Title: Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) Author: Richelle Mead Publisher: Razorbill Release Date: August 25, 2009 Pages: 503, Paperback Goodreads Rating: 4.42 stars My Rating: 4/5 stars Summary from Goodreads: Rose Hathaway’s life will never be the same. The recent attack on St. Vladimir’s Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse.

Review: UnWholly (Unwind Trilogy #2) by Neal Shusterman

Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction All-Time Favorites, Reviews 2 ★★★★★

As the summary says, this is a sequel to the 2007 book, Unwind. If you haven’t read Unwind, run now to your nearest bookstore and see what you’ve been missing. It was an amazing book that Neal Shusterman originally planned as a stand-alone. But, here we are, five years later, and he decided that there was more to the story that needed to be told. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! What I love most about this series is the way that Shusterman tackles some very tough and controversial topics in a way that makes you stop and really examine all sides of the issue. The series explores a future in which the battle between pro-life extremists and pro-choice extremists has turned into a literal war. The final compromise that is made is outrageous and yet accepted by both sides – abortion is… Read more »

Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her. A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only “the Believers” know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all. MY TAKE I struggled with whether to… Read more »
