We're Doing the Book Blogger Hop

-

It's that time of the week again plus one day as I normally write this on a Friday and it's Saturday today.

"Tell us about one of your posts from this week and give us a link so we can read it (review or otherwise)!"


In tradition of last week's Question about what book you were reading and since I recieved lots of comments about one of the books - for all my readers and followers who are fans of the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead , Here is my review for Last Sacrifice.

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, Book 6)


Review : Last Sacrifice - Vampire Academy #6 - Richelle Mead - Dec 2010

At the end of Book #5 Spirit Bound, we heard about the death of Queen Tatiana and saw Guardian Rose Hathaway being put away for her death. Now with the funeral processions happening, they have moved Rose's trial which all think she is guilty for to two weeks. Two weeks before she learns her fate as either proclaimed her innocence that we all know she is or they still find her guilty and execute her. During Tatiana's procession, it seems Rose's friends and family see this as the perfect opportunity to stage Rose's escape which will also give them more time to find out the identity of the real killer. The escape sees Rose on a journey with Dimitri and their Alchemist friend Sydney. The journey takes them first to a "safe place" but of course Rose has other plans - she was told that Lissa had a secret half-sibling . Rose soons teams up with arch-enemy and brother Victor and Robert to find Strigoi and ex-teacher Sonya Karp who was turned like Dimitri and as Lissa saved Dimitri ,we are about to witness the turning of Sonya with the help of Spirit User Robert. Along the journey, we also sense a lot of romantic feelings from all sorts of guys and the one girl stuck in the middle -Rose as she has to fight off a wedding proposal , and then decide who her dream guy and soul mate is - her current boyfriend Moroi Royalty Adrian or Dhampir Dimitri whom her heart has alway belonged to ? .

Find out in Last Sacrifice in which we see every single character make a sacrifice which will result in the consequences affecting their futures - some for good and others for bad ? Which side will your sacrifice lead you and even more is your sacrifice for you or somebody else ?
An awesome way to finish off the Vampire Academy Series and who knows in the next few years we may see it transferred to the big screen.

    Just hopping through. I haven't read any of the VA series yet, so unfortunately I had to skip over your review of #6. However, I've gotta say you've got some nice hunks for your casting picks! I've always had a soft spot for the lean and lanky geek look, so Milo is a personal fave.

    Have a great weekend!

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
