Publication Date: 28 October 2015

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin

Summary:

Despite her superhuman strength and enhanced senses, Della Tsang's life as a vampire certainly hasn't been easy. Especially since she was reborn and bound to the mysterious, infuriating, and gorgeous Chase Tallman. 

But if there's one thing that's always kept Della going, it's her dream of being an elite paranormal investigator. Her newest case is the opportunity she's been waiting for, but as Della tries to solve the twenty year old murder and clear her father's name. She uncovers secrets about the vampire council. And about Chase. 

Feeling betrayed by all the secrets he's kept hidden from her, Della is determined to keep him as far away from her heart as she can. But she'll need his help to solve the case that will lead them into the darkest and ugliest vampire gangs in town and into the scariest reaches of her heart.

My Thoughts:

Have you been waiting for a book to be released? Of course you have, but imagine this: you pre-ordered it, you got it on the day of release, but you could only start reading after a month. Why? Well, it might have been because you had exams and work and every time you took the book in your hands, you just couldn’t open it. Yes, that what happened to me. My parents and friends even thought something was wrong with my brain. I couldn’t really blame them, but enough about my issues, let me talk about the book!

I loved it, but I wanted a bit more, that’s why it’s not full 5 leaves. But let me explain: as always I was crawling with laughter due to Della’s fantastic language., her description of men’s genitalia’s keep getting better and better and I mean it . My book is full of highlights! But that’s not all the book is about. As always it’s fast paced and full of action, but somehow I would have loved a bit more action towards the end. Especially the whole Stine issue resolving. Who the hell is that? Well, read the series and you’ll get the whole scope on the satiation, because even if I start explaining my explanation will get lost and I might no, I will spoil the “fun”.

Are you ready to unravel who is behind the murders? Are you ready to see whom Della chose? Are you ready to be there when Della’s family falls apart? I hope you are as the answers to these questions and many more are waiting for you in the book! So should I start what made me deduct that 0/5 leaves? It’s quite easy I wanted a bit more. Truth be told throughout the book I had this weird feeling that there should be more, another book, that it was not enough to finish Della’s story! I wanted more Della and Chase, more of her badass moments, it was a bit of a bummer that she appeared kind of weak in this book, but then again it is said that it takes great strength to show your weakness. And trust me Della in my mind is a strong character. I wanted more from the last battle. It was a bit too rushed. I wanted to see more of Della’s badass behavior! Am I asking for too much? But in the whole picture this book is a great book to complete the trilogy ad I’m on full alert to know if C.C. Hunter is going to be continuing with writing about Shadow Falls. The Kylie surprise in the book was an awesome one. I was anticipating it, but never thought I would be able to read about it. What is it? Not talking! Grab your copy now and find the answers for yourself! One thing that I do have the similar opinion with Chase is that I really did want to rip Della’s dad to shreds. And trust me so will you! The dude blew my mind full time!

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 favorite book or manga! Happy reading!

Mini Book Review : Spellbinder by C.C. Hunter (Shadow Falls: After Dark #2.5)

Summary (from Goodreads)

Title: Spellbinder

Author: C. C. Hunter

Publication Date: 30 June 2015

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin

Goodreads – Amazon 

Summary:

When magic, romance, and family secrets collide, the result is spellbinding!

Miranda Kane has always felt like a screw-up–at least when it comes to her ability to wield magic. Her only sanctuary is Shadow Falls camp, where she’s learning to harness her powers as a witch. But thanks to her shapeshifter boyfriend who called it quits and ran off to Paris, both her heart and powers feel broken.

When she unexpectedly lands a top spot in a spell casting competition in France, she flies out with her best friends Kylie and Della. But her trip takes her straight into the heart of a dangerous supernatural mystery–and a heated romance. What Miranda doesn’t expect is for her investigation to unleash shocking revelations…about herself, her family, and her arch enemy. Now Miranda must step up and show everyone that she’s a witch to be reckoned with….before it’s too late. 

My Thoughts:

Hi, guys and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Today’s the not the first day I’m making a mini book review, but it’s a first I’m putting it on its designated day. Why? Well, because throughout August I’ve been reading and reviewing, so I can put one or two mini review every second Sunday.

First of all, do not read this before reading both Reborn and Eternal, or at least Reborn! Trust me, I spoiled so much excitement because I read it. Second, why is this book not a Shadow Falls After Dark novel? I mean, if you haven’t read the new books, you wouldn’t have gotten what the hell was going on. Okay, it’s still explained why Della is the super new vampire or why Perry left, but still it’s damn confusing in the beginning!

But let’s get back to the book. Have you been wanting for Miranda to tell her story? Or at least a portion of it? But we finally get answers to many questions, and you’ll be shocked at many of the secrets that her family is hiding. Are you ready to dive in the Wicca competition? You should be, all the hell is going to get lose once the competition starts and you don’t want to miss all the fun! Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts! Stay tuned for more and happy reading!

Publication Date: April 10, 2012

Summary:

Step into Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with supernatural powers.  Here friendship thrives, love takes you by surprise, and our hearts possess the greatest magic of all.


Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she’s meant to be with—and the truth about what her emerging powers mean.  But she’s about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever…and not always for the better.


Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together.  Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it’s not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering the frightful warning, someone lives and someone dies. As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the truth about her supernatural identity, which is far different—and more astonishing—than she ever imagined. 

My Thoughts:

Hi everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! I’m moving on with Shadow Fall Series and today I have the 3^rd book for you. If you have never heard of this series then my advice: check it out right now, you can find my reviews for book 1 and book 2 just by clicking on them. If you are a fan or not so much, I appreciate if you keep reading and afterwards if you share your thoughts with me. Always love finding a person who loves the same series!

Now, let’s get back to the story. We have left Kylie wondering what kind of supernatural she is, as well as with a big boy problem at hand. Oh, add to the chaos that she is being hunted down by a weird supernatural, and you get her life at the beginning of the book. Does any of this improve? Let’s just say not really. She does find out what she is, but still doesn’t understand what it means, not spilling a secret here! She does choose the guy, and thank you for picking my choice – Lucas, though the guy acts most of the time like a total jerk, with his whole pack business and wanting Kylie to become the werewolf too much. Even though I like him, he still pissed me off in this book, though it was not as much when I first read it, as now I at least know what the problem he was dealing with. Getting to the juicy part! The villain is still on the run, wanting now Kylie dead more than ever, plus now FRU also wants Kylie to run some tests on her! What’s she going to do? That’s in the next book and for you to know. Though we get to see some good guys die as well as some bad guys coming to the “good” side.

We meet some family members, and Kylie’s ghosts are as confusing as ever, but she’s finally getting a grip with her powers. Or better be said, she still in process and whatever her brain pattern shows right now doesn’t really help to solve the mystery. We get to see at least one relationship progress normally that’s Miranda and Perry. Those two finally get together. But before that happens, there are tons of awkward but also very fun moments. Especially someone turning into a kangaroo. I doubt you’ll be able to hold laughter when you know who was turned.

Finally there’s some development between Burnett and Holiday, I’m so rooting for those two! I hope you will grab your copy now, if you haven’t read it yet. You’ll love Shadow Falls camp, soon to be a boarding school. 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 : Awake at Dawn by C.C. Hunter (Shadow Falls #2)

Summary (from Goodreads)

Title: Awake at Dawn 

Author: C.C. Hunter 

Publication Date: October 11, 2011

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin 

Goodreads – Amazon – Barnes & Noble

Summary:

Step into the world of Shadow Falls, a camp that helps teens tap into their special... talents. Once you visit, you’ll never forget it—and you’ll never, ever be the same.

From the moment Kylie Galen arrived at Shadow Falls Camp, she’s had one burning question: What am I? Surrounded by vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters, fairies and witches, Kylie longs to figure out her own supernatural identity…and what her burgeoning powers mean. And now she’ll need them more than ever, because she’s being haunted by a new spirit who insists that someone Kylie knows—and loves—will die before the end of the summer. If only she only knew who she was supposed to save. And how...

But giving Kylie the most trouble is her aching heart. Gorgeous werewolf Lucas left camp with another girl, but he’s still visiting Kylie in her dreams. And Derek, a sexy half Fae who’s always been there for her when she needed him, is pushing to get more serious—and growing impatient, especially when Lucas returns. Kylie knows she needs to decide between the boys, and it’s tearing her up inside.

Yet romance will have to wait, because something from the dark side of the supernatural world is hiding in Shadow Falls. It’s about to threaten everything she holds dear... and bring her closer to her destiny. 

My Thoughts:

Hi everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! As promised I’m continuing with covering C.C. Hunters’ Shadow Falls series on the blog. There’s going to be a small intermission, as I will cover book in another series. Now let me return to the book itself, I enjoy reading C.C. Hunter’s books, no matter how exhausted or moody I am, as soon as I start reading her books, my exhaustion flies out of the window, and my mood gets better as soon as I read the bickering of Miranda and Della. First of all their fights seems so natural, that sometimes when I’m too lost in the book I even hear with what voices they would be shouting at each other.

However, no matter how much I love both Della and Miranda and I’m series there, I really love those two, seriously wished I had friends like that, I still love Kylie’s character the most. Maybe because I find a lot of characteristics that I wished I had. Though I had her as my role model as soon as I first rad the book. Why? That’s pretty easy. I love her sarcastic side, though it’s better in Della, what I love in her is her level headiness. I’ve been trying to nurture this in me for 5 years, but I’m still one hot-tempered person. I love tis side of myself, but sometimes my temper gets the best of me. I’m like Della; I get pissed and sty for a long time.

Okay enough with my character, back to the story. This time Kylie gets to unfurl many of her hidden talents, we are even given lots of hints on what she might be, but we are still kept in the dark. We also get to see the trouble in paradise both in Kylie’s and Miranda’s relationship. But the trouble is still there as we finish the book and I guess if you haven’t read the series yet it’s that time! Time to align with the teams. I say this right now. I’m team Lucas, I know he’s not as good with the whole secret thing, but I like him, I like him a lot. I don’t care of everyone thinks of him as a jerk right now, but I just love him.

Another great thing? Yep, the villain made appearance and I’m thrilled because it’s going to be great from now on. Are you up for the 2^nd book? Grab your copy now and enjoy it to the fullest. Don’t forget to share your thoughts below! But don’t spoil the next book. I’m trying hard not do that. And you know me ad spoiler love each other immensely. Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!
