The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

Another Review Today since I have finished so many books over the last week or so! So I sure many of you have already watched it or is going to watch the third Twilight movie Eclipse! ( I haven't watched it yet but I might tomorrow) Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to read the novella The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner! Now I only finished this one yesterday so it's like fresh in my mind.

It was quite a short read only about 200 pages but I not sure why but it awlays takes my longer to read Ebooks. So anyway, very short life indeed for Bree. I not a huge twilight fan but the books are alright so I have nothing againist twilight!

Anyhow, book was alright. I found it progressed abit too slowly. it went really boring and suddenly it was interestly but before you can quite get it, it was THE END. However, it was pretty good I enjoyed it and we got to know Bree better. When I read Eclipse I thoguht she was some bad vampire who doesn't have any feeling but in this book you got to see a different side of the story. I even got abit teary at the end. BTW did you guys know Edward Cullen is a ranga??? (a redhead) I always thought he had brown hair. Anyway, good story too slow at the beginning but the ending was good. Rating 3/5

Need

Review Time! Last week I finished Need by Carrie Jones. It was one of thosse books that I have been wanting to read for a while but never got around to. So finally I put down whatever book Iw as reading before that and dup into it.

Now one of the surprises of this book was that it was one about pixies and were animals. I know right, weird. I have heard of Vampires and Werewolves etc. but never pixies. Plus not only did it have a werewolf it had were eagles too ( which I thought was pretty funny). The book was fairly easy to read however I can't quite determine what that feeling is when read the book but I not really into it. So I just categorised it as 'Just Another Book' Alright characters, alright start, alright ending, nice writing style that was easy to read and overall it was alright. Rating - 3/5

Changeless

Review Time! You know I actually pretty disappointed with how many books I have been able to read this week. Last Holidays I was able to read one book a day butthis holidaysit seems like start 10 books a day and finish one a week (not good). However, I did manage to finish Changeless by Gail Carriger today. Now last holidays I finished the first one Soulless and loved it so high hopes for this one. On a sidenote has anyone realised I have read alot of second in the series in the last two weeks? Anyway, I quite liked this one very much like the first but interesting plot. I love the victorian setting with the supernatural twist. It makes so much more memorable than just plain supernaturalism (is that a word?) So it started off a bit slowly like blah blah blah and than it got interesting so I guess that made it okay. There was this bomb *shock, gasp,scandal* at the end which leaves me DYING to read to the next book. However since I have this habit of reading the ending first than going back to read the whole book it wasn't so bombly (is this word too?). Anyway, I find Ivy, the best friend a great nuisance and can't stand her but that's the whole point so I will let it go. The sisters and the mum is annyoing too but they are portrayed that way and it's certainly a very entertaining read. The style of writing does take some time getting used to but that's because it's quite old fashioned. However, it's more bearable than Shakespere. The woman on the cover has a really unattractive fringe so no comment on the cover and besides that all that pretty good book so Rating- 4/5

Ghostgirl : Homecoming

Review Time! Finished Ghostgirl : Homecoming by Tonya Hurley on Saturday!I had high expectations for this one for I really liked the first one. Um, I have to say those high expectations weren't exactly met which is one of the reasons why it took me sooooo long to read it. The first book was wayy better, this one just wasn't interesting. The plot was really pointless and didn't really go anyway ( I call them circle plots - One BIG FAT CIRCLE and back to where we started) The characters don't seem as cool as they were in the first one. The ending was alright but the start was borrringgggg. Really, I have to say I was very very very disappointed with this one D: THe first book was so much better! So unfortunately I didn't enjoy this one very much and found it quite boring. D; Rating 2.5 / 5

Spirit Bound

Okay, as promised I said I would review Spirit Bound which I finished reading yesterday. Anyway, for those who don't know The Vampire Academy series is one that I think highly of. It is my favourite vampire series hands down and probably the best books in the world after The Mortal Instruments series. And I wasn't disappointed with this book either. Honestly, I LOVED it it was AMAZING beyond words  ( @#$%@#&*%$#@#@$) Great Plot, badass characters ( I HEART ADRIAN & DIMITRI BUT I THINK I"M TEAM ADRIAN) , the writing was easy to read and well we can't relate to the vampires and stuff but the emotional and relationship stuff is alot like teenage relationships in the 21st century. It is also my top tear jerker guys and that is something, I not excatly the most emotional person like I don't cry over lost love and stuff BUT Mrs Richelle Mead is a fantasic writer and when I read her books I get all weepy and wear my heart on my sleeve. So, very high praises for this book, couldn't have been written any better.

Rating 5/5 (Yes, I know amazing right? So if you haven't read it yet I will haunt you in your sleep until the day you do)

The Mage in Black

Hey Guys!!!!!! How are we all? I had like heaps of energy when I got home today adn now I'm like tired. Anyway, I was sick on Tuesday this week so mum let me stay home and I used the time to start and finish The Mage In Black by Jaye Wells. In case you guys don't remember, I did review the first book in this series and HIGHLY recommend it. Remember? Red- Headed Stepchild, Sabina Kane Trilogy???? Well, anyway got the second book and finished it! It was even better than the first one! For me, this one was more comfortable to read. The first one was very fast-paced and adventurous not so much romance but this one was perfect. Plus, we got to see more Sabina & Adam ;P So if you haven't read the first one- Read that first THAN read this one. Fantastic series! You know some books you just can't get into straightaway? Well, this isn't one of them I loved it from the first minute! Rating - 4/5

Kiss of Crimson ( Midnight Breed #2)

Review #2 for this week.

WARNING - This book has sexual 'parts' so I woldn't advise anyone who isn't 'mature' to read this. Like not for kids or young teens.

Okay now on with the review. this is the second book of the Midnight Breed Series by Lara Adrian. Although I haven't read Black Dagger Brotherhood series I have heard sooooooooooo many people say that this is really similar so if you liked Black Dagger Brotherhood ( which bascially everyone who had read it thinks is awesome) you will like this one. I have to say that I liked the first one better. This one was just 'average'. I didn't really find it moving or anything ( Lucan & Gabrielle's books was really romantic *#1*) It was 'just another book' and the fact that I don't really like Dante doesn't help soooooo kinda disappointed with this one. Nothing else to say really, writing style was good but I didn't like the plot or charcters so lost quite a few marks there and nothing memorable really. Went around in a circle than ended so nothing exciting D:

Rating- 3/5

Dark Divine

Okay, so I read this book in Febuary before started this blog or joined the debut Author Challenge so accordingly to guidelines for the challenge that is okay because I have never written a review for it ;P So, this book is written by Bree Despain who is a 2010 Debut Author ! Evryone knows I'm a sucker for good covers and this is one of those books that I went' OMG I have to read it because its got such a pretty cover' (did I mention purple was my favourite colour?)Anyway, so I read this book and it was pretty good. It was a good book but not great, it didn't stand out. Quite disappointed actually, I would have thought it was breath-takingly amazingfrom the good things I have heard but I just couldn't lose myself in this one. There was nothing wrong with it like all the charcters were great, plot good but it was just one of those books that you go good but not great D: You get it don't you? So it was one of those books but it was still pretty good like worth buying and reading ( plus it's got a pretty cover ;P) So yup, Rating - 3.5/5

The Becoming

Okay review #3 Catch up- (my arms are getting sore already)

Anyway, another read that I read was The Becoming by Jeanne C. Stein ( First book of the Anna Strong Series). Again, enjoyed it quite alot, loved the plot, strong heroine and decriptive. However, like Kitty and the Midnight Hour it wasn't anything different. Just another book, it was good but not great, it was descriptive but nothing memorable, strong heroine but she annoyed me sometimes ( you get the point). This is a book that you wouldn't regret picking up but well, nothing really special. Rating - 3/5

Red- Headed Stepchild

Another book I have recently read is Red- Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells. This is the first book in the Sabina Kane Trilogy and I have to say it was the cover that made me pick up the book first. That amazingggggg shade of red hair (haha). Yer, so I picked this book out of all the books in the world because the shade of red was amazing but I loved the book too. Loved it! It was different, I loved Sabina and Adam ( hope to see more of them together in the next book) and there was lots of action. Definitely a book worth reading, in fact its a must read! ( Even if the shade of red doesn't attract you, the story will) Go pick up a copy today if you haven't read it yet, really worth you're money ;)

I haven't posted for a while so I decided to post a review of a fantastic book I have read recently. I recently finished Soulless By Gail Carriger (The Parasol Protectorate, #1) and LOVED IT. I was hooked on from the first page, definitely worth reading. Fantastic plot, hilarious charcters and I loved the 1800's setting. Very different from anything I have ever read which is probably why I found so memorable. You don't find many stories set in the 1800's about werewolves & vampires ! Again, fantasic, funny, enjoyable read!

Description-

Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?
