Review: Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James

Title:               Beautiful Malice
Author:           Rebecca James
Pages:             285
Catagory:        young adult



The story:

'Truth or dare?' She asks. 
I hesitate. 'Truth,' I say finally. 'I can imagine one of your dares, and I don't fancy running down Oxford Street naked tonight.' 
'Truth,' Alice says slowly, drawing out the vowel sound as if she's savouring the word. 'Are you sure? Are you sure you can be completely honest?' 
'I think so. Try me.' 
'Okay.' And then she looks at me curiously. 'So. Were you glad, deep down? Were you glad to be rid of her? Your perfect sister? Were you secretly glad when she was killed?' 

Katherine has moved away from her shattered family to start afresh in Sydney. There she keeps her head down until she is befriended by the charismatic, party-loving Alice, who brings her out of her shell. But there is a dark side to Alice, something seductive yet threatening. And as Katherine learns the truth about Alice, their tangled destinies spiral to an explosive and devastating finale. 

An intense and addictive psychological thriller

The view of a book addict:
First I have to admit that I read the book in dutch, so the title for me was  “schitterend kwaad”. As a reader of fantasy in every form I Love to read something completely diffrent from time to time. And this is a book that’s been on my to read list for a very long time. I finally decided to pick it up and I’m not sorry I did.
The story is so gripping from the first line to the last, you get sucked into the story and I just had to keep turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I loved the storyline, it was sad but the way it was written was really beautiful.

The verdict of a book addict:


A great book, I think this is a book that really deserves a chance to be read because it’s really beautiful.

Author:          Dana Michelle Burnett 
Pages:           194 ( on my e-reader )
Catagory:      young adult, ghosts

The story:


A love that refuses to die… 

“As I watched him vanish into a soft mist that faded away, I knew that he was no ordinary spirit…I knew that he was a dangerous entity that could be in some corner of another realm planning his revenge, but I also knew that I was hopelessly in love with him.” 

When Becca moves into her ancestral home in Corydon, Indiana, her life takes a puzzling and thrilling turn when she meets the ghost haunting the halls. As the seductive spirit lures her closer and closer, she learns about her own past and starts to understand that some mistakes are meant to last. 

Becca McAllister has always been different from other girls her age. Never part of the "in crowd", Becca never really fit in anywhere. When her mother dies and her father moves them to the small town of Corydon, Indiana, Becca didn't expect things to change. 

But things do change when Becca accidentally makes contact with a one hundred and sixty year old ghost, Alastor Sinclair, that haunts the halls of her new home. 

To Becca, Alastor is a seductive spirit that seems to see straight into her soul. To Alastor, Becca is what he was waited a century for--A second chance. 

But the closer they get, the more Becca realizes that this isn't the first time she and Alastor have known each other. Worse still, is she the one responsible for his death so long ago? And if so, did he come back for love or revenge?


The view of a book addict:


When I got the request to read this book, I really wanted to read it but I never imagined that it would be this good! The story just sucked me in and as I read the last line of the book I wanted to cry out that it couldn’t end like this.

I love the writing style and although I sometimes hated the main character because of the way she acted it never made me hate the book. The story is just really amazing and as I said before it just sucks you in.

The verdict of a book addict:


An amazing book and I just can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Review: Drink Deep by Chloe Neill

Title:               Drink Deep     
Author:           Chloe Neill
Pages:             321
Catagory:        Vampires



The story:


Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down. 

That's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly. 

Chicago's mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for vampires and humans alike

( Taken from Goodreads )
The view of a book addict:


I just love this series, so I really wanted to know how the story would continue. Merit is one of my favourite vampires and I just love how Chloe Neill portrays her. This story was really good if you ask me, the things that happened in this book are really surprising.
I didn’t know who was behind all the magic in the book right until the end. When the other characters in the book found out who did it. So that’s a great thing about this book, you don’t know right away what’s going on and who did what.

The verdict of a book addict:


A great book in the series, I loved it from the first page to the last. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Seventeen year old, Armani Radnelaq a full blooded BaSatai is plagued by a curse in her blood. A curse created from hate and designed to break the divide between two parallel worlds of Earth and H-trae when Armani's blood is spilled in attack and she dies. 

S'teuqoubs have been travelling back and forth across the divide for centuries without trouble. The BaSatai and Guardians monitoring activity and enforcing rules to ensure peace and harmony but if the divide splits and opens, a much greater number of supernatural S’teuqoubs will filter into earth destroying equilibrium which the BaSatai and Guardians will be unable to control. Humanity and the BaSatai will suffer and perish. The parallel divide must remain secure at all costs. 

Armani has remained hidden on earth with her adopted father Elijah since her birth. She has been raised in the human way and fights her natural instinct to evolve into a BaSatai. The BaSatai in her requires her to evolve and shift, use her powers and strength. Yet Armani is freaked out by the need to shift.

She refuses to accept her fate and doesn't believe any BaSatai should die to protect her. 

The blood curse maturing in her veins makes her a target for her enemies. Her Guardian Karhl and an elite BasSatai Warrior Rafael are the first to arrive and prepare her for her crossing over. Her attraction to Rafael complicates her purpose to stay on earth even more. They both insist she fall into line and follow their lead but she is not ready to leave earth just yet...

The view of a book addict:


When I got the request to review this book I didn’t doubt to say yes. The story just spoke to me. And I’m glad to tell you that the book didn’t dissapoint me, I had to struggle a little to get into the book but once you get it it a really great story.
You get a chance to meet a lot of characters, but it’s never confusing. I loved the storyline it was something I  haven’t read before. The story is well written and it explains everything you might not understand. That’s what I love most about this book. In a lot of fantasy novels they have special names for things or creatures but never really explain them. This book explains them in the story, because the main character has to learn a lot herself.

The verdict of a book addict:


Although I had a little trouble getting into the book I really loved the story and I can’t wait to read what’s going to happen next.

I could describe this book in one sentence but I’m not going to do that. I’ve been a fan of this series from the first book and I can’t wait to read the next book everytime it comes out. So this book wasn’t an exception. Being a history geek the whole storyline spoke to me. I really loved it, the whole ghost thing.

The story:
Spooky tales told while huddled around a campfire. 
Memories of "the good old days" shared by grandparents. 
Alien invasions by flashlight, under the covers, after bedtime. 

Short stories are like Forgotten Treasures you find in a trunk in the attic, just waiting to be discovered. 

Inside this book lurks a Christmas loving demon, a pirate ghost who becomes flesh only one night a year, and an ancient Egyptian god who longs to be a god of rock-n-roll. 

These tales, and many more, are anxious for you to open the cover and dust them off.

The view of a book addict:


So first of all let me tell you that I love everything Lisa writes. So when I found out that she publiced a book with short stories I just had to read it. And just as I suspected she didn’t dissapoint me.
Some of the stories are beautiful, some are surprising and some are just really scary. I just know that some of the stories I’ve read will haunt me at nigt and keep me scared of the dark shadows. While others made me cry because they had such a beautiful and lovely ending. Once again I can’t help but just fall in love with the Lisa’s writing style.

The verdict of a book addict:


I love short stories and I love the way Lisa Kessler has wrote them down. I would recommend this book to everyone I know.

The story:

April Dunne is having a rough time. There are vampires in her school. Not Goths, or Emos in fancy dress. Dangerous, blood-sucking semi-immortals. They run the school. They pretend to be students at it. And they're using their influence to recruit smart, rich students - aka 'bleeders' - to their own cause. What is that cause? April isn't sure. But she knows they killed a rock star for it, and innocents who got too close to the truth. One of them almost killed her. But that's nothing to what's coming next. Gabriel, her kinda-boyfriend, is dying and unless April can find a cure then not only is she going to be boyfriendless, she's also going to lose one of her major allies in the school. And she really needs allies. Because it turns out April has an ability of her own, one that could prove lethal to the 'Suckers' who've taken over the school. If any of them figure out what she is, then losing her boyfriend will be the least of her problems

I loved the first book in this series, the whole vampire story and the fact that it was set in England. So I was really looking forward to the second book and I have to say it did not dissapoint me.

Catagory:      
Distopian, Young Adult



The story:


Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. 

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. 

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war-- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now. 

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior. 

In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a world as riveting asThe Hunger Games and a superhero story as thrilling as The X-Men. Full of pulse-pounding romance, intoxicating villainy, and high-stakes choices, Shatter Me is a fresh and original dystopian novel—with a paranormal twist—that will leave readers anxiously awaiting its seque

The view of a book addict:


Let me start by saying that I love the writing style of this book, it’s just amazing. You have to get used to it the first couple of pages but once you are it’s beautiful. I was really looking forward to reading this book because I believed it would be an amazing book. And it was, it’s a great story that grips you and just spits you out at the end of the book.
After reading the last page you can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen in the next book, I loved the characters, all of them even the bad ones. You get a little glimpse of all of them in this book and of course you get the chance to get to know the main characters of the book.

Great story, I loved the characters, the way the words were used and how the ending keeps you on the edge of your seat for more!

In Caldwell, New York, war rages between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Now the cold heart of a cunning predator will be warmed against its will...

Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous, son of the Bloodletter, possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future.

The view of a book addict:


I can’t help the fact that I’m in love with the brotherhood, they just had me from the first book. But this book was a little less exciting than the rest. I missed the action the other books had but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like the book.
What I like most about the books is that you get the chance to learn more about one of the brothers but still get the chance to see what’s happening with the other ones.


The verdict of a book addict:

Maybe not the best book in the series but it’s definitely a good one! I really want to know what’s going to happen next for the brothers.

Sam and Dean Winchester know all the secrets their father recorded in his journal. Now you can too.
On November 2, 1983, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. In the wake of the tragedy, their father, John, set out to learn everything he could about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America . . . and how to kill it. In his personal journal, he not only compiled folklore, legend, and superstition about all manner of otherworldly enemies but also recorded his experiences—hunting the creature that killed his wife even as he raised his two sons.
Part prequel, part resource guide, John Winchester’s Journal finally gives fans the ultimate companion book for Supernatural. It’s all here: the exorcism Sam and Dean used in “Phantom Traveler,” John’s notes on everything from shapeshifters to Samuel Colt, Dean’s first hunt, Sam’s peewee soccer team . . . and John’s single-minded pursuit of a growing and deadly evil.

The view of a book addict:


At first I didn’t know what to think about this book, because this story is so different from the Wicca series. The main character of this book isn’t someone I would be friends with at least not the girl in the beginning. She is a spoiled rich kid, but as the story goes on I got a bit more sympathy for her.
I loved the way this story has been told, you get to know the person as well as her past. The way the book is written you get the feeling that you’re living the life of the main character and I love that way of storytelling.


The verdict of a book addict:

A great book, that you just can’t put down. For me Cate Tiernan did it again, she made a great world were secretly you would like to live in.

I didn’t see the ending of this book coming and that’s just what made this book so good. When you read a lot there comes a point where you just know what’s going to happen next, but this book surprised me.
Just like the first book I loved the characters in this one, the old ones and the new ones. They all bring something to the story and they all keep you guessing about their motives. I really like Riley she is one of my favorite characters in a book. I can’t wait to read what’s going to happen next.

I requested this book on Netgalley, the story just spoke to me. It took some time but eventually I got it. I loved every page of this story, it’s exciting, there is romance, there is a handsome vampire so what more could a girl wish for?
The story moves along in a fast pace and is viewed from the point of the two main characters. Because of this I believe you do get the full story, because you know how both characters feel throughout the book.

The view of a book addict:


My best friend told me I had to read this book, because she read it and loved it so much! So I listened to her and started reading it, I loved it! It’s such a wonderful story, a story I’ve never read before. Between all the book about vampires and werwolves this story was a breeze of fresh air.
I loved the romance in this book, but I also loved the action in it. For me it was the perfect combination and it was hard for me to put this book down.

A great book and I’m so glad I’ve read it! Thanks to my best friend for recommending this book to me!

The story:

Two and a half centuries ago, Calisto Terana lost everything when a zealous priest murdered the woman he loved. Now, desperate for another chance to love her, he wants redemption for the mistake that cost her life.

The view of a book addict:


I loved this book, being a member of the street team for this book I couldn’t wait to read it and I wasn’t dissapointed. The only time I was dissapointed was when I read the last page of the book because I want to read more!

I fell in love with Kate for being such a wonderful character and I fell in love with Calisto for being himself. I just couldn’t put the book down, but I had to because I had to work. The story just captured me from the first line, and it wouldn’t let me rest until I read the last sentence. And even now I can’t get the book out of my head because of the amazing ending that tells me that there is more in store for Kate and  Calisto. I caught myself screaming at my e-reader when the book became exciting and I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t help myself and fear for Kate and pray she wouldn’t die. 


The verdict of a book addict:


This story just keeps you on the edge of your seat and praying you find someone like Calisto. An amazing book by an amazing author! The only thing I can do now is wait for the next book to come out! If you ask me this book is one of the best books that came out this year!

The view of a book addict:


I loved this book, the story was great and it really kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the way you get the chance to get to know the main character. After reading this book you really know her.
As I said before it’s a great story, the main character kicks butt and I love a great heroine. It’s great to read another view on vampires, one that isn’t standard but I loved it.

The verdict of a book addict:


A great book and I can’t wait to read more!
