Edge of Dawn book review

Edge of Dawn (Midnight Breed, #11)Author: Lara Adrian
Series: Midnight Breed Series book 11
Star Rating of 5: 4 stars


I know this book review is long over due. Book# 11 in the midnight breed series does not disappoint in the story telling of Mira and Kellan. However, what shocked me most was how short the book was. Just under 300 pages. I was hoping and waiting for a longer book though in a way I was happy that it was not long. The story was not dragged out it kept to the point and kept you wondering.

The story primarily revolves around Mira and Kellan both of whom have led very different lives for 8 years. However, I will keep why a secret for those of you have not yet read the book. When a scientist is kidnapped both come face to face and sparks fly yet again. Bringing a love that was shared when they were younger out in full force. Mira has to struggle to trust and love again while Kellan has to learn how to not protect Mira from getting hurt yet again. We get to see a few of the original order but we meet many new faces. A lot of the new and younger generation. This is a plus because it is a positive sign of more books to come!

I would love to get further into details about the book but I would just give everything away. Either way this book is a must read. I loved it!

Indigo Spell Book Review

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines, #3)Author: Richelle Mead
Series: Bloodlines
Star Rating: 5 OUT OF 5


Another AMAZING BOOK from the wonderful Richelle Mead! This book took you on a roller coaster of laugh's love, danger, fighting, and magic use. This book is just full of twists and turns. But most of all the love that blossoms between the two main characters.

I fell for Adrian Ivashkov in Frostbite in the Vampire Academy series. Yes I love him for than everyone's favorite Dmitri. This Moroi stole my heart from his first sarcastic mark. The rest was history. At first I was worried we may not see a lot of our Adrian because in Vampire Academy Dmitri played a role but it was not huge and we didn't really see a lot of him in my opinion. But so far we have seen Adrian more than I could have ever hope to imagine. In this book in just the third chapter he will blow you away. What he says to Sydney will melt your heart even further. I couldn't help but swoon. Once he sets his heart on something he goes for it and put himself all out there. Even later on in the book he does even more to just make you with you had your own Adrian by your side.

Sydney, Sydney, Sydney. Sometimes I just don't know what to think about her. However she is proving to me that she is worthy of Adrian and that she in fact has a mind of her own and its not the Alchemists that completely control her. I loved how she finally did something so against how she was brought up and finally did something she felt was right. I was so proud of her. I was also proud over her toward the end of the book too.

Which bring me to the end... I was in love and at the very end it all came crashing down all around me. I just could not believe it. I am still shell shocked. I wanted to throw my nook across the room.

Cant wait for the next book!

Darkness Hunts Book Review

Darkness Hunts (Dark Angels, #4)Authur: Keri Arthur
Series: The Dark Angels Series (Book 4)
Star Rating: 4 stars


I enjoyed this book. In this book she is still on the quest for the keys for several different people and the dangers just get worse. With her Reaper by her side and amaya on her back they make their journey. Again there is more fighting, secrets revealed, and the relationship between Azriel and Risa is growing.

 I would have completely loved it if Risa was not so stubborn. However that is her and in her nature. Though I feel she should give herself a damn break. If she keep going like she does she will get herself killed because she is not keeping up her strength. You can't change a person if that is who they have been raised by.

In this book I wanted to punch Risa so much. Not because of her not resting when injured but because of her insistence to keep seeing a certain guy I do not approve of. Oh not to mention I wanted to slap Azriel as well for being so distant.

Cant wait for the next book though. I love Azriel and can't wait for more.

Bared To You Book Review

Bared to You (Crossfire, #1)Author: Sylvia Day
Series: Crossfire
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars


I will begin by saying that I did not like 50 Shades of Gray at all. I felt the writing was juvenile. When this was recommended to those who love 50 Shades of Gray I was skeptical and sat on buying it for a long while. I know that Sylvia Day is a seasoned writer. This is the first book of hers that I have read. That is what she had going for her and what made me decide I was going to read it.

I have to say I enjoyed this book. I really like how the characters are well developed and the background stories are actually there. The words are not just thrown on a page. I also like how the characters sound grown up rather than as if they were still in middle school not knowing what to do with their sexuality.

Eva is a strong female who has a painful past and has a hard time trusting others. However when she loves she loves to the fullest extent. She does stuff I don't agree with especially in certain situations she should know could have happened. Instead of walking out a door she could have used her words instead of her feet to do the talking. I wanted to slap her certain parts and in others I wish I could have hugged and been her friend.

Gideon, Gideon, Gideon. Sexy Tall, Dark and Dangerous. This man is full of seduction, danger, possessiveness  passion, and demons. What i mean by demons is that he as well has a painful past. I love this man. I felt a connection to him. When something was revealed in the book I wanted to cry for him. To love him and take away his pain.

I have to make another comparison. Unlike 50 Shades of Gray this story actually focuses on the characters and not the DOM/SUB story. Heck, that isn't even really revealed till the last six or seven chapters. The sex is hot in the book but again not the main story. To me the main story is how these two damaged souls can learn to trust one another and grow together. This is what makes the book great.

I recommend this book. If you have not read this book, read this book and skip 50 shades of Gray. This one will take you to new heights. Not to mention the banter between Gideon and Eva is hilarious.

Happy Reading!

Drive me Wild Review

Drive Me Wild (The Others, #7)Author: Christine Warren
Series: The Others book 14(in publication order)
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars



Lets see.... This book picks up after On the Prowl however the characters from On the Prowl are never mentioned. We do get to see characters from the previous books. We definitely see more of Missy and Graham.

We meet Tess the owner of a spice and herb store which also does palm readings. We have met her in previous books if you have been reading them as they come out. If you are new to the series then welcome to the wonderful world of The Others.Then there is the amazing Rafael De Santos. Dark Sexy and Dangerous Alpha of The Others Council.

Those of us who have been following this series have been wondering how these two met and how the cemented their bond together. The way they come together is great completely hilarious as well.

"Fear prodded her into temper."eaten many humans, have you?" She felt his mouth shift into a grin. "A few here an there." He paused. Nuzzled. Purred softly," want me to eat you?" Page 20 of Drive me Wild by Christine Warren

This is where I completely fell for Rafe. I love his and Tess's banter. Its wonderful.

I recommend this book. It's hilarious, has tender moments, moments of anger, love and hot sex. Not to mention the Hero is to drool over....

Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban Review

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3)Author: J.K. Rowling
Series: Harry Potter (book 3)
Star Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars




I enjoyed this book. Just another mystery with Harry Potter and friends. Throughout the book we learn so much regarding the other characters. Especially regarding Hagrid, Sirius Black, Snape, Professor Lupin, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew and the night that Harry's parents were killed.

In this book we learn so much more than in the movies. So much that I did not see in the movie ties everything up in the books. In the movie we did not really get the whole back story regarding Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. Not to mention we lean who created Mauders Map.

We get the laugh's, happiness, frustration,and achievements as all the previous books. I highly recommend reading this book.

FINALE(book 4) Book Review

Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Series: HUSH HUSH
Star Rating: 4 out of 5



First off, I want to say I love when authors know when a certain series has a beginning and an end. There are some series particularly in the YA genre that don't know when to end a series and the same thing happens in every single book after a particular book where it could have been the perfect ending. Then there are authors who have planned and know when the series will end. This series falls into the later.


I am very happy with the ending to the book. I ties up many loose ends, reveals who certain characters are and then we have some sad loses as well. I feel if this series didn't have an ending I don't know if I could have kept reading and dealing with Nora. Yes, she was left with a huge task and her life on the line in the last book but hell she is just flat out annoying.

My favorite part of this book would have to be the last forty pages or so. We finally get to see Nora suck up her inner child and finally become an adult and make adult situations. We also get to see Patch finally learn to fully trust Nora and a few other characters as well.

All in all I am glad this series ended the way it did. It doesn't leave you wondering if there will mysteriously be another book. That makes me happy. I suggest for many of you who are questioning about reading this book because you have something such as Nora's attitude or Patch's attitude standing in the way, push it a side and read it. It's a wonderful conclusion to the story and honestly I don't feel it disappoints.

Happy reading!
