"Waiting On" Wednesday (6) Drink Deep and Magic Slays

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


My picks this week are:

Drink Deep by Chloe Neill
(Chicagoland Vampires #5)
Expected publication: November 2011

I don't want this one, I need this one! After reading Hard Bitten, this one cannot come fast enough.



Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.

That's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.

Chicago's mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for vampires and humans alike.



Magic Slays by Ilona Andrews
(Kate Daniels #5)
Expected publication: May 31st 2011

Why oh why hasn't this been released yet? Only two more months to go;-)




Kate Daniels has quit the Order of Merciful Aid, but starting her own business isn't easy when the Order starts disparaging her good name. And being the mate of the Beast Lord doesn't bring in the customers, either. So when Atlanta's premier Master of the Dead asks for help with a vampire, Kate jumps at the chance. Unfortunately, this is one case where Kate should have looked before she leapt.

Review: Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler



Book two in The Horseman of the Apocalypse: The Rider's Quartet

Publication: April 8th 2011

About

Missy didn’t mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don’t find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different.
 
That’s why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it’s with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control.
 
A unique approach to the topic of self-mutilation, Rage is the story of a young woman who discovers her own power and refuses to be defeated by the world.

Source: Goodreads


Review

This book continues The Rider's Quartet series and the story takes on just as serious a tropic as the first book in this series.
This story is about a girl’s fight for control over her life and about finding and accepting who she is.

This time we follow Missy who is a cutter, every mental pain she feels she makes physical with help of a racer blade, that way she feels she can contain her pain better.

I have a very good friend who hurt herself too and I really tried to understand her problems but you can never fully understand how someone else feels inside.
After reading this book I feel like I'd gotten a glimpse of what is happening inside someone who has this kind of problem.
My friend got help and today she's living a normal life.

Through the book Missy is chosen to become War and she finds out how much rage there are in the world and in how many forms rage can show itself.
She has to learn how to control her new powers to help people and to do that she has to have control over herself.

The ending is very surprising and I like how it's not a she-lived-happily-ever-after fairytale ending, it made the book feel more realistic. It really shows that there's no easy way to deal with a problem like this but it is possible to get better.

I’m excited to read the next book in this series and I’m very interested in seeing how Jackie Kessler will portray Pestilence.

I give Rage 4 out of 5.

[Thank you Elise from Bookish Delights for sending me an ARC of this book]

Other books in this series:
1# Hunger
3# Loss (2012)
4# Breath (2013)

Review: Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler


Book one in The Horseman of the Apocalypse: The Rider's Quartet


About Hunger

“Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world.”

Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she’s been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home: her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power — and the courage to battle her own inner demons?


Source: Goodreads

Review

This is a chilling look into the life of a girl with an eating disorder.

We follow Lisa who is anorectic and we watch her struggle with life, her problems and how she has to learn the balance of knowing herself.

The way the eating disorder is described is very realistic and her "friend" Tammie who is bulimic and who helps Lisa to stay in her downward spiral did that you as a reader really felt with her and some places in the book I would have to stop and take a deep breath before I continued reading.

I like how the book managed to blend so serious a tropic with fantasy it really worked and the way she became Famine and learned how much the world needed her was great. She really got a new perspective on food and that insight she had to use in her own life in her battle, with her food issues.

In all the seriousness there was still time for humour in the book, that made the story a little lighter some places and I think that it made the book more balanced.

Hunger was really well written it had an original plot and it was a very interesting book.

I give Hunger 4 out of 5.

Next books in the series:
2# Rage (April 8th 2011)
3# Loss (2012)
4# Breath (2013)

Review: This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost


Book five in the Night Huntress series




About This Side of the Grave

Danger waits on both sides of the grave.


Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance . . .
 
With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous "ally"—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war . . .
to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.


Source: Goodreads

Review

I feel like I have waited forever for this book to be released and now I finally get to read it.
I love Cat and Bones and I can't get enough of them and I really looked forward to this next adventure.
I really need to give Jeaniene Frost some points she has managed to create a fantastic world and characters I don't think I ever can get tired of.

I like how Cat has matured and how she really think about the consequences to her actions instead of just jumping into the fire, but I still miss the old Cat who was reckless and thought jumping into the fire was the only way to save the people she cared about.

The book had a great plot; it takes on some of the problems which started in Destined for an Early Grave.
We have seen Marie in some of the previous books but she has a bigger role to play in this one and I think in the next one too, it's very intriguing how she manipulates people into doing what she wants and I'm very interested to see what her plan is.

It's a book full of a lot of action, romance and humour and I don't think I can put a finger on anything I didn't like in this book. As with all the other Night Huntress books this one was full of great quotable lines.
A fantastic read.

Now the wait for One Grave at a Time begins...

I give This Side of the Grave 5 out of 5.


Other books in this series:
1# Halfway to the Grave
2# One Foot in the Grave
3# At Grave's End
4# Destined for an Early Grave

6# One Grave at a Time (August 30th 2011)

Cover art (9)



I'm a big fan of Jeaniene Frost's books and I love the stories and characters.
The covers has always been great but I think this is my favourite cover of them all, I like the new model on the cover and that Cat finally has her hair down (it looks good;-)
Great Halloween theme with the colours and the cat.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (5) The Gathering and Bite Club

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


My picks this week are:

The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong
(Darkness Rising #1)
Expected publication: April 12th 2011




Strange things are happening in Maya's tiny Vancouver Island town. First, her friend Serena, the captain of the swim team, drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. Then, one year later, mountain lions are spotted rather frequently around Maya's home—and her reactions to them are somewhat . . . unexpected. Her best friend, Daniel, has also been experiencing unexplainable premonitions about certain people and situations.
 
It doesn't help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret, and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy—her paw-print birthmark.


Bite Club by Rachel Caine
(The Morganville Vampires #10)
Expected publication: May 3rd 2011




After discovering that vampires populate her town, college student Claire Danvers knows that the undead just want to live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready to rumble.

There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the Internet: bare- knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other-or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire- accompanied by her friends and frenemies-to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville...

Pleasure Unbound
Larissa Ione
(Demonica #1)
Published June 20th 2008
 
 
 
 
In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life . . . She's a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure-but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.
 
Two lovers will dare to risk all.
Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his quest to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable-and let Tayla possess him, body and soul...

The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen, and the living are under attack. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased. Enter Chess Putnam, a fully tattooed witch and freewheeling ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for banishing the wicked dead. But Chess is keeping a dark secret: She owes a lot of money to a murderous drug lord named Bump, who wants immediate payback in the form of a dangerous job that involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust for a rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction to Bump’s ruthless enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is really worth it. Hell, yeah

Review: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare


Book one in the The Infernal Devices series


About Clockwork Angel

Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.


Source: Goodreads

Review

Another great, mysterious and action packed steam punk story from Cassandra Clare a great first book in a new series.

This series takes place in the same world as the Mortal Instruments series, Clockwork Angel is a prequel and this story happens years before the events in city of Bones.

Tessa was annoying to me at first but her very interesting ability and her strength to fight for what she loves had me warming up to her and the plotline.
The two boys Will and Jem are characters I really like and I don't know who’s my favourite, they are very different and both of them very mysterious and I found myself wanting to know more about them and getting to know them better.

All the side characters worked very well for me I enjoyed how well all of them contributed to the story in different ways and I like how Cassandra Clare has a special talent for giving even the bad guys something that you find intriguing.

This isn't a really quick read, the book is slow at first with a lot of descriptions but that really makes it great visual you imagine yourself standing in the street of London, England, at the time of the reign of Queen Victoria.
It picks up speed about 2/3 into the book and my head was almost spinning with all the things that happened.
I'm very excited for the next book.

I give Clockwork Angel 4 out of 5.

Next in the series:
2# Clockwork Prince (Expected publication: December 6th 2011)
3# Clockwork Princess (Expected publication: November/December 2012)

Review: The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong


Book one in the Darkest Powers Trilogy


About The Summoning

After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. She is attending art school, pursuing her dreams of becoming a director, making friends, meeting boys. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere, demanding her attention. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home.

At first, Lyle House seems a pretty okay place, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home–charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek, obnoxious Tori, and Rae, who has a “thing” for fire–Chloe begins to realize that there is something that binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual “problem kid” behaviour. And together they discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home either…

Review

I'd considered starting this series for awhile but I just didn't get around to it before now.
I finally read book one The Summoning and I'm really happy that I did. It's a good book.

As it often is with a first book in a series there's a lot of background information and I felt that the first 2/3 of the book moved very slow, but the last 1/3 was great, really tense and with a lot of suspense.

In the beginning of the book I felt like the langueid was a little to young for me and I was afraid that I couldn’t get into the story when the main character Chloe Saunder acted in a way I had a hard time following but it approved through the book and the characters grow on me over time and I ended up liking the story and the characters.

I feel like this book left a lot of unanswered questions, I know that's what series do but I don't feel like I got enough from this book.

The book ends with a big cliff hanger and I'm very interested to know what happens in the next book.

I give The Summoning 3 out of 5.

Next in the series:
2# The Awakening
3# The Reckoning

"Waiting On" Wednesday (4) Lover Unleashed and City of Fallen Angels

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


My picks this week are:

Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward
(Black Dagger Brotherhood #9)
Expected publication: March 29th 2011



Payne, twin sister of Vishous, is cut from the same dark, warrior cloth as her brother: A fighter by nature, and a maverick when it comes to the traditional role of Chosen females, there is no place for her on the Far Side… and no role for her on the front lines of the war, either.

When she suffers a paralyzing injury, human surgeon Dr. Manuel Manello is called in to treat her as only he can- and he soon gets sucked into her dangerous, secret world. Although he never before believed in things that go bump in the night- like vampires- he finds himself more than willing to be seduced by the powerful female who marks both his body and his soul.

As the two find so much more than an erotic connection, the human and vampire worlds collide … just as a centuries old score catches up with Payne and puts both her love and her life in deadly jeopardy.



City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
(The Mortal Instruments #4)
Expected publication: April 5th 2011



City of Fallen Angels is the fourth book in the bestselling series The Mortal Instruments.

“City of Fallen Angels takes place two months after the events of City of Glass. In it, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary’s plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever. Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.

Blood Song 
Cat Adams
(Blood Singer #1)
Published June 8th 2010

I love the covers on these books they are fantastic and I heard much about this series so it's diffinately on my wishlist.



Bodyguard Celia Graves has definitely accepted her share of weird assignments, both human and supernatural. But her newest job takes the cake. Guarding a Prince from terrorists and religious fundamentalists is hard enough, but it seems like the entire supernatural world is after this guy too. When she is betrayed by those she is employed to help, and everything goes horribly wrong, Celia wakes to find herself transformed.

Neither human nor vampire, Celia has become an Abomination—something that should not exist—and now both human and supernatural alike want her dead. With the help of a few loyal friends—a sexy mage, a powerful werewolf, and a psychic cop—Celia does her best to stay alive. On the run from her enemies, Celia must try to discover who is behind her transformation…before it’s too late.


Siren Song
Cat Adams
(Blood Singer #2)
Published September 28th 2010


 


Nothing if not resilient, Celia Graves is slowly adjusting to being a half-human, half-vampire Abomination. But her troubles are far from over. Her best friend’s murder is still unsolved, the cops are convinced she should be in jail, and her old lover, the magician Bruno DeLuca, has resurfaced in her life, saying he has something important to tell her.
The vampire attack that transformed Celia kicked her latent Siren abilities into high gear, and now she’s been summoned to the Sirens’ island to justify her existence—and possibly fight for her life—in front of the Siren Queen. Celia isn’t sure she’ll survive to make the trip. The demon she defeated in Blood Song hasn’t exactly gone quietly—he’s left Celia suffering from a powerful curse.

Just like Ashley said (love it) "Ashley the girl..." who are You the Boy/Girl, instead of You the Blogger?

My name is Mette I'm 23 years old and I'm from Denmark.

I love listening to music and I love to sing. I sung in a choir for many years and now I'm taking solo lessons.

I have used a lot of my spare time making short films and soon I will have a premiere on what I think is going to be my last film.

Now I use most my time with my dog "Bonita" she is 5 month old.

The rest of my time goes with reading, reading, reading:-)





Book Blogger Hop


Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books

This week's question is:

"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"

I would buy:

Karen Marie Moning's Fever series, I have only read the first two and I can't wait to read the rest.
