My boyfriend bought me this book for Christmas. It looked amazing. When I opened it I realized that it truly was such a great book! I couldn't believe how awesome this book was. A wolf woman has to choose between her arranged marriage or a stranger. Great love story. The only bad thing was how it ended on a cliff hanger!! Can't wait for the next book! LOVE IT!

I will go ahead and say that this book was a massive disappointment. I completely fell in love with the first book in this trilogy; Nightshade. To read this after it was a complete shock. I don't even know how they even let this be published. Don't get me wrong, it was well written and I was compelled to keep reading, but nothing happened. Just as soon as they were getting to the good part, the book ended. They stretched out this book to make it into a trilogy which was a wrong move. I felt like I was five chapters into a new book and then it suddenly ends. They shouldn't have made this book so short and uneventful. The majority of this book was Searcher history. Yawn. Whatever. I must wait for the third one now. Ugh.

I absolutely loved this book. Ok, well not absolutely because I wanted to cry at one part but other than that it was really good. I won’t say which team I was rooting for (Team Ren or Team Shay) but let me just say that my team lost and I am pissed. Haha whatever.

It begins right where the second book left off. Ren is with the Searchers now and part of the team to get all the artifacts to create the sword that the Scion (Shay) was supposed to be used to kill Bosch, his uncle who he had no idea in the beginning was an evil being. They basically go through a few more tests to retrieve all the artifacts and that’s it. They use it to kill Bosch but then there is one shocking decision in the end to be made. Read it to find out.

I am pretty sure they could have made the second book and this one into one book, but that’s just my opinion. Other than that, the series was good and I was glad that I read it. I would recommend it but I wouldn’t speak too highly of it. It’s up to you! Book 1 was amazing!

This little novella was alright. I don't know what I expected going in since I read this series so long ago. I was a little bit confused by the characters, but it didn't really matter. I figured it out by the end. 

Adne and Connor are basically together and after the war they were surveying the damage. Things were stolen and Ethan had captured one of the two thieves. One stole books and the other stole a wooden box with certain old magic artifacts in it. They came to the conclusion that Logan was trying to bring back his ancestors magic. They couldn't allow that to happen. 

The ending was pretty interesting as well, which makes me think that their might be another book. Who knows!

This book was such a page turner! I didn't have much time to read but when I did read, I couldn't put the book down. It draws you in and you want to find out what happens next. Some things were predictable though. It dragged on! It ended off as a cliff hanger so I have to read the second book now. Other than that, the characters were pretty cool as well :)

3.5 Stars - 6 Days

So this book was pretty good. I just wanted to figure out how it would end. There were some pretty exciting parts and I pictured the entire thing in my mind. Great visual book. It could have been shorter though. Very Repetitive!!! I hated the ending! Another cliffhanger. It is alright. I will wait patiently for the next book to come out, which I will purchase ! :)

This was a book I bought for the fun of it. It was written unlike any other book I read. It was weird and different. I absolutely loved it. The events that happened were rather sexual but not offensive. It would be good if you had a good knowledge of the Greek Gods before you read it. It's ok if you don't. I found I was not able to put it down once I started reading. I loved how once there was a new character there was a short chapter about their life before they met Psyche. It was sad at some parts, but that's life. I would read this book again. Definite recommend.

I knew this was going to be a great book just from the first chapter. It moves from regular date to 1942. It is in the perspective of an older woman whose family is somehow tied with a little girl who was captured in the Jewish roundup of the Holocaust. The real term was the roundup Vel’ d’Hiv. I almost cried with every chapter I read. I would definitely recommend this book. It gives you an insight on things people like to forget. Great book!

This book was surprisingly good. I was so into it since I couldn't figure out what the main character was. I knew he wasn't a vampire but I needed to keep reading to find out what he was. The main character, Ever, complains a lot, but I didn't m ind. I was anxious to find out more. Time to read the second one now!

5 Stars - 1 Day to read

This book was incredible!! I couldn't put it down. I needed to know how it would end. I felt so bad for Ever. Everyone around was brainwashed by the new character. I could never imagine seeing my love in the arms of another. Ouch! This book was way better than the first one. It reeled me in and now I have to read the third one. Shadowland here I come!

I was hooked once again. What can I say? This woman knows how to keep her readers entertained. I love the whole past life lovers thing with the new character - Jude. I am getting a little annoyed that the main characters can't get it on yet! There are two more books and I don't think I can wait until the fifth for them to sleep together. We'll see what happens for now. Overall, great book! Need to buy the next one still!

I started this book after about 5 years in between book 3. I waited a long time because I got side tracked and there were so many other books out there waiting for me to read them. I noticed that I gave the previous three books 5 stars, but this book was not up to par with the rest of them. Maybe I was too nice back then as well. This one deserves at best just a three. 

It begins with Ever trying to explain to her best friend Haven that she turned her into an Immortal. Haven was so happy. Some other stuff happened that I don't remember because it tied in with the previous three books that I just can't seem to recall in my brain. Ever and Damon can't touch or else Damon will die. Roman put a spell on them and only he has the antidote. Ever's demon inside of her yearns for Roman and she almost lost her virginity to him before she realized what she was doing. She needed to clean her soul if she wanted to move ahead in life. She was addicted to magik and needed to clean her chakras. She didn't want to let Damon know her problems so she confided in Jude instead. Jude was apparently a human who has been in love with Ever since the beginning of time but always loses to Damon. He learns this and accepts it. Poor guy. Ever's best friend Haven is in love with Roman and is convinced Ever is trying to steal him from her. 

That's the jist of it. It felt like A LOT was being repeated over and over again. Ever going to Roman's house. Ever not wanting to entrust Damon. Etc etc. I guess I might as well read the rest to see how this love story ends. Here I go...

Another beautiful Love story. Nicholas Sparks has a talent in bringing you so close with the characters, it is as if you know them deeply. You become part of their little family. I found myself eager to find out what the outcome of the book would be. Loved the ending. It was sweet and worth the read :)

Not my favourite. It’s changed the whole ‘turning vampire’ process. I don’t know if I liked that too much. The thought and concept was all there. There were interesting scenarios, and I liked the way she had her own little thoughts added in there. It was kind of childish. But she is 16 years old, so I guess I shouldn't complain. It took me so long to read because I wasn't drawn to figure out what happens next. I bought the box set, so onto number two now!

3.5 Stars - 2 Days to read

Way better than the first one. I was so interested in what was going to happen in this book! I love the added lust in this one. Blood. Sex. Magic. Seriously! Dark doesn't always mean evil and light doesn't always mean good. Damn straight! I wish I had an affinity with the elements. So cool! Can't wait to read the next one!

3.5 Stars - 2 Days to read

This one was pretty interesting. It can get a little bit repetitive. Zoey cries and complains about her three boyfriends and her friends a lot. The full moon rituals are repetitive, but at least they were always different. I got really pulled into this book! I loved the lust in these stories but I hated how it ended in heart break. Read to find out more. Off to the next one!

This one had to be the best out of the four. Zoey Redbird has changed. She went from a complaining, confused fledgling to a determined high priestess. She was more put together this book and when things turned out to be getting better, they only get worse! I kind of don't like the fact that she falls in love with every single guy around her - that's not gay. Can't wait to read the next ones.

3 Stars - 5 Days to read

Not quite sure what to say. This book could have..um...it was just a splurge of what we already knew. Yes, her friends are behind her. Yes, the dark angel has risen, and, yes, we know she has boy issues. I don't think I can read one more sentence of her debating who she loves more. It's getting annoying now. On to the next book. I have to. I already bought it. Ha!

3.5 Stars - 4 Days to read

So. Over. It! Okay. I can't keep repeating myself because then I will be doing exactly what the books are doing. They should have killed Kalona a long time ago and made Neferet the new villain. I can't stand this anymore. Make a new villain! I don't care! Just anything besides the same. The ending of this book, though, was pretty darn good. Finally! Something good to work with! It happens in like the last 3 pages. Whatever. Let's find out what happens next...

4 Stars - 3 Days to read

Okay, where to begin? I would have to say this is the best book so far (only the way it was written, not the content). I am still MAJORLY annoyed at the length these books go through and I want it to be OVER, but this book was well written. It was filled with lots of emotions. I think she should have killed Kalona and got it over with and left Neferet for the last book, but that’s just me. I need to finish the last book so I can be over and done with the House of Night once and for all!

4 Stars - 5 Days to read

Well done. This book was actually very entertaining. Now this one is the best book. It would have been nice if this was the last one, but I have a feeling there will be at least 5 more books in this series. With the way they write...I wouldn't be surprised if they write 10 more books.. with the same villains! HA! Content was good. I am over the repetitiveness. Whatever. I have to wait for the next book to come out now. That's all.

There is so much to say about this book. I was shocked more than once. The whole incest thing was a bit weird, but it only added to the suspense of the story. I wish they elaborated more on the ending, but I think it was perfectly written. I thought this was going to be a boring 1700’s story, but it was the farthest from that. You end up becoming a part of the plot and you’re not sure who to sympathize with. Beatrice only wanted the best for her children and wanted to give them the land, but everything backfires on her. Her whole life was surrounded by Widacre that she was blinded by everything and realized it too late. She murdered, hurt, stole, betrayed, and lied her way… all the way to the bottom.

I can't believe I have finally finished this book. It felt so much longer than the first one. I did, however, put it down many, many times. At some parts I just couldn't get into the flow of things and wasn't really bothered to find out what would happen next. If this wasn't a TV series, I probably wouldn't have finished, but I wanted to watch the episodes so I continued reading. I knew there is something about these books that everyone loved and I knew the TV series would cut some stuff out.

This book was basically about the Renly and Stannis wanting to take over King's Landing. It was mostly fighting and taking out castles and being captured and the such. I don't want to say what happens because I don't want to give anything away. If you read the first one, then you obviously have to read this one because I am pretty sure you will read the next one.

All I have to say is.... GO KHALESSI! I love Danaerys! :)

This book was amazing. Another too long story for my liking but amazing regardless! This was much better than book two. So much happened in this book that I can't even begin to describe it. The author did a great job pulling us into his world of dragons, knights, killings, kings and plain ol' whores. I loved it! I can't wait to read the next one. 

3 Stars - 14 Days to read

I can see why people gave this book such little stars. I would have been pissed too if I bought this book when it came out, only to realize that the next one would come out in a year and this was all I got. A lot happened in this book, but not what we were expecting. There were no Dragons or John snow. Those are the two most important characters in this whole series (to me at least) and to keep them out of this entire book (except there was one chapter of John in the beginning) was just crazy. I needed more of Khalessi. I flipped through each of the chapters and did not see her name once. I was so upset.

Other than that, it was an alright book. It kept my attention. But now I am ready to start the next one to journey with the Mother of Dragons!

I read this book as slowly as I could. It took me so long to finish because I did not want it to end. I squeezed what I could out of it since I knew there was not another book that I could read after. I am heartbroken.

I need more of Khalessi! And John Snow! What the heck happened!?!!?

Definite recommendation! AND THE SHOW IS AWESOME AS WELL!!

What a wonderful story. As soon as I read the first short chapter I was hooked. I love how this author writes. This story is about a girl who is in love with a wolf. A werewolf, but there are no moons involved. The wolves are human during summer and wolves during winter. Their winters are counted though until one year they stay a wold forever. Grace tries to find a way to stay with the wolf/boy that she has loved since she was little. How to keep a boy from changing back into a wolf? Read to find out. It is a very sad story and I found myself tearing up at some points. Read to enjoy!

I wanted to say that I really love these books. The first one was better than this one though. I felt like this book was a little bit too long when we all knew what was going to happen. I love the introduction of the new wolf Cole St. Clare. I really like him. Other then that, nothing caught my attention of this book. The separation of Grace and Sam was sad. Their whole relationship is sad. I can't wait to read the third and last book to find out how it ends!

4 Stars - 7 Days to read

As I said in the last review I wrote in Linger; Shiver was the best. They could have gotten away with just the one book, or at least 2 better written books. I liked Forever but I think it was a bit too long. I liked the relationship complications between Isabel and Cole. I wish Grace and Sam were more passionate with each other but I can see why the writer didn't write it that way. Their relationship wasn't based on words or actions. I was waiting for the end of Shelby and I wish the writer wrote Shelby’s demise better. The ending was left open. Way open! I wish I knew how it ended. Was Grace cured? Did Cole and Isabel end up together? So many questions. A fourth book? Who knows!

(I just realized this is a second book to a series. I totally missed the first book)

I read this book a while ago on my iPod and don't really remember what I felt. It was a free eBook so I thought 'why not?' It is about a vampire, Nicholas Drake, who intends on killing a witch named Raven Cross. The witches and vampires were at war and he was out of commission for a while because Raven spilled her blood/spit on him when they faced off together. When that happens, normally vampires die, but not Nicholas. Nicholas survives and was donned the strongest vampire ever who could now walk in the sun thanks to surviving the witch’s wrath. When Nicholas gets to Ravens house to kill her, he breaks her door down causing her to fall backwards against her fridge. Raven was working on a love potion for a client and it spilled all over her head and mouth, seeping into her skin. For the kill, Nicholas bites Raven and ingests whatever love potion for into her system. He automatically falls head over heels for her and the thought of killing her repulsed him. Raven didn't want anything to do with him. She hated him. They end up together (sexually) only to be tricked by Him (Lucifer). I will probably read the next book to find out what happens.

I’m going to have to say this book was actually pretty good. It started off well, got a little bit slow in the middle but I kept reading because I wanted to know who the killer was. I wanted to find out what was going to happen to Agent Reece and Nathan as well. I enjoyed this book because there was no damsel in distress and - Brianna - the mail character knew how to take care of herself without the help of a man. I found myself smiling at the part where Brianna makes Nathan feel embarrassed! Ha! The story line was well written and I was glued to the pages when an exciting part came up. Definite page turner! The only bad thing about this story was the amount of grammatical mistakes it had. I started correcting them but eventually it became too much to handle. It made me pretty nervous to see such simple mistakes but I looked past them. Overall, a very good book with exciting events. Read for yourself to find out.

Okay. Where to begin? This book was too long. I found myself bored at the beginning and middle of the book. I expected more from Kate, but that's alright. It took me so long to read since I didn't bother to pick it up. Nothing pulled me. The book was filled with unneeded filler. It pulls you into the characters lives, but a bit too much! Loved the characters though! I loved the secret affair. That was fun. The ending was amazing as well. It is an overall sad book. Read if you must, but don't say I was the one to recommend it. That's all.
