Book Review #2 - Nightshade

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

Summary (On back of book):
She risked her life to save his, believing she would never see him again. But he has returned, challenging her destiny as Alpha wolf, leaving her doubting her past and fearing her future...

This book is actually one of my favorites. She began by emerging straight into some action, interesting you from the get-go. It's not too much, but it keeps you reading, enough for her to set up the story and its characters without boring you. Once she has everything out on the table, she starts to form her story line, consisting of whether she is fighting on the right side, as well as an awesome love triangle between her betrothed and a human.

Bottom Line: Read it.

Book Review #1 - Abandon

Geez, I haven't blogged in forever. Well I'm back now! I decided to use my blog as a book review instead of going on Goodreads or a bookstore website. I might still review on those as well, but I think I would much rather use my blog, instead of a website that will limit how much I can write. I may even do book reviews on Youtube. So this is my shot at a book review. If anybody is reading this, tell me how I did!

#1. Abandon by Meg Cabot
I really enjoyed this book. Its set on a small island called Isla Huesos, following a seventeen year-old girl who died. In the "Underworld" (I'm not so sure that was the Underworld, but it will have to do) she meets a guy named John, who tells her she has died and that she is to stay with him. She doesn't react well to that, and ends up running through a door that takes her back to her body. Then her story continues with a series of other events having to do with the fact that she died and met John.
The first few pages are a little slow, but once you get past that, you won't be able to put it down. I especially liked how Meg left every character a mystery except for the main character (Pierce) an her grandmother.
All in all, the book was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Greek Mythology (the book was inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone). It is definitely in my favorites.
