It has taken my long enough...

It has been a long time since my last blog post. I have been able to read but I haven't been devouring books with my usual gusto. I am not exactly sure as to why this is. O well, let's move on to the books that I have read over the last month.

The four books I have read are:

1. sTORItelling by Tori Spelling
2. Dance with the Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon
3. Witch and Wizard: The Gift by James Patterson
4. The Pawn by Steven James

We can start with book number 1. And I already know what you are thinking, "Tori Spelling? Really? And you read the whole thing?" YES! YES I DID! And I enjoyed it. Books are supposed to be a way to go into another world, to participate in something that you never would have been able to participate in throughout your normal life, so what better way to do that than to read about someone else's crazy far-fetched life? Ms. Spelling is able to bring you into the crazy parties, dinners, and sounds studios of her life growing up. Her story is an interesting fast paced story. I highly recommend this novel.

Dance with the Devil is just like the other two Kenyon books that I have reviewed in the last few months. There are vampires and sex. Enough said. Luckily for this 20 book series, this novel contained more plot! We are able to learn more about Archeron and his magic powers, and the hierarchy of the Dark Hunters. But the unveiling of Zarek as a caring and loving character is very reminiscent of Zadist in J.R. Ward's Blackdagger Brotherhood. And I loved Zadist. Zarek is like a sloppy Zadist wannabe.

I always sound so glass half empty in my blog! Oh well.

The Gift is the second book in the Witch and Wizard series. The novels are such fast-paced exhilarating reads! I love these books. Whitford and Wisteria, the story's main characters, are the smart ass kids everyone wishes they could be while growing up. And add their magical powers and good looks into the mix and you have two characters who the reader instantly feels a bond with. The story involves a new world order in which everything that was ever loved is banned. Wisty and Whit have to fight, along with many other kids, to free the world from "The One who is the One". Their fight is something you won't ever forget.

Since there are already two books in this series, I strongly recommend reading them in order, otherwise you will be lost! Also try to read them as closely together as possible. I forget some key aspects of the story during the year it took for the second book to be released. These books can be a wonderful addition to any household library, and they can be loved by your children as well.

I will review The Pawn in a few days when I am also able to review The Rook, the second book in the Patrick Bower's series.
