“While you’re deep in something, you never say or do what you need to. It’s always after the fact, when it’s too late, that you realize what you should’ve said or done.”  Daemon will do anything to get Katy back. After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure. All Katy can do is survive. Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen? Together, they can face anything.  But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come

He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna. Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns? Well... That was a beauty!

INDIGO SPELL by Richelle Mead

“I'll just love you whether you want me to or not.”   In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next. Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vam

THE GOLDEN LILY by Richelle Mead

“Nothing he said could change what I think of you. I've had my mind made up about you for a long time... and it's all good.” Sydney would love to go to college, but instead, she’s been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California–tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist. But the closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age–old Alchemist beliefs, her idea of family, and the sense of what it means to truly belong. Her world becomes even more complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi—the fiercest vampires, the ones who don’t die. But it’s her fear of being just that—special, magical, powerful—that scares her more than anything. Equally

BLOODLINES by Richelle Mead

“The greatest changes in history have come when people were able to shake off what others told them to do.”  Blood doesn't lie... Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning... To be honest, I didn't kn

Readers captivated by Twilight and New Moon will eagerly devourEclipse, the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's riveting vampire love saga Oh. Did Jake left or was it just a dramatic impulse of the mind??? Anyway, I like Eclipse. There was a lot of emotions inside the book. Love, Pain, Anger, Jealousy, etc. It was cool in the Twilight way. The love triangle was very entertaining. It was nice to

NEW MOON by Stephenie Meyer

“Romeo wouldn’t change his mind. That’s why people still remembered his name, always twined with hers”  For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen.

TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…" Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear.

This is a love story with bite. So it finally comes to where it all began! The phenomenal Twilight Saga. I was never a fan of vampires because of the movie Twilight. I dislike it so much I only was able to watch the first movie. The movie was so stiff, you k

ENTWINED WITH YOU by Sylvia Day

“If souls could be mated with wishes, ours would be inextricably entwined.”  The worldwide phenomenon continues as Eva and Gideon face the demons of their pasts, and accept the consequences of their obsessive desires…  From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something I couldn’t resist. I saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside–so much like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat. No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I’d been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become. Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession… I was disappointed. It did not gave me that same feeling of thrill, excitement, and passion as to the previous installments. Maybe my expectation was too high. I don't know. It jut didn't do me. Especially the ending

When the band hits it big, Kiera and Kellan must ask themselves: Can their love for each other survive the constant pressures of superstardom?

Fame comes with a price-but will it cost Kiera and Kellan everything?  I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS BOOK! IT WAS... IT WAS... IT WAS FUCKING PERFECT AND THE BEST!

But life offers new challenges for every relationship, and when Kiera’s love is put to the ultimate test, will it survive? Love is easy . . . trust is hard. Awww. This is the sweetest thing ever! It took me a long time to read the second book because I damn hell got really pissy at Thoughtless because of Kiera's indecisiveness and desperation I love and hate that book so fucking much. It was so true so realistic that it was freaking annoying but then... Since I got no more to read I started reading Effortless. I really prayed that this book won't make me throw my copy across the room again. Hopefully, it didn't! I like it

SAVING GRACE by Christien Zolendz

“No matter what happens from here, know that I have always, I will always love you and I will always protect you.”  After spending over 2,000 years being a lost soul looking for the angel I was forbidden to fall in love with, I finally found him. Lucky for me he has taken up residence inside the hot body of NYC’s local bad boy, tattooed rock star, Shane Maxton. Turns out, not only is he absolutely perfect, so is the whole Grace Taylor life that I’m stuck in. The only problem is Gabriel. An archangel who wants me all to himself so he kind of kidnaps me. Now I have to find my way back and hope everything works out… This book totally confuses me. Haha. Like is it really about the angel stuff or the sex. It is so weird that all of a sudden the sex suddenly became the point of it. Like when did it turned out to be like the fifty shades, delivering the sex with full details. It was so funny actually because the paranormal factor is set aside and was not given importance. I don't

FALL FROM GRACE by Christine Zolendz

"How you look doesn't change what's in your soul.”  I'm finally home after struggling through my brother's illness and death. But, home is definitely a bit different. My best friend (the only person alive now that knows my secret) has a new boyfriend; and he has a friend. Shane Maxton: bad boy, tattooed rock god, eye candy extraordinaire. He is also New York City's most arrogant, self-serving, son of a, well, a definite one-night stand kind of a guy. But, it doesn't matter to me because I've spent my existence looking for the love of my life, my angel. And, there is nothing that Shane Maxton can do to change that. A paranormal romance. Well, that was interesting albeit weird. I think the fundamentals and concept was a bit of a mess but the way it was delivered was very good. I enjoyed the temptation, pain, heartache and drama because it was so mundane, so human which was a total contrast to what Selah was all about. She was the t

CURSED by Jennifer Armentrout

"He liked me— really liked me. Even after seeing my scars. It was like hitting the jackpot of awesome guys." Dying sucks ...and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand.  After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows. Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember learns the accident that turn

CITY OF BONES by Cassandra Clare

“Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.”  When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her moth
