Lauren Kate: 'Fallen series'

Hey guys,

Yes, it's been a while since I posted, my bad! I've been reading loads so hopefully will be posting more.

Anywho, my cousin had a clear out of books recently and of-course I had to get them. I read Lauren Kate's series over last week. I have to say I liked them.

They were a bit a of a slow starter but the story behind them is very good and makes a lot of sense when everything is revealed at the end.

In the first book we meet 'Luce', Lucinda Price who has arrived at Sword & Cross Reform School after being accused of causing a fire in which a boy died. Once she's there we're introduced to many key characters including, Cam, Molly, Arriane, Penn and most important Daniel.

Luce is drawn to Daniel as soon as she see's him. The first book mostly follows the love triangle between Luce, Daniel and Cam. Towards the end we discover Daniel and most of the 'students' at Sword & Cross are actually fallen angels and that Luce and Daniel are destined to be together.

Daniel can't tell Luce anything about their past, it's something that Luce must find out for herself.  Since the beginning of time Luce and Daniel have been together in different lifetimes however, Luce only lives for a maximum of 17 years per life cycle and dies as soon as her and Daniel get together.

The other novels follow Luce's quest to find out more about her past to try and break the curse so her and Daniel may have a future together.

With plenty of twists and turns this series in perfect to sink your teeth into. It is a bit slow at the start but it is worth the weight; it also can be frustrating at times although I think this is what Kate intended. Luce gets frustrated with Daniel because he can't tell her anything about the past and as the reader I got frustrated along with her.

All in all it's a great series, and there's really something for everyone. With snippets of the past; there is history, love, scandal, drama, a chance to learn something and it's really interesting.

If you read them, let me know! Hope you enjoy!

Jane Casey: Maeve Kerrigan Series

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I've just finished my Journalism course, (exam wise anyway) I'm just waiting on results. Ahhhhh.. As a wee treat to myself and much to Scott's dismay I bought myself the rest of Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan books, including the newest one. Thought I might as well as I loved The Kill which is the 5th book in the series, if memory serves me right and I got so invested in the characters I just had to know more about them. Beginning with The Burning which is roughly about a nasty serial killer targeting young women. His trademark is the fact he then burns his victims making identifying them and him more difficult. The 'first' one we come across as a live crime scene is one that they are not sure if this victim was murdered by the Burning Man. This leads Maeve down a different route trying to discover if this victim is one of the serial killers victims OR if its an entirely different case entirely. In this book we see the bir...

Katerina Diamond: The Teacher

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. Yeah I suck at regular posts but I'm getting there. Recently it's hard to find the time to read, awk well. I'll get there! Very happy with this book haul. Thank you Amazon! I've even another batch ordered and hopefully will be delivered this week! Can't wait. It really is the simple things in life. I usually pick books either on reviews or from the suggestion section on Amazon. And this is what I've based my last couple of book buys on.  Can honestly say this book was a lot darker than I was expecting. I thought from the description that it was about a suicide and the events that lead up to it. However, that's really not what the book it about. It's told from about three perspectives, Abbey, Parker and DS Adrian Miles.  Abbeys' story is told through flashbacks to her past and her work life, Parker is a new intern at the museum where Abbey works and DS Miles is one of the detectives on the case of the...

Catherine King: Her mother's secret

Hey guys, another post so soon? I know I'm spoiling you ;) Finally got my mojo back and it's nice to be writing again. This book was given to me by my mommabear. It's more her type of book, I'm funny when I see certain covers, no idea why just am. I think it's probably because I know they're my mums type of book if that makes any sense? This book is actually really good. It's got love, scandal, social hierarchy and for a while we're concerned the past is doomed to repeat itself. The story begins with a scene from the past, Ruth Hargreaves is a beautiful, young woman ready for her first party with the upper class. The master of the house takes a fancy to her and forces himself upon her. This however, is not the worst betrayal of Ruth's trust. Her father, Seth makes a deal with Lord Laughton in which he forced Ruth to be his mistress in exchange for a higher position within the Laughton household. There is more to it here, but I'll let you fi...
