Blood Prophecy- Alyxandra Harvey - Review

Hello all,

We are now reviewing the end of the great series and Alyxandra Harvey I was super sad that it was over. There was tears brimming on my rims.

Blood Prophecy- Alyxandra Harvey

Solange Drake has been officially crowned Queen of the Vampires, fulfilling the centuries old prophecy that foretold the rise to power of a daughter born to an ancient vampire line. Except Solange's thoughts and actions are no longer her own-she's been slowly being possessed by the spirit of Viola, the first daughter born into the Drake line, since her bloodchange. And instead of uniting the vampire tribes under the rule of an ancient daughter as the prophecy predicted, Viola would rather destroy them all and enslave humans in a personal vendetta for the devastation both wrought to her life centuries ago. Can Solange break her hold in time to save everyone she loves from a vampire civil war, hunter attack, and each other? Not everyone will survive the prophecy . . . perhaps not even her.

5/5 Review

I got stuck into this book at great speed because of the end of the last one and I was trying to savour the great final of the book, but I couldn't it was just too good. I got wrapped up in Lucy's troubles. I was shouting at Solange the whole way through it. I couldn't get enough of how all the characters were tied together and was glad to see that Solange finally come into her own. So much happened in this book that is far too hard for me to lay it all out in neat little parcels. 

I will leave you with this, I can't be more touched by this book. Saddened it ended and wishing it would restart. Please read this series above all other vampire ones please read this one.

Blood Moon By Alyxandra Harvey Review

Hello Readers,

I couldn't wait to review book number five of The Drake Chronicles, and I'm now I fear the end of the sixth book. I have to say this review that I found the easiest to write.

Blood Moon Blurb: 

When the vampire tribes convene for the rare Blood Moon ceremonies, family secrets and forbidden magic put all of the Drakes in danger. Nicholas is caught between saving his little sister, Solange, or his girlfriend, Lucy. Who will he choose?

5/5 Stars - Review

Right from the beginning, I was tangled up in the epic story that was brewing with Lucy, Solange, Keiran and Nicholas. Things were certainly showing peril that no one could have seen coming. Another element seems to be at play from the first page of Solange's appearance. Her addiction to live blood is proving to be a problem. Her rebellion towards her family was very shocking indeed especially if you have followed Solange's story. 

I couldn't put this book down as the story continued to develop at a fast pace. Lucy seems to come into her own in this book, and Nicholas is tested in ways that I never imagined. I was left asking myself so many questions at the end of this book. 

Who the hell was Dawn? 

This is a must have the book, and you will not be able to stop reading it I promise.

Bleeding Hearts (Drake Chronicles) By Alyxandra Harvey Review

Hello All, 

So we are getting close to me finishing the Drake Vampires series. I have to say am sad. If your reading this Alyxandra Harvey please find a way to publish more of this great series. I just know there is more to this two families. 

Bleeding Hearts By Alyxandra Harvey

Lucy's cousin Christabel has come to live in Violet Hill, and adjusting to the difference between life in a small mountain town and her home in the city is difficult. The strict curfew that Lucy's parents enforce is hard to respect. Surely something really dangerous couldn't possibly happen in this tiny town.

But Christabel starts to notice some mysterious happenings, and it seems like Lucy, her boyfriend Nicholas and his brother Connor are all in on a secret that Christabel doesn't understand - one that seems deadly serious. Although she won't admit it, Christabel would love to be in on any secret with Connor Drake. When Christabel is kidnapped by the ruthless Hel-Blar vampires, Lucy and Connor finally fill her in on all the undead drama. Together, they must find a way to stamp out the Hel-Blar for good.

5/5 Stars - Reviews

I just can't say enough good things about this story. I love the name Christabel for the start especially when we learn about the poem. I have to say with my name I would love it came with something so awesome. Not just well pieces of rock. 

Christabel is my kind of character with her love of books and the need to go over poems that were memorised. There is an edge to this book that I loved so wholeheartedly. I loved how Christabel saw this whole adventure as a book that she had been dropped into. I actually said, "Yes that is so cool." I enjoyed the relationship that was developing with Connor. I would have liked to see more of Helena's reaction to the situation personally. That is only because I have a little love for her. 

I could have hugged Alyxandra Harvey when she added another kind of Vampire especially when she entered the Viking word. I was so happy. I'm Viking mad I think. Anyway. I have to say I couldn't contain myself when I finished this book at like 3 am and went straight into the next one in the series. I just couldn't get enough of it. 

Out did yourself, Alyxandra Harvey! I love it. Well done.

Midnight Bites - Rachel Caine - 16/16 of Morganville Vampires

Hello All,

I'm saddened today at the loss of a series that I was in love with from the very beginning and how I didn't want to read this last book as it would mean the end of the series.

Sadly that day has come.

Morganville Vampire's Book 16
Midnight Bites- 
Rachel Caine

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine presents a collection of stories—including six new tales—featuring the little Texas town that’s overrun by the undead.
WELCOME TO MORGANVILLE.
YOU’LL NEVER WANT TO LEAVE.
 
By day, Morganville, Texas, is just a typical college town. By night, the vampires emerge and take control.... 
 
In a town where it’s not safe to be out after dark, student Claire Danvers and her friends have had their fair share of thrills. But Morganville still has a few secrets left to tell.
 
Now, in this collection, you can venture down the town’s strange streets, revisit all the tales you’ve come to love, and experience six new stories featuring your favorite Morganville residents—both human and vampire...

5/5- Review 

From Eve, Marlyn, Shane, Oliver and all the other characters of this great town has come to make me feel whole with their own stories, adventures, etc. The idea of doing the short stories has touched me, and it wasn't something I was sure I could read the short stories books don't always tie in well together. Rachel Caine managed this without a problem. 

I couldn't get enough of the different teams and pairings that she presented to us. I have to say thank you to the Kickstarter who gave us something beyond special. There was no other way to end the series and its something that I'm grateful to

have read. I hope that Rachel Caine will go back to the town because Jeremy has invaded or because there is a new threat that this band can solve. 

With tears in my eyes, I say farewell and Rachel you got yourself a reader for life.

The Prince Who Loved Me (The Oxenburg Princes, #1) by Karen Hawkins - Review

Dear all, 

I'm so delight to write a review about a historical book that has something that we all love. The blurring of a reader getting to fall in love with their dream hero. I think if this is something of interest with you then you should read this book and the review I did about it. 

The Prince Who Loved Me (The Oxenburg Princes, #1)  by Karen Hawkins

Meet the Princes of Oxenburg... Fairytales with a sizzling, Scottish, and delightfully sparkling twist from New York Times bestseller Karen Hawkins. Fans of Julia Quinn, Monica McCarty and Julie Garwood will fall under the spell of this enchanting romance.
Once upon a time a rakish prince who didn't believe in true love met a stubborn fair lady who wouldn't settle for anything less...
Prince Alexsey Romanovin revels in his life of carefree flirtation. So when his grandmother insists it's time for him to wed and whisks him away to Scotland, Alexsey vows to foil her plans. And when he stumbles upon Bronwyn Murdoch, the prince thinks he's found his answer.
Bookish Bronwyn has no time for a handsome flirt - no matter how intoxicating his kisses are. And she knows full well that a spoiled, arrogant prince wouldn't be seriously interested in such a firm-minded female. But if Alexsey is foolish enough to play such a game, then Bronwyn is determined to turn it upside down, and prove that an ordinary woman can bring a prince to his knees...
For more fun, flirty and dazzling romance, look out for Book Two in Karen Hawkin's Princes of Oxenburg series, The Prince And I, and The Princess Wore Plaid enovellaAnd catch her fabulous Duchess Diaries series.

Review 5/5

This book was just perfect in my opinion up until the ending. That was the part that I struggled with because I didn't feel like it was the best way to bring those two back together. It seemed to me that Bronwyn gave in too easily to his pitch of marriage. I also felt like there should be consequences to the grandmother and stepmother of the leading characters. 

The rest though made the book remain 5/5 stars for there were so few moments that I was thrown out of it and the detail she puts into the book is fantastic. I love the rich snippets of Bronwyn's favourite book as this proceeds. I think that the fact that Prince was going to give her a book was an incredible detail. The shoe part was a little odd for me as it was like she was making the last minute ditched attempt to make it feel like a Cinderella story. 

I will be continuing on with this series and look forward to seeing how the rest of it turns out. This, in my opinion, is a book for readers who are addicted to books as I am. The feel is perfect and it's so easy to read. I know that there is a lot of you out there that will enjoy this. So check it out and make sure its a part of your bookcase.

Daylighters By Rachel Caine - Book 15 of The Morganville Series.

Hello All,

Today, in my opinion, is a sad day for it turns out that we are saying goodbye to those we love in Morganville and closing the door on their journey. I have been there since the start, and it's breaking my heart to even consider writing this post. I must go forth and do what needs to be done before the tears take hold.

Daylighters- Rachel Caine

Something drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire and her friends were away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they've ever seen it before, but when their incoming group is arrested and separated - vampires from humans - they realise that the changes definitely aren't for the better. It seems that an organisation called the Daylight Foundation has offered the population of Morganville something they've never had: hope of a vampire-free future. And while it sounds like salvation - even for the vampires themselves - the truth is far more sinister and deadly. Now, Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely end ...Includes a brand new and exclusive Morganville short story.

Review: 5/5

Perfect ending to a whirlwind story that shouldn't be forgotten and must be read time after time. 

That was the first thing I thought after the tears had stopped pouring and my heart stopped pounding. The most magical moment is had in that book at the end. The journey throughout the book really did feel like they were tying up loose ends but in the right way. A much-needed way. 

Rachel deals from her deck of plot twists and heart wrecking moments right up to the very end. She doesn't just leave you wishing the series wouldn't end. She leaves a good warm fuzzy feeling behind. It just felt right and exactly how a fantastic series such as that should end. 

This series is a must buy!!!

Everlasting (Book 6 Immortals) By Alyson Noel Review

Hello All,

I was sadden greatly yesterday when the amazing series came to an end by Alyson Noel who gives us all hope for some great things in the future. I hope to have the chance to review more up to date work as I get into other series this year.

At New Year I decided that I was going to get involved with those readers on Goodreads that wanted to finish the series they have started off this year. They came up with a fun way to do so and I'm now taking part. I can see a lot of moments where I'm sad the series has ended but happy that I was able to see the final chapters of these characters lives.

So stay tuned for that. :D

Everlasting By Alyson Noel. 

Their epic love story has captured the hearts of millions and enchanted readers across the world.Everlasting is the beautiful finale to Alyson Noël's bestselling Immortals series, in which their journey draws to a spectacular conclusion―where all will be revealed.
Their darkest enemies now defeated, Damen and Ever are free to embark upon their final quest―to free Damen from the poison lingering in his body. If they can just find the antidote, they'll finally be able to feel each other's touch―and experience the passionate night they've been longing for. But their fight to be together will lead them into the most formidable terrain yet…into the dark heart of Summerland.
Here in a land of scorched earth and endless rain, Ever and Damen will discover their relationship's hidden origins, expose a secret history they never imagined…and come face to face with the true reason fate keeps tearing them apart. Only then, when the final mystery is unraveled and the last secret revealed, Ever and Damen's future will hinge on one ultimate decision that will put everything at stake….even eternity.

Review- 5/5 Stars 


This book was going to be the one to finish the series and it was one of those kind of stories that were just waiting to explode with long, longing as well as answers to the most important questions. I found that Alyson Noel delivered on all of them and not just that. She found away to make sure that Damen and Ever never had to deal with their bad Karma again. It was something that I wasn't sure was going to be possible as I remained glued to the pages as they set out the twisting, heart aching story. 

At the end of the novel I could feel myself holding my breath wishing that Ever and Damen could be together. That they would find some way to make it through the hardest test of all. The one that would decide their fate as a couple. The challenge this time had to be done by Ever and Ever alone. It was the right answer to what she had been lacking for some time.

Inner strength. 

I was glad that there was a good out come for the soul of Haven, Drina, Roman and the others. I felt like it was something that would have been wrong if she hadn't addressed it. Despite how much we all really hated them. I was glad there wasn't a single thread that was left untied. I think that this takes more than a little talent to pull off and for Alyson Noel to do it so well then I couldn't be more impressed. 
  


I look forward to the next piece she does and I know for certain that its going to be more than worth any amount of waiting.
