LOTHAIRE

LOTHAIRE
Reviewed By: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 10/01/2012

ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD 
Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But bloodlust and torture have left him on the brink of madness—until he finds Elizabeth Peirce, the key to his victory. He captures the unique young mortal, intending to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Elizabeth soothes his tormented mind and awakens within him emotions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience. 

A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER 

Growing up in desperate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a better life, never imagining she’d be convicted of murder—or that an evil immortal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no savior, as he himself plans to sacrifice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with wealth and sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie surrenders her body to the wicked vampire, while vowing to protect her heart. 

CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED 

Elizabeth tempts Lothaire beyond reason, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will Lothaire succumb to the miseries of his past . . . or risk everything for a future with her?


Review: I was so excited about this book that I actually put off reading it so I didn't finish it too quickly. Alas, I saw the error of my ways and finally read the damn book and oh boy-oh boy, thank god I did! Sexy, violent, violently sexy, action-packed, with some dark sensual twists- this book had it all and then some! Although Lothaire isn't my favourite book out of all the IAD Books (Demon from the dark will always hold that place in my heart- very, very sexy Malkom more particularly) but there are several reasons why this book was amazing and why Kresley Cole is one of my favourite authors of all time!

Ellie was definitely a bad-ass heroine. Some of the things she does in this book (NO SPOILERS) is absolutely-fricking-amazing! She made me laugh, cry, be astounded by her sheer will-power and strength and she didn't just match Lothaire, she brought him to heel.  I have always wondered who would be able to capture and conquer the heart of the ultimate bad-boy Lothaire and Ellie is a great edition to the Heroine hall-of-fame. Lothaire as the hero of the book was everything I thought he would be: uncompromising, an overbearing overlord, smug, destructive, sexy-as-hell, sinful, basically more of a bastard (sorry for the language) more than anything else. And I loved the fact that although Ellie brought out the sweeter side of him, the beast still remained a beast at the end but just with better manners.

Is it me or is every IAD relationship violent, mental and closely resembles a death-con match? Because man-oh-man, this book was filled with a lot of bloody violence- and I loved every second of it. Is that sick of me? That I actually enjoyed all the blade-wielding scenes. *Mentally shrugs* Oh well.
In terms of the plot, besides the whole Lothaire and Ellie relationship, we didn't get as much as what was happening with everyone else and the ascension as we usually do. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I felt at parts that this book was gearing-up for the bigger event that is going to happen in the next book- and the major tease at the end of Lothaire definitely confirmed that!

Overall, Kresley Cole as usually did an amazing job of creating one crazy-ass, sexy book to read. Did I forget to mention the X-rated sex scenes in this book?! Oh-my-god, some of it was definitely erotica level! Why do I have to wait so long for the next book?

ECSTASY UNTAMED

ECSTASY UNTAMED
Reviewed By: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 25/10/2011

They are called Feral Warriors--an elite band of immortals who can change shape at will. Sworn to rid the world of evil, consumed by sorcery and seduction, their wild natures are primed for release . . .
Shattered by recent nightmarish events, Hawke feels his bond with his animal spirit weakening--and once it breaks, he's finished. The arrival of Faith sends his life spinning even further out of control, for although she delights him and enflames his deepest primal passions, she's promised to Maxim, the newest Feral Warrior.
Faith is drawn to Hawke from the start, but Maxim holds her in his thrall and has secretly bent her to his malevolent will. Though gravely damaged, Hawke is the only one who can end Faith's slavery and protect the Feral Warriors from Maxim's evil designs. But first they both must embrace the wild . . . and surrender body and soul to a forbidden, all-consuming ecstasy.

Review: Firstly let me start by saying that if you have not read this series- why the hell not? Very sexy, bad-ass men who shape shift and save the world...and they completely love their women! So yeah, get reading, like yesterday. Phew, now that that is out the way, let me tell you about all the reasons why this book is definitely my favourite in the series so far (P.S it is the 6th book in the series)!

Hawke is hot! Kind, sweet, intelligent and he can fly! I have loved him every single book and I loved him even more in this book! He is the perfect hero: tortured but loveable, kind but not a doormat, strong but protective. *Sigh* Faith is one lucky girl...but Faith herself was a complete surprise. In the beginning of the book, she is very vulnerable, nice but quite waif-like. Now don't get me wrong, I loved her but by the end of the book I was screaming HELL YES- now this is what a heroine is meant to be like! The relationship was a really nice, sensual and sexual, exciting and lovely, build-up that just made me shed a few happy tears. Definitely the best HEA.

Plot-wise, you are in for quite a few surprises. The action in this book was incredible. It begins quite slow, building up the relationships but when it hits the middle the action just kept going and going and going. Also, every book I find it really fascinating to read about the relationships between the feral warriors who really act as brothers. In this book we get some really nice moments between them and it really made me wish that I was living in that darn testosterone-filled house! How amazing would it be!

Overall, Loved, Loved, Loved this book and I cannot wait until the next one! When is it coming out dear Pamela Palmer? I don't know how much longer I can wait! (P.S I really hope Wulfe story is next, all the side-plot involving him in this book was such a tease!)

TEMPEST

TEMPEST
Reviewed By: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 17/01/2012

The year is 2009.  Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.

But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler.  Recruit… or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.

REVIEW: Time-travelling hot, sexy boy who goes back to save his girlfriend- say what? That was my reaction when I first came across this book and I really hoped, when I first started reading it, that it would live up to its potential. And for me, it definitely did!

I don't think I've read a lot of YA books in the point of view of the boy, which seems really strange now that I think about it. But what I loved about Jackson as the hero is the fact that most of the time he acted like a teenager and he messed up- and I mean he messed up a lot. But it was great to read and the book is filled with action and movements but there are some really nice moments when it slows down and we get to see the relationship with Holly and Jackson.
Holly and Jackson's relationship was really nice and enjoyable but I don't know about Holly as a character. She is great, but she never makes it out of  her role as 'the girlfriend', she doesn't seem to be anything else beyond that, which can't of frustrated me because I wanted her to step up and be a man! Yeah.... but on a better note, Jackson's powers made up for absolutely everything- did I mention that he could time-travel?

The one thing that I found really strange and which is never answered in the books is: why is set in 2009? Maybe it's just me, but I thought that would be significant or something but it kind-of felt like 2009 was literally 2012, if you understand what I am saying... No? *Ahem* Then lets just move along.

Overall, I really enjoyed the fact that it was different to a lot of other YA books out there at the moment. Ignoring the cliched moments in the book (which it definitely had), it has a great set of characters, heart-pounding action and my absolute favourite, paranormal. So I am definitely going to be waiting for the next book by Ms. Julie Cross.

HALLOWED

HALLOWED
Reviewed By: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 17/01/2012
For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought.
Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

REVIEW: Let me begin by saying that I hate, hate, absolutely hate Love triangles and this forever-lasting trend of love triangles in YA books (that was presumably started by stupid Twilight)! And that is my rant over...at least for now. So although I knew as soon as Unearthly ended that this book would pick right up with yet another love-triangle, I still began to read this book.

Clara as a heroine is  definitely not irritating but she acts like a teenage girl with all her indecisiveness and her contradictory and selfish actions. But for some strange reason, she is also great to read because she is believable and good as well and she clearly cares for the people around her. She also has some great moments in Hallowed where she really steps up and acts more mature than her age.

I do understand the need for the love triangle. Unlike other YA books, there was a point to all of this and Cynthia Hand made a really interesting case for why Clara should pick either boys. Of course this wasn't the only focus of the book, something major happened in it as well but as usual, if you are expecting a fast-paced book, this isn't it. The plot moves quite slowly at times and characterisation is clearly the most important thing and it is done amazingly well. 

This book broke my heart. That is all I can say. 

Overall, I thought the book was a really good book, with a really soft and engaging narrative and some really compelling action. However I really hoped that for once the guy I liked would be the one who would succeed. I am still going to cross my fingers for the next one, but I am not going to hold my breath.

AND THE WINNER IS.....
BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD
SEXY HERO'S MONTH 

Is a contest run by .ParaRomance Club. Its where we all get together and vote for our 
favourite book series and the sexy guys in the books.Now for my part in this amazing 
contest I'm going to be fighting for the amazing Lords of the underworld by Gena 
showalter And we are going up against the guys from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward. So I'm here to tell you why the Lords are so amazing and why you should go vote 
for them. 




So now I'm going to tell you a little about the lords and let you know why I think you 
should vote for them and there sexy butts. :)

Torin keeper of disease,he is 6'5' with shoulder length white hair and
sexy green eyes.. he has a butterfly tattoo on his stomach and he all 
ways wears long black gloves because he cant touch anyone 
because his touch can be deadly.Hasn't been lucky enough of 
finding his mate yet but I know of lots of women who would gladly 
take him. His chosen weapons are unknown/ a big kept secret 
within the lords.







Aeron keeper of Wraith, a massive 6'6' with cropped brown hair. he has sexy violet eyes that make you melt. as you can see he has a butterfly tattoo in the middle of his back. He is one of the lucky lords to of found his mate, his mate is Olivia and she is an angel set with the task to bring him joy. His chosen weapons would be anything he can get his hands on.





Lucien keeper of Death again a massive 6'6' but he has black shoulder length hair. He has mismatched eyes one brown 
(normal eye) and one blue ( believed to allow him to see 
into the spiritual world). his butterfly tattoo is on his 
upper left shoulder, front of chest. He is one of the lucky 
lords who has found his mate. His mate is Anya Goddess of
 Anarchy. His weapon of choice is knives and beware of 
poisoned tips. 




Maddox keeper of violence standing at a height of 6'4', he has yet black hair and his eyes are a violet but glow red when he is angry. All so when he is angry he gets a skeletal face visible through his skin. His tattoo is on his left shoulder, wrapping around to his back. Maddox like nothing better then to fight with his hands. As with some of the other lords Maddox has been lucky to find his mate and she is called Ashlyn and she has some special powers herself.


Reyes is the keeper of pain, standing at a height of 6'5' with dark brown 
hair and chocolate brown eyes. His butterfly tattoo is on his chest and neck.
 Reyes is the lord with deeply tanned skin but is often ruined by scabs and spots from him frequently hurting himself, but as we all know its the only way he 
can get any kind of pleasure. he has been known to go as far as jumping off buildings to keep his demon under control. Reyes preferred weapon would be his daggers and guns. Again Reyes has been lucky to find his mate and she is called Danika and she helps keep his demon at bay

Paris keeper of promiscuity, mm the demon of sex. He stands at a very high 6'8' making him one of the tallest lords. his hair is varying shades of brown and black but he has the bluest eyes that heat you up.His butterfly tattoo is on his lower back and he is known as the most physically appealing of all the lords. If Paris doesn't get sex every day then he weakens. he once had a mate but he ended up loosing her. His favourite weapon would be a sword.




Sabin keeper of doubt 6'7'. he has brown hair with golden brown eyes. His
 tattoo is on his right ribcage and waist. He wears a neclace that belong to his dead friend. He likes to use most weapons but he all so likes to use his harpy 
bride. He useshis demon to whisper in to the minds of any one in reach. He has managed to find his mate. Gwen is a harpy and is as fierce as Sabin. 


Gideon keeper of lies, at the height of 6'3' he is one of the shortest lords.his hair is dyed blue and his eyes are blue but kohl- rimmed. His tattoo is on his right thigh and he has multiple piercings and his appearane is general goth look. again he is one of the lords that doesnt mind what weapon he uses. he is unable to tell the truth without experiencing pain.he is one of the lords who has a mate her name is Scarlet and she all so is a lord and she carries the demon of Nightmares.

Amun the keeper of secrets, height 6'6' brown hair and brown eyes, his tattoo is on his right calf .and his skin is dark. he preferrers weapons with an exotic nature. poor Amun choses not to speak because when he does people secrets come out and he cant control them. He has a mate called Haidee, she was once a hunter.



Strider keeper of defeat he is 6'5' and has blonde hair and blue eyes . his butterfly tattoo is on his left hip and he has a birth mark on his buttocks, no one knows how he has it because he was created not born. again like some of the other lords Strider will use most thing as a weapon. he is unable to loose at anything or his demon gives him so much pain he is in bed for days. He is all so known as the witty lord. Strider has found his mate in a harpy called Kaia


Kane keeper of disaster 6'4' his hair is a mixture of brown black and gold and is eyes are hazel. His butterfly tattoo is on his right hip. he has nothing else to distinguish him from the others. His favourite weapons are rifles and other long range weaponary. Kane cant move without a mini disaster to happen. Kane has not yet found his mate but again I know lots of women who would like to take him on.


William not a lord but as good as, he doesnt have the butterfly tattoo but he
 has just as much strength and passion as the rest of the guys in this series. 
he has long dark hair and he is as tall as them all. and it is to be belived that 
he is the devils brother and he made the four horse men of the 
apocalypse

*******************************************************************

The Black Dagger Brotherhood Black Dagger Brotherhood. The BDB. There is a reason why this series is so well loved and it's not just because it's well written and addictive. 


Each of the brothers bring something special to this group that makes them each truly unique and collectively all of those traits has made this series one of the most loved in the PNR world! If you're familiar with this series then you know that they are great at kicking ass and taking names. Vampires whose sole purpose is protecting other vamps from the evil Lessers. They care about each other on a whole different level that makes their readers love them even more. They wear black leather (SEXY!), carry daggers to cause damage to their enemies (I so want one), and carry all kinds of guns to get the job done! I mean can't you just see them wearing a gun holster up under that leather. Mmmmm! They love their women and love them hard! Nothing gets between them and their mate and can I just say that those ladies are very, very lucky. *waggles brows* 


 Because they are all so loveable in their own way, it makes it hard to choose a favorite. I do have my favorites, but I love them all! Wrath (LOVE), Rhage, Zhadist (LOVE HIM!), Butch, Vishous (SEXY!), Rehvenge, John Matthew, Qhuinn, Blay, (WE WANT QHUAY!) and Tohr whose book is next. Everyone has a favorite.

MORGANVILLE VAMPIRE V. MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

AND THE WINNER IS........
THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!


Here to talk to you about why you should vote for the MORTAL INSTRUMENTS is Valerie from Stuck In Books:


Hey! I'm Valerie from StuckInBooks and I'm here to convince your to vote for the Mortal Instrument Boys!



I love ALL these books and the boys are a big part of that.  Here's why.


Simon- 


Resilient, talented and a fabulous friend, Simon can save the day as well as the shadowhunters.


"He reached back over his shoulder.  He was holding Alec's bow, she realized, and the quiver was strapped across his back.  He drew an arrow from it, fitted it to the string, and lifted the bow expertly, as if he'd done the same thing a hundred times before.  The arrow sprang free.  It made a hot buzzing sound, like a huge bumblebee, as it shot over Abbadon's head, plunging to ward the roof--  ...Abbadon screamed and staggered back, shielding its misshapen head with its hands." City of Bones


"Sebastian yelled out loud and flung himself backward, landing hard on the ground.  He rolled, Simon half on top of him, the two them clawing at each other, tearing and snarling like dogs in a pit."  City of Glass


Alec-


Brooding and fiercely loyal, Alec may be in the background but ya got to love him.

"Alec nodded.  'You can fill me in on that later.  First things first: We have to figure out how to get you out of here.' 'What?' Disbelief made Jace feel slightly dizzy.  'I thought you came down right on the side of go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars. "The Law is the Law, Isabelle." What was all that you were spouting?'  Alec looked astonished.  'You can't have thought I meant that.  I just wanted the Inquisitor to trust me so she wouldn't be watching me all the time like she's watching Izzy and Max.  She knows they're on your side.'"  City of Ashes


Magnus


Powerful, talented and beautiful, Magnus is funny and always saving the day.


"Magnus, standing by the door, snapped his fingers impatiently. "Move it along, teenagers. The only person who gets to canoodle in my bedroom is my magnificent self."
"Canoodle?" repeated Clary, never having heard the word before.
"Magnificent?" repeated Jace, who was just being nasty. Magnus growled. The growl sounded like "Get out."  City of Bones


'"I'm Magnus Bane," he went on in a soothing tone, stretching out his reinged hands.  Blue sparks had begun to dance between them like bioluminescence dancing in water.  "I'm the warlock who's here to cure you.  Didn't they tell you I was coming?"' City of Ashes


Jace-


Gorgeous and snarky, Jace battles demons with the skill of the angles.  Totally HOT.


"Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?"
"If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked." City of Bones


"He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly -- and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. 'If you want me to stop, tell me know.' he whispered.  When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. 'or now.' He traced the line of her cheekbone. 'Or now.' Her lips were against hers. 'Or--' City of Glass


"Jace dived for the kindjal, grabbed it, and rolled to his feet, flinging the dagger hard at the back of the Oni demon's neck.  It sliced through with enough force to decapitate the creature, which sagged forward, black blood gushing from its neck stump.  A moment later it was gone." City of Ashes


Got to LOVE all those boys.

OKAY NOW FOR MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES!!!


There are three main reasons why I love the Morganville Vampire boys. Want to know what it is? It's basically because they are FUNNY, HOT AND SWEET. Forget about the romance with Eve and Claire, it's all about the BROMANCE! They can go from fighting to hugging in a blink of an eye- *sigh* you have just got to love them!


SHANE:
Gorgeous, witty, temperamental, occasionally a prick (excuse my language *cheeky grin*) but so completely worth it!
He is the definition of a guy's guy!
HELLO- I mean just look at the cockiness >>>
But he can be sooo sweet with Claire...and it just makes me want him!!
MICHAEL:
Sweet, wise, calm and absolutely hot!!
<<<<He plays guitar, is so mature for his age and did I mention that guys with guitars are just super delicious? 





THE MV BOYS are, like I mentioned, super hot, absolutely sweet and have the most funniest lines ever! However I don't think that is what makes them great and better than any other guy out there (well fictional guy, I clearly mean ficitional guy)- it is because they are totally BAD-ASS! They battle Vampires for crying-out-loud! Every book is an adventure and they somehow get themselves into the craziest situations (I don't want to say it's Claire's fault, but that girl is seriously a magnet for trouble!) and somehow they always manage to get themselves out of it! Rock on MV BOYS!!

VOTE FOR THEM!!

ARC REVIEW: KISS OF THE VAMPIRE

KISS OF THE VAMPIRE
Reviewed by: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 01/02/2012


Once a generation, the rift between the paranormal world and the human world opens, allowing supernatural entities to cross. Vampire, demon, or shapeshifter, they can save the world-or send it spiraling into chaos.< 


Half-demon, half-human, Nix de la Fuente is accepted by neither and mistrusted by both. Determined to prove she's more human than not, she devotes herself to solving crimes between the world's mortals and its most unsavory undead. But her latest case brings her face to face with the one vampire she could never resist . . . 



Called in to investigate a string of violent murders, special agent Tobias Caine isn't interested in rekindling his relationship with Nix. Yet one look and the vampire knows his need for her is as strong as ever. Once, their all-consuming passion nearly cost Nix her fragile hold on her humanity. Now, as their hunger for one another intensifies, exposing them to an unimaginable danger, it could cost them both their lives.


REVIEW: I must admit that anything that includes the paranormal and romance in it, sign me on board! So you can imagine how many different 'Vampire' books I have read over the years and a lot of them  aren't really worth a mention... but this definitely is! Sexy, dark, with a crime mystery right in the middle- definitely not your average run-of-the-mill Paranormal. 

Nix, as a heroine, is tough, kick-ass and really gorgeous to read. I liked the fact that she was complex and vulnerable but also knew how to take care of herself. But... Tobias! Two words- Absolutely amazing! I think what I found sexy about him was the fact that he was so devoted to the law and being good! I mean I love my bad-boys *rolls eyes, who doesn't?* but at the end of the day for me, it's the guy who you know will do everything to protect you and won't mess you around that I want to go home to. And that is exactly who Tobias is. The relationship between him and Nix was difficult to read at times because they have so much history between them that needs to enfold and then I didn't think enough happened in the present between them to completely satisfy me. Except the things that did happen, boy-oh-boy are you in for a ride! Hot, passionate and down-right dirty at times * SPOILER thinking of a particular scene that involves a lot of danger and... some other things as well*. 

I also really liked the plot, the unusual history of the paranormals in the story really intrigued me. However I have no idea where the story is going to go now but it's all about the journey.

Overall, a book you will definitely enjoy and I can't wait to get my hands on the second book! So thanks netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for ARC!

SIN UNDONE

SIN UNDONE
Reviewed by: Blaire Daniels
Release Date: 24/09/2011

HER TOUCH IS DEADLY
As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she’ll die before she’ll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin’s innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.

HIS HUNGER CAN’T BE DENIED
Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she’s no stranger: He’s bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld’s most wanted and Con soon learns he’s the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.

REVIEW: I absolutely adore the Demonica series and have adored Sin ever since she first stepped onto the page. But for some strange reason I have been putting off reading this book- probably because I know if I finish it, then there is no more Demonica books left to devour! Except... Larissa Ione has a new series that include the yummy, gorgeous, drool-a-licious Demonica boys in them, so all is right in the world again!

Sin, as a heroine, is complicated, vulnerable, bad-ass, bitchy with some added mean to it, and absolutely amazing. I love my heroines being strong characters who can hold their own but also has vulnerabilities to them that can make us relate to them as humans... except Sin isn't human- she's a Seminus demon who needs sex to survive! And that is besides the point... suffice to say, Sin is my favourite heroine out there. And the romance between her and Con? Off-the-fricking-charts. Sexy, sweet, passionate, soothing, it just got more and more complicated as you read the book and more and more layers of these two complex characters were revealed. It was amazing to read. And Con? What can I say? Other than, this bad-boy needs to find a way to come to my house and stay there- like prompto.

Overall, this book made me really excited to read the Lords of Deliverance series, which I have been lucky enough to receive a copy of from Grand Central Publishing- so thanks in advance! If you haven't read the series yet, I would definitely recommend reading the Demonica series, Larissa Ione is a fricking genius at what she does!

THE COVENANT V. THE OTHERWORLD

CONTINUING THE SECOND ROUND: Next we have the showdown between THE COVENANT SERIES BY J.L.ARMENTROUT and OTHERWORLD SERIES BY KELLEY ARMSTRONG. To  progress to the next level and make it that much closer to being crowned the SEXIEST HEROES of them all they will need your votes! 


AND THE WINNER IS....
THE COVENANT SERIES!

Here to talk to you about why you should vote for THE COVENANT SERIES BY J.L.ARMENTROUT is Momo from BOOKS OVER BOYS!


Blaire from The ParaRomance Club contacted me last week, asking me if I had wanted to advocate for both Aiden and Seth from Half-Blood...and after being Alex's advocate for the YA Heroine Tournament, I couldn't really turn down the offer because I love the series and of course, the guys, so here's my post as to why you should vote for these two very sexy heroes! ;)





• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 
What makes Aiden St. Delphi the hottest stud around, you ask? Well, I turned to the twittah for some help and I asked:
Then I got a few reponses:
His personality, his guitar pick collection, his confidence, his sexy, muscular biceps and triceps...and pretty much every muscular part of his body makes Aiden St. Delphi the mutha freakin' GOD of all the sexiest heroes! Eh, see what I did there?! ;)
Now as you probably noticed, I didn't include the eyes...because, well if you know me, eyes drive me insane. Good insane, of course and no one's eyes does that better than Aiden St. Delphi's. <3333 Like seriously, what kind of eyes are "thundcloud eyes?!" That's a storm all on its own! Everytime Alex mentions his eyes, I come close to death each time; no joke.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, what did I tell you.
Aiden St. Delphi is the sexiest hero evah because:
  • he's loyal which means he will do right by you
  • he doesn't push himself all over you
  • he will put you first before anything and everything else
  • he's almost, sorta like the broody, moody type of guy will is sexy all in its own league
and lastly,
  • he loves passionately and strongly and fiercely yet he has so much control that it drives the sexy meter straight through the roof
VOTE AIDEN ST. DELPHI

Now, Seth - tsk, tsk, tsk. He's such a mystery. Like I did for Aiden, I asked the twittah the same question...well, except I switched out Aiden's name for Seth:
And the responses were:
After I got those responses, I was pretty much like:
GASP
Because those two tweets sum up everything about Seth. He's a different sort of hero, meaning that he seems to be like the cocky, "I-don't-give-an-eff-about-anything" sort of guy yet, somewhere along the line he's been hurt...like really bad. And to me, those sort of guys make my heart ache so bad. I just wanna wrap them in my tiny embrace and hold onto them forevah. I'm not saying that's how Seth is exactly because we haven't seen much about him but from what we've read about him thus far, I've sorta come to that conclusion...ish.
But yes, Seth's quirkiness, charisma, attitude, remarks, etc. make him a very sexy hero because you just don't know what to expect from him. He'll definitely keep you on your toes! :) Plus, he's carefree and when you're wound up so tight you're close to exploding, Seth will be sure to help you have fun and just be!
Seth is the sexiest hero OF. ALL. TIME. because:
  • first of all, who doesn't love a guy who just goes with the flow of life?
  • his humor will most likely have you laughing your eyes out until you cry and develop a six-pack
  • he's fluent in Sarcasm, I mean, WIN right there
  • like Aiden, he'll do anything to make sure you're safe, alive, and breathing ;)
and lastly,
  • he's mysterious which keeps you wanting more no matter how hard you try to resist
VOTE SETH
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 
And well....there you have it! Vote for Seth and Aiden because if you guys don't, Alexandria will probably be very pissed and once she reaches that point, there won't be any reasoning with her and....you guys don't want her coming after you guys! ;)
VOTE FOR AIDEN AND SETH

NOW FOR WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR OTHERWORLD SERIES BY KELLEY ARMSTRONG:


Do you want the short reason or the long one? Short reason... because they are amazing!! Long reason.... because Kelley Armstrong has created a fantabulous and amazing set of characters that make me want to drool with happiness! Her men are realistic, feisty when they need to be and supernatural. Can you say JACKPOT? Oh yes I can! So check out these photos of what I think or see in my head- and P.S I like seeing them shirtless, mmm, very shirtless:


CLAY: 
Fearless, protective, fiercely loyal, gorgeous, smart, annoying and did I say gorgeous already?
My favourite character ever! I mean he's just so sexy in his confidence!
JEREMY:
Dependable, wise, a leader, sweet but a man who can definitely get down and dirty when he needs to- and hey I meant that metaphorically, if your mind went to the gutter don't blame me (*puppy dog eyes*)  


ANTONIO:
Pure muscles, an amazing father, gorgeous- I mean I really want to see those muscles!


NICK:
Playful, adorable, humorous, loyal, dedicated oozes sex and sensuality and an absolutely amazing friend. It's a toss up between wanting him as your best friend or your lover... and then I imagine how he looks like- definitely wanting him as the latter! Hell yes!
KARL:
Sophisticated, sensual, sexual, and every other damn 's' that you can think of! He has bad-boy written all over him and that's the way he likes it...but there's also another side to him *sigh* and I think that's what makes him sinfully attractive. Sign me on board!!
LUCAS:
Geeky, smart, amazingly sweet and the guy you are most likely to fall for- because he will always be there to catch you, as cliché as that sounds! Oh god, he makes me sappy (*wipes tears from her eyes*)








VOTE NOW FOR OTHERWORLD SERIES! THE SEXIEST MEN ALIVE (Hehehe!)
