Time of the Eagle by Sherryl Jordan

 

In this story of the triumph of good over evil, You meet Avala a sixteen year old Shiani girl who has just become a woman in her tribe. Her mother is the Healer in her tribe and all Avala wants is to follow in her footsteps but fate and destiny have a different path for her.  On the night that she is pronounced a woman her entire life goes from being soft, warm, and surrounded by love to being a battle ground on which she will fight, even if that means her death. Standing for what she believes in is the easy part for Avala but choosing to walk the path that may lead to her death is hard. This path leads her to unexpected places and gives her even more trials.

This story gets 3 out of 4 Cups Of Joe, as the writing was good but there were some parts where it felt as thought the author was just speeding the reader along, and a few other where I really wasn't sure what was going on, I felt like I needed a dictionary. Written at the Young adult level, this book definitely makes up for those two things with the characterization, I really do feel as though if I look inside myself I would find a young girl just like Avala! :-)

 There is not a link to buy this book but I am sure that you can get it at your local library!

Vampire Academy Series

A long time ago I used to work in a library and a children's librarian said that I should read the Vampire Academy Series. In my recent search of the library here in GA, where I now live I went ahead and decided to check it out. Boy am I glad that I did!!! I have never read any series of books that was so captivating. As you all know, I read a lot... but this series I finished in a week. All 6 Books!


Captured by the Guardians, Rose and Lissa are dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy. A boarding school for Vampires where they are educated in the ways of magic. Rose is a Dhampir, a half-human who is trained to protect Lissa a Royal Moroi Princess and the last of her line. The Dhampir's, also known as the Guardians are suppose to protect the Moroi (the vampires) from the things that go bump in the night. The Strigoi are the most horrible blood-sucking vampires known to the world, they don't care if you are human, Dhampir or Moroi, they catch you and you are good as dead!

As Rose and Lissa become entwined in forbidden romance, Royal politics and crazy teen angst. They discover they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

With hidden powers and remarkable friendship on their side Rose and Lissa battle against not only their enemies but also their hearts... The question is can they win?

A little Introduction

Hi,

I am a 24 year old college student. I have been haunting libraries since I was 2 years old and haven't been able to stop yet. Going to the library was how I got to escape my life. A good book is a blessing in this world. I am hoping to one day join the great minds that showed me the world of books. I read books to my little cousins and I love to read new things. My favorite types of books are Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Romance. If you have a book that you think I would like, Then send it my way. If I like it. I will share it with the world. Also feel free to check out my Goodreads Sites for some of my favorite books! Lately I have been reading on my Kindle App for the IPhone, and Many of the the books that I review here are going to have a link as the picture for you to get that same book for your Kindle.
