I loved the idea that Marie Antoinette is protrayed as a serial killer bent on revenge. I loved the historical aspects of it as well and I loved how it hits the ground running on the very first page!
The romance was pretty sweet and the mystery was really good. I wasn't exactly sure how it was all going to end, but I thought it all came together nicely....more

In trying to keep tI liked it ok. It kept my interest that I wanted to finish it and find out answers to my questions and find out what was going on.
In trying to keep the suspense and mystery up that it just became too confusing so it was too much and it felt like the plot was all over the place.
Also it was creepy but not scary, at least I didn't think it was scary in my opinion. I liked the characters ok, but again it was just the confusion of everything going on I think it took away from the connection I normally have in reading a book.
But I love the cover and the ending has me intrigued enough that I would probably read the sequel just so I can have more of my questions answered.
I really liked it! A re-telling of the fable Bluebeard and it was creepy and spooky with a bad guy that was beastly, vile and so cruel! Sophie was an I really liked it! A re-telling of the fable Bluebeard and it was creepy and spooky with a bad guy that was beastly, vile and so cruel! Sophie was an awesome character, she was strong and endearing. I loved all the supporting characters too, all distinct and individual.
The setting was beautiful and majestic and at the same time at a rough time in our history. I could picture the abbey perfectly in my head with all the ivy and moss covered stone, the beautiful gardens and dresses.
The writing was rich and beautiful, I really loved the way the story pulled me in and kept me captivated, on the edge of my seat until the end....more

I really liked how it caught you up on what happened at the end of the Nightshade series without dragging down the story and plot. The story was told from lots of different POVs this time around and one of them was difinitely a surprise!
The tension is really high in this story due to the pivotal events of how Bloodrose ended. I had always wondered why Bosque had such an interest in Adne and I serioulsy cannot wait to find out! Because of course this is a 3 book series and did you really think we would find out the $3 million question in the first book?? Yeah, no!!
But that's ok!! Because it was really good! Had me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails to the nubs! I'm so anixous about the sequel for the next book because I have all these thoughts in my head about what's going to happen next! And there isn't even a release date for it yet much less a cover! ...more

Lots of I liked it, though I thought it was a little slow to start, especially with the long chapters but after about chapter 5 it started to pick up.
Lots of mistrust and manipulation, but I thought the manipulation part was really genius on the author's part. Once it was all explained at the end I couldn't help but admire the bad guy's ingenuity and mastermind, sick as it was I still couldn't help myself.
I feel like the series is winding down and I'm really curious to see how it all ends. I'm a little anxious too, especially for Claire and her friends. How can things end on a good note? I want Michael and Eve to have their HEA, but I just don't know how that is going to happen....more
OK, there was soooooo much that when on in this book, it's ridiculous. It was my favorite of the series so far, it was so dang funny and I laughed so OK, there was soooooo much that when on in this book, it's ridiculous. It was my favorite of the series so far, it was so dang funny and I laughed so hard my family thought I was nuts when I would just crack up out of no where.
Lucas has been my favorite since the beginning and now I think he is a jerk, shame on him for what he did to Kylie. And Derek is sweet, he was really there for her when she needed a friend. I'm so sad for Kylie, everything she went through from normal teenage stuff to trying to get a handle on her abilities and what they all mean...BTW I think it's soooo cool what she can do even if she thinks she a freak.
OH!! C.C. Hunter you really know how to make a person sweat!! You know what part I'm talking about, I almost lost it, completely lost it!!! I can not wait for Chosen at Nightfall!!!!...more
I really wanted to read about Helen's story and how she found love also wanted to know how Evie and her sisters would beat the bad guys. I liked this I really wanted to read about Helen's story and how she found love also wanted to know how Evie and her sisters would beat the bad guys. I liked this book cause all my questions are answered and I liked the answeres, I liked the ending. Lynton is Helen's perfect match to be sure, and I did get a little emotional at the ending, at first I thought I was going to be mad but it turned out not to be a tragedy so it's all good. I only want one thing....now I want to read Velvet's story and see how she finds love so maybe there will be a new series for her, I can only hope....more

The mystery was really good, it was kind of creepy and it held my attention. I really liked Donovan and Jade's characters. They were so cute together. They were so shy with each other and it was really sweet.
I had my list of suspects and went round and round with them until it was clear at the end who it was. And I liked the diary entires that were intermittently throughout the chapters. It gave a clear sense of what Kayla was like when she was alive. And she was not a nice person when she was alive and not a nice ghost either. A bully in life and evil in death.
But I didn't so much like the part about the gem stones and how they played into the story. I thought that part of the story was just too convenient, how one gem Jade would be wearing would fit whatever situation was happening.
But in the end it was the characters and the anticipation of finding out who was Kayla's killer and why that kept me glued to the pages....more
It was a good sequel, answered some questions and shed some light on some things from the first book. The Gray Man was really really creepy, I wished It was a good sequel, answered some questions and shed some light on some things from the first book. The Gray Man was really really creepy, I wished Hayes and some real romance of her own. And I hope to see more from Madison's POV in the next book, at least there had better be a next book cause really I'm left hanging here with that ending. ...more
I liked this one the best out of the series so far, even though I was getting really REALLY frustrated with Lucas...who is my favorite between the twoI liked this one the best out of the series so far, even though I was getting really REALLY frustrated with Lucas...who is my favorite between the two guys...cause he was kind of being a jerk and I wanted to slap him a couple of times.
My heart stopped at one point when the thing happened to Burnett...really had me going for a min there...and yes I did get a little teary eyed at the end and I wasn't even really attached to that character but Kylie was and it was really sad.
Finally we get somewhere with Miranda/Perry and (view spoiler)[Holiday/Burnett (hide spoiler)] YAY!!! And we learn what she is, not sure what to think about that, but ok I guess.
Who is the ghost at the end, not sure what to think about that either. At least it will only be til Oct that Whispers at Moonrise will be released so I don't have to wait that long. ...more
Surrender was the perfect ending to this series. And yes I cried, it was sad at the end with Coby and then The Rake but I really liked it. Bennett wasSurrender was the perfect ending to this series. And yes I cried, it was sad at the end with Coby and then The Rake but I really liked it. Bennett was so sweet as always and Harry, Lukas, Sara, Natalie, Coby, the jock ghosts and even Edmund were awesome characters, so funny and fierce, intense and powerful characters. I really liked the way it ended....more
I love this series!!! The Last Echo seemed a little slow at first or maybe I just couldn't get into it cause every time I tried to pick it up someone I love this series!!! The Last Echo seemed a little slow at first or maybe I just couldn't get into it cause every time I tried to pick it up someone wanted my attention for something, so frustrating! LOL :) But anyway such as life I guess, so once I finally did settle into it, the pages were just flying and I couldn't read fast enough.
Finally we see more of "The Team" and what they can do, also I'm glad that Violet stood up to Gemma...she really annoyed me with her glaring at Violet all the time, I mean I get why and all but I still don't like her, maybe my opinion will change in the next book and we can see a different side of Gemma but until them she is just irritating. Also I'm a big fat sucker for a dark, brooding bad boy, I can't help it, Rafe is who Violet should be with not Jay. Jay is sweet and all but I'm just waiting for him to do something to piss Violet off, like when he tried to make her "jealous", ever since he did that I haven't liked him as much and then of course there is Rafe...sweet, sweet Rafe cause he really is under all that moody, stand-offish persona he gives off. And also I have to commend Violet for at least trying to stay with Jay and telling Rafe no, but I hope that she will recognize when her feelings with Rafe are not going anywhere she needs to cut Jay lose.
And the whole thing with her parents being scared and not wanting her to do that anymore, I get that to, but how can she not do that anymore cause as long as she has this ability she will always have that risk of being in danger, it's a no brainer really but then at the end when she talked with Dr. Lee...GASP...what a cliffhanger. I mean really I don't know if I'll last till April 2013!!! ...more

I can't wait to read Destiny and see who this great love for Helen is going to be....more
Dark Souls is about a girl named Miranda, after an accident where her friend Jenna is killed and her brother Rob blames himself because he was drivingDark Souls is about a girl named Miranda, after an accident where her friend Jenna is killed and her brother Rob blames himself because he was driving, Miranda is sitting in the grass waiting for Rob to be cut out of the car she sees Jenna's ghost. That's the first time she starts seeing them, 6 months later her family go to York, England for a family vacation, and York happens to be the most haunted city in the world. She is seeing ghosts everywhere, she sees one in the house across the street from where they are staying, he is very handsome with dark eyes and hair and she can't stop thinking about him. She meets meets another guy named Nick, he dresses like a Goth, he's pale and he shows her all the places where ghosts are haunting. He also seems to have secrets and is very enigmatic, soon things start happening to a bar where her brother goes (he likes the owners daughter). Who is breaking in to the cellar to the pub? What is Nick hidding? Who is the ghost in the attic across from Miranda's room?
I did guess the who was doing it (but there was a twist behind it), but I didn't the why. It was a good story, I thought it was better than Ruined, Morris did leave it open for another book hopefully there will be....more
Darker Still was an awesome read, very spooky and eerie, romantic and enchanting. Kind of reminded me of The Mortal Instruments by Cassie Claire with Darker Still was an awesome read, very spooky and eerie, romantic and enchanting. Kind of reminded me of The Mortal Instruments by Cassie Claire with references to a "society" and also of The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson or Nevermore by Kelly Creagh because is was really dark and chilly story.
Loved the charcters, Natalie is mute from a trauma as a child...she saw he mother be killed...but despite her handicap she is strong willed and tenacious, Lord Denbury is dashing and valiant but at the same time he left me wary because some of his actions made him look like he was up to no good and finally Mrs. Northe is a kind and motherly woman helping Natalie whenever she can.
I liked the story line a lot, centered around Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, where a portrait of Lord Denbury seems to be haunted and Natalie is drawn to it/him. With Mrs. Northe's help she needs solve the mystery behind the painting and rumor of Denbury's supposed suicide and is put in danger herself. What I really liked about the story was that at the end there are no lose ends, all of my questions were answered except for one, What did the demon mean by a "society"? But I guess I'll find out in The Twisted Tragedy of Natalie Stewart, Nov 2012 isn't too far away thank God....more

The only thing that bothered me was when Zach and his "friend" Erika were I love Elizabeth Chandler's writing, Back Door of Midnight was really good. The only thing that bothered me was when Zach and his "friend" Erika were kissing and dancing like they were more than friends when he didn't think of her that way, yet he didn't say anything or stop her and it drove me crazy, but that was probably the point. I couldn't predict who the killer was and was really suprised who it turned out to be. That's one of the reasons I like Chandler's writing so much is how she puts all the layers in the story and makes you think one thing and then in the end it's actually something totally different....more
Lauren Oliver did it again, I thought I was going to make through the book with out crying but didn't quite make it. This story was heartfelt and profLauren Oliver did it again, I thought I was going to make through the book with out crying but didn't quite make it. This story was heartfelt and profound also I just love love love Oliver's stories. After reading the author's note I found out that Oliver was grieving over the death of a friend and that her world had turned gray and gloomy and she had an idea for a book and this is what came of that idea, she said that this story reflected her journey of dealing with the loss of her friend and I for one am glad that she shared that with us, I love her writing but this book is so sincere and ture and is one of my favorite books....more
