Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer BOOK REVIEW



I don´t have words to describe this book, it was everything I hoped for and then some.

I couldn´t help but get caught up in this book so much that I when I looked up from it last night it was 3 am, and my first thought was “Hell I’ll be drinking lots of coffee tomorrow at work” and then I looked down and… yeah you got it!!! I kept reading.

Calla´s journey through the new world she experience and the palpable knowledge that she´s free of the Keepers but not form herself was intoxicating; her struggle with her feelings, her loyalties to her pack and to her new allegiances, keeps you on your toes the entire book.

The new characters are lovable and mesmerizing, and they bring so much to the plot that you just don´t miss some of the characters of the previous book and at the same time they give you a sense of lounging cause you can see traits of the wolf pack in them.

The way Shay developed through the book was impressive and perfect, his love for Calla and the way their relationship evolves around ghost from the past was enthralling and makes you wish for Ren to appear and claim what he feels  his and his alone.

The truths we learn at each page turn are shocking and puts a “duh how didn´t I see that coming?” look on your face.

So this one is by far the best book on the series and seeing that the first one was actually a work of art, well… you guys should be running for a book store right now: D

So this one is one of my fav series so far and it earned a huge five star.

Touch by Jennifer Snyder


I got this book on a R2R and I liked the story but I found myself not quite trapped by it.

The book has a very easy way through it, but it left me with too many unanswered question.

The story is about Rowan a young girl whose mother committed suicide a few months back, and she´s very depressed by it.

One day she has an accident and right there is where the book falls apart. She meets Jet who is as emotional as a rock but she´s instantly attracted to him.

The whole book goes by, while she is crying over her mother, thinking about her own death and making puppy eyes at Jet, surrounded by nothing; she has absolutely no one, no friends no nothing and it gets really boring after a lot of pages to keep reading the same thought over and over again.

Then almost at the end of the book she meets her destiny, some interesting things happen and then it just ends, without any explanation or answer to the million question I had.

Questions I can´t put here without a HUGE spoiler alert so, I’m not going to!!!

That being said the book is very well written, and I think that is going to be a series, and that´s why so many things where left hanging.

Will I keep reading this series? Yes of course, the plot is interesting and the few twists and turns it has are good, I just hope the next book has some answers.

BTW don´t u guys love the Cover?, it´s absolutely beautiful isn´t it?

The Next Thing I Knew by John Corwin

“Humanity is Extinct” this is how the book starts off, they`re all dead every single person on earth, well almost.  
We met Lucy a lovely, funny, and strong-willed girl, who died at home with her parents and baby brother; she meets with many of her friends, well actually with almost everybody else at what they think is the afterlife, and well things in this book just flow from there.
The story is enigmatic, intriguing and engaging, I found myself at two or three in the morning glued to this book and not able to let it go.
John Corwin manages to take the reader into a huge ride throw SCI FI lane, we have Ghosts, Aliens, religious fanatics and so much more.
It was like reading Michael Crichton meets George Lucas meets Melissa Mathison but in the best way possible.
The only thing that I don´t like is the “Now what” feeling I have now that the book ended…
That being said John if you don`t write a sequel for this book soon enough I’ll have to turn Kung fu Panda on you, with or without the meditation lol!!!!
The Next Thing you knew I was giving your book a five star rating just cause I can, and just cause I absolutely loved it.
You guys really need to pick this up it`s a great book!!!!

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer BOOK REVIEW

This book in one Word was amazing I loved every second of it.

I immersed myself in it almost since the beginning the story is absolutely enthralling.
The story is about Calla a young female alpha from the nightshade pack that, since birth is betrothed to marry Ren the young Alpha male of the Bane pack; one day she runs into a bear mauling a hitchhiker and she end up saving his life.
Shay it actually a shy and lonely boy that has spent his life traveling to foreign places with his uncle after his parents demise, he´s cute, endearing and head over heels for Calla.

But not everything is as easy as it seems.
As the story progressed I noticed that I had a lot of unanswered questions, and I thought wow, this book is full of holes, but boy was I wrong!!!, every single doubt I had was clarified with precise fines and I loved every single second of it.

The author made a point of including every paranormal creature she could think of, but it was with such precision and at the exact time that it needed to be, that it felt almost natural to have all those supernatural beings converging together to create a story full of angst, love passion, fear and so much more.
It´s so hard for me to review this book without spoilers cause I feel the need to talk and talk about it to no end.

So i´ll say this: I love Ren, I love Shay I would keep both if I could, I hate the keepers with passion and I have certain doubts about the searchers and the mystical magic thingy Shay has keeps me wondering what the hell it is.

this is a very  good book to pick up an take a look at, and that´s why I gave it a five star…
