Synopsis:
It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

Why an experiment?

Basically, because I’m so stubborn I wanted to try new books with all the creatures that made me cringe in the past. I mean, my only experience with angels was my struggle to read this crappy abomination that is Hush, Hush (I think I deserve a huge chocolate box for that one, don’t I?)

That’s why I’m here. Thank you amazing Kat (click here to read her beautiful review) for reading it with me! I don’t know what I’d have done without you to share our WTF?!!

↬ You don’t want to live there. Good to know! Angels target big cities. Follow my example, my nearest neighbors are sheep. Woot-woot!

↬ Every food is your friend. Sometimes energy bar is the only thing you can grab. Other times that’s cat’s food. Don’t be vegetarian. Don’t be allergic. You don’t know what you’re going to eat.

↬ Instant-jerk reactions are welcome. If you see an handsome wounded angel, go help him. I know what you think, how in the world am I supposed to carry him and all that? But trust me : I just learnt they weight almost nothing. And, icing on the cake, if you manage to do that, you might win a sarcastic and swoon-worthy partner in crime from whom you can collect useful evidences about your enemies, and whose package involves :

✔ Warm hugs when you have a nightmare

✔ Witty comments to decrease the tension

✔ Fighting backup. That’s freaking useful when you walk in the world after (don’t count on it too much though, the help isn’t always coming)

↬ Improve your survival instincts. If someone tells you to run, you run. No hesitation. Being able to climb a tree is definitely a plus. And you have to run fast, because action never ends in an Apocalyptic world.

↬ A good preparation leads to success. You are way more likely to survive if you took self-defense classes in the past. I guess you have to start right now. One is never too careful.

↬ Don’t be a stupid brat. If your mother starts to talk about daemons, listen carefully and don’t do that children thing that is to say “Hmm hmm” without actually listening. Every information can be important.

↬ Remain focused on your goal. You’re not here to save the world, so just keep this in mind. Ah, you do. Good girl.

↬ Anyway, the most important thing you have to know, you new inhabitant of the world after, is the fact that the Angels are fucking stupid. And that’s that lack of pertinence or explanation for their presence on Earth that prevented me from truly loving this book. I mean, hey, I’m pretty cool with weird stuff but COME ON. In my opinion the world-building wasn’t that original but rather a strange combination of creatures who don’t fucking know why they’re here. ← That killed me. At some point, the whole world seemed just random. So fucking confusing. Not to mention the dystopia vibes with the Resistance. Been there. Done that.

Verdict : Penryn is an awesome heroine who deserves to survive : she has everything mentioned earlier, and above all that, she cares about her family and never loses hope. I loved her.

Verdict (2) : There’s no way I could survive. I can only hope apocalypse isn’t coming.

To sum-up : That’s safe to say that I couldn’t relate to Penryn. FORTUNATELY. This might have save her life – and save the book for me.

~~And Raffe. I really liked that witty angel.~~

BOOK REVIEW – Shadowfever (Fever #5) by Karen Marie Moning

Synopsis:
“Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.” — MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever. — Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

“You can’t save people from themselves. You can only try to wake them up.”

This is the End – The eeeeeeeeend. Oh. My. I’m totally remembering Muse song right now. What? I was a teenager, hey. I’m not even sure they’re famous anymore. What a pity.

Oh, here’s the town crier! Let’s hear what he wants. *whisper* I heard he was a bit crazy you know, so don’t expect he’ll make so much sense okay?

Ah, yes. I forgot to warn you : the guy is a friend of Dani. Because exclamation marks powaaaaa!

So, twists. I didn’t guess anything. And by anything, I mean, nothing at all. I’m such a dumb, seriously. Or it was really well-done and plain brilliant. Yeah, now that I’m thinking about it, that was mesmerizing. Who is Barrons? Who is Mac? Who is everyone? They could be dwarfs which have been morphed for all I know. Ha ha, you wish I could tell you, don’t you?

Yeah, I’m so calling them that in my head. The guys cracked me up with all their testosterones and threatening statements. See? That doesn’t bother me if Mac actually reacts and if they’re not pictured at love interests. I loved them.

“Ryodan thrust my clothes at me. “The Keltar women are out of control. They cook. They chatter. They laugh. Idiots.”

Mac’s mum comments were awesome right? Seriously, her apparition was so refreshing. Comments about V’lane being just-marry-him-already-guy? Maybe my longest laugh of the book. With Barrons’ conversation about dick. Don’t forget that one.

I know. I knooooow.

“Just saying, things ain’t always bad just ’cause you don’t understand ’em or ain’t like ’em. That’s like thinking anybody who’s smarter or faster is dangerous just ’cause they got more brains or quicker feet. Ain’t fair. Peeps can’t help how they’re born.”

I can finally clarify my opinion about Barrons, and what our weird relationship is. Such a mixed dichotomy. A mess, that’s for sure.

~~I’ll copy Mac and make a list of pros and cons.~~ Or maybe not.

PROS : Why I love Barrons and CONS, because there’s no such thing as me doing a clear-headed list about Barrons, duh.

“You’re roaches, we’re Raid. We’ll get rid of you eventually.”
” We. Are. Not. Insects, ” Velvet said tightly.”

#1 I really like his character, as in, I stayed intrigued and proud of the fact he is taking shit from no one, follows his own rules, doesn’t give a damn about the hypocrisy the world is filled with. He’s fierce, ruthless, strong-minded – and I love that side of him, “the Alpha that doesn’t play well with others and doesn’t take orders from anyone.”

#2 I strongly dislike him as a love interest, that is to say – could I drool over him? Nope. Am I weird to accept my book villains as murderers or selfish bastards but not as almost-rapists? Maybe. Perhaps I’m not being fair or clear or whatever. Oh, well. That’s what I feel. It seems that I can forgive a character for being ruthless and lawless, but not sexually offensive.

#3 Did I enjoy the way he was pushing Mac out of her comfort zone? Yep.

#4 Did I love the fact he was willing to do anything to achieve his goal? Hell yes!

#5 Did I resent the growing sexual tension these two were always bringing? Of course not, this was insanely hot.

#6 Did I want to finally see them together? Yeah, I did, I have to admit, they drove me nuts, these fucking stubborn.

#7 Did he bring an evil grin on my face almost each time he was talking? He did.

#8 to #98 I spare you my rambling. ~~I try anyway, I really try.~~

#99 Do I accept the explanation that as Mac wanted him anyway the whole time, his behavior when she’s Pri-ya doesn’t matter? I can’t. That reminds me too much of the statement which says that an husband can’t rape his wife. That’s not true. For me domination and even lust never permit to take action without a complete and freely given permission. That Mac couldn’t give at the time. End of story.

Anyway, I feel the urge to write it because I’m not sure my review made the point clearly : that book was awesome and I’m missing this world already.

Sigh. ← It reminds me some character in I-don’t-remember-which-one book who said he didn’t understand why girls kept saying sigh instead of, you know, sighing. Sorry, completely irrelevant. See you in – Well, I’m not sure I’m reading Iced. Guess we’ll see.

Synopsis:
MacKayla Lane lies naked on the cold stone floor of a church, at the mercy of the erotic Fae master she once swore to kill. Far from home, unable to control her sexual hungers, MacKayla is now fully under the Lord Master’s spell.…In New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning’s stunning new novel, the walls between human and Fae worlds have come crashing down. And as Mac fights for survival on Dublin’s battle-scarred streets, she will embark on the darkest—and most erotically charged—adventure of her life.

He has stolen her past, but MacKayla will never allow her sister’s murderer to take her future. Yet even the uniquely gifted sidhe-seer is no match for the Lord Master, who has unleashed an insatiable sexual craving that consumes Mac’s every thought—and thrusts her into the seductive realm of two very dangerous men, both of whom she desires but dares not trust.

As the enigmatic Jericho Barrons and the sensual Fae prince V’lane vie for her body and soul, as cryptic entries from her sister’s diary mysteriously appear and the power of the Dark Book weaves its annihilating path through the city, Mac’s greatest enemy delivers a final challenge.…

It’s an invitation Mac cannot refuse, one that sends her racing home to Georgia, where an even darker threat awaits. With her parents missing and the lives of her loved ones under siege, Mac is about to come face-to-face with a soul-shattering truth—about herself and her sister, about Jericho Barrons…and about the world she thought she knew.

Wow, hello, awesome book!

Where we stayed : in a King Size bed (yeah, I know, I know), an abbey ruled by a dumb bitch, a bus full of guns, a Fairy jungle hidden in the road, a hopeless cell, an asshole head (Now,that was pretty great), near dangerous cactus, in a circle of pee (yeah, I know, I know (2))… Mostly in Dublin.

Best part of the book : Emergence of Mac.4 Finally, the girl realizes that if everybody has an agenda, she has to follow hers. Whatever it takes.

Coolest thing we saw : Anytime Mac keeps the Alpha-Male in their place/fights like crazy/writes cool stuff in her journal like “Kick their fecking asses off our world!” (What? I was tired of the petunias)

Best food of the day : I’m not sure. Do they eat in this book? Wait, Unseelie? I miss V’lane’s chocolate that doesn’t make us gain weight.

Worst asshole comment : (What? These books are full of it, right?)

My Kindle just erased the quotes I had underlined. I might throw it on the wall after reading Shadowfever

(more) details?

– Characterization : Brilliant. All the characters are multi-layered, captivating, and make me feel both strong and mixed feelings. Yes I can’t bring myself to make excuses for Barrons’ sexually offensive behavior (no, that’s not okay for me, I don’t care if she’s Pri-ya, grow some restraint, asshole – and SHUT UP about it, what’s with the rape jokes? Seriously? Dude, you made me rage), yet that does not mean I’m not able to enjoy the excellence of his characterization and be captivated by his wicked way of thinking. I. am. In. Awe. of Karen Marie Moning for having created such riveting and complex characters – we’re lost in a blur, where Good and Evil are vain boundaries which don’t make any sense, and hell yeah I loved that.

– Plot & world-building : What a gripping story! I feel like I can’t get enough of this world and I adore the way KMM constantly surprises me. Each time I think I know where the story’s going I end completely stunned and that’s a wonderful feeling for sure!

To be continued… In Shadowfever

BOOK REVIEW – Faefever (Fever #3) by Karen Marie Moning

Faefever (Fever #3)
by Karen Marie Moning
Purchase on: Amazon, iBooks
Add to: Goodreads

Synopsis:
He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too. When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.

Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.

As All Hallows’ Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.…

Tell me …

What enraptured me in Faefever was the fact it was waaay darker than the first twos. Excuse me when I’m doing a little dance before travelling to …

… Dublin.

Okay, so, what was I saying? Ah, yes, welcome to the dark side! Dublin’s turning into such a dreadful place, I’m telling you! With the expansion of the Dark Zone, the number of Unseelie which has been increasing since the beginning of Darkfever, ~~the multiplication of assholes~~ … It started to really get my goat, and that’s freaking great.

“Fae are monsters. But we humans hold our own. Fae might have incited this […], but we were the ones keeping it alive.”

Indeed while I really liked the first books they remained only entertaining, that is to say, enjoyable but not loveable : I was interested, hooked even, but I wasn’t completely emotionally invested. As I already said ~~several times~~, a book filled with flaws can be part of my favorite, as long as it makes me feel. As fucking great a book can be, if I have a hard time connecting with the characters and even more, feeling all the trouble they’re being put through, I’m not fully won.

On this matter, Faefever did a lot better than the first twos.

First of all, I loved Mac. Because I loved Buffy, and some sides of Mac remind me of her – Remember Buffy’s personality in the first seasons? She didn’t want to fight for others. She wanted to go to prom, for Pete’s sake! Indeed I always struggle to believe that people can be willing to save the world as soon as they’re asked for it. I mean, of course that’s an awful responsibility to take! Do you really think you would agree right away? If so, congratulations, you’re such a better person than I am!

So, Mac said it clearly : she doesn’t want to be the world’s savior. She wants revenge. And yet, little by little, she takes the job, because something has to do it you know? Now this evolution is believable.

“Lambs to the slaughter. My people.”

Moreover, do you know what I admire about her? She doesn’t trust anyone. She makes deals. She lies. She betrays. Why do I love such bad behavior? Because she fucking needs it! I mean, after all these books where heroines give their trust faster than I spell the word, I can’t help but strongly appreciate the fact she’s not dumb enough to forget herself in the name of ~~lust~~ love. She fights, and her evolution since Darkfever is truly amazing. Plus, the MacHalo thing? Loved that.

Yeah, Barrons hadn’t growing on me a bit and I’m pretty sure I won’t change my mind, because I don’t think he could do something to redeem himself in my mind. This being said, I can’t deny the fact his characterization is amazing : He is a fascinating character – a fascinating bastard, but still captivating and multi-layered to the core. Overall, I loved when he was punched, I don’t want to see him happy, I don’t like him, I’m pretty sure I hate him, but he kept me interested. Go figure.

Furthermore, I must confess that trying to read between the lines to discover who lies beneath the jerk face delighted me more than a police investigation. Don’t get me wrong, no matter what I’ll find it never will be an excuse for his behavior but I’m beginning to consider writing a journal about all my assumptions – even if one of them takes over the others for now.

I won’t talk about the plot, first because I’d spoil you, and secondly because I’d repeat myself, ~~finally because I want to start Dreamfever now~~ : fascinating…. something-something…. well-wrapped… something-something… intriguing…. something-something… I want more!

See you for Dreamfever.

BOOK REVIEW – Six of Hearts by L.H. Cosway

January 11, 2015 / Anna

Six of Hearts by L.H. Cosway
Purchase on: Amazon, iBooks
Add to: Goodreads

Synopsis:
Step right up and meet Jay Fields: Illusionist. Mentalist. Trickster.

I think in triangles. You think in straight lines.

I show you a table and make you believe it’s a chair.

Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive.

But most of all, I put on a good show.

The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn’t. Bear with me. It’s all a part of the plan.

Revenge is what I want. I want it for me and I want it for her.
I want it for all six of us.

She doesn’t remember me, but she’s the reason for everything. She’ll be my prize at the end of all this – if I can hold onto my willpower, that is. Maybe I’ll slip up a little, have a taste, just a small one.

So go ahead and pick a card. Come inside and see the show. Look at my hands, look so closely that you can’t see what’s happening while you’re so focused on looking. I’ll be destroying your world from right here in the spotlight.

You’ll never see me coming until it’s too late.

I’ve only got one heart, and after I’ve pulled off my grand deception I’ll hand it right to her.

So, sit back, relax, and let my girl tell you our story. You’re in for one hell of a ride.

When I start a New Adult book, I’m always really, really wary. I mean, I got bored or worse, pissed so many times that now I pop into vigilance mode right away. I thought I might not enjoy Six of Hearts. I was so wrong.

✔ Banter everywhere. Now, I’ve never hidden that I’m a sucker for badinage and repartee, and let me tell you : these two make us feel the perfect kind of dizzy feels. That is to say, filled with giggles and irrepressible laughter.

✔ Jay. You know what? My thoughts are all over the place as I’m. so. damn. confused. I tried to gather my thoughts and well, that was a pretty difficult task to do on a Sunday afternoon. Sorry, you’ll have to do with the rambling I wrote during my read.

It starts here : Jay’s sexy you know AND he’s an illusionist. No joke, the guy can do some crazy stuff. Passionate and angry. Lunatic? Oh, right, and he’s a f*cking tease. But I forgive him. Absolutely straight-forward and yet vulnerable. And must I say? Freaking adorable at times. Frustrating, childish at some point, but who’s never? His inappropriate sexual comments are infuriating but seriously smile-worthy – filled with confidence but never disdain.

” He’s one of those people that you can’t tell if you want to be with him or just you want to be him.”

Okaaay, I’m completely aware I’m being contradictory. The thing is, a lot of things Jay does could be seen as abusive but, in the end, I can’t bring myself to think of him like that. I could overanalyze his behavior and taken one by one, some of his actions are debatable. But I don’t want to. Yes he’s infuriating and yes he pushes – a lot, but does he have bad intentions? Is he disrespectful towards Matilda? I don’t think so.

By the way, he is an absolute, complete, utter tease. I kind of adored that about him.

✔ Matilda‘s awkwardness is seriously likeable – and funny. Oh, yes, funny. And the inner b*tch? You’re so damn right girl! Plus she owes me a couple face palms next to her comments. Moreover, thank you thank you, she’s not a virgin. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem with twenty-something’s virginity, but that twist has been used so many times in New Adult that I have a hard time suffering it anymore. Matilda isn’t experienced, yet she’s not a virgin at 23 and her story is so much believable as it is. Overall, she can be seen as weak sometimes but that makes her more credible in my opinion, and who are we kidding? She deals with Jay for Pete’s sake, the girl does what she can.

✔ An healthy and genuine relationship between Matilda and her best friend. Yay! I must admit that I was a bit wary at first, but as it turned out, Michelle is pictured like an actual friend and not in that bitchy way we often found in New-Adult. Plus, they aren’t any slut-shaming or girl-hate. Even if Matilda is fully aware of the way Jay captures women’s attention, and sometimes she gets jealous (who wouldn’t be?) but she never allows herself to be mean about that, and I found it very refreshing.

✔ Revenge, guys! Jay’s plan is mischievous – Comte de Monte-Cristo’s devilish, and I enjoyed every second of it. I won’t say anything more, but trust me, the guy knows how to handle his reproaches. In a masterful way, no less.

“This is fucked up. This is… amazing. I can’t believe the sneaky, clever, trickster bastard managed to pull this off.”

✔ Sexual tension. Remember when I said Jay was a tease? Yep. Also, I could feel the chemistry between Matilda and Jay from the beginning, and although it should be mandatory, that’s not always the case in NA so the only thing I can say is Bravo.

“It’s not weird. We’re bonding. Lots of animals sleep together in order to bond. Don’t you ever watch the Discovery Channel?”
“We’re not animals.”
He gives me a devilish grin. “Speak for yourself.”

✘ ~~Insta-love~~. Nope, that’s not right. Insta-lust. But then, the later doesn’t bother me as much as the first, because while I don’t believe in insta-love (sorry sorry romance) I can totally contemplate insta-lust. But still, as that happens to be one of my peeves, I have to count it as a cons.

✘ The mystery. While it makes Jay even more interesting to follow, I still guessed a major proportion of it almost instantly. Then, maybe we’re supposed too.

✘ I’m worse than a little kid with illusionists and magic so as you can guess, I’d have loved to read more about Jay’s capacities. Although I understand the author’s intends in the end – and I can agree with her statement to a certain extend – I can’t help but feel a bit cheated. Yeah, what a pouter kid I am.

✘ As I said earlier, even if I forgive him, some Jay’s actions can be considered as creepy. He does have good intentions, still his behavior is sometimes not far from where I draw the line between in love and stalkerish.

Overall, the pros overtake the cons by far, especially since what I despised can be justified by the plot’s needs. Then, as always when I enjoy a New-Adult book, I end a bit stunned, slightly dizzy, and definitely happy about it.
