Golden Blood, Pure Blood, Black Blood by Melissa Pearl

Posted by bkristin on Jul 25th, 2013 in reviews | 0 comments Golden Blood, Black Blood, Pure Blood by Melissa Pearl   This was a great time travel series. Gemma is able to travel in time just like her family (mom, dad, brother, and sister) supposedly they use their power for good to save people along the way that need to be saved. They only make little ripples in time to do so, but Gemma is completely fooled into her way of life to realize that there is a lot more going on. As the series progresses Gemma has to realize the truth- which was very hard for her to accept. This was quite the adventure: time travel, finding love, loosing love, family deception,...

If I Should Die by Amy Plum and A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink

Posted by bkristin on Jul 18th, 2013 in reviews | 0 comments If I Should Die by Amy Plum Returning to a tale where you know the characters is always great. Vincent is gone and Kate is trying to rescue him. My kind of hero- don’t wait for the guy to save you. Action packed like the previous books- it kept moving quickly throughout. I kind of guessed the champion during a previous book and was correct when they finally figured it out. With people who die and reanimate it was no surprise to get the happily ever after ending to such a fun tale. A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink I don’t really read steam punk and this book was along those lines, so it took me...

Week’s Reads: Dragonfly Prophecy by Jacquelyn Castle and Wilde’s fire by Krystal Wade

Posted by bkristin on Jun 21st, 2013 in reviews | 0 comments Weeks Reads: Dragonfly Prophecy by Jacquelyn Castle I was just as lost as Lexi at the beginning and was wondering did she hear voices in her head, something paranormal or what. We soon got an answer and then more issues to resolve. Poor Lexi was stuck between two worlds. I was rooting for her to stay with her Aunt and Chase. Her parents had each other but her aunt only had her. And William- she just described him as too perfect. I never like the perfect male love interests. I like the more real ones like Chase (though even he was a bit unbelievable in power and status- at least he didn’t come off that...

Ramblings…..books as movies

Posted by bkristin on Jun 10th, 2013 in notes | 2 comments For the most part I have always been disappointed when they make books into movies. I actually didn’t read Harry Potter until I saw the movie and maybe that is better. See the movie first and then read the book. If you read the book first, you have ideas and characters in your own minds and nothing Hollywood can do will live up to it. Also there is always the CG affects that take away from the story- not done the best because most of what I read is fantasy and not realistically possible. I have seen all the Harry Potter movies and thought they did a good job of portraying the books (even if I...
