Masque of the Red Death

By: Bethany Griffin

Expected Publication: April 24,2012

Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find something not just to live for, but to fight for—no matter what it costs her

I can't wait for this book because it sounds like it will be very interesting and I love the beautifully dark cover as well.

The Vicious Deep Review

The Vicious Deep

By: Zoraida Córdova

Expected Publication: May 1,2012

Goodreads Synopsis:
For Tristan Hart, everything changes with one crashing wave.

He was gone for three days. Sucked out to sea in a tidal wave and spit back ashore at Coney Island with no memory of what happened. Now his dreams are haunted by a terrifying silver mermaid with razor-sharp teeth.

His best friend Layla is convinced something is wrong. But how can he explain he can sense emotion like never before? How can he explain he’s heir to a kingdom he never knew existed? That he’s suddenly a pawn in a battle as ancient as the gods.

Something happened to him in those three days. He was claimed by the sea…and now it wants him back.


My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book,it was well written and the characters were well developed, they give you back story on the main character and his family throughout the book. The story was unique and I love how the authors describes the mermaids and mermen. I also loved how this story was from a merman's point of view because when you think mermaids, you think of girls not the guys. This story has a little bit of romance and some awesome adventure. I am super excited for the books that are sure to come as the ending leaves you wanting more.

My Soul to Keep Review

My Soul to Keep

By: Rachel Vincent

Published: June 1, 2010

Goodreads Synopsis:

Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them.Until something does.Demon breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind. The kind that really can kill you. Somehow the super-addictive substance has made its way to the human world. But how? Kaylee and Nash have to cut off the source and protect their friends—one of whom is already hooked.And so is someone else…

My Thoughts:

I was so mad at this book, Nash was so cute and sweet, dang it! Poor Kaylee she just can't seem to keep trouble away from her and her friends and family. I can't believe how when I went into this book I was team Nash and then by the middle of the book and through the end I switched to team Tod, and his softer side. I can't believe Nash and how he acted and let himself get into the mess he was in. I can't wait to read the next installment and see if it will make me swap teams again or if I'll stay team Tod or if I'll be stuck somewhere in the middle! This book was well written and kept me reading the whole time just like the first two but I do have to say I liked this one and the first one the best number two was good but it wasn't my favorite.

This Week's Question: 
What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?






My Answer:
I really don't know, I am always scared for books to be turned into movies because I've never seen a book turned movie that lived up to the book, close but not as good. So I guess any book I've ever liked would scare me, Harry Potter being turned into a movie scared me, they were good but not as good as the books, The House of night series being turned into movies worries me and the Alex cross novels being turned in to movies worried me but the two that re out are good but not as good.

  The Taken

By:Vicki Petersson

Expected Publication: June 12,2012

He’s a fallen angel. She’s a rockabilly reporter. Together they must solve a deadly string of murders plaguing the mortal and the immortal worlds.

Griffin Shaw used to be a PI, but that was over fifty years ago when gumshoes hoofed the streets . . . and he was still alive. Now he’s a Centurion, an angel who assists other murdered souls through their journey to the afterlife. But while Shaw might be an angel … he’s no saint. Haunted by the mysterious events surrounding his own death, he seizes a chance to wreak some vengeance when he witnesses a deadly attack on journalist Katherine “Kit” Craig.

Joining forces, the unlikely avengers take to the streets, hunting a killer whose trail of bodies stretches across Las Vegas and into an immortal netherworld. It is a dangerous trek that lead them into the darkest corners of Sin City and into the heart of an evil conspiracy extending beyond the lights of the Strip that could destory them both.

But destruction isn’t the only threat Griffin faces. The closer he gets to Kit, the more he finds himself bewitched by her mortal charms. Can he resist falling under her spell? And does he want to?

This book sounds awesome, can;t wait to read it, hot ex PI angels and beautiful journalists what combo could be better!!

This Week's Question is:

Have you ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review?

My Answer:

I have not ever bought a book BECAUSE of a bad review, I don't usually buy books based solely on others reviews because just because someone didn't like a book doesn't mean that I won't like it so I read others reviews, read the summary of the book and then think really hard on whether or not I want to purchase the book.
