Jennifer Armentrout. That woman. She does it again! She completely wrapped me up in the story, had my heart breaking one minute and then smirking at the snark the next. I love that! I love being so immersed in the story and having the characters feel so real that I feel like I can reach into the book and touch them. And who wouldn’t want to touch Daemon?? Oh, you hear that? Yep, that’s the sound of Daemon’s ego growing. […]

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead Publisher: Razorbill Publication Date: August 25, 2009 Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Source: Bought Purchase from: Amazon | Barnes and Noble Why did I not include the synopsis? Because… it’s spoiler-y JUST in case someone hasn’t read the previous ones and decided to skim the synopsis or something. The other day I went with a friend to B&N and I told her to read Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. Next thing I know, she’s picking up Seige […]

Shadow Kiss was my favorite one of the series! Is it because we see lots of Dimitri? Hmmm…. perhaps. =) I loved this one so much, just seeing Dimitri and Rose’s forbidden love. They can’t be together. And yet, it’s the one thing that seems so right in their messed up world! Dimitri made my heart kind of seize and flutter or some kind of arrhythmic activity — bottom line, he was affecting my heart in a big way. I […]

Since most of you guys have read the VA series, this will be mostly my reactions rather than a “review”. I loved Rose’s attitude and kick ass demeanor in Vampire Academy and we get to see more of that in Frostbite! I like Rose because she has such a fiery and snarky personality. But she doesn’t stay the same, you see her start to mature in this one and I loved that. Speaking of things I love, Dimitri, guardian and duster-clad […]

Gayle Forman Read Along – If I Stay Week 2

I got started late! So I’m jumping in at week 2. =) Week 2 Questions: 1. Shortly after Kim arrives at the hospital, she goes to the hospital chapel to pray. How does this scene fit in with who she is? Mia mentions that Kim is Jewish, that she is only allowed to date Jewish guys and that she goes to a Jewish sleepaway camp every summer. It plays a big role in her life so it seems only expected […]
