Summary:
"Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee ' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals--pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards... and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. According to her mother, that's a good thing.But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return-the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death... because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill. The daimons have found her.

Review:
This was a great introduction of the series with AWESOME story-line, characters and a perfect paranormal element to it! This type of book is what i look for in a good series. And the main character is pretty bad-ass. I love how she isn't letting one sad accident get to her easily. Not only is the writing amazing, the book cover just draws you in. I can't wait to start reading the series! I give it 5 stars!!

Summary:
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.
When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.

Review:
I've probably read this book, for the fifth time now. I just LOVE and adore this book a lot, and i never grow tired of reading this story. Also because the movie comes out MARCH 2013, whichc i'm super excited about. The characters, story-line and the fascinating world Stephanie Meyer created is exciting and captivating, although this book it not for everyone. It actually makes me want to live there, a little. The very first time i read this book was a few months after it was published. I just love Wanda and Ian together, they're just cute and perfect for each other. I think the ending was very well written, but it was sort of a cliffhanger. When i found out there are gonna e two books after this.. I was estatic! I can't wait to read the second book. I give this book 5 stars!!

Review:
I enjoyed this book, but for me it wasn't as good as the first two books. I do LOVE the story-line and the idea of getting matched to someone who you'll spend you life with. The characters are likable well most of them. The book covers are just beautiful. Few things i loved about the whole series are the poems, and how heartwarming the scenes were between Cassia and her grandfather. I'm a little sad that the series are over. The ending was ok, but it wasn't as perfect as i would like it to be. I give it 3 stars.

Summary:
Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime-fighter in the Twin Cities, so it's hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until she's lured into the sweet night air by something human and not human--something with talons and teeth, and a wide, scarlet smile.
Now Audrey knows the truth: her mom doesn't fight crime at night. She fights Harrowers--livid, merciless beings who were trapped Beneath eons ago. Yet some have managed to escape. And they want Audrey dead, just because of who she is: one of the Kin.
To survive, Audrey will need to sharpen the powers she has always had. When she gets close to someone, dark corners of the person's memories become her own, and she sometimes even glimpses the future. If Audrey could only get close to Patrick Tigue, a powerful Harrower masquerading as human, she could use her Knowing to discover the Harrowers' next move. But Leon, her mother's bossy, infuriatingly attractive sidekick, has other ideas. Lately, he won't let Audrey out of his sight.
When an unthinkable betrayal puts Minneapolis in terrible danger, Audrey discovers a wild, untamed power within herself. It may be the key to saving her herself, her family, and her city. Or it may be the force that destroys everything--and everyone--she loves.

Review:
I thought this book was pretty good. I really liked Leon because of how he always wants to protect Audrey from danger. There were parts where i knew what was going to happen, but the rest was a shock for me. The story-line was very well written as well. Overall i think this book was better that i'd hope it would be. I've read much more worse books than this, and i'm glad this isn't one of them. I give it 3 stars.
