"An interesting mix of The Hunger Games meets "Underworld", where a human, Oraya, competes in a once in a century tournament, the Khejari, in hopes of binding herself to her adopted Vampire father, Vincent and gaining his powers in order to search for her family. There's violence, death, manipulation, betrayal and love, all the hallmarks of an engrossing and entertaining read. I'm interested to see how this series progresses." 3 Stars Pros:  Oraya and Raihn did have good banter/The idea of the Khejari was interesting, though I had a feeling I knew how it would end.  Cons:  Some of the terms used during romance scenes were just cringeworthy/Oraya's friendship with Illana needed to be a little more defined for me to really care/Oraya always fighting with everyone, over everything.  Full Review Oraya was found in the rubble of her home after an uprising by the Rishan Vampires in the city of Salinae. Vincent, a Hiaj Vampire and King of the House of Night, re

"Six Medeians are approached by Atlas Blakely, the caretaker of the Alexandrian Society, a collective that has existed since the burning of the Library many centuries ago. He offers these six initiates one year of study, to hone their craft and they all accept but of course, no one is ever honest and there's always someone working in the shadows to destroy it all. It was a unique concept but it was bogged down by unlikable characters, unecessarily flowery language and just an overall feeling of pretentiousness." 2 Stars Pros:   Callum, for an empath is frighteningly dead inside, though he does make for a good villain, or, at least, an anti-hero.  Cons:  Basically all of these characters were obnoxious in one way or another and were constantly bickering, snarking and fighting with everyone and everything/There were no real moments of cohesion, of friendship and so, it was just reading a book about six people who despised one another/Parisa has absolutely no qualms what so

"The idea of Fallen Angels and the Book of Enoch has always fascinated me but Fitzpatrick's attempt to weave a love story loosely connected to it just didn't quite work. Also, having an MC with the name Patch, I struggled to take it seriously." 1 Star Pros:  The idea of Fallen Angels and the Book of Enoch has always interested me, that was really the only reason I read this book, to see how Fitzpatrick handled it.  Cons:  Though we eventually find out that Patch is a nickname, we're not actually ever told what his real name is/It was all so terribly convenient that these life or death, facedown with murderers happened in a a timely manner so that Nora wouldn't get in trouble for breaking curfew/The fact that the cops visited Nora's house on multiple occasions and the Mother never knew was just laughable/The whole, I know he's bad but I'm drawn to him cliché is just old/All the characters, especially the men, did not understand the concept of person
