Claire Farrell: Soul (Chaos 1)

I honestly loved reading this book. I don't know how to describe it.. At one point she accepts a drink from the Fae. Anyone who's read even a sligh bit of Fae knows you do not drink or eat anything.
Yet she does. Once she drinks and eats she's entranced.. Everything passes in a haze.

That's how I felt in this book. As I was reading I felt like I was in this haze and the pages kept passing while I couldn't put the book down untill it was finished. I got lost in the world of magic and war..

The romance in the book wasn't overwhelming and overly sexualised. There's room for the romance to built. CF allows the reader to be entranced together with Cara and build the emotions around all the characters at a steady pace.

The Lore and the fact that we're talking about the Irish just makes this all a bonus!

This book was written really well. I feel like CF did a great job in bringing over everything that was said, done or decribed in the book. But mostly (this should not have become such a big deal but sadly it has) it was Kindle and there were NO typing errors. I can't stand how so many Kindle-ised books feel like someone was just smashing the keyes to get the job done. Not caring what the end result looks like. But this time around, I think there was one punctuation error in the entire book and it was so enlighting.
I was about to give up on Kindle but this has given me so much hope. I don't mean to bash on Kindle but it's getting rediculous! I don' t pay for books to just get upset about all the erros!

This book is a very pleasant and addictive read.. I like Cara and I like her little Fae friends. I like the mysterie the book holds.. Keep in mind that no book is perfect. But this book reached my top list!
4 Stars for this book!

D.B. Reynolds: Jabril (Vampires in America 2)

This book was so much more action packed than the first book! I feel like D.B. Reynolds is one of those Authors who become better every book you read.
I like how new characters were implimented and old ones remained and stayed strong throughout the book. It's not like they're suddenly 'oh sorry, next book is out goodbye most important person from book one...'

I still have a problem seeing the connection between Raphael and Cyn. I feel like I'm missing it because the connection they form is through her dreams. Every night. And As a reader you only experience a couple of those moments. But I mean, if he secretly visits her in her dreams because of some Vampire JuJu and they make this awesome connection I totally get it. If the love of my life would do that I'd be sold!

I feel like once again, this book leaves room for more. It proves that it works as a series and not so much as a standalone.

I don't really know what I can say about this book without giving too much away other than, its realxing, steamy and you don't have to think too much. You can just sit back in your couch and read through it after a day of stress or iritation.
There are some plot twists that just shattered my heart and all in all i just like Cyn. She's my kind of woman.
In this book she is once again the strong, independant woman but she's also allowed to freak out and be scared. I like that. The image of perfection that has surrounded Supernatural novels has grown old. I like how vampires can get hurt. How Lord Raphael has a huge security detail and people worrying about him every time he goes out. He might be strong and almighty and whatnot. But he can still get hurt.
I love it.

I'm looking forward to the next book 'Rajmund'.

Cover: 0.5/2
Price: 2/2
Characters: 1.5/2
Story 1/2
Overall: 1.5/2

The bad cover takes a lot of this book's rating... Come on, you can do so much better for book covers! it's not that hard!!! The only good thing about the covers is that they all match. It looks nice on my bookshelve.

Chrissy Peebles: Crush (The Crush Saga 1)

I'm starting to regret ever subscribing to a mailing service that keeps me up to date with books that become free for a day on Kindle... 

Firstly, this book needs editing. Lots of it. Why? Her hair color changes between black and brown... There are words just sitting there, meaning nothing and totally out of place (I'm guessing it was edited to change certain words to reduce repetition, but they seem to have forgotten to delete the words they wanted to change), Julie seems to turn and talk to Julie, Taylor seems to be talking to Taylor.. And I swear at one point something happens (A) and then other stuff happens leaving us 2 days away from A and then when she's speaking to her friends A was suddenly yesterday. 

The story wasn't all that and this little editing gone wrong just ruined it all. I kept being thrown out of the zone.. Re-reading, going back to see if I had missed something.. This book is a hot mess. 

This story had a lot of potential. When finally I found out what the story was going to be about.. Some curse or whatnot I got so excited. But it doesn't go anywhere. Apperantly being cursed is not exciting enough to keep as the main storyline. Apperantly a supernatural communite isn't either. 

What does seem to be good enough is the mushy, way too over the place 'Jesse is so hot and so gentle and he is the best thing that could have ever happened to me but it's so dangerous but I still love him, but he can kill me and I know all this and I have to keep repeating it but I still don't care because he is my soulmate and we're going to live happily ever after even if we can't because he's dangerous, but he's so perfect and so gentle'... 

I'm kind of over the "love at first glance" thing and not really having to get into anything deeper before you know that this is the true love. 

Take for example 'Kerrelyn Sparks', in the Love at Stake series they start lusting after the first glance but it's not untill later that they actually fall in love... After they get to know the other person.

I liked the Zoo angle here and I think so much more could have been done with it... Like let us get to know Jesse a bit so we can find out what's so god damn special about him. 

There is potential in this book, like I said before.. But the first book really did not live up to it's potential. I will read the second because some exciting ideas were implied but not worked out. We'll see. I'm just not a big fan of their romance. It doesn't have depth. It's like a crazy love sick teen raging hormone kind of thing and that's sad. I'd also like to see a bit more of this supernatural world going on and WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CURSE! SERIOSULY!!!

2.5 stars for this book, the editing wasn't worth mentioning and the story was mostly empty filled with inconsistencies, over half the book was about nothing but there were some good ideas and I'd like to follow them up.

P.S. The cover says nothing about the book at all... This is YA, not an adult novel but it has the cover of one.

Lynsay Sands: A Quick Bite (Argeneau 1)

I really enjoyed this book. There's this whole let's make a vamp novel.. But let's not take it too serious.. Just because we can!
No but for real, it was funny.. I like how vampire have been "created" in her universe. Way too many books don't explain how vampires came to be. If they do it's often the result of magic. I love how here, for once, it's the result of science.
I think it gives a really fresh view to how vampires could actually be. She talks about Atlantis.. Really LS couldn't do anything wrong for me at that point!

I like the big family constantly butting into Lissiana's business and never giving her and Greg a break. Making life very, very awkward. It makes me feel right at home!
I read some bad reviews for this book.. As always there are good and bad. This time I feel like so many people take it too serious! It's a book, enjoy it!
True some of the writting style needs a bit work here and there and there were some parts where I thought 'oh, why not this' or 'Why here'..
But in the end it was a good book and a great start for a series that I will certainly be reading more of.

No book is perfect, and just as sure this book has it's flaws. But mostly I just found it a nice, relaxing, funny and really fresh book.
4 stars for me!
