The weight of a whole new world lies on Ari’s shoulders. If you haven’t read Gravity, the first book in this blockbuster series, you can check out my review here. Looking for a fun Summer series that leaves you feeling like you just came out of an action-packed Sci-Fi film? Then search no more, because The Taking series by Melissa West fits the bill. In Hover (The Taking #2), we join Ari on her new […]

“Our race has a….collective consciousness, ” Ray explained. “It’s like a psychic Internet. All the knowledge, all the life experience, all the emotions of all of our people are there in the consciousness. When a young person reaches maturity, he or she is able to make the connection to the consciousness for the first time. This rite of passage is called the akino.” The Watcher is the most intense book yet in the Roswell High […]

This third book in the Roswell High series proves again that Melinda’s writing and story telling are just as good, if not better, than in the first book. Things start getting a little more crazy, even by Roswell standards in The Seeker, and we learn a lot about our favorite alien-hybrids. In this book, Isabel is still struggling to get over Nikolas’s untimely death in The Wild One, and Alex  provides the shoulder she needs […]

I really enjoyed The Wild One, book two in the Roswell High series. It basically picks up right where The Outsider left off, and we are introduced to a new character named Nickolas. Now, if you have watched the Roswell show and read the books before, you know that the Nickolas in Melinda’s book is very different from the one in the show. Just as our three alien-hybrids, Max, Michael, and Isabel, are getting comfortable […]

I was sucked in by the Gravitational pull of this awesome book cover. Humans are no longer alone in the universe. Aliens, known as the Ancients, helped Earth recover from near extinction decades ago, and the Ancients only needed one thing in return: To use humans as their own personal batteries.  Humans are each assigned their own Ancient, and are visited every night by these beings. The Ancients absorb vital nutrients without compromising their human’s […]

I have tried to keep this first post mostly spoiler free, but I can’t promise the same for the rest of the reviews in this series. I remember watching the Pilot of Roswell on television as if it were yesterday. The chemistry between the cast, and the way they played their characters felt true. I discovered the books after the show shot an arrow through my heart like cupid. I was a little nervous to […]

Saturday Night Shrine: Pepe Toth as Daemon Black

Saturday Night Shrine: Pepe Toth as Daemon Black

July 20, 2013 4 Comments Regina

Pepe Toth is OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD. When I was a little girl, the only alien I knew about or had a crush on was Alf. That furry little extraterrestrial stole my heart, and I still have my stuffed Alf doll. Now that I’m all grown up, I want my aliens to be hot and heroic. Alf still might be more height appropriate for me (*shrugs* I’m short), but I never want to imagine an alien as fuzzy […]

  As most of you guys know,  In the wee hours of Monday morning  the cover for the upcoming book in the  LUX series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, ORIGIN, was revealed across the blogosphere. This was the reaction by many females (Regina & myself included) when first glancing upon the newly revealed cover:     And of course, after we all recovered from the major swoonfest, this was what we all had to say:   […]

OH H-O-L-Y CRAP. So Obsession came out on Friday (5/31), but I was lucky enough to win an ARC from the Publisher the night before so I got an early start on my reading!! This book was a great way to hold us ADULT fans of the LUX series over until the release of Origin. When I found out that JLA was releasing an adult book from the LUX universe I got super excited!! I […]

“Waiting on” Wednesday brought to you by: Breaking the Spine ———– These are two books that we cannot wait for. I do believe that they both take place in the same “universe”. The first book we can’t wait for is Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout. It is the 4th book in the Lux Series. The cover hasn’t been revealed yet, and neither has a description of the novel..but after the crazy, CRAZY cliffhanger at the […]
