The Witch Should Have Burned... At Least It Would Have Put Her And All Of The Readers Out Of Their Misery!

Um, where to begin? For lack of a better saying, THIS BOOK SUCKED! It took me an entire month to read it. Not because it was a hard read, but because it annoyed the shit out of me. I guess you could say I can't stop until I'm finished. Once I start reading a book I have to finish it, no matter how boring or lame it really is.

The only way this book could be fixed is for it to have never been written. Georgia Taylor obviously knew nothing about witches and just made the story up as she went. She did not insinuate, but outright stated that a witch was someone who called upon the devil himself for powers. Obviously she is as dense as they come for the simple facts that witches neither worship or believe in the devil.

I am not interested in explaining what a witch or a christian believes in, I am only stating the fact that this Georgia was seriously confused and mislead. I understand that this book has been written about the burning times and that many women were burned. I mean them no disrespect, but in my opinion Georgia showed great disrespect to every person who ever suffered from this awful tragedy.

This book lacked substance and was down right offensive. It made Christians look like Nazis and Witches look like Terrorists. Everyone in this book was evil and two faced. I didn't relate to a single character and actually fancied the idea of death to all.

The Red Witch of Nevers makes me want to be in "The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" right along with Jim Carrey so I can have this horrid experience erased from my memory.

Steer Clear of this book unless you are trying to punish yourself. This by far is the worst book I have ever encountered.

Any Witch Way, But Here!

Like there could be anything worse than being 16, in high school, and walking in the shadow of her supermodel best friend. But, compared to what happens next, that part of her life is just plain normal.

Morgan Rowlands has been raised a devote Catholic. She lives in the suburbs with her Mother, Father, and sister Mary K. She has two close friends, Bree and Robbie. Everything about Morgan screams I AM NORMAL. Unfortunately, to Morgans dismay, her world is about to be turned upside down.

Simple facts, such as, I am a Catholic turn into I am a Witch. I am a teenage girl turn into I am a teenage Witch. I've never had a boyfriend, nor have I been interested turns into I want to be with Cal Blaire. Everything she knows about her self changes when Cal walks into her life.

Morgan must make hard decisions and face startling facts about herself and her future. What path will she choose? And in making those decisions, will she leave part of herself behind?

I know this is a Young Adult series, but I loved it! Morgan reminded me a lot of myself when I was a teenager. She never felt like she quite fit in, always felt a little off. She is strong and stubborn, standing up for what she believes in. I think she is a great role model for teenagers and young women. If I had daughters I would put this series on an "expected to read" list.

Cate Tiernan is a fantastic writer! She can take you to a world you know doesn't exist and make it feel just as real as your own. I have read two of her series and was never disappointed. To find out more follow Cate @ http://catetiernan.org/sweep/

The Moat Surrounding My Heart Has Run Dry...

I know, I know! Talk about gag me with a pitch fork. Uh, Nicholas Sparks, enough said. What can I say, I have a MAJOR thing for Channing Tatum (yummy). So, I really wanted to see this movie. First, to see what the hype was about. Second, to stare at Channing without a shirt on. And third, to stare at Channing without a shirt on. That is when I decided I should read the book, then watch the movie.

I hate to say it, but the first half of the book was GREAT! The love, the passion, the devastation. If there is one thing that Sparks can do, its make ME (of all people) cry. The way these two characters felt about each other, well there is really no way to describe it. They are soul mates. True soul mates. Every part of these two individuals comes together to make a whole. I couldn't stop reading, as a matter of a fact I read the book in one evening, giving up ALL of my sleep to finish the book.

The second part of the book was much harder to read. They were apart, Savannah at home and John over seas. They continually write back and forth to each other, but it is not good enough. John makes a mistake, which ends the relationship. Although this is known throughout the entire book, it shattered my heart to see it all play out.

When i was done reading this book I felt as though I had just been broken up with. The ending was wonderful and horrifying at the same time. I will not say more on the ending, except it was different in the movie.

I hated the movie. Although Channing was a wonderful piece of Eye Candy... there was nothing else to it. It seemed as though Savannah was a bible pushing brat and all her and John shared was a summer fling. There was no passion. There was no love. But there was plenty of mopey devastation. The only thing I can say for the movie is that if the ending of the movie would have been the ending of the book, then the book would have been the best book I had ever read.

So if you plan to read this book, read it. But, then watch the last 15 minutes of the movie and substitute the movie ending for the book ending.

The Romeo and Juliet of Porn

If i say succubus and incubus please tell me the first thought that comes to mind is ~*~Sex~*~

Although there is much more to Shadowfae by Erica Hayes, there is defiantly A LOT OF SEX in this book. There is also quite a bit of language. To enjoy Erica's writing I don't believe you can be offended easily. So,if the F-Bomb is on your No-No list, then please steer clear of her work. With that said, lets get down to business.

Jade the succubus, Rajah the incubus -- both enslaved by Kane, the demon lord. They do his bidding, kill his enemies, and service him when needed. They will never die, never age, and will NEVER be free. Or so this is what they have been lead to believe.

Rajah knows differently. He knows of a way. A dangerous, risky, almost impossible way to escape the slave bangles and to become human again. No more soul sucking sex. No more painful bangles dictating their every move. But doing so also means no more Jade.

They both strive for the same goal in this page turning novel, working together for freedom, but to meet all of the requirements they must betray one another. Can either of them manage to hurt the other, or will they remain under Kane's rule of thumb for eternity?

After 200 years of slavery, what would you do?

Okay, so this was the first book that I have read in which my mother would categorize it as a "trash novel". I, myself, found it very well written and quite exciting. I guess you could say I don't have a strong moral character. I like violence, sex, and danger (in theory). Bring on the sex, the potty-mouths, and the fight scenes! So, in a nut shell, I was not offended by any part of this book. I found it a great read and am only warning those who prefer less profanity.

No One Says It Better Except For Someone Other Than Yourself!

Okay, so I am a BIG fan of quotes. I quote from movies, books, songs and actual people. I figured to put a little piece of myself into this blog thingy, I would maybe put up one quote per week. Maybe more, maybe less.

Also if anyone else has quotes that they like, feel free to post them as a comment or what-not.

I Wish Someone Would Bite Me!

So, this is my very first blog! (under no circumstance are you to click the X!) Alright, lets get started!

Okay, this opinion may be a bit bias for the simple fact that I LOVE KELLEY ARMSTRONG! I have read her Darkest Powers Trilogy (YA Series) and have been hooked on her writing style since the very first sentence of The Summoning.

Just two days ago I picked up the first book in Kelley's Otherworld series. I found it quite hard to put down, finishing the 436 pages in less than 48 hours.

I'm not great with compassion, I prefer a side of sarcasm. The main character Elena Michaels hands that to me on a silver platter. I do quite enjoy this characters personality. She is a strong woman with a lot of spunk! Along with the fact that she is the only female werewolf... which makes her extremely bad ass!

Throughout the book she is basically have a fight with destiny. She is a werewolf, not born but bitten. She wants to be a human, and only a human. She fights to keep a normal human existence, making the "change" as little as possible. But destiny is always a step ahead of her, and now it has come to bite her in the ass.

Elena must make many hard and painful decisions while not only fighting with destiny, but also with her inner demons. The demons, AKA Phillip and Clayton, part of the infamous love triangle in which she is a member of, are from both worlds. Phillip is her human lover/live-in boyfriend and Clayton is her werewolf hearts desire.

Destiny has caught up with her and not only must she fight a battle with unknown enemies, but she must fight a battle of conscience and heart.

What path with Elena choose? Who will she choose to be with? And does any of it really matter, for her pack is hunted and members are dying.

I defiantly give this book a BIG thumbs up! It's a great read! Kelley knows when its time to be serious and when its time to just have fun. I highly recommend this book. Beware, there are a few sex scenes and a bit of foul language, but not enough to consider this anything but a well written slice of sarcastic, romantic, breath-taking, fun-loving heaven. No one does strong woman like Kelley Armstrong.

And just to show you how bad ass Elena is, here is a quote:

"...If you lay another hand on him, I'll do something to you that will make that ear bite look like a paper cut. And if you kill him, I swear to God and the devil and anyone who will listen, if you kill him, I will hunt you down. I will find you and I will inflict on you every torture I can imagine. I'll blind you and I'll castrate you and I'll burn you. But I won't kill you. I won't let you die. I'll put you in hell and I'll make you live there for the rest of your life." (Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Pg. 403)
