Oh. My. Gosh. What a great book and a cliffhanger.

This book starts where Frostbite left off with the gang back at the academy trying to get over what had happened in Spokane. There is alot of excitement in this book! The gang visits the queen and Rose thinks she is going crazy. The ending was very sad, but it left you with a cliffhanger and wanting to run out and buy the next book RIGHT AWAY!!!

I was not so sure in the beginning about this whole series, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I actually love it and give this third book a definite 5 stars!


Up Next: City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments 1) by Cassandra Clare

I have finally finished the second Vampire Academy book in the series. Most people say that this series is their favorite. With only having 2 books under my belt, I cannot be one of them. I do enjoy the storyline, but nothing will ever top Twilight in my book.

Frostbite continues where VA left off, with the gang continuing to go to the academy. Rose and Dimitri take a road trip to find a house full of slain vampires, which they figure out are strigoi. This begins the long journey for Rose, and one that will open her eyes to the dangers of being a guardian and what can happen to moroi when you let your guard down.

This was a great read, with a very sad ending. I cried like a baby, which is a good sign. This just means that the author was able to pull me in and I was in touch with th characters.

Up Next: Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy 3)

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next one in the series. At times the storyline reminded me alot of the Twilight saga with it's own twists and turns.

The story is about Lucy and Solange, they are best friends. Solange has a vast family vampire history which makes her very desireable and also the queen. That is, once she turns sixteen, she will complete the change.
The author has written the book to flop back and forth between Lucy and Solange's point of view, which I love, although, can get confusing at times due to having to remember whom the "I" is when reading the story.

There was plenty of action, drama and romance. This book was well written and a great read! Definately 5 stars!!!


Next up: Frostbite by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy 2)

I was not quite sure what to expect from this book. It does seem like a younger teen read. The writing style is very simple, but I love that type of writing. The main character of Natalie was interesting, with a one track mind.....being crowned Palmetto Princess with her boyfriend crowned as Prince. A simple joke against a competitor turns out to be their worst nightmare. With a huge surprise at the end, which I totally was not expecting, this was a very good read.




Up Next: Hearts At Stake by Alyxandra Harvey

I have read many reviews of this book. Most people's opinions are that this is their favorite book in the series so far. Unfortunately, I disagree. The book felt drawn out with a huge climax right at the end. There are so many different aliases for the characters that it becomes very confusing unless you pay close attention to the details. My favorite part of the book was the fact that each chapter was a different characters point of view. I love when authors incorporate different views into their writing, it brings the other characters to life. I will continue with the series. I love the authors take on the whole vampire theme.



Up Next: The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate

I had purchased this book as a trilogy. All three books were bound together into one book, which made for a very long read, approximately 800 pages.

The first book, which was called Remember Me, was a very good read. The story begins by introducing the main character, Shari Cooper and her family and friends. Shari goes to a friends party and is shoved over a balcony to her death. The rest of the book is Shari trying to figure out what happened to her. In my opinion, this was the best book of the trilogy.

The second book was my least favorite. It was alot of afterlife and religion.

The third book jumps ahead a few years, this book was my second favorite, but was still a little confusing at parts.

Would I suggest this book? Probably, but I would recommend taking your time reading it.

Up next: I am reading The Van Allen Legacy by Melissa De La Cruz

For anyone that has read Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, you will love Crescendo. This book continues where Hush Hush left off with Patch and Nora continuing their love affair with Patch assuming responsibility for Nora as her guardian angel. The pair hit some bumps in the road through this whole book and leaves the reader with a cliffhanger to continue into book three. The third and final book in the series will be named Silence and I will definately keep a watch out for it!
