Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

This book is a magical mystery! Riggs puts just the right amount of everything into an original story! I have never before read about a plot like this (which makes it all the more spectacular.) The characters are all unique and each one brilliant. At first I thought "this is taking a bit long to get to the point." (I am one of them people that need the action to kick right off at the start) I soon discovered that this was necessary and amazing! I must insist that you (whoever is reading this) go and find yourself a copy and start to read immediately (or at least as soon as you have time.) This book has fire, flying, birds, monsters, invisible boys, and that is not even the best part (of which I can not tell!) Just writing this has made me want to go out and buy the second one again (meaning I already went out and bought it, the second, no before, I finished this amazing book!) Did I already mention the fact it is magical? Yep! Well then, I don't see what more you need! Go and get this book!

Hello there!

Sorry I ain't wrote a review today! Tomorrow I will be starting to read Dangerous Deception by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl so as soon as that is finished (which knowing me, will not take long) I will review while still fresh in the brain. Here's to hoping the old Rid is back!! (See the double explanation mark? That means business)
I can not believe it has took me till now to purchase this book, I was meant to in may. I hope this ain't a bad sign (of how pi***d I was at rid not being rid lol) anyway enjoy your night/day, while I ponder which new books to fit my selves with *sigh* (hardwork) *swipe forehead*
In the meantime why not check out my dangerous creatures (not so dangerous in my opinion, I find beautiful creatures to be more lethal) review - http://lovefantasyfantasylove.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/dangerous-creatures-by-kami-garcia-and.html

When you find a really cool book after searching for soooo long!

Book love!!

Twenty-eight and a half wishes by Denise Grover Swank

Okay so I found it a bit strange at first I must admit (why would any 24 year old let their mother control them into having no life is beyond me) that being said I kind of get the point to it now. Without it there would be no story if I'm honest. Rose have forever let everyone control her, in other words she never stands up for herself. She also has visions, ridiculous vision that she conciders useless and that ain't the worse part, she blurts out what ever her vision is, no matter where she is. Nightmare! This I thought was quirky.  When one day she has a vision that changes her life forever. Her own death. Of course things only get worse when someone dies in her place. Dun, dun, dun! But then Rose meets Joe her next door neighbour. Hot, fit, Joe. Who is mysterious. It all goes tits-up from here. This book is fun, dangerous and damn right amazing at times. Detective crime story with a twist is how I would describe it. I love all the characters, I love Denise's writing style. If you're looking for a fun love story this is it.  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twenty-Eight-Half-Wishes-Gardner-Mystery-ebook/dp/B0058UXHHK/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1441462195&sr=8-12

Shiver Cove part 1 tamyra by TJ Shortt

Okay so I've been meaning to review this for a while. I first heared of these book because I have the author on google+ and seen her post about them a few times. So because god loves a trier, I decided to give them a go. So let's start by saying - the teenage girl in me was in love. (It is easy reading, or for me it was, but that right there is part of the teenage love) I really felt for the main going through all the normal stuff most teenagers go through like bullying, growing into a women, turning into a werewolf you know that kind of stuff. So I was pleased when mother dearest ups and moves tamyra to Shiver Cove, where her werewolf aunt has no worries. She makes some great friends who make you wonder what other supernatural stuff is going on In this place and let us not mention no beast. I can not write anything else I do not wish to spoil anyones read. I would most definitely suggest you teenagers give it a go. Also those who are still teenagers at heart. That being said dreams are only real if you make them and TJ Shortt has made them. Go ahead and have a go http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shiver-Cove-Part-1-Tamyra-ebook/dp/B00YHOWFP8/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 The first part is free so even if it's not for you it's worth the try, you might just enjoy it! As for me I think I might read part two as we speak......

coincidence or just plain strange....

After writing The Shepherd's crown review (if it can be called a review) I clicked on the dashboard to see if anyone had read it. It was here that I noticed I have written 41 posts. The last being the end of discworld novels - The Shepherd's Crown - which just happens to be the number 41 in the discworld series. To be honest I couldn't be more thrilled (weird of me? I know) this seems fitting to me after loving the discworld for so long. Infact I don't even remember the point I was making now because my mind have gone back thinking of the amazing story. Anyway have a nice day all of you. May you make it ridiculously amazing! *waves with a slanted smile*

The Shepherd's Crown by Terry Pratchett

How can I do this book the justice it deserves? I loved seeing into the way, as a writer Terry worked, the process if you like. Yes it might of been better if he were able to finish it, but I think it is perfect for the end, his end, the discworlds end! I can't possibly begin to tell you how sad, happy, excited, on the edge on my seat, then sad again I was throughout this book! Discworld will and have forever been a favourite of mine. On that score let me begin.

A main character dies (or not dies, depending how you see it), times 'a' changing! There will also be a reckoning! Yes there god damn will....
Tiffany Aching has big boots to fill, possibly the biggest in Pratchett's last ever Discworld novel *cries so hard* *big gaping sobs*.
The elves are back in force and every witch must and will fight to keep the peace on the disc. THERE WILL BE A RECKONING!
You know I really haven't got one thing I would change or complain about (I never have with Terry Pratchett novels) all I have to say is read it. READ THEM ALL!
I myself like to think of Terry as the Granny Weatherwax of fantasy, by that I mean I believe he is the unsaid leader of Fantasy Authors (no offence to any author/reader who don't agree.)
There is not one thing he can't make funny, not even death. That is some skill. Although sad to have read the last ever disc novel, I go forth knowing I have 41 brilliant novels on my shelves that I can pick up at anytime and know they will bring joyous laughter!
Where is Terry now? To quote You! Meow...vrywhere!
The end.

Lameness

So it turns out I'm not a very consistent person! Sorry for that....
I really, really haven't found much new fantasy that I am even remotely interested in, soooo, I have been reading alot (and I mean alot) of non fantasy (which I can hardly review about on a fantasy review blog) *sigh*. On a plus, I have just won most times fantasy has been used in one post award (I'm so very happy to win, and all that s@*t).....
Maybe I should change the name of this blog right here to 'A little bit of everything including (yep you guessed it) FANTASY!' Anyway I shall try to make it up to any might be reader. Starting first thing tomorrow! Good day to you all *waves dramatically*.

NON-FANTASY

I'm afraid I've been getting a lot of non-fantasy books sent my way, hence the lack of reviews added. Although I really should of just written some about the books I've already read. *Palm smack*
Plus while I'm talking on my fantasy slacking I may as well add that I've also been catching up on watching what I missed of Pretty Little Liars *EKKK* (If you watch this, you will forgive me and know a must when you see one ;) ......) On a better note this week coming should see the delivery of my June batch of fantasy fill. I'll be reading a range from James Herbert's Once to Kami and Margaret's Dangerous Deception *YAAAY* (which I should of read by now in all fairness.) Anyway I hope you all have a ridiculously brilliant Sunday.........

Dancing with Cupid by Jennifer Stevenson

I just reviewed this, review did not save. *ARGH* 
This is one of them silly Romance books (you know the type.) (I also mean no offence when I say that.) 
Kama is the god of love (as in sex god) each month he needs to top up sex or he will spontaneously combust. (Cheesy? I know.) 
Rathi is a power woman in a suit. This is his next conquest. Who also turns out to be a reincarnation of his goddess wife.
Easy readable (I mean that when I say it) it took me round about three hours in total and that was multitasking.
I would recommend this for when you've run out of things to read (no offence again, but it ain't everyone's' first choice) or if you happen to be into this kind of romance. (you'll no it by the cover, I know that sounds ridiculous by - never judge a book by it's cover standards- but these type always have a similar thing going on.) 
Over all it didn't bore me but that didn't stop me from noticing every cheesy part.
What I consider 'fantasy characters' were misused for sop. Which ruined  it for me. There is so much you can do with ideas. But I must admit I don't think I've read one similar to this.
So give it a read if you think you can stomach sooooo much cheddar. 

Angelfall by Susan EE

There is something brilliant about the apocalypse. That sounds weird. What I mean is there is something I find brilliant about authors who put there on take on the apocalypse. Susan EE does this and it is great. You find yourselves wanting to know what happens next. Peryn is such an amazing lead. She's kickass. She will do what it takes. Her sister has been took by evil angels. Raffe an enemy angel who had his wings cut off is the only help she has. Together they go in search of an invalid girl and Raffe's wings. They get caught by an army of human and have to escape. They keep finding people that have been ate. And you well, you get to see them become friends in an argumentative kind of way on top of everything else going on. So if you like evil angels, devil made things and a hero thats brilliant this is for you. Serious though you could picture this being the end from a teenagers prospective. She has had to grow and fast. Imagine angels swooping down one day and everyone thinking omg beautiful, and them start burning things down, killing people, trashing every city. The fright of something you thought was kind and lovely. All this happens. If you don't fall in love with Raffe and maybe even Peryn, there is something wrong with you ha ha. Go read.... Sorry for the short, but you really have to read it.

The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett

Okay so I love Rincewind. He is like the best wizzard I have ever read about. Yeah you're right, there ain't actually that many wizzards floating around are there. But, there are a lot of wizards and he is better than all of them. This book is amazing. Rincewind lives through every single situation put to him. The tourist Twoflower and his luggage (with thousands of tiny legs) (soon to be Rincewind's luggage) are the best companions you could ever imagine.

Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett

This is such a brilliant take on movie making. I kept putting off reading this one for some reason or another (even though I totally love each and every single one of this mans books) and as these thing go, I loved every second of it. The characters are always amazing with Terry Pratchett (got to state the obvious.) I could almost believe this was the real telling of how the moving pictures started (ha ha) and even if not then at least a funnier better version.

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

When I was fourteen I found out about this. It was in 2005. I found this film in my neighbours' house. Then began my secret love of vampires. Well I say secret, but me and my friend from school used to try to write vampire horrors' only to have them turn out really rubbish. The one time my english teacher snached our little book of stories and read them to the whole class *cringe* I can still hear the laughter now. Imagine living forever. The only down is I'm actually squeamish ha ha ha. They are by far my favourite creature to ever roam the horror genre. This is the book and film that made them so. I mean there is an endless possibility to what an author can write about them. Anne Rice is BRILLIANT! Like come on a vampire going to a journalist? HA HA AMAZING! Imagine the guts that boy has to interview a predator.

Asylum by Madeleine Roux

Age at the back 13+, just thought I would get it out there. I've seen a lot of bad reviews for this, but like I said 13+. People need to remember the age!
Now my thirteen year old self would have had the hairs up on the back of her neck. She would of kept peeking up the dark passage (while reading by touch light, with the bedroom door open)
As it is, my twenty three year old self disagrees. Never mind that though, because over all I can see where she was going with this.
Basically Dan crawford goes to a summer programme at a college/old asylum.

Busy, busy, busy....

So I've had a lot on this week. Sorry to anyone who reads this blog.... on the plus I've read a few books I haven't read before, so new reviews (fresh in the brain). Starting tomorrow night I will add a whole load of reviews/my thoughts (recently read and old). Hope you enjoy!!! *wave* *smile* see yaaaaa xx

The Curse Keepers by Denise Grover Swank

I really, really, really enjoyed this book (like really) I can not stress how much I was into it. I bought the next one before I'd even finished reading it. Ellie Dare Lancaster works in a diner. A hottie comes in who she instantly knows is trouble. He is going to touch her and she knows by her breathing she shouldn't let him.
In short there is a curse. Not on Ellie. Each member of her family will know the curse. Her father passed it down to her. They are the curse keepers. There is another family who are the second. There are only two curse keepers. One from each family. When the two meet and touch the curse is lifted, the gates to hell open and with it and well work that out for yourself.....

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Nine Years Earlier........ It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.
Maggie is a killer for these lines to start off books. Tell me that have not got your interest, go on, I dare you!
Sean is on the beach with his father, today is race day. The beach is never safe, today it is dangerous. This is where you learn of the capiall uisce. The water horses. Deadly (meat eaters, including their riders). The men of the village race them, on race day. Sean takes to them naturally. Not that he will ride. His father rides a red stallion. Then dies by the teeth of a grey. Sean watches from the cliff.
I don't think often of my father's strung out body through the reddening surf. Instead I remember him as he was before the race: afraid. I won't make the same mistake.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

OMG! This book is a magical roller coaster ghost train ride! You go through every single emotion while reading this! Sadness. Horror. Happiness. Freaked out. You feel all of these things at any given moment! AMAZING. I originally bought this for my Son. As is tradition I read it first before giving it to him, so I know the contents.

The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs

I read somewhere once that this girl was nineteen when she wrote this (or younger and it got published at 19). That has to be a huge thing for any author. Yes she may only just be getting into it, yes she has years till she become great but the point is that at nineteen she still had a huge fan base. (enough to get published!) I've read a few reviews where people say allsorts of bad things. In truth at that ages most novelists can not get published. I say good for her. At least she's gone with her dream. At least she put in the effort. Eventually the more she writes the better she will become.... I really enjoyed this book, yes it has it's flaws but so do people. Once I picked it up I had to pry it from my hands just to sleep for the night. The action starts from the very beginning which I thought finally. Violet Lee is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Trafalgar square. Where she ends up hidden (after a night out) while Vampires kill Hunters.

Abandon by Meg Cabot

Okay, so I read this in one night (due to easy reading, mainly) Pierce Oliviera knows what it's like to die (oh yes she do) .....Now Death wants her back (dun, dun, dunnnn.) Okay there is a good plot (it even includes greek myths.) This starts with... Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Anything at all. One. Two. Three. Blink.
Then it describes persephone being took by hades and the narrator (Pierce) telling you it's just a myth. What happened to her, is not. So on, so on.
She then add... So take my advice: Whatever you do - Don't blink.
This page drew me in slightly, I wanted to know what happens to her when she blinks.

Devil's Bargain by Rachel Caine

Okay, so I've read all the morganville books by this author and I have to say I love her. (This book is more for Adults I'd say but there isn't anything that bad in it, so young adults could read aswell if you're into this sort of thing....) I love the fact this book is about something so different and yet she still nails it "HELL YERH!" (Think Wanted (the film where peoples' names come up and they have to kill them) cross Kim Possible (cartoon spy with a techno geek boss and sidekick best friend)...) So Jazz (the main) is one of them drink whiskey alone in a bar kind of detectives (I admire this, how a person can walk into a bar alone and not care about sitting with their own company.) I also love detective programmes (Miss Marple, Diagnosis: Murder, Poirot and sherlock holmes) although this was my first book do to with them.... It's not just detectiveness it is sort of about fate (making it happen/stopping it happening and so on) and the love interest (James) ain't that bad either (win, win) Jazz is a Badass and her business partner  Lucia is an even bigger Badass! Together they are thrown into this thing where they have to be somewhere to stop something or the other way around. The Cross Society send them red letters for every case they have (it's all kinda crazy, but a great change for detectives.) If they do this they will give them the means to help save Jazz's friend (he has been locked up for something he didn't do.) Then she gets on their bad side 'uh-oh'.... If you're into fate and a bit of action this is definitely for you. It's kinda strange and at first they have no idea what they have gotten themselves into but if you like this book you'll love the next although that is written from the partners prospective. Give it a go.

Splintered by A. G. Howard

This is technically for young adults. I seem to own a lot of these haha. This is a take on Alice in Wonderland and a good one at that. Alyssa Gardener is Alice Liddell's great-great-great-Granddaughter (or so she thinks ;)!!!). Madness has runs through the family ever since Alice. Alyssa's mum is in an asylum and Morpheus (the caterpillar/moth) keeps coming to try to take her to wonderland. Plants and insects talk to her. And so on. Then she ends up in wonderland *fist pump* (come on... Who wouldn't want to go there?) All the usual characters are in this but with a twist. I thought -once I got past the beginning and more into the wonder- that A. G. Howard done a marvellous job. She has made a famous story her own and rocked it (my opinion). I never seen the end coming or how much I would love Morpheus and Alice. My only problem was Jeb (the friend/crush) it felt like he got in my way *sigh*(maybe you will like him...) I would say it's definitely an amazing twist on the original so yerh if you're in the age group or even older you may enjoy this read. Don't give up (like I went to) it totally starts to kick in, see I don't even want to ruin it for you ;)....... And just look at that beautiful cover (don't you love it!!!)

Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampire Series) by Rachel Caine

This series is Fang-tastic. Claire Danvers sixteen year old accepted for college early didn't know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to go to texas prairie instead of her college of choice because her parents thought she was to young to go too far. What they didn't know was the choice they made her go to was less safe. This is the first in a fifteenth book series and what a brilliant series it is. A new problem in each book, you will not get bored once. (Not once I tell ya...)

True Fire by Gary Meehan

This starts off with a girl sixteen years old, pregnant. Sneaking out of her house where she lives with her grandfather and twin sister Gwyneth. Parents long dead. Her name is Megan and her plan is to meet the father of her baby Wade, who ran off when she told him she was with child. (JERK.) She met Wade because her sister was with hid brother (Holt) and coerced her into being with him. While she's with him near the corn fields basically arguing they hear loud cries (must be fighting at a tavern) Alas no It is the whole village screaming. Wade makes her hide and goes to see what's happening (although I'm pretty certain he hide her on purpose because he knew something and was scared for her) A man in black armour cuts his head clean off with an axe. *ARGH WTF*

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

Death goes missing! This is such a marvellous plot. If Death is missing what will happen? (Chaos) BRILLIANT. Terry Pratchett does it again. I do not know how some people do not like his books or even not like one over another. Each and every book impresses me. Death as it is, is fed up of being er Death and has gone to get a different job (working on a farm.) I love Death in these books, I never imagined I'd say those word (like ever.) My words fail me on how to write how great I found this book. The whole crew of the unseen university are in this one aswell (wizards) which who doesn't love these? Oh yeah people who haven't read discworld. What the hell are you waiting for? If Death ain't enough for you then you also have Zombies with flare digging their way out alone and joining a support group (Dead? Depressed?......), wizards that are so ridiculous it's believable and so much more. Death even saves a little girl by given her more time (showing he do in fact have feelings to a certain degree.) There is so many amazing characters just in this book alone (even if they only have a small part) this bloke was so good at people he gets types right to a tee! If you are a Pratchett fan you know you must read it (even if it is for a second time) if you are new what took you so bloody long!!

                                 THE END!

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia

Okay so I literally read the hell outta this one. One night and it was finished. Did I love it? Yes I did. Kennedy (the main) started to grow on me from the first moments and by the end I was ready to be bff's *snort laugh* I felt for her I really did and I don't often. This book starts in a graveyard with the main chasing after her cat (Elvis, I mean any cat named that is bound to be trouble), bare footed and alone at dark. Something moved between headstones (all panic about now) "Sorry" my voice wavered "I'm looking for my cat." The stranger didn't say a word. (wooooo, scary)

Grave Minder by Melissa Marr

The overall idea of grave minding drew me in. Imagine having to mind graves? "spooooooky" (ghost story type voice) I thought ghosts or maybe I don't know something but did I expect zombies? No I did not!

Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett

This is the first book of Terry pratchett's I every read. When I was about seven my mum had this and feet of clay, I was obsessed with the covers. I would sometimes stare at them for a good hour. I would play with them when ever I could get my hands on them. I love the covers still to this day. I love the written words even more. I find it unfair so much comical genius is given to one man alone *sigh* No who am I kidding I LOVE the fact! This one is about the witches. Granny weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat. These three characters have enough spark to light a huge village and half the world with.

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

This is a spin-off to the vampire academy books. In the last few Sydney Sage is introduced. An alchemist, a group of humans that cover up vampire knowledge from other humans (with a lily tattood to each of their cheeks). The group also hates the creatures and find them disgusting. She was dragged into Rose Hathaway's (A dhampir. That's a half vampire, half human creation that has to protect the moroi) mess purely because she owed someone. Anyway she ends up sort of liking Rose. This ends up with her in serious trouble obviously. This is where this book starts. She's been in bad graces with her people since. In the middle of the night her father makes her get up for an important meeting (I hate this man) . At this meeting she finds out that the moroi (the alright vampires who can use magic) queen's sister needs hiding. Half of the moroi want her dead *shocked face*

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

I'm so into history. I can totally get why people would want to be history professors and so on. History is a magic all on it's own!! I can't really complain about this novel. I voted for it and all sorts *fist pump* I love every character in this whole series although I have to say Gallowglass is my most favourite. A little traitorous part of me wanted Diana (a witch with a problem) to end up with him instead of Matthew (a rich as hell vampire with an attitude problem) *shocker* No really that is no lie. I love him that much! If you don't, you haven't read these books specifically shadow of night......
It begins with absence and desire.
It begins with blood and fear.
It begins with a discovery of witches.
I love it!

M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman

The introduction was indeed a marvellous introduction! I believe everyone can or will understand where he is coming from. A lot of your childhood is made up of short stories. Brilliant things they are and will carry on being so for many years to come. Yep you got it this book is made up of short stories, eleven to be precise.

Bear with me....

I have read hundreds of books that I will eventually write about here. I would have loads up already but I have quite a few books that I want to read at the moment, so I tend to read in my spare time instead of more blogging (dreadful I know ;) ) But on the plus when I get around to doing them all and the juicy new ones I'll post in between, there will indeed be enough to keep anyone occupied for a year or two (slight exaggeration, oh alright HUGE one) In any case I have more to come up shortly. Obviously I have my monthly read so each time I post one of them I'll also post two or three I've already read...... I know I'm a nightmare *smile* (sorry about that) and I know one minute I write short details like hardly anything at all, next minute I write practically the whole novel in short and sometime I don't pay much attention to what I write at all and then have to go over it eight million times changing all the mistakes I didn't notice I had made *forehead palm smack* Anyway happy reading :D *fling your arms out the socket wave*  

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices book one) by Cassandra Clare

Enters Tessa Grey after a long journey from America to the UK. She's such a loveable girl I do NOT care what anyone says. I loved her from the start. I want to be Tessa's friend. End of! (that sounded really lame ignore). She is to be picked up by someone her brother knows and she loves her brother ever so much. I would not of got in the carriage that came for her but I guess maybe her ever so trust worthy brother said it was fine. cue hours of being locked away, tortured, bullied and forced to turn into things she never knew she could turn into. *bawling my eyes out*.
Enter, Will Herondale the almighty cocky bastard (How I love him from the very first sentence he speaks) who has managed to get into the demons lair. *Warrior cry* and finds Tessa stowed away in a bedroom. Let the saving commence. Welcome to the world of Shadowhunters.

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Aria and Peregrine. Need I say more? Well yes of course I haven't been able to stop verbal diarrhea since my thirteenth year.
Aria is a dweller, dwellers live in mountain type things really. They have not been outside since the Aether storms started. They have these eye patches that are their world. Realms (this is cool) (well to a certain extent) and well basically crap immune systems.
Soren can hack anything. Even the dwellers systems. He take Aria and her friend along with his two friends to a shutdown pod that ain't protected. All hell breaks loose. Soren goes crazy, I mean CRAZY crazy spreads a fire. Everyone's trapped.

Forgotten Suns by Judith Tarr

I read this in about ten sittings, yeah ten sittings in two days. I literally picked it up every spare minute I had. This book is AMAZING if you like timey wimey (Doctor Who saying) things.....
I really love fantasy and science fiction and this just hit all the right spots, all of them!

It has magic, I mean sun god kind of magic. A sleeper who has slept for thousands of years, THOUSANDS!! There is even a ship that is alive god damn really alive...
A girl (Aisha) who is downright crazy... A guy (Rama) who is downright crazy.... And an Aunt (Khalida) who is downright crazy.... I love it. All of it. Every character was something else. Brilliant. I got into the book from the start. The girl blows up a cave in Nevermore (I want to live here), something is let loose. WHAT! YES!! This something is Rama. I love Rama, he is wild. Together they travel through worlds and eventually dimensions trying to find where his people are. Do they succeed? Hell yeah, with a big bang here and there..... I actually want there to be another book, which surprised me. I've read a lot of trilogies but mainly it's because I can't stand a book not completely finished. But this beauty, Judith Tarr please, please, please write more :D!! You should almost certainly read this. what ever genre you're into. It is certainly something to think about. I like SOMETHING to think about. I love every 'what if?' that is ever written. Go and find yourself a copy of this right away. That is an order from the Corps.... Not that you will know who they are until you read, so make sure you do ;) (This might seem rushed or whatever, I was just tooooo excited)

Half Wild by Sally Green

So it starts with Nathan naked. (Yep I said it, naked.) Covered in blood. With a body by his side. Since his father gave him three gifts he has been changing into an animal (obviously sounding like a wolf but who knows maybe it could be a bear). Although he can not ever remember changing or what happens.He do remember feeling when the animal is stirring.

While finding Gabriel  (his only friend) *sigh* he ends up meeting two new black witches, who saved said friend. Nesbitt and Van. Who have teamed up with blacks and whites (who feel the council has become to much) and made a sort of odd resistance.... Oh did I mention Nathan and Gabriel have handed them over a magical Amulet "WHAT?" Yeah I know right! Who hands over a magic object to people they do not really know......

Half Bad by Sally Green

This book starts off with a Shakespeare's, Hamlet quote. 'There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking it makes it so.' This is a really good start. most verses, quotes or poems at the start of books do not have anything to do with what is actually happening. This does. Nathan is half white/half black witch. His mother being a white, his father being a black. Who is constantly accused of being black from the start of his life.

In the opening Nathan is in a cage. Literally locked in a cage by a white witch he must work day in, day out and run miles with a wristband on that contains acid. If he runs to far this band breaks open spilling the acid over him. At this point in the novel you are Nathan, Nathan is you. I thought she wrote this well, but at first I was a bit confused but got where she was going after the first page. He tries to escape. It do not work.

Legacy: An Anthology by Adria J. Cimino and others

Although this is not paticularly fantasy I thought I'd spread the word...

I started this review planning on giving each short story a separate review but it ended up to long for my own liking. I equally don't know how to review this with out doing each story separately, here's to trying.....

The eternal ones by Kirsten Miller

What if love refused to die? I love the whole concept of two people reincarnated over and over again and every time something or someone is there waiting to mess it up. So do you give up? (No never) most lives you find each other, but some you do not. Imagine falling in love over and over again with your soul mate/true love! Most girls dream of this.

So basically Haven Moore, a seventeen year old has visions of another life in another time. Her name constance, whose love for Ethan ended tragically. Her grandmother say's magazines are satan's work, So when she comes across a boy who's famous who reminds her of Ethan, her friend tell's her who he is. Rich guy, Iain Morrow. Haven needs to know if he is her soul mate. She travels to New York.

A love affair begins.....

New to this.....

Hi guys (or should I say, anyone who may or may not reading this) *Awkward wave* I just wanted to say, I'm new to all this. I have not ever really reviewed anything until the few posts before this. Other than one amazon product I hadn't even bought (just because they were ripping people off) but technically that didn't even get posted as it was refused *Laughing inside*....
I read anything that comes my way good or bad, I can not stand to leave a book unread *hmph*  
None of my friends read (because they are extremely lame) so really I made this as a place to vent after a bloody good book or cry after a rubbish one. *Slanted smile* Hope I ain't doing to bad a job of it of course if I am you ain't got to read it ;) 
Have a good day yall!! xx

Guards! Guards! (Discworld) by Terry Pratchett

This was the third Discworld novel I read. First being Wyrd Sisters, second being The Colour of Magic. Don't ask, I like a bit of non-order. From the first pages mentioning the night watch I fell in love with vimes and his world, from a few more pages in, I fell in love with the watch. Thus starting my secret love affair with every watch novel that i came into contact with! What a great start for the gang. You get vimes, nobby nobbs, colon, carrot the last lost king, dragons, lots of dragons, fat, jolly, strong women and the patrician... So maybe i'm biased but did i mention Vimes? THIS BOOK WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!! Any fantasy lover will love these books, all of them, every last one. Not one creature goes unnoticed by Terry Pratchett. He writes like words were made for his use alone. If it was a crime to be as intelligently funny as this writer is/was, he would of been hung a long time a go, because as we all know time is a funny thing with loopholes. I now (after reading his full works) consider these the standards by which i judge all books. READ THEM ALL, ALL OF YOU, RIGHT AWAY.............
                                                                 THE END!

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Reviewed this... Poooof review magically did not save! Making me extremely moody! Read the prequel trilogy, William Herondale was a gem (excuse the lame ass pun), Tess was great. Amazing series. So I then picked up these.....

Because demon slaying is addictive, witty characters are lovable and badasses are fun. This book was the best out of six, I fell in love all over again with the shadow world. What I don't get is How can a prequel be better than the original?

Divergent Trilogy by Veronica Roth

I don't know why people compare this to the hunger games. They have for a start two things in common - A female lead and a horrible government. I'm pretty sure they are not forced into an arena and made to kill each other as entertainment. maybe i'm wrong? The rulers are corrupt yes. But still they do it because they think it's right, not for enjoyment. I enjoyed this book to a certain degree. 

All your life, you know one thing. Factions. When you turn 16 you must chose to stay or leave for another, but never look back. So what happens when you find out what you knew was a lie?

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

Okay so this gets a 3.5 maybe a 4 from me. There is something about writers that can set the whole book in nearly the same place all the way through with out it getting repetitive or boring.

The cave in this book really does it for me. I now have this thing for any books written like this one!! Interesting plot, let's face it better than her other book series.

The aliens have invaded, what, where? That's just my neighbour! This could happen, I like that. It makes you think 'my god damn neighbour could be one of these. Lets go live in a cave/underground cavern'.

Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

All I have to say is what the hell happened to Ridley Duchannes? Badass caster with a lolly pop! She was the best thing about Beautiful Creatures (okay maybe not the best thing, but one of them.)

Link done my head in all the way through. These two were my favourites (my guilty pleasures) and right now I say give me Lennox Gates any day at least he might liven rid up again! Link spent the whole time trying to change who he fell in love with *boreoff*

The new additional characters were fun, some of the time. I was left not really knowing who they are so looking forward to finding out.

Even after all this I still kept reading it. I love the caster world. I also kept praying for a bit of mean rid! Hopefully the next brings it out in her. I do not want to read about crying again!

The end though left me ripping my hair out and wanting the next book in my hands. FIRE cliffhanger!

If you love casters you know you have to read this because you just can't help yourself! If you don't know what they are read beautiful creatures first....

The Raven Boy's by Maggie Stiefvater

I was in for it from the moment I read the first line....'Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she'd been told that she would kill her true love.' Maggie Stiefvater is a sucker for these lines, I knew from the start I would not put this book down. God damn it I was meant to go out with friends, oh well (kinda thing) and as books go it only gets better as you read! 

I want Blue's family as my own. My mum reads tarots amazingly, but a full family under one roof WOW. I love her house, I love the way they are together, basically I love it all.

St Mark's Eve, Church yard, ghosts of the not yet dead. OMG! YES! Blue can see a boy's spirit though she can't see the others.... She asked, "will you tell me your name?"................. "Gansey", he said....... "Is that all?" she whispered.
Gansey closed his eyes. "That's all there is."

"There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St Mark's Eve, Blue. Either you're his true love," Neeve said, "or you kill him." ..... Maggie you are trying to kill me!! She is going to kill her true love. Death by kiss. What! 

Then the boys are introduced. Gansey, Adam, Ronan and Noah. They remind me of stand by me. That kind of innocence but not innocence at the same time. They know what they are doing and nothing is going to stop them. I love the wildness of it all. Boys being boys plain and simple. So cool when someone gets it so spot on.

I know from half way what I want Gansey to be to Blue. Adam with Blue just annoys me. I love Adam but just as who he is.
You find yourself wanting more Ronan and I feel you need more Noah to really love him.

The group love each other and that is brilliant to be a part of, even if you are just reading. GO AND BUY THESE BOOKS RIGHT AWAY!!
None of my friends read. Which makes me depressed, I've been dying to tell someone to read The Raven Boy's for agesss.....
