Book Review: Entwined by Heather Dixon

Entwined by Heather Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a beautiful retelling of the story The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a story I heard of, but never read before. In the beginning of the book, the Mother dies while giving birth to the 12th princess, Lily, and the girls has been into morning, but then they found a magical portal, where it lead to a ballroom...with a very handsome Keeper.

The girls go to that place every single night, keeping it away from their father the King, who locks them away in a room so they can morn. The girls hate it so much that they honestly loved going to their speical place to dance. But then one day, they realized that a watch was missing. So the oldest one, Azelea, goes back to ask the Keeper if he seen it...and he does...in fact, he kept it. Azelea got mad and swore that she and her sisters will never return. But there was something...how can I put it...odd...he said something about the girls not coming back he'll do something that rubbed me the wrong way.

Outside the magical portal, gentlemen left and right are trying to win some of the girls' hands, but Bramble don't care at all about marriage, Clover's in love with the Prime Minister, and Azelea fell for Mr. Brandford-slowly, though.

Close to the end (the part that ticked me off to no end), the Keeper came out of the magical portal and wanted to kill the King..and he didn't (ha ha) and trapped the girls in magical mirrors. The King and Azelea broke the mirrors and freed the girls and fought the Keeper, who used his magic to be Azelea, But that didn't work and the Keeper went away, never to be seen again.

But I liked the ending of the book, the girls got their happy ending and are building the relationship back with their father the King.

This book had some twists and turns, including the promise Azelea made on her Mother's deathbed, promising that she'll watch over the girls and the King, which was awesome. And the dances in the book were beuatiful-made me cry in the inside.

Happy New Year!

Hey y'all!

I wanted to do this post night but I got distracted by my new video game, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (in which I played for two bloody days and about to play some more afterword) but as I was saying, 2014 was the year of me being busy and reading all the time. From reading Game of Thrones to getting mad at a fallen angel who snapped a High Priestess' human consort neck, 2014 has been an amazing year.

Now that it's 2015, I want to look ahead, not forward. And since I'm currently on Barnes and Nobles (like...my bookstore for almost everything I read and want to read) I'm making a little 'to read' list in my head and I thought I'd share them all here with y'all...

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
2. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
3. the rest of the House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristin Cast
4. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
5. Claymore Series by Norihiro Yagi
6. Rise of the King by R.A. Salvatore (if you haven't read the first book of this series or any other, GO READ IT)
7. Alice in Zombieland series by Gena Showalter (I don't read about zombies that much, but...)
8. The rest of a Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
9. Prince of Thorns (Broken Empire series) by Mark Lawrence

So that is all the books on my list right now-and I might even write my own story too when I get a chance-I might even start tonight :) So happy new years y'all and I hope it's awesome and amazing like hopefully mine would be. 

Book Review: Burned, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Burned by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zoey's soul has shattered as soon as she saw Kalona kill her human consort, Heath Luck...in which I gasped and called him a jerk-off for doin' that, but as I digress, her soul has shattered and she's wondering around with Heath, who's trying to get her soul back. In the real world, tho...Neferet, being the TOTAL bitch from hell, tells Kalona to go to the Otherworld to make sure Zoey don't come back. (shall I laugh from this? Shall I? Yes, yes I shall).

So the rest of the gang that are there in Italy-Aphrodite, Darius, Stark, Shaunee, Erin, Jack and Damien, are trying to find a way to get Stark to the Otherworld to bring Zoey back-and the only way how is for Stark to die. So they go to this place where this totally awesome warrior queen and her Guardian told him that they can help him get to the Otherworld to bring Zoey back-and stop Kalona from carrying out Neferet's evil plan. (Once again, shall I laugh at this?) Even though Stark had to fight himself first to get through and find Zoey, it was worth it, even though the painful part of it was that he had to tell Heath to let go of Zoey.

In Tulsa, though...Stevie Rae, the current Red High Priestess, found Rephaim and saved him. Like..saved him, saved him. She kept him underground for a while, thinkin' that he'll be safe, but NOPE THAT DIDN'T WORK, NOW DID IT?! Reason why is because of the rouge red fledglings wanted to kill Stevie Rae, but somehow Rephaim saved her, making her break her Imprint with Aphrodite and imprinted with him. Then she hid him in an old house that was filled with spirits, and she herself summoned the wrong bull (gee, thanks Aphrodite for not tellin' her which bull was Darkness and which bull was Light) and Rephaim saved her from that by giving himself up for her, which I thought was really sweet. Then...then the thing happened with Dallas/Stevie Rae/Rephaim where Dallas went through the change and almost attacked the Raven Mocker. But thank god he didn't (though I would really wanna see that fight...)

So back in the Otherworld, once Stark told Heath to let go of Zoey and to move on, Kalona appeared and the two of them started to fight and Zoey finally put the pieces of her soul back, and she told Kalona to pay up. Kalona said no I won't do it, then Nyx appeared and forced him to do it, bringing Stark back to life. Then Stark fed from Zoey, and her tattoos and her elements came back to her, healing Stark and then they came back to the real world.

Honestly? This is an amazing book with a bunch of twists and turns and I really do recommend this a lot.

Book Hypothesis: Burned, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Hello y'all!

I know I haven't posted anything up lately because I've been worried about school and stuff, and Christmas is coming up and that I'm done with Tempted (the novel before this one), I decided to do two posts in one-so let's get started with this book hypothesis of Burned!

So at the end of Tempted ***sounds like Sheldon Cooper: "PLEASE! SPOLIER ALERT!"**** Zoey's soul has shattered. Like....it broke into TINY TINY PEICES when someone that I can't name died...thanks to a CERTAIN FALLEN ANGEL. So what do I think will happen in Burned?

Well...

1. Zoey won't die. 
2. Stevie Rae finds some way to get to her friend. 
3. Aphrodite and Darius are still going strong
4. NEFERET DIES A PAINFUL DEATH

Book Review: Tempted, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Tempted by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH. MY. GAWD.

THIS BOOK. I CAN'T.

From the banishment of Kalona and Neferet (I really, REALLY hate her), to Darius and Aphrodite sharing a beautiful moment (my OTP for life), and Zoey and the gang going to Venice to talk to the Vampyre High Council, then when Heath died (R.I.P. Heath....BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I CAN'T WITH WHAT KALONA DID!!) it was just a whirlwind of action.

I was skeptical of Rephaim and kept wondering why Stevie Rae kept him alive, but then when he saved her from almost getting burned, thanks to those rouge red fledglings....I hope as I keep reading that he turns out to be on the good side, and not look for his STUPID DADDY.

But I loved this book all the way up to the end and I can't wait to read more!!!!
