The one with gargoyles and demons..

Young Adult
Rating:*****
   

  So I have to start off by saying I love Jennifer L. Armentrout. She is in one of my top favorite authors.

Gargoyles and Demons, awesome right? I would just love to pick Jennifer's brain because she is creative and is so original. Anyway I guess I should stop fangirling and tell you some about the book.

"People with the Purest souls are capable of the greatest evils. No one is perfect, no matter what they say they are or what side they fight for."

"He's the awesome Sauce with extra Sauce."

"You eat muffins?" "I figured you drank virgin blood, and ate cow hearts."

Layla is a 17 year old girl whom is half demon and half gargoyle. She was raised by the warden(gargoyle race) who protect the humans and keep them blind from the existence of demons. Because of Layla's heritage she was born with special abilities and she is not allowed to kiss anyone with a soul, without sucking out their soul.  Which kind of makes your life lonely when you cant get close to anyone. Layla was raised with her oh so hot best friend Zayne. Zayne is like the protective older brother.

Layla's life is going as normal as it can be until she meets the tattooed bad boy,swoon-worthy upper-level demon,Roth. He has a huge snake tattoo he has named Bambi. Roth plays "devils advocate" and causes Layla to question where her loyalties lie. 

Should she give in her to demon side or trust her family? 

There is a prequel novella before this book and I recommend you read because its just as awesome!


*Every time you hear Paradise City you will think of Roth, you will know why once your read the book*








Autumn Rose by Abigail .Gibbs

Autumn Rose by Abigail Gibbs
Rating: ****





"Dwelling on what has and will come to pass is as good as kicking the stool from beneath the future." 

Autumn Rose is the second Dark Heroine Novel and the sequel to Dinner With a Vampire. I have to say Autumn Rose is much more lighthearted read compared to Dinner With a Vampire with Violet Lee.



Autumn is like any normal teenager except she is a Sage duchess and has special powers. Autumn attends a normal school with humans and is the guardian of her school charged with  protecting humans from the extermino. Of course nobody knows Autumn's true identity, as a duchy. Autumn leads a common life with an after school job, and is often bullied at school.  After recent attacks Fallon(the lovely prince charming)  enrolls at Autumns high school. 

Autumn struggles with her beloved grandmother's death, which is an important element in the story, but secrets are revealed which causes Autumn to embrace her destiny.

I'm looking forward to the next Dark Heroine novel.



This is my Fallon...

Dinner With A Vampire-The Dark Heroine #1 by Abigail Glines




Category:YA/NA
Rating: 4 out of my stars

                                Okay where to start. I was rather impressed to see such a young author write a dark novel such as this one. I found this book to rather intriguing and it kept me up past my bedtime to say the least. I'm not going to give the whole story, just some of  my thoughts. 

Can we make a drinking game for every time Violet cries. She was so whiny and I just wanted to slap her the face throughout the duration of this novel.


The giant squid totally freaked me out....

I liked Fabian at first and thought he was sweet, but wowzers he turned into a total douche.

.Thyme was just totally creepy right...

Did anybody else wander why Kaspar turned Annie?? 

Oh Kaspar, you are one sick man, but I kind of understand the whole no humanity, blood sucker attitude. 

It was totally bad ass when Violet kicked her ex Joel's ass (one of the actual moments I enjoyed her character)

Lyla had a lot of nerve calling Violet a slut...the whole fun house orgy was so gross.

What was up with Cain's obsession with Violet's sister? I kind of wanted something to happen with the two.

That is just my thoughts for now, looking forward to reading the next book Autumn Rose.
