Bleeding Violet Review

Bleeding Violet

By: Dia Reeves

Published: December 26, 2009

Goodreads Synopsis:

Love can be a dangerous thing... 


Hanna simply wants to be loved. With a head plagued by hallucinations, a medicine cabinet full of pills, and a closet stuffed with frilly, violet dresses, Hanna's tired of being the outcast, the weird girl, the freak. So she runs away to Portero, Texas in search of a new home.
But Portero is a stranger town than Hanna expects. As she tries to make a place for herself, she discovers dark secrets that would terrify any normal soul. Good thing for Hanna, she's far from normal. As this crazy girl meets an even crazier town, only two things are certain: Anything can happen and no one is safe.




My Thoughts:


At first this book confused me and honestly even through the story or at the end nothing was crystal clear but it all fit together. I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to finish this book at first because of how strange it was but it actually ended up keeping my interest. I liked the weirdness a cloudy plot which is unusual for me, because I like things explained till the are clear. I liked the main character Hanna because she had serious flaws just like a real person would. Wyat the male lead was flawed as well but strong, smart, funny and romantic. Rosalee put on a hard facade only to later to reveal her soft side.

This book was strange but interesting. It was crazy but kept me reading. I loved the main character because she is flawed like a real person. The  style of this book is very different from any other book I've read but I love  that everything is from the main characters perspective so there is quite a bit of dialogue.

Waiting on Wednesday {3}

Neferet's Curse

By: P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Expected Publish Date: July 17, 2012

With more than 12 million books in print, rights sold in almost 40 countries, and over two years on the New York Times bestseller list, the House of Night series is an international publishing sensation. Now, the excitement continues as the Cast mother-daughter duo shares the back stories of a few of the House of Night's most important – and mysterious – characters.


In the third House of Night novella, the secret history we've all been waiting for is finally revealed...  Neferet, the Tulsa House of Night's darkly seductive High Priestess, wasn't always a powerful vampyre, but she has always been beautiful. Raised in turn-of-the-century Chicago in a motherless home, her beauty makes her the prey of unwanted attention and abuse, leaving her with scars that will never heal – and a Darkness that will eventually need to find its way out. But when she is Marked and gains strength, both physical and magickal, she turns her anger into power and looks for a way to regain what was stolen from her. From victim to High Priestess, beautiful young woman to powerful seductress, Neferet's journey begins...

My Book Boyfriend {2}

I just got done with the novella Amethyst Bound by L. Shannon and Dr. Benjamin Davis was the male lead and he was super sexy, smart and kinda dorky but that totally sold me!

Dr. Benjamin Davis

• Shoulder length wavy Brown Hair
• Tan complexion
• Grey Eyes
• Broad Shoulders
• Long, lean body
• Archaeologist
• Obsessed with proving dragons exist

" I have no intention of leaving you. Being with you is a chance of a lifetime even without all the perks." I pulled back and wiped my face, embarrassed by tears. " What perks? Seems like being a kae'tolen is a pretty crappy job." 

He dragged me back against his body, where I felt his heart and arousal. His lips claimed mine in a gentle kiss that went on and on, leaving me quivering with want. "You are the perk. Never in all my life have I met someone like you. even if amethyst hadn't carried me off the mountain, I'd still have hunted you down, and I wouldn't have done it because of your pretty scales or a disappearing artifact." I was stunned speechless. With tears still slipping from my eyes and a silly smile on my face, I grasped at his words. " But I have an evil dragon and a bunch of vampires after me..." 

"So you need me. I like that feeling, I love you Toni." 

My Dr. Benjamin Davis is played by Paul Walker! I imagine just about everyone knows Paul Walker.

Amethyst Bound Review

Amethyst Bound

By: L. Shannon

Published: May 26, 2010 

Goodreads Synopsis:

Toni Giovanni is a thief although she prefers to call it the high-risk recovery business. Her current job feels suspiciously easy until a mysterious artifact draws her into an ancient prophecy and binds her soul to a spirited dragon named Amethyst. 


But Toni isn’t quite ready to be taken over by a dragon, even if Amethyst’s appetite for sexy archaeologist Dr. Ben Davis mirrors Toni’s own. And she’s got a big problem on her hands: turns out the prophecy predicts that dragons will end the world and there are many more dragons out there. 


Toni’s going to need all the help she can get.










My Thoughts:
I Loved the imagery used to describe the details in this book, The author did amazing. I also love the characters in this story, they are different from each other but that's what makes it work. I love amethyst, she is amazing, she is just what I figure a dragon would be like! I love the story line and can only hope that the author will soon have more of this story. The only thing I didn't like was the length of this story I know it was a novella but  I wish there was more to  it cuz I loved it! I love dragons and this was an amazing story about them.
