Book Blast: Vampire Elite

VEcover
Vampire Elite by Irina Argo

First Published: 7th June 2013
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Series: Prophecy #1

Synopsis: How can you make a choice between saving your people and destroying the one you love?
A millennia-long war between two immortal races is about to come to an end. Long ago, the Vampire Elite began capturing members of another race of immortal beings, the Amiti, forcing them to become their blood suppliers—bloodstock—and locking them in underground cells, where they are treated like livestock. Now, the few remaining free Amiti are making a final attempt to strike back. The Queen of the Amiti has been proclaimed a traitor and executed. Her death makes possible the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna, who becomes the last hope of her dying race.
Arianna totally embraces her mission and is ready to fight for her people to the last drop of her blood but encounters an unexpected challenge—the vampire King Tor. The Amiti Queen and the King of the vampires are drawn into a trap of love where each has to make the ultimate choice: to kill their loved one or risk the extermination of their people.
Vampire Elite is an epic story of a bitter conflict between two peoples, and the effect of that conflict on everyone living in its grip. The characters are driven to love and betrayal, vengeance and sacrifice in a world without easy black-and-white answers.
Based on an ancient Egyptian legend, packed with action and intrigue, Vampire Elite will pull you into the entrancing world of immortals and open new portals into their hidden universe.

Review: Beautiful Disaster


Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1)Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
Published: May 26th 2011
Publisher: Jamie McGuire
Page Count: 437
Synopsis: INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE.Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Review:
2 / 5 stars
"Intense. Dangerous. Addictive." They're definitely a good choice of words for this book, its odd I should say that considering I rated it rather low. I didn't want to put it down, not so much because I was enjoying it but more because I was just left with so much whiplash I wanted it over and done with. I've thought long and hard in how I should tackle this review, but in the end decided to just share the following image of my status up dates as I know they kept a few people entertained.
