Hunted - House of Night - by PC Cast and Kristin Cast

Title : Hunted

Authors : PC Cast, Kristin Cast

Series : House of Night

Prior Books : Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed

Summary : Zoey Redbird, a vampire fledgling, and crew have escaped the House of Night; fleeing from a now evil High Priestess Neferet and her evil consort, Kalona. The problem is that Neferet gaurds the wicked fallen angel with vigilence and no one seems to realize that he and his demon Ravenmocker children are evil. Zoey's involvement with Kalona in a past life may be the key to banishing him or the unraveling of the resistance. On the romance front her reforged relationship with Eric Night (her new vampire mate) may come into contest with reapearances of Heath (her human consort) and James Stark (her undead protector). 

Thoughts : It was suspenseful and well thought out. I'm eager for the next installment! I still find Zoey's friends more lovable than Zoey herself. I am particularly fond of Aphrodite (a former rival), Darius (Aphrodite's Son of Erebus boyfriend), Jack and Damien. Unfortunately the Twins are somewhat annoying as is Zoey herself. Zoey is a character who tends to be all over the place. She is incredibly indecisive when it comes to dating and who she's with rotates constantly. I'm all for Eric though. It was well paced and probably my favorite of all of the House of Night novels.

Cover : The cover is gorgeous. I love the red highlights and how some aspects (the symbols) are shiny.  The only thing I don't like is that this one is a hardcover and the previous books were only released in paperback. 

Rating : 4 Stars

PS: Also  Insert Book Title Here is giving away a copy!

Canadians residents can get this series at Costco for extremely cheap.

Frozen Fire by Tim Bolwer

Title: Frozen Fire

Author: Tim Bowler

Summary: Dusty gets a phone call from a mysterious boy who says he wants to die. He tells her to call him Josh. Josh was Dusty's brother who's dissapearance haunts her. The boy knows things that other people are thinking or feeling. Dusty hopes that he can lead her to Josh but the lynch mob in town hopes to kill him. In persuing him they will turn on her. However the boy is her only chance at getting back her family.

Thoughts: For some reason this book threw me off a bit at first. While Dusty is not a lovable heroine and hard to identify with, I think that I would have preferred it be in first person. While the book is mysterious and intrigueing, it gets off to a slow start. Sometimes the reader will have a hard time navigating through all the prose. Also for someone portrayed as so tough Dusty seems really overemotional. Her whole life hinges on her brother Josh, who as we find out isn't such a great brother at all. Though I had problems getting into it at first, I really loved the mysterious quality of the boy and the sudden plot twists. The ending is fantastic.

Rating: 4 stars

The Bishop's Daughter - Tiffany L. Warren

Title : The Bishop's Daughter

Author :  Tiffany L. Warren

Summary :  The Bishop's Daughter follows Emoni, the eldest daughter of Bishop Prentiss; as well as Derrin Bainbridge, her love interest. Emoni is the ever reliable, girl-next-store who sometimes tries too hard not to be a "wild PK" (preacher's kid). Darrin is a handsome and together writer but living off his parent's money. He wants the story of a lifetime but is unwilling to betray the Prentiss Family, that had brought him into their lives. The two navigate their feelings for each other while trying to balance their futures. 

Thoughts : The story is beautiful and not-at-all preachy. It is enthralling, I took this for some "bathtub reading" and read the whole thing in one sitting. The character's are relatable, and the book leaves you with a peaceful satisfied feeling. The blog entries are cute too.

PS.  The Trustee is incredibly creepy.
