Recenzie "Altfel de ingeri" de Lili St. Crow

"Altfel de ingeri" a fost prima carte citita pe noul meu Kindle :) A fost geniala. Dru Anderson este o fata de saisprezece ani, care impreuna cu tatal ei vaneaza creaturi supranaturale. Ei vin in Dakota, un taram al zapezii(cel putin in carte) . Tatal lui Dru nu o ia in ultma lui misiune, si el intarzie destul de mult. Ingrijorarile lui Dru sunt sustinute de prezenta bufnitei cu penaj alb, ochi negrii, mari, sinistrii, poreclita "bufnita bunicii" care mereu ii aducea vesti proaste.Faza e ca tatal sau revine pana la urma...insa este zombi. Rolul lui este unul infiorator, iar protagnista este nevoita sa il ucida.

  A fost un moment destul de dureros, insa in continuare, Dru constata ca a ramas singura. Cand avea cinci ani mama ei a fost ucisa, acum tatal ei nu mai e, si la doisprezece ani i-a decedat bunica. Singura-singurica, ea se imprieteneste cu Graves, un tip goth, de culoare, care poate la inceput pare mai scortos insa are un suflet de aur. Stiind ca nu poate sa se intoarca acasa, de teama de a fi atacata din nou, Dru ajunge sa doarma in casa improvizata a lui Graves, si anume intr-o anexa din mall. O asemanare dintre Dru si Graves este aceea ca niciunul nu mai are familie. Treptat, Dru se indragosteste de baiat, insa asta e partea a doua.

    Lili St. Crow se pricepe foarte bine la suspans. M-a tinut ca pe ace, si cand erau atacuri de ale varcolacilor, sau mai stiu eu de-ale cui eram super-tensionata. Deci la asta, puncte in plus. Altceva, ce nu mi-a placut a fost descrierea cadrului. Nu am reusit sa-mi imaginez pe cat de bine as fi vrut decorul, background-ul. La sentimente a fost bine. S-au repetat uneori aceleasi sentimente, acelasi trairi, insa nu a devenit ridicol de agasant. Doar putin :) Trecem cu vederea, ca nu e un aspect chiar atat de important.

     In mall Dru si Graves sunt atacati de un caine in flacari si de un varcolac. Bine. Aici m-a cam dezamagit. Ce treaba au unul cu celalalt. Si pe bune, caine de marimea unui ponei in flacari? Asta nu e o idee chiar atat de buna. Au fost cateva pasaje mai plictisitoare, dar ce sa zic, nimeni nu-i perfect, nu?
      Introducerea unui nou personaj, Christian, un dhampir ( jumatate vampir, vanator de vampiri, nascut din mama om si tata vampir) a fost destul de in regula. Prevad ca va deveni un triunghi amoros. Nu prea m-am dat in vant dupa partea cu aflarea identitatii adevarate a protagonistei, ce fel de fiinta e ea, cat de unica si bla-bla-bla e. Am intalnit asta atat de des, incat devine un super cliseu. Pe bune, mai schimbati placa cu autocunoasterea, ca m-am saturat sa o tot ascult!

    Dru a fost in regula ca personaj. Nu mi s-a parut ea complexa, insa ironia gandurilor si a replicilor ei, dar si a trairilor mi-au placut. A fost cam nechibzuita in anumite cazuri, parca pre repezita, dar tot fata si adolescenta ramane, asa ca are motive. Nu am spus om pentru ca nu prea e om. Ei, aflati voi. Vremea cu zapada mia transmis o stare cotidiana, avand in vedere ca afara este foarte frig(dar inca nu ninge, si nu cred ca mai e mult, cu toate ca e inceput de noiembrie) .

    Christian mi s-a parut prea misterios. Mi-ar fi placut sa se axeze mai mult pe portretul lui moral, pentru ca nu am avut o imagine clara asupra lui. Graves pare necunoscutul care te ajuta la nevoie, stiti? Persoana aia buna care te ajuta cand tu nu sti ca exista. Eu inca raman putin sceptica in cazul lui, daca imi dati voie...

Per total, "Altfel de ingeri" a fost o lectura buna, si tocmai de aceea primeste de la mine un 4/5 !

Review "The hallowed ones" by Laura Bickle

I've got this book from Laura Bickle in exhange for a honestly review. Thank you very, very much! This story was really awsome.

  I must begun saying that the cover si a perfect combination with the plot. The girl with brown hair is Katie. She's on the verge of her Rumspringa, and that means that she can go Outside for while and decide if she wants to be baptized and live with plain folks or she'll live Outside.

   Plain folk is  a community, where Katie and her best friend, Elijah are living. I saw that Elijah's in love for K, but she doesn't really want to marry him or to be his girlfriend.

     At the beginning, everything seems OK, normal. Execpt maybe the ravens. But...Elijah's brothers, who're Outside are missing. And something happened. Something big. Why? Because everyone's missing from the Outside community. Just blood and creepy creatures. At start  I thought that the booko was about aliens. And that was kinda weird. When I founded out that's about vampires, I calmed down. There are no roomantic, beautiful vampires. Just evil. And this was different from other stories, and I enjoyed that. More, I was so scared during this book!  The vamps were really creepy.

     I didn't enjoyed by the book the missing of many descriptions. It's ok to have a book with a lot of action and to not bore the reader with description, but at leas two phrases, I need to know what's around the characters. The dialogues were good. Plain folks belive in God, and sometimes it was a bit to much faith. I mean, it's ok to belive in God, but sometimes it was to much. More, the contrast between light (God) and dark (vampires) was incredible.

     Ok, so next, the Bishop and the Elders announce that nowone's inside and no one's outside the gate. Me, I hated Bishop and the Elders. Such evil creatures, who are loving their powers, and don't care of others safety.
       Katie finds, that day, an Outsider, near the gate, who's hurt. The Elders wanted to kill hin, but Katie's pleases convince them to let him die by himself. Katie have a really big soul. She takes the boy and take care of him. Alex was his hame. I loved Alex. He was my favorite character. Lovely, brave and a good boy :)

         The story continues with Katie's fear for the vampires. OK, this proposition was completly wrong. If I ever met a brave character, the one is Katie! She's just so brave ! With the Hexenmeister's help(a witcher) she have at leat a chace to fight with with the vampires. First, she thinks that they weren't attacked because they have a sacred territory, but when the girl that she can't suffer inivite in the vamps... Elijah begun being a good friend, but he's turning into a bad one.

          If everyone will found out about Alex, and more about Katie's crush on him, and if the vampires will destroy everiything...well you'll find out by yourself reading this amaizing book! 

      I didn't enjoy the words in Germain. I don't know that language, so I didn't uderstood anything.

       I liked the character's evolution. And the suspence. It was full of suspence. Don't miss this book! You can't let it from your hand, really!

I'll give a four by five! 4/5

In my mail!

Poison Princess (The Arcana Chronicles #1) by Kresley Cole

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.

She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can’t do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side…
