Hush hush by Becca Fitzpatrick chapters 1_6

I loved this book from the first line it's based around Nora Grey who lives in the middle of nowhere her mother is a work aholic who is rarly home, Nora is basically kept an eye on by the house keeper and kept sain by her best friend Vee. But their biology teacher has other ideas and splits the class up from there friends to sit with someone else, where Nora meets Patch, who says this is the first time he's been to school, he seems to know a lot about Nora but doesn't answer her questions. Nora decides he's dangerous but she is also unspeakably drawn to him as much as she tries to ignore it. Vee doesn't make Nora feel any better as they go to the library and see Patch there, Vee says he's checking on books about stalking Nora. Vee lends Nora her car to drive home. Nora is thoughtful as she drives home, so thoughtful that she hits someone, she stops and person she hit gets up and comes to attack her warping the door of the car, smashing the window and grabbing Nora, she drives round trying calm down and ends up back at Vee's place when the. Girls go out to look at the damage of the car the only thing wrong with it is a small crack in the windscreen. Nora starts to doubt herself as to what actually happened

They spend time talking about how to kill Damon, then Elena goes back home in the saftey of her bedroom she rereads the not, which is an extract from her diary the diary that was stolen.

The vampire diaries by L.J Smith chapters 12-16

The relation between Elena and Stefan seems to be a little strained and with the accurence of an impossible stranger who just keeps turning up Elena is understandably tense.

This story continues to be well written and it breaks a lot of the vampire myth which I like, the characters are so real and believeable I am looking forward to book two. Onto the Struggle.

The vampire diaries by L.J Smith chapters 1-5

I love vampire books and this is not let down, I have to warn you that if you have seen the tv show , the book is very different the characters are discribed differently and the book has some different characters to the tv show.
But the book is well written and that put together with the characters who are real and believable. The chapters are quite long so there is a lot to say about what happens, first of all Elena comes back from France where she has spent the summer after her parents died in a tragic car accident. Elena is the queen of school every girl wants to be her and every boy wants to be with her. Every boy except the new boy Stefan Salvator which makes Elena need to get to know this boy who just hasn't noticed her. Of course there is a reason that Stefan is being stand offish Elena reminds him of his ex Katherine, the girl who broke his heart, the girl who changed him completly, the girl who turned him from mortal to immortal.
I do truly love this book it is so well written and brilliantly thought through, there is so much feeling in the story, you can feel Elena's feelings towards Stefan and Stefan's feelings towards Elena. Also it has a great way of creating tension and suspense, my favourite example of this is when after a bad attempt of talking to Stefan, Elena runs to parents grave to cry have a release. Her friends Bonnie and Meredith come to find her, they make plan b regarding Stefan and chat away until it gets dark, the girls walk back through woods towards home, feeling nervous and tense Bonnie stops a different voice comes from her as she stares into the distance and announces "Elena someone is waiting in the shadows for you" terrified the girls run in fear they are being followed, once across the bridge they know they are safe.
Its such a great ending to the chapter I loved it, for a it to end that way especially has the first few chapters was about Elena's self loving and Stefan's battle with his animal instincts.

The Mistress by Martine McCutcheon- chapter 17- the end

Ok These last chapters really race on in speed, which in turn looses story content and you loose the will to live. It starts off that Mandy comes back from Paris after a romantic liason with Tommy a Italian Photographer, she ignores Jake completely and ends up going to LA to do this party that her work has been putting together, some how god only knows how, Jake happens to be there and the couple get it back together, it has to be doomed right? Jake leaves his wife and sets up home with mandy who finds out she's pregnant, then quickly has the baby Bonnie, but she finds it difficult having Jake around all the time and encourages him to go back to live with his wife, so they can continue to play the Mistress game, obviously there is nothing going on with his wife he just lives in the house with her and stuff. I thought it started to get pointless way before this but I really lost the care to finish it once she found out she was pregnant. I did however finish the book and I am glad to be at the end and be on to reading the next book now. I didn't rate it at all, let me know what you guys thought.

Thursday 26 November 2009

The mistess by Martine McCutcheon chapters 11-17

Still not loving the book it's a good story, but very unhappening the past few chapters have built a more rounded story for Jake and Mandy's relationship as it looks fated to end after Mandy's sister Olivia tries to take her own life after her husband wants to marry his mistress. Then Mandy spots Jake with his beautiful wife Helen, which throws another spanner in the works, after Mandy's job promotion Mandy decides a holiday away with her sister is what is needed. Jake though has other plans and wants to take Mandy to Paris. Against her better judgment Mandy postpones her trip with Olivia to go to Paris. Jake then stands Mandy up, what exactly is he playing at? A new love in Paris may beckon for Mandy. I hope it's a happily ever after for Mandy without Jake.

The mistress by Martine McCutcheon chapters 6--11

The story developes further and is done rather quickly, Mandy comes to her senses about her fling with Jake when she sees her sisters husband with his mistess. It appears that friends and family all have advice for Mandy, her friends come over to offer supportas an allout arguement breaks out between Assia and Deena. The story goes on to suggest that if your mate sets you up on a blind date you should avoid it at all costs. After a very disturbing blind date, Mandy starts up her affair with Jake. The writing still seems to be held back like she is too afraid to say what she really feels which is really disappinting sadly.

Thursday 19 November 2009

The mistress by Martine McCutcheon chapters 1-5

I love how this book starts, it's kind of sex and the city with how it starts, for me though there is a bit too much ellipsis in it, I totally understand why it's there, to give the characters more of a 3 dimensional aspect but I find that a bit boring. Mandy as a character is believeable and who wouldn't want job like Mandy's as a party planner for the rich and famous. Mandy's first meeting with Jake is really sweet I liked how that was written but as their romance develops quickly I expected my detail on the sex stuff, maybe it's just me whising it was a black lace novel, but for me it started well and then just felt like Martine had lost her nerve to make it really steamy. Maybe it's me but if you're going to write smut at least write it like your comfortable with it.
If anyone else has comments to make about the book please do I am off to read the next five chapters.

Fire and Rayne by Kate Cann

I've been a Kate Cann fan for too long to remember, she has inspired me to write and capitivated me with her stories for years, so I never turn down the chance to read her work. This book is stunning, I felt every bit of the fear as it builds. If you read possesing Rayne you'll know what I'm talking about, this book carries on what the first book started and gives you so much more, with a few surprises. I loved it!
Kate Cann is awsome and her books are too! If you love a good spooky read or are a fan of the Twilight saga you have to read this book.
