Alright i get excited when i read a book with vampires and this one is definitely not an exception. Second book of the series, First of all
VAMPIRES!!!
Alright i get excited when i read a book with vampires and this one is definitely not an exception. Second book of the series, great story and character development and the ending... finally the next one i know is going to be way more good. It just gives so much potential, honestly!
The series has in total 9 main books with some more between them like short stories, meaning the author needs to think of new ideas much like murders, creatures and other personal adventures the characters go through.
And i know he did a great job. Can't wait to read the next!!!...more
This book is what i was looking for, ages now, especially after i watched The Invasion with Nicole Kidman.

This book is what i was looking for, ages now, especially after i watched The Invasion with Nicole Kidman.
Even with 502 pages i thought it would be overwhelming but in fact i finished it so fast and honestly it's literally one of the best books I've seen my entire life! A parasite developed by a company to help humans get well from mild to serious illnesses and diseases that after years side effects take part. It follows Sally, the protagonist, after she had a car accident and fell into a coma, waking up after they planted this parasite to help her but she became a new person with no memories from her past. She and her boyfriend are trying to find answers of what's going on with the side effects and the ending just gave me chills...
The author also knows what she's doing but it makes sense. If I'm not mistaken she has attended seminars about Parasitology and classes so the book is brilliant written. Not just general information or overwhelming scientific terminologies and explanations that would make the reader to be confused or anything like that.
This is a book about a 0ost-Apocalyptic/Dystopian world we could be in. Amazing and i can't wait to read the next of the trilogy!!!...more

A young police officer who witnessed a murder and then he has to speak to ghosts to find clues and the suspect while he's trained into magic by another old school officer. Many characters get involved, different topics and it has its own British humour.
I'm definitely going to continue reading these series!!!...more

A Dystopian book about a sexual virus written in the style of a journal.
I believe if you read the book World War Z by Max Brooks (also written like a A Dystopian book about a sexual virus written in the style of a journal.
I believe if you read the book World War Z by Max Brooks (also written like a journal) and see the movie you'll understand how to make up some scenes in your mind. Because books with journals, interviews etc don't describe the environment around all the time or what is happening. Mostly the thoughts of the characters and the decisions they take.
In conclusion this is an interesting take of such a virus, easy to be read and small when it comes to page length....more

Instead it follows kinda the same thing they did into the previous one and the author leaves the ending open (in case she wants to write another one?) The series are not a MUST to read and i don't know if the author wrote again before but the whole story was... good and bad. I don't regret reading the books but i would read them again.
However you'll love the characters and I'm sure they'll stay in my mind for ever because they were iconic and their names just suit their personality.
Personally i liked the first book from the series a lot and second comes this one.
And i believe it would be better if these series were a novel or a Duology.
If you like dark romance with a character who has Stockholm Syndrome these series are for you xD...more

Blair had a big character development (in the wrong direction for her tho) and you get familiar with the characters more, making the series interesting and to wonder what they gonna do in the last book.
Unfortunately i had to give a star less because of the continuous apologies they were giving to each other for things they'd say or do that it looked pretty annoying to he honest. I hope the next and last book will be better considering this.

Honestly the way Ray Bradbury wrote around five short stories that were rejected by magazines back in the day and then when he combined all together Fahrenheit 451 was born i think it was his destiny to make this happen.
This book is a classic one and we all know burning books was happening in the past, happening right now and will happen again in the future so it hits close to home. A dystopian novel with some sci-fi elements, weird scenes and poetic sentences that i found pretty funny because the characters can't and don't know how to read or talk poetry.
At the end of the book there's Afterword from the author that he explains everything and gives some of his background even. Beautiful~...more

I have to say i never have read a book like this and I will probably won't because it made me feel unsettling and a bit creep out (tho I'm going to finish the second of these series) but it had some good elements despite the unrealistic point of view of the protagonist and some decisions she took.
Other than that it was intense and read it pretty fast....more

"Married With Zombies" is a delightful blend of comedy, romance, and survival horror. The story follows a couple grappling with marital issues who find themselves thrust into a zombie apocalypse during a routine counseling session.
The book strikes a perfect balance between humor and tension, with witty dialogue and clever nods to classic zombie lore. I particularly enjoyed the chapter introductions, reminiscent of the rules from 'Zombieland,' which added an extra layer of fun to the reading experience.
What sets this book apart is its relatable protagonists. Unlike many survival tales, the couple possesses no special abilities or plot armor—they're just regular people trying to navigate the chaos around them. Despite the high stakes, the narrative never feels overwhelming, keeping the reader engaged from start to finish!!!
I found myself unable to put the book down, eagerly turning pages to see what would happen next. And the promise of a trilogy has me counting down the days until the next installment. Plus, the clever easter egg on the final page left me eagerly anticipating what's to come.
Overall, "Married With Zombies" is a refreshingly unique take on the zombie genre that left me hungry for more. Can't wait to read the next book of this trilogy!!!...more

The characters had a good development, some will stay in your mind for a long time and it had some good action scenes when it comes to fights.
Only con (and the reason why i rated it with a star less) is the continuous description of the same thing every now and then. How the protagonist and his fellow coops had to work to keep safe the streets and get the income from store owners for their protection. I believe it could be some pages less without adding the same (almost routine) but its not a big deal, I'm sure you'll love reading this novel!!!...more

Two magicians who were bound together to perform their abilities within a circus so a winner is declared. While the rest of the participants use illusions to act as if they're using magic the two protagonists try to make magic to look like illusions so nobody suspects anything.
What i loved is the characters. How important people of a talent such as Illusionists, ballerinas, circus producers and more were to many people and not only to those who are into this kind of job like today. And that by the time passing it fades away only to be memories and stories for the future generations.
