Modern Monsters: Review

OK, so I got 28 posts in 7 days, which is a pretty decent week, read a lot, which was really great! I enjoyed that a lot! What about you guys? Happy reading!

So this week I want to read Dead Radiance, Dead Embers, Dead Chaos, Dead Wrath, Sworn to Raise, Sworn to Transfer, Sworn to Conflict, Alive, The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak, A Sense of the Infinite, Extraordinary Means, Tiny Pretty Things, My Heart & Other Black Holes, Simon vs. the The Homo Sapiens Agenda, The Revenge Playbook, Don't Touch, A Wicked Thing, Prisoner of Night and Fog, Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke, Rebel Belle, Emancipated, Proof of Forever, Eat, Brains, Love, Undead With Benefits, Alienated, Her Dark Curiosity, Maddie's Tattoo, and Awaken.
Eighteen-year-old companion trainee Ciardis Weathervane has won the friendship of the royal heir and saved his claim to the throne. Yet her interference in the inheritance rights leaves more harm done than good. The Ameles Forest lies unprotected and its inhabitants are dying.

As humans begin to die in gruesome deaths, the Emperor dispatches the royal heir to the forests with the solution to the kith concerns.

With enemies closing ranks in Sandrin, Ciardis can little afford to leave the city’s nest of vipers to take on a new task. But she’s given no choice when her loyalty to the crown and courts are called into question.

To keep the Companions’ Guild happy and the favor of the Imperial Court, Ciardis will be tested in frightening new ways, especially when she’s faced with an obstacle that could risk the lives of her friends and the family she never thought she had.

This second novel continues the story of Ciardis Weathervane from Sworn To Raise.
The latest release in the high fantasy series which has drawn comparisons to Kushiel's Dart, Graceling, and the epic world of Tamora Pierce.

Ciardis Weathervane fought for the living dead and won. But worse than taking on a mass murderer, was her discovery that she had been deceived by her friends. Now she needs to not only fight a war in the North and survive, but also decide where she stands in the midst of competing sides.

A threat to all she holds dear lies in the North and her heart is not the only thing she might lose. A massive army awaits in the mountain pass, surging closer to the gates of the southern lands. Nothing the Algardis army has done so far has dissuaded their march forward and Ciardis finds out that her powers to enhance are needed now more than ever.

As she faces her greatest fears on the battlefields and her heart is torn between her love of Sebastian and loyalty to her family, Ciardis must choose her fate carefully. For in her path, lies the destiny of the empire.

This third novel continues the story of Ciardis Weathervane from Sworn To Transfer.
Stella Cross's heart is poisoned.

After years on the transplant waiting list, she's running out of hope that she'll ever see her eighteenth birthday. Then, miraculously, Stella receives the transplant she needs to survive.

Determined to embrace everything she came so close to losing, Stella throws herself into her new life. But her recovery is marred by strange side effects: Nightmares. Hallucinations. A recurring pain that flares every day at the exact same moment. Then Stella meets Levi Zin, the new boy on everyone's radar at her Seattle prep school. Stella has never felt more drawn to anyone in her life, and soon she and Levi are inseparable. 

Stella is convinced that Levi is her soul mate. Why else would she literally ache for him when they are apart?

After all, the heart never lies...does it?
Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him—and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.

Week 23 Review: Witchrise

From Goodreads:
Only one witch can rise above the coming storm ...

When Tudor witch Meg Lytton receives an unexpected legacy - her mother's magical wand, ring and spellbook - she has no idea her future happiness is in danger. For the witchfinder Marcus Dent is back in her dreams, and he will use any weapon to gain her newfound powers for himself.

Now Meg must discover the secret of Invictus, her mother's magical ring. Summoned back to Hatfield, she knows a battle is coming. But Meg is no longer alone in her struggle against Dent. Surrounded by her friends, she faces her greatest challenge head-on: losing Alejandro, her beloved. For it seems the Spanish novice has been keeping secrets from them all.

Powers clash and hearts break in the spellbinding third book of The Tudor Witch Trilogy.

My Review:
This was a really awesome book! I do have a few nitpicks, but those are mine. Like, how the face is real, and not all beautiful colours with the cover. Because that makes it different from the other two. Or how this book doesn't feel like the end of the series!

So backtracking, first, it was just so freaking great to be with these characters again! Meg, headstrong witch in a time of hanging or burning of witches, and heretics, those not of the Catholic faith. Alejandro, a warrior priest-in-training, and with a secret engagement to Meg. And newish character, Richard, magical apprentice of John Dee. Yeah. That was really great!

The one big thing for this book, is that Meg is lead to her mom's stash of witch-y things. Like a pretty powerful wand. And her book of spells and such. And a pretty strange ring. That was really interesting and awesome to read about! Espcially how things worked out in this book!

Brining me to the not end of the series thing. Because it doesn't-Marcus Dent is still alive, and he has the ring, and the book, and he's not dead. So it doesn't feel resolved yet! Sure, there were great things with getting rid of Alejandro's curse, and the marriage, but Dent being alive, well, I want another book or something to resolve that!

Favourite lines: "If Marcus returns, I will lose no time in running for help while he hops after me, fixing me with his beady eye." Well, he's probably not still a bird, but this is funny! "Oh, nothing. Only remind me to skip supper if you're cooking." Yeah, seeing as it's dead toad, and "a delicious supper" is only a cover for witchcraft!

Yeah, this was a really amazing book! I just really want more!

The Queen of Zombie Hearts by Gena Showalter

I have a plan.

We'll either destroy them for good, or they'll destroy us.

Either way, only one of us is walking away.

Alice 'Ali' Bell thinks the worst is behind her. She's ready to take the next step with boyfriend Cole Holland, the leader of the zombie slayers; until Anima Industries, the agency controlling the zombies, launches a sneak attack, killing four of her friends. It's then she realizes that humans can be more dangerous than monsters; and the worst has only begun.

As the surviving slayers prepare for war, Ali discovers she, too, can control the zombies and she isn't the girl she thought she was. She's connected to the woman responsible for killing and turning Cole's mother. How can their relationship endure? As secrets come to light, and more slayers are taken or killed, Ali will fight harder than ever to bring down Anima even sacrificing her own life for those she loves.

After spending the summer away from each other, Titus and Iolanthe (still disguised as Archer Fairfax) are eager to return to Eton College to resume their training to fight the Bane. Although no longer bound to Titus by a blood oath, Iolanthe is more committed than ever to fulfilling her destiny—especially with the agents of Atlantis quickly closing in.

Soon after arriving at school, though, Titus makes a shocking discovery, one that makes him question everything he previously believed about their mission. Faced with this devastating realization, Iolanthe is forced to come to terms with her new role, while Titus must choose between following his mother's prophecies—and forging a divergent path to an unknowable future.
Ember Miller and Chase Jennings are ready to stop running. After weeks spent in hiding as two of the Bureau of Reformation’s most wanted criminals, they have finally arrived at the safe house, where they hope to live a safe and quiet existence.

And all that’s left is smoking ruins.

Devastated by the demolition of their last hope, Ember and Chase follow the only thing left to them—tracks leading away from the wreckage. The only sign that there may have been survivors.

With their high profile, they know they can’t stay out in the open for long. They take shelter in the wilderness and amidst the ruins of abandoned cities as they follow the tracks down the coast, eventually finding refugees from the destroyed safe house. Among them is someone from Chase’s past—someone he never thought he’d see again.

Banding together, they search for a place to hide, aiming for a settlement a few of them have heard about…a settlement that is rumored to house the nebulous organization known as Three. The very group that has provided Ember with a tiny ray of hope ever since she was first forced on the run.

Three is responsible for the huge network of underground safe houses and resistance groups across the country. And they may offer Ember her only chance at telling the world her story.

At fighting back.
In this highly anticipated fifteenth novel in the Immortals After Dark series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole spins a sultry tale of a mighty warrior scarred inside and out and the beguiling sorceress with the power to heal him—or vanquish him forever.

ETERNAL OBSESSION

As a boy, Thronos, prince of Skye Hall, loved Lanthe, a mischievous Sorceri girl who made him question everything about his Vrekener clan. But when the two got caught in the middle of their families’ war, tragedy struck, leaving Thronos and Lanthe bitter enemies. Though centuries have passed, nothing can cool his seething need for the beautiful enchantress who scarred his body—and left an even deeper impression on his soul.

ENDLESS YEARNING

Lanthe, a once-formidable sorceress struggling to reclaim her gifts, searches for love and acceptance with all the wrong immortal suitors. But she’s never forgotten Thronos, the magnificent silver-eyed boy who protected her until she was ripped from the shelter of his arms. One harrowing night changed everything between them. Now he’s a notorious warlord with a blood vendetta against Lanthe, hunting her relentlessly.

CAN THE HEAT OF DESIRE BURN BRIGHTER THAN VENGEANCE?

With their families locked in conflict and battles raging all around them, will Thronos and Lanthe succumb to the brutal chaos that threatens everything they cherish? Or will the fragile bond they formed so long ago spark a passion strong enough to withstand even the darkest doubts?
In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.

Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.

Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…
As #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s new Cainsville series continues, Olivia’s power to read omens leads to the discovery of a gruesome crime with troubling connections to her new hometown.

Omens, the first installment in Kelley Armstrong’s exciting new series, introduced Olivia Taylor-Jones, daughter of notorious serial killers, and Gabriel Walsh, the self-serving, morally ambiguous lawyer who became her unlikely ally. Together, they chased down a devious killer and partially cleared her parents of their horrifying crimes.

Their success, however, is short-lived. While Olivia takes refuge in the old, secluded town of Cainsville, Gabriel’s past mistakes have come to light, creating a rift between the pair just when she needs his help the most.

Olivia finds a dead woman in her car, dressed to look like her, but the body vanishes before anyone else sees it. Olivia’s convinced it’s another omen, a sign of impending danger. But then she learns that a troubled young woman went missing just days ago—the same woman Olivia found dead in her car. Someone has gone to great lengths to kill and leave this young woman as a warning. But why? And what role has her new home played in this disturbing murder?

Olivia’s effort to uncover the truth places her in the crosshairs of old and powerful forces, forces that have their own agenda, and closely guarded secrets they don’t want revealed.
The sisters of Sea Haven, bound by the heart and the magical power of the elements, return in this soul-stirring new novel from Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Spirit Bound...

For as far back as she can remember, Airiana Ridell has always been aware of her extraordinary gift. She can intuit revealing and illuminating 'patterns' in the air around her-whether in a spray of mist, in billowing clouds, or in the dense swirls of an impenetrable fog. Her abilities led to her placement in a secret government training facility when she was a child, but everything changed after her mother was murdered.

Airiana fled the program, but she couldn't outrun the desperate members of a shadowy cabal who want her, who need her, who will kill to get her. Kidnapped and held aboard a ship bound for dangerous seas, her only chance for rescue is Maxim Prakenskii. He has his reasons for helping her, but he isn't about to reveal them to Airiana. Not yet. Not as the two are drawn together as moth to flame. Not when there are so many secrets yet untold that could shatter the quaint community of Sea Haven and all who reside there...
It has been four years.

Four years since the day the Catchers found her family.

Four years since she escaped capture.

And four years since the day her mother locked her and Will, a boy she hardly knew, in an attic, 'for their own protection'.

Now, Eden White is fifteen, and sick of being a prisoner of parents who all but abandoned her. It was as simple as one walk down a beautiful, foggy beach, but it ended with Eden and Will face to face with Catchers - and this time, there is no escape.

When Eden wakes, she finds herself on an island, surrounded by hundreds of stolen children. Enrolled in the island school, Jordan Hall, Eden quickly learns that the island is not what it seems.

And, in the woods surrounding the school, she discovers a wild, beautiful magic inside of herself - one she has no idea how to control. With three unlikely new friends, Eden begins to realize that the headmistress is hiding much more than the stolen children - and what they learn in the laboratories below the school could cost Eden her life.
After four years as a prisoner in her parents' attic, hidden away from the Catchers, Eden never dreamt the very people she was hiding from would be the beginning of such impossible things. She's found freedom on the island like she never imagined.

Eden is a sorcerer, with the power of the world in her fingertips. She is determined to never be helpless like she once was, and spends every minute of her spare time training to fight back. As she discovers more of her own power, she and her friends continue to uncover the secrets of the Council. Deadly secrets, hinting at something far larger than the island and the Catchers. Before they can find out exactly what the Council is hiding, Eden's magic begins to spiral out of control, and she loses it for just a second. Just half of a second, and it's enough to change everything.

Suddenly, lives are put at stake, and Eden and her friends must do something no one else has ever dared. They have to escape the island, or they have to die trying.

Write on Review-a-Thon Update 2



I reviewed Witchstruck and Witchfall, and I'll be reviewing Breaking Point next. Ok, I didn't write 9 more reviews yesterday, which means I'll most likely not make my goal today. Oh, well. I'll try my best!

Write On Review-a-Thon

For my first review, I reviewed The Burning Sky, and I'll be reviewing Witchstruck and Witchfall next. Must do the next 9 reviews at least today!

Reviews Written: The Burning Sky.

Goal: 20 
Done: 1

Week 35 Reviews: Witchstruck, Witchfall


From Goodreads:
If she sink, she be no witch and shall be drowned. 

If she float, she be a witch and must be hanged. 

Meg Lytton has always known she is different—that she bears a dark and powerful gift. But in 1554 England, in service at Woodstock Palace to the banished Tudor princess Elizabeth, it has never been more dangerous to practise witchcraft. Meg knows she must guard her secret carefully from the many suspicious eyes watching over the princess and her companions. One wrong move could mean her life, and the life of Elizabeth, rightful heir to the English throne. 

With witchfinder Marcus Dent determined to have Meg's hand in marriage, and Meg's own family conspiring against the English queen, there isn't a single person Meg can trust. Certainly not the enigmatic young Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, despite her undeniable feelings. But when all the world turns against her, Meg must open her heart to a dangerous choice. 

The Secret Circle meets The Other Boleyn Girl in Witchstruck, the first book of the magical Tudor Witch trilogy.

From Goodreads:
Her darkest dreams are coming true.

In Tudor England, 1555, Meg Lytton has learned how powerful her magick gift can be. But danger surrounds her and her mistress, the outcast Princess Elizabeth. Nowhere is safe in the court of Elizabeth's fanatical sister, Queen Mary. And as the Spanish Inquisition's merciless priests slowly tighten their grip on the court, Meg's very dreams are disturbed by the ever-vengeful witchfinder Marcus Dent. 


Even as Meg tries to use her powers to find guidance, something evil arises, impervious to Meg's spells and hungry to control England's fate. As Meg desperately tries to keep her secret betrothed, the Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, out of harm's way, caution wars with their forbidden desire. And with her most powerful enemy poised to strike, Meg's only chance is a heartbreaking sacrifice.

My Review:
I really rather liked these books! I loved the history, being banished, or in the courts, and the magic, and how Meg does learn some new things over the course of these books, and yeah, I know she's going to learn more in the next and last book!

These books had some really great scenes, like the various uses that Meg employed her power for, to help Elizabeth predict the future, seeing how the Queen was just wanting to be pregnant so much that she made her body develop the symptoms of it, in the stars!

Marcus Dent was evil. I mean, wanting to marry her, just because, and then accusing her aunt of being a witch when Meg rejected him, and then making sure her aunt burned to death, and then we find out why he's such a witch hunter-a witch predicted that he'd die at the hands of a witch that could raise a king, which Meg did.

I really didn't like some of Elizabeth's actions. First there was the whole regifting of the King's gift to Meg, and I thought a situation would arise when Meg wore it on a "date" between the King and Elizabeth, but nothing happened, yeah. But then when they went to raise her mom, Elizabeth said that she'd accept the consequences. But then later, when the consequences were that her dad was also brought along, she blamed Meg. Who didn't want to do it in the first place.

And then after all that, when her old nursemaid lady, the one that Elizabeth grew up with, came back, she got rid of Meg to show her power, that Elizabeth couldn't have a suspected witch in her household, Elizabeth just let her go. Even though Meg just had a magical death the night before for Elizabeth. Not cool!

All in all, great books, I utterly enjoyed reading them, and I can't wait to read Witchrise!

The Reward Challenge Update 101 Part 2

The Reward Challenge is almost the complete opposite to a book buying ban as you'll end up buying lots of new books throughout the challenge but only after you've completed a certain amount of reading. It was hosted by Good Golly Miss Holly, so thanks to her for starting it!

OK, so I already had 57 counts, and I read I Adored a Lord which counts 4 times as a Edelweiss Book, Historical Fiction 2014 Book and a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, The Forest Lord which counts 3 times as a Historical Fiction 2014 Book and  Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, Lord of the Beasts which counts 3 times as a Historical Fiction 2014 Book and Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, Promise of Shadows which counts 3 times as a SAC 2014 Book and a Sophomore Challenge Book, The New Kid which counts twice as a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, Tempting Danger which counts twice as a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, In Close which counts 3 times as a End of Series 2014 Book and a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, I Married the Duke which counts 3 times as a Historical Fiction 2014 Book and a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, Kisses, She Wrote which counts 3 times as a Historical Fiction 2014 Book and a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book, The Nine Lives of Chloe King which counts 7 times as a End of Series 2014 Book and a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book.

Some counts that I didn't get the before are Graceling which counts 3 times as a Prequel & Sequel Challenge 2014 Book and a JFF Book, Born to be Bad which counts twice as a JFF Book, Phantom of the Night which counts twice as a JFF Book, Falling to Ash which counts twice as a JFF Book, Ruthless Game which counts twice as a JFF Book.

For my reward, I'm getting Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb.

Some more retroactive counts are At Any Turn which counts twice as a JFF Book, Tourist Trap which counts twice as a JFF Book. So I have 4 counts total for next week.
