Goddess

After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas's life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

In Josephine Angelini's compelling conclusion to the masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all to change a destiny that's been written in the stars. With worlds built just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched.

This is the nail butting conclusion to he fabulous trilogy that has kept in suspended for the last three years. 

And. Most say it wasn't what I expected, I hope for more and the death of certain characters and then there return, yes we get to see more of the Underworld and its lord Hades. Plus, all I am saying is Lucas can be stubborn and bull headed making a fucking deal with The Lord of the Dead.

Every at the ended start to fall to perfectly into place, but then one has to be conscious that I never really happy with the last book of a serious, simply because the series is ending and normally the book can't give the do the series justice, no matter how hard the author tries. Well so as to stop my rambling I finish saying that it was a good book, but I expected more. I do recommend this serious for anybody who love reading about Greek history and its crazy horny gods.

Ashes and Ice

She is desperate to remember.
He is aching to forget.
Together, they are not broken.
But together, one may not survive.

​Jade wakes up with no memory of her past and blood on her hands. 

Plagued by wicked thoughts, she searches for answers. Instead, she finds a boy who doesn't offer her answers, but hope. But sometimes, when nightmares turn into reality and death follows you everywhere, hope is not enough. 

LUST. LOVE. LOSS. Sometimes, all that is left are Ashes and Ice.

It was cute in a way and it made me smile when Jade thinks that most times hope the main character may.

The book is a new tale of angels and demons. I normally tend to keep my distance from this sub- genre though it was a startling surprise when I came to the end.

Saying that it was also pleasant surprise the ending, complete unexpected twist. I would not have guess it.

The only thing lacking is the male protagonist, Conner, yes he is sweet and shy but he just isn't my type, however the the second male lead that I suspect we will see a lot of on the next book from the few pages we get in the ending and epilogue he sounds yummy and one can guess that those two (Jade and Giovanni) have some very interesting history.

This book leave off in a very interesting state and has me curious to what will come next, but like I said before it was lacking in some aspects. 

Darkest minds

When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.
When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.
When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

The book contains an interesting plot and it carries great potential, however the main character, our heroine was so stressful at time that I jus wanted to grab her and give her a good shake. Dang from the beginning I got the feeling of how naive she was a stupid. Yes great move in telling the controller that she was Green and not a Orange might be one of the only smart things she did in the whole. After that it all starts to go down hill form their, she instantly beginning to ignore herders and pushes them to the back of her mind, yet we can all guess how that is going to turn out. One of the things that stressed me out the most was how submissive she was and she let others do the thinking for her. And yet out of no where they get attack and with a hit on her head that could be a serious concussion she is able to disable an experience bounty hunter and with her powers that she fears above all else, she erases the memories of them from said bounty hunters mind.

Ruby annoyed the life out of me and I barely got through a chapter without rolling ,e eyes and screaming her name.

The only shocker was Clancy I liked him from the beginning and it was a little of a shock that he turned put being just as bad as his dad or worse. Though I may be a little bias, he was the only character that told Ruby everything that I've been thinking well him and Sam. So that instantly put him on my good side.

While I am not saying that Ruby should instantly trust everyone she meets because that is totally idiotic and suicidal she should learn to use people and turn their own mind games back to them in her favor. 

Unfortunately we finally get a break in the end of the book, to save Liam life she agrees to stay with the League and the girl decides to set him free by erasing his memories of her. Noble but at the same time it hits the core of selfishness she didn't give him a choice and it is the first time she does something for heels and it makes her character more believable no human is that selfless. Throughout the book and I bet you the author thought it a good idea to add a moral lesson in the book. Ruby all about I'm staying with them to protect them, I'm learning to use my powers to protect my friends all I want is to protect them. But how in the end can she protect them without some self preservation and self confidence in what she is and doing.

Though I imagine that it is part of her character building though there isn't much of that as the books progress.

It show some hope for the next installment, the ending is the only thing giving hope in the second book. It is the last chance this series has to make a good impression on me!!!!

Review: Iron Queen (Daughters of Zeus)

Life is hell for Persephone. Zeus will stop at nothing to gain access to the living realm and the Underworld, and as the only living god with a right to both, Persephone’s in trouble. Captured and tortured beyond the limits of her resolve, Persephone must find the power to stand against Zeus. But will she be strong enough? 

Meanwhile, Hades contemplates desperate measures to rescue his queen. Persephone never thought of herself as dangerous, but there’s a reason gods never marry for love. A being with the power to destroy all of creation shouldn’t place more value in one individual than the rest of the planet. But Hades...Hades would break the world for her.

To save the world and stop both Hades and Zeus, Persephone must make a difficult choice. One that may cost her everything.

Spoilers in the following Review, you have been WARN!!!!

The books continues right off where the last leaves off, Persephone getting kidnapped and Hades getting knocked out from the pain he feels through the equilibrium bond the two share. I can honestly say tis is one of my favorite serious about Hades and Persephone. I adore how the author doesn't immediately get into Greek mythology and paint Hades as the bad guy but for a first, as the dashing incredibly sexy male protagonist. In my opinion this serious deserves much more attention then it is getting it is new and different then what is out there in the media eye.

The ending was wow and it left me wanting more.... I was near tears in the end one does come to care about all the characters including Apollo tough we only see him for a short while as well as Demeter and we all know that has been one of the obstacles the relationship between Hades and Persephone have found more difficult to over come. But what tore my heart up was the death of Poseidon's son, Triton. It made me hate Zues even more. 

The plot was so well thought through it all and being able to read it from various points of view, Persephone, Aphrodite and surprise surprise and my favorite Hades. The twist and turns kept me at the edge of my sit and unable to let it go for even a moment.

So I recommend that you drop whatever book you are reading or are planning to read and grab this series if you are looking for something fresh funny and with characters  that will make you jump at every turn.

Review: Splintered

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.
When her mother’s mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.

Now reading this book was ok at the beginning, but when you got to the middle. Wow, just wow you first start out starting to like Jeb, but the moment you me Morpheus, I fell in love with him instantly. I have to say I am one hundred percent team Morpheus in this tale. He is just everything that a girl, like me could dream for, smart, clever, hot, intelligent, arrogant, confidence, etc.…
The book is an excellent read. One can lose one’s self within the pages and not feel time go by. It is a prefect new version with unexpected twist on a classic story. The book is a breath of fresh air after reading the same books for so long. Something totally new compare to what one normally finds.
This book I totally recommend it and I can’t wait to read the sequel, Unhinged that comes out in January 2014.

Review: Sweet Peril

Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

Should I say suspense or what? It was killer. All I could think about as I read was the unfairness of Kai and Anna’s situation and then to find out it was all her father’s fault, the Duke of Addiction. Hell could get any more complicated for them, pun not intended, and yes it can our adorable Kope is also a nephilim of lust. To say that there is also a steamy scene between Anna and Kope in a closest no less. Wow was my only thought. And just when you think it can’t get any more heavy Anna heads off to LA. The place where move to, to avoid her. Though don’t get me wrong he does make appearance before this but they all are heart wrenchingly painful and bitter to say no more.
This book was a blast to read. I laughed in almost every chapter and Kaidan had me fanning myself to keep myself from blushing for all his innuendo and inappropriate double meaning comments.
I totally recommend you guys to read it if you wanna have a joyous and hilarious afternoon.

Review: Through the Ever Night

It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.
Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.
Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at fi rst. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?
Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure—and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

So this is my first book review and I must say that I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. the trauma behind the it all. It also answers question that the last book left open. Like what ever happened to Perry’s sister.
The romance between Aria and Perry was more about her getting accepted in his tribe and the realization of what she left behind. Also, the need to help her friends survive the destruction of the Pod, it is until the very end that Perry and Aria get the realization that they work better as a time then separated.
The majority of the tale focuses on the fact that Aria is an outsider and that nobody wants her around. She is a dweller and what means is that she only brings trouble with her.
I found the book a great read and I could barely contain my laughter at times. the hours passed by me and I almost cried when I reached the end. I can’t wait till’ the next  one to come out and tell us the conclusion of such a marvelous world.
