Rapture by J.R. Ward Book Review

Rapture (The Fallen Angels, #4)Title: Rapture
Author: J.R. Ward
Series: The fallen Angel Series
Star rating out of 5: 5 stars


Sorry this review took longer than normal to get up. I was only reading about and hour and fifteen minutes a day.

Anyways, I loved this book. I have to say this is the best book in the series for me. It made me cry, get angry, fall in love, and be sad and happy. It was a roller coaster of emotions. I feel that is why this book surpassed the others. Not only did the main character and soul have a bad past we finally got to see the real side of him. Also, we got to see more into each of the main reoccurring characters. We get to see what makes them tick, what gives them drive, and what also makes them loose their minds.I am grateful that the story had taken this turn from the last book. In the last book no one really knew who the soul was until the last minute. Well.... maybe that was just me. Matthias truly needed his own story and Ward did an amazing job telling it. The way she did it in fractions rather than in one whole made the story. It gave me something to look forward to. No one really knew who he was. Only the he was Matthias (the f****r) a true @ hole.

Now onto the heroine, Mels Carmichael. This lady is kick ass. She knows how to hold her own because her daddy taught her everything she needed to know to keep herself safe. On the other hand there are times when I wanted to throw the book across the room and others when I put my palm to my forehead and said" wtf? really?! did you seriously just do that? How could you?".  Though in her situation it was a bit understandable where she was coming from but from my perspective it was wow. In the end I still liked her regardless.

Overall this book is a must read in the series. I would have read it sooo much quicker had in not been for my new job and with being sick recently. The fact that part of it made me shed some tears is what made me love this book the most. If a book can make you do that, the author has definitely succeeded in doing her job in writing an amazing book.

Can't wait for the next book. The parts I did not talk about I can't wait to see how they go in the next.

Happy Reading!!

ARC Review of The Rising

The Rising (Darkness Rising, #3)Author: Kelley Armstrong
Series: Darkness Rising Trilogy book 3
Star Rating out of 5: 4 stars


Let me first start by saying that I won this ARC through Kelley Armstrong's news letter. If you have not read any of her books I strongly recommend you do. Especially her Darkest Powers Trilogy and her Darkness Rising Trilogy. They are wonderful to get into and read. They keep you wondering what will happen next.


I will not get into to many details about this book because it will just give away all the secrets and ruin much of the book. Which I feel is the reason why Kelley Armstrong does not post many previews to the book.

The third and final book in this series keeps you on your seat. I loved this book. I love how it differed from the Darkest Powers ending of that book. However the way it ended was not what I imagined and that is a great thing. The book makes you angry, sad, happy, anxious, love all when you need to feel those proper emotions. It also is fast paced when it needs to be keeping you on the edge of your seat. Then when it is slow is makes you wonder just what obstacle will happen next and what road block they will have to get by to complete the task they need to achieve.

This book is the perfect ending to this series. I don't think I would change it. However, besides the ending there was another I was not suspecting to happen but did. When the books is released it is a must buy!!!

Happy Reading!
