The Immortal Sin Trilogy-

Book 2: Immortal Descent 

How far would you fall for answers?

Amanda has accepted her new life and the darkness has become more appealing than ever before because of Mitch. But when her world is thrown into a drastic downward spiral, she is left questioning everything. Amanda embarks on a nightmarish adventure and her faith is put to the ultimate test as she journeys onward to discover the true meaning behind family, love and her destiny between good and evil.

My Review for Immortal Sin:

First off, I would like to say that pizza is amazing. I didn't know it could change a Demon (LOL)!!! 

I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I will tell why, but first to explain the first two sentences above!! In                             the book, there is a girl named Amanda and she lives with her grandmother. Her father disappeared after she was born and her mother is the peace core, but never calls. One night, Amanda goes to her friend's party that she is hosting because her parents were out of the country and bumps into this guy. After that everything starts to change. Her eyes change for black, to pearl, and then back to normal. Then she meets Mitch. She know that he can give her the answers she needs. Mitch on the other had has questions of his own. Once she tells him of the eye color change, it all becomes clear. She is the Immortal Sin. It is like the nephilim, born from human and of fallen angel, but without the human part. Amanda is part Angel and part Demon. That is the Immortal Sin. 

By the way, did I mention that Mitch is the Demon? No! Well he is a Demon and for some reason he is changing. He is starting to feel things that he shouldn't. I mean he is a demon, why would he feel anything for Amanda? Well, we know how this will go. He is a demon. She is a Sin. They will get together. Their love is immortal and eternal, and blah blah blah. That is not how is goes. She needs to learn how to control her powers and Mitch can teach her. There is a sense of attraction, but she fights it as long as she can. She doesn't want to hurt. HE can't even say truth or please. Everything seems good, her best friend, Gregg, who is dating her other best friend, Alexia, is a watcher sent by her mother to protect her, her grandmother is an angel, and her demon loves pizza. Then another demon showed up.

The reason I gave this book a 4/5 is because it seemed to go on, and on , and on, until the action in the end with the other demon, Ravish. Amanda fights it, but Mitch just want to protect her and he figures the best way is if she is around him all the time. <---- a="" action="" all="" amp="" and="" angel="" bad.="" bit="" book="" but="" completely="" demons="" end.="" fantasy="" favorite="" fights="" i="" intended="" is="" it="" just="" like="" little="" maybe="" my="" no="" of="" others="" out="" paranormal="" pizza="" pun="" romance="" scene="" she="" so="" t="" that="" the="" there="" think="" to="" too.="" u="" understandable.="" was="" wasn="" whole="" will="">SIN

My Review of Immortal Descent:

We have Mitch and Amanda together, Gregg and Alexia together, and Prom coming up soon!! All very exciting. Amanda just wants to love and be with itch all the time and Mitch wants the same, except everybody else says that she needs to work on balance and her angel side. Then a new Watcher by the name of Luca comes to help protect Amanda. She and Mitch fight and when Prom night comes around, he doesn't even show up. But, she knows something is wrong. She found Mitch's cell and has had a dream that showed her the underworld and Mitch in danger. She has to get there fast, but doesn't know where to go. Unfortunately, she has to see one person she never thought she would have to meet, her Father. 

 This is a great sequel to Immortal Sin! I give it a 5/5. There were bad moments, good moments, and very beautiful moments. I hated it when Mitch never showed up for Prom. I thought she might turn to Luca when Mitch didn't show up. Thankfully she didn't. Luca seems weird. I think he might be important later on.  She really loves Mitch. I love how she tries to help everyone, but does it her own way. She got to meet her demon father. He left to protect her, but he has a big secret. He does care about her no matter if he left. I totally recommend these books!!

Teaser Tuesday 11/26/13 The Shadowhunter's Codex by Cassandra Claire & Joshua Lewis

The Codex by Cassandra Claire & Joshua Lewis

Delve into the details of all things Shadowhunter with this illustrated guide to the knowledge and lore of the Shadowhunter world.

Since the thirteenth century, the Shadowhunter’s Codex has been the one and only manual for Shadowhunters looking to brush up on their demon languages, learn proper stele use, and discover just what exactly a pyxis is. Featured in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, this guide is a necessity for any young Nephilim on their journey to becoming a Shadowhunter. Beautifully illustrated, the Codex contains images of the famous Shadowhunter homeland of Idris, as well as depictions of demons and other Downworlders.

But this isn’t just any copy of The Shadowhunter’s Codex. It’s Clary’s copy, and as an artist herself, she’s sketched pictures of her friends and family in the book, and scrawled helpful advice in the margins. Of course, she couldn’t exactly stop Jace or Simon from adding their thoughts either. Part encyclopedia, part history, part training manual—complete with commentary from Shadowhunters who have seen it all—this beautiful guide is a perfect supplement to the #1 New York Times bestselling series

Why Do People Become Shadowhunters, by Mangus Bane

Possible Reasons Why:

1. You possess stout heart, strong will, and able body.
2. You possess a stout body, able will, and wrong heart.
3. Local Shadowhunters are ironically punishing you by making you join them.
4. You were recruited by a Local Institute to join the Nephilim as an ironic punishment for you mistreatment of Downworlders.
5. Your home, village, or nation is under siege by demons.
6. Your home, village, or nation is under siege by rouge Downworlders.
7. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
8. You know too much, and should be recruited because the secrecy of the Shadow World has already been compromised for you.
9. You know too little; it would be helpful to the Shadowhunters if you knew more.
10. You know exactly the right amount , making you a natural recruit.
11. You possess a natural resistance to glamour magic and must be recruited to keep you quiet and provide you with some basic protection.
12. You have a compound last name already and convinced someone important that yours is a Shadowhunter family and the Shadowhuntersiness has just been weakened by generations of poor breeding.
13. You had a torrid affair with a member of the Nephilim Council, and now he's trying to cover his tracks.
14. Shadowhunters are concerned enough, they are no longer haughty and condescending enough—have sought you out to add a much needed boost of haughty condescension.
15. You ave been bitten by a radioactive Shadowhunter, giving you the proportional strength and speed of a Shadowhunter.
16. Large bearded man on flying motorcycle appeared to take you away to Shadowhunter school. (Note: Presence of flying motorcycle suggests bearded man may be a vampire.)
17. Your mom has been in hiding from your evil dad, and you found out you're a Shadowhunter only a few weeks ago.

                        That's right. Seventeen reasons. Because that's how many I thought of. Now run off, little Shadowhunter, and learn to murder things. And be nice to Downworlders.

WoW 11/20/13 World After (Penryn & the End Days, #2) by Susan Ee

World After (Penryn & the End Days, #2) by Susan Ee

Release Date: November 19, 2013

In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.

When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.

Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.

Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?

If you haven't read the first book, I recommend that you read it first before this book. It's all about angels, how they came to earth, and how Penryn meets an angel with his wings cut off. Her sister was taken and she knew that the mysterious yet handsome angel could and will help her because she has his wings!!! I am excited for this book t come out. We are going to see what happened after the handsome Raffe left Penryn and what Penryn is going to do to search for her sister--and Raffe. But Raffe has a decision to make, recapture his wings and take his right place amongst the angels or helping Penryn survive? Which will he choose? It is going to be action packed, a hint of thriller, and possibly some romance?

This week's WoW is Angel Fever (Angel #3) by LA. Weatherly

As half-angel Willow strives to save the world from her parasitic otherworldly kin, romance and tension heat up to a climactic finale.

In the devastated remains of the world, millions of people live in "refugee" camps provided by the angels who have all but enslaved humanity. As this angelic stranglehold tightens, Willow and Alex are recruiting and training new Angel Killers while struggling to hold ground on the celestial battlefield. But Willow continues to have feelings for Seb, and her love and resolve are tested as a shattering revelation sends Alex on a separate journey. Now that the final battle versus the angels is about to begin-and the fate of the world hangs in the balance-each of them must face the consequences of their own choices. Will love endure? Will the human race survive?

If you have read the first two books, Angel Burn and Angel Fire, then you know how awesome these books are! Angels vs. Humans. I can't wait to see how this trilogy ends!!! Who will win? Will love tower over evil? Who will Willow choose? Everything ends with this book.

Collide (Collide #1)

Collide (Collide #1) by Shelly Crane

Sherry has always known there was something out there. She's eighteen, works for a tabloid newspaper in Chicago and has a brother, Danny who is a lazy mooch. They live a pretty normal dull life with hippie parents and a normal existence. Then the moon dissapears and people start to go missing only to reappear later, but different. Sherry has an abusive ex-boyfriend who shows up and claims to be one of these beings that have been showing up around the world. He's no longer the same person in that body. He tells her he has come to protect her and her brother and takes her underground, against her will to save her, where they meet others like them. She begins to unravel the truth about Merrick, about what he's really doing here, about the way he looks at her, about the crazy dangerous world they live in. Can he convince her that he's here to help? Will she like what she finds when she opens up to the truth? Will he be the one to love her when everyone else has failed her? Will he be able to protect her?

Can love really transcend time and space? In this book, it can!! Completely enchanting tale of a regular girl, her "gifted" brother, and her brother's protecter. Falling in love isn't easy for Shelly. Especially, after the moon disappeared and The Immortals came and hurt people. But she did with her brother's protector.  Dangers lie ahead but they will face them together and with the others in their group of "gifted" and Keepers. I was completely captivated by this novel. I love Shelly Crane's novels and this is one of her best.  Such a great love story about two different people form two different places falling in love. Just like Romeo and Juliet, but without all the dying. Totally recommended!!! Five star worthy!!!!! I can't wait for the second book, Uprising.

The Beautiful and Cursed (The Beautiful and Cursed #1)

After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.

In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.

And Grayson has gone missing.

No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.

Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.




The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In the beginning, I thought this book wouldn't be very good. I was wrong. This is a great book for those of you who like steampunk books. It has the same old story but with a twist. There are Angels, Demons and Gargoyles. Yes. I said gargoyles. The stone statues you would see on a church like in the movie the Hunchback of Notre Dame. THis book takes place in Paris, where Ingrid, her sister Gabby, and her mother find out that out that Ingrid's twin, Grayson, is missing. The only thing Ingrid wants to do is find, but there is more around the corner then just the strangely handsome servant, Luc. There is a whole other world that Gabby and Ingrid don't know about, but will soon play a huge part in.

I think this book was well written, giving all the main characters a chance to tell their side of the story. It is a multi-split book, as I call it. Multiple characters tell their side of the exact same story and that is what makes this book such an epic read. It's spontaneous! Who knew Gargoyles could be this handsome! I can't wait for the second book, The Lovely and the Lost, to come out!

A Fractured Light

A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great sequel to A Beautiful Dark. There are many decisions that Skye had to make. One of them was the most shocking in the entire book. Skye feels for Asher, maybe even loves him, but she still likes Devin. And later in the book, She will need his help do deal with her light powers. Overall, this book was great!!! There were many twists and turns and MANY plans that were made. I can't wait to find out what happens in the final book.

View all my reviews

A Beautiful Dark

On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.

A Beautiful Dark is the first book in a captivating trilogy by debut author Jocelyn Davies.


A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two guys, one girl. Same old story. WRONG!!! This is so much more. It's about love, choices, and free will. Skye has a choice to make. Will she choose Asher and free will or Devin and no chaos in the world? Who knows, well besides those of you who have read the book. It is a different take on an angel-inspired book.I thought it would be another "girl falls for fallen angel" book, but I was wrong. I couldn't put it down. I'm just happy I'm not her. Two boys who are very different. Two councils who want to use her. Yeah, I like my life better. But I can't wait to see how things turn out in the second book. But to some up the book, its: Guardians VS. Rebels. Light VS. Dark. Orders VS. Love. Choices will be made, but what and who will she choose?
