Book 17 - Kissed By An Angel

I have a thing for books with angels in them - well only if they are good - and this one sure fits the great list!!

Despite having been written several years ago it is still relate-able to today - just no cell phones, but then again the story doesn't really need it.

I loved Ivy and Tristen's love story and even had a tear in my eye at a few pages!

The twists and turns kept coming, swaying me to think one thing only to be knocked and swayed another way.

This book is the kind of ambiguous as to what genre it fits. Some sections fit into young adult with topics and scenes not fitting for a younger audience while other sections are very much simplified and becomes almost childish.

Despite that this book was a page turner and to say it was tice the size and thickness that the book I read before this I seemed to finish Kissed by an Angel quicker!

Because of that and the story and the fact I couldn't put it down, this book gets a 4.5/5 from me!

I think the next book will be the 7th book in the Vampire Diaries series - Midnight

Book 16 - Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove

I loved Lauren Kate's Fallen series (am currently waiting with baited breath for number 3:- Passion), so when I found there was a book that started off Lauren Kate's career I jumped at the chance to read it!!

The writing style is quite different to the Fallen books, not though it makes it bad, just different.

However, I really disliked the Natalie character, very shallow, very snobbish and not what a main character is usually like. This didn't make me dislike the book and in fact it made me want to read more so I could find out what happens to her.

For what ever reason when I was reading this book I felt an awful lot of deja vu! I couldn't shake the feeling that I had read this book before, which is completely silly as I am 100% sure I have never laid eyes on this book in my life (until now anyway)! Despite that I couldn't help but know what was going to happen and even "knew" the ending before it happened. I either have read this book and completely forgotten or I am getting really good at predicting stories and their endings!

I did finish this book quite quickly - having started it sunday night and finishing tuesday afternoon (I didn't read non stop as I work 8.5 hours a day) and as much as I enjoyed the book it won't be going on my "I can re-read this book countless times" list.

So I give this book a 3.5/5

I think I will read Kissed By an Angel next, looks big and has about 700 pages in so should keep me busy for a while!

It's Mother's Day

So that means .....


..... Yes you got it!!! More books!!!

I can be fairly easy to buy for - have a list of all the books I want and when they are out to buy helps too!!!

I got 5 in total - Love my little girl and hubby (OK I ordered them but the thought was there)!!

My Books!!



I have already started reading Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove - I haven't exactly given up on The Labyrinth but it's on hold for now, Betrayal is soooooo much better!!
