Publication: September 28th 2004 by Laurel Leaf (first published 2003)

Goodreads Summary:
In a land that has been at war so long that no one remembers the reason for fighting, the shapeshifters who rule the two factions agree to marry in the hope of bringing peace, despite deep-seated fear and distrust of each other.

My Review: I probably could not describe the depth of my love for this book when I first got a hold of it in Middle School. Man I read it so many times I could probably recite it. It's not so much for adults as for younger teens but it is still pretty amazing! I'll have to give it a 5/5 for being my favorite book many years ago (yeah I'm bias so what?)

Goodreads Summary:

He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too.

When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it. Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.

My Review:

Wow this book pretty much rocks my socks. In fact this whole series is absolutely fabulous so far. Mac is in for an adventure and not the good kind. She's being forced to help two very powerful characters: V'lane the Seelie prince (mmmm gorgeous) and Barrons (infuriatingly delicious. What the heck is he!!!), both of which are selfish and dangerous. And I know I prattle on but What IS Barrons! He is seriously grating on my nerves with this secretive-ness he's got going on. Will we ever know? But I digress, this book re-inflamed my love for this series and I'm so fixed I just HAVE to know what happens next and I don't even have the next book! (NOOOOOOOO!!!) I'll just have to go out and buy it, no biggie. I highly recommend this book (for adults) and give it a 5 (yes 5) out of 5. READ IT!!! (if you're an adult).

P.S. I know I'm supposed to do YA reviews but this series is just so awesome I couldn't pass it up!

Yeah, yeah, I get it already!

Just so everyone knows, Kate, my sis, has directed me to read many of the books I've reviewed. She has brought it up on a recent post, in the form of a comment. If you haven't seen her site, it is theneverendingshelf.com, but I'm pretty sure everyone already knows. There, woman ya happy now! I gave you some credit where it was due BUT don't forget! I wrote my own reviews! MINE MINE! That's all ya get! I love you!

I'll post another book review in a few days, everyone so don't fret!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games

Author: Suzanne Collins

Publication: October 1st 2008 by Scholastic Press (first published September 13th 2008)

Goodreads Summary:

In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place


My Review: Wow Goodreads doesn't to this book a bit of justice, what a short summary. ANYWAYS! This book is absolutely wonderful and a bit dark. Many of the people that live in the twelve districts are starving and struggling, while the people in the capital have rich food, plastic surgery/amazing medical advancements, and high tech. technology. In district 12 it's pretty bad, the main character, Katniss, is often forced to break the law and go outside the gates to the forest to hunt, which is also illegal. Apparently there were thirteen districts and they started an uprising against the capital, which ended badly and results in now only twelve districts thanks to the thirteenth being obliterated by the capital. Also the capital created the Hunger Games, which forces each district to give up two competitors, ranging between the age of twelve to the age of eighteen. The capital forces them to fight to the death leaving only one standing to win the prizes and glory for their district. Back to Katniss, She becomes a competitor to save her little sister from having to compete when she is chosen.

There that's a little better sorry if it's a little messed up, I don't do summaries very well. Oh well, back to the review part! This book is absolutely AWESOME!!! It's an edge-of-your-seat-page -turner tat you won't be able to put down! Well at least I couldn't ha ha ;P I finished it in a day and it's not exactly the shortest book ever. I really, really, really recommend this book to anyone who hasn't read it yet and I definitely give it a 5/5 my highest rating yet! 0_O I actually gave a full 5 out of 5... AMAZING!!! It's because this book truly deserves it and by the by:Yep I just did that!
(found this pic on google so don't say I made it or anything 'cause I didn't)

Happy Easter everybody!!!!

The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Author: Beatrix Potter

Publication: September 16th 2002 by Warne (first published 1901

My Summary: Peter Rabbit gets in all kinds of trouble when he strays into Mr. McGregor's garden...

My Review: This is such a cute book! I love it! I mean, come on, who doesn't love mischievous clothes-wearing bunnies? This book has been here for over a century and it is STILL a children's favorite. I know I loved it when I was little. If you haven't read it, then I suggest you do. Even if you are a full grown adult, I'm pretty sure will enjoy it.
