<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>In the 23rd century, war has ravaged the planet.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A biological weapon has decimated the population, and those who remain have been driven to desperate measures to survive. Over the course of a century, evolution delivers an answer -- the Xeno gene, which provides its bearers with immunity to disease. All adolescent girls are tested for the X-gene, and carriers are obligated to bear children for the good of the human race.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>The promise of salvation comes at a terrible price.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stone Emmerson, heir to a position of supreme power, is surprised to learn his best friend Kella is an X-gene carrier. He's quick to claim her as his own, but as a mere servant, Kella can't help but doubt his motives. Before he can offer the protection of his name, she escapes his household. Mourning her loss, Stone becomes the black sheep among his peers by focusing on the welfare of his people.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>While survival and freedom hang in the balance...</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Starting over under an assumed name, Kella is a founding member of the X-Diplomats, a radical group dedicated to stopping enforced X-gene testing and promoting equal rights for commoners. Years pass before she crosses paths with Stone again. As the web of deceit that has come between them unravels, their love begins to grow. But can Stone turn a blind eye to Kella's violent revolution and see the justice of her cause? Or will their differences prove too great to overcome?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gracen is a
hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. When
not writing, she’s a full-time lacrosse mom for her two sons
and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an
unusual relationship with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success
to his brilliant mind. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and
movies, Alabama football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order
of priority. She’s convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending
coffee and writing together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of
her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands.
Gracen writes is multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance,
and contemporary romance. To learn more about Gracen or to leave her a comment,

<b>It’s good to be the Queen…</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having ascended the throne of Hell, Madison Wescott is finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Though she has embraced her demonic nature, she has ensured the safety of everyone she loves. With both Micah and Nix at her side, she wields more power than she could have ever imagined.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the wake of a failed assassination attempt, Madison learns about a realm of the damned older than Hell itself. A fierce and powerful incubus vows to escape his imprisonment there — and his efforts are weakening the bonds that hold him and countless other monsters at bay. With no plan and nowhere else to turn, Madison contacts an unlikely source for help. But whose side is he really on? Will he help preserve her reign, or bring about Hell’s downfall?</div>

Seriously, I know how underrated this series is and it doesn't get the attention it deserves, so THANK YOU for not giving up on it thus making my life a little bit better.</div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Royal Parnerships </i>is operating as a bridge between the original trilogy and the upcoming spin-off books (Zen & Elias -if we live long enough to see these :P). It provides closure as well as sets up new storylines. Also this might be the last book with mostly Madison's narrating, I'm pretty sure she will get some chapters in the later books too. Mads just showed her darker side in RP and not everyone is perfectly fine with it (*glares at Nix*). I feel a great disturbance in the Mic-Mad-Nix force, but I guess we just have to wait and see.<br />
<br />
<b>RP starts a little bit slow, bringing us up to date with our favorite hellish crew's life.</b> Mostly it's about Madison's choice at the end of Genesis Queen and how others (like Nix's jackass family) deal with that. Also the old epilogue from GQ have been moved to as one of the plotlines in RP, clearing things up a bit (at least for me), but nothing new. However, this is only the first half of the book. <b>The second half brings a helluva lot more exciting shit to the table.</b><br />
<br />
First of all, <b>there are new enemies.</b> Some Angel just can't sit on their asses and are out for Madison's blood and they're bringing the big guns. Meaning: awesome new characters. A trio of total badassness, though I wouldn't have mind to see them in more action. And then there's a secret weapon, a new creature, basically the Ace in the deck which could be Madison's downfall. Whoever holds it has a serious advantage. Besides the Angels and their backup, Madison has to deal with one more enemy. A freakishly powerful demon who wants to unleash himself and his buddies on the world, and if you thought Micah's apocalypse plan was the worst thing that could happen to humans, well... let's just say this would be way worse.<br />
<br />
But as good old Hippocrates said: "<i><b>For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure, as to restriction, are most suitable.</b></i>" So Madison has to battle with her own self and her lovers, too, to do what must be done, to ask and accept the help of those none of them trust. Which brings us some very interesting and intense family reunions. And above all this, there's still an unnerving prophecy about someone close to her betraying her and at this point, it could be her mentor, friend and adopted brother, Zen, or even one of her lovers.<br />
<br />
What made me love this book was that <b>it was a perfect bridge between two era. It didn't feel like a waste of time, paper or money because it really gives the fans what they would expect from a novel like this.</b> The characters, and along with them the story is moving forward, evolving and becoming bigger, better and more complex. I loved seeing Madison's bad side and that she finally acted like a total boss, a true Queen of Hell. We got to see more depth of some characters which helps us see their action more clearly and could even help to understand them more. <b>I waited for so long for this book and I was anything but disappointed. I was excited, captivated, amazed, impressed and freaking happy</b> (mostly for a certain character's return). The only bad thing about this book was that it was far too short and ended it on a cliffhanger! This series is TORTURE... like.."<i>No one in the history of torture's been tortured with torture like the torture I am tortured with</i>."<br />

<h3>
Royal Partnerships Excerpt:</h3>
<br />
“Collecting and
torturing a soul is dangerous business, my sister,” Zen said.<br />
<br />
“So was becoming
Queen of Hell. What’s problematic about going with the flow?”<br />
<div>
<br />
More of the same unblinking stare from him. “If you go rogue, Madison…”<br />
<br />
Madison slammed against the window-wall behind her. Despite the pane’s solidness, she felt
it shimmy when it received the brunt of her weight. Recognizing Zen’s new demonstration of
power, she elevated her eyebrows at him. With a smirk, she rubbed her back against the glass.
She palmed her dragon blade as she flung a ninja star. He leaned to the side, dodging the star
with ease. Of course she missed.<br />
<br />
“You can’t kill me.”<br />
<br />
Only his creator
could take him down.<br />
<br />
Madison palmed her other dagger and eased away from the
window. “Is this you coming for me, Zen?”<br />
<br />
His one-shoulder shrug sufficed as an
answer. The pounding on the door, followed by Nix and Micah’s yelling further answered her
question. Zen had magically locked them out. That’d been why she saw his power flare for a
brief second during their conversation.<br />
<br />
She went for him. He blocked each jab and
slash. Every kick and punch. She eyed him as they circled one another.<br />
<br />
He toys with
us, her demon remarked.<br />
<br />
Of course he does, that was Zen’s way when they
sparred.<br />
<br />
“Have I not taught you anything?” He smacked her across the cheek in a
whip-like move she hadn’t seen coming. It wasn’t hard enough to hurt, but the blow stung all the
same. “You tire yourself knowing I’m the superior fighter. It’s like you sacrifice yourself to me.
Too easy.”<br />
<br />
They went at it again. She tripped over a rug, stumbled backward, and
came up dead-footed with her spine against the windowpanes. He moved into her space. Eye-
to-eye they stared at one another, her panting the only racket in the room.<br />
<br />
“So this is
how it all ends?” she asked as he elevated a hand and braced it against the glass next to her
head.<br />
<br />
“Maybe...”<br />
<br />
The door practically throbbed from all the kicking,
pounding, and magic thrown at it. “You’re scaring my men.”<br />
<br />
“They should be
terrified.”<br />
<br />
Madison settled her hand on his arm. “I trust you.”<br />
<br />
She chugged
his magic harder than she ever had anyone’s, and screamed as pain slashed through her head.
Zen’s eyes widened, silver bright, and he jerked away as his magic held strong, barring her
husbands from the room.<br />
<br />
Zen stumbled, his footing off, and he swayed a moment
before going to a knee. Wincing as the pain receded, Madison circled him and secured her
blade in its leather holster.<br />
<br />
She threaded her fingers in his hair and pulled his head
back. His shallow breathing surprised her, “Concede defeat?”<br />
<br />

Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. When not writing, she’s a full-time basketball/lacrosse/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an unusual relationship with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success to his brilliant mind. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She’s convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending coffee and writing together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. Gracen writes is multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and contemporary romance.

ACOTAR is loosely based on the Beauty and the Beast, so don't be surprised if you find a lot of similarities between the two. It's supposed to be that way. It also gives a nod to some other fairy tales and myths - the story of Hades & Persephone for example -. It's set in a medieval <b>world</b> where Fae and Humans are mostly enemies. However after the great war, there's been an agreement, a truce so to speak. Each race have their own lands and realm, and trying to stay out of each other's way, most of the time. But like with every war, there's always some rebel who want to conquer the other, not giving a crap about anything and anyone and will even destroy their own people to achieve their goals. This is the underlining plot of ACOTAR. Our heroes trying to stop the most dangerous and evil enemy they've ever faced before it destroys everything they hold dear.<br />
<br />
Like I said at the beginning, it's kind of a retelling of B&B/original fantasy, meaning the main plot is obviously a <b>romance</b> similar to that. Only this time it's a Human and a Fae. While Tamlin, our Fae Romeo is able to shift into any animal, and meets Feyre the first time in a beast like form, Sarah actually switched the roles, and in ACOTAR our handsome "beast" lord is the one who's trying to melt his stubborn, wild human's heart. And I'm so freaking glad Sarah decided to make this a New Adult, instead of a YA, because we certainly got some sexy time.<br />
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c7/36/6d/c7366d3c7079ba1ae5214abebf66fa84.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c7/36/6d/c7366d3c7079ba1ae5214abebf66fa84.jpg" width="153" /></a><br />
<b>Feyre</b> is a serious badass even if she's not kicking every disgusting thing's in the balls, she still manages to survive - granted, she gets a lot of help most of the time she's about to be erased from existence-, she's holding her own pretty good. She's a strong, loyal, fierce and gutsy character. Definitely the perfect character for this story. A bit reckless, though but she has her own wits (still I can't forget the riddle, c'mon it was super easy!!). The things she goes through make her a true Heroine and not a damsel in distress.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0c/2e/e2/0c2ee2c33eaee003acbd2393c7576eee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0c/2e/e2/0c2ee2c33eaee003acbd2393c7576eee.jpg" width="175" /></a><b>Tamlin</b> is an unquestionably dreamy hero. Rarely a jerk, mostly sweet, polite and charming. He is a tortured hero, though, so he has some deep scars and secrets. I wouldn't say he's truly unique character, but he's definitely came from the box of good kind of heroes. Well, at least the kind that <i>I</i> like.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Their romance </b>is slow but lovely, passionate and tragic. They have to go through some serious shit and it's just gets worse by the big showdown at the end. Their love, their loyalty is restlessly tested, especially Feyre's. But against all odds, they work perfectly as a couple, which isn't really a wonder with two fantastic characters like them. This is actually a big relief since Sarah built the whole story on this, so it would have been a serious disappointment if I didn't like the romance (*cough* Cealena & Chaol *cough*).<br />
<br />
<br />
While ACOTAR is really favors the romance lovers, <b>it certainly not lacking in action, fantasy elements and adventure</b>. I hope you have a strong stomach because it has some amazingly disgusting scenes too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4e/f6/48/4ef6486ffe5ed04128e97a2e0d773a76.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4e/f6/48/4ef6486ffe5ed04128e97a2e0d773a76.jpg" width="141" /></a>There is a good amount of <b>side characters</b>, it's really a wonder (and good writing) that I remember them all, actually. They all serve the plot, so they're kinda memorable for various reasons. Of course I have my own dead pool/hit list with some of them on it. You know, the usual jerks and evil as fuck characters. However, besides Feyre and Tamlin, there is still a few character I fell in love with. The two most memorable are Lucien And Rhysand. <b>Lucien</b> is Tam's best friend and right hand. Now, I have yet to find a character named Lucien who I don't like (challenge accepted!), but this one truly earned all the manifestation of my fanaticism. Lucien is hilariously playful, sarcastic, loyal beyond loyal and he too had a rough past. He was my source of humor most of the time.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgcqWqr_VyvLsfNQu0E9mXP7PI2ogWgj75gEpy2Gx47S92Wt9uQgvwuOLv3om5ZjQCSm10F7bhJaOQKMnC3X_CmtBRIo0QrbAJemNrukqjxcPn7kgjEQmvXKZ4MBdmPId0a2gjN_rfemn5pOdfWICCKFhL0wiZsTtyQeHFypN9MhyX_owMPZ4pAydeDcuTmxgClwiYYC88=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/324/3/9/aurvandil_by_kazuo_sama-d871p2q.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>So when I thought that's it, surely no one can top Lucien AND Tamlin, this mysterious, dark, extremely dangerous and powerful douchebag, but still sinfully HOT Fae, a.k.a <b>Rhysand</b> steps into the the story and I was lost and hopeless. Surely, you can see why. Probably a lot of you won't like him, but even Sarah has a big love for him. Because he's not white or black, he's more like a grey character. A bad good-guy. He's very complex and has his own agenda, but is a key character in the story. He also provide a fair amount of humor, so in one word: PERFECTION! (Told you I'm hopeless.) Can't wait to get to know more about him and his court (Night) in Book #2. I'm secretly shipping him and Feyre, even though I love Feyre and Tamlin together, but both pairing has an insane amount of chemistry, I don't know what I'm going to do if this is going to turn out to be a love triangle.<br />
<br />
The <b>villain</b> of the book reminded me of Artemisia from 300: Rise of an Empire. They're both sadistic, bloodthirsty cruel bitches. The difference is that Artemisia is more badass in fight. ACOTAR's evil was a bit let down for me at the end. But she was still a great enemy, all in all.<br />

<br />
The ending - even though the book's story is sort of wrapped up - is a cliffhanger, of course which already spawned a few fan theories and I'm afraid I might die before we finally learn what the hell is it about that famous scene at the end. It's obvious the series's story is far from over, and even the romance will take some turns in the upcoming books, I guess.<br />
<br />
<b>Favorite character(s): </b>Rhysand, Lucien, Tamlin, Feyre<br />
<b>Favorite scene(s):</b> The challenges at the end. Really exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall:</b> While ACOTAR is a superb start of a new series, and would still be outstanding as a stand-alone novel, it's fair to say that we only saw the tip of the iceberg. Leaving me madly excited and impatient for the next book. TEAM RHYS!<br />

One of my absolute favorite series, namely <b>Gracen Miller's Road To Hell series</b> is just recently got a full revamp, I mean re-wrap. Meaning the first three books (<i>Pandora's Box, Hell's Phoenix</i> and <i>Genesis Queen</i>) got new covers.<br />
<br />
But now we're here to announce the BEST news for the fans of RTH. There is a FOURTH book titled <i><b>Royal Parnerships</b></i> coming out soon and today we brought you the official cover design! I told you it's the best news you could get today. Gracen also has a fancy <b>trailer for RP</b>, You can check it out below.<br />
<br />

<b>It’s good to be the Queen…</b><br />
<br />
Having ascended the throne of Hell, Madison Wescott is finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Though she has embraced her demonic nature, she has ensured the safety of everyone she loves. With both Micah and Nix at her side, she wields more power than she could have ever imagined.<br />
<br />
<b>But not even the throne is safe when you rule in Hell.</b><br />
<br />
In the wake of a failed assassination attempt, Madison learns about a realm of the damned older than Hell itself. A fierce and powerful incubus vows to escape his imprisonment there — and his efforts are weakening the bonds that hold him and countless other monsters at bay. With no plan and nowhere else to turn, Madison contacts an unlikely source for help. But whose side is he really on? Will he help preserve her reign, or bring about Hell’s downfall?<br />
<br />
Choose your partnerships carefully…<br />
<br />
<b>Amid the rubble of defeat will Hell’s Genesis Queen dawn?</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Collecting and torturing a soul is dangerous business, my sister,” Zen said.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“So was becoming Queen of Hell. What’s problematic about going with the flow?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">More of the same unblinking stare from him. “If you go rogue, Madison…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison slammed against the window-wall behind her. Despite the pane’s solidness, she felt it shimmy when it received the brunt of her weight. Recognizing Zen’s new demonstration of power, she elevated her eyebrows at him. With a smirk, she rubbed her back against the glass. She palmed her dragon blade as she flung a ninja star. He leaned to the side, dodging the star with ease. Of course she missed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“You can’t kill me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Only his creator could take him down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison palmed her other dagger and eased away from the window. “Is this <i>you</i> coming for me, Zen?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">His one-shoulder shrug sufficed as an answer. The pounding on the door, followed by Nix and Micah’s yelling further answered her question. Zen had magically locked them out. That’d been why she saw his power flare for a brief second during their conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">She went for him. He blocked each jab and slash. Every kick and punch. She eyed him as they circled one another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia;">He toys with us</span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia;">, her demon remarked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Of course he does, that was Zen’s way when they sparred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Have I not taught you anything?” He smacked her across the cheek in a whip-like move she hadn’t seen coming. It wasn’t hard enough to hurt, but the blow stung all the same. “You tire yourself knowing I’m the superior fighter. It’s like you sacrifice yourself to me. Too easy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">They went at it again. She tripped over a rug, stumbled backward, and came up dead-footed with her spine against the windowpanes. He moved into her space. Eye-to-eye they stared at one another, her panting the only racket in the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“So this is how it all ends?” she asked as he elevated a hand and braced it against the glass next to her head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“Maybe...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">The door practically throbbed from all the kicking, pounding, and magic thrown at it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“You’re scaring my men.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">“They should be terrified.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Madison settled her hand on his arm. “I trust you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="indent: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">She chugged his magic harder than she ever had anyone’s, and screamed as pain slashed through her head.

Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. When not writing, she’s a full-time basketball/lacrosse/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an unusual relationship with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success to his brilliant mind. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She’s convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending coffee and writing together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. Gracen writes is multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and contemporary romance.

<br />
One of my all time favorites is Gracen Miller's Road To Hell series. It's dark, thrilling, sexy as hell (HA!) and totally paranormal. There are angels (and fallen angels), various kinds of demons, freaking dragons and who knows what else in this series!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And the lead? Madison Wescott is a kick-ass mother, wife, friend and lover. And an enemy you really don't want for yourself if you have any common sense. The men of RTH are hot, dark, funny, vicious and extremely dangerous. I'm a little biased here but I'm going to say that the hottest men are the "villains", If you love bad boys, and I mean really B-A-D boys, you're going to melt! ALL the supporting characters make their way into your heart, whether you want it or not, it's impossible not to care about them eventually in the long run. Some bad-ass, some smart, fierce or cute. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This series is really not for the squeamish as it's full of mystery, deceit, suspense, torture, wicked sex, and blood. Also there is some religious stuff, I mean it's about angels and demons and such.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, did I mention how fucking AMAZING this series is??? I know, I know, it's not from a big publisher, yada yada yada, but trust me - for once - when I tell you it would be a HIT and any big gun would be lucky if they'd publish it. Soooooo let's get to the good stuff!<br />

Nix and Micah. Shocked and hurt to discover Nix has become a willing
participant of Hell, she’s more certain than ever she won’t escape the demonic
fate her husband outlined for her. While in Hell, she discovers denying the
emergence of her succubus is futile, which means getting Nix out of Hell after
embracing her inner demon just became a very real dilemma…</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You’ll heal her

back into his human persona, as he offered his legs as a pillow for her head.

<!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as
a “normal” person in southern society. When not writing, she’s a full-time
basketball/lacrosse/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her
real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an unusual relationship
with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success to his brilliant mind.
She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama
football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She’s
convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending coffee and writing
together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds
are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. Gracen writes is
multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and
contemporary
romance. To learn more about Gracen or to leave her a comment, visit her
website at <a href="http://www.gracen-miller.com/">www.gracen-
miller.com</a>.<!--EndFragment--> </span></div>

One of my absolute favorite series, namely <b>Gracen Miller's Road To Hell series</b> is getting a full revamp, I mean re-wrap. Meaning the three books out so far (<i>Pandora's Box, Hell's Phoenix</i> and <i>Genesis Queen</i>) are getting new covers!<br />
<br />
Readers have been able to buy <a href="http://amzn.com/B00M8N17WC" target="_blank">Pandora's Box</a> in her new dress for a while now, and now it's time for you guys to see Hell's Phoenix 2.0!<br />

<br />
<div>
Going to Hell was supposed to save Madison, but knowing she’s dead because of his failure leaves Nix with only one thing to live for. Revenge. With Micah’s help he learns to use his Messianic power. Anything for Mads has become his mantra, even if it means killing innocents to gather the power he needs to succeed. A tsunami he unleashes on a Gulf Coast city is stopped with magical interference, and Nix is more than surprised to feel Madison in the opposing magic. Can he and Micah set a trap to lure her out?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Pandora’s Box...once you open it, there's no turning back!</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Madison has done the unthinkable, opened Pandora’s Box to save Nix from Hell. And failed. She’s willing to risk her own life to rescue Nix, but she worries about the welfare of her accomplice in the mission and leaving her son behind. Following up on a lead, she’s ambushed by Nix and Micah. Shocked and hurt to discover Nix has become a willing participant of Hell, she’s more certain than ever she won’t escape the demonic fate her husband outlined for her. While in Hell, she discovers denying the emergence of her succubus is futile, which means getting Nix out of Hell after embracing her inner demon just became a very real dilemma…</div>

Gracen is a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. When not writing, she’s a full-time basketball/lacrosse/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband of over twenty years. She has an unusual relationship with her muse, Dom, but credits all her creative success to his brilliant mind. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football, and coffee...addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She’s convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and when blending coffee and writing together it generates the perfect creative merger. Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. Gracen writes is multiple genres—paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and contemporary romance.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
An elf prince on the verge of losing himself to the darkness, Vail is maddened by the forty-two centuries he was under the control of a witch and forced to war with his brother. Now, he roams Hell seeking an escape from his terrible past and the heads of all who bear magic. When demons of the Fifth Realm capture him, he sees a chance to end his existence, but when he wakes in a cell to a beautiful female, he finds not death but his only shot at salvation—his true fated mate.<br />
<br />
Captured by the enemy of the Third Realm when the war ended, Rosalind has spent months in the cells of the Fifth Realm with her magic bound, forced to heal the new king’s demon warriors, and haunted by the lives she has taken. When she’s brought to heal an unconscious man, she discovers her only hope of escape has come in the form of her worst nightmare and the first part of a prediction that might spell her doom—a devastatingly handsome and dangerous dark elf prince.<br />
<br />
Unwilling to fall under the control of anyone ever again, Vail must escape before the Fifth King can use him as a pawn in a deadly game of revenge, but he cannot leave without Rosalind, the woman who looks at him with dark desire in her stunning eyes and awakens a fierce hunger in his heart. A witch who drives him mad with need even as the darkness within whispers she will enslave him too.<br />
<br />
Can Rosalind escape her fate as they embark on a journey fraught with danger and resist the temptation of her rogue elf prince? And can Vail overcome the memories that madden him in order to seize his chance for salvation and the heart of his fated female forever?</blockquote>

<br />
<br />
I'll be honest again. Although I am a big fan of Richelle Mead, t<b>he first book of this series was a great disappointment to me.</b> I wasn't impressed at all, but one of the main characters, Mae, is such a good one I couldn't just let her go. <br />
<br />
<b>In Gameboard of the Gods </b>we got to know the characters, the world and we got a short, action-packed plot, a little taste of what we can expect from the series. <b>In The Immortal Crown things get further complicated</b>. The Gods chosen their “players” and ready to face them off. The “chosen ones” not only have to suit their gods’s book, but are forced to fight against each other. Justin and Mae are thrown into this rough and bloody battleground and they, of course, still have to comply with their daily life.<br />
<br />
<b>The plot is still running on three different threads</b> and, again, there are <b>three POVs</b> - Mae’s, Justin’s and Tessa’s. <br />
<br />
For me, <b>the most exciting part remains to be Mae.</b> Most of the surprising, weird and exciting things happen to her. She has to face as well as accept things she has completely rejected in the past and does not even notice she’s in the center of the very game she tried her best to stay away from. <br />
<br />
<b>Justin - finally - is on the good path to my heart and I’m starting to like him.</b> Of course he is still far away from being a favorite, but with Richelle stopping telling us - after every flippin’ 10th page - how INCREDIBLE he is, and rather lets HIM showing what he’s worth, lets US get to know him, I’m really starting to like this man. <b>Keep this on, Richelle!</b> He has some very good moments. I love the way he cares for Tessa, his constant arguing with his two ravens an how he’s torn between his desires and common sense.<br />
<br />
However, <b>my NEW FAVORITE is LUCIAN!</b> He is so hard to figure out. Is he doing what he’s doing because he really believes in it or does he just playing along with the political frays? Either way, he’s pretty persuasive and completely swept me off my feet, that’s for sure!<br />
<br />
In my review of GotG <b>I said that Tessa’s POV somehow sticks out of the book, like a 'must have' YA thread the author trying to push into the novel </b>to endear the series to the younger readers who otherwise would consider this series “too adult-y”. <b>I WAS WRONG!</b> I admit it. I should have known Richelle does everything for a reason. I can see that reason now. Both Tessa and her story is much more interesting now, and I have some clue on why is it so important this little adopted girl to have her own plot. <br />
<br />
<b>And of course there are the Gods.</b> We shouldn't forget about them. Although they are working in the background for the time being, but wow! Compared to them everyone else is significantly underpowered. Even Justin, the genius or the cold, professional Mae. I'm very, very curious to see what's in store for them in the upcoming books because what was shown in The Immortal Crown… HOLY COW! It got me so freaking excited (especially the last lines) and I want to know more! I have so, SO many questions about them, either give me the next books or let me chat with Richelle a bit, because I NEED answers! I understand they’re fighting each other from the very beginning of time, but why involve humans? What do they want?<br />
<br />
<b>The missing romance from the first book slowly begins to make an appearance.</b> I'm starting to feel the chemistry between the two main characters and while I would be happy with a Lucian + Mae pairing, I can see something between Justin and Mae now, too. Of course, we just can’t get enough of the misconceptions and unspoken secrets - seriously, is there even a series where the protagonists are able to sit down and talk to each other?? Yeah, yeah, I get it, there wouldn't be any complication then -, we can see the same thing here. Only if they’d share the important stuff with each other from the beginning, they’d be much further ahead now… <br />
<br />
<b>Favorite character(s): </b>Mae<br />
<b>Favorite scene(s):</b> Everything with THE GODS! They're incredible!<br />
<br />
<b>Overall:</b> The Immortal Crown compensated for the bumpy start of the series. Finally I can see a true Richelle Mead book I always love. It’s exciting, sometimes shocking and that ending! I can literally feel a lot of people falling in love with the series right at the end of TIC. Without giving away too much here’s a hint: there’s a new character introduced at the end whom many of us adore. <br />

Betrayed by one of her own and turned into a vampire, hunter Eve is consumed by her hunger for vengeance and has spent five years surviving hell, driven to take the life of the man she once loved. But just as she is about to close in on the hunter-turned-vampire, an event is set in motion that threatens to see him slip beyond her grasp forever—the leader of her bloodline has sent an escort to bring her to the family’s mansion. To a nest of the very creatures she once hunted and loathes.<br />
<br />
A vampire assassin hardened by centuries of service, Tor is a man of discipline and loyalty, never straying from his mission or the rules set out for him, and has purged all his weaknesses, including his emotions.<br />
<br />
But the moment he meets the broken, fiery female he is to escort to Oslo, something dangerous awakens in him, something possessive and powerful, and when he is pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the man who betrayed her, Tor discovers he will do anything to protect the woman slowly claiming his heart and give her the vengeance she desires—even break all the rules.<br />
<br />
Can Eve embrace her new vampire nature in order to have her revenge and find a reason to live again in Tor? Can Tor and Eve stop the man who betrayed her and the deaths of thousands of innocents? Or will he succeed in creating a new army of hybrid vampires who will rise up against the purebloods?<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally! We've return to this series!! Now, I love all of Felicity's series, even if there are books in them that I don't really like. My two favorites, though are Her Angel and VR. Because both are a <b>PERFECT blend of Paranormal Romance AND Urban Fantasy. Plenty of romance, action, mystery, tension, adventure and solid character and world developments. </b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although <i style="font-weight: bold;">Hunger can be read out of order with the rest of the series, </i>I suggest you to start with at least Masquarade (book #7). I think it gives more information about this world, than Hunger does. Sadly we didn't see much about the fantastic world building and its rules in this book. But seriously, just read all! Worth it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Eve was a badass hunter. She hated and hunted vampires, had a great partner, but her last mission was fatal. At least that is what she thinks.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/TimeForce/underworld_m480hhh.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/TimeForce/underworld_m480hhh.gif" height="181" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She's been betrayed, killed then came back to her personal hell. She became the very thing she hated. Only one thing keeps her going: revenge. Once she avanged herself, she's done with this world. Her sister and father (both vampires) are trying to make her see that being a vampire is not a bad thing, but all she sees in herself is a monster. Refuses to feed, to live with her clan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maw63eMkDY1rhodgho1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maw63eMkDY1rhodgho1_500.gif" height="166" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love when the main characters think of themselves as bad/monster/anti-hero, especially when they were forced to become what they hated. If the character development is well done, it's always interesting to join them on a journey toward self-acceptance. Of course they can't do it alone, and usually a stranger can do what family and friends can't. Eve is not different. She's supposed to go live with her sister and her clan. There are only two problems with that. One, she wouldn't have a chance for revenge and two, living among vampires, especially as a royalty? That's just too much for her. So when her guard, Tor, sent by her sister agrees to give her what she wants, she's determined than ever. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tor is a vampire hunter vampire (I know, just let it sink in). He is cold, silent, lethal and takes his job very seriously. Meaning HOT! But he just can't resist Eve. He feels the need to protect her, mostly from herself and give her her revenge so she could move on. Their attraction was immediate, but their bonding was slow and steady. That's the thing about the relationships in the VR series. They're NEVER rushed. It takes time, game changing events for the characters to fall in love. And they earn each other's trust, it's never just a simple attraction. The characters don't change, they're staying true to themselves to the end, they're just learning. Same with Eve and Tor. Both learned how to trust and how to deal with their fears and learned to find a real reason to live.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://p.gr-assets.com/540x540/fit/hostedimages/1380376916/732058.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://p.gr-assets.com/540x540/fit/hostedimages/1380376916/732058.gif" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, besides the personal issues and their love life, there is a serious subplot going on. Which I think could have got a bigger part. Wouldn't have mind if the book would have been longer, I wanted a little bit more focus on the issue. I mean they have to stop the weaklings (mixed bloodline) from gathering a hybrid army that could destroy the purebloods, and sometimes the book just completely ignores it. BUT it was a great conflict when it got a bit more focus. Besides this my only wish would have been to see Eve in more action. She fought great at the beginning, and a little in the middle, but that's it. She was a hunter, she should have been more active after she gained strength. But props for verbally beating the shit out of the egoist vampires! You go girl! Also great call to bring in some Law Keepers! I love to hate them, but I absolutely adored these guys! Half star just for them! I know there was one or two things that didn't really make sense to me at the time I was reading, but I can't really remember, so I guess nothing major there. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">My verdict</span> is that Hunger is a great addition to the series, not the best book so far, but I enjoyed it, really liked the characters. It has interesting plots, fantastic character development and an inspiring romance. Quick and enjoyable read, so hell yeah I can recommend it! </span></b><br />

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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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?<br />

Now careful diaries, you may worship him, but only from a great distance for he is already taken! (Of course taken by ME... Anna is the past.). </div>

<b>#2 Adventures!</b> A lot more going on than in the previous book. For example, we see places to where one would never go willingly, except if one has a serious masochism issue. More than once Anna and her minions find themselves in life-threatening positions.</div>

There is everything like in a carnival (we have that too); stories of various tragic past, a hopeful prophecy (though we already knew about this at the end of the first book but hey, at least we got confirmation, and it wa a good opportunity to bring in a ghostly messenger from Anna's past.) and we get a couple of juicy information about some of the nephilim.</div>

<b>#5 Kopano. </b>This time He has more part, than in Sweet Evil, and turns out he's a lot more interesting than I first thought. The guy is the übersilent type but has a charisma that never lets us forget he is there even if he doesn't speak a word. He would be a worthy opponent to Kaidan in the battle for Anna's heart, if he had a real chance. Sweet, sexy, dangerous in his own way, and St. blender, Batman! He's a mix of the two best raw materials! I am convinced, so he's mine too!</div>

Well, they do not disappoint. Wherever they appear, there's bloodshed. Luckly our little rebels don't run into them at every step on the way, otherwise this would be a really short rebellion. However, we all can agree on one thing: They're a damn good conflict in the series. The readers - at least the heartless ones like myself - might even find themselves wishing for more scenes with the douche Dukes, nephilims be damned...</div>

Two new Nephilims are joining to Anna's little uprising. In addition, both are warrior types.

<b>#9 Anna. </b>Her character has changed a lot since the last time we saw her and although she still has not reached the point where she joins my favorite female characters (still too much drama to that), but she's on the right path. She's ballsier and managed to grew a backbone. She can now kick some serious arse and could join a circus as a knife thrower. If only she would shave off a bit of her cooking obsession. Although at least I've got some good ideas for my weekend lunch.</div>

I mean with Sweet Peril we can honestly say that we get a pretty fair transition between the first (set up) and third (showdown) volumes in the series. It's not perfect, or extremely good, but easily beats the second books of most of the trilogies in this genre. It is a fast and easy read and slowly devoured me, Kaidan or not. Those who do not eagerly looking forward to the third book should be all named Pinocchio! 'Cuz they're obviously liars!</div>

It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.<br />
<br />
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.<br />
<br />
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.<br />

<br />
Another YA book in my repertoire. I never really liked witch books, because the authors never like to put a twist on the usual, known-by everyone facts about witches. Same powers, same problems, same world building. Witch stories (at least the YA and/or Adult Fantasy novels) supposed to be fun in a basic level but I never really enjoyed reading about them. But that's where Hex hall really delivers. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>It's not just about witches.</b> There’s a secret school, hidden away from mundanes called Xavier’s School… <br />
okay, not really, but there’s an unmistakable resemblance. However, this place is called the Hacate Hall. It’s kind of a boarding school for shifter, fairy, witch and occasionally vampire kids called “prodigium”. Hex Hall introduces us to an outcast, hilarious vampire girl, some ego-b*tch witches and fairies, just-a-bit-more-aggro-than-wanted puppies... I mean werewolves, and even Caspers. Thus 'Hex Hall' automatically transports us into Fun Realm. Add a few piece of humor bonbon, a gallon of mystery, a big chunk of evil and you got yourself a perfect witch book. <br />
<br />
<b>There's an ingredient that makes a witch story even more interesting: DEMONS.</b> Yes, those evil to the core bastards have a pretty important role in the series. <b>However, they're not the only extremely hostile entities.</b> And this is where ‘Hex Hall’ started to remind me of Cremer's Nightshade series. The Prodigium has a Council and there are several groups in war with the supernatural and with each other, but there’s a particular not-so-secret organization hellbent on permanently wipe out every supernatural creature or “monster” as they like to call them, off Earth. They called L’Occhio di Dio. Eye of God. They are the most dangerous enemy. Reminded me a bit of Templars, actually. We don't really get more of them besides their basic history with the supernaturals, but something tells me there's more to their ongoing never ending war than we know. Talk about serious conspiracy theories. <br />
<br />
<b>But of course it's a YA, so let's spice our perfection with a pinch of a totally expected-but-passionate romance with the bad boy on duty</b> (named Archer. Had to put it out there, I love this name!) from every other YA book you've read before (a jerk, who's actually just pretending to be a jerk, and has a vulnerable heart and a full, perfect six pack...or something totally else - though the six pack IS requirement - underneath his shirt.). Okay, there's a GREAT mystery floating around him, in kind of a 'too good to be true' way and really, nothing is sure where he's concerned. Nothing special but a good character (and expected, but great twist) nonetheless. Oh and I see a love triangle. All the time. They're everywhere! And again.. I like the other guy, Cal the warlock (even better name than Archer!!) more.<br />
<br />
<b>Now that we discussed everything major in the book, let’s talk about the main character; Sophie.</b> Honestly, I don’t know what to do with her character. She’s equally the con AND the pro of the book. Her sarcasm is greatly appreciated. Not many YA heroines has such witty humor like hers. However, on the other hand, she’s a contrary person. The good part is that she’s not a saint, and doesn't see rainbows and unicorns in every corner. Doesn’t see the good in everybody. The bad part is that she hates mean people, but still believes them instead of her friend, just because the poor thing is a vampire, a monster. Okay, I’ll say it. She’s a racist! You don’t trust easily? Awesome, you’re precautious that means you’re smart and probably will live a long life. But don’t turn into a b*tch witch all of a sudden for no reason! Besides this, she’s good, but not awesome. Neither is she annoying (most times), so I guess that makes her an overall pro. <br />
<br />
<b>Hex Hall has a similar structure to Vampire Academy. (I know, I really should stop with the comparisons!) It’s a set-up novel. kind of like a prequel before the big important staff. </b>It sets up the world and its rules, the overall story line of the series and introduces half of the major characters and one side. And LOTS of high school drama. Obviously Ending with a big cliffhanger that makes sure to let us know that we haven’t seen ANYTHING yet. <br />
<br />
<b>To wrap this novel sized review up, we can say that ‘Hex Hall’ is the perfect blend of magic, refreshing humor, passion and great twists. Add a great amount of mystery, several fantasy creatures, a dangerous and lethal enemy and BANG. You got yourself the pattern of a perfect YA series. THAT is Hex Hall. </b><br />

Okay, so in my first post I'm going to go with a quote from my newest book boyfriend, even though the series gives me more headache than pleasure, this guy is so worth it!<br />
<br />
Should I give you clues? Okay... he's dangerous, dark and unearthly sexy. Like literally, since he's not human. Actually he's the son of Satan. Yup, THE Satan. Can you guess now? No? Okay, I'll help...<br />

Amazingly a YA book. Who would have thought, really? As much as it pains me not to say <i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Up From the Grave, </b></i>I have to admit, Cole's world building blew me away. Okay, the brilliant narrators of the audiobook definitely pumped it up too, but I love this world, the characters, the fight 'till the death scenario and the whole Tarot thing. I'm already started book two! Sorry, Bones!! You know I love you guys!</div>

Evie finally became badass -which is freaking exciting for me. For her "boyfriend"? Apparently not so much. Although I don't really understand why is he so freaked out after everything they've seen... Okay, maybe a boy ripped in two behind Evie is a bit disturbing, but c'mon, she finally learned how to protect herself!

The fiery, dangerous female awakened hungers he had never experienced before, a dark craving and passion that has consumed him in their time apart.

Her eagerness to lead the deadly mission has everything to do with winning her promotion, and nothing to do with the kingdom’s brash, lethally seductive demon king—a king who stirred fierce desire and wildfire heat in her with just a look and an innocent touch when they first met, and has been in her wicked dreams ever since.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As the gathering storm between rivals unleashes irresistible passion that flares white-hot and the heat of the battle brings life-shattering realisations, can Sable place her duty before her heart?

Although it's recommended that you read Kissed by a Dark Prince (EM #1) before Claimed by a Demon King, I - however - had not (shame on me!). Yes, sometimes I felt confused/curious - which was completely my own fault - when the characters mentioned some early events happened in the previous book, but I didn't feel that my lack of reading 'Kissed by a Dark Prince' impacted my reading and enjoyment of 'Claimed by a Demon King' (other than I wanted to know more about Loren and Vail, so I'm going to read the first book ASAP). </div>

Felicity's PNR books and me have a constant war, so to speak. Some of them really amazed me and became my favorites, some of them just didn't do it for Me. I always bitching about the lack of action, even though I know it's PNR not an UF (can't help it, sorry!!) and I kind of just jumped into the middle of this new series, not knowing exactly what to expect this time. I WAS IMMEDIATELY SUCKED IN! Truth to be told, It still has more lovemaking than fighting, but I really enjoyed it. </div>

I don't know what I loved most: the characters/their relationships or the world building. Granted, I rolled my eyes at <b>the heroine, Sable</b> sometimes (she was a bit whiny), but she was okay most of the time. In fight? She is Badass! </div>

He's possessive as hell - duh! -, but when he figures out he can't win the lady by acting as a caveman, his attempts to learn/understand human behavior, emotions and customs are sweet and usually really funny. He has more humanity than the other demons/creatures. </div>

Nope, here comes a love triangle! Well, sort of. Add Legolas err. I mean <b>Bleu - a HOT elf warrior</b> to that pile of hot mess and you got yourself a crazy entertaining ménage à trois. Okay, not really, these men are too stubborn and possessive to share anything, and Sable wants only Thorne. Which always leads to bloodshed. But they're sweet when trying to outdo the other. </div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Besides these three, we have a quite powerful line of side characters. Readers can meet Loren, Olivia and Vail again. An entire werewolf pack, and a vampire clan with a jackass, but fun leader, some human warriors, witches - good and evil -, even dragon shifters. Plus we meet some of the VET crew (Snow <3). I loved how all these different creatures got together to stop the big bad wolf -err Demon King. I loved their interactions, even their fights. We lose some of them along the way, and it hurts! So there is love, hate, friendship, alliance, betrayal, mystery and death. <b>The world building is absolutely phenomenal!! </b>The different realms, different races with their own unique features and abilities and hierarchy. Again I was mind-blown by Felicity's ability to describe so vividly and powerfully everything. Of course my favorite parts were the two fight scenes (including the childish fights between Thorne and Bleu :)), but I instantly felt the chemistry between the characters, so the romance was great, too. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<b>Overall</b> I think, this must be one of Felicity's best PNR books to date. There are a bunch of cliches, but honestly? I don't give a rat's ass about cliches. I enjoyed it, even loved it and it definitely become my favorite. The next book is gonna be Vail's, Loren's brother and I'm pretty sure he's gonna get into trouble with a certain witch. It should be fun!</div>

The demon waiting with the tub scowled at her and then something flickered in his dark red eyes and he straightened and bowed his head. She grimaced when she recognised him as one of the demons from the courtyard. Just great. She got to have her tub delivered by someone who had witnessed the whole debacle with his king.</span></div>

He grunted something under his breath and heaved the tub forwards, picked it up with one hand on the rim, walked to the fireplace off to her left and set it down. She hadn’t meant to challenge his strength but he had clearly taken her pet term and words as just that. Maybe he wasn’t good with English.</span></div>

Starting over sucks.
<br />
<div>
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.</div>
<div>
<br />
And then he opened his mouth.</div>
<div>
<br />
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. </div>
<div>
<br />
The hot alien living next door marks me.</div>
<div>
<br />
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. </div>
<div>
<br />
If I don't kill him first, that is.</div>

<br />
Unbelievable, but true nonetheless. I never thought I 'd ever read this book - I failed at my first attempt months ago - and I especially never thought that by the end, I'm gonna actually enjoy it. A book challenge made me pick it up again, and I'm glad I did.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There were parts kinda slow and boring to me, I actually skipped a few, but overall, it did kept me entertained. Yes it is <b>predictable, and a bit cliché, but it's a fun book</b>. Fortunately, from the second half things got so speed up, I actually sat up in my chair.</div>
<div>
<b>I liked the story and loved the world building</b>, and I can wait to see more in the next books. <b>Enjoyed the unfolding of the romance</b>, it wasn't rush, wasn't cheesy either. It was however, exciting, entertaining and sometimes frustrating. I really enjoyed the snarky bantering between Kat and Daemon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Surprisingly, <b>Kat didn't make me want to slap her</b> - most of the time, anyway - and even made me laugh out loud a few times. She stood up more for herself, than I expected. Never backed down from Daemon or anyone else, and she did not cry whenever someone hurt her feelings. Definitely earned some bonus points with me. And she's not a scared little girl, she's brave. A bit slow on catching up on things, though. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>About Daemon...</b> Now I'm not saying He would not have deserved a kick in the balls, I would've hit him a few times, but his cold-warm behavior was fun (and somehow reasonable and understandable). And damn, HE IS FUNNY! An entertaining jackass. I got to like him. As Katy says <i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">“Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. </span></i><i style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">It was the holy trinity of hot boys.” </span></i>This pretty much sums Daemon up.. at least most of the time. He can be sweet, of course.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the <b>side characters</b>, however, I can't do anything. I didn't really care about Dee, even though she's a nice girl, great friend, but I just did not see much sense in her character in addition to being a bridge between the two main characters. The other members of the Luxen group also did not create any lasting value. They were pretty average, cliched characters in my opinion.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Jennifer's style is light and fun</b>, so it did not take me long to finish Obsidian. 100 % that I will continue the series, although, for now I would not say it's a favorite, but it sparked my interest.</div>

<b><span style="color: #666666;">Favorite scene(s):</span></b> Final battle scene, And pretty much almost every scene with Daemon and Katy.<br />

<b>There’s always one more grave to dig.</b><br />
<br />
Lately, life has been unnaturally calm for vampires Cat Crawfield and her husband Bones. They should have known better than to relax their guard, because a shocking revelation sends them back into action to stop an all-out war…<br />
<br />
A rogue CIA agent is involved in horrifying secret activities that threaten to raise tensions between humans and the undead to dangerous heights. Now Cat and Bones are in a race against time to save their friends from a fate worse than death…because the more secrets they unravel, the deadlier the consequences. And if they fail, their lives—and those of everyone they hold dear— will be hovering on the edge of the grave.

<div>
I <i>really</i> hope that Frost also provides at least a couple of short stories later on because I was not willing to let go of this crew before, but now I<i> really</i> am not ready to let them go!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Up from the Grave was better than I expected, although sometimes I was a bit bored, but when the story revved up, despite the fact that many of the dramatic scenes was pretty predictable, and Cat (still) was a bit slow-minded, I really enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
<b>I loved that the whole team came together</b> (although Vlad 's absence is inexcusable! I understand that he has a book, but dang, he's Cat 's Best Friend .... sort of). Sometimes it reminded me of Resident Evil, Underworld or Twilight (not to be afraid, this book does not contain sparkly creatures), but despite all these similarities I liked every solution/twist.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>I approve of the big bad enemy.</b> It was great and unexpected (to me anyway). And I like that it wasn't just one human SOB. The conflict was great as it's - although we have not seen it before - arcs over the whole series. There was <b>less humor</b> than used to be, but it was enough for this kind of story. Same with the hot romantic scenes, <b>less romance and more adventure</b> (in "hell"). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>Is Up From The Grave a worthy ending for the series?</b> Halfway through the book I would have said no. In the end I say <b>HELL YEAH!</b> Of course it could have been better overall, but at the end, I felt that we're finally home and dry. I felt that spark of peace Cat wanted so badly. Neither was it rushed nor dragged out.<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Any open door remained?</b> Yes. Not one either, therefore I would like a short story despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of short stories. I want to see what happens next with the small group, even if nothing exciting. <b>No cliffhanger</b>, <b>more like an open thread for everyone to imagine themselves how our favorite vampires live off their hopefully long life.</b><br />
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Certainly I am looking forward to Ian 's book <strike>and I also have an idea of who's going to be his heroine - Cat is not going to like it , if it's confirmed ;)</strike> (I am not sure about this idea after the hangout chat with Jeaniene but it sure would be an amazing book/series)<br />
<br />
And now a minute of silence in memory of the best series of my life! :(
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">Favorite scene(s):</span></b> Either the "infiltrate" scene or the last battle scene with the follow up scenes.<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">Favorite character(s): </span></b>EVERYONE!! Okay not everyone, but all of the good guys.<br />
<b><span style="color: #666666;">Favorite quote(s):</span></b><br />
<blockquote>
"I would never hurt you that way save for one reason: to keep you safe. I can live with your anger, your retribution...bloody hell, despise me if you must, but don't expect me to behave as though you aren't the most important thing in my life. You are, and I will let no one, yourself included, bring you to harm.”</blockquote>
<blockquote>
“The day you love anyone but yourself is the day I’ll take your marital advice, Ian,” Bones bit back in an icy tone.<br />
“Then today is that day,” Ian replied sharply, “for I love you, you wretched, pig-headed guttersnipe. I also love that arrogant, overprivileged dandy smirking at us”—a wave indicted Spade, whose aforementioned smirk vanished—“as well as the emotionally fractured, malfunctioning psychic who sired me. And you, Crispin, love a bloodthirsty hellion who’s probably killed more people in her thirty years than I have in over two centuries of living, so again I say, don’t bother trying to convince her that she isn’t who she is.”</blockquote>

<br />
Living with her alcoholic deadbeat dad in the swamps of southern Louisiana, she's a high school dropout with a pill habit and a criminal record who's been fired from more crap jobs than she can count. Now on probation for a felony, it seems that Angel will never pull herself out of the downward spiral her life has taken.<br />
<br />
That is, until the day she wakes up in the ER after overdosing on painkillers. Angel remembers being in an horrible car crash, but she doesn't have a mark on her. To add to the weirdness, she receives an anonymous letter telling her there's a job waiting for her at the parish morgue—and that it's an offer she doesn't dare refuse.<br />
<br />
Before she knows it she's dealing with a huge crush on a certain hunky deputy and a brand new addiction: an overpowering craving for brains. Plus, her morgue is filling up with the victims of a serial killer who decapitates his prey—just when she's hungriest!<br />
<br />
Angel's going to have to grow up fast if she wants to keep this job and stay in one piece. Because if she doesn't, she's dead meat.<br />

I am not a big zombie fiction fan. In fact this was my first book about zombies. I'm not going to lie, the cover got me first. The covers for this series are just fucking mind blowing. <a href="http://www.dandossantos.com/" target="_blank">Dan dos Santos</a> is a brilliant artist, and I think even if they’re not represent Angel 100%, they totally fit for the books' tone. <br />
<br />
<b>Everything you have to know about the basic story is in the blurb.</b> <b>This is not a zombie horror</b>. It's just <b>like the usual good Urban Fantasy</b> with vampires, only this time instead of the bloodsuckers, we get to meet the brain eaters. And even though it’s not horror, <b>it's definitely not for the weakest stomach</b>. There are gross crime scenes, autopsies and, of course many many brain chewing. Yummy! Eve though I said it's like the UF with vampires, <b>it's something fresh</b> - that is if the characters keep eating brains, anyway. It was<b> interesting and kind of morbidly funny</b> sometimes to see how these zombies function. It was nothing like Resident Evil or anything like that. These zombies blended in the way vampires do and try to live - sort of - a relatively normal life, at least, most of them. The story starts with a mystery which gets even bigger and more complicated as the story goes on, ending with a huge twist at the end of the book. I totally did not see that coming. For the most part it's a bit slow, not much happening other than we watch Angel cooping with her new "life". But she's a great character enough to keep me interested in her story. And the mysteries were nagging at me too. <br />
<br />
<b>Angel's greatness comes from many things.</b> First, there's her humor. She's not hysterically funny that makes you laugh at every page, but she has a good amount of sarcastic humor. Although she’s a bit slow putting the jigsaw pieces together sometimes, she’s undeniably clever too. Besides these, she’s an admirable strong character. Not necessarily kick-ass, although she does gets the hang of being a zombie – discovers the perks: superpower, super speed and super strength, all handy stuff – and saves the day. But her emotional strength and her willpower makes her a character anyone could relate to. She got a second chance and she’s not about to blow it. She grows as the story goes on and shows everyone, especially herself that she is not a loser and won’t let anyone tell differently or drag her down again. <br />
<br />
There are <b>plenty of side characters</b>. Some more important,than the others. I probably wanted to punch half of them in the face most of the time (kmh… Nick), but there are really likable ones too, such as Angel’s boss, Marcus the good cop, or Derrel. And then there are some I can’t decide I hate them or love them…right Kang? He’s a funny SOB. Also not everyone is what/who you’d think.<br />
<br />
As for <b>the romance... it's a really really little subplot.</b> I think it's going to get a bit bigger in the next book, but so far Angel's story is really an Urban Fantasy and not a paranormal romance. <br />
<br />
It’s not necessary, but I love books with an<b> important message.</b> ‘My life as a white trash zombie’ sends probably one of the most important one. No one born to be a loser or a trash. It's all about our own choices. Don’t let anyone else defy who you are and what you're capable of. Don’t let yourself to be dragged down, anyone who tries to is not on your side. All you have to do is think through and will it. Want it, believe it, do it and shit like that. You know like Yoda said..:<br />

I'm happy to say I'm back on tracks! Yes I was a bit busy and didn't really have time to write new posts, but I have read a BUNCH of books, so expect a lot of reviews coming in the next two months. And of course I'm bringing the weekly memes back, because they're super fun! </div>

Best Books of 2013</h2>
</div>
<div>
Dang, guys! I was about to write a Best of 2013 post last year, but honestly, I was too lazy, but here you go. My TOP 5.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
5. Archangel's Legion</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Nalini Singh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FINALLY RAPHAEL & ELENA!!! Though I had an itty bitty problem with this book, still devoured it in 2 days, and I'm still in love with this crew. Can't wait for more! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
4. Inferno</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Sherrilyn Kenyon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm in LOVE with the Chronicles of Nick series and its characters. This one was the best so far, and the audiobook was brilliant again. Review coming soon for all the books in the series ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
3. Magic Rises</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Ilona Andrews</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359571572l/11544421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359571572l/11544421.jpg" width="198" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HOLY SHIT, this series is awesome. I read all the books so far in like 3 days (the audiobooks are awesome too!) and Magis Rises, even though isn't my favorite, was still amaze-balls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h3>
2. Styxx</h3>
<div>
by Sherrilyn Kenyon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359269406l/15767586.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359269406l/15767586.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Okay. Since I can't name two books as the best of the best, Styxx gets to be my second favorite of the year, not far from the first. I had one tiny problem with this too, in the second half I expected a bigger battle to be honest, but OH.MY.GOD. Give the woman a medal! Styxx was fantastic on a brand new level!!! I'm still not calm enough to write a review.</div>

<div>
After the big disappointment what Rogue Rider was for me, I was expecting a huge comeback with Reaver. He had that kind of storyline that could easily live up - with one book - to the overall story of the series. Up to this point Lethal Rider was my absolute favorite because of the characters, even though Immortal Rider was the best when it comes to twists and adventure. <b>Reaver HAS the whole package. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>I love Harvester</b> because she's sassy, smart, kick-ass but also vulnerable, but still can be a bitch and a hero at the same time. I love these kind of characters who are not just plain white or black, good or evil. Yes I hated her in the first two books, like everyone else did, but she was also entertaining so I kinda liked her before, but boy. I just simply adore her now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>As for Reaver... </b>he's brilliant. It's amazing how loosing his memory and wings changed him. That was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. The old Reaver, the one who slept with Lillith was a jerk. But this new one, he's a true hero. He's selfish, kind and a total badass! And noone can resist his sarcastic humor.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>So why is this book so awesome?</b> First, because It has kind of a cat-mouse game vibe to it. The dynamics between Reaver and Harvester is fascinating. The energy bouncing around like a pin ball when these two converse, the way they challenge and still support each other is truly exceptional. Second, it's eventful. There's always something happening. For half of the book we're in Hell watching Harvester and Reaver fight their way to out of there. Plus thanks to the POV changes, sometimes we get a peek into others' heads, such as Satan or Revenant (the new evil watcher), or the Angels (those sons of bitches!). But the journey doesn't end when our two lovebirds are out of Satan's territory. Hell no. There are a bunch of complications and betrayals they have to face with before they can get their happy ending. If they ever get it. And the third reason.... the twists!! Holy missing relatives! They blew my expectations out of the water!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are so many emotions (love, hate, blind rage, sympathy, lust, surprise, excitement, etc) in this book and it brings out so many of the reader's it's unbelievable. </div>
<div>
Larissa delivered on all accounts…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Can't wait for Azagoth and more Revenant - I hate when authors make me love character I hated before, and then make me wait, ugh!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>Favorite character(s):</b> Reaver, Harvester, Revenant, Sem brothers, Tavin (hope he gets a book too!!)<br />
<b>Favorite scene(s):</b> Oh, this is HARD! My favorite scene is sad as hell, but beautifully wrote, without being too spoilery, it's when Harvester gets an upgrade.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;">Fang has more fame and fortune than he will ever need, but none of that matters if he can’t have the woman of his dreams.

When not writing, she’s a full-time basketball/football/guitar mom for her two sons and a devoted wife to her real-life hero-husband. She’s addicted to writing, paranormal romance novels, movies, Alabama football and coffee…addictions are not necessarily in order of priority. She is convinced coffee is nectar from the gods and blending coffee and writing together generates the perfect creative merger.Many of her creative worlds are spawned from coffee highs.<br />

When I first came across Struck, I thought its story-line was quite fresh and interesting in this genre and I knew I will read it.. someday. Then later I ran into the book trailer and my jaw dropped. It is so awesome I got excited all over again even though there was nothing new that the blurb didn't tell me earlier. It was just so intense and brilliantly made. A few months later I finally got to read the book too.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since it's a YA book, I was actually terrified. What if the main character is whiny, stupid, or just too girly for my taste? What if the story is full of cliches? What if the romance will be a total waste of time? Well, they say that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so here we go. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's written in first person POV, so I needed to like the main character to enjoy the book. While Mia isn't one of those tough, bad-ass girls like Rose (Vampire Academy), Katniss (Hunger Games), Jesse (Darker Days), etc, who I adore, she isn't a selfless, delicate flower either. I really liked her sarcasm and she does says anyone to f*** off and doesn't let anyone to control her. Most days anyway.<br />
<br />
And there's <b>the story</b> which has everything. Some elements of paranormal, religion, conspiracy, science. All this stuff in a post-apocalyptic city in ruins. With its "slow and steady wins the race" concept, 'Struck' rivets the readers to their seats, because they certainly will keep guessing for a good long time, before the reasons of why either cults wants Mia are revealed. Despite the fact that I enjoyed groping in dark and coming up with all kinds of conspiracy theories while trying to figure out who are the good guys - IF there's any -, speculating about the main villain, the Prophet's abilities, how can he do all the shits he does, what's his true goal, etc... still there was <b>a bit too much story build-up... not enough action </b>and no smashing catharsis for me. I also expected to see more crashing and smashing between the two warring cults, but they didn't really do anything to each other, I kept waiting for them to bring a good Raiden fight or something like that, but sadly, I didn't get it. However, I confess valiantly<b> there were some twists that surprised me at the end.</b> The biggest was the true identity of <b>Mia's love interest, Jeremy.</b> I would have loved if his character takes a full 180 degree turn and becomes the exact opposite of what he was, but I knew that's not going to happen. and of course I was right. Maaaan what a waste of an ultimate twist! Okay, maybe it's because I didn't really liked his character, but whatever. It could have been a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Of all the <b>side characters</b>, I have to mention one person particularly. Katrina, a member of the cult called "Seekers". Boy, this girl was on fire! Whenever and wherever she showed up nothing remained peacefully. She was tough and funny. <strike>Can't we make her the protagonist??</strike></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<b>The love story </b>fortunately, however, wasn't the center of the story. Why fortunately? Because, while as a separate side character I sort of liked Jeremy, the relationship between Mia and him was really missing the fire that she always felt around him. I really did not feel the chemistry between them, I think it would have been better to let them be just friends or allies would have been more interesting than the unnecessary love story.<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>The 'Struck', despite its slower tempo, completely captured my attention and although I probably will not read the book over and over again because the charm in it is that it keeps the reader in the dark, and slowly reveals the big secrets. But for a one-time, or once/year entertaining read it's perfect. Not much chance that the reader's gonna throw it at the wall :). There are some questions left about the "Seeker" cult members, and maybe we will actually get answers to those if the sequel comes out in 2016, but there was no cliffhanger making 'Struck' a great standalone novel.</b></div>

<b>Favorite character(s):</b> Katrina, Mia<br />
<b>Favorite scene(s):</b> Basically every scene with the Seekers. They were fun.<br />
