[Review] Katie Chandler series by Shanna Swendson



Katie Chandler series by Shanna Swendson is definitely one of my favorite book/series. If you are ‘saturated’ with vampire and werewolf stories, or even faeries, you might consider picking this series right now~! Shanna makes normal the new black!

To start with, the cover of each book is quite entertaining and light. I like the frog which present in every cover because it reminds one of ‘Prince Charming’ in frog suit. LOL

In many books, we read that the main character are highlighted for having special powers or coming from rare ancestry, but this book our main character, Katie is special and powerful for having no power! How do you like that~!

Mix in some modern magic and some handsome and yummy guys *squel*, this series is certainly not to be missed.

I give this series a 4 out of 5~!

They are the Others--the vampires, mages, and werewolves once thought to exist only in our imaginations. Now they're stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again. . .

In A Town Like This, Being A P.I. Can Be Murder

Shiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm--if it doesn't kill her first. Shiarra has signed on to work for a high-level mage to recover an ancient artifact owned by one of New York's most powerful vampires.

As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought. With a clandestine anti-Other group trying to recruit her, and magi being eliminated, Shiarra needs back-up and enlists her ex-boyfriend--a werewolf whose non-furry form is disarmingly appealing--and a nerdy mage with surprising talents. But it may not be enough. In a city where the undead roam, magic rules, and even the Others aren't always what they seem, Shiarra has just become the secret weapon in a battle between good and evil--whether she likes it or not. . .

A rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf, Riley Jenson and her twin brother, Rhoan, work for Melbourne's Directorate of Other Races, an organisation created to police the supernatural races - and protect humans from their depredations. While Rhoan is an exalted guardian, aka assassin, Riley is merely an office worker - until her brother goes missing on one of his missions.

The timing couldn't be worse. More werewolf than vampire, Riley is vulnerable to the moon heat, the weeklong period before the full moon, when her need to mate becomes all-consuming...Luckily Riley has two willing partners to satisfy her every need. But she will have to control her urges if she's going to find her brother. For someone is doing some illegal cloning in an attempt to produce the ultimate warrior - by tapping into the genome of nonhumans like Rhoan.

Now Riley knows just how dangerous the world is for her kind - and just how much it needs her.

[review] Archangel's Consort (Guild Hunter series) by Nalini Singh

I just finished reading this book and I must say, “Man, I like this story! More please~ XD”
Okay before that, have you read the first book, Angels’ Blood? If you haven’t, go and get yourself a copy now~ XD

I bought mine from here – BookDepository and it’s free shipping worldwide~! XDXD

buy the book from The Book Depository, free delivery
Psst, I even get it on a bargain price~ XDXD



Okay, about this book. I wonder if it’s me or it’s thicker than its previous books.
I can’t help feeling Nalini Singh had written more than enough details in some parts. Hmmm…
The focus in the story is on Raphael’s mother, Caliane or I think it is.
Because there were other different matters on hand to tackle, rather different than its previous books.

There are also inner turmoil of both the hunter, Elena and our archangel, Raphael.
Trust is the main element between both of them and Nalini Singh had put up a few obstacles, making the bond between Elena and Raphael stronger. So important the trust that if it breaks, we will die along with either our archangel or guild hunter. Love the sensation Nalini Singh has weaved in the story.

Waiting for the new book to come, I give this a 3.5 out of 5~!

[Personal thoughts and prediction for the next book – WARNING, SPOILER AHEAD]

Man, I think I like Book 1 and 2 better than the third one. Firstly, I think there are too much bed scenes in Archangel’s Consort. If I need to guess, I think there are at least ten bed scenes – not including those without a bed *wink*
It’s not like I dislike the oh-so-delicious Raphael and equally ravishing guild hunter but overdose will numb the senses, don’t you think?

Secondly, there were parts I don’t even know had ‘happened’. Either it’s not important (but if so, there’s no need to even mention it, right?) or our author is running out of paper to write in detail.
For example, when did Harrison ran away from his contract and when did Elena caught him? When did Michaela started to date Astaad’s second?

Now for some predictions, I think one word. Baby~! (or babies XDXD) I wonder if she/he had wings? After all, Elene IS an angel now =O
Then, maybe Michaela start going crazy? (I’ve been bracing for her madness from Uram to catch in the third book but she’s not in it)
What about Elena’s maybe-vampire-blood-heritage? I keep thinking she is somehow related to Dmitri (Hah! That’s gonna be major awkwardness =P)
Evelyn still small so there will be nothing major about her.

One thing I hope I will never read about is love triangle (because I tend to pity the one not chosen) so whatever it is, please don’t let Illium start confessing to Elena or I’ll die T^T (I really like Illium)

[review] Morgan Kingley series by Jenna Black



Nice story~
Jenna Black made the suspense in each story so predictable and unpredictable at the same time often makes me wonder what will really happen in the end. There are many inner turmoil going around Morgan's head and it was well written to let us readers feel the feelings, similar if not exact.

The down side of the story is too much repetition of Morgan's principle of life and it does annoys a bit whenever Morgan started to do it.

It made me cry in the end and the ending falls in my book as an acceptable ending.
I give this series a 3.5 out of 5~!

[Tribute] One Piece - Deceased Portgas D. Ace




I found out today (anime) that Ace didn't make it from Marineford.
Shocked didn't even cover half of what I felt... T^T
I wanted to cried out LOUD along with Luffy, pour out anything I am capable of feeling just to satisfy the grief.

I don't know Ace that much but I know enough to understand that he is a very important person in Luffy's life (other than the word 'brother' between them) that I couldn't help but to grieve with Luffy.



So I'm writing a post here dedicated to Ace and wish he would rest in peace (you would call me crazy for doing this much for an anime character but I can't help doing it...)
