My mailbox didn't contain an abundance of books this week, but the few books I did receive were flippin' fantastic!!
Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
"It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn't been feeling quite right. She's having dark thoughts, behaving erratically, and worst of all...might be seeing ghosts. As Rose questions her sanity, new complications arise. Lissa has begun experimenting with her magic once more, their enemy Victor Dashkov might be set free, and Rose's forbidden relationship with Dimitri is starting to heat up again. But when a deadly threat no one saw coming changes their entire world, Rose must put her own life on the line--and choose between the two people she loves most."
I was a really bad reviewer this week! When this book came in the mail, I had to read to it. So I did! And I loved it! I love this series anyway, but this is by far the best book of the three. It only took me a day to read it, because I could not put it down... I'll have a review posted sometime.
Betraying Season by Marissa Dolye
"Penelope (Pen) Leland has come to Ireland to study magic and prove to herself that she is as good a witch as her twin sister, Persy. But when the dashing Niall Keating begins to pay her court, she can’t help being distracted from her studies. Little does Pen know, Niall is acting upon orders from his sorceress mother. And although it starts as a sham, Niall actually falls deeply in love with Pen, and she with him. But even if he halts his mother’s evil plan, will Pen be able to forgive him for trying to seduce her into a plot? And what of Pen’s magic, which seems to be increasingly powerful?"
I didn't even know I had this book coming so when I opened the package... I freaked out! I did a little happy dance and everything! I love S! To which J replied..."You didn't even act that excited when I asked you to marry me." Which is a total lie, btw, but I think helps reaffirm how very excited I was. I'm hoping to get to it fairly soon, but since it doesn't come out until June of 09, I probably won't be posting a review for awhile. Don't you just love the cover too!
