Vampire Lies by RaShelle Workman 

(Blood and Snow S2, #1) 

Publication date: April 19th 2014

Synopsis:

Genre: YA Fractured Fairytale
Blood and Snow Season 2
Book 1 ~ Vampire Lies

*** Eyes like violet sapphires. Wings of smoldering fire. Consume your true love’s blood. Become the Eternal Vampire. ***

Once upon a time there lived a vampire with wings and the genie who loved her…

Born of the seven magics, Jasmine is different in every way, including the obnoxious wings on her back courtesy of the original Vampires. She wants to be normal, to be a regular teenaged girl.

When a gorgeous dark-haired boy named Laeddin shows up and promises to sneak her away from all her problems and hide her in the human world, she agrees.

But an evil lurks in her nightmares, a man with red eyes. It doesn’t take long for Jasmine to realize that no matter how far she tries to run from who she is, he’s only a dream away. He wants her. He needs her. He acts as though he loves her.

It’s becoming harder and harder to tell the difference between the path that’ll lead to her happily ever after, and the path that’ll lead to her destruction as well as all magic.

Synopsis:

Life sucks.
Possessing magic sucks.
What doesn’t suck? Fashion, Cindy's boyfriend Gabe, and her best friend, Snow White.

Cindy (Cinderella…shhh, don’t tell) was born a witch. It’s part of who she is. But there’s more to her than that. She loves deeply. And has a big heart. She’d do anything for those she cares about, including risk her own life to save theirs.

When her fairy godmother demands she leave Salem, Massachusetts and return to the land she was born to rule, she has two options. Tell her fairy godmother no, and seal a death sentence on complete strangers. Or, leave all she’s ever known behind, including the love of her life, for an unknown land she’s fated to save.

So, yeah, life sucks.
But Cindy is determined to change that.

Tour Stop: Review: Beguiled

Today it is my turn to participate in Rashelle Workman Beguiled's Tour, I wasn't sure about it at the beginning, but I'm so glad I decided to join!

I discovered a great author!

You can read my review of the previous book in yesterday's post.

SYNOPSIS: 

Worlds divided them. Chance brought them together. Only love will save them. 

In book 2 of the Immortal Essence series, Venus must enter her planet's Hell, and complete three trials in order to free her parents, and save her soulmate. 

SUMMARY:

Venus has become immortal, just as she always wanted. In the process she hurt Zaren, lost Michael, and destroyed her family. 

At least that's what she believed.

Turns out Ramien, the god of her planets' underworld, has her parents, and Michael. 

To save them, Venus makes a deal. She must complete three trials. They seem impossible. They certainly won't be easy. Worst of all, someone she loves won't make it out alive.

MY THOUGHTS:

Absolutely loved it! I am officially in love with a new series. I devoured this book in just a few hours.
It is so fast paced, many things happen that my only complaint would be: it was too short!

The plot is very entertaining and we learn a lot about Venus and Michael's origins.

I would have liked a little more Zaren and Michael but it was a nice read.
Ramien, ugrrrhhhhh! disgusting SOB! (sorry for the outburst but he is!)

I'm speechless, I finished it 5 minutes ago and I've already want to start reading the following book! And sadly I have to wait until February! booooo!

The good thing about this instalment and how it flowed so easily, is probably that I'm already used to the terms that felt confusing in the first book.
Though I keep pronouncing "federer" instead of "ferether" lol.

Don't miss the chance to read this series, it's sweet, amusing and unique.

Review: Exiled

Exiled (Immortal Essence Book 1)
by Rashelle Workman

SYNOPSIS:

Worlds divided them. Chance brought them together. Only love will save them. 

An alien princess exiled to Earth. 

An arrogant boy. 

One week to get back to her planet or she'll die. 

And, her only chance for survival? She must help the boy find his soul mate.

Piece of cake!

Stubborn, sixteen-year-old Princess Venus of Kelari wants one thing, to become immortal, that is, until someone exiles her to Earth, kills her irrihunter and takes her family. 

Now she wants revenge. 

First she’s got to get home. But before she can return to Kelari, the Gods have commanded her to help an arrogant boy named Michael find his soul mate. 

Only she doesn't know the first thing about love. 

Rather quickly, her inexperience with human emotion is obscured by other matters--alien-controlled psychotic teens that are out to kill her, and a government group that is set on capturing and dissecting her. 

Worst of all, Venus will suffer a painful death-by-poisoning, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere, if she remains on the planet longer than one week. 

Still, Venus is a Princess and she's got a plan. Surely, with her help, Michael will fall in love with a human. 

But time is running out and Michael is falling for the wrong girl--her.

Genre: Paranormal Romance/ Sci. Fi.

Published: October 2nd 2011.     

Series: Immortal Essence #1.

        Rating:4.5 stars!  

MY THOUGHTS:

I really liked this book. I'm pretty surprised it has a 3.6 stars rating.
I must admit it was a little confusing at the beginning. So many names and creatures that made me feel lost for a while. 

But then, as the story progressed and I was getting used to those weird and complicated names, I found it amazing.

It's a simple story: A Princess that is framed and exiled to Earth. She doesn't know why she is there, or who did that to her, but the only way the Gods can forgive her and let her back in her planet is if she accomplishes a mission: She has to help Michael find true love.
There is an interesting twist though, she has a week before Earth's air, kills her...

Around those facts the story has action, romantic chemistry and we can discover a wonderful world Rashelle Workman created for this Kelarian Princess called Venus.

She is a great character, ok... yes, she is a little lost regarding emotions but she experiences life through "new eyes" while she is on Earth and matures whereas the plot entangles. 

Her Formytian (some sort of protector), Zaren, is the hottest thing on... should I say Earth? or the Universe? lol The tension between them is WOW! WOW! WOW! (no words to describe it)
And Michael, his story is heartbreaking, I felt so bad for him, It made me sad :( But his personality is magnetic and just loved him.


One detail I liked: the name of the chapters are all song's names! 

Anyway, this is my opinion and I think it is a sweet and nice story.
