Book Review: Cold Blood

Cold Blood (Dirty Blood #2) 

by Heather Hildenbrand 

Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected. For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles. Unless they're kicking your butt in the process.

At least I've got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De'Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he's destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn't going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point's evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself, how did I end up here?

Cold Blood is Book 2 in the Dirty Blood series. To read more about the Dirty Blood series visit www.accendopress.com

Review

Being the new girl at a new school isn't easy but it's much worst when that students at this new school are all hunters. With an nurture & nature hatred towards werewolves.

Her mixed DNA that makes her a target . . .

Tara must learn everything about the hunter side of her  . . . whether she like it or not

Troubles are stirring but training is a kick in the butt for Tara.

Miles is still out there claiming there is a bigger plan in mind than what the hunters and werewolves should be worry about.

Can Tara prove herself worthy of being a hunter . . .

Or will something else take over? 

I give this a 4 Cat's Tails Up, Overall I like this book. I think there were something that could have made it even better however it was a nice setup and broad horizon to Tara's future training. Plus a NEW Guy to drool over. 

MEOW . . . MEOW . . . MEOW

Poor Tara,she has to make such an adjustment to normal school straight to academy training for elite hunters. It worst when she is called names because of her mixed blood, but what little do they do is the political influence her family name truly represent.

Logan and Cambria:

I love these two as a friend for Tara, she certainly needed one or two after all the criticizing Tara getting from the rest of the school. Some that were scared to be near Tara, some that were making jabs at Tara for her mixed blood but not Logan or Cambria, although it took Logan a while to warm up but Cambria was best friends on the the spot. 

Alex vs Wes

Okay I know Wes is Tara's boyfriend but with his lack of appearance in the book even though Tara is at a school. It showed that Wes is too conflicted with his duties and trying to maintain a relationship of a destiny that Vera saw that probably put him on edge.

Now ALEX he's hot like he's a hot character to read,at first I wasn't so sure about him until that first kiss THEN I knew something was up! Honestly I like Alex like really really LIKE, I actually hope that he would possibly be Tara's new beau just because there's chemistry between them and you can't deny chemistry.
His past is really tragic and I'm surprise that he would share something so personal to Tara and I wonder just how much he likes her despite her "DNA" that everyone judges her on.

KISS TALLY

Alex: 2 and 2 near kisses

Wes: 2

Really Heather? is that just a coincidence that there wasn't more kissing between Alex and Tara over Wes and Tara?

More Meowing Meow

I'm not sure how much political aspect that Heather will put in as far Tara's future in the series, but I hope that it's not too heavy to determine where she wants to stand. As far the new guy in the picture I say bring him on!

What will be the new threat that both Hunters and Werewolves need to worry about and once they figure it out, will it be too late?

Will Tara date Alex??????? 

What will Wes do . . .

Book Review: Wicked

Wicked (A Wicked Saga #1) 

By Jennifer L Armentrout 

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Something Wicked comes to New Orleans, 

The secret Order must do everything to protect the humans from otherworldly supernaturals but when the numbers of death within the Order increase it becomes a concern. 

Ivy wished she was a normal girl but she's not, she must fight to protect but would a new member of the Order drive her to distraction?

The clock is ticking, Ivy and Ren must quick be on their feet, find the gates and stop it from getting it open and they might have to face a few Faes and Ancients here and there.

I truly LOVE this book! There was a lot of Holy CATNIP moments in that book which means JLA have done her job right.

Can you hear me PURR really loud?
SassyCat's Books Review gives Wicked a PURRRFECT MEOWY  book

MEOW . . .  MEOW . . . MEOW 

This is the first book that I've read of 2015! and I'm glad I picked Wicked, holy catnip I'm almost done with it in two days! 

Ivy Morgan wishes that she was just an average college girl but she's not, she a part of an secret society call the Order. They protect the humans from supernatural beings nd hunt down the supernatural. Ivy been doing this for a few years now but the truth is her past still haunts her.

Ivy's night shift should have been just a regular stake and go but the Fae that she ran into wasn't an ordinary Fae, completely taken aback she knew that she was in more danger right at that very moment even when the Fae pulled a gun at her and was ready to shoot. Trying to get back to the Order before she bled out seems to be an impossible task but then before slipping into unconsciousness she saw the most beautiful green eyes she's ever saw.

Meet Ren Owens, the sexy green eyes guy that just transfer to New Orleans Order to help solve why so many members of the orders are being killed and what is stirring in New Orleans. Turns out Ren has his own little secrets to why he would be in New Orleans and what he's searching for. But the one thing he knows is that Ivy drive him madly crazy in love and he's willing to do anything to get that little taste of sweetness.

What I LOVE about Wicked is that both Ivy and Ren have the hots for each other right in the very beginning, there was that instant chemstriy. I love Ren's references in Disney girls although its a little odd that an young adult guy watches Disney movies and find all the princesses equally attractive.

Also Ren falls under my newly book boyfriend categories PUUURRRRR. 

Tink is another favorite of mine, I sort of want one but I would have to password protect everything and make sure that he doesn't hack into every account I own. I might get him to cut down on the sugar since he's too hyper anyway.

The characters are quite refreshing! And I love the fact that Wicked is NA which makes me a little bit more willing to dive into NA books but I'm still working on reading more NA.

So I'm ready for some more Wicked things to happen in New Orleans and especially after that little cliffhanger JLA have left us in the end of Wicked.  I wonder what will happen in TORN, will that little Cliffhanger be reveal or will something much darker come thy way into New Orleans.

Book Review: Foreplay

Foreplay (The Ivy Chronicles #1) by Sophie Jordan

Before she goes after the life she’s always wanted, she’s about to find the one she needs. 



Pepper has been hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother, Hunter, for like ever. He’s the key to everything she’s always craved: security, stability, family. But she needs Hunter to notice her as more than just a friend. Even though she’s kissed exactly one guy, she has just the plan to go from novice to rock star in the bedroom—take a few pointers from someone who knows what he’s doing.



Her college roommates have the perfect teacher in mind. But bartender Reece is nothing like the player Pepper expects. Yes, he’s beyond gorgeous, but he’s also dangerous, deep—with a troubled past. Soon what started as lessons in attraction are turning both their worlds around, and showing just what can happen when you go past foreplay and get to what’s real…

Review 

Sophie Jordan masters her first NA book, Pepper's life is all about finding herself but she want to be able to get the man of her dreams. She consider herself inexperience in some areas so her girlfriends takes her out clubbing to learn everything about hooking up. 

Although Pepper didn't think that the stranger that assist her with her car would be at the same bar.

Reece is that type where he's not looking for commitment and if someone really want sexual favors he just might do it but when he see the girl with the car problems, he wonders what's brings her to his bar? 

When Pepper approach him for an unusual request, he just might be willing to give this fling a chance.

When I read Foreplay I could see the characters really taking a ride of their life, by making their own personal goals and meeting their own wants and needs. In the end they made their ultimate decision, to be or not to be together.

I give this a 5 Cat's Tails Up!!! I really love the book as well the characters, Reece stole my heart from first read and reading him and Pepper together made me swoon for them.

MEOW . . . MEOW . . . MEOW

My thoughts on Foreplay, I knew that I wanted this book and that I needed to get my paws on it as well diving into the world of New Adult because oddly enough I haven't read very many and there are ton that I want to read.

Foreplay deals with Pepper who plan everything in life, she excels in her determination and her education the only thing that was missing was her dream man Hunter, who's a family friend of many years but the problem was that he was seeing somebody else.

Pepper spend her life pining for Hunter and has all these imagination about what her life would be like if she was with Hunter and even marry Hunter. But Pepper felt a little self-conscious about one little thing, having S-E-X  and what girl wouldn't if they haven't done it and being at a certain age where you believe that everyone around you does it.

So what does Pepper do? Well with a little push and shove, her girlfriends took her to a local bar for Pepper to scout out a guy with experience and have a little foreplay. I love the girlfriends that Pepper has otherwise Pepper's life would have been very boring.

Reece was as cute and hot as he sounded!!!! I fell for him right away, probably quicker that Pepper did because you know that there's something about him that makes him so mysterious that you want learn more of him and about him.

Yes I'm sure some could have saw that Pepper and Reece were growing together and I did too but I also knew that Pepper was hesitant because she thought she knew what she wants but then when she gets it, something is missing . . . the fire was missing.

The ending did not disappoint me and it was so sweet what Reece did! Foreplay was truly amazing and I can't wait for Tease. Bring it on New Adults books!!!!
