Covet



Title: Covet(The Clann #2)
Author: Melissa Darnell
Expected publication: October 1, 2012
Source: Publisher through Netgalley
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Pages: 488
Rating:



Goodreads review: Dangerous to be together. Painful to be apart.Savannah Colbert knows she broke up with Tristan Coleman for the right reasons. Most of all, to keep from killing him with her new vampire abilities. But try telling her heart. Now, lost in a sea of hostile Clann faces, Sav tries to come to terms with what she's becoming and what that means for her future. And that someone is doing their best to bully her into making a terrible mistake.
Tristan can't believe Sav won't even talk to him. If being apart is her decision, fine. Just don't expect him to honor it. But even as he prepares to fight for the girl he loves, forces beyond their control take them both in directions neither could have foreseen or prepared for.
A reckoning is coming…and not everyone will survive.
Fate's thoughts: I'm usually worried that the second book of a series will be bad, but this book was great. It carried on where the first book left off. This book was filled with action and of course we cant forget the romance. In the first book Savannah was always getting protected by Tristan, but in this book she was strong for herself. She had to deal with her body changing and her break-up, but she was still strong. I also grew to like Tristan even more, if that's possible. He never gave up on his relaitionship with Savannah. Although it did annoy me how throughout the book he strung another girl along. I also loved the best friend, Anne, she was definetly kick-ass in this book. her Ex-boyfriend Ron turns out to know about the Clann. We were also introduced to a few new characters.  The Clann and the Vampires also had a lot going on, which definetly kept the book interesting. The ending was satisfying, but at the same time left me dying for more. I can not wait until the next installation of this series.
  This copy was provided by the publisher though Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.

Eve

Genre: Post apocalyptic
Pages: 336
Rating:
                                                                                                                                                      
Goodreads review: The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her.
Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.
Fate's thoughts: This book did not live up to the hype. It was a great, fast paced read but it didn't live up to the hype. There are a couple of books that i can name that Eve reminded me of. Once i started reading this book i was hooked, but when i put it down i wasn't really urged to finish it. I felt slightly disappointed. I recommend it to anyone that wants a good quick read.

Forgotten

Title: Forgotten
Author: Cat Patrick
Published: May 1st 2012
Genre: Paranormal
Pages:288
Rating:
Goodreads review:Each night at precisely 4:33 am, while sixteen-year-old London Lane is asleep, her memory of that day is erased. In the morning, all she can "remember" are events from her future. London is used to relying on reminder notes and a trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a new boy at school enters the picture. Luke Henry is not someone you'd easily forget, yet try as she might, London can't find him in her memories of things to come.
When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it's time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.

Fate's thoughts: This book was great. It was original and new. When i started this book i was intrigued but i had little expectation. As the book passed i enjoyed it more and more. My only complaint is that, other than the main character, the other characters weren't realistic. Other that that, i loved this book, it was a great break of fresh idea.

                                                                     

Blue Bloods(blue bloods #1)

Title: Blue bloods
Author: Melissa DE la Cruz
Published: April 25, 2006
Genre: Vampires
Pages: 302
Rating: 3 and 1/2 out of 5
                                                     Goodreads review: When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, it carried on board the men and women who would shape America: Miles Standish; John Alden; Constance Hopkins. But some among the Pilgrims were not pure of heart; they were not escaping religious persecution. Indeed, they were not even human. They were vampires.The vampires assimilated quickly into the New World. Rising to levels of enormous power, wealth, and influence, they were the celebrated blue bloods of American society.
The Blue Bloods vowed that their immortal status would remain a closely guarded secret. And they kept that secret for centuries. But now, in New York City, the secret is seeping out. Schuyler Van Alen is a sophomore at a prestigious private school. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapated mansion. Schuyler is a loner...and happy that way. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw food and she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a popular girl from her school is found dead... drained of all her blood. Schuyler doesn't know what to think, but she wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?
Fate's thoughts: I honestly enjoyed this book. It put a cool twist on the vampire idea, which was nice. I don't have much thought on it. There is a love triangle, and i am team Oliver. The only reasons i gave this book 3 and 1/2 stars instead of 5 was that one, it was a bit too slow and eventless for me and two, i would have preferred it if it was first person form Schuyler's Pov. However i will be reading the next installment in the series.

Taken by storm(raised by werewolves #3)



Title: Taken by storm(raised by werewolves #3)
Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Published: May 22, 2012
Genre: Werewolves
Pages: 314
Rating:
Goodreads review: Bryn knows first-hand that being the alpha of a werewolf pack means making hard decisions, and that being human makes things a thousand times worse. She's prepared to give up her humanity, but the wolf who promised to Change her is waiting - though for what, Bryn doesn't know. Still human, she must take her place in the werewolf Senate, the precarious democracy that rules the North American packs. Standing side by side with werewolves who were ancient long before she was ever born is enough of a challenge, but Bryn soon learns that the Senate has been called to deal with a problem: the kind of problem that involves human bodies, a Rabid werewolf, and memories that Bryn, Chase, and the rest of their pack would rather forget. With bodies stacking up and political pressure closing in from all sides, Bryn and her pack are going to have to turn to old enemies and even older friends for help - especially when it starts to look like this time, the monster might be one of their own
 Fate's thoughts: This book was amazing. I wont really talk about it in detail because i don't want to spoil it. The beginning was a bit slow.... but it got better. When we got to the middle, there were so many twists thrown at me that half the time my jaw was on the floor. I was never able to guess what was going to happen next, which was great. The ending might have killed me a little. Sooo much sadness. It was really open ended and left questions. Please don't let this be the end, i need more.         

Nevermore(Nevermore #1)

Title:Nevermore(nevermore #1)
Author:Kelly Craegh
Published:August 31, 2012
Genre:Paranormal Romance
Pages:534
Rating:
Goodreads review: Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.
Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.
As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.
His life depends on it.
Fate's thoughts: This book was original and fresh. It was like nothing i have ever read before. At the beginning Isobel is the typical stereotype cheerleader and she's not very happy when she gets paired with Varen Nethers for a school project. Varen is cold, sharp tongued and mysterious. He also carries around his journal. When Isobel gets a glimpse at the contents of said journal, she's intrigued. She slowly starts losing the cheerleader act and gets closer to Varen. And.... the story takes off from there. If i haven't already mentioned it, this book is amazing. The only reason it gets four stars, is that it was a bit too slow for my taste. I can't till i get my hands on the next installment in this great series.
