Book review: Vamps by Nancy A. Collins

One of another vampire stories that I have been hooked on recently. I realised that there are really a lot of vampire stories on the market recently. Probably due to the twilight saga? Simply to put, this vampire story is a three-way fight among the Old Bloods, New Bloods and the Vampire Hunters. I like the way the plot twists and turns the situations but some of them are just way too cheesy for my liking. Lilith is a bitch who cares more about her heritage than any other things, including her mother. As one of the distinguished family members of the Old Bloods, she is able to get her way most of the times and she intends to keep it that way. But all changes when her half-sister comes into the picture and turning everything upside down. Of course, she didn't know that Cally is her half-sister until they got into a fight and she tasted her blood. Before that, when Cally was transferred from the New Blood School to the Old Blood's, she tried to make Cally as uncomfortable she

Book Review: The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan

*I have read the second book before the first book, so I have extra background to the plot. The Demon's Lexicon is the first book of the series and from the start, the two brothers, Alan and Nick, are escaping from the magicians who wanted to hunt down their mother, which led them to moving house every few months. This time round, there is a difference; the attack is witnessed by two other people, Mae and Jamie. They were hoping that the two brothers would be able to help them with their trouble, and they all landed in deep shit. And they went trying to crawl out from the pile of shit that they dug into. The best parts of the plot is that they subtly dropped hints throughout the story and wove them altogether at the end. We know that Nick can't tell lies and he doesn't feel much for people, but he does feel for his brother, at least. I love the way how the ending contradicts the beginning, as it shows that demons can have feelings too; albeit a strange way of showing

Book Review: Forbidden (The Demon's Trapper #2) by Jana Oliver

The second book in the series. My brother and I have been hunting down this book since Oct, and I finally found it online. OMG. I was captivated by the first book, and now the second. And I can't wait for the third one to be released. Forbidden is a Urban Fantasy (UF) book, and having demons in the city is commonplace. Schools are held anywhere and everywhere, but with regularity. It actually sounds like the future world that we would probably be facing, especially with the budget cuts in the cities. Riley is the only female trapper in the Trapper society, and she has a huge score to settle with the necromancers as she thought that they have forcibly taken her dad to be a deader. It ends up that someone else was behind the scenes, which rounded up the plot considerably. In this book, Riley's relationships with guys took a turn for the worse. All the three guys, in fact. It is a little unsettling that she managed to get rid of the thoughts of Simon so quickly and jumped into

think hard

When it comes to little little things, I like the way he is so concerned. But, when it boils down to everything, I think I always end up keeping my mouth shut. Is there a way to get rid of all these excessive emotions?
