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 #10 - SHADOW KISS (VAMPIRE ACADEMY #3)

TITLE: Shadow Kiss AUTHOR: Richelle Mead PUBLICATION DATE: 2008 PAGES: 446 START DATE: 02-18-18 END DATE: 03-09-18 RATING: 4 The ending of this book kind of upset but it was an amazing book, this book is the one that go me hooked on the series. There is so much going on in this book, I don't even know where to begin. I was captivated by this book, I really love Dimitri and Rose together... Rose is a character whom had to grow on me, for sure, she kind of got on my nerves in the beginning two books because of how pessimistic she was, every single thing made her mad, and she had a temper and I understand with the whole thing going on with her soaking up the "darkness" from Lissa but I sometimes felt like shaking her and telling her "life isn't that damn bad, you have a really hoot guy, just get the heck over it" but she kind of really grew on me in this book. I started seeing her as more of an enduring cha...

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 #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 ...
