My wishlist:

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.

Review

This book has a gorgeous cover and that was what primary got me to read the book in the first place but I was not disappointed by the story.

I was a little afraid in the beginning because the story on some points reminded me of Twilight, I like Twilight but I didn't need to read the same story again.
I didn't need to go far into the book before I was very intrigued by the plot, it really drew me in and I had a hard time putting the book down.

I love how the book portray the wolfs/people and their hierarchy and life in a different way. They also use a good blend of mythology and of cause a good dose of romance.
I like how there's a strong family bond especially between Calla and her brother Ansel but also between Calla and the pack she's going to lead. They are there for each other and they keep each others secrets.

Calla is a great character, she's strong and she's doing a good job being a guardian and an alpha she just happen to be a part of an old tradition and she's doing what's asked of her until she begins to question her belief.

Ren and Shay are the romantic interests for Calla, I'm not sure I like either of them yet but there's room for improvement and I look forward to get to know them both better in the next book.

This book is full of everything I love in a story, a strong protagonist, a lot of action and romance and I love that magical way the book describe the life of the wolfs.

There's not a boring moment in this book and I'm a big fan and I can't wait to read the next book when it releases.

I give Nightshade 4 out of 5.

Next in the series:
2# Wolfbane (July 26th 2011)
3# Bloodrose (Spring 2012)

Review: Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Book one in the Hush Hush series

About Hush Hush

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her...until Patch comes along.
With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment, but after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust.
Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is far more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

Review

I have not read many books with angels and I think it's my first series with fallen angels.
Let me say it this way I started the book in the morning and finished it later hat same night.

In most of the book I was just as confused as the main character you just wanted to know what is going on.
A lot of things happened and I felt one of the side characters could have been left out and maybe been in the next book instead. There was just a lot of loose ends that had to be tied together very fast in the end of the book, so for me there was one side story to much.
After that is said it was the only negative thing I could find in this book.

I'm a big fan of love/hate relationships and wow did I get it here. Nora's relationship with Patch is very intense and you'll never know how their encounters will end.

The story is very well written and I found myself laughing at some of the lines in the book.

I give Hush Hush 4 out of 5

Next in the series:

2# Crescendo
3# Silence (October 25th 2011)

Review: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

About Before I Fall

What if you had only one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?

Samantha Kingston has it all—looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12th should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it’s her last. The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. In fact, she re-lives the last day of her life seven times, until she realizes that by making even the slightest changes, she may hold more power than she had ever imagined.

Review

I had heard so many great things about this book and when I finally picked it up I was a little afraid that it would disappoint me, but I could not be more wrong it was a great read and it had an honesty that really got to me.

An amazing book about identity and about making the choices that makes you who you are, the things that defines you as a person and the details that you sometimes take for granted in your life.

The story is about a girl who repeats the same day again and again and every time she learns something new about herself and the people around her.
My favourite thing in the book is the parts where Samantha speaks to us the readers, all the little things make me think a lot about how I live my life, which things I will remember and which things people will remember me for.

The book's main character Samantha is not someone I liked in the beginning but the changes that happens day after day as well as the journey you as a reader took with her really changed my mind.
I had guessed much of the ending but it didn't matter because it was so well written and I actually lay awake afterwards and thought about it. It was so strong and emotionally.

A great read.

I give Before I Fall 4 out of 5
