Poison Princess by Kresley Cole
*

I am sure many will like this book and that is great. The writing is good. The story is okay post apocalyptic. My problem with the book (beware some spoilers possible)was Arthur he is just way creepy gross, and I could not get past it. He would wait or entice women to whatever home he happend to be living in at the time, and then drug her only enough to make her loss control of her muscles and then he would rape her is implied but no details. Then he would put said girls in his basement for further torturing and eventually kill them cut them up and put pieces of them in glass jars. He obviously is mentally ill. Gross! Sick! Sick! Not my kind of story. I bought this as an audio listened up to chapter 22 mind you there are only 29 chapters. The story goes back and forth between Evie and Arthur I didn't find the story all that compelling and even less so do to the psycho Arthur.

This review is mainly for the first book, but I don't want to spoil anything, I loved the whole series and each book gets ***** Stars.

What an engaging read, I couldn't put it down, and found myself searching for were I had laid down the second book so I could find out what was going to happen next. This story does not disappoint it is none stop action/what is going to happen next. The author isn't overly nice to our heroine either, Mac goes through a lot of intense trials. Things are not only tough physically for her at times but also emotionally, and psychologically. These trials change and affect her in huge and interesting ways.
MacKayla Lane lives in small town Georgia. She is pretty in pink and loves life and the simplicity of it...until the day she finds out that her best friend and sister Alina is dead. Mac wants revenge and heads off to Ireland where here sister has been at college to find out who murdered her. What she finds out will forever change her from right down to her very foundation of life. Mac goes through so much but not to much to push us the reader over the edge. While Mac is searching for Alina she runs into Barron the man is an enigma all his own. I was/am so confused about him and his part in everything. He is one of the most interesting characters I think I have ever read, I am still reeling,lol. Mac and Barron's understanding of each other is humorous, scary, intense, and pragmatic. They remind me of two magnets if you put them one direction they snap right into each other, but if you turn them around they deflect each other. Yet if you turn one magnet around and leave the other one, one of them will do everything it can to smacking into the other one....thus Mac and Barron. Back to the story Mac, Barrons, The Fae Prince V'lane the sensual man who is every woman's dream or nightmare they and many others are all looking for a special fae book that if not put into the right hands can cause universal/other worldly problems.

There seems to be a message that runs through the book as well one of black, white, grey were is the line an interesting perspective. Also we should be careful how we judge a person do we judge them on what others tell us about them, what they tell us about themselves, or on their actual actions. Barron brings this home often to Mac.

Thanks Methrendiel for recommending this series to me really well done.

content: Moderate language, no sex, there were two scenes that would make it an unclean read.

 

content for all the other books: Moderate language, adult read, not a clean read

Eve by Anna Carey
***.5

This was more of a 3.5 star read for me. Liked Eve and the story, but just didn't pull me in the way I was hoping it might. Just okay!

 

This was an audio book, narrator was good.

Sacrifice by Cayla Kluver
***** or 10 stars

Cover love! This is the most PERFECT cover! This girl actually looks like my Alera ( you know the one I picture in my head) Love the dress. Can't wait for the book to be in my greedy little hands and devouring it's pages.:D

Alera, Narian, Steldor, London, Cannon and Shaselle, Yay they are all in the final book to this amazing series. I was so glad to see Narian back in full force commanding Hytanican with Alera by his side. Narian is just so wise and smart beyond his years. Steldor is back in all of his awe inspiring glory and chilvary, he is so easy on my reading eyes, lol. My heart still goes out to the man, he is perfect! London we all love him don't we. He is so brave, and loves his country and fellow country man, and is always willing to go to great lengths for them to keep them a sovereign country. Shaselle is always finding trouble she is a great character. She is constantly miss understood, causes all sorts of trouble (which I wanted to yell at her for). Alera is Alera she tries really hard to help her country become stable under the Corkian rule. She is still young and naive at times, but she means well. She is so good for Narian she brings out the best in him.
I know I am not giving much of the plot away, because I am sure you want to find out for yourself what happens now that the Corkians are in control of Hytanican. I love how a couple of relationships blossom and grow in this story.
I am sad to have the series end, I became very attached to these characters and their stories and will miss them. However I am sure I will revisit it often after all it is my all time favorite series ever. I have already reread the first two twice, lol. If you haven't read it I would highly recommend it.
As a side not Ms. Kluver could we have Steldor's story.....PLEASE!

The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke
*****

(Rubs hands together) Who wouldn't love a good pirate story? Well I love them. I find that they are a little hard to find so this made this story all the more appealing. Adding to the wonderful pirates a little magic, assassins, and a curse, great writing and whoala you have a book that I couldn't wait to read.
This story starts off with a bang and carries all the way through, it is full of action and adventure. Ananna of the family Tanarau and Tarrin of the family Hariri mind you they are both pirate families. Well Ananna and Tarrin are to wed. The problem is that Tarrin's would be bride is not to excited about it. In fact she takes matters into her own hands which leads to miss hap and adventure. Which includes the assassins trying to kill her and a curse that must be broken. I really liked the world that is created in this story it is interesting and really pulls you in. It is well written and flows beautifully.
I loved the characters in the is story as well. Annanna was bright, courageous, witty, humorous, strong, and spoke her mind. She was endearing in the fact that she doesn't see her self as pretty, but she is still proud of who she is. Tarrin he was a little full of himself, and a typical pirate, he drove me a little crazy. Naji, I really liked everything about his character. He is not your your typical hero, he is flawed and really needs his heroine in order to get through it all. It worked really well for this story. Made him very endearing as well.
Those who love a little romance in their story there is some and I am sure the other books will have more. Great little story, wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a classic. Excited to see where the adventures will lead them next.
