Wolfsbane By Andrea Cremer

Hello everyone, I'm finally getting back on track with my reading yaay. This review may contain spoilers for Nightshade if you haven't yet read it. I finished Nightshade ages ago so I thought I may be a little confused reading Wolfsbane but luckily the start let you catch up fast.

Wolfsbane follows alpha of her pack, Calla. She has escaped the evil keepers but to do so she had to leave her pack behind in the process. Calla ends up with the searchers instead. They have always been her enemies but when she realises everything that she has been told is lies Calla discovers that maybe the searchers can be trusted after all. But after making the ultimate sacrifice what will happen to her pack?

Here's the synopsis:

"When Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemies, she's certain her days are numbered. But then the Searchers make her an offer, one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack and the man she left behind. Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive."



I liked and disliked Wolfsbane I really enjoyed the actual story and most of the characters were quite developed. So your wondering what I disliked about the book huh? One word. Calla. I found her character irritating and very under developed, then again I often hate the main heroines.  Remember this is my opinion you may love her. The only other negative was we didn't get enough Ren! There was a lot of characters I loved from Nightshade though, to name a few Bryn, Mason and  Ansel. In Wolfsbane we meet a whole new cast of characters, 'The Searchers'. These characters are also awesome, especially Conner. The Nightshade series finally has a hilarious character (Everyone rejoice!). I would give this book 4/5 stars, without some of the characters it would have been a lot lower. I would recommend this book to werewolf lovers.

My Favourite Quote:
"Oh, horrors, I've angered The Great One", Connor said. "Will I ever gain his forgiveness?"

WWW Wednesday (February 1st)

Hello everyone, It's W...W...W...Wednesday. No I do not have a stutter that's really what its called. WWW Wednesday is hosted by Should Be Reading. To join in just answer these questions:

1) What are you currently reading?

2) What did you recently finish reading?

3) What do you think you'll read next?

Here's my answers:

I'm Currently Reading:

Hope's Daughter by Melanie Cusick-Jones. I'm really enjoying it so far, it's really hard to stop reading it. Highly addictive, a great new dystopia (I think) novel. I don't want to give too much away but I'm really loving the male lead. Have you read it? What do you think? Review coming soon (or as soon as I've got enough time to finish it, I'm busy busy busy).

I Recently Finished:

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I really loved this book, enough to give it 5 whole stars which was hard for me as you know how much I love awkward numbers. I found the storyline utterly captivating and the main heroine didn't irritate me (A first!). I found her strong and didn't need to be saved by her true love every five minutes which was really great. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. To find out more read my full review.

I Think I Will Read:


Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer next. I quite liked the first book in the series Nightshade (Read my review here) so I decided to buy the second. Since then there has been so many other books that got in the way but I am determined to read this next but who knows, it may have to wait a little longer. My friend just finished it and said it's kinda depressing so it depends what kind of mood I'm in. Maybe I will regret not reading it sooner, you never know. Have you read it? Is it any good?

What about you? Tell me about your WWW Wednesday, what do you think of the book your currently reading? Or the one that you just finished. Leave me links to yours or if you don't have a blog just leave me a comment :) Thanks for reading.

Nightshade By Andrea Cremer

Hello everybody, this is my first book review i really hope you are enjoying them. Nightshade is the first book of three in the new Nightshade series. Nightshade follows Calla a teenage alpha Werewolf (Guardian) who is set to be the alpha male Ren's  mate to form a new pack.  The Guardians are there to protect the Keepers - an ancient race of witches- from their enemy's the Searchers, but it soon becomes evident that the Keepers are not at all what they make out to be.

But when Calla saves the mysterious Shay from death she starts to doubt everything she has ever known. Shay starts to appear everywhere and he doesn't seem to want to go away. Of course he and Calla develop feelings for each other. As always with a love triangle fans of the book choose their team... So what team are you? Team Ren or Team Shay? For Calla her pack will always come first but the events that unfold will change her life forever. If that wasn't enough Nightshade details for you here is the synopsis:

"Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything- including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?"

It sounds totally awesome doesn't it? I really liked this book although some of the characters didn't have much depth to them, I found Calla a little annoying but that is just my opinion as I hardly ever actually like the female lead. I actually really loved Ren and i am still undecided about Shay. Luckily there is still another two books after this one to make up my mind. I would rate this book at 3.5/5 stars. Yes i had to go with a really awkward number. I really recommend this book to paranormal romance lovers who like a good story line. Put it to the top of your to-read list definitely. I hope you enjoyed my review and again please inform me of any books you would like me to review.

My favorite quote:
“Ren watched us as he leaned casually against the table, holding a pair of scissors. I'd never seen a classroom tool look so dangerous.”
