Daylighters (Morganville Vampire Series #15) 

by Rachel Caine

My journey has ended, I can't believe it. It's been an incredible, lengthy journey in which had out done my expectations and enjoyed immensely. I fell in love with the Morganville Vampire Series all them years ago, away on holiday buried into Glass Houses. I may of hoped for Claire to go for Michael at first then swallowed my hope and egged on Shane throughout the whole of the series. I loved everything about it. Well of course it's a light- not so light series, vampires of course. But it's a story of a town full of well... Morganville. 
Daylighters may of started off, well strangely and annoyingly by the hellhound scenario, however as the story went on it was the correct way to end such a long series. The plot twists, towns rights, more fighting, death and well...biting, it was a job well done to Rachel Caine. The final ending was beautifully, elegantly perfect for each protagonist. Claire and Shane's rightful happy ending, finally! Eve and Michaels re-marriage in human situation. It was a perfect way to show how Morganville is.
If you have any passion or interest in the young adult paranormal genre, this book series is the one to pick up. It may seem an easy read and one to pass on by the first book but as most series do, this one is one to finish. Hand's down my favourite book series.

The Beautiful and the Damned by Jessica Verday

The Beautiful and the Damned

by Jessica Verday

After completing The Hollow trilogy which I very much fell in love with, another book that featured the beloved Caspian and Abbey was one to read. At first I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy this novel, however it greatly surprised me. I loved it. It shown a different side to Jessica Verday's novel's. Firstly, the characters characteristics were incredibly different from what is usually portrayed. Cyn's tough girl act, swearing frequently and entire different image was a strange taking for the protagonist. However, as the narrative set out a new conquest of Cyn's journey I became to like her bad-ass charisma. On the other hand, Avian 'Thirteen' is that typical bad boy, hottie who isn't human but half demon and angel. I loved this take onto the supernatural genre, the romance is still given and even the connection to The Hollow trilogy. Incredibly, thrilling supernatural romantic narrative.

4.5/5 stars

Ruined (book 1) by Paula Morris

Ruined (Book 1)

by Paula Morris 

Ruined is a beautiful, interesting, intriguing mysterious novel. I loved the way this novel reaches out and draws you into the life of Rebecca's new life and to come in contact with the theme of Day of The Dead.

Rebecca's life changed from how she knew it when she embarked on a new life as she was shipped to live in New Orleans to fulfil a unknown prophecy to Rebecca's knowledge. Lisette is introduced, a young black girl in tattered clothing shocked to meet Rebecca as she is visual to her. Lisette's supernatural ways include her tragic story of her death and the curse that haunts the higher social classes of New Orleans. The book flicks between mentions of different eras setting you in a 18th century town that is old fashioned and left to rot after Katrina struck. It's inclusion of a number of different themes; death, revenge, friendship, family and social class intrigue you into wanting to read more!

If you are one for the supernatural genre and love anything dark romantic, even minus all the romance (there is still some!) Paula Morris has done a superb job in creating a mysterious prophecy ridden novel, which carries on into a series. Absolutely thrilling and incredible story.
