Awake at Dawn by C.C Hunter

Ok, so i'm going to start this back up. But I might not do a post everyday, maybe two times a week or more. I can try to do one a day, but it might not happen. Let's just see what happens.

 

Step into the world of Shadow Falls, a camp that helps teens tap into their special…talents. Once you visit, you’ll never forget it—and you’ll never, ever be the same.

From the moment Kylie Galen arrived at Shadow Falls Camp, she’s had one burning question: What am I? Surrounded by vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies and witches, Kylie longs to figure out her own supernatural identity…and what her burgeoning powers mean. And now she’ll need them more than ever, because she’s being haunted by a new spirit who insists that someone Kylie knows—and loves—will die before the end of the summer. If only she only knew who she was supposed to save. And how… But giving Kylie the most trouble is her aching heart. Gorgeous werewolf Lucas left camp with another girl, but he’s still visiting Kylie in her dreams. And Derek, a sexy half Fae who’s always been there for her when she needed him, is pushing to get more serious—and growing impatient, especially when Lucas returns. Kylie knows she needs to decide between the boys, and it’s tearing her up inside. Yet romance will have to wait, because something from the dark side of the supernatural world is hiding in Shadow Falls. It’s about to threaten everything she holds dear…and bring her closer to her destiny

 

 

Ok, so this is the second book in the Shadow Falls series. I really liked the first one, but that might just be because I enojoy paronormal books, so I bought the second. Now a lot of people don't like this series, or they love it, which is weird. I like the book, but it's not as good as some other books i've read. I like the characters, but the whole book doesn't really have a porpose. Like, Twilight the porpose was them to find a way to be togather, Tiger's Curse was to find a way to break the curse. This one just really doesn't have one. All that really happens is small problems they have to over come. The problem with Fredricka coming back to camp, not htat huge. Derek wanting to be togather for real, not that big either. I like the book, but having to sit there and read boring pages with Kylie sitting there on the computer or eating by herself because her friends were pissed at her just kinda killed my nerves. I like Lucas, I think he brightens the whole book up, even though he doesn't come in tell about halfway in or more. I mean, it's a good book, i'm not dissing it or anything, I just think it's a little over used. I love paranormal romance books, it's pretty much the only thing i'll read, but some story lines are just a little over used. But all in all, i'm pretty glad I can call it mine, and can't wait for Taken at Dusk.

Elixir by Hilary Duff

Guess what! I'm an idiot. I'm so very sorry for not blogging. But I really haven't been reading, you know summer and all, but I shall try to do reveiws on books I have read in the past. So here goes...

Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent Washington DC politician, she has grown to be a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a career that allows her to travel to the most exotic parts of the world. But after Clea’s father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea’s photos begin to feature eerie, shadowy images of a strange and beautiful man—a man she has never seen before. When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father’s disappearance, and they discover the centuries old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that holds their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives—and their futures.

This book was OK. Not the best, not the worst. I thought it was very amazing when you could see Shay in her pictures and it was very sepenseful, but right after that I didn't like it as much. I got a little better and then it kinda went down hill. I was very surpised when I got around to looking at the author and it was Hilary Duff, I was all like WTF?! But it was really good. It's filled with shockers and suspense. I liked the whole past lives thing. All in all it was a good read and I give it a 6. (<.< shortese review ever, guess I need to start doing these more often eh?)

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

I'm so sorry that it's been a month or so since a blogged but as I said I was grounded, but I shall continue now.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder—much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace’s world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . . .

Ok freaking love this book (yes Ima say it again). My old fabulous teacher Mrs. Taylor, made us watch a book pass thingy, on it. They made it seem kinda dumb, but I gave it a chance. And it was amazing. I loved pretty much every one, from Clary the main chicka, to the amazingly amazing high warlock of Brooklyn Magnus (CHAIRMAN MEOW TOO). It was a whole other would and it was amzaing. The shadow hunters were cool too, I liked Alec even though he was a huge ass to Clary, I still love him. Isabelle pisses me off alot, but she gets better. Jace is a HUGE ass, but I f*cking love him, he's on my boyfriend list too. Amazing book and series. I've read the first three and started the fourth, but something pissed me of during the first 50 pages and Istopped. I have never stopped a book unless I had good reason so I'm rereading them. Can't wait to get City of Lost Souls. :D P.S to Melanie, go read it fool! You have my copy at your house! Stop reading Harry Potter again and read City of Bones >:O!

Sorry

Hey my blog followers, sorry I haven't blogged, but im grounded. I still am, so my next blog wont be till like May 15th. So yeah sorry I haven't blooged but i'll try to as soon as a I can.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move. Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

So I finished this book last night. And it took me a while to get into it, like it took me a while to get into. But I liked it once Daniel started paying attention to her. Which was like 100 pages from the end so I was just like -_-, that was my face I'm for real. But I really liked Luce, and I LOVED her name. Lucinda, how freaking awesome is that? I thought it was pretty cool that she had, had past lives, but she didn't like it. So I was just like wtf. But I am so upset with myself for liking Cam. So upset, you have no idea. So, yea I own this book and I would recommend reading it, but prepare yourself for a slow start.



Just some books I like.

I'm to tired to do a review, so i'll just leave you with some of my favorite book's covers and go finsh my book.


 

 









I could go on for a while, but I don't want to bore you to death, so here are some of my favorites.

Maximum Ride: The Angel Expriment by James Patterson

Max and her Flock—Fang, Iggy, Nudge, The Gasman (Gazzy), and Angel—are the results of a genetic experiment inflicted upon them from birth that made them recombinant DNA life-forms. Grafted with avian DNA, gifted with wings, and enhanced with the ability to fly, they are on the run from the scientists who made them. They are constantly tracked by lupine-human hybrids (Erasers) designed by the scientists to hunt them down with a childhood acquaintance of the Flock's, the newly-turned Eraser Ari, at their head. When Angel is kidnapped by the Erasers, it is up to the Flock to rescue her. As they embark on their mission, fleeing from Erasers at every point, they are also faced with the question of their origins. Ultimately, an even larger and more important mission emerges for Max alone to face—saving the world itself.

So I read this book last year, and I was going to read it again, but I got caught up in the House of Night books, so I haven't read it in a while. Things might be a little fuzzy. But I do remember I really liked it. I liked it so much I even asked the teacher if i could go to the town library when I finished each one. It was exciting from the start, with the Erasers kidnapping Angel. I loved Iggy, Nudge, and the Gasman. Angel is like my little girl, and Fang is the best of all. But Fang pissed me off during one of the other books so I will forever be mad at him till I figure out what happens in the last book. I really liked how they were a family, even though none of them are related besides Angel and Gazzy. I loved everything about this book, and I plan to reread the series soon.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

                       

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

So I got this book from my Dad on Christmas, and I was all like Dad I didn't want this book. So he was all like well, it was the only thing I could find at Walmart. I was just like, wow dad, wow. But anyway so every book I own I try to read. So I picked it up one night and didn't put it down. I read it none stop, till I was finished. I loved how everything was different. It was like the Keepers were on top instead of the humans. And how the guardians were like a big happy family. I loved almost everybody, Calla, Shay, Ansel, Bryn, Mason, and everybody else were so amazing. It was an amazing story. I'm not really sure which picture is the cover so I put them both, I have the one on the left, but I have seen people with the one on the right, so I don't know. I really liked this book and I love being able to call it mine.

The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong

All Chloe Saunders wants is a life like any normal teenager – the chance to get through school, make friends, and maybe meet a boy. But when she starts seeing ghosts, she knows that like will never be the same again. Soon the ghosts are everywhere, demanding her attention. When Chloe finally breaks down, she’s admitted to a group home for disturbed kids. At first Lyle House seems okay, but as she gets to know the other patients – charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek; obnoxious Tori; and Rae, who has a ‘thing’ for fire – Chloe begins to realise that something strange and sinister binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual ‘problem kid’ behaviour. And they’re about to discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home, either…

Ok so I know that almost all the books I have put on here I have been all, "I LOVED THIS BOOK!" but ima do it again I LOVED THIS BOOK! Like at the top of my favorites, it's that amazing. From her getting sent to Lyle to her running away with my man Derek, it's all amazing. I just love Chloe, from her always second guessing herself all the time to her wit and bravery. I love all the characters, Kelly did an amazing job on this one, I even thought the bitch of the story, Tori, was awesome. It was an action packed, mystery, with a little page turning romance. And I am so team Derek, but I didn't really get into him till like book two or three, so for this one I was team Simon, so woo go Simon, but sorry man but... GO DEREK YOU ARE MY MAN! Aw some book loved it as you can tell, so go find it at the library, or go buy it. Right now, or Chloe will send the corpses to come find you O.o!

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Evie would love to a normal teenage girl, but that’s hard to do when you’re capable of seeing past a paranormal’s glamours. Snatched up by an agency that specializes in ‘containing’ creatures such as werewolves, vampires, faeries, and gremlins, Evie leads a life far from normal. Things are not going as smoothly as one might hope at the agency, however, and Evie finds herself caught up in a power struggle between the faeries and the agency– the faeries have always been some of the most dangerous paranormals, and they’ve had enough. Not to mention, Evie’s also caught up in a love triangle with her gorgeous faerie ex, Reth, and Lend, a rare and mysterious young shape-shifter new to the agency.

This book was given to me by a friend, so I wasn't sure if it was worth me reading. But I LOVED it. I loved it so much I made Melanie read it. She LOVED it, and so she went and bought Supernaturally. We both loved it and can't wait for Endlessly to come out. I love Evie so much, she is right up there with all my main girls like Bella, Katniss, Clary, Chloe, and Laurel. Shes like the funny one, always cracking jokes, even though she hates being at the agency. And Lend, god amazing is all I have to say. I have a list of book boyfriends, and guess who's on there. LEND! Gosh, Kiersten's way of writing is so awesome. You keep writing girl, and I'll keep reading.

Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

Born at Midnight is one of my new favorite books. It's a newbie on my shelf, but it better feel privileged to be on my shelf. But anyway, I love it. I'm really into the whole paranormal books. So Born at Midnight was totally worth the ten dollars. I love how Kylie's parents are going thourgh everyday divorce. Most books they either have the perfect little family or it's just a single parent. Plus, Kylie is so funny. I thought is was hilarious when she kicked perry out for turning into a cat, to get into their dorm/home/cabin/ thingy. And she did a sex check on him, SO funny. Anyway I love everyone to my main girl Kylie to even the little guys like Perry. Amazing book can't wait to get Awake at Dawn!

Wings by Aprilynne Pike

 

Fifteen-year-old Laurel has lived her whole life on her family's land near Orick, California and the Redwood National and State Parks, where she was home schooled by her hippie parents, Sarah and Mark. So when she moves to Crescent City, California to attend public school, Laurel has some adjustments to make. The reason for them to move is because of her father buying a bookstore, which was always a dream for the both of her parents. While she misses being outdoors all the time, she's getting along pretty well at her new school and soon befriends David, a handsome and sweet boy who understands Laurel and her strict vegan diet. Things are looking up until a bump between Laurel's shoulders sprouts into a giant flower on her back.

AMAZING! This is one of the few books that I actually went out and bought. I loved how she is a faerie. Freaking blew my mind. But what was good about the whole faerie thing was it was so different then what most people think of fairies, I mean come on, they are plants in the book! Amazingly amazing. But it was kinda boring for a few chapters, cause she was just trying to fit in at school cause shes never been to public school. BUT, then David comes in being all helpful, like wanna sit with me? So Laural's all like sure! Anyway getting off track I love everything about this book, go read it, right now, GO!

 WOO! TAMANI ALL THE WAY! Whoever did this pic props to you!

Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck

 

When Kelsey takes a two-week temp job at a small traveling circus after graduation, she's excited about the idea of taking care of a tiger. But not as excited as she is when the tiger is sold to a very wealthy Indian man, Mr. Kadam, and she's asked to travel with him -- at least until he makes it to a nature preserve. But there's a reason Kelsey feels so bonded with the tiger. She's somehow broken a small part of a curse: Three hundred years ago, an Indian prince named Dhiren was cursed to live as a tiger -- but in Kelsey's presence, he can reveal his true self. He's free to be a man for 24 minutes of every day and needs Kelsey's help to break the rest of the curse. Kelsey is somehow favored by the Hindu goddess Durga who sends them on one of four dangerous tasks.

OK, first off I freaking L-O-V-E this book. This is one of my top series, ever. I love everything about it, from the freaking amazing main character Kelsey, to the Rajaram brothers. OK, back it up, hold on let me review it. It is kinda hard to get into for a while cause all Kelsey does at the beginning is do stuff at a circus and read to Ren. But hey, I'm all for it just being Kelsey and Ren, but he was a tiger the whole time and Kesley had know idea he was a guy. So I was just like OK, weird. But, other then that there was only one part I  didn't like, and when you get there your gonna be like OMG HOW COULD YOU, but I love it anyway. Go read it, its amazing its an overall 9, and if you know me I don't give high ratings a lot, to be honest I don't think I've ever gave a book a 10. Anyway love it!

Wake by Lisa McMann

 

Wake  is a novel by Lisa McMann centered on seventeen-year-old Janie Hannagann's involuntary power which thrusts her into others' dreams. The novel follows Janie through parts of her young adulthood, focusing mainly on the events that occur during her senior year, in which she meets an enigmatic elderly woman, and becomes involved with Cabel, a loner and purported drug-dealer at Fieldridge High School. The book is set up in a diary like form, specifying the date and time at which each event occurs.

Wake is a very good start to a good series. But, with that said there are some parts that are very confusing. Like I didn't understand how one day Janie and Cabel never talked, and the next day they sat together on the bus and it was like he knew she could enter peoples dreams. Freaked me and Melanie out (Melanie is my go to person for books, so her opinion or thoughts might pop up sometimes). I really liked how it was so different to most books coming out now, but at the same time I couldn't stand how it was in a diary. No offence to any author how writes like the book is journal/diary, but I just can't stand books like that. I always feel like I'm missing something, like they didn't write it down. But anyway, I really liked the series once I got into it. Its a over all 6.

Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Young teenagers are selected to enter a four-year period transformation to a vampyre and marked with an the unfilled mark of a crescent moon. Those are sent to their local Houses of Night, private schools directed by vampyres, specialized in helping the adolescents, called fledglings, survive the Change. Young fledgling Zoey is unusual: unlike other normal fledglings, she bears a filled mark, a sign that the goddess of vampyres, Nyx, has bestowed a great destiny onto her, but she also has to deal with normal high school girl issues:school, boyfriends and the evil popular girl waiting just around the corner.

The House of Night series is one of my favorites. Marked is about Zoey turning into a unique fledgling. She has to leave her home and live at the Tulsa House of Night with all the other fledglings. Great story plot, I think. Lots of people say its slow getting into it and I agree, but don't put it down. After a while you can't put it down. I absolutely love all the characters, from the heroine Zoey, to all her new wonderful fledgling friends, they all have a spot in my heart. If your looking for a different kind of vampire book this is the one for you. I love this book and it's a great kick off to a wonderful series.

BOOM! That was my first review, I know kinda sucky but you'll learn to love them. I hope you liked it ^_^
