“You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”

"If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay."

Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night,
And I’d go back to December all the time

Mini-Review: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White

Sat, 29 Jan 2011 18:06:37 -0500

Summary: Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie’s always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours, but still. Normal.

Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie’s dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

My Rating: 4.5/5

My thoughts: I’m giving this one a perfect 5 stars. It has a right dose of everything. Romance, humor, great characters, and an excellent story. This is something fresh from any of those trying-hard-copycat YA books out there. I LOVED Evie!! She’s the representation of a real female teenager. She’s downright hilarious and girly. I seriously can’t wait for the sequel! Maybe I should have just picked this when the sequel is already out. Anyways, I highly recommend this one, especially for anyone who needs a fast yet very fascinating read.

Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton

My Rating: 4/5 stars

From Goodreads: Teagan Wylltson’s best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures—goblins, shape-shifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty—are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn’t worried. Her life isn’t in danger. In fact, it’s perfect. She’s on track for a college scholarship. She has a great job. She’s focused on school, work, and her future. No boys, no heartaches, no problems.

Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives. Finn’s a bit on the unearthly beautiful side himself. He has a killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. And either he’s crazy or he’s been haunting Abby’s dreams, because he’s talking about goblins, too … and about being The Mac Cumhaill, born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby’s right. The goblins are coming.

My thoughts: This is the first book that I’ve read solely about goblins and precisely regarding Celtic mythology. I was drawn to the idea of the world in this book that set up creatures I haven’t been introduced to until now. It was an interesting read all in all. I’d love to have Teagan as a sister. She ensures that Aiden, her little brother is always out of harm’s way. Aiden on the other hand, is my favorite character. He speaks like a grown-up and is totally adorable. He loves music, remembers everything and is afraid of Elvis Impersonators. :D Finn is the Mac Cumhaill that is ordained to fight the goblinkind in the present time. Oh, boy. He’s an Irish accent, a warrior blood, and a hot bod. Need I say more??

There are things that I find lacking and flat though. The things that happened in the first half of the book came almost too fast. Teagan’s mother died and there are times that I feel like it didn’t happen. I thought Gabby-Crabby- I mean Abby, would play a much bigger role, but didn’t. And the romance! Although there is, I was slightly disappointed to find little. Sorry, I was just waiting for the first kiss. I still enjoyed it however. The part three of the book was action-packed that I was lost track of time. I kinda blame it that I didn’t get to study for the exam the next day!

This is a very good start for a series. Can’t wait to have another dose of that sexy Irish again.

Archangel’s Kiss (Guild Hunter #2) by Nalini Singh

Published February 1st, 2010

My rating: 5/5

From Goodreads: Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux wakes from a year-long coma to find herself changed—an angel with wings the colors of midnight and dawn—but her fragile body needs time to heal before she can take flight. Her lover, the stunningly dangerous archangel Raphael, is used to being in control—even when it comes to the woman he considers his own. But Elena has never done well with authority…

They’ve barely begun to understand each other when Raphael receives an invitation to a ball from the archangel Lijuan. To refuse would be a sign of fatal weakness, so Raphael must ready Elena for the flight to Beijing—and to the nightmare that awaits them there. Ancient and without conscience, Lijuan holds a power that lies with the dead. And she has organized the most perfect and most vicious of welcomes for Elena…

My thoughts: Archangels’ Kiss is not appropriate for my age but I loved it nonetheless. There was never a dull moment that it made me read even when I’m with my friends (that’s huge for us ‘cause we never stop talking). Nalini Singh fully developed Elena and Raphael as well as the minor characters. Every single one completely diverse. Not all of the Seven -as far as I remember- were introduced in the first book. I finally got to know more of them, and especially liked Illium and Jason.

The world that Ms. Singh brought up to us is truly fascinating.
I can’t wait to get my hands on Archangels’ Consort. I don’t mind the sexual content at all (although my mom will definitely go nuts once she finds out that I’m reading PNR books).
