Vampire Academy-A Book Review||❤

Vampire Academy
By Richelle Mead
Publication Date: August 16th 2007 (This edition August 2013)
Rating: 4.5/5
St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger. . . .

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

Wow. That is the only word I can use to describe this book. It has everything I wish for in a book. There is action, fiestiness  characters and a teeny bit of romance. I| under estimated this book so much due to the fact it was about Vampires and I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it without throwing the book onto my lap and questioning life, but oh my I whizzed through this book faster than you can say Vasilisa Dragomir! That is how good it was!!

Vampire Academy follows the life of the rebellious and frail Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir. They do already have a reputation of running way from St Vladimir Academy and Rose has been put on special watch. Lissa is a vunerable Moroi with no elemental powers and relies on Rose her dhampir guardian to protect her from their arch enemy the Stigori who hunt to kill. When coming back rumors have been spread putting a bad image on both of them. Lissa is usually the innocent one and Rose the reckless but could their roles be switched?

I absolutely loved the fieriness within the book, I also liked the little parts of teasing to eachother like normal kids would do in a high school. It wasn't all about Vampire love and biting people it wasn't the typical vampire book. It didn't talk about each characters urges to bite the humans around them it was just an everyday life but the only difference being they were not human. I also found interesting was the part about 'bonds' and how it is a special gift where a guardian can feel his/her emotions of go inside their head and see what they see I thought that was awesome. 

The characters. The character development was amazing. Although we only saw snippets of some I could instantly remember who each and everyone was. Sometimes what happens in books is that the author would introduce a whole bunch of characters at once and then halfway through the book they suddenly pop up, well that didn't happen. Each of their personalities were shown through, I was also able to go through the story with them and I felt like I was part of the book.

Overall, this would be a must to your bookshelf. If you haven't already add it to your goodreads list now!! It is amazingly funny, interesting and it draws you in on the first words. Maybe I have finally found what type of books I like; VAMPIRE BOOKS!! After reading The Coldest Girl in Coldtown (mindblowing book) and this one I really do want to get into reading more fantasy type of books. If you could, recommend some good vampire themed books for me to read!

Keep Reading,

The Sin Eater's Daughter

Melinda Salisbury

Publication Date: February 24th 2015

Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she’s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn’t exactly a member of the court.

She’s the executioner.

As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she’s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla’s fatal touch, avoids her company.

But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he’s able to look past Twylla’s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla’s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.

However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla’s problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?

Why Am I Waiting This Wednesday?

Look at the synopsis! It is amazing! There is doomend love and she kills people when she touches them. what more can I ask for?

My Favourite Wattpad Stories||❤

I have a current addiction to Wattpad. It is an amazing site where I can discover new books by people who aren't even published yet but write like professionals. Some people think that Wattpad is a place where One Direction Fan-Fictions flood your page but hidden behind that are many amazing novels written by teenagers who end up being published! I am a big sucker for romance and if you look through my Wattpad you will find a hell-load of them. Sometimes I find myself staying up until 4am just to finish stories! Click on the links aswell to check them out!

MAILBOY//

This book isn't finished but words cannot describe how much I love this book. It is amazingly written and I find myself waiting every week for a new chapter and it is on my head all the time. I even archived this book so that whenever it is updated I can read it off my phone from the Wattpad app anywhere.

F.A.I.T.H: A Dorm.A Deliquent.A Girl.//

Bloody hell this is amazing! I cried my eyes out when I found out that it had ended. It is written in form of a movie (not a script) and those were probably the best 86 (I think) chapters of a book I have ever read in my life. This book was just phenomenal. It shows you how being rich doesn't mean that you have the perfect life but they are as flawed as we are. BY FAR THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ON WATTPAD, hands down. I found myself wiping a tear after reading this beautifully written. #f.a.i.t.hfamilyforlife

The Presidents Daughteer//

I sit behind my computer waiting for this one to be updated. It is just so darn good! I mean who thought that the presidents daughter disguised as a school girl would work as a story! It is absolutely amazing!!

The Only Girl In The Band//

I love how realistic this book is. It's not all about the perfect love story it is just different. It does cover sexism and how girls can be pushed out and used to attract attention. I love the cover of this book and I hope this gets published because so much effort was put into this book by the author!

I just wanted to tell you guys about my favourite Wattpad stories and why I love them so frikking much!!

Keep Reading,

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower-A Book Review||❤

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
By Stephen Chbosky
Publication Date: 1999 (This edition August 2012)

Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his year yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sidelines forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

I didn't really get this book. It was awesome how it was written in letter form but I just don't get the hype of the book. The movie is amazing hands down, the book as a whole was just a bit difficult to understand. The book didn't really have a plot which did actually have me confused at times.

Charlie is quite an emotionally troubled character. The people who were extremely close to him, his Aunt Helen and his best friend Michael, both died. He always blames himself for it and he was truly traumatised. He dropped down a year of school and didn't go in for a very long time. He finds new friends who are seniors who show him the life of having fun, going to parties and football games. He somehow finally feels like there are people there to understand him and he can understand other people.

I do understand what Charlie is going through, he was trying hard to fit in but everyone thought that he was weird or stupid. I think it is trying to speak through a teenagers point of view like how we worry all the time or take the wrong turns. It was written in diary form which most kids keep to just let all their feeling out and the book wasn't too formal. To be honest, I was expecting a bit more from the book mainly because it was constantly raved about and was adapted into a huge movie with Emma Watson (My women crush all day!) in it. And there was a bit too much action for me like he must be one unlucky guy! His aunt was molested, his bestfriend commited suicide and he uses a lot of drugs. Well that is just too eventful for me and I was sat there a bit baffed.

Overall, I thought this book was alright. It's wasn't worth all of the hype. I was confused a lot, but I can't lie, it was extremely sweet though.

P.S. Sorry for the horrible review it is just that my music exams are today (friday when it is up) and for the past week I have been practising none stop!

All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1)

By Ally Carter

Expected Publication Date: January 27th 2015

Goodreads:

Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things:

1. She is not crazy.
2. Her mother was murdered.
3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.

As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her–so there’s no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door who is keeping an eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands.

Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can’t control Grace–no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do.

Her past has come back to hunt her . . . and if she doesn’t stop it, Grace isn’t the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world all stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.

Why Am I Waiting This Wednesday?

Ally Carter is an amazing author and I am am addicted to her Gallagher Girls series. I can't wait for another series from her!!

Keep Reading,

Naomi...xxx
