents, yet they were also cast out of the palace, each flung to different kingdoms within the realm with only one link to the Royal House of Elden: a timepiece, given to them by their parents.
Nicolai, the Dark Seducer as his people called him, had been in bed, but not alone. He was never alone. He was a man known for the violence of his temper as well as the deliciousness of his touch; and after his youngest brother’s birthday celebration, he’d adjourned to his private chamber to sate himself on his newest conquest.
That’s when the dual natures of the enchantments struck him.
When he next opened his eyes, he’d found himself in another bed—and not with his chosen partner. He was naked still, only now he was chained, a slave to the very desires he’d evoked in his lover. Desires that had mingled with the magic and sent him straight to the Sex Market, where he was quickly sold to a princess of Delfina, his will no longer his own, his pleasure no longer his own, his timepiece stolen and his memories wiped from his mind.

But two things could not be taken from him, no matter how fervently the princess tried. The cold rage in his chest and the blistering need for vengeance in his veins.
The first, he would unleash. The second, he would savor. First with the princess, and then with a sorcerer he could not quite remember, but a sorcerer he knew he despised all the same.
Soon.
He had only to escape....
