The Mage by Jean Johnson

finally, the last of the series of the Sons of Destiny. i had been waiting to read this for a long time and it's been worth it. well there wasn't as much action as i had hoped, but still it was a nice ending to the series. jean johnson definitely did a good job linking all the 8 books together and that's a feat, with so many things to link. also, she described the scenes very well, so vividly. i could practically imagine a small isolated island growing together as the book series progressed. i have not had a chance to read all the books but will do so if i manage to find them. anyway, there's the synopsis as at the back.
hope, morganen's foretold bride, has finally arrived on the island. she hasn't been telling the full truth about herself and the consequences will stretch further than even she anticipates. just as morg gets used to hope's revelations, new enemies arrive on the isle, seeking to steal away the brother's chance at creatingn a new nation. during the attack, an old foe resurfaces and strikes amid the confusion, kidnapping the final bride-to-be.
either morg will resue hope and help his family complete the prophecies of the seer draganna and the last duchess of nightfall, carving a new kingdom in the process...or their enemies will be free to slaughter them all...
hope you enjoy.

Run For Your Life by Andrea Kane

it had been so long since i last read a book by this author that i had nearly forgotten about her. but reading this book made me remember why i was so into her once. it was just that i couldn't find any more of her books that i hadn't read, thus forgetting about her :P
when victoria kensington's sister audrey, vanishes, victoria is sure her abusive father is somehow connected. she does some investigating but reaches a dead end when help comes from an unexpected source, the lover she hasn't seen in 4 years.
zachary hamilton's investigation for the fbi has led him till where victoria was stumped in hers. when a surveillance tape reveals victoria, he knows he must contact his ex, no matter his feelings about her. together they must race to crack the mystery and rescue audrey even as the white hot electricity between them's recharging to a fever pitch.
this book has almost everything i could want for; action, mystery, romance and even some comic moments. i especially loved the feelings between the two of them. the author managed to bring our their feelings so well, it made me so engrossed that i hated to be disturbed. she also showed how they dealt with their problems. anyway hope you enjoy the book.

Elijah: The Nightwalkers by Jacquelyn Frank

This is one of the nightwalker series. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to read from the start, the first series which i assume is jacob;the nightwalkers. but still, i enjoyed this one everybit. i'm amazed at the creativity that authors are able to come up with, and the tenacity to continue the book until it's completed. kudos to all the authors out there in the world.
He is the warrior captain-powerful, relentless, merciless. He has always won every battle he's taken on until the last one where is left for dead only to be discovered by one of his ex-arch enemies. And that too by Siena, the Lycanthrope Queen. After having found uneasy peace finally between the his and her people, elijah is faced with another battle. That of winning Siena's heart. As would be enemies become inseparable lovers, another threat with the power to destroy all, approaches.
Demons, lycanthropes and even vampires, all of these, i'd learned about only from mangas that i'd read. i'd never read about them in novels, fiction books till recently and this was one of them. The words used to describe the feelings are so powerfully written. i myself was enthralled with the beautiful words used, i found myself together with the characters too. sigh, it's wonderful to dream. And this book also gave a little excerpt on the other books, gideon,(he's an ancient medic, one of the oldest and most powerful) jacob(he's the enforcer who's able to track down his own kind and has to mete out punishment to demons gone 'haywire') and damien(he's a vampire prince droolssss) i couldn't help talking about them ehehe the excerpts at the end were enough to make me want to read them too, despite them being before elijah or after. sigh oh well, i hope you enjoy this fantasy, supernatural and romantic novel as i have.

Write for your own pleasure

A full time career writing is quite hard for me to imagine esp since i can't even think up stories that fast. There might be some who enjoys writing so much that they want to make a career of it. Voila, there you have all the famous authors. hhehe i really have to hand it to them to be able to think up of such excellent stories.

But while you enjoy writing when you have inspirations, when you don't have them, it'll be a drudgery. I can personally vouch for that ehehehe there are so many incomplete stories, or should i say, paragraphs??? they're not even one chapter. it's just the starting that i wrote and i left it hanging. but i didn't know how to continue after that. sigh

like now, there are many books that i've already read, but i'm just too lazy to write and nothing's forming in my head right now. i'm returning those books tomorrow, so it'll just be read but not written about. such a pity as they're all good books. if anyone has any tips they can share for this writer's block or can make writing interesting, then i'd definitely be interested.

Falling Awake by Jayne Ann Krentz

I read this book twice now. Not a lot of times i know but the synopsis was interesting so i borrowed it...again. i did get an inkling that i had read it before, but after reading a few pages, i confirmed it. but oh well, i still enjoyed it.
Isabel Wright is a dream interpreter who never has a lack for suitors. but she pines for her mysterious client number 2 whom she's never met or also given the nickname by her her 'dream man'. Ellis Cutler, aka, client number 2 suddenly materialises one day when she's down and from then on, her life changes.
This is one of those books that i won't get tired of despite re reading it many times, of course provided that it's after a long gap. the adjectives; descriptive words; used i don't have to mention how amazing they are. in fact, all the books that i've read are amazing. they certainly boost my vocabulary power. hehe
Also, it's a really suspense filled book with lots of twists. i'm sure many will enjoy. Hope you people enjoy like i did.

Dark Victory by Brenda Joyce

Well here i am finally with another of the books that i like. it's a little different than what i'm used to reading. there is a fantasy genre too which i seldom read in my books, for the reason that i can't seem to find any of course. i do read and enjoy fantasy so long as there is romance and this book has it.

Macleod's life is about revenge and vengeance. Tabitha's life is about protecting others. When a vision of a dark, bloody and burned highlander appears to her, she knows she has to help him and summons him. But what she doesn't expect is to be taken against her will to her violent time. and there, she must learn to fight for more than just his destiny. she must fight for her love.

When i said that Macleod's life was about vengeance, i really meant that. he's so revengeful that he'd even defy the gods and not listen to them even though he is related. hehe but what i really loved was how well the author described. into the first page and already, i could feel macleod's feelings. got my heart thumping for a while there, really felt for him then. it's because these novels that i read are so well written and described that i am addicted to them. oh yea i am addicted. anyway hope you enjoy reading, my babe is calling for attention now so sayonara

i'm back

well, i said that i'd be taking a break for like a year but that turned out to be 2 years huh ehehe. couldn't help it. also, i wasn't able to read many storybooks at all, but now slowly, when i'm not feeling lazy and up to it, i'll be writing here again of the books that i read and liked. ciao for now since i'm feeling lazy again ehehe.
