“Are tou trying to be annoying?” I demanded. My patience was not waning, but entirely gone. “Because if you are, then be assured, you have succeeded.”
Jared and Wes looked at me with shocked eyes.
“I am female,” I complained. “That ‘it’ business is really getting on my nerves.”
Jared blinked in surprise, then his face settled back into harder lines. “Because of the body you wear?”
Wes glared at him.
“Because of me,” I hissed.
“By whose definition?”
“How about by yours? In my species, I am the one that bears young. Is that not female enough for you?”
That stopped him short. I felt almost smug.
‘As you should’, Melanie approved. ‘He’s wrong and he’s being a pig about it’.
Thank you.
‘We girls have to stick together’.”

Favorite quote

“Abe held my gaze a bit longer and then broke into an easy smile. ʺOf course, of course. This is a family gathering. A celebration. And look: hereʹs our newest member.ʺ

Dimitri had joined us and wore black and white like my mother and me. He stood beside me, conspicuously not touching. ʺMr. Mazur,ʺ he said formally, nodding a greeting to both of them. ʺGuardian Hathaway.ʺ

Dimitri was seven years older than me, but right then, facing my parents, he looked like he was sixteen and about to pick me up for a date.

ʺAh, Belikov,ʺ said Abe, shaking Dimitriʹs hand. ʺIʹd been hoping weʹd run into each other. Iʹd really like to get to know you better. Maybe we can set aside some time to talk, learn more about life, love, et cetera. Do you like to hunt? You seem like a hunting man. Thatʹs what we should do sometime. I know a great spot in the woods. Far, far away. We could make a day of it. Iʹve certainly got a lot of questions Iʹd like to ask you. A lot of things Iʹd like to tell you too.ʺ

I shot a panicked look at my mother, silently begging her to stop this. Abe had spent a good deal of time talking to Adrian when we dated, explaining in vivid and gruesome detail exactly how Abe expected his daughter to be treated. I did not want Abe taking Dimitri off alone into the wilderness, especially if firearms were involved.

ʺActually,ʺ said my mom casually. ʺIʹd like to come along. I also have a number of questions—especially about when you two were back at St. Vladimirʹs.ʺ

ʺDonʹt you guys have somewhere to be?ʺ I asked hastily. ʺWeʹre about to start.ʺ

That, at least, was true. Nearly everyone was in formation, and the crowd was quieting. ʺOf course,ʺ said Abe. To my astonishment, he brushed a kiss over my forehead before stepping away. ʺIʹm glad youʹre back.ʺ Then, with a wink, he said to Dimitri:

ʺLooking forward to our chat.ʺ

ʺRun,ʺ I said when they were gone. ʺIf you slip out now, maybe they wonʹt notice. Go back to Siberia.”

“Actually,” said Dimitri, “I’m pretty sure Abe would notice. Don’t worry, Roza. I’m not afraid. I’ll take whatever heat they give me over being with you. It’s worth it.”

Book Review: Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets j.k rowling

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title Harry potter and the chamber of secrets
author J.k rowling
publisher scholastic
releases date September 1st 2000
pages 341

summary -The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he’s packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart; a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom; and the unwanted attention of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone—or something—starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects . . . Harry Potter himself

Review –
Harry potter is excited for school to start but it goes off not so well he has to deal with a house elf telling him not to go back to hogwarts and stole his letters from Hermione and ron and now his uncle has locked him in but ron saves him and he’s back with the Wesley’s and they have some trouble getting back to school but then some strange stuff starts to happen people are getting petrified and the chamber of secrets has been open again harry finds a diary of someone from 50 years ago and the diary takes him 50 years back and the diary belongs to Tom riddle hagrid is taken to azkaban and dumbledore is taken away and when Hermione is petrified also and ginny is taken in the chamber Harry has to stop it but when he finds ginny he also finds out that Tom Riddle is Voldemort .

Book Review: crescendo Becca Fitzpatrick

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title- Crescendo
Author – Becca Fitzpatick
release date- October 19th 2010
publisher – Simon & schuster
pages – 427

Summary -Nora Grey’s life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn’t pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it: a mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But, despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He’s more elusive than ever and even worse, he’s started spending time with Nora’s arch-enemy, Marcie Millar.

Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadnt been acting so distant. Even with Scott’s totally infuriating attitude Nora finds herself drawn to him – despite her lingering feeling that he’s hiding something.

Haunted by images of her murdered father, and questioning whether her nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death, Nora puts herself increasingly in dangerous situations as she desperately searches for answers. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything – and everyone – she trusts.

Review – Nora and Patch are going great until he protects marcie and other than that she told patch she loved him and he didn’t say anything and other things are happening Vee gets a boyfriend Rixon Pach’s friend Patch and Nora broke up Patch is with Marcie Nora finds some things she doesn’t want to she receives a package a ring from the black hand Rixon tells Nora that’s Patch’s nickname but is it Patch tell Nora Scott is Nephilem he’s imortal can’t die and he’s apart of something bad but when Nora is stuck in a sticky situation and finds out who killed her dad it surprise her .

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title : Awakened
Author : P.C Cast + Kristen Cast
Release date : January 4 , 2011
Publisher : St. Martin’s griffin
pages: 290
Summary :My love, speak to me. Tell me everything.” Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal.
“What would you have me say?” He didn’t meet her eyes.
“Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.
“She does.”
“Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.” She started to walk away from him.
“Where are you going? What will happen next?”
“It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed.”
Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…
And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?
In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

Review – This book was heartbreaking action packed it took place after Burned , Zoey is back and her soul is not shattered Stark is still trying to get his energy back but him and Zoey are happy and in love but when heartbreak goes down at the house of night Zoey and Stark must go back home Stevie Ray is still hiding her Rephaim from her friends Nefert is fooling everyone on the council that’s she’s so nice and good but when they have to do the funeral for jack and everyone is so sad that’s when madness takes part but it ended on a clifhander like always it was sad but I can’t wait until Destined .

Book Review : Burned P.C Cast

Burned by P.C. Cast

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Title : Burned
Author : P.C Cast + Kristen Cast
Pages : 323
Release date April 27, 2010
Summary :When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames….

Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampyre High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.


Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

Review : Book seven the house of night series was freaking crazy it was so emotional so Kalona killed Heath in the last book so now Zoey’s Spirt is shattered and she is stuck in the otherworld with heath and everyone is trying to figure out how to get her back Stark is depressed and Stevie ray she’s back at the house of night still with the raven mocker (I just don’t get her sometimes) Kramisha gives Stevie ray a pome that mostly tells them how figure out how to get Zoey back stark has to get to the other world he has to be badly wounded Dallas finds out about Stevie ray and the raven mocker while there having Sex and that wasn’t to good and then Dallas goes all nuts . when Stark gets there all hell goes loose Heath moves on Kalona and Stark fight and zoey is back to new and hopefully her and stark can be together now well we’ll find out in AWAKENED.
