Overbite...

Meena Harper has a special gift, but it's only now that anyone's ever appreciated it. The Palatine Guard — a powerful secret demon-hunting unit of the Vatican — has hired her to work at their new branch in Lower Manhattan. With Meena's ability to predict how everyone she meets will die, the Palatine finally has a chance against the undead.

Sure, her ex-boyfriend was Lucien Antonescu, son of Dracula, the prince of darkness. But that was before he (and their relationship) went up in flames. Now Meena's sworn off vampires for good ... at least until she can prove her theory that just because they've lost their souls doesn't mean de
mons have lost the ability to love.

Meena knows convincing her co-workers — including her partner, über-demon-hunter Alaric Wulf — that vampires can be redeemed won't be easy ... especially when a deadly new threat seems to be endangering not just lives of the Palatine, but Meena's friends and family as well.

But Meena isn't the Palatine's only hope. Father Henrique — aka Padre Caliente — New York City's youngest, most charming priest, has also been assigned to the case.

So why doesn't Meena — or Alaric — trust him?

As she begins unraveling the truth, Meena finds her loyalties tested, her true feelings laid bare ... and temptations she never even imagined existed, but finds impossible to resist.

This time, Meena may finally have bitten off more than she can chew.

I LOVED the ending to this and even though something unspeakable happened to one of my favorite characters I still loved it. I loved that Meg Cabot kinda did something that no one else really does and that's *SPOILER ALERT* kill off one of the main characters. You don't see that very often. Meg Cabot has wonderful stories that people either love or hate and for me this is defiantly a love!

Tangled...

Just because I'm a dork...

Expect adventure, hea
rt, humor, and hair . . . lots of hair, when Disney Tangled comes to theaters Holiday 2010! This Little Golden Book retelling will thrill young children with its beautiful full-color illustrations.

If you love the movie go look at this book. It came with our purchase of Tangled and I immediately hijacked it from my brothers. This book is cute and has amazing pictures to look at!
...My fave











Insatiable...

Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.

But her bosses are making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn't believe in them.

Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die. (Not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does.)

But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. It's a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.

The problem is, Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met whom she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's future, she's never been able look into her own.

And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.

Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future. . . .

If she even has one.


I LOVE Meg Cabot. I loved the Mediator series, Abandon, and I can't wait for Underworld (her new book, the sequel to Abandon). This book was not a disappointment to me. I don't understand why it's getting such low ratings. I really liked this book. I was right there with the book description, I am sick of vampires (except for my Twilight craze... don't judge me) and so I have been avoiding books with vampires. But then I saw this and so I caved. Meg Cabot+vampires=AWESOME (at least to me) This is not to be missed it you love Cabot!

The White Glove War...

This time I KNOW I've missed the bus...

The Son of Neptune (Hero's of Olympus #2)...

Yes I know... I am a slacker.

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.


Percy is confused. When he awoke from his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa tol him he is a demigod and trained him to fight with the pen/sword in his pocket. Somehow Percy manages to make it to a camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he has to keep killing monsters along the way. But the camp doesn't ring and bells with him. The only thi
ng he can recall from his past is another name: Annabeth

Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. Sure, she was an obedient daughter, even when her mother was possessed by greed. But that was the problem - when the Voice took over he mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for and evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk. Hazel wished she could ride away from it all on the stallion that appears in her dreams.

Frank is a klutz. His grandmother says he is descended from
heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery - although not good enough to win camp war games. His bulky physique makes him feel like an ox, especially infront of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely - enough to share the secret he holds close to his heart.

Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment o
f the Heroes od Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all destined to play a part in the Prophesy of Seven.

Truth is I didn't think that I was going to make it through this book at all. It may have been the fact that I was really busy, its 513 pages and I just didn't want to read anymore long books because I don't think that I could handle it at all, or the fact that the time between the first one and the second was so long that I lost interest in it. Whatever the reason, I almost didn't finish. By the time they had FINALLY gotten to Alaska I just didn't care. Don't get me wrong this is a good book, it has Percy again so all you fans of Percy Jackson will be happy but I honestly wasn't a big fan of Percy as a character in his series. The only thing that might get me to read the next one is if its in Annabeth's point of view (wouldn't that be something), or from Jason's/Piper's/Annabeth's. Still a good book once it got to the climax though so for all of you that love this series go for it!

Dreamless (Starcrossed #2)...

I don't know how long this has been out so once again I'm most likely three steps behind the bus. But here's the cover for Dreamless (Starcrossed #2)!!! (And yes I do think this post deserves three exclamation points)
