Summary/ General Thoughts 

Satisfying? Not quite. Going after the next one in the series? No doubt.

In the second book of the Captive series Braith, after a lengthy swim in the darkest abyss of his character, finally couldn't resist going after Aria. Although all of us here knew that was only a matter of time.

After he sees her again and they make amends, clearing up the misunderstanding that taunted the relationship, we're back to the couple-against-the-world storyline.

Summary/ General Thoughts

Since they've won the war, vampires have ruled mercilesly, diminishing humans to living blood bags. Some humans chose to become loyal to them, becoming their servants in exchange for a place within the city walls. The rest were banished to the woods, to live like primals, never giving up their loyalties to their own race, the human race, and forever plotting their enemy's demise.

Having grown up in the woods with her father, the leader of the rebels, and her two brothers, Arianna has been taught to hate the vampires and everything the stand for.

Hi there!

I know it's been a while since I last uploaded a review. It's not that I have given up on trying to keep a blog. It's just that after one too many paranormal romance novels I feel that I have exhausted the subject... Especially after a few recent disappointements in awfully-packed-with-clichés paranormal books -see Falling Under &c- I have decided to re-evaluate my stance toward books and obsession with certain genres (parnormal romance & paranormal romance...).

General Thoughts

What a gorgeous cover indeed...

Towering, a modern retelling of Rapunzel, is a book written by Alex Flinn, an author with whom I had an obsession with through the ages of twelve to thirteen.

I finished this book just yesterday and, honestly, the details are already slipping through my mind and moving out of reach.

Existence, Predestined & Ceaseless

Existence (Book 1)

Sufficiently developed characters. Easy-to-relate-to narrator (Pagan). Delicious relationships between protagonists. Thought-through plot. Interesting back-story.

Existence was exactly my cup of tea. Although calling a book about Death "a cup of tea" is an interesting way to put it...

Before you run away from that gruesome comment read a summary of the book here.

And let me tell you: it is quiet difficult not to swoon over Death.

Main Characters

Dank

Where to begin? Dank is sweet, kind, loving, possessive, aggressive, selfless and selfish. He is also lethal. Literally. He is Death. A Deity around since the beginning of time, with sole companion the souls he collects, without the ability to feel petty human emotions. Until he meets...

Pagan

Pagan never once felt like a Mary-Sue... Okay, maybe once. Anyway, she is stubborn, understanding, compassionate, honest, mature and polite. She almost deserves him. After he meets her, she becomes Dank's whole existence.
