Book Review: Dauntless by Stacy Claflin (Transformed #10)




Summary (from Goodreads)

Title: Dauntless

Author: Stacy Claflin

Publication Date: 15 October 2015

Publisher: self-published

GoodreadsAmazon – Barnes & Noble






Summary:




Eylin always seems to get herself into trouble, but this time she's in deep. Missing. Kidnapped. Tortured. 

Her friends and family have no idea where she is, and the only clue is the intolerable pain Ana is in. What Eylin feels, Ana does, too. And this time... it's worse than ever. 

And to make it even more frustrating, those casting locator spells say they can't find her. 

Will Eylin's friends and family be able to find her in time?

My Thoughts:


It’s been a long time since I have put Stacy Claflin’s book on my blog. So here I am, reviewing the 10th book in the Transformed series. Yup, we are on the 10th one and trust me it’s not ending for the time being, or I just hope it won’t end. I kind want it to never end, but at the same time I do want to say goodbye to these fantastic characters. I know I’m making absolutely no sense.

Do you remember where we got off? No? Here’s a small reminder: Blake came back from the dead, ruined Eylin’s and Darius’ wedding, but no worries, those two eloped and finally had one, but well, Eylin was dumb enough to resurrect her grandmother, so now everything is a total mess as Blake kidnapped her and wants her to marry him. Yup, our psycho has come from the dead with more psycho in him! And trust me you would never want to resurrect anyone after you read this book. So, what new is waiting for you in this book? Heh, you’ll be amazed to know whom Stacy will introduce us to this time. You need a hint? Okay, sea… Yup, that’s the only hint I’m giving. Think yourself or better grab your copy right now to know what the hell is happening!

There were several things that frustrated me and that was the reason I took of one leaf. First of all I really hated the direction those freaking witches took with Alre and Alexis. It was so out of place and annoying that I closed the book for several days. Only my nagging curiosity and love for Stacy’s writing compelled me to read on and I do not regret it! Another thing that frustrated me was the cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers but I just love how Stacy makes them. And trust me this cliffhanger will just leave you screaming: “what the hell did just happen???” I think my neighbours finally think that there’s a crazy inhabitant living on the first floor. Are you ready to unravel new secrets that Stacy’s world is going to bring? You sure should be. If you are new to the series go over my blog to find out all about it. Get acknowledged with interesting characters and the fantastic world!

Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!

Book Review: Scala by Christina Bauer (Angelbound Origins #2)




Summary (from Goodreads)

Title: Scala

Author: Christina Bauer

Publication Date: 13 May 2014

Publisher: Ink Monster LLC







Summary:



Nineteen-year-old Myla Lewis has transformed into Great Scala, the only being with the power to move souls out of Purgatory and into Heaven or Hell. Trouble is, a magical object called Lucifer’s Orb is limiting Myla’s abilities. If she tries to move a soul, the Orb’s forcing her to send that spirit straight to Hell.

So, what’s a girl to do? Send innocents to the fiery down-under?

No way. Myla’s gone on a supernatural strike. No souls go anywhere until the Orb’s history. It’s the right thing to do, but Purgatory’s Soul Storage buildings are turning into time bombs. No spirits are moving out, while millions keep coming in. Myla’s determined to find the Orb and send the innocent to Heaven, but she’s running out of time. Soon, the containment fields will burst, releasing a mob of homicidal ghosts.

With Soul Storage ready to explode, Myla’s got enough on her plate without her old enemy, Lady Adair, causing problems. Adair is launching an ingenious campaign to take away everything that Myla holds dear, including Myla’s Angelbound love, Prince Lincoln.

Between their clever ideas and toe-curling kisses, Myla and Lincoln are fighting back. But will they beat the clock or lose everything to Adair’s devious schemes?

***A 52K-Word Novella***


My Thoughts:


As promised some time ago I’m posting the reviews for all Christina Bauer’s books in Angelbound series. It got a bit out of hand with the reviews, but here I am posting them all in order now. Some mainly Portia (the lasted book) is already live and you can read the review on the blog. Are you ready for book 2? If you haven’t read book one – Angelbound, please visit my blog for review as well as buy links. If you are new to the series: Welcome! You’re about to open a fantastic world in front of you! And if you are a fan, well: Hello, comrade! Nice meeting you! But let me get back to the book the first book ended with Myla – that’s our awesome main character becoming the great scala and banishing Armageddon to Hell for the eternity.

Meet Myla Lewis – a mix of angel, demon and human. In the first book we witnessed her awesomeness as an arena fighter, now its time to get to know her as the Great Scala. Even though quite a lot of time passed between me finished the first book and starting this one, as soon as I started reading the book I knew why I loved both the story as well as he characters especially Myla. The way Myla refuses to send the innocents to Hell and has to battle with a former love rival is awesome. We do see the hot-tempered Myla, but sloe to the ending Myla is starting to act as the rational Scala should act. He disgust with politics and balls is still there, but now she is using her authority some of the times.

One thing that astonished me was the whole marriage talk. It was a bit out of blue for me, though I did know that those two would marry, it was still a shock to read about it early in the book. The book is fast paced and has a lot of action. You’ll see a lot of Cissy, Walker and of course some lovey-dovey moments of Lincoln and Myla. Those two are just fantastic. And the team that they make is a bit too indestructible. Are you ready to once again dive into the “ordinary” life in purgatory? I sure hope you are! You don’t want to miss some new as well as old villains reappear. And I do hope you don’t want to miss the chance to get to Myla a bit close. She’s superb character that I love a lot!

Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as proms. Don’t miss our next favouite book or nag! Happy reading!
