wish it was a lil bit longer..it's a cliffhanger...and would really urge you to read the next sequel of the book, i can't wait for it... too bad, i thought the stalker, or the lady of the lake(Fake),,,will have more exposes rather than just at the end..and giving us the idea that she is brennen's step sister, and besides her reason was not yet unknown...but then maybe,...it was really meant to be like that,..for the next sequel will answer my many questions..and then the gorgeous Luca,..what will happen to him... good thing, i thought zoe is just her bestfriend, but then it really was a surprising thing that she and her sister is so much more than that...read the book and find out yourself.. and by the way... liam's true character has not yet rally unrevealed..there so much more,..the story is keeping... it was a great book, though only for short read...i wish8x,...it will become a novel... the story is full of twist, unpredictable but still enjoyable... highly recommended..!:D
- Shimmerspell: The Shimmer Trilogy, #1
on July 15, 2011
i purchased the book Limerick-the sequel of shimmerspell through member giveaways program yesterday, but since i haven't read yet the first book, i decided to read first shimmerspell, and i also purchased it since it's free on smashwords... and guess what?! i finish reading it yesterday too.:D honestly, what really lures me to this novella, is the cover of the book, it's really awesome, and it can pique attentions of teens like me... well, the storyline of the book as well as its cover didn't disappoint me.. it's a really new story about faeries this time, and not about vampires which is what really common nowadays... the characters are really cool, though you can just count them, it's really a novella,lol.., it's a really short one, the story is thrilling that's why i never stop until i finish...it's worth everybody's time... i just wish, that maybe it was a bit longer like the twilight saga...i think, if the author keeps up writing like this, and improving the next stories, then this might set the next trend of bestseller books-FAERIES!...i'll be reading limerick tonight...:D highly recommended...

- If You Go Into The Woods
on Aug. 10, 2011
if you go into the woods- though somewhat the title might not pick up your interest,..is a book to look out for... this book actually contains 2 stories of Jiri and Linus... both stories are mind-buggling, thrilling, compelling,...and just freakingly awesome... it has the composition of good and tantalizing words... which would actually lead you on to read and read.. i haven't finish reading the book ,so this review is not final..but one thing for sure..this is one of my favorites... though i read some reviewers said..that..too bad..this story is just too short... but still great

- Fast-Tracked (Book 1 in the Fast-Track Triolgy)
on Aug. 10, 2011
Ms. Rozzlyn is now one of my fav authors.. really she's good in bringing her readers to her story... luring us to her own thoughts and characters.. I have read Verita and it's good too and it's more fiction.. while on Fast-tracked it depicts well..races.. how people are misguided by beliefs about who's superior and who are slaves... like in true life..we always face racial discrimination everyday..maybe not obviously..but still there it is.. the author here clearly relate to us in a novel way.. of what really it's like.. a great book.. can't wait for the sequel if there is one.. A short synopsis from Amazon: Study hard, do well on your assessment, and you’ll be rewarded. The phrase had been repeated throughout Alexandria's life. A person’s ranking on the assessment test determined everything. Their job, where they live, and even who they can marry. At least that’s what Alexandria though before she received the results. Everything Alexandria believed was a lie. fast-trackers run the country. Anger one of them and your whole world could fall apart. Anger one of them and the person you love would suffer. Alexandria was elevated to fast-tracker class while her best-friend turned true love was plummeted to the lowest possible rank– a guaranteed life of hardship and misery. She plunges herself into the fast-tracker world in hopes of helping Byron. But can she help Byron before she completely loses herself to the allure of their lifestyle?

- Love Lust and Petty Crime
on Aug. 10, 2011
A really great book even if i'm still at the middle of the story..! The title of this book "Love, Lust, and Petty Crime" says it all. This is a story about friendship with four people (Jurgen, Voula, River, and Emmet) meeting at an insurance company. All are employed there and all become involved in one way or another. Twisted sisters, twisted brothers, she wants him, he wants the other, but, the characters are interrelated in a really good way..one that makes you think..if this is even possible..but well.,.yah..the author proves it does so... this is a great tongue twister with bends and curves that make you read it to the end to know what will really happen. but then..their friendship and love for each other,,is the only thing that makes them work this mayhem out.. this is a funny book and would make you realize and appreciate life better...
- LilyPad Princess
on Aug. 14, 2011
a cute cute story-probably would make a child awake til the story's end.. i know the story is for children..but adults and teenagers could be lured into it too.. a different twist on the story of "the frog prince" and the "princess and the frog".. the story is well written and easy to understand..a really good one..and the turning events are really shocking..remarkable.. probably when someone ask me the story of "the princess and the forg"..i might say this one..!:D Princess Gwendolyn's life just got very strange. As always, there's Jack, her royal pain of a brother, but add Lily, the frog-turned-princess, and a Royal Ball to find Lily's family, and Gwendolyn is suddenly one busy girl. Now, someone or something, is attacking the castle. Is the kingdom safe, or is Jack right -- does it have something to do with the frogs?

a well-written and fun story...the storyline and theme is really good..another addition to sci-fi fans with a lil bit of humor added.. a really good book..i enjoyed reading the mystery and of course- well really the fascinating traits of Tim Carr and its consequences....the author has shown that he could really develop a story..given a small setting..nice work! After sarcastic lower level crewman Tim Carr sees a light outside the ship, he tries to convince Comm Officer Hanna Merrick that there's something out there besides a dying star. Tim is asked to keep quiet about his discovery, however, because Hanna has a plan of her own, which she'll set in motion after the government causes the star to prematurely supernova. Tim’s feelings for Hanna, and his life, are put on the line when he realizes her plan could cause the elimination of an alien species.
- Shelter (Blood Haze: Book One)
on Aug. 14, 2011
Two guys, one vampire girl, and two dark secrets that threaten to tear her world apart. this is a good book..another twist from common vampire stories..this time the girl is the vampire..and two human boys-human?(find out the secret!) it's a great take on vampire phenomenal--twilight fans-read this book! stories like this tend to get the attention of teen readers..and i'm one of those..a good story and a new one-in it's sense... remarkable and fascinating-a one-read-book! Alice Wright is a young vampire going to high school for the first time at the age of seventeen at the behest of her eccentric mother. In many ways, she's more afraid of the human students than they would be of her. She feels lost and awkward in human society, but she soon develops a strong bond with the cousin of one of her human classmates, nineteen year old Kai. He is beautiful, but somewhat of an enigma. She discovers a dark secret in Kai's life, and she instantly wants to shelter him from the pain that has tormented him all his life. Then she meets Maksim Augustine, the incredibly gorgeous guy who seems more like he should be a model than a high school student. She is overwhelmingly attracted to him physically, but her love for Kai causes her to continually push him away. Eventually, she discovers a frightening secret about Max, too. But Max's secret threatens to destroy everything...
