The Death Pit by Tony Strong
5.0
This is actually the first book I got of author Tony Strong, I found it in my sisters old books. The story is so captivating I couldn't put down the book. I love how in all his novels he always picks a strong female character to lead and the story never disappoints. I had read this first not knowing it was actually part of a mini series but that didn't ruin anything because this book stood on its own. I read all his books and Tony Strong never let me down!
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
4.0
I finished this book in one night. I loved the characters and I adore novels with strong female leads in it and Calla was it.
The love triangle was a nice dynamic but you kind of had a feeling where it was leading towards. The characters made up for that though. The history of the guardians, the keepers and searchers is still a big mystery and I would love to know more. I generally don't really enjoy too much mystery because you can get confused easily without some information to go by. This borders the line for me :/
There was some points in the story that repeated too much and was sort of a filler but towards the ending, it was worth it. Though the actual ending of this book was frustrating as hell. It cuts off so awkwardly that you HAVE TO get the next book.
Good read though and would definitely recommend! I love were stories!

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

My best friend recommended me this book and she knows me well. I really enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed everything about this story and how the ending wasn't the 'all happy ending' I thought it would be. I don't want to spoil anything but i thought Vivian was going to have her original happy ending. Vivian is by far my favorite, she may appear slightly sexual but that's what I would image a young werewolf would act like, very comfortable in her skin and not conforming to the norm.
Even though I liked this ending more then most werewolf stories, especially when they involve human/werewolf relationships, I really wished they didn't end it so fast. This story could have definitely continued and I'm sad that it doesn't.

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
1.0
Ok I was slightly curious about this book so I decided to give it a chance.
FYI I have not finished this book I only got through 2 chapters then gave up. The way it was written was horrible and felt like it was written by a child. I felt like I was reading a 15 years old diary about her trip to England. When I read it talking about war I thought it would be dated in the past but no she has a cellphone!?
I completely gave up on it! I absolutely hated the writing style and wouldn't put myself through that torture again. If you can actually read that story I congratulate you but I would rather keep all my brain cells thank you!

Mona Lisa Awakening by Sunny
5.0
Love it! Hidden secret world and harem of godly men? Hell yes!!
This is a series I fell in love with right away after I read her lil' short story of it actually and was dieing to read more.
Mona Lisa was sort of a breath of fresh air, a refreshing change of character and very likable in my opinion. I love the sexual part of this whole series and who wouldn't want a harem of men to seduce you without it being a problem? Guilty pleasure!
The monère part is fascinating and the underworld/lucifer just adds to it. I love how it's a story I've never seen before and you don't know how nice that can be. Originality : A+
A must read in my opinion!
