Review: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

Image
Title: Bloodlines (Bloodlines #1) Author: Richelle Mead Summary: Blood doesn't lie... Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning... Review: So, up until last month I hadn’t read any books by Mea

Financial Problems in the Real World

I'm sorry that I haven't been very active in my blogging world lately. I have had some posts/reviews, that I had scheduled, but I haven't been going to other blogs. See, i'm having some pretty serious personal issues. I work at the local DME provider The Scooter Store, and if you watch the news, you might have heard that The Scooter Store has been having serious issues (including an FBI raid!) lately. Most recently, we have (all the employees) been put on a Furlough- unpaid time off- until further notice. This is basically a layoff, without a severance check. :( This has been devastating to my family. Both my husband and myself work at The Scooter Store, and now we are suddenly both unemployed! Where we live, in a pretty small town, there are no other jobs. Well, a few, but very few, and NOTHING that pays even close to what we were getting paid there!! We have been applying like crazy, and of course i've been writing, but we are stressed to the max, and..

Review: The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa

Image
Title: The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) Author: Julie Kagawa Summary: Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally. Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus  that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike. Review: Wow! So… where do I even start with this? The majority of this book is Allie trying to find Kanin, then trying to find a cure, But Sarren is back (the bigg bad guy who really wants to kill everyone) and he continuously gets in their way. See, he was looking for a cure too, but not to save everyone, but to morph it into a new virus that would basically kill everyone. What little hope they have left is in Eden. Jackal

Review: The Demon Lover by Juliet Dark

Image
Title: The Demon Lover Author: Juliet Dark Summary: Since accepting a teaching position at remote Fairwick College in upstate New York, Callie McFay has experienced the same disturbingly erotic dream every night: A mist enters her bedroom, then takes the shape of a virile, seductive stranger who proceeds to ravish her in the most toe-curling, wholly satisfying ways possible. Perhaps these dreams are the result of her having written the bestselling book The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers . Callie’s lifelong passion is the intersection of lurid fairy tales and Gothic literature—which is why she’s found herself at Fairwick’s renowned folklore department, living in a once-stately Victorian house that, at first sight, seemed to call her name. But Callie soon realizes that her dreams are alarmingly real. She has a demon lover—an incubus—and he will seduce her, pleasure her, and eventually suck the very life from her. Then Callie makes another startling discovery: Her incubus is not t

Review: Vanish (Firelight #2) by Sophie Jordan

Image
Title: Vanish  (Firelight #2) Author: Sophie Jordan Summary: An impossible romance. Bitter rivalries. Deadly choices. To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone. Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When t
