My Review: Bite Me

Bite Me by Parker Blue

From Goodreads

Young Adult Vampire Hunter

A Fictionwise Fantasy Bestseller

An edgy book for teens that spans the gap between YA and adult fiction. Life after high school is tough enough without having to go 15 rounds with your inner demon. Val Shapiro is just your ordinary, part-demon, teenaged vampire hunter with a Texas drawl. And a pet hellhound named Fang. Soon enough she finds herself deep in the underbelly of the city, discovering the secrets of the Demon Underground and fighting to save those she loves. Whether they love her back or not.

My rating: 4 stars


Val Shapiro is a teenager who is part succubus, part human. She has been trying to live her life as a normal human girl that has no friends, only keeping her demon part tame by being a vampire slayer. One night as she is stalking out vampires her younger half sister hides in the car. She gets in a heap of trouble with her parents and they kick her out of the house. Now Val is out on her own, not knowing if there are others like her. What she finds will surprise you.

Parker Blue did a wonderful job with the character development. I really like Val she is a strong kick butt, snarky heroine, my other favorite character is her dog fang. Fang also has a snarky attitude that matches Val’s.
This novel is full of non-stop action. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about Vampires.

I received this book from NetGalley for review.

Follow Friday #5

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee View.

This week's question is:

  

Do you judge a book by it's cover?

 

Yes!  When I'm in the book store I scan the shelfs and when I see a book with a cover I like I will pick it up to see what its about.

My Review: Clarity

Clarity by Kim Harrington


From Goodreads

When you can see things others can't, where do you look for the truth?
This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats.
Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift.
And a curse.
When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case--but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother--who has supernatural gifts of his own--becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?

My rating:  5 stars


I just finished the book in 5 hrs and I loved it!!!!!!!! Kim Harrington spun a great story with a murder/mystery twist. Just as I thought I had it figured out another twist would get thrown into the mix. I really hope there is going to be a 2nd book. I would like to read more on Clare and her family.

Waiting on Wednesday #4

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

BloodLines - By Richelle Mead

Expected publication: August 23rd 2011

 

 The first book in Richelle Mead’s brand-new teen fiction series—set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

My Review: Don't Breath A Word

Don't Breath A Word -  by Jennifer McMahon

From Good Reads

On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn’t fear the dark and doesn’t have bad dreams—who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam’s hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed—a promise that could destroy them all.

My Rating 4 Stars

I received this book for review from NetGalley.  This title will be released on June 1, 2011.

This is the first book I read by this author and it won’t be my last.  I like the writing style of Jennifer McMahon.  Don’t Breath a Word is a fast read, it was creepy, ghostly, disturbing and yet compelling.  The story flows nicely, once you get used to the jumping of dates, it becomes a seamless read that will leave you wanting more.  You really feel connected to the characters and you can't wait to see what is going to happen next.
