<b>Review</b><br />
<br />
Patti Larsen takes us on another whirlwind adventure, this time with
twelve-year-old master thief, Aiden. Aiden has been trained by his
parents to not only steal remarkable prizes, but also to keep himself
safe in the process. Luckily he hasn't forgotten a single lesson. When a
job goes south and his parents disappear, leaving him with nothing but a
bunch of questions and a mysterious cube, Aiden's forced to follow his
training in ways he never imagined.<br />
<br />
The book was so packed full
of adventure, it practically stole my breath away. Aiden is a
delightfully clever character who was never defeated, no matter what
hardships were thrown at him. And boy does Larsen love to make her
characters suffer. I'm so intrigued with the origin of the cube. I can't
wait for the next book in the series to learn more.<br />
<br />
A great read for both guys and girls who want an exciting story with just a touch of the paranormal.<br />

<b>Review</b><br />
<br />
This
is the first time in a long while that I've felt such a strong
connection to characters in a book. It brought me back to the first
young adult fantasy books that I discovered as a teen and I loved every
minute of the story. It caused distractions in the rest of my life
causing it impossible to complete regular tasks such as cooking and
cleaning until I finished reading the story.<br />
<br />
Having
said that, there were times when I was very frustrated with the writing.
Kloss had a tendency to repeat words and phrases within small areas
which detracted from the pure awesomeness of the story. I'm hopeful that
this editing problem will be fixed in future books. Especially since I
now need to purchase all of them in order to find out what happens next
with Daria and Alex.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to have discovered this author and I can't wait to read more.<br />

<b>Review</b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Frostbite is the second book in the Vampire Academy series.
While I picked up the first book because I was in a vampire craze for a short
time, I chose to read this book much later because of how much I enjoyed
reading the first.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If this is the first
Vampire Academy book you’ve ever read, the prologue will help you understand
what’s happened so far in the series. If you’ve read the first book and have any
sort of memory of what happened, <i>skip the prologue</i>. Seriously, don’t waste your
time. I nearly set the book right back down while reading the over explanatory
and poorly written prologue. It was written from the point of view of the main
character, but it was too forced and ended up sounding nothing like the rest of
the book.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happily, the rest of the book holds none of the same
problems as the introduction and delivers a fast pace and engaging read.
Physically, the main character, Rose, is almost perfect with an amazing body
and drop dead good looks. She’s also stronger and faster than most other
people. However, her mental state and her lack of social graces when dealing
with people like her own mother—whom we get to meet in this book!—makes her
character both believable and likable.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The relationships are definitely the strongest part of this
series. While the hierarchy of vampires and the physical fighting are great,
it’s the relationships Rose has with her best friend, mother, boyfriend(s)
enemies and so on that makes me want to keep reading. Having a kickass main
character doesn’t hurt either.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book is highly recommended for people who love to read
about relationships, want a bit of romance, and enjoy the supernatural.</div>

<b>Review</b><br />
<br />
I picked this book up on a whim based entirely on it's cover. Although
part of me really wanted to hate the style of illustration, I was drawn
to it and knew instantly it was a book that I'd enjoy. The back blurb
helped confirm that feeling when I read that it's a new take on an old
fairy tale and there was going to be just a little romance and a whole
lot of humour in there amongst all the action.<br />
<br />
The story is one that most everyone knows, a princess is cursed at birth
to prick her finger and sleep for a hundred years until she's woken by
true love's first kiss. What you might not know is that the princess has
a little sister, Annie, who happens to be completely immune to all
forms of magic, good and bad. When the spell is cast and the entire
castle is put to sleep, it's up to Annie to find the right prince to
break the spell.<br />
<br />
Non stop action fills each page as we're thrown from one fairy tale to
another with ease, including elements from tales such as The Frog
Prince, Hansel and Gretel, The Princess and the Pea and many others.<br />
<br />
There was so many things happening to Annie and her companion for her
journey, Liam, that I occasionally wished for more time to breath within
each stop in Annie's journey. As it was, we barely get a chance to
imagine each setting of the story before we're pushed forward to the
next location and fairy tale.<br />
<br />
The characters were mostly well developed despite the sometimes
overwhelmingly large cast, but they were all outshone by the main
character who's clever wit was very appealing.<br />
<br />
This was a very amusing and entertaining read that contained everything
that it promised; action, humour, romance and a strong heroine. <br />
