Thomas Galvin “Sire” review





Sire sucked me in from the first page.  It’s not another vampire love story with weak characters and happy endings. This story has strong characters, evil vampires with claws, blood, and humor.  Sire is a story about Caitlyn, a freshman in St. Troy University that never thought her world included vampires. She fights back when she gets kidnapped by an evil vamp, she fights for her friends when they get dragged into her mess, and ends up fighting for the one vampire she comes to have feelings for. For this book being Thomas Galvin’s first, I must say he did an excellent job writing and editing it. I could not put this book down, I read every word, never got lost or confused on the plot and he even left the end a cliffhanger! I hated that but it did leave me wanting more. I can’t wait to get my hands on book 2 of The Vampires of St. Troy. Thomas Galvin also does amazing and hilarious recaps for my favorite shows, The Vampire diaries, the secret Circle,and True Blood. Check him out on Twitter and his Website. You won't be disappointed!

Nicholas Sparks “The Lucky One” Review


“The Lucky One”

I am such a big fan of Nicholas Sparks writing, he brings such a beautiful story and wonderful characters to all his books. The Lucky One is about a US marine named Logan Thibault who finds a photograph of a woman in the dirt while on tour in Iraq. Since the day he put it in his pocket he has been a very lucky man, winning big in a poker game and surviving deadly attacks in the war. According to his friend, that picture is his lucky charm. Home from the war, Logan sets out on a long journey across country to find the woman in the picture. To his surprise he finds much more than just a woman in a picture, He finds life. Beth is a divorced single mom living with her grandmother in North Carolina. Lost on what her future holds, until a stranger walks into her life and shows her how to believe again. This story is about the surprising paths our lives take and the power of fate to lead us to true love. Must read story in my book! A+

John Green's "The Fault in our Stars" review


I just finished The fault in our stars, and WOW what a beautiful book about life, love and loss. The story is about a 16 year old girl named Hazel Grace Lancaster, who has been sickened with thyroid cancer. Her loving parents want her to get out and meet new people and not get stuck inside herself. They make her attend a church support group to talk and listen to others with cancer. There she meets Augustus Waters who lost his leg to cancer. He brings new life to Hazel and love. They go on a journey to find answers to Hazel's most wanted question, how does An Imperial Affliction by Dutch author Peter Van Houten end? I really enjoyed getting to know these two characters and I think you should too. It's such a wonderful, emotional story, with some added humor. I see a movie in its future.
