My Teasers:

"My legs gave out, and I sat down hard on the moss. I only knew I was crying when my tears started making wet marks on my jeans. I don't know how long I sat there, bent with grief and confusion and weariness, but eventually a sound slipped inside my mental fog: wings, rustling, beating against the wind, hovering, dipping, searching."

I really enjoyed the first in the series. It totally kept me entertained and wanting more. Especially its take on the Parathlon (with Centaurs oooh yeah). I have slowly started to read this one again and I am totally liking it. But I wish there was more time in a day.

"The darkness rippled and oozed from the forest, seeping over the grounds like an oil spill. As it got close, I was shrouded by all too many familiar feeling. A shudder ran through my body and I identified the source of that familiarity, and  as understanding hit me I couldn't believe I hadn't recognized it before. Evil."

Divine by Mistake By: P.C. Cast (Review & Contest)

The most excitement teacher Shannon Parker expected on her summer vacation was a little shopping. But then her latest purchase--a vase with the Celtic goddess Epona on it--somehow switches her into the world of Partholon, where she's treated like a goddess. A very temperamental goddess…

It seems that Shannon has stepped into another's role as the Goddess Incarnate of Epona. And while it has some very appealing moments--what woman doesn't like a little pampering now and then?--it also comes with a ritual marriage to a centaur and the threat of war against the evil Fomorians. Oh, and everyone disliking her because they think she's her double.

Somehow Shannon needs to figure out how to get back to Oklahoma without being killed, married to a horse or losing her mind….

So I finished Divine by Mistake this weekend, I went in with a feeling of unease, because I thought maybe I would dislike it. I was really looking forward to see my reaction, as I am a big fan of the Partholon, and ancient history. Let me warn you now the beginning was a bit slow and there were some parts I wished could have been cut out. BUT don't let that change your mind, because in the end the book prevailed and I loved it. Closer to the middle you can see the creativity that P.C. Cast has when writing Fantasy novels, with a creative edge when it came to the romance.

So as I was saying in the paragraph above you can really see P.C. Cast creative touch to each character. Casts' character were well thought out and perfectly delivered. I even kind of liked Nuada and Rhiannon (real one) even though they were crazy and evil. Another thing who would ever think I or even anyone who reads this novel would find a Centaur HOT!! Totally unexpected, but ClanFintan so hot. Some characters seemed so real (I swear the seem like people I know) example Alanna who at first is a servant then a loyal friend. Like any other person would have not dealt with what Rhea (Shannon) puts her through (but I definitely know people like that). What are friends for right to stick with each other through thick and thin (even crow like vampires hehe had to add that). For those of you who know me a highlight in a book is a well written Romeo and Juliet love story. Let me just say this book is Definitely NOT MEANT FOR TEENS. What a Hot, Hot love story well thought and the description were fabulous (I think I'm in love with ClanFintan). One thing I have to add I adore that though Shannon Parker was thrown in to someone else's life the people she cares about their faces are even in the Parthalon (even if they have different names). On to the Fomorians, they are so creepy and gross, totally fit the part on creature about to reap havoc. One thing though if you have read other books by P.C. Cast don't the seem familiar as in Kalonas arm in HON series?? Did anyone else notice that. The Still are cool, but give my the hebee jeebies P.C. Cast an awesome knack for description when it comes to surrounding areas, to moods, I applaud her on that.

So enough with my babbling I'm sorry if I have spoiled anything, but I hope I peaked your temptation :P to pick this book up. I highly recommend it, especially for those who like Adult, Fantasy, and Romance novels. This book has it all and must be read. I can't give it enough praises.  Have to give cover love to the UK cover I adore it, so eye catching like the cherry on top of Ice Cream. 

Thanks again to Mira for asking me to review this series, I'm loving it.

Tempted By: P.C. & Kristin Cast

So...you''d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark''s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite''s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn''t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted. (Summary Thanks to Chapters Indigo.ca)

    

    This book was good hmm... to tell you the truth I'm still trying to figure out the overall feeling I have towards this book. Ok here my dilemma I was liking the book at beginning it was going well a little dry at moments here and there, then when the action starts the book ENDS!!! No closure, no nothing The End until April. I would understood if this was a TV show and its like stay tuned until next week and this and this is going down then. Luck is that I read it now because what if I was one of those people who read it 5 months ago and they were stuck wondering what happens at the end of the chapter (that how I fell that most of the book could have been condensed) at least thats what it feels like to me. Ok rant over back to the book. This book did have its ups and downs it grabs the readers attention, but the downs is that everyone has to wait until the end of April to read Burned. The turn off with tempted is that some people will be hesitant to read then next book because we love the characters and the basic plot but is burned going to be like tempted and only the last few pages is when it go good?? I'm a big HON fan and P.C. Cast fan, and all the characters as well, but the ending of this book could have been maybe better placed like it should have been the middle at least thats what I think. The truth of the matter is that P.C. & Kristin have worked hard on this series and I'm not a writer so they know what they are doing I'm just a blogger with an opinion. If you have read the book whats Eriks problem in this book?? Or shall I say Zoeys?? I'm no more team Erik its now STARK all the way!! I love me some Warriors!! If you didn't here before I HATE, HATE..... HATE Neferet or whatever she calls her self I think its now Queen Tsi Sigli?? Nyx re incarnate (as if). Last question if you have read the book how do you guys feel about Rephaim (yes/no) can he change?? Let me know?? Ok overall this book was ok if your in to the HON series then keep with it I have faith in Burned sounds super cool!!! So I would totally say keep going since we have so far after what 5 books?? now 6 and 7.

I Would Personally Rate this Book:   
 

P.S. I Overall liked the book, love the new covers. Looks to have like filigree on it.

Happy Reading Guys!
