Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

"Hon, you and I both know he wasn`t in the woods."
I raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to say something else,
but she didn`t. I said, "Uh, yeah. He was. A hunter accidentally shot him."
It wasn`t a lie. Well, all but the "accidentally"part.
I was pretty confident it was no accident.

Review: Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

The Book:
This is the first book in a trilogy called the same as the book, Nightshade. This book was released October 2010. The sequel will be called Wolfsbane and are being released 26th July 2011. But many bloggers out there already got an ARC of this book. And it´s spoken about it on like every blog out there :P So it tells you how great the first book must be :)

ISBN13: 9780399254826
452 pages

Read: April 2011
Language: Danish

Summary: (from Goodreads)
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers.

But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything— including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

The Story:
This book has a teenage girl as main character, though not an ordinary girl. This girl is an alpha wolf, of her pack. So not enough she has to handle all the wolf things, like marriage to the alpha male, hunting etc. The teenage way of life, with boys, friends, partying etc. But she has to handle both worlds at once. Which isn´t always easy. When you are not let in on all the secrets going on behind your back.. While she figure out who she is, or is she just the girl the pack says she is and made her to be. Who will she choose?

My Opinion:
I loved this book. At first I didn´t really know. But I really got to love the book. And the whole story. There are like in many other books a romance triangle drama. Which never goes wrong :P If you ask me xD Though I will not get into who I liked more then others :P Since there probably are still people out there who haven´t read it yet.

I chose to give this one a 5 out of 6 stars :)
The reason it didn´t get 6 stars is because the main character was for me a little disappointing. She didn´t really grew as much as she should have done with her experience. And she was a bit to selfcentered for my taste. Though it didn´t ruin the rest of the book :P I am super excited about the sequel. Because I have to know what will happen next :)

Curious: Passion by Lauren Kate

Passion by Lauren Kate

There isn´t really any summary at Goodreads. But there was this little text:

fought immortals at Shoreline,
they lived many lives. . . .

I read bought Fallen and Torment, the first books. And I really enjoyed them.
And can´t wait for Passion to be released 14th June 2011. Which I already pre-ordered :)

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

His face broke into a blissful smile. He looked truly beautiful in that moment, and I remembered why I once thought fairies were angels. Surely nothing so perfect deserved to be on earth.

So excited about it.

Have you read it? And what did you think? Or are you planning on reading it soon?

Review: The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale by Christine Bell

The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale
by Christine Bell

The Book:
This is a short story, only 89 pages long.
The story is written by Christine Bell also called Chloe Cole. Who mostly writes erotic romance.
As far as I know this book is only available for Ebook-readers.
Published 24th April 2011.

And a huge thanks to the publishers Carina Press, who gave me promition to read it through Netgalley :) I really appreciate. This was the book I found on Netgalley who made me most excited. Since this was my first timetravel book ever :P

Read: April 2011
Language: English

Summary: (from Goodreads)
I'm a time pirate—born in 1810, now a 21st-century woman. I travel through time trying to right wrongs without disrupting the fragile balance between what is and what can never be.

That's why it's vital that I go to 1836 and find the man who conned my brother out of his Time Travel Mechanism as quickly as possible. If the technology falls into the wrong hands, it could change the world as we know it. The notorious Duke of Leister definitely qualifies as the wrong hands. An amateur scientist of the slightly mad variety, he's bound to figure out how to use the TTM sooner rather than later.

I knew this wouldn't be easy. But I wasn't counting on him being as sexy as hell. Or winding up chained to his bed…

The Story:
It´s about to siblings who travels in time. The main character is a young woman who travels with her brother Bacon. Bacon has lost his time-travel equipment in gambling. So Dorothy the main character and big sister has to help out her brother getting it back. Back for the lunatic the Duke.
But who is this Duke. Dorothy has met this man before and it sort of makes the whole thing a little bit more complicated, then she thought it would be.
Will she be able to get the piece back from him and to it´s ordinary place. Or is she going to be caught in a wrong time zone.

My Opinion:
I really enjoyed this one. I think it must be very difficult writing such short stories. But this one was actually started, finished and interesting the whole way through. Though this book in my opinion is an adult book. The book is not easy English read. If you are not a shark in English.
I started reading it. And when I found it again I was on page 39, but didn´t remember what it was about. The first time. So keep in mind you have to be awake while reading to get 100% out of the book, as it deserves. Because when I tried reading it again. I was like reading the whole time and could not put it away. Because I just had to know how everything was going to sort out :)
All in all I have chosen to give it a 5 out of 6 stars


It´s interesting and even though being on 89 pages you got everything. Family bonds, Love story, A tiny bit erotic (though not much), Time traveling etc.
You get to know about the past and you get to know what happens afterwards :)
So she covered all of it :) In such small space :)

I am for sure looking forward to reading a sequel :) Hope it will not take to long :P
It´s was nice reading a short book for once :)
And I will out of doubt check out some of her other books, when I get the time :)


Have you read this book? What did you think about it :)
Did you read some of her other books? Any suggestions?
