BOOK NUMBER TWO OF THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY,..

SYNOPSIS:
The threat of the Strigoi increases, and forces the Moroi and dhampirs to begin to think outside the box about how to protect everyone. Tense of course rises as always between Rose and Dimitri when Dimitri's friend and royal Moroi, Tasha, suddenly returns to the academy, leaving Rose of course with a broken heart. Of course Rose being the slut she is (love her character though) moves on or tries to move on with someone else, but her heart still aches. In this book we meet a new character - Adrian Ivashkov- a character who could easily be everyone's favorites.

REVIEW:

I kind of felt this book was a little slow, slower than the first one, and kind of dragged on, took awhile to get into it. I liked it and I eventually got into it by the end of it but I wasn't wanting to rush out and purchase the third book like I would have usually done right away. 
I will say this though, I haven't given up on this series yet, and it does have potential.. All I can and will say is I am hoping the second book gets me hooked like it has done with so many others. 

Now, Richelle Mead does ramp up the action, angst, and intense emotions in book two. There were some spots where I was just like WTF seriously just happened?! And are you kidding me Mason? Why Mason Why? Richelle is a master at making you fall in love with her characters. I care so deeply for Rose in this one, even though she's snarky, a little bit reckless at times and more than a little impulsive. Underneath her hard exterior, she's very vulnerable. Rose does go through a lot with her mother, friends, and the desires of her heart that I couldn't help but feel for her.  My heart was pounding out of my chest the last 25% of the book probably. The rest was kind of slow/dull.

GLAMITURE # 6 - BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS

*DISCLAIMER: THIS IS BOOK ONE IN A THREE BOOK SERIES* TITLE:  BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS (BOOK #1) AUTHOR: Anna Godbersen PUBLICATION: 2010 PAGES: 389 RATING: 4.5 Bright Young Things follows the story of three young adult girls, Cordelia, her best friend Letty and Astrid during the 1920's era. I love this era and was very excited to read this book. What I enjoyed most was the way Anna switches back and fourth between each character, but it isn't "jumpy" like some books so it flows well. Anna doesn't announce that each chapter has a new voice which continues to follow the lives of the three girls and how they interact with each other. Each of the characters voices is unique and shares a different side of this bustling era. Cordelia and Letty are from OH (Ohio) and find themselves in NY. Cordelia came to find the father she has never known and Letty to follow her dreams of being a dancer/singer. Astrid and Cordelia quickly hit it off, as Astri...

GLAMITURE #4 - See What I Have Done

TITLE:   See What I Have Done AUTHOR: Sarah Schmidt PUBLICATION: 2017 PAGES: 328 This book is a MUST read.. I read this book in literally 2 days! I hardly wanted to put it down. I have been intrigued with Lizzie Borden and couldn't wait to read a fictionalized story about her, this authors take is beautiful. The book started out slow as it just jumped right into Lizzie finding her father dead. It gave no insight or history on Lizzie Borden. I didn't know if I was going to be able to deal with the events leading up to the murders, this book really didn't cover that but only covered the days leading up to and after the murders. This story is told from 4 different view points; Emma (Lizzie's oldest sister), Bridget (The Irish maid, Benjamin (A total stranger hired by the Borden girls uncle with nefarious intentions), and Miss Lizzie Borden.  The writing on this evocative, even for having "realized" spelled wrong. There's a lot of imagery (...

GLAMITURE #7 - VAMPIRE ACADEMY (BOOK ONE)

*SIX BOOK SERIES* TITLE:  VAMPIRE ACADEMY AUTHOR: RICHELLE MEAD PUBLICATION: 2007 PAGES: 340 START DATE: 12/24/17 FINISH DATE: 12/28/17 RATING: 5 I decided to read and start this series to get out of a reading slump because of book that ended badly.. I was skeptical at first about reading it and here's why: this is a book that is loved by almost every YA reader out there, its had fans from the beginning which therefore made it one of the most hyped up books, and if you know ANYTHING from my blogs, I don't really do hyped up books because of the fact that some people don't like what I do, and my other reasoning because I thought this was twilight type story, and lord know how much I HATED twilight with a passion, not that I didn't attempt to try and like twilight...I was surprised though, this book was far from anything like twilight it was more "mortal instruments" style than anything, in my opinion and it kept my attention ...
