Review: Blood Fever

Title: Blood Fever
Series: The Watchers # 3
Genre: Young Adult-Paranormal
Author: Veronica Wolff
Publisher: NAL Trade
Release Date: August 7, 2012
Book: FC sent by publisher


"THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME—EVEN IF HOME IS WHERE THE DEAD LIVE...
It’s the start of the fall semester, and a new crop of Acari and Trainees have descended on the Isle of Night. Watcher training has intensified, and Drew has a new roommate named Mei-Ling. But Mei-Ling harbors a dangerous secret that drove the vampires to abduct her against her will. Drew knows she shouldn’t get involved, but she can’t seem to leave her roommate to fend for herself.
Luckily, Drew has other things on her mind—like vampire Carden. A blood bond to a brawny, eighteenth-century Scottish bad boy tends to preoccupy a girl. And though she’s still figuring out what this bond means, one thing has become clear: She craves him in a major way.
But then bodies start turning up on the island. All the evidence points to the existence of a rogue vampire, and the sinister vampire Alcántara is gunning for Carden, even though Drew has proof that Carden had nothing to do with the murders. Now she has to find the true killer—without endangering Carden, Mei-Ling, or herself…"

Review: Vampire's Kiss

Title: Vampire's Kiss
Series: The Watchers # 2
Genre: Young Adult- Paranormal
Author: Veronica Wolff
Publisher: NAL
Release Date: March 6, 2012
Book: FC sent by publisher


"As someone who has survived her first year as an Acari recruit, Drew's ultimate goal is to become a Watcher and be paired up with a Vampire agent. Except nothing is as it seems. The vampire Alcántara is as sinister as he is sexy, Ronan is more distant than ever, and it turns out there are other vampires out there. Bad ones. They've captured one of the Watcher vamps and are torturing him for information-and Drew is going undercover to rescue him.
But when their vampire prisoner turns out to be a gorgeous bad boy, Drew's first mission quickly turns into more than she bargained for..."

This is the second book of The Watchers series. It picked up right where it left on and now Anneliese is taking on a new mission...

I really liked this book cause it gave me a better insight as to what Drew's purpose really is. First they picked her out, challenge her and give her a mission. Motives for the vampires seem to be on the rise but the reader never really get any clears answers. Still, it leave room for the reader to be hooked in enough wanting the second book already.

 The plot line once again take some twist and turns also adding a new character. And let me tell you, I LIKE this new character. Of course this character raises a whole new slew of questions I am dying to know! I'm anxious to see who this new relationship is going to work.

Vampire's Kiss kept me on my toes. With loads of new spins on the story, it's no wonder I could not put down this book! Vampire's Kiss is daringly intense leading the readers on a whole new ride.

I give it 4 BITES!

Happy Reading!

Review: Isle of Night

Title: Isle of Night
Series: The Watchers # 1
Genre: Young Adult- Fantasy/Paranormal
Author: Veronica Wolff
Publisher: NAL Trade
Release Date: September 6, 2011
Book: Bought


"Is life offering fewer and fewer options? Then join the dead.
When Annelise meets dark and seductive Ronan, he promises her a new life-if she has the courage to chance the unknown. Now, she's whisked away to a mysterious island and pitted against other female recruits to become a Watcher-girls who are partnered with vampires and assist them in their missions. To survive and become a Watcher, Annelise has to beat out every other girl, but she's determined to do so, because to fail doesn't mean dishonor-it means death."

For my birthday, I bought this book and I am glad that I finally got around to reading it. This book is much different than what I expected.

What I like most about this book is the great plot line. I like that it took some unexpected turns that I never saw coming. I curious as to what purpose staying on the island serves.

The characters of the book were not normal characters. They all come from harsh back rounds, with tough skin. Annelise back round is rough. While I am glad that she got away from that, it good to see that some good came from it. She strong, feisty and doesn't put up with anybody.

Overall this is quite a unique book. It really puts a whole new spin on vampires. I really liked how the vampires in this book aren't modern but old school. They truly act they way vampires should act.

Isle of Night is start of a series that has intrigued me. With a moving plot line, the reader is set on a path the vampires told us not to stray from. Isle of Night is a great read!

I give it 4 BITES!

Happy Reading!
