The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

Ok, I finished this book in less then a day and I totally loved it. I don't know how I did it, but I did. In the past I have finished books in one day but the were about 250 pages or less but this is close to 400, didn't know I had it in me;) The mystery was suspenseful. The love story classic. I can't wait for the sequel I have to know what happens next. This is one book you have to pick up next time you are at the book store.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

Ahh so good! This book had me guessing about who was who and what was what the whole way through. It was an exhilarating ride! Great writing, vivid imagery that's what I love to see in books and I was not disappointed in this one. This is the second book I have read on fallen angels (Hush Hush the 1st) and I have really Fallen (sorry couldn't help it :) in love with the subject. The second installment Torment is scheduled to be released in September 2010 and I will be reserving my copy as soon as it becomes available.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

I have read some good reviews on this book so I was really excited to get my hands on it. Sorry but I have to say I was just the teenies little bit disappointed. Over all I thought it was good and I will be reading the next book but I guess I was expecting more. I do have to say that the love story between Sam and Grace was absolutely great!!

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

I love the creepy south!! :). I have always been fascinated with magic and witchery since I was maybe 13 and I haven't read a good witchcraft book since the Harry Potter series. Though these two magical worlds are very different I think the BC series is going to be just as big and popular as the H.P. books and movies and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Warner Brothers has bought the rights for Beautiful Creatures (click on the link below for more details). From what I have gather this is the first book of possible six in the series and I can't wait for the next installment. Beautiful Creatures is a majestic world set in Gatlin, North Carolina filled with mystery, love, and self discovery. It's a fantastic journey that will leave you desperately wanting more.

Wake / Fade / Gone by Lisa McMann

This was the first non-fantasy book series I've read and it surpassed my expectation by a HUGE margin. I was not expecting it to be so good. The writing is different then what I'm used to but didn't take me long to settle into a rhythm. From the begging of Wake you can feel the emotional tension between Janie and Cabel..aaahhh how I love him. He's not perfect but neither is Janie. FADE raises the emotional level so much hire than WAKE I can't imagine what lies ahead for me in GONE (release date 2/2009). This series will leave you with your heart racing.

The House Of Night by P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast

1. Marked
2. Betrayed
3. Chosen
4. Untamed
5. Hunted
6. Tempted
7. Burned 4/27/10

This series is a little more provocative than other YA books I've read before. The whole consept of having to move into a school as you transition into a full fledge vampire is pretty interesting and grabed my attention from the very begining. Of course each book has it's own journey and I enjoyed them all but when the sixth book Tempted recieved some bad reviews I was contemplating on whether to buy it or not. But I always finish a book even when I don't like where it is going because you never know what can change in a story. So taking matter's into my own hands so that I can form an oppinion of my own I went out and bought it. P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast wrote this book in several characters POVs (the others are in Zoey's POV) and it wasn't as bad as I was hearing. Yes, what happens at the end is devastaing and Erik was acting like a total jerk but the journey was still exciting and interesting. So now I can't wait for the next book Burned to come out! I can imagine this world so clearly. It makes me want to be marked and have to live at The House of Night, except for the hole evil thing that's going on there. You'll see what I'm talking about once you get swept away into this series. And believe me... you will.

The Vampire Diaries by L.J.




I picked up these books after learning it was going to be a TV Series and wanted to check out the original story. The first two books were good..not great but good. Then I got to The Return and I was like "What the Heck is going on here?" I wasn't lost but I think there were too many things going on and the two brothers loving the same girl sinerio got a little old by then so I just finished the book to complete it. I don't think I will pick up the next one. I might. Just depends what mood I'm in when it is release.
