Meet a Blogger Monday: Moirae the fates book reviews (4)

Photobucket

There are so many great bloggers & blogs out there. A lot of which don’t seem to be known about real well, or are new and trying to get the word out about them. So how can I help?

I wanted to start Meet a Blogger Monday mainly for the new bloggers, or less well known ones that would like a little love. This way you get to know them a bit and can go check them out for yourself!

 

Your name: Lily
Name of Blog: Moirae the fates book reviews
Blog Url:
http://moiraethefatesbookreviews.blogspot.com/

Country you live in: USA

How long have you been blogging? Since September 2010

Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things? Book reviews.

What genres do you read/review? I read everything but romance and manga. (Like from the romance section, however Karen Moning's fever series I have read, but that is more paranormal then romance.) I read YA, paranormal, horror, true crime, fiction, non-fiction, history books ect.

What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why? The YA genre has exploded and there are so many talented authors with wonderful stories out there. I also like a lot of the adult books, the stories are more invovled and there tends to be bigger story lines. When I want a quick read I read YA, when I want a longer more involved read, I read adult.

What’s something unique about your blog? I think just the vibe and feel my blog has is different from the others I have seen. I try t make it fun and also very to the point. I feel that the people who go to book blogs are there for book reviews and that is what I try to solely provide.

Who/what are your favorite...

Books? I have loved Catcher in the Rye for years as well as the Harry Potter books.

Series? Harry Potter is number one for me.

Authors? So many just a few are, Lauren Kate, Stacey Kade, Rachel Hawkins, Karen Marie Moning, Stephen King, Frank McCourt, Jocelynn Drake, Colleen Gleason, Dean Koontz,PJ Tracy, Brad Thor, and many more.

Literary characters? Love me some Eric Northman! Luce Price, Daniel Grigori, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Holden Caufield.

Literary couples? Luce Price and Daniel Grigori from Lauren Kate's "Fallen" series.

Villains? Voldemort.

Supernatural beings? Twilight ruined vampires for me LOL I really enjoy the Fae.

About me:

I'm 24 years old, I love animals, I am in the military, been reading since I was 2 1/2. Rude people bug me. I have noticed that sometimes people with the same name have a similar personality. For example everyone I have met with the name "Lori" have been some of the funniest people I have ever met.

I love the show Supernatural, I am a Dean fangirl and I kinda hope Sam leaves the show so we get more Dean. LOL

REVIEW: Pleasures Untold by Lisa Sanchez

 

Pleasures Untold,Lisa Sanchez,book covers,books

Pleasures Untold by Lisa Sanchez
The Hanaford Park series
Publisher: Omnific Publishing

Pub Date: February 8, 2011 
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Reading Level: Adult
Paperback: 191 pages
ISBN: 1-936305-59-3

Summary:

Hell hath no fury like a witch done wrong. Pissed off and packing an arsenal of witchy mojo, Martha is on the warpath. Determined to avenge the murder of her mother and grandmother, her mission is simple: kill every vampire, demon and underworld bastard she comes across, because one of those hell beasts might be the monster that stole her childhood from her. But when a sexy Latin vamp literally falls from the sky, saving her from becoming an undead Happy Meal, she has no choice but to reassess everything she thinks she knows.

Xan is an anomaly --a vampire born, not turned. A powerful warlock who walks in daylight, Xan spends his days, and nights, watching over Martha, protecting her from Lucian, the blood-sucking monstrosity whose sole mission in death is to drain her dry. Undeniable attraction and the promise of pleasures untold draw the two lovers into a frustrating dance of one step forward, two steps back. When Lucian throws down a deadly ultimatum, Martha is forced to choose between relying on her own mystical woo woo to save the lives of her stolen friends or succumbing to the lure of dark, voodoo magic. Xan and Martha must work together to save those closest to her and put an end to Lucian's reign of terror before it's too late. (Summary from publisher’s website.)

 My Review:

We met Martha in Eve of Samhain as a secondary character. In Pleasures Untold she takes the forefront, and boy am I glad we get to know her better. This goth-dressing, vampire hunting witch has a lot going on and a major secret she’s guarding.

With the appearance of Xan, things start to get a bit complicated. The gorgeous Latin bartender saves her, but in the process reveals the fact that he’s a vampire, a very powerful vampire. There is much more than meets the eye to Xan, and Martha must battle her growing attraction towards him against her hatred of vampires. Could she really have a guardian vampire? Is there such thing as a good vampire?

As if this isn’t enough, there is a sudden rise in attacks in the area. Something big is on the rise, and it’s effecting everyone and will soon hit Martha very close to home.

Martha and Xan are wonderful main characters to follow and their chemistry is, well it’s just hot! Martha’s roommate Jessica plays a large part again in this novel, and there’s a new addition named Taylor. The two girls add in a lot of comedic touches along with a sense of normalcy every now and then to the chaotic supernatural world.

Pleasures Untold was a fast read, with characters that I’ve grown to love and hope to learn more about. There are times that some of the symbolism, metaphors, and language detracted from the story, yet other times they are very entertaining. Overall a great adult read!

REVIEW: Eve of Samhain by Lisa Sanchez

Eve of Samhain,Lisa Sanchez,book covers,booksEve of Samhain by Lisa Sanchez
The Hanaford Park series
Publisher: Omnific Publishing

Pub. Date: May 25, 2010
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Reading Level: Adult
Paperback: 216 pages
ISBN: 1-936305-20-8

Summary:

As a college senior and server at Hanaford Park's hottest nightclub, twenty-one year old Ryann Pierce's plan was simple: work hard, make lots of money, and avoid the ass-grabbers at all costs. What she never planned for was Quinn Donegan—the living, breathing advertisement for sinful behavior that waltzed into her life.

With an angelic face, a hard body and a butt-load of charm, Quinn had a way with the ladies—a lot of ladies. Cursed with a deadly, addictive touch, his trail of indiscretion blazed across five hundred years. Tired and jaded, Ryann is a shocking revelation Quinn didn't see coming.

Filled with desire, yet unable to touch one another, Ryann and Quinn embark on a daunting journey, battling frustrating physical limitations while exploring their new love. In a race against the clock, Ryann learns she must plead for Quinn's life before…the Eve of Samhain. Determined to end her lover's suffering, not even the danger dogging her every move can keep her from her mission. (Summary from publisher’s website.)

 My Review:

Eve of Samhain is the first novel in The Hanaford Park series by Lisa Sanchez. Ryann Pierce is your average college student, working her way through school and living in an apartment with her roommates. Then one day her world is rocked my the appearance of Quinn Donegan. The epitome of sex.

Quinn can have any woman he wants and with just a touch can make a girl weak in the knees. Women are his specialty and he’s spent centuries honing his skills. With his amazing touch there is a price though, and one that he might not be willing to pay this time.

Without being able to touch each other, can Ryann help save Quinn from his centuries old curse, or are they both doomed? Is it possible there’s another threat looming over them both too?

Ryann is a character that took me a bit of time to like. Though I really liked her strength towards the opposite sex, her lack of confidence in herself got rather irritating at times. I got most annoyed with her talking about the size of her butt way too often. Quinn had his jerk filled moments, but also could be a loveable and swoon-worthy guy. Then there’s Ryann’s roommates Jessica, her BFF, and the new scary gothic Martha. Both of them cracked me up.

I read this book all the way through without pause. It was a quick, fun read. While there were some metaphors that took me out of the story a bit a few times, overall the language used in it had me cracking up. The characters are all intriguing, and the setting makes you feel like it could be happening in any city around you.

When Lucian throws down a deadly ultimatum, Martha is forced to choose between relying on her own mystical woo woo to save the lives of her stolen friends or succumbing to the lure of dark, voodoo magic. Xan and Martha must work together to save those closest to her and put an end to Lucian's reign of terror before it's too late.

Meet a Blogger Monday: Midnight Twilight’s Book Blog (3)

Photobucket

There are so many great bloggers & blogs out there. A lot of which don’t seem to be known about real well, or are new and trying to get the word out about them. So how can I help?

I wanted to start Meet a Blogger Monday mainly for the new bloggers, or less well known ones that would like a little love. This way you get to know them a bit and can go check them out for yourself!

Meet a Blogger Monday,Midnight Twilight's Book Blog,banner,button

Your name: Kayla

Name of Blog: Midnight Twilight's Book Blog

Blog Url: http://midnighttwilightsbookblog.blogspot.com/

Country you live in: United States

How long have you been blogging? Almost three years, but because of some personal things I took almost a year off in the middle. I've been continuously blogging again since September.

Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things? I mainly do book reviews, but I've also been known to do author interviews and giveaways, and just recently I've started participating in a couple book related memes.

What genres do you read/review? I mostly read paranormal/fantasy, but I've recently started to really like dystopian, and every once in a while I'll read a contemporary book.

What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why? I prefer young adult books, but sometimes I'll sneak in a middle grade book or an adult book. I feel like I can relate more to young adult books. I started reading YA books in middle school, and now that I'm in college YA is still my genre.

What’s something unique about your blog? I like to keep my reviews short and sweet. Some bloggers write out long, detailed reviews, which is great in learning about a book, but I don't have the attention span for that. I give a book a rating out of 5, give a short summary about the book, and then give my general opinion on the characters, plot, writing, and anything else I think might be important.

Who/what are your favorite...

Books? Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Series? Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and Evernight by Claudia Gray

Authors? Laurie Faria Stolarz and Kimberley Griffiths Little

Literary characters? Fang from Maximum Ride and Cammie from Cross my Heart and Hope to Spy

Literary couples? Katniss and Peeta from the Hunger Games and Rose and Dimitri from Vampire Academy

Villains? Cadel from Evil Genius and Damon from the Vampire Diaries

Supernatural beings? I love vampires and all the different myths that different books use about them. I like books about zombies, too, but I don't really like the zombies themselves (they kind of creep me out more than any other paranormal being).

Meet Kayla:

Thank you so much for having me here! I started my blog because I wanted to have a place where I could keep track of all of the books I've read and how I felt about them at the time. But now the book blogging community has grown so much it's amazing to be a part of it and have discussions with other people about books, and get some great recommendations on what I should read next!

Check out Midnight Twilight’s Book Blog

Thanks Kayla for letting us get to know you better!

666+ Follower Giveaway!!!

I’ve reached 666 GFC followers! It’s kind of surreal how many of you read my blog. Back in December I passed my 1 year blogiversary & let it go by without much to say about it. I sometimes forget that I’ve been blogging so long. Then at other times, I can’t imagine what I did before this. It’s such a part of my life. I know I get in blogging funks every now and then, but I love what I do and you all are the reason that I keep on doing this.

So I figured what better milestone to have a giveaway for on this blog besides my 666th follower! It’s just too fun a number. Lol!
