Darke Academy: Secret Lives By: Gabriella Poole Book Reveiw

The Darke Academy is a school like no other. An elite establishment that moves to an exotic new city every term, its students are impossibly beautiful, sophisticated and rich. And the more new scholarship girl Cassie Bell learns about the Academy, the more curious she becomes. What sinister secrets are guarded by the Few -- the select group of students who keep outsiders away? Who is the dark stranger prowling the corridors at night? And what really happened a year earlier, when the last scholarship girl died in mysterious circumstances? One thing Cassie will discover is that a little knowledge may be a dangerous thing, but knowing too much can be deadly...
(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

This is my first Gabriella Poole novel and I must say I was very impressed. This novel is about Cassie a teen who has just received a scholarship to the Darke Academy. Cassie can't believe that she can leave her life of being bullyied, foster care, and broken family and start over at Darke Academy. This term Darke Academy is being held in Paris, France. Cassie is in for a surprise this may be look like a typical private school, but the secrets the few are keeping are way beyond the regular private school secrets. So join Cassie on this mysterious journey to the unknown and rich and ... :s vampires??

I have to say I am a little bit confused. If anyone can answer the question yes or no to the Vampires question please help?? If you do say vampires I say yes I accept. I shall explain I adore vampires and it shows in my book shelves which majority of my books are Vampire fiction. So the idea that Poole has kicked it up a notch and added a new Vamp to the scene of Paranormal Fiction, I have to say I am intrigued. That shows that Poole can stick with the original Paranormals and yet give it her own twist (even if I still adore the regular vamps). I am sad to say that there are a lot of people that have disliked this novel and there are a lot of people who loved it. I haven't really seen a lot of in between thoughts. What I do say is go in with an open mind and judge the book based on your impression and not an influenced opnion. The reason I am mentioning this is, because a lot of the bad reviews all seem to be the same, as if people were kind of reading these reviews and reading the novel with a closed mind. It is 2011 and I think it's time for change (even if this book was released in 2009). The Secret Lives was a quick read, and with saying that once I read the book i got lost in the pages and it was hard to put down. I really enjoyed Cassie she's all we can ask for in a protagonist she is feisty, and has a rough life. Due to that rough life Cassie has a back bone and it really shows in certain situation she is dealing with. I wasn't fond of Jake at first he was getting on my nerves. I really enjoyed Richard and for some reason he reminded me of Chuck Bass (from Gossip Girls the Show) a British version. Ranjit gave me the willies, but I think thats what Poole wanted us to feel at first. Overall I enjoyed the characters. The on character I really like and found I related to the most has to be the feisty Latin Isabella from Argentina, and Cassie's roommate. I enjoyed Gabriella Pooles' writing and I shall read on. 

One thing I would change was the cover, it's not bad it does represent the novel but so much could have been done. Overall this book is yet another awesome and unique take on vampires. This was a page turner and I can't wait for more. Hope you guys read it soon. If you have read this novel let me know what you think. If you have reviewed it leave me a link below.

My Blurb for this Novel: "This book is a great, and unique addition to the Vamp Paranormal series. Short and sweet this book was a definite page turner. I was hungry for more. Can't wait to see what else Poole is going to share in the next installment in the Darke Academy."

Series Order:

1. Secret Lives
2. Blood Ties
3. Divided Souls

I would personally rate this Novel:

5555.5

Shadow Kiss By: Richelle Mead (Mini Review)

For Rose Hathaway, everything seems out of kilter. Ever since she made her first Strigoi kills, a dark shadow has been creeping over her. Looming in the background, too, is another realization: If she follows her forbidden love for guardian Dimitri Belikov, she might lose her best friend forever. And these sleep-shaking worries couldn't have come at a worse time. The immortal unloving are prowling everywhere, famished for vengeance against her. An adrenaline-laced episode of the teen pop favorite Vampire Academy.
(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

I adored this book it has to be my favorite in the whole series. It was action packed from start to finish. Richelle Meads talent in writing really shone. I really like how with each book the characters grew as people (some books the characters seemed the same not a lot of growth). This book had a lot of Rose which I really enjoyed as she is my favorite character. Rose is awesome feisty, and overall shes is kind of hope for woman Dhampirs, because she shows them that they can be guardians too. Another favorite characters of mine and also my fictional crush has to be Dimitri. I can go on and on why I love him, but like always there isn't enough space on my blog for that. You all know that in a great novel there is always a conflict when romance comes along. This conflict has to be either Rose chooses Lissa or Dimitri. Let me tell you I was very surprised who she did choose. Me I might have done it the other way around (personal opinion). I hated, yet loved the ending, so be prepared Mead will surprise you. Overall this book was awesome third installment. Shadow Kiss was action packed had me turning pages and unable to put down. The ending did have a bit of a cliff hanger.

Series Order:

1. Vampire Academy
2. Frostbite
3. Shadow Kiss
4. Blood Promise
5. Spirit Bound
6. Last Sacrifice

I personally Rate this Novel:

Accidentally Demonic By: Dakota Cassidy Book Review

When mild-mannered Casey Schwartz wakes up in jail, she has no memory of how she got there. But after her sister, Wanda, bails her out, Casey has more to deal with than a foggy memory-like abrupt mood swings and fireballs shooting from her fingertips. But things really head south when a vampire shows up on her doorstep... Vampire Clayton Gunnersson is seriously hot. And seriously taken - by a demon. In a ritual gone wrong, Clayton tried to get rid of his unwanted bond, but spilled some demonic blood on Casey, getting her possessed in the process. Now, Casey has to share her body and manage to keep her growing attraction to Clayton in check, because falling for her demon's boyfriend just might get Casey killed-from the inside out.

(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

I adore this series it might be my favorite Paranormal Romance Adult series. If you do not know who Dakota Cassidy look her up she is AWESOME. Anyways lets get on to my review.

Accidentally Demonic was as good as I presumed it was going to be. Casey is a girl who's living like a slave, a slave that would put other people before her self. Casey job is to cleans these other peoples messes as if it was nothing. Then one day Casey wakes up and doesn't remember why she is currently in jail (yep thats right she wakes up in jail not knowing why she was arrested). Casey no only woke up in a jail cell she also wakes up with a hot temper, literally. I really liked Casey and the reason is that she reminded me a lot of Nina who is also my favorite. I thought Nina was feisty, but I think Casey topped her in this book. Another character I loved had to be Clayton oh I totally developed a crush on him. I totally dig the vampire hotties. Lets just say one of Casey regular day at work turned into a night of hell. Not only is she starting fires she is also falling for a man that is dating her other half the demon half. I know weirdddd.

This was my first Demon related novel and I am glad it was Dakota book that was my first. I totally love how she writers her books they are so easy to relate to the character (even under the circumstances). She also described certain situation so vividly I sometime could imagine the things happening. I also like how these books can be independant novels and or read in a series format. In Accidentally Demonic not only did we have the original three Dakota also introduced new character, she also re introduced Clayton. Clayton which was originally from Accidentally Dead. I really liked that because not only are we getting to know Casey our protagonist we also get to know Clayton better. This book is a bundle of joy at times there are serious moments, then there is romance, sarcastic and witty moments, and then there are moment that make you wonder. Not only is it a bundle of joy it is also a full house we get a lot of the awesome Paranormals in one book. I adore this cover (actually all her covers) it is so eye catching, as well the colors are so bright and I hate orange. I can keep going on about how much I adored this book, but there isn't enough room on my blog. This book had to be my favorite in the whole series. I can't wait to see what Dakota does with Accidentally Catty to bad that the release date seems so far. 

Just a reminder this book is an Adult series and is not attend for teens. I just felt like i was introducing a movie. "This book is not attend for teens, it may contain coarse language, and sexual content readers please be advised." (As I say that last thought in a broadcasters voice He he he he :) ).

My Blurb for this novel: "Dakota Cassidy has not failed in added yet another great addition to the Accidental Friends series. Hope you are ready for yet another sarcastically funny, yet romantic 4th installment."

Series Order:

1. The Accidental Werewolf
2. Accidentally Dead
3. The Accidental Human
4. Accidentally Demonic
5. Accidentally Catty (To be released March 1st.)

City of Glass By: Cassandra Clare Book Review

To save her mother's life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters -- never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and Simon has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight.
As Clary uncovers more about her family's past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadow-hunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadow-hunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he's willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her new found powers to help save the Glass City -- whatever the cost?

Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York Timesbestselling trilogy The Mortal Instruments.
(Summary Thanks to Goodreads)

I have to start out by saying this has to be one of  my favorite Paranormal series. If you have never heard of Cassandra Claire before reading this review please look her up. City of Glass is the third book in the Mortal Instruments Series. City of Glass has an awesome cover very eye catching, also I like that all the cover's flow with each other and have very similar aspects. I'm also glad that all our past favorite characters and also favorite paranormals are back, and as well some new characters. So let get on to the fun stuff my review.

Clary, Simon, Jace, Alec, and Isabelle are back for yet another awesome installment in the Mortal Instruments series. I'm so glad that as the series processed you can notice that Clary has been maturing. I find that Clary is stronger as a person not as oblivious, as well you can see how good she is, and she is becoming more confident in her actions. I adore the main characters especially Jace who is one of my fiction crushes, but my heart goes out to Simon poor guy keeps getting himself in sticky situation. I do adore Simon but I dislike the idea of him and Clary. Alec another awesome character I'm so glad of who he has become I feel like I have seen him grow. Isabelle who is just Isabelle. We are introduced to a new character one that I found shady from the start and his name is Sebastian. Then you have Valentine stupid, stupid Valentine. If you can find anyone who matched so well with the definition of evil it has to be hands down Valentine. One good thing is we finally understand why Clary's mother and the whole Valentine thing went down, we also see more about Clary's mom and Luke (I know I'm being a bit vague it's just I don't want to spoil the book since it was AWESOME so read it and you'll get all your questions answered).

This action packed Third novel in Clare's Mortal Instrument is my Favorite book of all time especially in this series. City of Glass is the longest book in the series and I completed it in like a couple of days of starting it. I adore Clare's imagination and how everything goes so well. The best part about imagination is writing is being able to describe it so we the reader can picture what you want us to see. I must say is that Clare had me picturing everything with her awesome description. I also like how the series came together all in this book making it action packed. All loose ends come undone in this book first the mystery to helping Clary's mom, and now the Romances as well even if some are predictable so times in life things need to be predictable so I shall not judge. Ha ha ha could also have something to do with the fact of liking the out come (I know vague again, but I mean it READ it I promise AWESOME). I can go all night about things I loved about this book and how awesome I thought it was. The problem in that is that I don't have enough space, and I don't want to spoil the book for you guys. I know I'm missing things, but I'll close this review with thank you Mrs. Clare for yet another amazing book which had me up all night because I couldn't put it down. You had me cheering, tearing up, and smiling all throughout this book so I thank you.


My blurb for this novel: "Yet another great addition to the Mortal Instruments series. This book will have you flipping pages, like Mc D's employees flip burgers. (Ha ha ha ha I crack my self up). A fun filled conclusion and maybe new beginning to a must read series."


Series Order:
1. City of Bones
2. City of Ashes
3. City of Glass
4. City of Fallen Angels (set to release April 2011)
5. City of Lost Souls (set to release May 2012)
6. City of Heavenly Fire (set to release September 2013)

Stargazer By: Claudia Gray Book Review

Stargazer (Evernight, #2)The vampire in me was closer to the surface... 

Evernight Academy: an exclusive boarding school for the most beautiful, dangerous students of all—vampires. Bianca, born to two vampires, has always been told her destiny is to become one of them.

But Bianca fell in love with Lucas—a vampire hunter sworn to destroy her kind. They were torn apart when his true identity was revealed, forcing him to flee the school.

Although they may be separated, Bianca and Lucas will not give each other up. She will risk anything for the chance to see him again, even if it means coming face-to-face with the vampire hunters of Black Cross—or deceiving the powerful vampires of Evernight. Bianca's secrets will force her to live a life of lies.

Yet Bianca isn't the only one keeping secrets. When Evernight is attacked by an evil force that seems to target her, she discovers the truth she thought she knew is only the beginning.
(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

I must say I'm usually hesitant reading the second novels to any series. The reason behind that is that I find that most authors hit all the right notes in there first and then when it comes to delivering the second they kind of coast by. Don't get me wrong I think a job as an author is hard so I'm not trying to offend anyone. Anyways thats besides the point (I swear totally got side tracked) this book was better then I expected. I thought it was a good second. Evernight was hard to beat but this one wasn't to far behind. Saying that, let me go into more details. 

Stargazer starts off with a little adventure as Bianca is breaking into Mrs. Bethany's cabin. Then the mystery begins. So in this novel a new paranormal was introduced "Wraiths" which I dislike calling them that, I prefer Ghost. These Wraiths are no Casper the friendly ghost. NO, no, no these ghost may be mysterious at times, but as well there are nights where they could keep you up. These Wraiths even begin attacking the school. So back to Bianca she comes up with the ultimate plan, she has been missing Lucas a lot since he was forced to escape Evernight Academy. The reason she needs a plan is because Mrs. Bethany is Mrs Bethany un-trusting, sneaky, and the fact the Bianca dated a person within the Black Cross she is definitely watching Bianca closely. Let me give you a hint this plan involves Bianca and my favorite fiction crush Balthazar and a relationship!! Dum dum dum dum dummmmm. Yep thats correct I said relationship, well you must be wondering why, well I got the perfect answer. Read it and find out. 

Stargazer is a roller coaster ride one you don't want to miss. There is a new kind of evil that will haunt you, and have you asking for more details. New relationship, and lets not forget the old ones as well. At Evernight people Bianca thought she could trust are not what she expected. This was a good book and I can't wait to read Hourglass, especially with a table turning ending. Hope you enjoy this one as well.

Series Order

Evernight
Stargazer
Hourglass
Afterlife (set to release Mar 2011)

Blood Feud By: Alyxandra Harvey Book Review

The action and romance continue as the Drakes face a new vampire with a 200-year-old grudge. It’s been centuries since Isabeau St. Croix barely survived the French Revolution. Now she’s made her way back to the living and she must face the ultimate test by confronting the evil British lord who left her for dead the day she turned into a vampire. That’s if she can control her affection for Logan Drake, a vampire whose bite is as sweet as the revenge she seeks.

The clans are gathering for Helena’s royal coronation as the next vampire queen, and new alliances are beginning to form now that the old rifts of Lady Natasha’s reign have started to heal. But with a new common enemy, Leander Montmarte—a vicious leader who hopes to force Solange to marry him and usurp the power of the throne for himself—the clans must stand together to preserve the peace he threatens to destroy.

This second adventure in the Drake Chronicles—told from both Logan’s and Isabeau’s perspectives—has all the same butt-kicking action, heart-pounding romances and snarky humor that readers loved in Hearts at Stake, as well as exciting new revelations about the vampire dynasties to keep readers coming back for more.
(Summary Thanks to Goodreads)

     Yet another exciting installment in the Drake Chronicles. Much to my dismay I was sad that in Blood Feud we would be reading Luke and Isabeau. Solange and her best friend Lucy were my favorites, I had grown so attached to their point of view (POV). That I wasn't excited to view things as Isabeau and Luke. I was excited for yet another view into the Drake world,  but again sad about Lucy and Solange. Let me just tell you when their were mentions of Nicholas and Lucy I did get excited!! SO lets get on to it. 

     Isabeau and Luke are here to stay both from different places and brought up differently. One royalty, and the other a hound. If you have read the first in the series then you realize a hound is low (vampire wise). They live in the caves and relate to dogs. When getting to know these characters we get three POV's two of one character and one of the other (those people being Isabeau, Logan). Isabeau getting two POV's (sounds confusing but let me explain). Isabeau; we get to see past and present and see how she became! Unlike Luke and the Drakes, Isabeau was made, and not pleasantly might I add. Life seems Handy Dandy. Don't be fooled. If the Drakes are back then Solange's world renown "Stalker" comes too. As always Mortimer has a plan to court Solange and take the thrown. To do that Mortimer must face some hurtles. Mortimer is evil but don't be fooled much more evil is coming to the Drakes even the Hounds are faced withe the evil that is lurking through the night. Doesn't that tweak you fancy. The story begin with Isabeau and her past.

     Alyxandra Harvey did a spectacular job at delivering yet another beautifully written installments in the Drake Chronicles. As always the characters were well thought out well deliver with great imagination behind them. The character were believable and as I stated in my review of Hearts at Stake there were times where I was feeling what they were suppose to be feeling (sounds confusing but I hope you understand). Let me tell you as the book progressed I found myself thinking I knew what the ending was going to be like, I thought I knew who was behind all the mayhem. As I said don't be fooled and as always when dealing with vampires keep your eyes open. I adore this cover might be my favorite of all even after seeing the new cover for the third installment Out for Blood. Mrs. Harvey had great transition in between her characters POV's. I really like the extra point of view Isabeau had, and seeing how difficult her life was before and realizing who she is because of her past.
Be sure to pick up Hearts at Stake the first in the series I promise you will not regret it and once done that one then Blood Feud is a great follow up.

My Blurb for this Novel:  "The best seconds I have had in a while. Beautifully written, sarcastic, and funny Romeo and Juliet vampire love story. I adore from the first page til the last." 

Series Order:
1. Hearts at Stake (Review Here)
2. Blood Feud (Review, your reading it)
3. Out for Blood (Book Release: Nov 2010)

I Would Personally Rate this Book:

Insatiable By: Meg Cabot Book Review

But her boss is making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn’t believe in them.


Not that Meena isn’t familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you’re going to die (not that you’re going to believe her; no one ever does). 


But not even Meena’s precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side . . . a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire-hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.


The problem is, he already is dead. Maybe that’s why he’s the first guy Meena’s ever met that she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena’s always been able to see everyone else’s future, she’s never been able look into her own.


And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare. 


Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future . . . 

(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

     What a book I don't even know where to start. First I have to say a lot of writers have been trying to attempt to write Paranormal Romance (as the genre is very popular) some authors have succeeded in versatile writing and others have failed. Meg Cabot succeeded, and you can tell she did her research on the subject.  Most historical references where are real which was an added bonus to making this storyline seem believable.

Dead is Just a Rumor By: Marlene Perez "Book Review"

As the creepy little town of Nightshade prepares to celebrate its 200th anniversary—on Halloween, of course—many of its paranormal residents are receiving mysterious blackmail letters. Psychic teen Daisy Giordano and her sisters set out to find out who is behind the threats. But launching an investigation isn’t easy for Daisy with her overprotective father watching her every move. Though she’s is happy to have him back after the years he spent being held captive by an anti-paranormal group called the Scourge, Dad is having difficult time adjusting to home life—and the fact that his little girl is now a senior in high school. He even disapproves of Daisy’s boyfriend, Ryan. Can their relationship take the strain?


And Daisy’s got even more on her plate: A talented amateur chef, she has won cooking lessons with celebrity chef Circe Silvertongue. After nosing around (with a little help from Circe’s pet pig), Daisy begins to suspect the temperamental chef’s secrets aren’t only in her ingredients...


The fourth installment in this favorite series is full of surprises and scares! (Summary Thanks to GoodRead )
So guess who's back? Yep thats right Daisy Giordano is back and for those of you who read the other know that when Daisy's around there is always trouble. I really adore this series it's actually one of my favorite paranrmal nov els. Marlene Perez makes these books in this series full of all our favorite Paranormal friends Exmaple: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Shifters, Ghosts, Invisable people, Telepaths, mind readers, and last but not least Mermaids.

Like always a book has the good guys and the bad guys, there has to be evil of some sort for the book to be tempting. This book has you guessing from the begging and let me tell you I only realized who was playing all the jokes, and causing all the ruckus probably only a little bit before Daisy, and not a lot though. I loved these characters right from the first book. Another thing I liked about Marlene's' writing is that as the characters got older in years they also seemed to mature (the reason why I'm saying this is that there are a lot of books that the characters don't see to grow). So by saying that I could tell that Daisy and her friends were in their senior year, not the kids we were first introduced to 4 books ago. Don't get me wrong, but there is always a but when saying such nice things so the But: Daisy at some points in the book gets Whinny (I could picture her stomping her feet).

So Marlene Perez keeps getting better even though there is no way of beating the first in the Series Dead is the New Black, but Dead is Just a Rumor was fairly close. The reasoning to why I think these books are so lovable is that instead of basing the book on one major occurrence that build and builds until problem solved. Marlene Perez writes about many occurrence that maybe will all work out to be the same-thing, but for now thats enough no more giving information.

I would love to rate the cover of this book, but as I received an e-Version for review (thanks Net Galley).  Last thought I do truly wish these books were longer.

Book Review in a quote: "Easy to love Paranormal Young Adult, I call it a full packaged deal with 218 pages"

Series Order:
1. Dead is the New Black
2. Dead is a State of Mind
3. Dead is so Last year
4. Dead is Just a Rumor (To be Released: Aug. 2010)
5. Dead is not an Option (To be Released: Spring 2011)


I would Personally Rate this book:

Van Alen Legacy By: Melissa De La Cruz Book Review (Contains Spoilers, maybe more then one)

Basic Story: Schuyler is back for another installment is the Blue Blood novels. So after the Croaten Massacre that happen in Rio Sky is being accused of the occurrences and the death of her grandfather Lawrence Van Alen, knowing that she is innocent Sky and Oliver (her Conduit/ BFF/ Human Familiar) set out on a journey to fulfill the Van Alen Legacy (but just one problem Sky doesn't know what it is). So she and Oliver travel around the world in hunt of the Van Alen Legacy, but first she need to figure out how to keep her safe from the American coven (Corrupted might I add). 

Bliss is confused and alone (not literally) her mother Bobi-Ann was killed in Rio, her so called sister had gone missing, her father is distant and her best friend has run away! Also her love killed by a silver blood! All shes left with is a short memory, blackouts and a Visitor who doesn't leave her!! 

Mimi is off on an adventure living her life to the fullest love ahh love she's on top of the world (thanks to Sky) running away with her Conduit! Mimi has Jack where she wants him. Right??but nothing is as it seems!!

I love these blue bloods books (I sometimes think I love them more then... Twilight!!) I know how, but I do! The beginning of the book was kind of the confusing I don't know if it's because I read Revelations a while ago or just because! After I got hooked on these book a bit predictable except the end!

I don't know I like Oliver but not as a boyfriend more of a friend like Simon and Clary in the Mortal Instrument Series! I love that Melissa De La Cruz got creative with the whole history around this book and it was very descriptive and I was able to visualize it! I love the end of this book kept me wanting more! I hate that I have to wait until October 2010 for Misguided Angel even June 29th 2010 Keys to the Repository. I love that everyone knows something that could help each other in the over all happiness but it hurts the over all happiness but it hurts you because you wish you had a phone to fiction land to call the characters and tell them the out come of there actions. 


This was yet another well written book by Melissa De La Cruz, great Character transition. There were some parts I wished to rush but the rest of the book made up for that. I adore this book cover it might be my favorite in the whole series. I would highely reccommend this series especially for all you young adult vampire lovers. 


Series Order: 
1. Blue Bloods
2. Masquerade
3. Revelation
4. The Van Alen Legacy
 *Keys to the Repository (Extension novel)*
5. Misguided Angel

I would Personally Rate this Book: 4.5
