Review: Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock

HEMLOCK by Kathleen Peacock
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books
Publication date: 5/8/2012
Pages: 416
Age range: 14 - 17 Years
Source: Bought
Mackenzie and Amy were best friends. Until Amy was brutally murdered. Since then, Mac's life has been turned upside down. She is being haunted by Amy in her dreams, and an extremist group called the Trackers has come to Mac's hometown of Hemlock to hunt down Amy's killer:

A white werewolf.

Lupine syndrome—also known as the werewolf virus—is on the rise across the country. Many of the infected try to hide their symptoms, but bloodlust is not easy to control.

Wanting desperately to put an end to her nightmares, Mac decides to investigate Amy's murder herself. She discovers secrets lurking in the shadows of Hemlock, secrets about Amy's boyfriend, Jason, her good pal Kyle, and especially her late best friend. Mac is thrown into a maelstrom of violence and betrayal that puts her life at risk.

Kathleen Peacock's thrilling novel is the first in the Hemlock trilogy, a spellbinding urban fantasy series filled with provocative questions about prejudice, trust, lies, and love.

Filled with mystery and heart pounding action, HEMLOCK will keep you turning the pages. I enjoyed every aspect of this book. This book is so different from many of the werewolf books that I’ve read. I ate up the whole trackers against the infected (Lupine syndrome) angle. The issues of prejudice in this book made this book more appealing in my eyes. No one was safe from suspicion – anyone could be infected.

The murder of Mac’s best friend Amy was full of unknowns and it was fascinating to read alongside Mac as she tried to solve Amy’s murder. There were so many surprises in this book that kept me guessing throughout. Peacock did a great job of shrouding this book in mystery with a good dose of gruesome.

I am curious to see what happens during the next installment as Mac continues her journey. If you’re looking for a werewolf mystery with a twist, I suggest giving HEMLOCK a try. Hopefully, you’ll be on pins and needles as you try to solve the murder of Mac’s best friend while receiving eye openers along the way.

Review: Taken by Storm by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

TAKEN BY STORM by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Publication date: 5/22/2012
Pages: 320
Age range: 12 years
Series: Raised by Wolves Series
Source: Bought
In the eye of a storm stands Bryn, the alpha of the Cedar Ridge werewolf pack. She is young. Female. Human. Physically weaker than any werewolf, she could never survive a battle with another alpha, the strongest, fiercest, and canniest of his pack.

Yet she cannot refuse a summons from the werewolf Senate. A rogue werewolf is attacking humans. The risk of exposure threatens to destroy pack life, and the center of the crisis is Cedar Ridge territory—her own lands.

Bryn has no choice but to attend the meeting, a gathering of the most powerful werewolves on the continent. The subject is the rogue wolf, but Bryn knows the other packs want what she has. Her territory. Her females. Her pack.

They want her death.

Werewolf law prevents the other alphas from making a direct attack. It also prevents her former alpha, the mysterious and powerful Callum, from coming to her aid. But it doesn’t prevent Bryn from knowing what she wants. To keep her lands. To protect her pack.

To survive.
Let me start off by saying that this has to be one of the best werewolf series that I've read. Barnes has an amazing talent when it comes to getting inside the characters' head and portraying every emotion where it resonates with the reader.

I can’t tell you how much I love strong heroines and Brynn is one of my favorites. This girl has been through it all. She handles everything that comes her way like the alpha that she is. In Brynn’s case, that doesn’t always mean that her decisions don’t have consequences. There were some major events in this book and let me tell you that on two occasions I balled my eyes off. I never saw it coming!

I would recommend this series to anyone whether you love weres/shape shifters or not. This series is ranked at the top of my list along with the best of the best. If you haven’t started this series, why wait? This is the perfect time to jump on board and enjoy a series that’s filled with a great cast of characters and some unbelievable action. You won’t be disappointed!

Review: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

CLOCKWORK PRINCE (Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry Books
Publication date: 12/6/2011
Pages: 528
Age range: 14 - 17 Years
Series Title: Infernal Devices Series
Source: Publisher (ARC)
The situation at the London Institute has never been more precarious. With Mortmain and his clockwork army still threatening, the Council wants to strip Charlotte of her power and hand the running of the Enclave over to the unscrupulous and power-hungry Benedict Lightwood.

In the hope of saving Charlotte and the Institute, Will, Jem, and Tessa set out to unravel the secrets of Mortmain's past—and discover unsettling Shadowhunter connections that hold the key not only to the enemy's motivations, but also to the secret of Tessa's identity. Tessa, already caught between the affections of Will and Jem, finds herself with another choice to make when she learns how the Shadowhunters helped make her a "monster." Will she turn from them to her brother, Nate, who has been begging her to join him at Mortmain's side? Where will her loyalties—and love—lie? Tessa alone can choose to save the Shadowhunters of London...or end them forever.

Fans of CLOCKWORK ANGEL will be thrown back into the wondrous world that is the Infernal Devices. In this installment, Clare pulls the reader deeper into the inner workings of Shadowhunter politics as Tessa, Will, Jem, and friends try to hunt down the illusive Magister. This series is so addictive – you don’t want to put it down!

This book broke my heart. All of these characters are fighting or yearning for something. I got to know each and every one of these characters on a deeper level. Clare continues to keep up in suspense as far as Tessa’s origins. But, we do get some shockers as the twists continue to throw you for a loop. Let me state again how much I adore love triangles. CLOCKWORK PRINCE had me twisted up all inside as Tessa tried to understand her feelings for Will and Jem. It’s a good one – that’s all I’m going to say on that!

It’s amazing that Clare can continue to craft these amazing books filled with lovable characters and great story telling. It always comes down to that last chapter/page. I always dread turning to the last page of these books. I never know what to expect because surely the wait is mind-boggling. I’ve fallen in love with these characters and I can’t wait to continue their journey in the next installment.

Waiting on Wednesday: UNLEASHED by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguié

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


UNLEASHED (Wolf Springs Chronicles #1) by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguié
Pub. Date: November 2011
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Format: Hardcover , 400pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Series: Wolf Spring Chronicles Series
Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie, the New York Times bestselling authors of the Wicked series, have created an entirely new trilogy with the passion of Twilight and the grandeur of Fallen. The Wolf Springs Chronicles introduces readers to a town of secrets and the new girl who's about to start believing in werewolves.

From the Hardcover edition.

I like the way the cover model's head is tilted up to the moon...well the fact that a guy is holding her helps too. I love the authors' Crusade Series and I can't wait to see what spin they put on werewolves. So this is my pick. What are you waiting for?

Review: Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

TRIAL BY FIRE by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Pub. Date: June 2011
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Format: Hardcover , 368pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Series: Raised by Wolves Series
Source: Publisher (ARC)
There can only be one alpha.

Bryn is finally settling into her position as alpha of the Cedar Ridge Pack—or at least, her own version of what it means to be alpha when you’re a human leading a band of werewolves. Then she finds a teenage boy bleeding on her front porch. Before collapsing, he tells her his name is Lucas, he’s a Were, and Bryn’s protection is his only hope.

But Lucas isn’t part of Bryn’s pack, and she has no right to claim another alpha’s Were. With threats—old and new—looming, and danger closing in from all sides, Bryn will have to accept what her guardian Callum knew all along. To be alpha, she will have to give in to her own animal instincts and become less human. And, she’s going to have to do it alone.

 Bryn faces both the costs, and the rewards, of love and loyalty, in this thrilling sequel to Raised by Wolves.
When it rains it pours has to be at the back of Bryn’s mind in this sequel of cat and mouse. TRIAL BY FIRE is full of mind games and deadly secrets. I thought Bryn had it hard in RAISED BY WOLVES, but she amazes me everything she’s faced with danger. This girl is a fighter right down to her very core. She’s on the fast track to becoming one of my favorite heroines.

I fell instantly in love with RAISED BY WOLVES and I wondered if TRIAL BY FIRE would match or surpass its intensity. I had no need to worry because this book continued to delve deeper into pack politics where one move could cost Bryn her life. I believe Barnes has created a realistic depiction of the hierarchy and life of werewolves, even so that I’ve started to care for the well-being of the characters. Her character development was spot on and I look forward to getting to know the characters even more.

If you are a lover of werewolves or even paranormal for that matter, this is one series I would highly recommend. You never know what you’re going to get out of this series and that’s one of the things I love most about this series – I’m always surprised. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Review: The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

THE LOST SAINT by Bree Despain
Pub. Date: December 2010
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Format: Hardcover , 416pp
Series: Dark Divine Series , #2
Source: Publisher
The non-stop sequel to The Dark Divine delivers an even hotter romance and more thrilling action than Bree Despain's first novel. Grace Divine made the ultimate sacrifice to cure Daniel Kalbi. She gave her soul to the wolf to save him and lost her beloved mother. When Grace receives a haunting phone call from Jude, she knows what she must do. She must become a Hound of Heaven. Desparate to find Jude, Grace befriends Talbot - a newcomer to town who promises her that he can help her be a hero. But as the two grow closer, the wolf grows in Grace, and her relationship with Daniel begins to crumble. Unaware of the dark path she is walking, Grace becomes prideful in her new abilities - not realizing that an old enemy has returned and deadly trap is about to be sprung. Readers, raveous for more Grace and Daniel, will be itching to sink their teeth into The Lost Saint.

I don't think I could have imagined what the sequel of one of the best shape-shifter books I've read would have in store for me. Despain pulled out all the stops in THE LOST SAINT, making this action-packed thriller an impeccable read. Let's just say I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it.

THE LOST SAINT introduces readers to new characters and a deadly foe. Grace manages to come into her own as she tries to balance her powers without the wolf taking over with some help from the mysterious and alluring Talbot. With all the secrets waiting to spill out, I felt like Grace - I didn't know who to trust as she continued her search for Jude. The dynamic duo that is Daniel and Grace continues to make my heart pound as these two try to find answers of their own.

Dark, dangerous, and downright delicious, THE LOST SAINT sunk its claws in and never let up. When I finished reading this book, all I could think of was "More Please!" This series has become one of my favorites and I'm excited to see what Despain has in store for her readers in the next installment, especially after the ending of this book.

Blog Tour: Entice by Carrie Jones

ENTICE (Need, #3) by Carrie Jones
Pub. Date: December 2010
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Format: Hardcover , 272pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Source: Publisher
Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla? And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't turned into just any pixie. . . She's Astley's queen.

ENTICE picks up where CAPTIVATE left off with Zara & friends attending the winter ball while patrolling for evil pixies who were freed by the pixie king, Frank. In this installment, Zara is adjusting to her new abilities. She's stronger, faster & her senses are sharper - All part of being a pixie queen. As exciting as those abilities sound, Zara has a lot on her plate. With kids continuing to come up missing in her town, Zara has plenty to worry about. On top of protecting the students in her town from the bad pixies, she's still trying to find out how to get to Valhalla to free Nick and unfortunately that's with the help of her new king Astley, whom Zara still doesn't trust fully. Plus, she has to deal with the possible fallout of her were grandmother finding out that she's a pixie now. What is a girl to do?

I enjoyed Zara's fierceness in this installment. She was kicking pixie butt left & right. She was determined to do whatever it took to keep her town safe while trying to save Nick, even though she still had doubts about being a pixie & who to trust. What I found interesting in this installment was how Nick wasn't a concern for me. I can only blame that on the Hotness that is Astley. Don't get me wrong now, I loved Nick in the earlier installments but Astley has this mysteriousness about him. Just like Zara, I didn't know what his motives were. I do love the whole regal persona he throws off. Plus, he seemed to sincerely care about Zara and put her needs and safety above all.

This installment took Zara through the ringer. Danger was always one step behind her and the ones she cared about. She had to face so much for one so young. But she stayed true to her character through it all. I’m curious to see what will happen in the next installment. Carrie Jones continues to pull me deeper into this series with her twists and turns. I’m just glad I can look forward to reading more about Zara and the gang.

Review: Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

NIGHTSHADE by Andrea Cremer
Pub. Date: October 2010
Publisher: Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated
Format: Hardcover, 528pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Source: Publisher
Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything— including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Cremer lured me into her world of magical creatures surrounded by danger, suspense, and romantic tension from the beginning to the end of this mesmerizing novel. There are some books that you just have a feeling about – you know you won’t be able to put the book down. NIGHTSHADE is one of those books. Cremer’s writing makes you feel like you’re right there with the characters. From the setting right down to the mysteries surrounding the characters, I was hooked!

The characters in this book are one of a kind. Normally when a book has so many characters you tend not to get a feel for each of the characters but Cremer managed to pull it off. These characters had plenty of depth. I loved the dynamics of each of the Packs. I was highly fascinated and curious about the hierarchy of the Keepers, Guardians, and Searchers. I didn’t know what to believe or who to trust. I wanted to know everything about them. This book kept me guessing. The pace of the book flowed effortlessly so that one minute I was at the beginning and the next I was at the end of the book. I didn’t want it to end.

Calla (Alpha of the Nightshades) is the type of heroine I love to read about. She’s strong and will do anything to protect the ones she loves. I was so torn at times when it came to her relationship woes and the pressures that were thrown at her to do what’s right for the sake of the Pack. I must admit that the two love interests are both hot tamales! I loved both of these guys. Ren is alpha of the Banes and he has that cocky confidence that I love but he also shows a sensitive side when it comes to protecting his pack. I loved that about him. Then there’s the new guy in town, Shay. He throws a wrench in the packs’ secret world. He’s not afraid to question them about what he believes is right. He got plenty of brownie points for standing up to the wolves. All of the secondary characters were a joy to read about. All in all I found myself torn between the two male leads which is crazy for me since I always have a favorite when it comes to love triangles.

NIGHTSHADE has become one of my favorite werewolf novels. It’s a bit on the mature side and I love that. Nothing is watered down and I love the sizzling attraction between the main characters. It’s HOT! There aren’t many books that I will reread but this is one that I wanted to reread as soon as I finished. It’s that good! I know the wait for WOLFSBANE is going to be eating at me. 2011 can’t get here fast enough!

Sensational 7 Q & A with Ivy Devlin (Author of Low Red Moon)!

Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to hang out with your favorite author(s)? In an attempt to get a better understanding of authors, my Sensational Seven Q & A takes a closer or more personal look at these authors to give you a glimpse of the personalities behind the writing of your favorite books.

“Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which, by birth and quality, is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise.” By Ralph Waldo Emerson



IVY DEVLIN is the pseudonym of  popular and critically acclaimed author of teen fiction. With Low Red Moon and the Ivy Devlin name, she makes her paranormal fiction debut. She lives in Virginia.

http://www.ivydevlin.com/

LOW RED MOON is in stores today!


If you were given a chance to travel back in time, what year or place would you go / Why?
I'd stay right here, actually--with Low Red Moon coming out (today!)
Life is pretty good!

Describe your novel in seven words or less?
Grief, loss, murder, love--and questions...

Please share with us about your favorite book and fictional crush to date?

I have too many books to ever name a favorite, and I've never had a fictional crush. (I should work on that!)

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play thelead role as you/ Why?
I have no idea, but someone who can act goofy and be shocked at how lucky they are--that could work!

If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be – please explain?
Someone Got Lucky--because I really did, and I'm grateful for it everyday.

How would you describe yourself/life in seven words?
As the risk of repeating myself: One lucky girl!


Thanks for stopping by Ivy!

Then Avery meets the new boy in school—Ben, mysterious and beautiful, with whom she feels a connection like nothing she's ever experienced. When Ben reveals he's a werewolf, Avery still trusts him—at first. Then she sees that sometimes his eyes flash inhuman silver. And she learns that she's not the only one who can't remember the night her parents died.

Review: Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

RAISED BY WOLVES by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Pub. Date: June 2010
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Format: Hardcover, 432pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two.

But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs.

But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped?
With so many werewolf books out right now, some of them are starting to blend in together. Barnes brings a refreshing take on the life of the pack and what it means to be a part of one. The fact that Bryn survived a werewolf attack and was taking in and raised by wolves makes this story so enticing. I could not put this book down!

For Bryn to be surrounded by nonhumans, whom are more superior than her with their strengths (hearing, speed, healing, and strength, long life span) - this girl will not be cowed. She's strong and feisty, and will do whatever to protect her own, even if her actions could be fatal (consequences be damned). I love Bryn's strength and how she pulled through under the circumstances. You have to be strong to deal with what she dealt with (her past and present). Ali, Bryn's adopted mother is one hell of a woman too! She would do anything to protect Bryn, even if it means putting Bryn above the pack. Then there's Chase, he's so protective of Bryn and considering the circumstances that brought him into Bryn's life, I couldn't help but go goo-eyed over him. Barnes created some unforgettable characters. I could immerse myself into her world over and over again. The whole pack dynamics was fascinating.

I know I will be reading more books by this author. If you are a fan of Patricia Briggs's Mercedes Thompson Series, then you will definitely enjoy Raised by Wolves. I can't wait to see what the next installment has in store for Bryn. This book was such a great read, I was still thinking about it long after I finished it. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Let me just tell ya, this book is freaking AWESOME!

Review: Jealousy by Lili St. Crow

JEALOUSY (Strange Angels Series #3) by Lili St. Crow
Pub. Date: July 2010
Publisher: Penguin Group (USA)
Format: Paperback, 288pp
Age Range: Young Adult
Series: Strange Angels Series, #3

It's a good thing Dru Anderson is fast. Because the sucker chasing her isn't slowing down--and he won't rest until he has tasted her blood and silenced her heart . . .

Dru's best friend, Graves, and her strange and handsome savior, Christophe, are ready to help her take on the ultimate evil. But will their battle for Dru's heart get in the way of her survival?

In this installment, we pick up where BETRAYALS left off as St. Crow takes readers deep into the world and history of the Nosferatu. Being the only girl in the Schola Prima, Dru tries to fit in among the Djamphir and Wulfen while trying to discover the enemy from within.

Dru's memories of her mom's murder plague her through constant nightmares. What will she uncover? Will she discover who set her mom up? These are the questions that kept running through my head as the story progressed.

Dru also picks up some additional allies and enemies in this installment. Like Dru says, what else is new? But don't fret, she has her fierce protector in Graves and Ash (remember him - The Broken?). Graves has really stepped up to the plate in this installment. He's got swagger and he also has that alpha thing going on. But, he's still a sweetheart when he's around Dru. Te-he. Confession? I kept wondering when I would get a taste of some apple pie (Christophe that is). Even though he was always in the back of Dru's head, it took quite a few chapters for him to make an appearance and I was quite scared of his chances with Dru slipping away. Can you tell that I'm team Christophe? Sorry Graves - you're like a brother to me.

The plot thickens and we get a taste of everything in this installment from tender moments up to knee-jerking, action-packed scenes. This installment is even better than its predecessors even though I wanted more of Christophe. Believe me, when he finally did appear, he more than filled up the pages. I'm just glad I got to see more of Dru *cough* I mean Christophe. His scenes in the previous installments have always been sparse. There are two more installments in this series. I can only hope they're as good as this installment. If you are new to this series - you don't know what you're missing!
