My review of Bloodlines
07/01/2012 - Bloodlines by Richelle Mead - Released 23rd August 2011
BEWARE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SWOONING AND FAN GIRL REACTIONS.
A new take on vampires. Action packed and thrilling. One of my favourites!
When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.
2) The Plot
Well, this book wasn't what I expected but I did really enjoy it! Tatoos. Baddies. Nevermore. Blood. Vampire hunters. Wow, it was unexpected. I was happy to see that action was left until the last minute and the fact that you could FINALLY see the start of something beautiful at the end.
It took several seconds of silence for me to realize that I'd been staring at him while my mind spun out it's thoughts. And, actually, he was staring at me, with a look of wonder.
"My god, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them?"
That uncomfortable feeling was spreading over me again. "What about them?"
"The colour," he breathed. "When you stand in the light. They're amazing...like molten gold. I could pain those..." He reached toward me but then pulled back. "They're beautiful. You're beautiful."
MAJOR swooning here. I was pratically having a heart attack, guys! Everything was going brilliantly....
Grrr. If ONLY NO ONE KNOCKED ON THE FREAKING DOOR! NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JULY TO GET MY KISSING SCENE.

I do strongly recommend you read The Vampire Academy series before reading this because it'll give you a bit more ideas on the characters. Sadly, I didn't do that. I read this book first and THEN decided to read the Vampire Academy series. Don't make that mistake! :O
Anyway, I found this book EXTREMELY entertaining. It was fun, innocent and highly addictive. You might not understand the story at first but once you get into it, it really gets you hooked.
1) Characters
You will become attached to the main character, Sydney. She is a kind and caring person but can be tough when she wants to. From what I've read, she seems like a pretty girl. I wasn't sure if she was developing a crush on Adrian, but I definitely hope so! I'm in love. Swwwwwwoooooooon. Eeeek, he's so funny, cute, charming, fun, kissably lovely. He brang humour to the book for me. What would this book have been like without him? I don't even want to think about it. Moving on to Jill, she wasn't particularly interesting for me. To me, she was just there to complicate things.....I'm so glad that she wasn't the one narrating the story! PHEW. Lucky escape there.

MAJOR swooning here. I was pratically having a heart attack, guys! Everything was going brilliantly....
And then there was a knock at the door......
Grrr. If ONLY NO ONE KNOCKED ON THE FREAKING DOOR! NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JULY TO GET MY KISSING SCENE.
Luckily, to fill in the 6 month gap, I have found my Adrian!
But I wouldn't mind it being......
Anyway, back to the book. READ IT! It's amazing. I can't explain it until you read it! :D
Favourite Conversation!!!:
“Thanks for looking out for her, Sage. You're okay. For a human."
I almost laughed. "Thanks."
"You can say it too, you know."
I walked over to Latte and paused. "Say what?"
"That I'm okay...for a vampire," he explained.
I shook my head, still smiling. "You'll have a hard time getting any Alchemist to admit that. But I can say you're okay for an irreverent party boy with occasional moments of brilliance."
"Brilliant? You think I'm brilliant?" He threw his hands skyward. "You hear that, world? Sage says I'm brilliant.”

My review of My Soul to Steal
06/01/12 - My Soul to Steal (Soul Screamers #4) by Rachel Vincent - Released 17th July 2011 (UK Edition)
This series is really good!
Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can’t just pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.
See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.
And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.
I had to wait a month for this! I was so annoyed, but finally when it was in my hands....I was so happy!
1) Characters
If you've read the previous books, you will notice that Kaylee is very fragile, yet strong willed. She can't trust her boyfriend, Nash Hudson, because of the incident in My Soul to Keep. I found Kaylee a very determined girl, but she was abit over reactive at times, which is perfectly understandable. We saw more of Tod Huson, Nash's Reaper brother, which was great! I must say, when I started reading the series, I didn't like Tod at all. But as the series progresses your heart just gradually gets pulled to him. I was totally obssessed with Nash in the first three books, but there was so many little things going wrong between him and Kaylee, making me like Tod for being the one who comforted Kaylee.
Nash....I feel a little bad for him. Tod is right.
It's true, and I agree with him. Kaylee doesn't need Nash, she has everything. A dad who loves her, friends, a job, etc. She loves Nash, but she can live without him. But Nash? Kaylee is the only person who meant something to him. Sabine? She has nothing either. Once again, Tod is right.
Tod, he has been a great cushion for Kaylee to fall on, but in If I Die, could there be something more going on? I have no idea!
2) The plot
Weeeell, everything was progressing between Nash and Kaylee, but suddenly, Sabine, Nash's ex, turns up and ruins everything. I thought this was a nice twist. Extremely interesting, yet annoying at times. Sabine got in the way of everything. I found this QUITE fustrating. On top of all the deaths. Death here, death there, DEATH EVERYWHERE! I've finally got used to that in the Soul Screamers series! There's some pretttyyyy good action in this book. Pure adreneline rush!
I don't know what to think of the whole Nash situation, but I think my feelings will be....more certain, in If I Die.
My favourite quotes (I have LOADS):
“Whoever said it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved was full of crap.”
“I don't have you, and without you, it feels like what I do have doesn't matter.”
“Nice is good, but it's not enough. I want you back for real. I want to talk to you at lunch, instead of staring at you while you eat. I want to see the smile on your face and know I put it there. I want to hear your dad's voice get all low and pissed off, like it only does when I've stayed over too late.”
“I couldn't resist another grin. "So...is there a family discount?"
"Hell, no. Nash is paying full price. Plus tip.”
If I Die is releasing in the UK in February. I CAN'T WAIT! :D

"He needs you, but you don't need him."
"Your and Nash's relationship is like an innocent white blanket, which has a stain that won't wash out on it. The mistakes. They will leave scars in your relationship. But Nash and Sabine, their relationship was mucked up from the start. That's why they fit. They deserve each other."
- Not an exact quote.

My review of The Awakening + The Struggle
05/01/12 - The Awaking and The Struggle by L.J. Smith - Released 26th June 2007
The Awakening: Elena Gilbert is used to getting what she wants and she wants mysterious new boy, Stefan. But Stefan is hiding a deadly secret - a secret that will change Elena's life for ever ...
The Struggle: Elena is torn between her boyfriend, Stefan, and his brother, Damon. But these brothers hide dark secrets and a tragic past that threatens them all. Damon wants to lead Elena astray - and he'd rather kill Stefan than let him possess her...
That all sounds great right? Well, think again. It's not. I approached this series with high expectations. There has been SO MANY vampire stories, I wanted something different and unique. Sadly, this book didn't deliver. At all. You'd be better off reading the Twilight Series.
1) Characters
Elena; blond, full of herself, boy-obssessed, whiny and annoying. She didn't do it for me. She was so PREDICTABLE, I hate that in a character. She was so......stupid. STUPID. She dates guys who drink from her?
Stefan, he sounded so gorgeous and dreamy at the start, but everything went down hill when he met Elena. He was exactly like Edward Cullen. Actually, Edward was so much more interesting.
Matt, he deserved so much better. Lovely, kind, caring, HUMAN, Matt. In this book, he got treated like crap. He had his heart broken by a girl who couldn't keep her eyes from walking everywhere. Sigh, I really liked Matt, it would have been nice to see him happy.
I'm not even going to start talking about the others. What a headache.
2) Writing Style & Plot
They're both SO bad I just HAVE to talk about it. One, the writing style of L.J. Smith. Terrible. I wanted to fall asleep, no description, which left me without a picture in my mind. Two, the plot from the imagination of L.J. Smith. Terrible. Eventhough she did come up with the whole Vampire idea first, she did a bad job. Stephenie Meyer might have got a bit of inspiration from the Vampire diaries but at least she made it a bit different and exciting.
I'm going to read the rest of the series because I want to how stupid Elena can get. A bad start to my 2012. -.-

My review of Wolfsbane
02/01/12 - Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer - Released 26th July 2011 (UK Edition)
Wonderful. Just as brilliant and amazing as the first. Everything I could have wished for in a sequel.
This thrilling sequel to the much-talked-about Nightshade begins just where it ended.Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemy, and she's certain her days are numbered.
But then the Searchers make her an offer,one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack and the man she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive.
Wolfsbane. Sequel to the bestselling Nightshade. Wolfsbane....the book everyone will love. I was so pleased with this book! After I read Nighshade, I bought this straight away. I wasn't dissappointed!
Characters
Once again, I must say that Andrea has a way with characters. She develops them so well, makes them seem so real. Calla is a lovely girl, but she can also be dangerous, deadly. A beautiful and determined wolf, who has fallen for Shay, a boy that Calla turned into a wolf. I love/loved/will always love Shay! He was such a gentleman in this book, caring and considerate, my fictional crush.
Ansel, he was a brilliant character in the last book, I was heart broken to read about him with no feelings. The ray of sunshine in him is now gone. He used to bring humour and innocence to the book, it's hard to see such a great character torn up.
Favourite quote:
“Yeah, she is great. I spent the whole week with her."
"Doing what?" I asked, catching a growl before it left my throat.
"Aw, you're cute when you're jealous.”
Personally, I loved this book but I found some reactions that I thought were quite funny:
In Bloodrose, I hope that things are sorted out and that I get a good ending! A happily ever after WOULD be nice. Since I've been waiting for quite a long time for Bloodrose, I don't want to be dissappointed. There's been mixed reviews on Bloodrose.....so.....er.....we shall see!

My review of Nightshade
02/01/12 - Nightshade by Andrea Cremer - Released 26th July 2011 (UK Edition)
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?
I loved the story, loved the plot, loved the characters, loved the dialouge, THE LIST GOES ON! This is the first book that I read which was about wolves (Apart from the Twilight Series), I was worried that it wouldn't be very good, but after I had finished this it....I was obssessed. I went on Ebay, Amazon, every single book website I knew, and searched for Wolfsbane. This book? Seriously addictive.
The romance? It was rich, it was real. For Calla? Confusing! One minute with Shay in the car. One minute with Ren in the toilet. Gosh, she must be fustrated with her self. Not being able to choose between two great guys.
My favourite quote:
Ansel, I'm not the sun, stop orbiting and get in here.
There was some humorous parts, some sad parts, some irritating parts and some scary parts. Nightshade was brilliant and I can't wait to read more of this trilogy!
I rate this book:
A new take on wolves, with surprising and deadly twists.

I went on Ebay, Amazon, every single book website I knew, and searched for Wolfsbane. This book? Seriously addictive.
1) Characters
In this book, every character is unique, every character is different. Calla, our main character, our heroine, our leader, was a delightful young lady to read about. When times got tough, her alpha side shone through. She was brave, courageous, deadly, yet caring. She's just like any other girl, with the same needs, except she can't give into them. When she was with Shay, she became soft and vulnerable. It was cute.
You will either be a team Ren or a team Shay. For me? I'm team Shay all the way. Ren didn't quite do it for me. He came across as a user and the time of guy who thought of women as objects. But as I reached the last few pages of the book, my feelings changed. I realised he DID have a heart, he DID care about other people, etc...
2) The plot
The plot for this book was amazing thought out, with surprising twists that you'll never see coming. I enjoyed the tension, the suspense and Andrea's dramatic writing style. I liked reading through Shay's past and getting to know Ren a bit more. But also the small events that led up to the end of the book.The romance? It was rich, it was real. For Calla? Confusing! One minute with Shay in the car. One minute with Ren in the toilet. Gosh, she must be fustrated with her self. Not being able to choose between two great guys.

My review of Looking for Alaska
01/01/12 - Looking for Alaska by John Green - Released 31st March 2011
One single tear slipped down my face....all the emotions I was feeling captured in one tear.
Miles has a quirky interest in famous people's last words, especially François Rabelais's final statement, "I go to seek a Great Perhaps." Determined not to wait for death to begin a similar quest, Miles convinces his parents to let him leave home. Once settled at Culver Creek Preparatory School, he befriends a couple of equally gifted outcasts: his roommate Chip―commonly known as the Colonel—who has a predilection for memorizing long, alphabetical lists for fun; and the beautiful and unpredictable Alaska, whom Miles comes to adore.
The kids grow closer as they make their way through a school year filled with contraband, tests, pranks, breakups, and revelations about family and life. But as the story hurtles toward its shattering climax, chapter headings like "forty-six days before" and "the last day" portend a tragic event―one that will change Miles forever and lead him to new conclusions about the value of his cherished "Great Perhaps."
John Green expertly re-tells the drama of boarding school with a dramatic twist. I fell in love with John's style of writing. Deep and emotional, yet full of fun and laughable moments.
Miles, he's not much is he? He is first described as a skinny and pale....stick, but as the book progresses you realise that his appearance doesn't really matter at all. I found him a lovely character, innocent and inexperienced, not quite sure how to handle life. His love for Alaska was so strong, so true, it was beautiful.
I felt quite bad for Lara, knowing that Miles's attention wasn't really on her. She was a nice girl, who couldn't really pronounce words clearly, which I found hilarious!

“It's not because I want to make out with her."
Hold on." He grabbed a pencil and scrawled excitedly at the paper as if he'd just made a mathematical breakthrough and then looked back up at me. "I just did some calculations, and I've been able to determine that you're full of s***.”

My review of Eve
Eve (Eve #1) by Anna Carey
Released Date: October 4, 2011
The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.
This book was fascinating and extremely exciting. This might not be every YA lover's cup of tea, some people might not like the characters, the storyline, etc......But I loved it! I loved everything about it. A heart pounding adventure with brave characters. I couldn't put it down, I found everything enjoyable.
Our main character, Eve, grew into a braver person through out the book. She started off as a weak and defenceless young girl but as she got to know the outside world, she changed. I was happy to see that she learnt to love, to trust and to have fun. I think most people will enjoy her first love, Caleb, because he's so wonderfully charming!
All her life, Eve has lived behind a wall with girls and ONLY girls. She has never seen a boy and has been taught that boys are the enemy, that they will do anything to get what they want. But she learnt to trust Caleb, this bare chest boy with green eyes. Well, it's hard not to when he saved her from a bear which was going to eat her for dinner.
This book is full of action and sweet romance. The only bad point I can pick out is:
CLIFFHANGER! :O I HATE CLIFFHANGERS. WHY? OH, WHY?!

All her life, Eve has lived behind a wall with girls and ONLY girls. She has never seen a boy and has been taught that boys are the enemy, that they will do anything to get what they want. But she learnt to trust Caleb, this bare chest boy with green eyes. Well, it's hard not to when he saved her from a bear which was going to eat her for dinner.
This book is full of action and sweet romance. The only bad point I can pick out is:
CLIFFHANGER! :O I HATE CLIFFHANGERS. WHY? OH, WHY?!
