Forget me never by Gina Blaxill

Minutes after Sophie visits her cousin Dani, Dani is dead.

The Police verdict? Suicide.

Once Sophie recovers from the shock, she knows instinctively that the verdict is wrong. But who would have wanted Dani dead? When she finds an incriminating memory stick in a pair of Dani's jeans, Sophie decides to uncover the truth.

She asks her friend Reece for help, and together they discover that Dani was involved with something very dark. Something very dangerous. As they get in deeper, they but themselves in serious danger, accessing secret data, facing kidnap attempts and worse - while also facing their felling for each other...

Sophie needs to trust her instincts-

And her heart.

When Gina Blaxill's Pretty Twisted came out I have to admit I was not overly keen on it, merely down to my own preferences however Forget me never was a total exception! This book had me on the edge of my seat wondering if Sophie and Reece were going to make it through, It was beautifully written and I would recommend it for ALL young book lovers! 4/5

The Darkening Dream By Andy Gavin

The Darkening Dream is a new dark fantasy novel by Andy Gavin.Even as the modern world pushes the supernatural aside in favor of science and steel, the old ways remain. God, demon, monster, and sorcerer alike plot to regain what was theirs.
1913, Salem, Massachusetts - Sarah Engelmann's life is full of friends, books, and avoiding the pressure to choose a husband, until an ominous vision and the haunting call of an otherworldly trumpet shake her. When she stumbles across a gruesome corpse, she fears that her vision was more of a premonition. And when she sees the murdered boy moving through the crowd at an amusement park, Sarah is thrust into a dark battle she does not understand.
With the help of Alex, a Greek immigrant who knows a startling amount about the undead, Sarah sets out to uncover the truth. Their quest takes them to the factory mills of Salem, on a midnight boat ride to spy on an eerie coastal lair, and back, unexpectedly, to their own homes. What can Alex's elderly, vampire-hunting grandfather and Sarah's own rabbi father tell them? And what do Sarah's continuing visions reveal?
No less than Gabriel's Trumpet, the tool that will announce the End of Days, is at stake, and the forces that have banded to recover it include a 900 year-old vampire, a trio of disgruntled Egyptian gods, and a demon-loving Puritan minister. At the center of this swirling cast is Sarah, who must fight a millennia-old battle against unspeakable forces, knowing the ultimate prize might be herself.

I loved the fact that the book involved many ethnicity's and different points of views from these religions including Jewish, Greek Orthodox and Christian. Another thing that I loved was the way the story was told. It wasn't your typical vampire novel the fact that the vampire wasn't portrayed as a sparkly human loving creature was a big plus for me don't get me wrong Twilight were good books aswell but the fact that these vampires were SCARY made it for me. Also the way alot more mythological beings and monsters were incorporated made it much more of an interesting read. Gripping and Thrilling 5/5!

Debutantes by Cora Harrison

It's 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but are stuck in the middle of the country in a enormous crumbling house, with no 
money to buy any fashionable dresses as to make an impression. The excitement of the city seems to be a world away.

Luckily the girls hatch a plan to escape their dreary way of life: Rose want's to become a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy to be a famous film director, Violet on the other hand wants nothing more than to become the perfect Debutante so she can go to London and catch the eye of an eligible bachelor and out an end to the family's money problems.

However a house as large and old as Beech Grove manor holds many a secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover a secret so large it could ruin their plans and even lives- forever..

Debutantes surprised me, usually I get bored while reading a period drama type book, however Debutantes gripped me, the mystery of the book really did it for me along with the originality of the family we are reading about. This book is original and I certainly can not wait for the next one. I for one will be first in line!

The end is most definitely nigh!

Follow Riley Blackthorne in this thrilling fast paced conclusion to the demon trappers series!

Riley Blackthorne kicking hells ass one demon at a time! But will this be the last?

I loved the Demon Trappers series right from the very start and this was no exception! Foretold is a gripping and spellbinding conclusion to this dark and wonderful series!  Jana Oliver was witty and clever in the way she tells us the story of Riley and Beck's roller coaster of a relationship. 

One thing is for sure, the Demon Trappers have seriously gone out with a bang! 

Review: Cracks By Caroline Green

Who do you trust when your whole life is a lie?

Cal’s world splinters apart when he finds out he’s been in a deliberately induced coma state for most of his life, and what he thought was real was only an illusion.

Escaping his captors, Cal goes on the run, determined to fight the forces behind the nightmare he finds waiting for him in the real world, and to discover his true identity.

This book honestly had me that on edge that i was actually digging my nails into the palm of my hand! The tension never  stops getting more intense. Beautifully written, I found myself many times wanting to actually get in the book and help Cal, but instead had to hold my breath and read on. Such an amazing thriller! 4/5

Being Human by Patricia Lynne

For Tommy, there is only one thing he needs to do: survive. 

Only surviving isn't that easy. The hunt for blood can be tricky when humans know to fear the night. Desire sits on the edge of his mind, urging him to become the monster humans think he is. Vampire Forces, a special branch of police, is determined to turn every vampire to ash. Tommy included.

The only human Tommy can trust is his twin brother. A bond connects them, and with Danny's help, Tommy starts to understand the human world he struggles to survive in. He'll learn what friendships means and feel the sting of betrayal, find that sometimes the worst monsters are very human, and come to understand that family means more than blood.

Tommy just wants to survive and he knows what he needs to do. But with the number of humans that mean more to him than a meal growing, he'll learn there's more to life than simple survival. He'll discover being human doesn't mean being a human.

( POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!)

Tommy wakes up a vampire his human memories slipping fast , survival is all he knows, Tommy kills his parents to quench his thirst, only one person remains, his twin brother, Tommy's last link to his humanity.

Being Human is such an unusual twist on your 'average' vampire story, It is written in first POV (Tommy) and is wrote in sections rather than chapters, It spans across around 30-40 years (My guesstimate) which is something that i found unusual but really enjoyed as you got to see how everything changed but Tommy, how his brother grows old as he stays the same.

The story is set in the near future, where vampires are known about but not accepted, people always walk in crowds and carry mini flame throwers to protect themselves!

Being Human was surprisingly touching and I often found myself wanting to befriend Tommy to help him regain his humanity. It explored the bonds of Family, no matter who or what your family are you stand by them if they mean that much to you. Altogether it was a great read and always had me wanting to know what happened next! 4/5

Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

Glass Houses is the first of 13 book so far in the Morganville Vampires series.

Welcome to Maorganville.
Just don't stay out after dark.

Morganville is a small town filled with unusual characters - when the sin goes down, the bad comes out. In Morganville there is evil that lurks in the darkest shadows - one that will spill out into the bright light of day.


For Claire Danvers, high school was hell, but college may be murder. It was bad enough that she got on the wrong side of Monica, the meanest of the school's mean girls, but now she's got three new roommates, who all have secrets of their own. And the biggest secret of all isn't really a secret, except from Claire: Morganville is run by vampires, and they are hungry for fresh blood....

'DUMP MEYER'S TWILIGHT BOOKS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE MORGANVILLES'- SFX magazine.

I received the first book as a freebie in a magazine, I had seen it in the shops and often considered buying it but always decided against it assuming it would be yet another predictable vampire story. However when I started to read the book my mind was totally changed! It was like nothing I have read before! I enjoyed it so much as soon as I finished the book (the next day) I went out and bought the rest! I think what I enjoyed the most about the book is that the main characters in the first book were human (ish) and the vampires where something more talked about than actually appear most of the time. It was cleverly written and TOTALLY GRIPPING! I know I say this alot but all these books i have reviewed are just so good! 5/5!
