Lovely Vicious by Sara Wolf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The cover was what intrigued me initially. The story however blew me away. Utterly and completely threw me. 

Definitely didn't see that one coming when I started it. Now let me make this clear for you, this is by no means your average teen romance. Nope. So if you're expecting sappy, sugary sweet romance, then this isn't the book for you. However, if you're keen on mystery, suspense and intrigue topped off with the most brilliant kinds of humour, what are you waiting for!? Lovely Vicious will knock your socks off. 


There a so many different layers of darkness and solid ice that surround both of the main characters and I absolutely loved. Devoured it. I couldn't put it down and went through a serious phase of book mourning after I turned the last page. IT CANT BE OVER. NO. NO IT CANT BE.

But it was and I had to deal with waiting for the second one. Absolute torture. 

The suspense and the cloud of mystery revolving around Jack Hunter nearly killed me, I have to admit and I wasn't particularly fond of his 'extra curricular activities' at the beginning, but man, how quickly things can change. Finding out the truth about him (or half as far as the first book goes) hit me like two tons of bricks, maybe add the obligatory piano that typically falls on someones head in one of those old cartoons. Does that paint a good enough picture for you?

I'm still trying to find accurate terminology to describe just how much I loved Isis, by Merlin. I adored her. Wanted to be her. Wanted to hug her and most of all wanted a friend just like her. Her character was so well built and I loved her snark. Isis Blake, you are my hero.


Hats off to Sara!

Book talk - Review of This Charming Man By C.K. McDonnell

By BookblogBuzz
  V ampires do not exist. Everyone knows this. So it's particularly annoying when they start popping up around Manchester . Nobody is pleased about it. Not the Founders, the secret organisation for whom vampires were invented as an allegory, nor the Folk, the magical people hidden in plain sight who only want a quiet life. And definitely not the people of Manchester, because there is nothing more irksome than being murdered by an allegory run amok. Somebody needs to sort this out fast before all Hell really breaks loose - step forward the staff of The Stranger Times. It's not like they don't have enough to be dealing with. Assistant Editor Hannah has come back from getting messily divorced to discover that someone is trying to kidnap a member of their staff and while editor Vincent Banecroft would be delighted to see the back of any of his team, he doesn't like people touching his stuff - it's the principle of the thing. Throw in a precarious plumbing situation, gam...
