Untamed (House of Night, Book 4) - P.C. and Kristin Cast

Description~

Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you.

Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an undisputed expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a tight-knit group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. And the worst part is, she knows it’s her own fault. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead, unMarked, and unable to stop bickering with each other. So who can blame her for befriending the House of Night’s newest transfer student, the majorly hot Olympic archer, James Stark?

Meanwhile, Neferet has declared a war on humans after it appears that the People of the Faith have murdered two vampyres. But Aphrodite’s latest visions show a world completely different from the High Priestess’s promises, a world full of violence, hatred, and darkness, all because of Zoey’s death—and the only way it seems she can prevent it from happening is to make things right with her friends. Zoey knows in her heart that fighting with humans is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened.

What can I say...I love these books. You know I was going to say this series is a guilty pleasure but really when you say that its almost about something that isnt 100% wonderful and it just kinda hits the sport at that certain time. But THESE books, I must say, always seem to hit my spot every time!

Ok, last we heard Zoeys friend were pissed at her for keeping so much back and she cheated on her uber hot, and now vamp, boyfriend Erik. Shes pretty much alone in every aspect so your a bit heartbroken as the story opens up. But boy do things change. We get a new student that ends up totally falling for Zoey...his name is James Stark! He is an archer vamp in training! He ends up rejecting the change and is super sad to see him leave...BUT of course he cant leave without a kiss from ZOEY! HELLO?!?!?! Ya...we end up seeing him later and I do know he stays in the storyline for quite some time (which Im totally excited about).

The cool thing about this story is that so much shit hits the fan! Zoey starts getting attacked by these crows and later talks to her grandmother about it. Turns out the crows are like half human half crow and Nefert is on their side. Shes trying to take over and in an odd premonition from our human?/vamp? Aphrodite, we see a FEW ways that Zoey is going to...DIE?!?! GASP!!!!

O...M...G...so you thought that was the only drama going on? Well Erik comes back to help teach one of Zoeys classes and boy do things get confusing and a bit odd when he ends up kissing her in front of the entire class! Its clear things are still hot and heavy between the two but Erik seem to cant find a way to forgive Zoey for her infidelities!

The end...SPOILER ALERT...is that Nefert and these bird people take over and Zoey and the gang have to end up running for their lives and leaving the school! So now its a race against time to try to fix all thats wrong. Will Zoeys love life ever get fixed? Will the gang and Zoey defeat Neferet once and for all...? And will Stark coming back play with Zoeys head?!?! OH IM SURE IT WILL! Epp! These books are yummy to the taste and dont get fooled by them being YA...they seem to fill every need! ;o)

I give this book a total of...

Breezing Through

Storm Born

Storm Borm by Richelle Mead


Just typical. No love life to speak of for months, then all at once, every creature in the Otherworld wants to get in your pants...

Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. Mercenary, yes, but a girl's got to eat. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy--one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it.

Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. But with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her...


So like I said I hope everyone is enjoying themselves this weekend and like always Happy Reading!

Hey guys! Just an quick note to go on over to Breezing Through and check out Ames and my review on The Vampire Diaries - The Awakening & The Struggle.

When she meets handsome, haunted Stefan, he struggles to resist her because of his dark secret. Stefan is torn by guilt over his past, and mindful of the threat that his vengeful brother, Damon, poses to anyone Stefan gets close to. Soon Elena finds herself torn between two brothers—and in terrible danger.
The Struggle

Buddy Review - Smooth Talking Stranger - Lisa Kleypas - Breezing Through

Description~

Ella Varner grew up with a troublesome mother and an insecure sister, but she has managed to come out of it reasonably sane, with a good (if vegan) boyfriend, Dane, and a job as an advice columnist. All of this gets turned upside down when her sister disappears and sticks Ella with her newborn, Luke. Determined to find Luke's father, Ella tracks down a likely suspect—millionaire playboy Jack Travis. The encounter results in Travis and Ella unexpectedly engaged in an irrepressible attraction. Meanwhile, Ella grows fond of baby Luke and fears what will happen when Tara returns. As Ella grapples with conflicting desires, she learns some important lessons about love and trust.
