2.5/5: Review posted: Happily Ever After - Reads Gregori is a people person. He’s a marketer and he knows how to sell, including his image. This has never been more important to his people as it is right now. After a video showing that vamps do exist gets out, the Coven sends Gregori to meet with government officials, including the President, in the hopes of getting them to say that vamps do not exist. In return, the vamps will work with the government to protect humans…doing much of what they’ve already been doing in fighting against the Malcontents for years. When Gregori heads to Washington his interest is already high in the Presidents family because of Abigail, the daughter who has stayed completely out of the limelight. Theirs is a story of sparks flying at that first touch, and in this case it’s a simple handshake and they’re both instantly attracted. In order to gain the President’s favor in keeping the vampires secret, once he finds out about the powers a vampire has, including teleportation, the President makes a new offer. Help his daughter Abigail retrieve rare plants halfway around the world and they’ll consider it a done deal. Abby’s a scientist and her mother’s health is failing. She believes that with the help of those plants, she can create a way to help her mother recover. The plot was pretty straight forward, Gregori, Abby and a select group of vamps and shifters head out on their trip to get these plants, and of course things don’t go as planned. They run into a small village of people who are following the orders of another Master and a Demon. The plot wasn’t all that intense, but this series is more about the fun, less about the action/violence. There have been casualties along the way, and the vamps do face the threat with each book of becoming known to all humans, but this book in particular, felt very light. The romance was easy going, easy to happen, very little angst at the end. The plot didn’t really advance any main storylines forward. We do get a little bit of the fallout between Sean and his wife – but it’s a very small scene and their issues took place off the page. Gregori and Abby had nice banter and Gregori was out to prove that he wasn’t the playboy every made him out to be. He struggles to be the most human of the vamps in a way. He’s never bitten a human and wants to keep it that way. He touched a rose that was growing on the vine close by. “When I woke up Undead, I asked if I could ever be mortal again, and they said it was impossible.” A tear rolled down her cheek. He plucked the rose. “It is possible now. Roman figured out a way, but I don’t have any samples of my mortal blood. My mother burned the bloody clothes I was wearing when I was attacked.” He pinched a thorn off the rose stem and tossed it outside into the flowerbed. “So for me, it’s impossible. You can see why I dislike that word.” He turned and held the rose out to her. “Why can’t you be possible?” Her heart cracked. How could she hurt him when she was falling in love with him? Fans of the Love at Stake Series will enjoy Gregori’s story, but overall I found it to be just a little lacking. The romance, while they had great banter and a few nicely hot scenes, felt rushed and when the relationship is between a vampire who can live forever and a human who can’t…I want to know how they’re going to deal with it. Will she consider turning at some point, will he want to meet his death with her when her time comes…these are things I like to know. It’s not a spoiler to say they get a happy ending, but I just needed more! Yes, they’re happy now, but I wanted more details, a little more depth and that’s overall what the book was lacking.

Another good book from Rick Riordin. This sequel to The Red Pyramid really improved on the original. There was a lot more humor, a little romance... I liked it.

My favorite version of the Bible - much clearer than KJV and closer to original texts. Explanatory information is also wonderful.

Beetle Boy (The Battle of the Beetles) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: M.G. Leonard

This is one of my favorite authors but I felt this book was not as good as his others. It ended too abruptly for me and the fantasy element seemed forced.

Tư Duy Tích Cực - Bạn Chính Là Những Gì Bạn Nghĩ (Kèm 1 CD) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Urban fantasy meets detective novel with a lil' third-world spice thrown in. The end feels a bit rushed, but it's a fantastic setting, with complicated characters.

I originally purchased this book because of the cover and in hopes it would be a good horror story. However, even though I did like the story as a whole, I was never scared or got any feeling of horror. Also about 3/4 of the way through I got bored with the story and had to put it down for awhile. Outside of that, the story was pretty good. I liked the characters (even the ones that annoyed me), the setting, and the world created was very imaginative and unique from anything I've previously read. I definitely recommend this book and will most likely be re-reading it in the future. Oh, and I was impressed that this was the author's debut novel. Very good.

I love cold case file stuff, but why pick these cases for the book? Not a lot of action, and not very enthralling. I guess it was effective in "de-glamorizing" the cold case world where it pretty much must be frustration at every turn.

Ăn Nằm Với Cô Đơn Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hải Văn

I lost my restraint and though I should be reading other things, fell a bit into this one... Really, really enjoyed this. It's considerably lighter in tone than the Inda books and far more of a Romance, though perhaps not as fluffy or Romance as the cover might suggest. It's also much more polished than the Senrid/C.J's First Notebook books, having been completed recently. And yet it's the latter books to which it's closest in some ways, as its two protagonists return to Sartorias-deles from this world, unlike the all-Sartorias-deles ones. Here, with the older characters from this world, there's a lovely play on fantasy books and films in this world and resonances in that. It's just fascinating having all these different perspectives on the one world, through so many very different books. I liked both the main characters - Sasha and her mother Sun/Athanial (or should I say Sun and her daughter Sasha?!), pretty much equally, so didn't mind the alternating POV sections. I'm sure I'm nowhere near uniquely clever in having figured out one character's 'secret' pretty quickly, but that's not to say the book is less interesting because of that. The romance with comedy of manners elements isn't one I bore of when done with a light touch, as here. Finally, I think this one stands very well alone - that is, alone except for the sequel, which I'm eagerly awaiting! There are mentions of characters from the earlier, younger reader books, but knowing about them doesn't seem necessary to enjoy this at all.

Tớ Ham Học Hỏi - Con Nào Ở Nhà Nấy Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Alejandro Algarra

Tenga en cuenta que le doy a este libro una calificación baja en comparación con los otros libros de Vonnegut, y no refleja necesariamente mi opinión sobre él como un excelente trabajo de ficción. Realmente, en comparación con Cat's Cradle y The Sirens of Titan, este tema no se sostiene tan bien. Cuenta con un clásico escenario cómico del fin del mundo de Vonnegat, pero Slapstick simplemente no está a la altura del estándar establecido por sus novelas anteriores, y lo logró nuevamente con las posteriores. Creo que realmente no puedo ofrecer una mejor explicación. Leí en alguna parte que Vonnegut lo consideraba el más débil de su catálogo. Me inclino a estar de acuerdo con el viejo.
