Endlessly by Kiersten White

This was the third and final installment to the Texas Lonestar award winning book Paranormalcy.  It has been a trilogy with Supernaturally being the second book.  This was a very good trilogy.  It dealt with you guessed it, Paranormal beings of all types.  From the fey to banshees, unicorns, dragons, vampires, werewolves and more.  In the end Evie has to open a gate for all paranormal beings to go through to get back to their realm.  Evie and Lend are of course tested but their love story is a good one!  It went along with the other two stories seamlessly and there weren't that many surprises.  The characters really came together in this final book but it would have been nice to know what really happened in the end with Lend and Evie.  It gives you a sense of an ending but not a definite one.  I really enjoyed the characters though, they were all very sarcastic and funny; very easy to relate too! I enjoyed this trilogy and know anyone that reads it will too.  Very happy reading!

The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot

This was another book by the same author of Abandon and Underworld that I just read.  I thought I'd try another, this one wasn't up to par with the Abandon trilogy.  It is a young adult novel. The plot or storyline was pretty generic, we've already heard this story before.  It's just with different characters.  While reading this I could've pictured this as part of a TV sitcom episode or a corny romantic comedy movie.  It's about a country girl who made the big move to New York to make it big in journalism.  She's a writer for a gossip column in a New York newspaper.  Events happen and she's thrown into an unsuspecting relationship with a man named John who is suppose to be Max Friendlander, a popular photographer.  She doesn't know his true identity and the whole book is about them falling in love with each other and him trying to figure out when to tell her who he really is.  Of course she ends up finding out about him lieing to her before he can tell her and it goes down hill but ends up having a happy ending. Yay.  It was kinda corny for me but then I usually don't read these types of books!  If you're into chik-lit this book would be for you.  The other thing I didn't really like was that the whole book is written in emails.  Absolutely no dialogue or normal writing.  EVERYTHING is emails.  Happy Reading!! I'm excited to be on to my next book! 

Underworld by Meg Cabot

I LOVED THIS BOOOOOOOOK!!!!  This is the second book in the Abandon Trilogy by Meg Cabot.  I read this 230 page book in a day, I couldn't put it down.  The romance is even more present in this book since Pierce is finally figuring out what she really wants where John is concerned.  You will also find out about more of Johns past and history along with his "friends" that are introduced in this book.  I absolutely love the characters.  Pierce and John are great for each other and as usual after reading this you'll want to have a talk with your man....hehe=)  But it also throws in another problem that has long been there ever since Johns century.  It puts Alex and Kayla in peril just like Pierce.  I won't give to much away!  The last book, Awaken, isn't due out until 2013 though!!! AGH! So bummed about the wait, but after reading these books I will definitely be looking into more books by meg cabot.  Very Happy Reading!!!!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

This was such a great book!  I've found quite a few great books in a row!  Mara Dyer has had a hard year.  She remembers absolutely nothing upon waking up in a hospital bed surrounded by her family and nurses.  She soon learns that her best friends and boyfriend along with herself were in a horrible building collapse.  The weird thing is that she's the only survivor and the only one that really say what happened that night or why they were even in an old building.  She has such a hard time that her family moves south to Miami Florida to start anew.  Immediately Mara starts seeing her dead friends and is taken to the psychologist and given medication.  She's having more and more episodes that she has no control over and has no idea what they mean.  Things get even worse when she figures out that she has inadvertently killed people by just wishing they were dead.  To make things more interesting the school hunk, Noah, has taken an interest in her.  She it totally not wanting anything to do with him.  Isn't great love stories always how it starts out?  Eventually Mara and Noah find they have quite a bit in common and set off trying to solve all their problems together.  This was a great story with something new around every corner.  I didn't want to put it down, but I must warn you!!!  The ending will totally piss you off.  There will definitely be a second book, but Michelle throws a TOTAL left curve at you on the last page of the book that will leave you closing the book yelling dammit!!!  Will definitely visit Michelle Hodkins website to see what the second book will be and when it will be out!!  Happy Reading!!!!

Abandon by Meg Cabot

This is the first book in the Abandon series and it was awesome!!! Absolutely loved it.  I have to admit I was a little wary of Meg Cabot. Her series the princess diaries just didn't seem like my cup of tea. I've had this book on my flash drive for quite some time and finally decided to give it a whirl.  I'm a sucker for mythology books and a modern twist of a story with gods and goddesses.  So anyways, this involves not hades, but another underworld deity falling in love with a regular human being.  It's mostly a deep love story but there's also plenty of twists and turns and problems that Meg leaves for you to try and think about throughout the story.  The main character, Pierce, has the underworld deity, John, smitten.  He has fallen in love with her and that means underworld creatures such as the furies are after her to make John suffer.  This is such a good love story that is not sappy at all.  As I said there are plenty of other problems that arise and are not just laid out for you, you kind of figure them out along with the characters.  I really want to get my hands on the second book, Underworld.  Very happy reading with this one!!! Especially if you're looking for a great love story without being over the top...

Haunted by Joy Preble

This book was the sequel to Anastasia written a couple years ago.  I thought it was much better written than the first book.  There was more action, romance and way more twists and turns that were totally unexpected.  I really like how Joy twines history in among the supernatural and of course brings romance into it also.  It is one of those books that you actually have to pay attention while you're reading since there are lots of references that pop up later in the story that refer back,  a lot from the the first book.  There will definitely be a third book.  This second book is brought to a close but it is also left open to see what will happen.  This is a really good series, especially for being the first published by Joy Preble.  I would strongly recommend it!  I'll be looking into the third book, Happy Reading!!!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

HOLY COW, I absolutely loved this book!!!! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history.  Yes, there's vampires but they are shed in a totally different light than what you've read before.  The book follows Abe's life from birth all the way to "death".  This story makes you wonder, it was so closely related to history.  It makes you question if it could have really happened the story was told in such a way. I'm not going to tell you too much of the story but I will tell you that when I closed the book upon finishing it i said, "wow".  I've had this book on my shelf for a couple of years and actually had forgotten about it until I saw the movie trailer for it.  I thought the movie looked really good but wanted to read the book before watching the movie.  Now that I'm done reading it I can't wait to see the movie.  I can't say it enough, I absolutely loved this book!!!! Very happy reading with this one!
