My must have sound track for this book:

What its about:

The astonishing final novel in Richelle Mead's epic series!

Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice. Now, with Rose on trial for her life and Lissa first in line for the Royal Throne, nothing will ever be the same between them.

What I thought of it:

The Hubs and I are looking to buy a new house and he said to me yesterday, "it's funny when a description of a house starts with WOW!"  We both laughed because it is pretty funny yet I'm going to start this with:

WOW!  Richelle has out done herself with this one.  The depth and intensity of this book is beyond words and really sticks with you. 

I've been absolutely in love with the Rose and Dimitri relationship since the very first word of the two meeting.  I never got into the Edward/Bella relationship like some girls claim to have, but I know how they feel, because its how I feel for Rose and Dimitri.  My heart beat sped up with every little glimpse of hope for the ass-kicking predestined couple.  Yet in the background my heart broke a little at the same time over Adrian, the development of Adrian has come so far and he's hard not to love.  You could cut the sexual tension in this book with knife, or should I say a stake.  This is by far the greatest love triangle ever written.  Lissa's amazing struggle to really find out what she is capable of and who she truely is adds to the great character development through out the story leaving you absolutely in love with her passion and determination.

Richelle's ability to weave a story and keep secrets that you just can't stop reading for is amazing!  I wish I could have a tenth of her talent!  I can easily picture everything she puts into a book, so much so that I think Preger Entertainment has quite a feat ahead of them to be able make a movie as beautiful as this series.  Every scene jumps off the page and becomes a world you instantly live in.  You feel like your right there fighting along side Rose. 

All in all I wish I could live in Richelle's head. 

I give this book:

Review: Clockwork Angel

Clockwork Angel

What its about:

Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still.

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos.

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own.

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.

What I thought:

I had a really hard time getting into this book in the beginning. By the end however I was totally enthralled. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen to Will and Tessa. I felt like this book had what I like to call a 'mean' ending, in other words a total cliff hanger ending. The other thing that was hard for me in the start was how long the chapters are.  I like shorter chapters when I read, but by the end I didn't want to put the book down and didn't notice the length of the chapters anymore.

I loved how much the characters grew in this book.  Watching Tessa learn who she was and then find that she can still live with it, made her really pop off the pages and into real life.  All of the characters really come to life and you feel for them all.  You start to see Will look into himself in the end and I can't wait to see how his character develops.

It was easy to picture the settings in this book.  It truly felt like I was really there, which I love, I read to escape and it was like going on vacation to London in the 1800's! 

I think this is going to be very strong and fantastic series.  I have a hard time waiting and I thought this was a great start for the series over all I give this book:

What its about:

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 girls 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 Otherwordly 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....

What I thought:

This is my least favorite series from Richelle Mead.  I'm not big in to novels that are pretty strong fantasy.  I didn't relate to any of the characters as well I could with Richelle's other characters.  I liked Kiyo but felt really betrayed by him in this story.  I don't know if I felt better about him in the end or not.  I thought the lands in the Otherworld were kind of cool, but again a little too much on the fantasy side for me.  It took me a long time to get into this book, but I didn't hate it or love it.

Review: Mockingjay

Mockingjay
By: Suzanne Collins
398 Pages
Published by Scholastic Press
Book 3 of 3




What its about:

My Name Is Katniss Everdeen.
Why Am I Not Dead?
I Should Be Dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed.  Gale has escaped, Katniss's family is safe.  Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist.  There are rebels.  There are new leaders.  A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it.  District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol.  Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans-- except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem.  To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust.  She must become the rebels' Mockingjay-- no matter what the personal cost.

What I thought:

I thought this book was an excellent end to a fantastic series.  I had a hard time with the being separated from Peeta and was almost as depressed as Katniss was about it.  I really felt like it was my life.  I was so sad to see this series end, but I couldn't put this book down.  I love love loved the Real or not real game. I just want to read this series over and over again.

I love that Katniss can think for her self and does.  There are for sure some heart breaking moments in this book.  Its hard when the one thing that starts the whole thing gets pulled out from under you.  I had a hard time with it but I thought it was a great twist.
