I didn't want this book to end !, 2010-06-15
I found this book very touching and I found it really helpful when I was going through a bad patch in my life.
I can relate to Charlie and like him I miss the days when McDonald's with my mum was enough to make me happy.
This is a must read for any teenager that sometimes feels like an outsider. Written beautifully in letter format which made it easy to read for a busy person like my self.
Loved this book so much I didn't want it to end. It was compared to the catcher in the rye and a separate peace so they are next on my list.

Demon From the Dark (Immortals After Dark 10)

Kresley Cole does it again......... Dark, romantic, erotic, funny, fierce....., 2010-08-26

Basic storyline is...

Demon Malkin has been made into a Scarba, a lethal mix of Vampire & Demon, you could say he has a few issues, having to survive in the harshest of climates he is reviled among his kind, an outcast & an abomination. He comes across as a neandrathal, animalistic & without having ever known love or loyalty.

Carrow who's confident, clever, witty, sarcastic, a powerful witch is coerced into going onto his plain of existance to lure him into the hands of mortal fanatics. They want Malkin, not ever having captured one of his kind before, so they can study any weakness. Already they have a menagerie of immortals caged & collared. It's here new intriguing characters are introduced, you get to meet character threads for future novels, I think.

The interactions & humour between Malkin & Carrow make this a memorable love story, long after you've read the last page. I really do not want to spill any spoilers, it's best just to read the book, if you like this genre you will love it.

We get reintroduced to the indominatable 'nucking futs' oracle Nix, who is still a little tapped & driving everyone crazy with her cryptic visions & unhelpful words of wisdom, yet she is still a master of manipulation & I sometimes wonder if's she as mad as she makes out.

I think this is going to suppass her previous novels & will be become one of my favourites in the series so far, it used to be Hunger like No Other, but Demon After Dark has just pipped it to the post.

I unreservedly give this a 5 Star, KC is back, a master at the romantic fantasy genre. It can be read on it's own, even though it is part of a series. Go on give your self a treat.

An insightful novel that almost reads like an autobiography. Roffey paints a vivid picture, made more so by having friends whose experiences were mirrored in many ways.

Start of another great series, 2010-08-23
Another great book from Philippa Gregory, once started difficult to put down. Whilst mainly adhering to the facts of the not overtold history of Henry VIII's grandmother, and her times, Philippa incorporates just enough of her own slant on events to make the novel an entertaining read. Being the firsts of her new series I am now very much looking forward to the continuation of the history being told through her next book 'The Red Queen'.

captivating, 2010-08-24
This book was truely amazing! It had everyhting i wanted to find in a book, romance, humour and even a bit of sadness. My friend referred me to Paige Toon by telling me of her other three novels 'lucy in the sky' 'johny be good' and 'chasing daisy' (which i have now ordered off line!) i read this book in practically 9 hours; even though i was supposed to be taking it on holiday with me! I just read the first few pages to get a feel of the book and i was hooked! It was unputdownable and i didn't want it to end!

The Red Queen

Brilliant, 2010-08-25
The Red Queen is the second in The Cousin's War series by Philippa Gregory. I loved The White Queen and have really looked forward to reading the next installment. The White Queen dealt with Elizabeth Woodville on the York side of the War of the Roses whereas The Red Queen focuses on Margaret Beaufort who is Lancaster through and through. Both books deal with exactly the same period of history and it is fascinating to see both sides of the same story. However we also have to remember that this isn't just a story, the events are actually true and Margaret Beaufort greatly influenced England's history by getting her son Henry on the throne who then went on to produce the infamous Henry VIII.
Margaret Beaufort believes that she is England's answer to Joan of Arc, her sole aim in life is to see her son wear the royal crown as she believes that it is his divine right to rule. The whole book sees her devising plot after plot to secure the throne; each time she puts herself, her son and her allies in danger of death as if they are discovered then they would surely be tried for treason and if found guilty would pay with their lives. I still cannot decide what I think of this woman, I understand that she believed her son should rule but she gives up and risks so much. You begin to wonder just how selfish she was, was she really fighting for her son or was it her own ambitions?
Philippa Gregory paints a wonderful picture again of this time in our history. It really must have been a very unsettling environment to live in, people were hatching plots all over the place. Margaret Beaufort has to rely on her great faith on many occasions, at one point she doesn't know if her own husband will fight on the Lancaster side or whether he will support the York King.
I've really enjoyed reading The Red Queen and it has made me want to read more books set in this tumultuous time. I can't recommend this book enough, especially if you have read The White Queen. These are my favourite so far of Philippa Gregory's books and I hope there are many more to come.
