Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy #5) by Richelle Mead

Posted on July 3, 2015 | Leave a comment

spirit bound Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy #5) by Richelle Mead. Published May 18, 2010 by Penguin Razorbill. CDN $10.99 kindle edition.

Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong… After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s-and to her best friend, Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives beyond the Academy’s iron gates to begin. But Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he’s out there, somewhere. She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her. And this time he won’t rest until Rose joins him… forever. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well I have to admit that I am in love with this series. It is truly amazing. I fell in love with Dimitri and was devastated at the end of the last book. I was on the fence about what I wanted to happen. I so wanted Rose and Dimitri to be together, but the price was pretty high. I honestly couldn’t say if I would have chosen the way she did. The ending was…well I won’t give it away.

I was then wrenched into this new book with a twist in fate and had my heart squished again in anguish! I love how Richelle is able to do that. You get so engrossed in the characters that you feel the pain they feel and you’re gripped with the story so hard you don’t want to let go or put down the book.

Again with a series I don’t want to give away the last books but suffice it to say this whole series is gripping from beginning to end with lots of action, intrigue and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat holding the pages tighter and tighter!

Amazing! 5 stars for me! Can’t wait to read the final book!

The Return (Titan #1) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on July 3, 2015 | Leave a comment

Titan The Return (Titan #1 by Jennifer Armentrout. Published Feb 16, 2015 by Spencer Hill Press. CDN $5.63 Kindle edition

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off… It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet. Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her. But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all. Because history has once again been flipped to repeat. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well what to say…HOLY CRAP! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. I absolutely adored the covenant series and was sad when it ended. I don’t normally like love triangles but I did enjoy Seth in the covenant as an intent…and a bit psychotic love interest/tangled mess. So it was really cool to see him have a book of his own. I have to say this Seth is much more…intense…and a little (just a little) psychotic!

True to Jennifer’s style I love her characters and her worlds and can’t put anything down that she writes. I like that this is a spin off that picks up a bit after the last covenant ends. It makes it easy to sink into the plot and delve into Seth’s mind and his perspective.

Did I say he was HOT?! Oh yeah he is…and I love the connection with Josie who is sweet and innocent and Seth has to calm the F down and figure out how to protect her. I do love how she comes into her own and turns into quite the little spirited aggressive one all on her own. She is a tough girl on the inside and the story brings it out. I am a big fan of two POV so this was right up my alley.

Really enjoyable and can’t wait for the next book. 5 stars for me!

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) by Richelle Mead

Posted on May 6, 2015 | Leave a comment

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) by Richelle Mead. Published Aug 29, 2009 by Penguin Razorbill.  CDN $10.99 Kindle edition

Rose Hathaway’s life will never be the same. The recent attack on St. Vladimir’s Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose’s neck, a mark that says she’s killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters … Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life’s vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She’ll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved? Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir’s and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love? (Goodreads Excerpt)

What to say?…I am so in love with this series…amazing!

This story just keeps getting better and better with each book. I can’t seem to get enough…thankfully there are still more for me to read! But holy crap what a cliffhanger! Can my heart start pumping again now please?!?

I love Dimitri…I keep hoping and hoping that somehow…well you know what I want…I have no idea if I will get my wish or if Rose will finish with the promise she made to him. I mean I don’t want Rose to become a Strigoi, but….I so want them to be together…Just wait and see I guess.

When it comes to a book series it is hard to come up with a review that doesn’t include spoilers from the other books. Suffice it to say that this book continues to be amazing. I already downloaded the next book. The characters are wickedly fun to engage in. I’m still waiting to see if anything develops with Adrian as I love his character. The story line is engaging and exciting and full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Can’t wait for the next book! 5 stars for me.

And it was memories like that, that made it so hard to comprehend this quest to kill him, even if he was a Strigoi.  Yet…at the same time, it was exactly because of memories like that, that I had to destroy him.

Wicked (Wicked #1) by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted on January 21, 2015 | Leave a comment

22895264 Wicked (Wicked #1) by Jennifer Armentrout.  Published Dec 8, 2014 by Amazon Digital Services    CDN $2.08 Kindle edition.

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her. But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul. (Goodreads excerpt)

OMG where to start with this tantalizing little morsel of an amazing book! I love Jennifer Armentrout, she is truly and amazing writer. Holy freakin crap…I do have to warn you though that this is NOT a Young adult book….I think it is even pushing the New adult genre and moves right onto amazingly hot and full on adult! Not a bad thing but a lot of her books are YA or NA. so be forewarned…it is called WICKED for a reason!

Ok, now that I have calmed myself (sort of 🙂 ) Ivy, the main character is instantly loveable, not in the charming, sweet way but in the Oh yeah she is one badass, kick ass, drag em out, sarcasm at its finest kind of heroine. She doesn’t need a man, but holy cow the one that she meets is HOT HOT HOT. Together there is action, drama, romance (of the steamy kind) and a whole lotta fae fighting, paranormal stuff going on.

Did I say this book was awesome? Oh yeah I think I did.   LOVED IT!

5 stars for me!

My Teaser:

He started to raise his head to see if it was happening, and a huge black tire ate up his vision.  He felt the woman’s hand grip his forearm.  He had time to hope that the baby was still sleeping.  Then time ran out.

Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King.

Decided to stray from the usual read this week and get into something a little darker.  I love Stephen King and haven’t read one in a while.  OMG I missed his writing!  So far amazing!
