After their beautiful yet brief bonding ceremony in Italy, Schuyler Van Alen and Jack Force are forced to separate.

My Review:
Lost in Time definitely had some really good moments..but some moments had me scratching my head because I was very lost! I will admit that I didn't really remember what happened in the previous book (Misguided Angel) so that probably accounts for why I was confused at parts!
Anyways, one of my favorite parts about this book (and the series!!) is Jack and Schuyler's relationship. It is interesting to read how the pair will do anything to be together and I really like reading about them! I also liked seeing Jack and Schuyler search for the gates of promise..added this aspect to the series makes the books more exciting and keeps the reader on the edge of his/her seat!
The one thing that bothered me about this book though was the end! Especially because it was (somewhat) of a cliffhanger! I though that Melissa de la Cruz was going to take the book one way but she went a completely different way then I expected. 


Overall, this was a fine book in this series. It wasn't as jamb packed and as amazing other books in this series, but it was still a good read and I am looking forward to reading the last book in the series in January!


My Rating:

Crave by Melissa Darnell Review

Name: Crave
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Release Date: October 18th, 2011
416 pages
Thank's Netgalley and Harlequin Teen for giving me this ARC to read!


Savannah Colbert has been shunned all her life by the kids of the Clann. And when she undergoes some drastic changes after a strange illness, Savannah learns secrets about the group and about herself—dangerous secrets. For the Clann are powerful magic users, and Savannah herself is half Clann and half vampire—a forbidden, unheard of combination. Falling for Clann golden boy Tristan Coleman isn't just a bad idea—it could be deadly if anyone finds out. But her attraction to Tristan—and his to her—isn't something either of them can resist for long.-Goodreads

My Review:
Wow what a great read! At first, I was a little bit skeptical about this one and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The beginning was a little bit slow for me, but around 40 pages in things started picking up and I found myself really enjoying this book!

I really liked how original this book was. I haven't read any books about a half witch (or clann members as in this book) half vampire so it was really interesting to see the story unfold.

I also really liked seeing Tristan and Savannah interact throughout the novel! I don't want to give too much away but it was nice seeing their relationship progress throughout the novel!
Overall, I recommend this book looking for some paranormal with a side of romance!

My Rating:
Four out of Five stars

Side note: My reviews/posts might be later in the day because of school in such. No worries though I am still going to be posting!

The Vampier Stalker by Allison van Diepen Review

Name: The Vampire Stalker
Publisher: Point
Release Date: June 1st, 2011


What if the characters in a vampire novel left their world--and came into yours?

Amy is in love with someone who doesn't exist: Alexander Banks, the dashing hero in a popular series of vampire novels. Then one night, Amy meets a boy who bears an eerie resemblance to Alexander. In fact, he IS Alexander, who has escaped from the pages of the book and is in hot pursuit of a wicked vampire named Vigo. Together, Amy and Alexander set out to track Vigo and learn how and why Alexander crossed over. But when she and Alexander begin to fall for each other, Amy wonders if she even wants him to ever return to the realm of fiction.
-Goodreads

My Review:

Wow what a really fun read! It might sound weird, but I have always imagined my favorite character from a book coming to life and this book (sort of) made my dreams come true!

It was really awesome to see Amy's journey throughout the novel and seeing her meet and eventually fall in love with her favorite character: Alexander Banks.
The only thing that I did not really like about this one was the plot moved a little bit too quick and I wished that the story was longer!

If you always have imagined your favorite book character coming to life, give this book a try!

My Rating: Four out of Five Stars
