Review: Legacy by Kate Kaynak

Legacy
Author:Kate Kaynak
Release Date: January 28, 2011
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press
Ganzfield Book #3
ISBN:  0984531149
ISBN13: 9780984531141
Genre: Young Adult
Review Copy Source: From Author for review 

Maddie has more problems than the average seventeen-year-old: A psychotic killer with superpowers wants her dead.
A serious medical issue makes a "normal" life impossible for her.
And she's about to be introduced to Trevor's grandparents.
Guess which one freaks her out the most? The Ganzfield series continues in this third installment.



I was SO excited to be able to review another of Kate's books. I very much enjoyed ADVERSARY and MINDER and I enjoyed LEGACY just as much. Kate gets you thinking and on the edge of your seat from the first chapter. Maddie had to grow up fast and she is rolling with the punches and learning that she cant always be in control. The supporting characters are all wonderful to get to know, I have come to care about what happens to them just as much as with Maddie. You will see some new faces as well as a new villain, I already know this person is going to be right up there in the evil department like Isaiah. I have found all the books in the Ganzfield to be very smooth and fast reads even though they are packed to the gill with twist, turns, action, and suspense. There is so much awesomeness but I cant tell you much more because I will give away spoilers. I can not wait to see what ACCUSED brings to the table.

Review: Kitty Goes to War by Carrie Vaughn

Kitty Goes to War
Author:Carrie Vaughn
Release Date: June 29, 2010
Publisher: Tor
Kitty Norville Book #8
ISBN:  0765365618
ISBN13: 9780765365613
Genre: Fantasy
Review Copy Source: Publisher


Kitty Norville, Alpha werewolf and host of The Midnight Hour, a radio call-in show, is contacted by a friend at the NIH's Center for the Study of Paranatural Biology. Three Army soldiers recently returned from the war in Afghanistan are being held at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs.  They're killer werewolves—and post traumatic stress has left them unable to control their shape-shifting and unable to interact with people.  Kitty agrees to see them, hoping to help by bringing them into her pack.   

Meanwhile, Kitty gets sued for libel by CEO Harold Franklin after featuring Speedy Mart—his nationwide chain of 24-hour convenience stores with a reputation for attracting supernatural unpleasantness—on her show. 

Very bad weather is on the horizon.

The Kitty Norville series is defiantly a series you want to start at from the beginning, I dont think you would be lost if you started out of order but you would miss so much back story that I dont think you would get all the series has to offer.  I love that we get to see Kitty in her own territory again, the addition of the military storyline brought out the Alpha in Kitty and really made you think about what it would be like if the military used werewolves as soldiers. You will get action, suspense, emotion and secrets revealed when you pick up KITTY GOES TO WAR. Not much more I can say without giving away spoilers but if you have enjoyed the Kitty series in the past you wont be disappointing when you pick up book 8.

I gave it 4/5 Stars

This weeks question comes from

Katy of Vision Quest Fail

"What is the book you are currently 'pushing'? (Pushing mean trying to get people to read it)"

 

I'm not really pushing anything. I read what interests me and review it with my thoughts so that my followers will what I think about a book they are looking into.

Book Blogger Hop

This week's question comes from :  Alex who blogs at Geek on the Brink:
 

"What are you reading now and why are you reading it?"

I Just finished Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton, I got it from Simon & Schuster to review and it looked awesome so I decided to read it next from my TBR pile. I was not dissapointed.

 

Review: Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Delirium
Author:Lauren Oliver
Release Date: February 1, 2011
Publisher: Harper Teen
Delirium Book #1
ISBN:   0061726826
ISBN13: 9780061726828
Genre: Young Adult Dystopian
Review Copy Source: Shelf Awareness


Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love - the deliria - blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. 

But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

I hate having to admit that I kinda had a hard time connecting to DELIRIUM at first, I found myself getting distracted by other things and putting the book down a lot. However in saying that Delirium is very beautifully written and grew on me as the story went on.  The main character Lena starts off like everyone else, following rules, wanting to be "cured" of the disease of Amor Deliria Nervosa (aka Love) only to fall and love. The connection between Lena and Alex comes off heartfelt and strong. The characters grow on you and you find yourself wanting to know more about them. The ending ends on a bit of a cliffhanger but not so big of one that your left wanting a true ending. Delirium is the first novel in a trilogy and I cant wait to see what happens next in PANDEMONIUM.

I gave it 4/5 stars
