In a world of impossible things, where to touch the ancient power of the Strand brings mysterious and powerful gifts, an unnamed assassin on the edge of death is rescued by a nobleman driven by the urge to use his gift to bring ease to the peoples of the land.<br />
<div>
<br />
It is an opportunity that brings the promise of redemption to the man renamed Vehemence. But Vehemence is more than an assassin wanting to give up his burdens. He is a blood-linker and the needed talent in the nobleman (under the alias of) Dolour's group of hex-breakers. It is as a blood-linker that he is given a home and a new cause - to assist the group in their good works. </div>

But Dolour's group operates under the watchful eye of the oppressive Guild of Impossible Things, and when their attention is turned elsewhere, does not hesitate to associate with the Faction, which works against the Guild in an invisible war. <br />
<br />
Just when it seems likely that Vehemence will bring the Guild and Faction together in a new peace, he is uneasy. What are Dolour's real motives? Is there really a war between those who touch the Strand, and those touched by it? As they make plans to head out into the fearful Swamps, where the whole land lies under a deadly hex, Vehemence finds himself asking difficult questions, and deciding he must find the answers - even if it costs him his one chance for redemption. <br />

A beautiful young woman is entombed alive as a sacrifice to angry gods…<br />
A temple priest embarks upon a desperate flight across a hostile landscape deep in the heart of a lost continent…<br />
In the possession of each, a sacred crystal skull.<br />
England, 2012: With her life falling apart around her, Gemma Mason’s sleep is increasingly disturbed by vivid images of crystal skulls, golden cities and star travellers. Dreams that tell of courage, danger and heartbreak, and in which the future of the human race itself is at stake. As these dreams unfold, she realises she has been chosen to share an ancient knowledge, one that will have repercussions for the whole of humankind.<br />

Suddenly, everything she has ever believed in is called into question as myth and legend crystallise into irrefutable fact. With the foundations of her own world crumbling, Gemma must confront her deepest fears, for she is being asked to reveal to the people of Earth the explosive secret of our lost past. It is a secret that will change forever the way we look at ourselves and our place in the universe. But are we ready to hear such a truth?<br />

</div>
Hailey had always been afraid to go home. She had always kept her head down, never speaking a word of her home life to anyone except her best friend, Jennifer. <br />
But, when Jennifer moves away, her loneliness begins to engulf her, leaving her unstable at best. When Johnny, the hottest boy in school, humiliates her on a fake date, she is suddenly pushed over an edge, an edge she didn’t know she had. <br />
In her rage, she releases an unexpected and powerful force, throwing her mother across the room in a blinding flash of light. <br />
In a matter of a few days, her life is turned upside down. After discovering her powers, she is suddenly teleported across the universe to an alien kingdom, where she meets an oddly familiar prince. It is here on this strange but beautiful alien world where she learns who she was, and who she is destined to become.<br />

With black skeletal beasts known as 'Death Angels' hailing down from the sky and ravenous 'zonbis' rising from the grave, Kaie Ellinger and Curtis Reynolds must join forces to protect the Caribbean, and ultimately, the recently united Thirteen Colonies. Ellinger, a doubtful yet trained assassin, and Reynolds, former thief with newly acquired super human strength, will need to do everything in their power to hunt and stop The Dark Warrior before he fully launches his final plot to cull only the 'strong' and 'worthy' from his wake of death and destruction.

Thousands of settlers have come to live in this mysterious land on another world accessed only by an energy portal in the South Pacific. Facing a hopeless future and betrayed by her long-time boyfriend, Sarah Orange is one of those who leave the Earth. Quickly she falls in with a group of illegal salvagers that operates at night in the empty ruins. Sarah risks death from both The Oberon's corporate overseers as well as the indigenous beings who hate the settlers. With her life spinning out of control from drug addiction, Sarah searches for love and money in a world so close to - and yet so different from- our very own. But first, she must survive a terrorist threat that slowly begins to destroy her new homeland.<br />

So basically this novel revolves around a Winterian girl, Meira, who alongside a handful of other refugees are trying to free their enslaved kingdom from the mad king of Spring. One particular person that she's with is called Mather, who is Winter's king, and they're kinda in love but they're also kinda not because they can't be together because he's royalty and blah blah. You get the drill.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The first topic i'd like to touch is how nicely written the whole thing was in general. It felt so poetic yet simple and I just enjoyed this novel so much for just that fact.<br />
<div>
Of course being written awesomely isn't the only reason why I recommend this to all YA High-Fantasy fans. The world of Primoria is so peculiar and awesome. When I turned the first few pages and observed the map I noticed the seasoned kingdoms and... that's just so cool! I adore that idea. One thing that I was a bit disappointed by though was the lack of information of other kingdoms in Primoria like Praisly, Summer and others that I don't even remember the name of... But I suppose that can be justified by the fact that this is only the first novel in the series.</div>
<div>
But seasons aside, the magic was also portrayed in a lovely manner. Not the clearest magic I've seen but just original enough to be intriguing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Meira. She. is. infuriating. I get that she's only a 16 year old girl in her adolescence and that she's trying to find herself and who she wants to be... but come on girl. get your stuff together. </div>
<div>
Don't get me wrong, she was WAY better than most YA female main characters. Meira was actually productive and toed the line of being clever at times.. but yikes, sometimes the little girl just shone through and I couldn't stand her. Like when she started stating and repeating the obvious over and over again.</div>
<div>
And the weird-ish love triangle. Like guys <i>guys GUYS.</i> What was going on with <i>that</i>? Both Mather and Theron (Prince of another Kingdom, he gets introduced about midway through the novel) weren't very straightforward and stuff was a mess. Especially Mather was annoying. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that we're speaking of His Highness, let me rant here for a bit. He was all over the place and nowhere at the same time. Like... his whole existence was useless, the novel could have worked just fine without him being a part of it at all. Except for the ending thingy which I won't spoil... but yeah. Mather was a no for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, the first few pages were pretty good, but around page 40 it started to go downhill and towards drama town. only at page 214 (Yes, I put a note on that page) shit started to go down!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I found very disappointing was the plot twists. I guessed all of them. And I supposed they weren't that obvious... but my mind always wanders to worst case scenarios and you know. I almost always guess endings of novels; it's hard to surprise me. Still, that was a bummer.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last thing is the cover. Now I agree with all the fangirls that are commenting on how beautiful it is, but there's something not quite right. It bothers me to no end that I can't figure out what the circle means! Like, I have no idea whatsoever what it could be. A conduit? Don't think so. Spring and winter? Maybe, but why in a circle? So many questionss.</div>
<div>

<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
I don't go for paranormal YA romance often, but i'm glad that I picked <i>Aversion</i> up a few days ago! This book holds an intriguing but lighthearted story with just the right amount of romance and action to be appealing for a grand amount of readers, including kids.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHVt37cDhsfg5p_wTlDBh5YSZV6gjGl4gsjt3rYi5ldIrB1e_oX8uq9uI73vsPpuZyaBIMlOvbhU5uHU1xsr9kjWQSU2lkgxPHFGHY0DUUx9u4Ainn820d4qVv3HGfNyGUhKvUxoeX2ti/s1600/16069212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijHVt37cDhsfg5p_wTlDBh5YSZV6gjGl4gsjt3rYi5ldIrB1e_oX8uq9uI73vsPpuZyaBIMlOvbhU5uHU1xsr9kjWQSU2lkgxPHFGHY0DUUx9u4Ainn820d4qVv3HGfNyGUhKvUxoeX2ti/s1600/16069212.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">For Gemma Green’s first time, things should have been straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a thought into their head to save them from future disaster – Aversion complete. A pretty simple process given that the subject was to have no recollection of the experience. But Russ Tanner doesn’t seem to want to forget. In fact the more she tries to avoid him, the more he pushes to get to know her. Gemma knows she has a problem but is she facing the side effects of a failed Aversion or has the school’s tennis champ really fallen for her?</span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16069212-aversion" style="border: none; clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Aversion (The Mentalist Series, #1)" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></a></div>
</span>When I turned the first page of Aversion I wasn't expecting much. The Paranormal YA genre isn't my favorite, in fact I find most books in this genre despicable, but I must admit that Udogu did an extraordinary good job at pulling me into this story.<br />
<div>
Now this novel isn't a masterpiece. There are some things that didn't work for me, but i will get to those later. First I want to emphasize how wonderful I found the writing. It was clean, simple and yet beautifully crafted. Because of this simplistic language, It's a perfect story for children. I'm not saying that it doesn't belong it the YA category, I just think that if you're looking for a bedtime story to tell your little ones? Go for Aversion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One thing that that this novel lacked was character depth (no rhyme intended). Yes, every character (Which weren't many-not a bad thing, though) had their own personalities, pros and cons... but. There's a big but in there. I felt like all of them were very flat in their own ways. The main character, Gemma, was resourceful, pretty funny, very like-able and a realistic teenager, she's completely fine. But then we get the matter of her Dad, Russ and the villains. Gemma's Dad wasn't displayed enough in my opinion. He plays an essential part in the story and at the end of the book I wasn't very moved by any of his "revelations'' simply because I didn't know what to expect from him in the first place. Like I said, flat.</div>
<div>
Then we have Russ, who is the perfect wonder-boy (really? really!?). Sporty (tennis, guys. Not even football or anything. <i>tennis</i>), funny, brave and he doesn't care about what people think of him. perfect boy right there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another point that i'd like to bring forward is the action and romance. I like how Udogu balanced them but (me being an action-lover) I found that the action lacked something. I wasn't on the tip of my chair and my heart wasn't pounding during any of these scenes. A bit more action wouldn't have hurt either.</div>
<div>
Now the romance, Hah, I don't like Mr. Russ perfection. Why? He's not realistic and I found the romance very cheeky. Romance just isn't my thing, but if you enjoyed the romance in other Paranormal YA novels; you'll adore this!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall this YA (or childrens) novel was fun, lighthearted and easy to comprehend. Not only was it very enjoyable, but it's also super short! It has 133 pages and I read it within an hour. I'm very excited to start reading the sequel: <i>Sentient.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lots of Luck,</div>

The dreamy image dissipated the instant her eyes fluttered open, but the memory plagued her, followed her into consciousness. Everything hurt, as if she’d been run over by a truck. Background noise intruded on her confusion, beeping, talking, footsteps, more beeping. Bright light burned her eyes, added to the already thunderous headache threatening to overwhelm her. Bile surged up the back of her throat.</span><br />

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
The 5th wave is something special, if not necessarily very original. It's another one of those YA apocalyptic novels, but the way the author mixes romance with action and logic is mesmerising..<br />
<br />
What I loved most is how contemplative I became while reading. Throughout the whole book I was considering worst-case scenarios. And just as the main character; I trusted no one.<br />
<br />
It's hard to write a review about this book because there really isn't much to say. The characters were great. Some grow in character as the story progresses, some don't. But all of them, yes even the secondary characters, have their own personalities and stick to them.<br />
<br />
Wait, wait. There was this one thing that did bother me. <i>Where were the aliens? </i>C'mon guys. A little more action on their part would be appreciated! The lack of actual aliens was a bit disappointing.<br />
<br />
And don't get me started on the writing. Metaphors packed with sarcasm. I loved it.<br />
<br />
The plot was... I don't even know. The author leaves you guessing until the last few chapters about basically everything.<br />
<br />
This review is pathetic. I haven't said anything... This is what a good novel does to me. My inner critic just died because there's nothing to criticise!<br />
<br />
5 out of 5.<br />
<br />
Why? Because this book achieved exactly what it was trying to achieve. It wanted you to think, to be paranoid, to have a laugh when the characters made sarcastic comments. This novel makes you love every character, and makes you question the intentions of pretty much...well, everyone. Including the characters you love.<br />
<br />
Just go and read it, because this review is a mess and you probably don't even understand what I'm talking about. (For reviewers that did a MUCH better job at speaking of this book and share my opinions click <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/549256642?book_show_action=true&page=1" target="_blank">this</a> or <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/558581803?book_show_action=true&page=1" target="_blank">this</a>)<br />

It's a little late right now and i still have to watch yesterday's TWD, so i'm going to make this quick!<br />
<br />
For today's challenge i'll be making a music playlist for any of my creepy reads. Pretty simple right? I sure hope so.<br />
<br />
Hosted by Bookscape Reviews<br />

<br />
<ol>
<li>Green Day, Boulevard of Broken Dreams</li>
<li>Ac Dc, Hells Bells</li>
<li>Muse, Time Is Running Out</li>
<li>Imagine Dragons, Demons</li>
<li>Muse, Citizen Erased.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Conclusion: My taste in music sucks.</div>
<div>
Other conclusion: That playlist is pretty depressive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That will be all! Going to watch some zombies now! :D (SO EXCITED. I hope Beth is back!!!)</div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
John J. Davis is the author of the Granger Spy Novel series, including Blood Line and the soon to be published sequel, Bloody Truth, available Spring 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UbtBtliVOoQV3SlGTphJOff25abATP18rkyu3KETAcOI2ncxmjzSfAs4eLCldH-tQ1zS2oPbZ98NZi0_B750fHilisXeHz7jlJvZbwNYPIHs09-oQclpcVQrla8RVYWSBMnXmP2P9nUc/s1600/JohnJDavis-Photo+copy+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UbtBtliVOoQV3SlGTphJOff25abATP18rkyu3KETAcOI2ncxmjzSfAs4eLCldH-tQ1zS2oPbZ98NZi0_B750fHilisXeHz7jlJvZbwNYPIHs09-oQclpcVQrla8RVYWSBMnXmP2P9nUc/s1600/JohnJDavis-Photo+copy+(2).jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Davis grew up in the Southeastern US and after university traveled extensively in North America during his career as a regional sales rep and independent broker for leaders in the transportation, shipping and pharma industries. His years sitting in lobbies and airports honed his skill for human observation and fed his talent for writing fast-paced, character-driven stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
His inspiration for the Granger family-of-spies comes from the people he has known and his family roots in the Carolinas–the extraordinarily strong and gentle women and men, whose lives are defined by the love, trust and respect for family. Currently at work on the third Granger Spy Novel and a screenplay, Davis lives near Atlanta with his wife, daughter and two dogs.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpts from Blood Line</span></h2>
The black SUV I’d seen earlier came into sight. I watched it cruise through the parking lot of the motel next door. I slid down in my seat in an effort to hide behind the steering wheel, and knew without question the SUV was looking for us, but what I didn’t know is how anyone could’ve found us.<br />
<br />
I had to act. I had to get to the room where Valerie and Leecy were sleeping. It was only a matter of time before the SUV made it to the Motel 6 parking lot.<br />
<br />
I peered over the steering wheel. The width of the Motel 6 parking lot and a thin grass divider was all that lay between them and the Oldsmobile. The distance was about two hundred feet. I ran to the room. Inserting the old fashioned key into the lock, I turned the doorknob and stepped inside to find the girls awake and staring out the window.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~</div>
<br />
I woke up on the cold concrete floor of Anderson’s garage. I didn’t know how long I’d been out, but at least I was alive. I stood slowly and was immediately dizzy and fought the urge to vomit. I probably had a concussion. I walked on very unsteady legs toward an open overhead door and the fresh night air and kept walking toward the front door of the house. I fell up the two steps, pushing the front door of the house open. I saw with blurred vision heads turn and look in my direction. I couldn’t make out any of the faces. I heard talking but I didn’t understand what was being said. Valerie’s face came into focus looking over me. She was unharmed.<br />
<br />
“You’ve got a really nasty black eye and busted lip. Here, look in the mirror,” she said as she steered me to the left.<br />
<br />
The left side of my face was red with black and blue streaks.<br />
<br />
I remarked, “I’ve seen worse. What happened after I lost consciousness?”<br />
<br />
Val steered me to the kitchen table and helped me sit down.<br />
<br />
“You have a hematoma on the back of your head the size of a baseball. Sit here. I’m getting aspirin.” She turned to walk away but I grabbed her hand and said in my firmest voice, “Look, I’ve been worse: shot twice, stabbed in the back and chest. I’ve broken both arms and one hand. This is nothing. Tell me what happened.”<br />
<br />

To be honest, I think this book could have been way better in many ways. But at the same time, I kinda like it as it is. You must have no idea what I’m blabbing about, so let me tell you.<br />
<br />
Blood Line is a thriller/action novel, but it was too slow-paced for my liking. Not enough toe-curling mysteries or omg-what’s-happening-OMG action scenes.<br />
<br />
The first 2/3 of the book also felt like a history lesson. Too much talking about the past, not enough being revealed about what was going on in the present.<br />
<br />
BUT. After you get through that history lesson, the story starts to build up into awesomeness. I can guarantee that it’s worth reading through.<br />
<br />
The environment was described in a mesmerizing way, I could really see the words on the pages come alive in my mind like a movie.<br />
<br />
The only problem I had with the writing was the lack of emotion. Now this was something that exasperated me to no end. There’s this saying I read about a while ago “Don’t tell; show”. Don’t tell me somebody is scared, show me by describing their eyes widening, their hands shaking uncontrollably, etc.<br />
<br />
Before I get into the ending, Let’s take a moment to talk about the characters. in particular, The protagonist’s insanely intelligent daughter, Leecy. She’s a cool character, all right. But what I don’t get about her is the lack of any trauma… maybe it was just shock, but like… c’mon! I can’t spoil anything, so I’ll just say that some awful things are going to happen to Leecy. And she wasn't that affected by any of it.<br />
<br />
Then there was Julia, she’s a secondary character, but I just think she’s a little off. But at least she has kind of a reason to be like that… A reason I’m not going to reveal right now. You’ll just have to read the book and judge for yourself ;)<br />
<br />
Okay! So, returning to one of the previous topics. After History, you get P.E.! I really, really, really enjoyed the last chapters. They were interesting and the action was great. Valerie is BADASS. Like holy crap. Don't want to piss her off.<br />
<br />
I can’t really give this novel more than 3 stars because the first half of the book was… well, slow-paced and not thrilling enough.<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>

That was all! I hope you're going to check out this novel, it's kind of a book you read when it's raining outside and you're snuggling on a couch next to a fire :D.<br />
<br />
Lots of Luck,<br />

I don't think this challenge has a name, so I'll call it the Recreation Challenge!<br />
<div>
It's pretty simple in theory, but actually making it happen is a bit tricky. What i'm supposed to do is take a book title and/or cover and Halloweenify it! (For example: Fangirl = Fang-girl, or The Night Circus = The Fright Circus). </div>

<div>
The book I chose was Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas! I love it quite a lot and I'm SO excited for book 4 to be unleashed! (Yes, I know I said unleashed. But c'mon, released just isn't good enough for Celaena). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know this has nothing to do with this readathon, but this is my blog so whatever. I just want to talk about ACOTAR aka. A Court of Thorns and Roses for a second. It's an upcoming book of Sarah! The cover was revealed a little while ago and I fell in love. You can check out the cover <a href="http://priceiswong.com/2014/10/a-court-of-thorns-and-roses-cover-reveal.html" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="http://blogoferised.blogspot.it/2014/10/cover-reveal-court-of-thorns-and-roses.html" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="http://www.sugarscape.com/main-topics/book-club/1074261/exclusive-uk-cover-reveal-court-thorns-and-roses-sarah-j-maas" target="_blank">here</a> or <a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.it/2014/10/cover-copy-reveal-court-of-thorns-and.html" target="_blank">here</a> or just google ACOTAR and you'll be fine. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OKAY! Let's get back to the challenge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So yeah, Throne of Glass. I changed it into Throne of Ghosts... I know. It's lame, but I couldn't think of anything else! </div>
<div>
I also remade the cover *shudders* I really suck at photoshop but here it is!</div>

<div>
So Today's challenge is pretty simple. I'm supposed to state which books I'm planning on reading for the Readathon!</div>
<br />
<div>
Sadly I don't have time to read that many books... so sad...<br />
I decided to pick 4 books to read (two being almost finished!) so yeah. not much of a challenge, I know. I'm weak, okay?! And I don't feel like challenging myself with 7 books. it's too muchhhh.<br />
<br />
Okay! So let's get down to the actual books shall we?<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsSRQ2uVSLsQzbe5pMA6XWn5SBJxE1n56OEI00fXxO1PxzaduQkCE85xvYkOYQ-vod1PiYtkmfSc0c1_ku4y_52lIUr72S3eOtsWNXWTOYHvfwGqqYwttfHVPVoPsEeCCAgpLjRHKWsFq5/s1600/Blood+Line.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsSRQ2uVSLsQzbe5pMA6XWn5SBJxE1n56OEI00fXxO1PxzaduQkCE85xvYkOYQ-vod1PiYtkmfSc0c1_ku4y_52lIUr72S3eOtsWNXWTOYHvfwGqqYwttfHVPVoPsEeCCAgpLjRHKWsFq5/s1600/Blood+Line.jpg" height="200" width="139" /></a><br />
First up is <b>Blood Line by John D. Davis</b>, which i'm reading for a blog tour. I've almost finished it... but that counts!! It just does.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/0990314413" style="border: none; clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img alt="Blood Line" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></a><span style="color: #660000;">When a simple home invasion turns out to be not so simple, Ron Granger must put aside his quiet rural life and return to the Central Intelligence Agency.<br /><br />Aided by his brilliant wife, Valerie, and resourceful teen daughter, Leecy, Ron must quickly decide who to believe among the calculating opportunists, shrewd criminals, and power-hungry rival agencies racing to possess the technology that will change modern warfare forever. But when Leecy is kidnapped, Ron and Val must choose between the mission and a rescue. With time quickly running out, Ron only knows one thing:<br /><br /><i>When you can’t trust anyone else, trust your family.</i></span></div>

<div>
Then we have <b>Deamhan by Isaiyan Morrison</b>. i have read a few chapters of this book already.. But c'mon guys! This is kinda my Halloween and "finish your half-read books'' readathon.<br />
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Deamhan have survived by remaining hidden in the shadows. Ramanga, Lamia, Metusba, and Lugat have been overshadowed by what humans know as the modern vampire. But what if vampires aren't the real threat?</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><img alt="Deamhan (Deamhan Chronicles #1)" border="0" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></span></a><span style="color: #b45f06;">One woman's search for her mother who disappeared without a trace on the streets of Minneapolis takes her into the precarious world of Deamhan, psychic vampires who rule the underground nightlife in the city's most darkest corners.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06;">She gains the trust of the only other human familiar with the Deamhan lifestyle. With his help she finds not only can the Deamhan not be trusted but it s her own father, president of a ruthless organization of researchers, who has diabolically maintained that distrust.</span><br />

the third book i'll be finishing is <b>the 5th wave by Rick Yancey</b>! I have like 50 pages left so yeah... let's throw that one in here too.</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/0399162410" style="border: none; clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffd966;"><img alt="The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1)" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></span></a><span style="color: #ffd966;">Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ffd966;">Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><br /></span>

<div>
And the only book that I haven't read yet is <b>Kali: Destroyer of Worlds</b><br />
<b>by Mike Kuykendall</b>. It looks kinda creepy... And I love it already! :D So excited to get started!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">A gamma ray burst starts civilization crumbling, and a suicidal little girl must embrace her inner darkness to survive. Through death and fire, Rebecca Wilder has been reborn. Will her destructive revenge take the world with it, or can a twelve-year old girl salvage her humanity and stop nuclear annihilation? Kali - Destroyer of Worlds follows Becky’s journey as she confronts the horrors that are left behind after the world ends.</span><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19078778-kali" style="border: none; clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Kali: Destroyer of Worlds" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></a><br />

It seemed an innocent gesture, even though it did leave a slight mark. But then his life slides out of control. Somehow his emotions are influencing the real world. When two high school classmates are seriously injured as a result of his emotional outbursts, Timothy is forced to choose: take his chances in the justice system or enroll at Smithson, a private school that says it can help him. He chooses Smithson. Nothing at his new school is as normal as it appears. The faculty’s interest in his destructive powers doesn't seem directed toward helping him get back to normal. Most of the seemingly perfect student body is having an idyllic high school experience, oblivious to the outside world except for an annual geology field trip out west to search for something called a “quiznot.” The few other students he meets with powers of their own are sullen and reclusive. Timothy wants answers. Was his encounter with the girl really a coincidence? And why is this quiznot so important? But then he learns that the last student who asked similar questions may have paid with his life.<br />

But there are some not-so-typical horrors too: His father’s job is to resurrect people as anti-terrorist soldiers. Even though his father keeps warning him that the day will come when he’ll need to take over the family business, Alan is more interested in starting an Undead Wrestling Federation—if only he could keep a corpse on its feet for more than a minute at a time.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, troubles are brewing in the Middle East. A mad dictator threatens to start World War III, and Alan knows that if his father leaves for war, he won’t be coming back. Not alive anyway. With the future at stake, Alan must choose between his adolescent dreams and becoming the leader his father needs him to be. He needs to find himself and understand how his powers work...before it’s too late.</div>

<br />
Something is out there.<br />
<br />
And the people live in constant fear. <br />
<br />
But their biggest threat lies within their own village. Everyone and everything is dying, slowly and without hope of salvation. <br />
<br />
In a world where almost nothing is truth and isolation is the purest form of self-deception, the possibility of hope exists only in the heart and mind of a young woman who chooses to follow an unknown path in order to save everyone she knows and loves. Before long, she discovers that her most vital beliefs are based on a deception that will rock the foundation of her entire people. To save them, she must learn to open her heart and sacrifice…everything. <br />

In The Absence of Kings by Lee Lacroix
</h3>
Enter Garreth, a reclusive woodsman, who with his son, Novas, are propelled from their secluded, forest home after defending it from the encroaching loggers of the Blackwoods Company. "The King is dead!" they had screamed at Garreth, former royal bodyguard, and drove the man back to the capital of Amatharsus to find a reason to the most troubling statement in Malquia's recent history. Garreth unites with his allies in the dishonored King's Guard to overcome the military, political, and economic opposition that the Blackwoods Company has imposed on Amatharsus and beyond, and incites a rebellion before the free people of Malquia fold under crippling recession and the environmental destruction of their verdant homeland.<br />
<br />
When the dejected Malquian Queen reveals that the Blackwoods Company had been making the Malquian citizens pay a steep ransom for their island continent's independence, Garreth, Novas, and the restored King's Army must defend their families and their homes against an invading, overseas empire, which has been massing at Deepshine, the home of the Blackwoods Company leader, and brother to the Queen, Lord Vyse.<br />

"We Wish You a Happy Killday" is the story of an international beloved holiday called “Killday” where one day a year everyone over the age of fifteen is permitted to register for a license allowing them to kill one other person. But this year Chad Ovenstock doesn’t feel like killing anyone. His friends and family urge him to participate in the festivities, but he can’t seem to get into the holiday spirit. On the day before Killday Chad comes in contact with Ambrose, an old friend who suffered a nervous breakdown and is now part of The One Ant Army, a mysterious cult dedicated to making the future disappear. When the holiday finally arrives Chad refuses to participate and tries to survive on his own, surrounded by constant gunfire, countless corpses, and the nagging suspicion that Ambrose may have secretly brainwashed him into becoming a member of The One Ant Army cult. <br />
<br />
He visits his aunt in the hospital, gets shot in the arm, and dragged to a party: just another Killday full of traditional high-spirited bloodshed. Shot, wounded, and disorientated from powerful painkillers, Chad struggles to come to terms with his place in the strange and bewildering world around him<br />

</h3>
Could you survive in a ruined world? Inspired by the words of Nietzsche, Enter Ruinland is the searing dark chronicles of human and synthetic life following a future nuclear apocalypse. The world war, triggered by religious terrorism, causes the remnant of humanity to question faith in God and the meaning of life itself. An artificial intelligence will sentence to death all humans incapable of authentic emotion. Within a military bunker are 70 survivors who face execution by a fabricated being. A soldier with a troubled past must come to terms with a horrible truth. One woman's lustful choice may have fatal consequences. Survivors have two choices: stay underground and be controlled by artificial intelligence, or take your chances outside alone in the desolation. This is a story about the mystery of life, the finality of death, and the struggle to survive in a devastated world.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">‘One villain, a white room and the deadliest creature he will ever meet.’ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Swallowed by the harsh sea, Morgan Sanders finds himself trapped in a white room with no entry or exit. Upon awakening, he is greeted by the ghosts from his past. ‘Blue lights’ is a fantasy and supernatural short story that follows the struggle of an antagonist in a fight against his dying body and a sinister realm between life and death. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can he beat the odds stacked against him or will he forever be trapped?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23120060-blue-lights" style="border: none; clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Blue Lights" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></a>So this was interesting. There's not much to say, this story being about 20 pages long, but what was written in there? I liked it.<br />
<br />
So basically, Morgan get's thrown of a ship for some reason and ends up in an... empty chamber of doom? I'm not sure.<br />
<br />
I think that the author was trying too hard to put this story in a small amount of pages. This would be great if it would have been stretched out a few dozen pages. Some more explanation would have been nice, too.<br />
The whole story was a little confusing... but enjoyable.<br />
<br />
What made me like this book was the amazing writing style. I loved how Frazer described the environment and made me able to really picture what was going on so vividly. Like a movie playing on in my mind.<br />
<br />
I think this was pretty interesting... even though it got a BIT confusing.<br />
<br />
And then there was the ending. <i>To be continued... </i>what?! There's gonna be more? I thought this was a standalone short story... apparently not, hm.<br />
<br />
That's about all I have to say! You guys should check this out, I read it within one hour and yeah... it was pretty enjoyable. I'll give it 3 stars... well, more like 2,5 because there wasn't really much action going on except for that flashback thing? The writing was so good though...hm. Jup 3 stars it is!<br />
<br />
Lots of luck,<br />

Blood Blossom by Daryl Hajek</h3>
After having been separated for twenty-two years, Vivian wants to reestablish ties with her younger sister, Christine. Instead, she is met with hostility and resistance. Christine wants one thing and one thing only--revenge. Fueled by rage and having a sadistic sense of humor, Christine will stop at nothing to go after their mysterious mother, Rose. No one better stand in Christine's way--or else!<br />
Julia Windom, a wealthy woman with selfish motives, concocts plot after plot to ensure her personal goal is achieved.<br />
They all become embroiled in a battle of wits to stay one step ahead of the other. Lives are further complicated in a whirlpool of diverse events as they occur at breakneck speed. Overwhelming crises develop, strengths and weaknesses are tested, truths overcome lies, and shocking secrets are revealed that could push some to the brink of insanity.<br />

What if you had the power to change the genetic future of your loved ones and the people they become - simply by the way you live your life? When neuroscientist Daniel Hayden’s father dies, such thoughts begin to erode his very sanity, with the growing fear that he might share a dark secret buried deep in his family’s past – a past he is about to relive. The idea only seems to gain credibility from the bizarre results coming from his own laboratory, forcing Daniel to resurrect the discredited theories of an eighteenth century naturalist in the process. Was Daniel’s fate sealed all those years ago? Has he been betrayed by his own DNA? Antisense combines literary fiction with the sharp, crisp prose and pace of the best suspense novels. The author's insight into medical science and how it might inform the nature of human behaviour is all the more compelling because it is based on real science. It's not a whodunit, but a whydunit. Not science fiction, but fiction with real science woven through it. A thought provoking and enigmatic work.<br />

The Journals of Taylor Hart: Inside The Mind of a School Shooter by Dan Andrews</h3>

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18007285-the-journals-of-taylor-hart" style="border: none; clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="The Journals of Taylor Hart: Inside the Mind of a School Shooter" src="https://www.goodreads.com/images/atmb_add_book-70x25.png" /></a>On Monday, December 29th, 2008, Taylor Hart began writing his journals in spiral-bound notebooks. Obsessively, he recorded everything ranging from his thought provoking philosophical views down to beautiful short stories, even down to entries that could be described as nothing other than the products of raw emotion— insanity driven rants. <br />
After four years of spiraling downward, Taylor’s maniacal and sociopathic progression collapses, concluding with his suicide in his university’s observatory and with the confiscation of his writings, but now, after some time, Dan Andrews has reacquired his former close friend’s unpublished journals. Published with all of Taylor’s originality intact, laced with timeless existential questions and violence, The Journals of Taylor Hart forces the reader to confront the question, “Who is the next person on the brink of committing the world’s next atrocity?<br />

That is, until the day Death took a life for pleasure rather than duty. On that day, the first Reaper fell to Earth. Now, Reapers live among us, craving the taste of death, forcing them to kill to satisfy their immortal hunger.<br />
Giles Reid fell more than 300 years ago starving for the taste of death, only to find himself drowning in a sea of the living and blinded by a hunger that forces him to kill. In the centuries since his fall he has tried to be more human, desperate to live a life that makes up for what he is and the wrong he has done. Driven by his guilt over killing, he has chosen to feed only on evil; humans that have never been a threat to him but who are always a danger to others. That is, until the day he tries to feed on a human as strong, fast and cunning as himself; a human who, it turns out, has been hunting him. <br />
Now he is pursued by the very evil he has fed on for centuries and tormented into playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. The only choices left to him are to save the life of the women he loves, the daughter of his mentor, or betray her for his own survival.<br />
To save the woman he loves, Giles will have to be the monster he is.<br />

She does her best to hide from the world outside and forget a traumatic childhood, getting by the best that she can. This stasis works well until her life is upturned by Aimii, a younger girl she falls for at the library, and with Aimii comes an inhumanly tall, faceless man that only Arc can see. She and Aimii are haunted by the faceless man as events slowly go out of control and their lives fall apart bit by bit and it becomes clear that they are hunted by something far older and more dangerous than they can imagine. No weapon can harm him. Nothing can contain him. No one can stand against him. But locked deep in her mind may be the secret to saving them both. <br />

Shimek</h3>
in the city of Valour, the priests and priestesses of Edara, the Goddess of Light, await the birth of a child to replace one of their own in service to the goddess. When Aven's child arrives and is claimed by Edara, he kidnaps the infant and escapes the city, where he is greeted by a world thought to have been abandoned by the gods. Braving the wilds beyond the city's border to save his son's life, he encounters a woman named Tishett in a forest touched by Death himself. With her help, Aven must survive the deadliest of trials, and discovers that their histories are filled with lies. The world was never abandoned by the gods, it was consumed by them.<br />

They were too good-looking, too popular, too charming to be legitimate. For most of their high school career she avoided the pair, convinced their outward affability was just a ruse to disguise their true character. Okay, yeah, she’s a little neurotic. Even so, she never suspected that what they were hiding was dangerous. It never occurred to her that they might have abilities based more in fiction than reality. Why would it? People can’t produce fire with their bare hands. There are no such things as mind control and telekinesis. Except, she discovers, there are. </span></span><br />

In the history of the Elect, there has never been one such as she, and with good reason. Because she wasn’t born to such power, she has a difficult time controlling it. Accidents happen, putting them all at risk. As others draw near—some who wish to protect her, others who want to destroy her—she is forced to uncover the secrets of her past, and face the consequences of being what her own kind refers to as an abomination.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>For starters i'd like to point out that, even though this will come over as mean, The Elect wasn't anything too special.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Sure, i enjoyed it and thought the whole idea of being ''elect" was pretty cool... but it was just another one of those supernatural YA novels. Girl discovers she has awesome powers, complicated romance, <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">parent dies</span></span>, girl has to run and hide her powers, etc. It's always the same, if slightly different.<br />
<br /></div>
That fact aside, let's talk about the things i enjoyed about this novel!</div>
<div>
<br />
I really like the main character, Ally, mainly because she reminded me of myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She even has the same birthday as me, February 1st! That's a plus one.</div>
<div>
<br />
She wasn't one of those typical teenage girls you find in YA novels. </div>
<div>
Allison was a realist.</div>
<div>
And I admired her for being such a nice daughter.<br />
Even though all the shit that came down on her, she dealt with it pretty nicely.<br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Next up are the relationships in this book. <i>I basically loved all the characters</i>, which is a first.<br />
<br />
Allison didn't drool over the guys she was around (thank Merlin), but pretty much had casual relationships with all of them.<br />
<br />
Except one of them, of course. *winks*<br />
<br />
I won't say who she ends up with because i really liked the whole shipping throughout the book.<br />
At the beginning i really shipped Nate and Allison.. Then Jeremy and Allison... then Troy and Allison.. then Nate again and then Ryan. That loop repeated itself for the first half of the novel.<br />
<br />
Which brings me upon another important point of this novel.<br />
<br />
<i>The first 200 pages are basically high-school drama</i>. If you ask me, the novel focused too much on Allison's relationships than her actual powers. The book only started to get intense in the last chapter (which was pretty awesome). The rest was really just... not that interesting to me.<br />
<br />
As for the writing; it was okay. It wasn't very descriptive, which bothered me just a little.<br />
I love it when a book really describes the environment, but i understand that most people might find that boring.<br />
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that the writing was <i>bad. </i>I'm saying that if it had been <i>more descriptive</i>, it would have enhanced my reading experience.<br />
<br />
But the thing that bothered me the most is that 60% of the time <b>I couldn't tell who was talking</b>. There was nearly no indication whatsoever of which lines were Allison's or one of her friends'.<br />
It killed a smooth reading experience.<br />
<br />
<b>Mayor spoiler alert below</b>, so if you haven't read the book... go away!<br />
<br />
THAT ENDING. I loved it! Action packed, drama, <i>violence</i>, mystery and a cliffhanger!<br />
<br />
That ending is what made me excited for the next book.<br />
If the ending lacked any of those 3 points, i probably would forget about this novel and move on.<br />
But now? I'll most certainly read the second book because i'm really curious and want more!<br />
<br />
<b>Spoiler alert again</b>.<br />
What's up with parents dying in YA novels?! What i think was really sad is that we, as readers, didn't really get to know Regina before she passed away. It was so sad... and yet, Ally had been dealing with her paranormal roller coaster on her own for months already... so her mother's death didn't really affect me that much.<br />
<br />
<i>Or I just don't have a soul.</i><br />
<br />
That's more likely.<br />
<br />
And may I just point out how awesome the cover is?! I love it! Would you look at that.<br />
<br />

<br />
I recommend this book to people that enjoy YA paranormal novels. It's a pretty light read and I read it in a few hours. It reminded me a lot of the Lux series... minus Deamon. So if you're into that series, you'll enjoy this too!<br />
<br />
Lots of Luck,<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cardinal David Caneman took just three years to engineer his ascension into the CEO’s office of Vatican Bancorp. His cabal of fundamentalist zealots now quickly moves to seize the world’s largest institution. First by publicly assassinating the Pope. Next by replacing him with Caneman. Finally by giving the masses a common, everyday object—unquestionably used by their savior—to rally behind. For centuries, folklore has claimed the sacred item laid in wait sealed within the Church’s lost treasury vault. Caneman races to unearth the vault—if it exists. He has bet everything that he can find the blessed object, surely buried within. He intends using it to sweep the faithful from their ungodly ways and into his personal standards of piety.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Taliban took just two years to overthrow Kabul. Armed with over a billion faithful worldwide and a $200 billion war chest—and the sacred Broom Of Formia—Cardinal David Caneman figures it will take him just half that time to conscript the hearts and minds first of Europe, then… </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jackson Schilling enjoys his happy, early retirement. He attends minor league ball games near his home in Elkhart, Indiana. He’s an amateur chef. And Jackson Schilling is a hunter. Then the SEC drafts him. Come on, Jack. One last audit. It’s mandatory after an attempt on the Vatican Bank Chairman’s life. But Jackson Schilling is no ordinary auditor. And it was his Commander in Chief who personally ordered him drafted. Schilling exhaustively uncovers Caneman’s deadly purpose. First he must stop a professional assassin from completing his mission against the Pope. Now the hard part—derail a fundamentalist faction led by a brilliant, ruthless [and some would say] saint to over a billion faithful. Jackson Schilling battles a force growing faster and more deadly than the Crusades, the Inquisition or the Taliban ever were. Legitimate governments will surely topple, becoming answerable to one man and his band of strict fundamentalists if Schilling fails.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Politics, magic, and love don't mix. Or do they?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When the world is overcome with The Great Blight of poverty, corruption, and hopelessness, a group of young wizards seizes control and makes sweeping changes--which divides the human race into loyal supporters of the new regime, and bitter, angry revolutionaries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the midst of the turmoil is Amanda Fullerton, a grad student who is hired to act as liaison between the wizard council in North America and its citizens. While ruling like monarchs from their perch in the sky, the self-proclaimed "Liberators" create a widening gap among the Mortals, with Amanda caught in the middle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As Amanda tries to serve both sides, she becomes embroiled in the twisted agendas of these puppet masters. With alluring, yet deadly wizard games that threaten her life and romantic entanglements, Amanda discovers her "dream job" is anything but! While the four wizards--Demus, Indie, Regi, and Justica initially unite under their libertarian ideals and their revered god Elsedor, their unique personalities eventually lead to infighting, with the fate of the continent up for grabs.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">...................................................................................................................................................................</span></div>
<br />
To kick this off i'd like to say that the plot was fantastic. I positively loved all the politics and the whole image that this book created.<br />
<br />
The author's imagination is amazing!<br />
<br />
And even though I had no idea what they were talking about 35% of the book, i can tell he thought the plot through very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, the magic was displayed in a very nice manner. A wizard's power was basically unlimited... which brings me upon a thought that kept popping up into my mind while reading: "Why wasn't there ever an evil wizard?" Really? No evil wizard out for world domination hm? If I had that kind o power i would go around living the good life! I just can't imagine that there hasn't at least been one wizard that has gone astray and misused their powers.<br />
<br />
Plus, the book said that when a wizard was to die; his magic would die with him. Only the mighty Elsedor (their god) had somehow managed to make his magic live on. So... did all the buildings and houses the four wizards made just disappear? :/ That wouldn't really be efficient. <br />
<br />
<br />
And let me just point out that before we get to the actually action, we first have to read through 300 pages of debates and stuff like that. Now, I personally really enjoy reading about politics, but i can imagine a lot of people finding it very heavy to get through. <br />
<br />
Around page 400 the plot really starts to develop and lots of action happens.<br />
<br />
Those two combined make this novel really enjoyable.<br />
<br />
<br />
Something that really bothered me was the amount of one-dimensional and self-contradictory characters.<br />
<br />
Let's take Amanda, the main character, for example. She's displayed as caring, ambitious, smart and cunning. And yet.. she plays Demus like a rag doll. <br />
<br />
Indie, what about her? We didn't really get to know a lot about her personality at all. She's bold,smart,demanding...and then she just goes back and forth between being harsh and nice. Same goes for Justica. I didn't really know what to expect from those two.<br />
<br />
As for the two remaining wizards, Regi and Demus, they were developed a little more. But just a little. Demus was nice at times, but also really arrogant, bold, aggressive,cunning and kind of a control freak.<br />
<br />
And Regi was described as "the perfect gentleman" Sweet, strong, caring, smart and all those things. Really? So you created the perfect man there. No flaws, eh? <br />
<br />
As a reader you don't really... get to know the characters very well, and so you don't feel affected when something bad happens to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
And there were tons of type-os during the first half of the novel. Random letters scattered around, missing words, words that were only halfway written and words that were misplaced or just didn't belong in the sentences at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
Another thing that was questionable is the fact that no wizard bothered to do something about Amanda. She knew lots of their secrets and they just let her be? Shouldn't they lock her up or something? Or make her swear secrecy in some magic way that she can't break. Just saying, are they just trusting her with their precious secrets?<br />
<br />
<br />
And then there was the baby thing. Any explanation on WHY that was possible, please? Nope? Still waiting... *turns last page* nope. Nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Having read my review, you might have gotten the impression that i didn't enjoy it that much. Now that isn't true. Sure, this novel had its flaws and was far from perfect, but even though some things just didn't add up i still really enjoyed the plot lines that were going on. The action was addicting and i kept anticipating to read and find out what was going to happen next.<br />
<br />
I recommend this book to any person that enjoys reading about politics, magic and dress ups.<br />
<br />
Lots of Luck,<br />

<b>This review might contain minor spoilers. You've been warned. Also, if you haven't read Dangerous Reflections then go away!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I want to start off by saying that i'm a little disappointed. To be honest, it felt like reading Dangerous Reflections again. </div>
<div>
The plot didn't move on at all, i could just have skipped Twisted Reflections and not miss out on anything important.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whiny teenagers, annoying crushes and bore-some scenes; Drama. Where's the time traveling?! All that happened was Alexis whining about her free time and being a typical annoying teenager.</div>
<div>
I couldn't stand her throughout the book.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was hoping that there would be more action in this novel, nope. I got more crying teenagers instead.</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now i'd like to mention something that just doesn't add up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During one of Alexis' adventures through time, in Dangerous Reflections, she got cut on her arm. When she returned to her own timeline the cut was also present on her own body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUT. When she went to Sparta, in Twisted Reflections, she battled the ''bad guy'' and got sliced up pretty badly. And yet, when she returned to present time, her body was completely fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also during her adventures in Sparta, she was bleeding to death. But she was thinking of her love life. what? Why? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You don't think about your love triangle while being naked and bleeding to death in the middle of a street while your enemy is a few feet away from you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gosh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this novel was a little boring. I'll give this book 2 1/2 stars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd recommend it to younger readers, let's say from the age of 12 to 15. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Definitely give it a try if you're into teen drama. I can't stand that kind of stuff, but not everyone likes the same cup of tea.</div>

<br />
wait... what?<br />
<br />
<i>I MEAN</i> i love you Tia! :D Thanks for these amazing questions! #SO_EXCITED! ( seriously, that wasn't sarcasm xD )<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWzALDVIV75gzU7HaYZNY_adG3rp_ePXDQwu5Iwe_4pmbCSrlgTX0kEam9DUi8o2zTCo28zibQeAMwPadTYsc5Rnol2Hlx-lsUskqBFVIG3bVhhIBL-TkIhzQiZQvUe5Ss7XVHzTttUC4B/s1600/LIEB2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWzALDVIV75gzU7HaYZNY_adG3rp_ePXDQwu5Iwe_4pmbCSrlgTX0kEam9DUi8o2zTCo28zibQeAMwPadTYsc5Rnol2Hlx-lsUskqBFVIG3bVhhIBL-TkIhzQiZQvUe5Ss7XVHzTttUC4B/s1600/LIEB2.jpg" height="191" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Because this isn't my first time being nominated, i decided to only answer Tia's questions instead of the whole thing all over again. If you want 11 facts and more questions answered by ME click <a href="http://letbooksbee.blogspot.it/2014/08/liebster-award-nominated-and-nominations.html" target="_blank">these awesome words</a>.<br />
<br />
If you don't know what the Liebster Award is, basically:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>It's an award given to new bloggers in order to welcome them to the blogosphere.</b></li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Here are the rules (even though i won't apply them!):</span><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.</span></span></h3>
<div>
2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)<br />
<br />
3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.<br />
<br />
4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.<br />
<br />
5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)<br />
<br />
6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.<br />
<br />
7. list these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:<br />
<br />
8. Inform the people/blogs that you have nominated them for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!).</div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">1. Do you like reviewing books you liked or didn't like better?</span></b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I enjoy both quite a lot. If i liked the book and thus write a positive review, i'll feel happy ^.^But if i did not like a book and so will write a negative review, i'll feel good for being honest and putting my critique out there.<br />
So yeah, both are fine by me ;). </div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">2. If you were tossed into the world of the Hunger Games, who would you want as your ally?</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nobody! I'd totally win the hunger games on my own. Let the strong kill the weak and then strike when they think they're safe >:). Allies are useless, they'll betray you anyway. Better <span style="color: red;">kill them immediately</span>, that way you don't have to share resources.</div>
<div>

<b><span style="color: yellow;">3. During a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice?</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One weapon? really? Probably a machete. No ammo or noise issues. </div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">4. What is your favorite book to movie adaptation?</span></b><br />
<br />
Umm, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone? xD Love that movie! <3<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">5. What is the book that you turn to for comfort?</span></b><br />
<br />
The Throne of Glass novellas! They're short and just... nice.<br />
Comforting in their simplicity.<br />
No major mysteries or plot twists that need your attention, you can just read through them in peace ^.^<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">6. Say you got locked inside a Barnes and Nobles for days on end with nothing to do but read, what section of the store would you start at?</span></b><br />
<br />
:o I would like that.. very much...<br />
Probably the horror section :D<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">7. What book character do you think you are like the most?</span></b><br />
<br />
Katniss Everdeen. Like... I hate her. But she's selfish and all that. So am I. So yeah... Katnip and I are one and the same, kinda.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">8. If you were stuck on an island and were only allowed to bring three things with you, what would they be?</span></b><br />
<br />
How would i get stuck on an island AND be allowed to take stuff before i get stuck there? ...whatever.<br />
Probably matches.. a cooking pot and A dagger.<br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: yellow;">9. If there was one song that described you, what would it be?</span></b><br />
<br />
hmm...ehmm. Probably <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJYBOj7Cfc" target="_blank">Blackout </a>by Muse<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">10. What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books?</span></b><br />
<br />
DOG EARS Ughh! How can people do that?!<br />
Also too many metaphors. ugh. and melodramatic writing<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">11. Love triangles? Love them or hate them?</span></b><br />
<br />
Depends. If it's written nicely then love triangles can be very amusing and...fun even.<br />
But usually they're very tiresome *cough* twilight *cough* Defy *cough* Hungergames *COUGH* Delirium. I think something's stuck in my throat.<br />
<br />
That was it for now! ^.^<br />
<br />
Lots of luck,<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Bolen is a thief, plying his trade under the spires of an ancient and sprawling city. Worried that he's growing too old, Bolen has lined up a risky job, just to prove that he can still pull one off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tonight, he's going to break into a nobleman's vault and help himself to its contents. What he doesn't know is that inside is the key to a secret as old as the city itself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Kings have killed for it, demons have coveted it, priests have prayed for it, and in a few moments it will be in his hands. And when it is, the adventure of his life will begin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For starters i have to point out that it started off wonderfully. I love how the author described the environments. He did a great job on the writing. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I could really imagine all the scenes clearly, which is very important to me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> But... near the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">end it got a little sloppy, making me think that Gelo either didn't check it or just wrote it really quickly just to finish the book. It was nothing too bad, though. Just a little bothersome.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also, in the middle it all went a little too slow for me. Too much sitting around and talking to monks and not enough sneaking around and blood. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Which brings me upon the ending. What was up with that? O.o Not that it was bad or anything, just a little out there. Not exactly what I was expecting. I'm a little sad that it was't a </span>heart-rate<span style="font-family: inherit;">-picks-up-omgwhatshappenin?! kind of ending and more of a laugh out loud for no reason one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
The language they used also bothered me. It was very modern and it really killed the medieval mood that was going on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And now let's talk about Bolen. I don't get what his deal is. First he's brave, going to the Tanni manor and all that, then he's a coward by not just telling Markus that he doesn't have the damn statue. Like c'mon. You're in your 50s, you're an adult and all that. Just tell the guy that you don't have the statue! You're only digging a deeper hole for yourself! -_- But of course my attempts to yell at my Kindle didn't prevent Bolen to do stupid stuff.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then the whole deal about Markus and his little girlfriend, or whatever she is to him.I don't understand what his power was all about. Sure, he was evil and wanted to engulf the world in shadows or something right? But...how did he manage to get the city under his thumb? Magic, yes, i got that. But i can't really figure out what his limits were. brainwashing, bending flames, transforming into a black monster. Like... hmm. I don't even know what was going on in those last few scenes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't get me wrong, i really enjoyed this novella. It was light and quick to read. But i think it's more for amusement than as a serious book. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I give Shadowcursed 3.5 stars. it wasn't perfect. A lot could have been improved, but i enjoyed it quite a lot ^.^</div>
<div>
I would recommend this novella to you if you're looking for something quick to read. It's only about 100 pages after all. </div>

<br />
I'm really excited to get started! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you don't know what the Liebster award is, basically:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li> <b>It's an award given to new bloggers in order to welcome them to the blogosphere.</b></li>
</ul>
I was nominated by the lovely <a href="http://ufbooks.blogspot.com/">Morrighan Rose at Elysian Fields Book Reviews</a>. I'd like to thank her very much for this award! :) much appreciated! </div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #e69138;">The rules are simple: </span></h3>
</div>
<div>
1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.</div>
<div>
<br />
2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)<br />
<br />
3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.<br />
<br />
4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.<br />
<br />
5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)<br />
<br />
6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.<br />
<br />
7. list these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:<br />
<br />
8. Inform the people/blogs that you have nominated them for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!).<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Now let's get started! Here are the <i>eleven questions</i>! </h4>
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">1. What is your favorite genre of book to read and your favorite book from that genre?</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fantasy for sure. I love to read fantasy because it gives you this kind of escape from the real world.</div>
<div>
My favorite book is <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20613470-heir-of-fire?from_search=true">Heir of Fire</a> by Sarah J. Maas, which is the third novel in the Throne of Glass series.</div>
<div>
Heir of Fire will be released on <i>September 2nd</i>. <a href="http://letbooksbee.blogspot.it/2014/08/heir-of-fire-by-sara-j-maas.html">Here</a> is a link to my review!</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">2. If you could live in any world from a book, which would it be and why?</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hmm, that's a pretty hard question. There are so many worlds to choose from! Probably... Tril from <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13049069-soulbound?from_search=true">Soulbound by Heather Brewer</a>. Only because i'd get to be best friends with Kaya and kill graplars with bad-ass katanas! :D </div>
<div>
I just want to say that this book was great! Seriously, go read it. Now. There's lots of mystery and action. Just how i like it.</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">3. Who is your favorite fictional character of the same sex? Does this character remind you of yourself, or someone you would like to be?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
Luna Lovegood! :D As you probably know (if you don't then what's wrong with you?!), Luna is a side character from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. She appears first in <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1317181.Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix?from_search=true">The order of The Phoenix</a>(Book 5) and i positively love her. I don't really see myself in her because i'm never as calm as she is.</div>
<div>
I'm usually all over the place.</div>
<div>
She's just so cool. Everybody thinks she's high or something but she's actually really smart and... yeah, she's amazing.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #e69138;">4. Who is your favorite fictional character of the opposite sex? Why? </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
mmmm. You can't make me choose! I'm torn between Chaol Westfal from Throne of Glass an George Weasley from Harry Potter :/ </div>
<div>
I can't pick... like, it's not possible. They're both awesome! I suppose... no, just no. I pick both of them! HA.I'm just bad-ass like that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e69138;">5. Tell me the most random fact about you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Wait, am I not supposed to give you 11 facts already? I'm cutting this from the others! Hmph, i'm not about to give up free information! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>If I don't like a book's cover i probably won't read it.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know, I know. Don't judge a book by it's cover... but come on. If you had to choose between this:</div>
<div>

Basically, I have chosen 5 physical books from my shelves. Each book will answer two questions. The first name I see when I flip through the book will be the answer of that question. For example: Who is the first to get shot? *opens book at random page* Daemon Black! Oh my, poor daemon *smirks* I will only go to your funeral if there's cake ;). Because i'm just that awesome.<br />
