Hallowed Circle (Persphone Alcmedi #2) by Linda Robertson

Hallowed Circle by Linda Robertson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Plenty of surprises in this one.



Seph gets nominated to compete in the Eximium to see who is the best for the High Priestess job that is now available. She really doesn't want to, but after she meets one of the other competitors, she decides to compete in order to knock her out of the running. This is no normal contest. There were some pretty crazy tests. It got pretty exciting.



Johnny and Seph also connect some more, and we learn a lot more about her new duties(?). Totally love Johnny. Yum yum.



The relationship between Menessos and Seph has gotten way more complicated. Can't wait to see what happens next.



Met some new witches that should be popping up again soon. They seem a little different. Hopefully, they'll be very good friends for Seph.



Some big stuff happened right at the end of the book. Should be some craziness going on in the next one.



Hoping to read the third book soon, since I really enjoyed this last one.

Top 5 Sundays (1) - Books for an Urban Fantasy Newbie

Top 5 Sundays is a weekly meme hosted by Larissa at Larissa's Bookish Life. I liked the topic of this Top 5, so I thought I'd do it even though I only have one follower. I guess this will just be kind of a list that I can look back on next year and see if they are still in my Top 5.  I would think they might change by next year, since I'll have read even more books by then. Yay!

Anyways..... On to my Top 5 Books for an Urban Fantasy Newbie

Some Girls Bite info page at Goodreads

If I picked a number 1 for this list, this series would be it. I love this series. Totally love Merit. She's the best. Book #4 is out in May! I can't wait!

 You Slay Me info page at Goodreads

There's four books in the Aisling Grey: Guardian series. Aisling is awesome. She gets into soo much trouble sometimes, but most of the time it is completely hilarious. These books had me giggling a lot.

Vicious Circle info page at Goodreads 

 

I'm almost done with the second book of this series. I love Persephone. She's really strong and determined even though she has all the new responsibilities popping up in her life.

Moon Called info page at Goodreads

Mercy is a tough chick. She's a mechanic and hangs with werewolves. She's a great heroine.

Dead Girls Are Easy info page at Goodreads

I've only read this first book of the Nicki Styx series, but I liked it. Poor girl nearly dies, and because of it, she can now see ghosts. It's gonna take some getting used to. I plan to continue with the series as soon as I get a chance.

And that's my Top 5. It was kind of fun. Maybe I'll have to do it again.

Playing With Fire (Silver Dragons #1) by Katie MacAlister

Playing With Fire by Katie MacAlister

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved it! I was sooo excited to see Aisling and most of the gang from the Aisling Grey: Guardian series.



This book was definitely different from how the other series was. Aisling initially fought a lot with Drake about the mating and other things. May didn't really have too many problems with it (I guess I should say she didn't have to many problems with the mating YET. There are still more books to come.) Plus, Gabriel is nowhere near as crazy controlling like Drake. It was nice to get to know Gabriel better. He's sweet.



This book cracks me up like the Aisling Grey: Guardian series did. I'm going to have to fit the second book into my list of what I want to read next. Can't wait! :-D

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy #6) by Richelle Mead

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was jaw dropping for me. I swear my mouth was probably hanging open half the time I was reading this book. It was sooo awesome!!!





What I'm going to say next could be considered spoilerish, and I don't want to ruin the story ahead of time for anyone, but I'm not completely sure, so here's your warning.....





For the other books, I kind of knew where things were going in them. In this one, I soo did not see things coming. I was completely shocked when I found out who the illegitimate Dragomir child was. I also totally did not know who it was that actually killed Queen Tatiana. My mouth was hanging open for a good while at that.



Now I can't wait for to come out. I want to know more about some of the other characters.



In the mean time, I think I'm going to have to find time to check out some of Richelle Mead's other series.



Her Dark Swan series



and



her Georgina Kincaid series

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy #5) by Richelle Mead

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


FIVE STARS!!! These books just keep getting better and better!!! I was totally like O M G half the time I was reading this book. I was soo glad about some stuff that happened. Was left with a complete mystery at the end. Started reading Last Sacrifice right away. Super sad that it's the last one. I don't want it to end, but I bet it will be good.

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Craziness!!! Sooo good!!! It was cool seeing Rose go out by herself. Sooo many things went wrong for everyone. Very interesting. Loved the new characters that were introduced. Had to start Spirit Bound as soon as I was finished with this to find out what happened next.

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy #3) by Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved it! Can't believe it turned out the way that it did. Gah! Seriously! I was planning to read something completely different after I finished it, before I finished it. But when I finished it, I just had to read Blood Promise right away. Lol. I think I'm just gonna have to finish up the rest of the series after this. Plus, my brother already read the whole series, and he's been trying to spoil it for me. Eeep! Can't wait to find out what happens next.

Beastly by Alex Flinn

Beastly by Alex Flinn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Loved it! I really liked how she modernized Beauty and the Beast. The characters dealt with real life problems, but then there was also a new problem caused by magic. It was good.



The story had a good moral lesson too.



I plan to read these two other books by Alex Flinn.





I love happy endings..... :-D

Holy Smokes (Aisling Grey: Guardian #4) by Katie MacAlister

Holy Smokes by Katie MacAlister

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Really enjoyed this book. It was as good as the rest. Some of the problems that Aisling had at the end of the last one finally were resolved. I love her and Drake together. It's sooo sweet.



I wish there was a fifth book. I want to know about the baby. Plus, I know there is soo much more trouble Aisling could get into. I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
