Torment by Lauren Kate

To be loved by someone across the centuries...To have someone so devoted to you that they can't help but seek you out after your every reincarnation into the world...To have someone so selfless they would sacrifice their own life...the love everyone seeks in life or is it?  Luce has the ultimate in love and devotion from Daniel but is it enough?  To have someone who has been in love with you for centuries starts to sound more like a curse than a blessing to Luce.  Lauren Kate has beautifully written yet another chapter in Luce's most recent incarnation of herself.

Personal rating: *****

Ascendant (Killer Unicorns #2) by Diana Peterfreund

Upon reading the description for this book, I was extremely curious. I have never come across killer unicorns as a subject matter before and was a little unsure about the book but very intrigued. I am so glad I took a chance on reading this book because I really enjoyed it. The book was very well written and held my attention throughout. Astrid was a character I could indentify with and believe most people could not only because of her internal struggles in the book but also because of the pressure placed upon her by herself and other to "live up to" her legacy. The pain she experiences when she tries to do the right thing but it all comes crashing down around her made me think to myself "bless her heart. Been there, done that". I would highly recommend giving this book a chance.


Book Rating: PG 13 due to the subject matter

Ummm ok

So I have been EXTREMELY lax in makings posts to my blog.  BUT! I have good reasons.  My dear hubby is getting ready to deploy soon so things around here have been insane.  Thats the bad news.  The good news is with him being gone more, I have lots of time to read at night and therefore posts will be coming more frequently.  I have a ton of books to add reviews for and I'm really excited about all of the books I've got lined up to read!
