What is up with making YA paranormal books into movies? Everybody is pretty much trying to ride on the Twilight wave. It bugs me a bit because most people are just trying to make money out of our poor fan hearts, but I am so freaking happy for the authors and as a fan in general really. I think it's great!!! Congratulations Kiersten!

Now, what do you think? Have you read Paranormalcy? You should if you haven't. Here's my review on the book. Go, read Paranormalcy and fall in love.



The Hunger Games Movie News: More pictures of Katniss, Peeta and Gale on the set.

More pictures of our three favorite actors on set!

I cannot wait for this movie to come out, it seems like it's going to be good,

Hopefully they won't censor too much, I know it has kids killing kids,

but we the fans really want to see all the gory details.

Katniss/ Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games Set.

Peeta/ Josh Hutcherson being all sexy and dirty... and stuff.

Gale/ Liam Hemsworth at the reaping.

Oh Gale, you really make me swoon <3

Gale is looking fiiine, and Peeta is okay. It's just I like tall lean men, not short and bulked up. So Gale is the one that makes me swoon, even though I am Team Peeta. Katniss looks awesome! Can't believe I EVER doubted Jennifer Lawrence (or for that fact the make up people behind the set, I don't know your guys's names but YOU ROCK MY SOCKS!)

And for those of you who missed my first post with the picture of Katniss and Gale on the forest, and Peeta by the bakery you can click here and see them all for yourself!

Review: Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead

Title: Succubus on Top 
Author: Richelle Mead
Series: Georgina Kincaid
Book #: 2
Pages: 314
Reading Level: Adult
Book Rating: .3
Published: Jan 1st, 2008

Georgina Kincaid's job sucks. Literally.


Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy, incredibly gifted Seattle writer she's been dating, she'll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus-a demon who draws her power from other men's pleasure. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can't get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.

It's not just her personal life that's in chaos. Doug, Georgina's co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out, but Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star-and giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one-and fast because soon, Doug's life won't be the only one on the line.

Taschima's POV:

The thing about these books is that you never expect to have such a good time. I picked up the first book because I wanted more books by Richelle (big fan of Vampire Academy) and I liked the first one very much, but after I put it down I quickly picked up another book. There was no thinking about it long after it ended, running to the library to get the second. So these are the kind of books you really enjoy while reading, but they do not join your top favorites. Well, I picked up the second books months after I read the first one, and I had forgotten just how much fun I could have while swimming in the flames of Georgina's world.

Georgina in this installment is still going out with Seth (though not sleeping with him because that could have dire consequences), working at her job, going out with her friends and sleeping with good guys so she can steal years from their lives and give points to the bad side of the force. Normal Succubus stuff. But then things start happening. An old friend comes back to her life and her co worker is acting pretty strange (maybe diabolically strange?). The things Georgina will have to overcome in this novel will give you the thrill of a lifetime.

So yeah, this is the second book in the series. It had some good and bad things. Good things is that is still as enjoyable as ever! The characters are great, the scenes are steamy (not for kids) and some new mythology is introduced. It's a very entertaining book all in all.

The bad thing is the plot created no urgency, the way the "bad" guy was taken care off so easily was laughable, and the plotlines in the book felt unrelated. It's like you have this thing happening over here, some other things happening over there, and oh my god did I not mention this plot line hidden right under the covers? This may certainly discourage some people with going through the novel. But not me (obviously). I mean, the way these stories are written it's not about the ultimate end between the war of good and evil, it's about the ultimate end of Georgina's soul. So we go through her life, we step into her shoes, we wear her skin. As you read the novel you feel very connected to the main character and well, you might even overlook the annoying small flaws (I did).

The introduction of the old friend is very refreshing. It gives you a taste of what Georgina's past life was like at times, plus this new character is so hot (bonus points). Seth is well Seth. The eternal doormat as it is. But, I mean, he has this quality to him, this quiet nerdy quality that you just have to love. There's a big obstacle in Seth and Georgina's relationship that wasn't there before in this book, an obstacle for which Georgina is responsible for and which I am not really happy with her for doing it, and you just have to see how it ends up.

Will be buying the third book very soon!

Cover Revealed: Destined by PC Cast (House of Night Fans!)

I myself may not be a House of Night fan anymore, but I keep up with the news. The latest being the cover reveal of the next House Of Night novel, Destined.

Goodreads

Hardcover, 336 pages

Expected publication: October 25th 2011 by St. Martin's Griffin

In case you were wondering this is the 9th novel of The House of Night. You read me correctly, ninth if you don't count Dragon's Novella. As always a very alluring cover, but what is to be expected from the people who hit the jackpot with their cover designer? I am assuming this is Kalona (because of the "devil" shadow in the back). He looks like the type of guy you would find in romance novels covers. Attractive, almost too good to be true.

**Edit: It seems this is not Kalona, but Heath? O.o What the hell, Heath? When did you become so foxy borderlining on Playboy? His new name is Aurox or something, damn I am lost when it comes to this series, time to flip through the last book again...

I like it just fine, but now the real question here is, do you?

Teaser Tuesday: The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross

The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles #1)

by Kady Cross

Goodreads

Hardcover, 473 pages

Published May 24th 2011 by Harlequin Teen

"She could feel blood trickling from her mouth and she wiped at it with the back of her hand. Vision finally clear, she saw that Lord Felix had also removed his waistcoat and was now rolling up his sleeves. The excited glint in his eye told Finley exactly what kind of lesson he intended her to "learn"...

...But Lord Felix August-Raynes was not a good man. And it was time someone taught him a lesson.

The warm rush of familiar power brought a smile to her battered lips. She gave up all attemps to keep it reined in. It was the only way she'd survive this night with her virtue and bones intact. It was as though she was watching herself from a perch on the ceiling- all she could do was observe as her other self took over. Her boots shifted on the bare floor, right foot forward, left foot back and pointed out. She raised her fists.

"Coming back for more, eh?" Felix grinned at her. "I like a little fight in my girls."

She grinned at him, causing blood to dribble down her chin. "Then you're going to love me." 

I like this girl! She is so inproper and kick ass for her time. I mean when you read the book it's clear she is from the 1800s, but she also has a kick ass heroine attitude to her that is very 21st century. She won't let the Lord of the house beat her up and rape her, and every other one who has ever tried to take advantage of her has payed the price (not murder, but a heavy beat up). Since the beginning of the novel the character and the set up pulled me in. It's a very interesting book! Anybody read this one lately?

Vampire Academy Movie News: Choosing the Actors/Actresses at Facebook (Rose Edition)

So at The Vampire Academy Official Facebook Page they are having this huge thing were each Monday they put up a poll and the fans get to choose which actor/actress they want to play their favoite characters. It's pretty amazing, and Ive been going at it for weeks (you know I have a pretty set opinion when it comes to casting) but it totally slipped my mind to let you know so you can vote! Don't worry, I would be mad at me too.

I'm going to one post per character they put on the poll (because if not the post would go on forever and I don't want that). You will get to see them here and go to the page and vote (you have to have a Facebook account and you have to technically 'like' the page).

Here it goes:

Now for Rose they made two different polls because they have SO many actresses to choose from, but there is one in each poll that is way ahead of the rest.

Full Name: Rosemarie Hathaway

Nicknames: Rose, Roza, Little Dhampir

Age: 17

Hair: Long dark brown, almost black

Eyes: Brown

Status: Dhampir

Molnija Marks: 2 plus a special tattoo for her part in the battle in Shadow Kiss

First Introduced In: Vampire Academy

First Poll:

Odette Yustman - 7,448

Phoebe Tonkin - 1,015

Minka Kelly - 690

(Dawn? Get out of here)

Michelle Trachtenberg - 581

Shay Mitchell - 393

Jessica Lowndes - 327

(GLEE)

Naya Rivera - 269

Second Poll:

(Hello Rose! So nice to see you)

Sophia Bush - 4,977

(My second choice should Sophia Bush fall down the stairs)

 Lindsy Fonseca - 1,722

(Aren't you from Vampire Diaries?)

Nina Dobrov - 1,248

Lucy Hale - 615

(No... no... no...)

Alexandra Daddario - 573

Victoria Justice - 420

 

Selena Gomez - 336

Elizabeth Gillies - 316

Christa B Allen - 157

(even she is scared of the possibilities)

Emilia Clark - 135

The thing about these polls is most people don't research the pictures of people they are voting for. They just see a famous name and go for it. But obviously some of these actresses are more fit for the role than others (Selena Gomez really? I mean I love this girl, but she is NOT Rose Hathaway). I went ahead and looked for pictures for you guys. I swear I choose ones that looked good, not being a complete biased person and making everyone but Sophia Bush look bad.

Who do you think should win the amazing role that is Rose Hathaway. She is the next Dhampire in the block, a great fighter and a fantastic best friend.

Choose well, VOTE HERE, and comment on this post letting me know who you voted for and why ^^

Cover VS Cover: Forgive My Fins and Lost Voices

I have these two different covers for Lost Voices and Forgive my Fins and both are pretty cool so I wanted to show them to you.

Goodreads

Hardcover, 293 pages

Published May 19th 2010

by Katherine Tegen Books

 You know what sucks about these two covers? There's no fins!! So that was a huge let down, but other than that I like the first cover more. Mostly because of the makeup and the pose of the model. I like how the girl is smiling in the second one, but nothing other than that.

Goodreads

Hardcover, 304 pages

Published July 4th 2011 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

 
  I love BOTH these covers!! It's such a hard choice for me. I mean, the first one looks awesome, and I like how the designer did the fin (See? This one doesn't even have FINS on their title and it still has find on their cover) but the second one looks like the mermaid is out to get you. I don't know, Im torn!! I think I'm going to choose the second one...
 
What about you? Which cover would you buy? Have you read these books? How were they?
