Charmfall Blog Tour: Our Favorite Things Stop No.5

Help me welcome Lily and Scout

Hi, everyone! We’re Lily and Scout, the heroines of CHARMFALL, the third book in Chloe Neill’s The Dark Elite series. We have lots of opinions–especially about magic–but also about what is and is not cool. We’ve included a few of our favorite things below. Be sure to also check out CHARMFALL, which hits shelves on January 3, 2012. Thanks!

No. 5 – Art History

Hi, there! It’s Lily. Like I’ve mentioned before, I love to draw. I also really like learning about painters and other artists from the past. It’s interesting to think about how art has changed over time, from simple sketches to marble busts to crazy modern art that seems to be mostly dead stuff in tanks (but maybe I’m wrong)? Maybe I can find a werewolf to pose for me someday… 1

– Michaelangelo Buonarotti. 2 – J.W. Waterhouse. 3 – Grant Wood. 4- Henry Moore

BOOK 2 EVE SERIES

ANNA CAREY

RELEASE DATE

JULY 3,2012

SUMMARY

Sixteen years have passed since a deadly virus wiped out most of the Earth’s population. After learning of the terrifying part she and her classmates were fated to play in the rebuilding of New America, eighteen-year-old Eve fled to the wilds and Califia, a haven for women determined to live outside the oppressive rule of the king of New America. However, her freedom came at a price: she was forced to leave Caleb, the boy she loves, wounded and alone at the city gates. Eve quickly learns that Califia may not be as safe as it seems and soon finds herself in the City of Sand and the palace of the king. There she uncovers the real reason he was so intent on her capture, and the unbelievable role he intends her to fill. When she is finally reunited with Caleb, they will enact a plan as daring as it is dangerous. But will Eve once again risk everything—her freedom, her life—for love?

Brimming with danger and star-crossed romance, and featuring a vivid dystopian landscape, this electrifying follow-up to Eve, which bestselling author Lauren Kate called “a gripping, unforgettable adventure—and a fresh look at what it means to love” is sure to appeal to fans who crave the high-stakes adventure of The Hunger Games and the irresistible love story of Romeo and Juliet

THE IMMORTALS

BOOK 1 BLOOD OF EDEN SERIES

JULIE KAGAWA

RELEASE DATE

APRIL 24,2012

SUMMARY

You will kill. The only question is when.

In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.

Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.

Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.

WOW THE SUMMARY SOUNDS AWESOME CAN'T WAIT TO PICK UP THIS BOOK.

IRON KING

BOOK 4 THE IRON FEY SERIES

JULIE KAGAWA

8.

HUNT THE MOON

BOOK 5 CASSANDRA PALMER SERIES

KAREN CHANCE

I think those two years I was waiting for this book where worth the wait. Like always Cassie likes to keep us on our toes so we never know what she up to or whats going to turn up. She seriously has alot of luck because the situation she gets in well lets just say I'm surprise she's still alive, but of course that's why we love her so much she fierce and she totally kicks ass. Though i think if she and Dory got in a fight Dory would win. Sorry but I'm a even bigger Dory fan then Cassie.

7.

STARCROSSED

BOOK 1 STARCROSSED SERIES

JOSEPHINE ANGELINI

BEST YA BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR !!!!

The plot was just amazing there was twist and it left you guessing through out the whole book who was the good guy and who was the bad guy and the ending was such a cliffhanger, and i truly hate cliffhanger because most are so corny and stupid but this book was everything but. Those who hate YA or are tired of reading same old same old this book is for you there is nothing ordinary about the plot or the characters.

6.

ARCHANGELS BLADE

BOOK 4 GUILD HUNTER SERIES

NALINI SINGH

First let me say I hated Dmitri the way he behaved and treated Elena made me want to kick his ass,but after reading this book I fell in love with Dmitri and he truly isn't such a bad person he's just misunderstood and I'm really lad he has honor back again.

5.

ALIEN IN THE FAMILY

BOOK 3 KATT SEIRES

GINI KOCH

This is my favorite book so far in the series, and the reason why is because this book has everything action/killing/aliens/hot men/bachelorette party/wedding/and so much more. Gini makes me feel like I'm actually in the book going through what the chaarcters are going and thats what makes Gini such a great author.

4.

PALE DEMON

BOOK 9 THE HALLOWS SERIES

KIM HARRISON

By far best book in the series.

Rachel has just grown so much and now I feel like

she's more stable and her relationship with ivy has finally reached a stable point.

Don't let me forget Jenk's he just gets more awesome if I could pick a psychic it would be Jenk's.

3.

MAGIC SLAYS

BOOK 5 KATE DANIELS SERIES

ILONA ANDREWS

This book just left me wanting more. I swear I have Kate and Curran fever because I never get tired of reading this series. When ever I'm in a reading slump I just pick up one of Ilona Andrews books and it bring me back up .

P.S. Ilona

I don't know if I'm going to be able to wait for Andreas book without going crazy it just seems so farrr awa

2.

TREACHERY IN DEATH

BOOK 1,050 JK BOOK 32 IN DEATH SERIES

J.D. ROBB

Best series ever no words to describe Eve and Roarke there relationship make me jealous. Can't praise this series enough I love every single book some more then others but this series never gets boring.

My favorite character in the series is Roarke can;t praise hi m enough. Roarke is truly my Dream man he's Tall,lean,blue eye with dark hair,rich, and with that accent whats not to worship. He worships the grown Eve stands on and if that does not describe the sexiest perfect ,an ever than what does?

AGAIN I COULDN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN TREACHERY IN DEATH AND ARCHANGELS BLADE SO I PICK BOTH AS MY # 2 BOOKS. SORRY BUT I LOVE BOTH BOOKS THE SAME FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.

ARCHANGELS CONSORT

BOOK 3 GUILD HUNTER SEIRES

NALINI SINGH

I Hated Angel books before I read this book but after reading it I totally changed my view on Angels. The way Nalini describes them it is a total twist on how most people take o Angels is which is refreshing because reading the same old same old angel book gets boring.

Raphael he's just so sexy he's also dark haired blue eyed. Sigh.. perfection.

THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ THIS YEAR WAS

DRUM ROLL...

THE GUARDIAN

BOOK 22 THE DARK HUNTER SERIES

SHERRILYN KENYON

BEST BOOK I EVER READ.

This book took me in an emotional roller coaster I have never ever ever cried so much reading a book and I have read it more then 2 times because I just can't get enough of this book that i have to go back and reread it and ever time it makes me cry. Seth is truly my favorite characters from he dark hunter series and if there was ever anyone who deserved happiness it was him and fort hose who havent read this book but read Acheron well lets just say Acheron had it easy. I just wish there would be more about Seth and Lydia they need there owns series.

Early Review Dreaming Awake By Gwen Hayes

DREAMING AWAKE

BOOK 2 FALLING UNDER SERIES

GWEN HAYES

RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 3,2012

RATING

4/5

Summary

Theia and Hayden are finally together and Hayden can finally show Theia how much he loves her, but it won't be as simple as that because Hayden knows that he and Theia can't be together because his mom is still out there and if Hayden ever plans to have a future with Theia he has to destroy his mom. Hayden finds out that is not as simple as he thinks to destroy his mother because Mara also has a plan of her own.

Thoughts

Dreaming Awake is a book that will make you feel mad/happy/frustrated and sad.

The thing that I like most about the book was that its not you perfect ever after sort of book. I'm not saying that the Theia and Hayden don't end up together all I'm saying is that there ending wasn't perfect and I'm glad because life is not about having a perfect ending but about being with the ones you love no matter what. Hopefully there a third book because poor Amelia she also deserves some happiness.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation TRAILER

OMG THIS MOVIE LOOKS BADASS!

Review: Lost in Time By Melissa De La Cruz

LOST IN TIME

BOOK 6 IN BLUE BLOOD SERIES

MELISSA DE LA CRUZ

RATING

4/5

HOLY SHIT! THE ENDING LEFT ME SPEECHLESS.

This story was written in 3 person point of view.

First point of view

Schuyler and Jack have gone to Egypt to try to find Catherine of Siena and to find the remaining Gate to hell and protect it from the Nephilem and Croatan aka Silver blood. It's not so easy because first Schuyler has to survive being taken by demons and Jack has to survive fighting Mimi.

Second point of view

Alegra Schuyler mom and also known as Gabriela. In her point of view we see how she met Ben (Schuyler dad) and we see the reason behind why she stopped loving Michael and why she didn't bond with him and instead married Ben.

Third point of view

Mimi and Oliver travels to the Egypt to find Helda the Queen of the Dead. She needs to go into hell to free Kingsley and the only way in is to get Helda's permission,but she will have to sacrifice Oliver to free Kingsley. Will she be able to betray the only person who has stood by her and has become a friend during these dark times or will she give up Kingsley?

My final thought where that the book was really good, but the only problem that I had was that the book was to short I wished each character would have gotten more of a storyline because it just seemed to short but the ending was such a cliffhanger and I'm so made that I have to wait now a years or more for "Gates of Paradise".

The trees swallowed her brother whole. And Jenny was there to see it. Years later, when she returns to the woods where Tom was taken to say good-bye at last, she finds herself lured into a world where stunning beauty masks the most treacherous of evils, and strange and dangerous creatures await—creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with allegiances that shift as much as his moods. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy’s murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy’s boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Kathleen Peacock’s thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.

MARCH 1,2012

I slowly opened my eyes. The sun speared its first bright rays of golden orange into the sky and I leapt from the cliff, with the sorrowful knowledge that no matter what the outcome, at least part of me would die that day...

Violet Eden is dreading her seventeenth birthday dinner. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. The one bright spot is that Lincoln will be there. Sexy, mature and aloof, he is Violet’s idea of perfection. But why does he seem so reluctant to be anything more than a friend?

After he gives her the world’s most incredible kiss – and then abandons her on her front doorstep – Violet is determined to get some answers. But nothing could have prepared her for Lincoln’s explanation: he is Grigori – part angel and part human – and Violet is his eternal partner.

Without warning, Violet’s world is turned upside down. She never believed in God, let alone angels. But there’s no denying the strange changes in her body ... and her feelings for Lincoln. Suddenly, she can’t stand to be around him. Luckily, Phoenix, an exiled angel, has come into her life. He’s intense and enigmatic, but at least he never lied to her.

As Violet gets caught up in an ancient battle between dark and light, she must choose her path. The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity.

Whoever is controlling the Dead army has taken her brother as well. If Eleanor is going to find him, she’ll have to venture into the lab of the notorious Spirit-Hunters, who protect the city from supernatural forces.

Can't say it enough Gini is a genius!

I'm not big on quoting Scenes but this was just to epic not to quote

"Kill 'em all and let god sort it out"Page 345

Another great installment by Gini this book just left me breathless. Alot of shit went down in the book first Kitty had her baby Jamie OMG the baby just seem to cute to be real. It was not easy for Kitty during labor she almost died and Jeff almost went ballistic but some how Kitty pulled through. The baby also left some lasting effects, and now Kitty doesn't only have to worry about having a new baby but she's become wolverine with boobs and no one knows if Kitty body going to take the changes or if Kitty's new body will eventually kill her. Kitty's trying to looking in the bright side that now she doesn't have to diet to get her post baby bod back.

Thats not the only problem that the crew have to face because like always theres always someone trying to kill Kitty and her crew and she has to figure out who? what?where and when ? before they not only kill Jeff,and James but before they kidnap her baby as well.

Charley gets woken up in the middle of the night by her best friend Cookie. Charley doesn't know whats going on all she knows is thats its to early for anyone to be up until Cookie tells Charley that her friends Mimi has gone missing after talking to her about wanting to disappear.

Charley discovers that mores going on than what there telling her it all involves a missing person case that was 20 years ago and high school students who are all dying or disappearing. So Charley has to figure out whats going on before someone else dies including her. There's more going on also in charley life she has to find out where Reyes is before he dies ad goes back to hell.

I KNOW ITS NOT A PR OR UF BUT I LOVE COWBOYS I HAVE A WEEKNESS FOR THEM. IF YOU NEVER READ A WESTERN OR EROTIC SERIES YOU NEED TO READ THIS ONE. ITS SO MUCH MORE THEN JUST A EROTICA.

His rough touch makes her lose control…

In Sundance, Wyoming, you can't throw a boot without hitting a McKay cowboy, so Ben McKay is used to fading into the background. Except on weekends, when he's Bennett, imposing Dom at The Rawhide Club, surrounded by a bevy of female subs eager for the attention of his long…whip.

As for the curvy brunette eying him from across the room? He'll eat his Stetson if she's the experienced Domme she claims to be. Bennett offers her a deal—he'll let her call the shots for one night. But the next night he gets to prove to her how freeing it'll be when he takes the reins.

Ainsley Hamilton is amazed by how well Bennett read her every secret yearning during that one explosive weekend—and she's stunned when they come face to face in their everyday lives as rancher and new bank president. Now Ben's urging her to explore her submissive side outside the club, and there's something in his commanding gaze that makes it too easy to let him take control—of her desires and her pleasure.

Can Ben help Ainsley overcome her fear that a relationship built on dark sexual appetites won't survive the light of day?

Review: First Grave on the Right By Darynda Jones

FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT

BOOK 1 CHARLEY DAVIDSON SERIES

DARYNDA JONES

RATING

4/5

SPOILERS DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS

I only have two words to say about Charley BADASS.

Charley is a Grim reaper not your typical skeleton who goes around collecting souls but the kind who helps people crossover through her and yes you heard right they cross over her and she picks up things after they cross through her. Charley struggles through out the whole book with finding out who Reyes is all she knows is that he's the boy who she hasn't been able to forget ever since she saw him 12 years ago. All she knows is that he appears in her dreams and some how they seem more like reality then dreams. Later on Charley finds out that Reyes has been in prison for the last 10 years for killing his dad and he's in a coma. Charley not only has to solve her case's she has to figure out a way to save Reyes and keep her ass out of trouble.

I really lovvveeeeee Charley she's fearless bitch who goes into a investigation balls blazing and some how always comes out alive. Later we find out the reason Charley was saved when she was four years old,in high school, and in college was because she was being protected by a Reyes AKA son of Satan. Cookie is also one of my favorites she's helps balance Charley out and she seems like someone who would do anything for someone she loved.

I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO LIKES A BADASS HERINE AND A HOT DANGEROUS HERO.

Review: Kiss of Frost By Jennifer Estep

KISS OF FROST

BOOK 2 MYTHOS ACADEMY SERIES

JENNIFER ESTEP

RATING

4/5

THIS SERIES IS GREAT!

After killing Jasmine, Gwen knows she's not safe anymore and she has to learn to fight the reapers. So Logan the big sexy Spartan is now her fighting instructor,and not only does Gwen have to spend time with him she also has to see Logan and his girlfriend Savannah be all lovely dovey all over the school.

So when her BF Daphne tells Gwen to go to the winter getaway with the whole school at first Gwen doesn't want to go but after almost being run over and being attacked at the library Gwen thinks the safest thing to do is to go away for the weekend with the whole school. When she gets there it's not what she thinks,because there's still someone out there trying to kill her so she has to find out who it is before it's to late.

Great YA series I'm not a really big fan of YA but this book is really good. it's also age appropriate I'm tired of reading YA books that have way to much sex and they seem more PR then YA . I also love all the characters especially Daphne she's such a bitch in a good way I love it.

Can't wait for the next book hopefully I get a ARC copy. (cross fingers)

4/5

GREAT BOOK I LIKE THE WHOLE WARRIOR THING THE BOOK HAS GOING ON.

In the first book of Mythos Academy we meet Gwen a seventeen year old Gypsy who was forced to come to the Academy after her mom died in a car accident. Gwen doesn't think much about the school she think there a bunch of snobby rich warrior kids who are shallow and only care about what someones wearing. Since Gwen is a loner no one wants to talk to a girl who doesn't fit in and doesn't wear brand names such a Gucci and Prada, Gwen is a Converse and sweatshirt type of girl.

Gwen spends all her time helping in the Library and is use to being alone until one night she sees the most popular girl getting murdered and the Bowl of tears goes missing (one of the 13 artifacts). Now she has to find out who is behind the murder before someone else gets killed.

Very good first book in series I would have liked to get to know more about Logan but maybe in the next book well read more about why he was such a jerk in the end.

Review: Angel Burn By L.A. Weatherly

ANGEL BURN

BOOK 1 ANGEK SERIES

L.A. WAETHERLY

RATING

4/5

ONE OF THE BEST ANGEL BOOKS I'VE READ SO FAR.

I'm not a big of Angel books I think there also so cliche and 90% of Angel books are the same and the only exemption is The Guild Hunter by Nalini Singh, but this book was so different from all Angel books I've read.

First of all the Angels are always portrayed on being good, but not in this series. The Angels are seen as life sucking monster by the AK ( Angel Killers) and saviors to those who seen them.

Alex is a AK who mission in life is to kill all angels because they are responsible for killing all his family. When he meet willow a half angel half human girl he doesn't know what to think if he should hate her or love her. Willow is a girl who is used to always being the weird girl she loves cars and giving people reading. She doesn't think theres anything special about her until she finds out she is a half angel and now she has to face being a half angel half human and has to find a way to kill them all before they kill her and destroy the world.

RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO LIKES ANGEL'S OR WANTS TO READ A GOOD ANGEL BOOK.
