The Mercedes Thompson series by Patricia Briggs



This isn't for this book, but the third book in the series instead. (They're all amazing!) *Spoiler Alert!*

Iron Kissed (Mercedes Thompson, #3)Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was simply AMAZING. I wondered for a while how Ben knew all of that about her but then I remembered why he had come to America. And I still don't think that completely justifies it, nor does his own abuse as a child. Still, I love the way Briggs explains things through her readers; She gives everyone time to catch up, but doesn't let the fast thinkers get bored while doing it. And the last line! Oh man, I wanted her to elaborate a little on that. :)

Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead


Hello all! It's been way too long! I think I should start this up again though, although weekly may be a bit much, but be sure to check back once a month for sure!

Succubus Blues is a very interesting book by Richelle Mead. I absolutely loved it and it is one of my new "favorite books of all time".
It's about a succubus who is tired of being a succubus, she wants to live as a human and so she only steals the life force from sleazy guys rather than the real good guys. She works at a bookstore and she's super excited that her favorite author is coming to do a book signing. Her best friends are two vampires and a demon, (if you don't count her cat). When someone starts killing other immortals, she is suspected of being the murderer! She goes out investigating and meanwhile tries to juggle a love-life. The problem is, the guys who like her at the moment are really good guys and she doesn't want to hurt them by doing anything that would steal their lives from them. That means no kissing for Georgia Kincaid!
This book is soo well written, I really loved it. Some twists may have been hinted at ahead of time, but nothing that you'd be able to actually guess before it happens. This book is fresh and exciting! It's the first in the series of Georgia Kincaid books, so get started reading it now!!

Sorta Like A Rock Star

Okay so this book is special because it's not a series, but I haven't had a chance to read any fun normal books yet while I've been in college and so this is the only one that I've read in a while.

I actually cried when I read this book. It was unreal, I never cry during books. The book can be really sad and I'll just keep trudging through it.

That does not mean that this is a sad book at all though, on the contrary, this book is soo happy and uplifting that it made me feel special just reading it because it's about a girl in high school who is living in a school bus because her mom and her cannot afford a house or apartment unless her mom is dating a new boyfriend who will let them stay there. Amber Appleton is the sweetest girl and she goes out of her way to make others feel at home. She started a club for the "misfits" in her school called the Franks Freak Force Federation and she has a puppy that she rescued from the streets called Billy Big Boy or B-Thrice.

Amber is a girl who goes through a lot of horrible things and through her faith manages to stay happy still and while the climax of this book is an uber downer, you will not be disappointed with this book if you like happy care-free teenagers dealing with life problems in high school type books lol :P... or if you're just looking for something new in-between your vampire reads haha
