Waiting on Wednesday (15)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.

This week's pick is Lunarmorte by Samantha Young. Lunarmorte hits shelves ???



About~ The final battle is brewing between Vampires and Slayers. But for Sunny McDonald, the true war is being fought over her heart.

Though now officially back in the arms of her vampire boyfriend Magnus, Sunny finds she still can't forget the gentle mortal Jayden who once saved her life. And when the darkness threatens to steal his humanity, Sunny finds herself with a choice. Stay true to Magnus and the Blood Coven or defy them in a desperate attempt to save Jayden’s soul.

Meanwhile, the Blood Coven is gearing up for its toughest fight yet--going head to head with a splinter group of Slayer Inc who's regrouping in Tokyo, Japan, still determined to take over the world. In dark blood bars and hidden temples, it'll be Vampires vs. Slayers in a showdown that could cost Sunny not only her heart...but also her very life.

My Thoughts~ This book sounds soo good. I can't wait till it releases. I love books like this. I am sitting on the edge of my seat by reading the discription only. And I just love the cover. What do you think?

Happy Reading!!!

I waited to hear his truck turn around before I switched off the porch light and went into the house. I was unbuttoning my blouse as I walked, tired and ready for bed.
Something was wrong.
I stopped in the middle of the living room. I looked around me.
Everything looked all right, didn't it?
Yes. Everything was in its proper place.
It was the smell.
It was a sort of penny smell.
A coppery smell, sharp and salty.
The smell of blood.

Review: The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Shadow Souls by L.J. Smith

About~ Elena Gilbert’s love, the vampire Stefan Salvatore has been capture and imprisoned by demonic spirits who are wreaking havoc in Fell’s Church. While her friends Bonnie and Meredith explore the evil that has taken over their town, Elena goes in search of Stefan.

In order to find him, she entrust her life to Stefan’s brother, Damon Salvatore, the handsome but deadly vampire who wants Elena, body and Soul. Along with her childhood friend Matt, they set out for the slums of the Dark Dimension, where Stefan is being held captive. It is rumored to be a world where vampires and demons roam free, but humans must live enslaved to their supernatural masters…

Elena will stop at nothing to free Stefan. Yet with each passing day the tension between Elena and Damon grows, and she is faced with a terrible decision: Which brother does she really want?

Back in Fell’s Church, Bonnie and Meredith have made some dire discoveries. They hastily try to follow Elena and warn her—only to be caught up in Elena’s most dangerous adventure yet.

My Review~ I love so many things about this book, I don’t know what to start complementing on first.

Well, I guess I could start on how I love that Elena’s character matured. She is no longer the girl who cares about her looks, but instead she cares about her friends, Stefan, and the town of Fell’s Church, and she would do anything to protect them all.

I also love that readers got to see a whole new side of Damon. Readers not only get to see the bad-ass vampire Damon Salvatore, but they also get to see the vampire side of him that cares for Elena and his little brother Stefan.

Speaking of Stefan, as the story went, I started to miss Stefan more and more. I missed how he and Damon fight, I missed how he tells Elena how much he loves her, and I just missed Stefan altogether. He’s an easy character to love.

And as always, I love the fact that the story is told from many different point of views. I also love all the new characters; like Lady Ulma and Sage for example.

But what surprised me the most was the ending. It was never what I would have expected. Not by a long shot. This might be the best book in the series as of yet. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in the next upcoming book in The Vampire Diaries series. I recommend readers to put this book on their TBR pile pronto.

Waiting on Wednesday (14)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.

This week's pick is Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton. Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton hits shelves April 26, 2011.



About~ The murder of her parents has left Silla damaged and lost, and Silla's insistence that her father is not to blame only alienates her further from her friends and family. When a mysterious spell book arrives, Silla hopes it will lead to some answers about her parents' killer. In her first attempt at magic, in an old graveyard near her home, Nick, the new boy in town spies on her; he recognizes the magic that Silla is performing as the same magic his mother performed with him, before she went mad. Before long, Silla and Nick connect, though Nick is unwilling to share his history with blood magic with Silla. When Silla's friends start showing signs of possession, Silla, Nick and Silla's brother, Reese, must contend with a deadly, immortal woman who will stop at nothing to take the book of spells from them.

My Thoughts~ I have yet to read a book about witches and such. But I guess thats why I am drawn to this book. I feel like it's time to step up on the paranormal book chain. Witches here I come...Btw, I just love the cover...

Cover Discovery

Title: Invincible (Chronicles of Nick #2)
Author: Sherrilyn Kenyon
Release Date: February 1, 2011



Book Description:

Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse...

Nick Gautier’s day just keeps getting better and better. Yeah, he survived the zombie attacks, only to wake up and find himself enslaved to a world of shapeshifters and demons out to claim his soul.

His new principal thinks he’s even more of a hoodlum than the last one, his coach is trying to recruit him to things he can’t even mention and the girl he’s not seeing, but is, has secrets that terrify him.

But more than that, he’s being groomed by the darkest of powers and if he doesn’t learn how to raise the dead by the end of the week, he will become one of them...

My Thoughts: God this book sounds so good, I really need to read the first book and this one. And I love the cover. It matches the first book cover perfitly.

I'd been waiting for the vampire for years when he walked into the bar. Ever since vampires came out of the coffin (as they laughingly put it) two years ago, I'd hoped one would come to Bon Temps. We had all the other minorities in our little town—why not the newest, the legally recognized undead? But rural northern Louisiana wasn’t too tempting to vampires, apparently; on the other hand, New Orleans was a real center for them—the whole Anne Rice thing, right?

Also on another note, I want to apologize for my absence on my blog. I have been up late doing homework everyday ever since school started and I am already sink of it. I barley even have time to read any more. I am very lucky that I at least got one day with a little bit of homework. Anyway, yet again I am sorry for my lack of posting. I'll try my best to be more on top of it. And be on the look out for my review of The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Shadow Souls by L.J Smith...

Yesterday Was the True Blood Season Finale!!!

WOW!!! I just saw the True Blood Season Finale, and I loved every second of it. The people who made this show knows how to keep the audience on their toes. And one thing's for sure, I can not wait till next summer. It seems too far away now. I don't know who to trust in the show anymore and what might happen to certain characters or if someone might die...

And just for the fun of it, I want to show you some of my favorite True Blood wallpaper:











If you want to go to the True Blood web site click here and if you want to get these wallpapers you can also get it from the True Blood web site here.

Also on another note, I heard this song on the VMA Awards and I just had to share it with you. It's called Dog Days Are Over by Florence and the Machine.



(Sorry if the video does not fit, but I hope you like the song.)

Happy Reading!!!
