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!

Fated by Alyson Noél

Strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her,crows mock her, and glowing people appear from nowhere. Worried that Daire's having a breakdown her mother sends her to stay with the grandmother she's never met, who lives on the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico.

Daire must embrace her fate a a Soul Seeker and discover whether Dace is the guy she's meant to be with . . . or if he's allied with the enemy she's destined to destroy.

Such an amazing read! It had me from the very first page, it was creative and not like anything i have read before, this book has been eagerly awaited and i am sure will not disappoint! 5/5
