Hello everyone, here is another book review for you to enjoy. My Name Is Memory is a novel that follows the life of Daniel, he has the gift of "Memory". Daniel has been reborn many times and his gift of "Memory" means that he can remember all of his past lives. Not many people have the gift but lots of people throughout the book are people that he has met before in other lives as other people. It all seems quite confusing but when you read the book it all becomes a lot clearer.

 Daniel is alone in the world, never wanting to let go of his other lives and live his present life. All through his lives Daniel has been looking for one girl Sophia, he has found her in many lives but has never been able to stay with her, but now he has his chance he met Lucy. She is Sophia reincarnated, he would recognise her anywhere. He wants to spend his life with her but some things are out of his control. If that was not enough information for you here is the synopsis:

"Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together-and he remembers it all. For all the times that he and Sophia have been connected throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. But just when Sophia (now "Lucy" in the present) finally awakens to the secret of their shared past, the mysterious force that has always separated them reappears. Ultimately, they must come to understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together."

My Name Is Memory is a captivating and memorable read. This book is beautifully written and the characters are well thought out. It is a little bit slow at the start but it soon speeds up and gets very exciting. There are two more books in this series but they have not yet been released, I will give you more details on this when i get them. I really cannot wait for the next book to come out. I really recommend this book to romance lovers. I would rate it 4/5 stars. Please look out for more of my reviews.

Bloodlines By Richelle Mead

Hello everyone! Has anyone read the new Vampire Academy spin-off series? Well I have and Richelle Mead out did herself. There has been a lot of negative reactions towards this book but the majority of the people who I have talked to LOVED this book. Bloodlines give you an incite into the minds of different characters than in Vampire Academy, though there are a lot of familiar characters including Sydney, Jill, Eddie and of course Adrian Ivashkov.

In Bloodlines you get to see how Adrian copes with his recent heartbreak and the damaging effects of spirit, how Jill copes with her latest revelation that has turned her world upside-down, and how Sydney copes with the demanding world of being an Alchemist and a secret that is tearing her apart. That's a whole lot of coping. Of course some of the old main characters appear in the book including Rose, Abe and a huge shock character appearance at the end... but no I wont tell you who it is. I know I haven't told you much about what the book is about because the best part of the book is the surprise of the events. But I will add the synopsis:

"When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning. Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood."

Sounds exciting doesn't it? And I Haven't forgotten about all you Dimitri lovers out there I am afraid to tell you that Dimitri is not really in the book often but i am absolutely positive he will have a bigger part in the second book in this series. So you will just have to wait a while to get any more Dimka, but trust me I'm sure it will be the worth the wait. And in the mean time you have the dashing Adrian Ivashkov to keep you occupied, what more could you want. Two characters that do not appear in the book are Lissa and Christian, I am curious to know what is happening with them! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved Vampire Academy or even if you didn't it is still worth reading. I give this book 5/5 stars. I think that you really need to go to your local library or book shop right NOW! Thanks for reading ;) Oh and please let me know if there is any books in particular that you would like me to review and I will try to get hold of them. I hope you enjoyed my review and stay tuned for more.

This was SO hard to choose, I love them all.
“But I can say you’re okay for an irreverent party boy with occasional moments of brilliance.”
“Brilliant? You think I’m brilliant?” He threw his hands skyward. “You hear that, world? Sage says I’m brilliant.”
“That’s not what I said!”
...
“Come on, Sage.
You understand how my mind works. You said I was brilliant, remember?”
Eddie glanced at me in surprise. “You did?”
“No! I never said that.” Adrian’s smile was infuriating. “Stop telling people that.”

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.
