Pure

Title: Pure (Covenant #2)
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: April 3rd, 2012
Rating: 5/5


If you've read my previous post, you would know that I had read Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and you would know my absolute love for her books. I mentioned that I was reading it to refresh myself for the next book in the Covenant series, Pure. I finished it in about two seconds and may I just say, it absolutely did not disappoint. I'm pretty sure I just sat down and could not get back up until I was through with it. It's all a little blurry. It was that good. Holy Mary, I'm still reeling from that adventure.

Pure had me jumping with excitement every page. It was stunning, exciting, and heartbreaking. It continues the story right where it left off in Half-Blood with Aiden, Seth, and Alex and it's as emotionally taxing as a nuclear bomb blowing up in the center of my soul. This is one book you do not want to miss ladies and gentlemen. I cannot wait to continue this series and see where it leads. This is all I'm going to say about the ending: "ajhgjiahhljygfklalaieyigAGIUGNBpha." That is all.

Stay tuned for the next adventure.

Until next time, keep reading.

Half-Blood

Title: Half-Blood
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: October 18th, 2011
Rating: 5/5


Greetings to all you fellow readers alike.
(Yes, I indulge in a cheesy greeting every once in a while)

Like the rest of you, my to-read pile has been growing and growing. It seems like it never ends, and that's the way I like it. I'm working my way through it and the book I'm devouring today is a re-read of Half-Blood  by Jennifer L. Armentrout in preparation for reading the second book in the series, Pure. 

I can just tell you straight off that Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of my all-time favorite authors. She writes books that demand your full attention and setting them down is just not something you do. Half-Blood is no exception. Every time I crack it open I'm sucked back in. And I love it.

If you've read the Lux series, you will definitely adore the Covenant series. Again, she creates the perfect, witty, smart ass guy and pairs him with the perfect protagonist that every girl can relate to. However, in each book the plot, elements, and characters are always pleasantly different. Armentrout sure knows what she's doing when creating a masterpiece like this. If you enjoyed The Vampire Academy by Rachelle Mead, then you will definitely  dive straight into this one.

There's danger, romance, humor, tragedy, and surprise around every corner. I have nothing but compliments for Miss Armentrout. I praise the ideas she creates and the words she types. And so will you once you read this book. Enjoy!

Until next time, keep reading!

The Burning Sky

Title: The Burning Sky
Author: Sherry Thomas
Release Date: September 17th, 2013
Rating: 3.5/5

Hello Everyone!
Sorry it's been a few weeks. It takes me awhile to gather my thoughts.

I just finished reading The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas and may I just say, wow. I did not see that coming at all. I was a little skeptical when I added it on my to-read list on Goodreads (feel free to add me). However, I put it at the top of my (very) long list of books to read and dug in.

When I started, it took awhile to get into. Sure, the story started off right away, and that was nice but the writing style seemed a little off to me. Then I figured it out. The style was a mix of a piece written between now and the 1800's. It wasn't difficult, just a little too proper for my taste.

About 50 pages in I got used to the language and actually got into the story. BOOM! Instant love. I was sucked into this magical world where dragons are real and magic was a common thing to use. The story plot? Amazing. The characters? Instantly lovable. The elements? Wish they were real. Humor? In every other page. Romance? Don't worry guys, it's definitely there.

I also enjoyed the fact that the romance was in the book, not surrounding it. It was more subtle than your average romance. The main genre was adventure, and what an adventure it was. It was exciting, passionate, challenging, and overall enjoyable.

The Burning Sky had me biting my nails, jumping in excitement, and laughing hysterically.

Hold onto your dragons Ladies and Gentlemen, I definitely suggest you take a ride on this one.

Until next time, Keep Reading!
