Fallen by Lauren Kate

"Some Angels are Destined to Fall


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." -Book Cover

Lucinda Price, Luce, saw shadows for as long as she can remember, she saw doctors and took pills her entire life 'cause they thought she was crazy, but she's not. Last summer there was a terrible accident, a boy she knew died, she's doesn't remember exactly what happened, but one thing is sure, everyone thinks she's guilty. That's how she ended up at Sword & Cross, some kind of reform school for freaky teens.

There are two boys especially attracting Luce's attention. Cam an easy out-going boy that was nice to her the very first second they met, always going out of his way to make her happy, but all of it seems weird. What is he hiding? What are his intentions? Daniel. This guy really gets to Luce, she can't stop thinking of him, dreams about him, but the guy is totally rude to her. Hot and Cold most of the time and leaves you wondering what the hell is his problem?

I LOVED this book. I think the story is very well written, the characters are precisely drawn with their individual specifics and the atmosphere is beyond!

Let's make this clear, this is NOT an action-packed book, if that's what you are expecting you might be disappointed. This is a book where the psychology part of the story is very important, the book felt like a crescendo. Events piles up until the grand final, and let me tell you, this is one great final! I knew the book was about fallen angels for reading it on other blogs, but I NEVER saw the ending blow coming. It was so surprising that I feel like I'm gonna read the book again to re-live all the events from a different perspective.

Dark, seductive, mysterious. Fallen is a fantastic and unforgettable love story. I am dying to read the next book, there are so many questions unanswered and I have to wait until September 2010? There is one word to describe that Lauren Kate ; Torture!
I want more of that story, may Torment release sooner pretty please!

Waiting on Wednesday - The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong

Waiting on Wednesday



This meme is hosted by Breaking the Spine.

The book I choose this week release only in a few month (May 2010), but the first 2 in the series really left me hanging and I can't wait to read the final instalment in that series.

The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong


Product Description (From Bookdepository.com):

The nail-biting climax to Kelley Armstrong's bestselling Darkest Powers trilogy Chloe Saunders is fifteen and would love to be normal. Unfortunately, Chloe happens to be a genetically engineered necromancer who can raise the dead without even trying. She and her equally gifted (or should that be 'cursed'?) friends are now running for their lives from the evil corporation that created them. As if that's not enough, Chloe is struggling with her feelings for Simon, a sweet-tempered sorcerer, and his brother Derek, a not so sweet-tempered werewolf. And she has a horrible feeling she's leaning towards the werewolf...Definitely not normal.

Ravenous by Sharon Ashwood

"One kiss is all it takes to lose your soul…



Holly Carver is a small-time witch who busts ghosts for tuition money, but ends up wrangling a demon when a haunted house job goes bad.



Her Undead business associate, Alessandro Caravelli, suspects the demon is somebody's not-so-secret weapon. The supernatural community is at war, and Holly's unpredictable magic holds the key to hell's doorway. Soon Holly is on everyone's "must have" list, and not in a good way.



Alessandro wants her for more than magic. A lover with six centuries of experience, the vampire is walking seduction, but he's also a predator. Every moment he spends guarding Holly, every second he spends falling under her witch's spell, he becomes more and more of a threat himself. As Holly's sharp-tongued grandma warns her: vampires are like a box of rich chocolate—they seem so tempting, but over-indulgence is a killer…" - Book Cover

Before I get down the business I'd like to quote the very first sentence of the prologue 'cause it made me laugh out loud: "Being the evil Undead wasn't fun anymore. For one thing, it was increasely hard to get a library card".
Ravenous takes places in the a world where all the supernatural creatures are out of the closest and lives among humans. Vampires, werewolves, ghouls, hellhounds, witch are all at the party. Honestly after reading the first few chapters I was scared to feel strangle by the overload of supernatural creatures involved but it wasn't the case. Every creatures fits perfectly within the mosaic Ravenous is, hat's off to Sharon for pulling this off.

To make a short resume, Holly is a witch, she's working with Alessandro, a vampire, to get rid of ghost nuisance, but she gets involved in more then she bargained for. A demon is in town and she's got to do everything she can to put it back to hell before it destroys everything on it's path.

I really love the characters Ashwood created because they are all so real, they have shady past with their very own demons (literally and figuratively), their weaknesses and their dreams. Holly has some major problem with her magic due to some events she lived as a child, but has no memory of what happened and it's interesting to see her struggle and evolved through the entire book. Her love life is also very complicated, which adds a little spice to the story!

Ravenous is a great debut novel, if you haven't put your hands on it and you love Urban Fantasy with a spoon of romance and a touch of sexuality you'll love it, so go get it!

Waiting on Wednesday - Succubus Shadows by Richelle Mead

Waiting on Wednesday



This meme is hosted by Breaking the Spine.




Succubus Shadows - Release March 30, 2010

Synopsis from Richelle's website:

Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals—all child’s play to a succubus like her.



Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend’s wedding is a different story. Georgina isn’t sure which is worse—that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina’s roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there’s Simone, the new succubus in town, who’s intent on corrupting Seth.

But the real danger lies in the mysterious force that’s visiting her thoughts, trying to draw her into a dark, otherworldly realm. Sooner or later, Georgina knows she’ll be too weak to resist. And when that happens, she’ll discover who she can trust, who she can’t—and that Hell is far from the worst place to spend eternity…
 
I love this series to death, why is March 30th so far away?

Interview & Giveaway with Rachel Caine

Bonjour!
I am really honored to introduce you to the fantastique Author of multiple great series, including The Morganville Vampires, The Weather Warden series and the latest, Outcast Season.
In the honor of the recent Fade Out release (November 3rd, 2009), Rachel generously accepted my interview request =)

Let the fun begin!


Anyone who doesn't know the Morganville Vampires series most have been hiding in a grotto for the last 4 years, but how would you describe your series for these unique readers *winks*?

Oh, I'm sure there are loads of people (outside of grottos!) who haven't heard of the series, and that's perfectly fine! I'm delighted to explain.

When bright sixteen-year-old Claire is sent to Morganville's Texas Prairie University, she expects a lot of things -- homesickness, hard course loads, loneliness. But it's much worse than that. Claire's introduction to Morganville comes at the hands of the local Mean Girls, and gets worse from there, because Morganville isn't just any isolated town. It's owned and run by vampires. And now that Claire knows, she's a permanent resident, along with her new friends Shane, Eve and Michael, who allow her into their misfit group for protection. Someone in Morganville has plans for Claire, though, and all her new friends have secrets. Intro to Morganville is a pass/fail class ... and if you fail, you die.

In this Era of Vampire Romance, where innocent young women fall for the oh so gorgeous and forbidden vampire male, how did the idea of vampires holding humans as hostages in a secluded town came to you?

To be honest, I didn't want to do what everybody else was doing, and I'm always more of an action/adventure writer. While there's romance in the books, the vampires aren't necessarily the ones involved in it ... my vampires are more unpredictable than that. While they can be charming and friendly and compelling, they can just as easily be deadly.

The idea itself came from a combination of a couple of ideas -- a tiger preserve and the Mafia. The vampires of my world are a lot like tigers -- deadly, beautiful, and not necessarily safe even when they're playing nice. The Mafia component came from my idea of how traditional vampires would relate to humans, at their most polite and civil -- still more like nobility demanding services than friends, and "you won't like us when we're angry." So the humans pay tribute to them -- in work, in money, and in taxes collected by the Bloodmobile.

If you had to pick you favorite character from the series who would it be and why?

I have a fantastic time with all the characters, but I think Shane has got the most layers, and that's always extra fun, from a writing perspective.

Rachel Caine isn't the name your parents chose for you. How did you chose your pen name?

I started out writing under my maiden name (Roxanne Longstreet), but my books didn't exactly burn up the bestseller lists ... so after a while, I changed my name to Roxanne Conrad (my married name) to try to restart my career, but again, those books weren't quite hitting right, either. Rachel Caine came about because I needed a third try, and the initials are the same -- "Rachel" is the name of a very good friend of mine from college, and "Caine" just sounded cool. :)

Now off to some fun and random questions!

What's your favorite season/weather? (not very subtle reference to weather warden series lol)

I'd have to say that fall is my favorite time of the year. I wish we had more of a fall season here in Texas; it's mostly a couple of days jammed in between blazing summer and winter. But I do enjoy it.

Although I admit I love a great thunderstorm. Tornados, not so much. But lightning and thunder are fantastic.

How did you end up with 2 iguanas as pets?

My husband is an avid herpetologist -- he's always liked reptiles, particularly lizards. I didn't have any experience of them when we got married, but I quickly fell in love with them, especially the iguanas. They're very smart, and wonderful pets. Mine are more than 15 years old now!

A bit morbid, but if you had to choose, what would be written on your grave mark?

STILL BUSY WRITING.

What would you consider the most silliest thing you ever did?

I'll give you the second silliest, because the first silliest thing is too silly. I once attended a fantastic Come as Your Favorite Classical Music Composition Party, as one of the three Fountains of Rome. (Our dates were the Pines of Rome.) I wore a gigantic fountain ON MY HEAD. Now that is silly.

Thanks you very much for your time Rachel! It was a pleasure to meet you =)

Thank YOU for the opportunity!

If you wanna know more about her work, please visit Rachel's website!


Lucky you, Rachel very generously offered a copy of the NEW 2-in-1 edition of Morganville Vampires #1 and #2 - GLASS HOUSES and THE DEAD GIRLS’ DANCE.
