Archangel's Enigma by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Enigma by Nalini Singh is the eighth novel in the Guild Hunter series. As a fan, I am excited to say that it will be available to purchase in paperback and kindle format September 3rd 2015. *Jumps with glee!*
Unlike most of the novels, this is not to be told from Elena's perspective, but from Nassir, one of Raphael's seven.
Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former Archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him. For only he possesses the tracking skills required—those more common to predatory animals than to man.Enlisted to accompany Naasir, Andromeda, a young angelic scholar with dangerous secrets, is fascinated by his nature—at once playful and brilliant, sensual and brutal. As they race to find the Sleeping archangel before it’s too late, Naasir will force her to question all she knows...and tempt her to walk into the magnificent, feral darkness of his world. But first they must survive an enemy vicious enough to shatter the greatest taboo of the angelic race and plunge the world into a screaming nightmare…

Eden Dwellers by Samara Delcourt
New Release!!!!
I have yet to read this, but it's definitely on the To Read List. It sounds like a unique read and as a fan of fantasy, I am looking forward to this.
Adam and Eve were not the only ones to be created and cast out by God. 13 lived together in Eden and all were banished for eating the forbidden fruit and unknowingly gifted with an extended life.
An immortal life.
Still, it didn't take long for their treason to be discovered. The punishment for disobeying and as a price for their stolen immortality, was to work off their debt by fighting on the side of good; so they became warriors.
But before Eve could be released, chaos broke out, turning dwellers against each other and leaving them divided when she could finally return home.

Archangel's Enigma by Nalini Singh
This is the next book that in the Guild Hunter series that Nalini Singh is working on. There's no official UK cover as of yet, but we do have a pretty awesome description which I will obviously share with everyone.
ARCHANGEL'S ENIGMA
Naasir is the most feral of the powerful group of vampires and angels known as the Seven, his loyalty pledged to the Archangel Raphael. When rumors surface of a plot to murder the former Archangel of Persia, now lost in the Sleep of the Ancients, Naasir is dispatched to find him.

Archangel's Shadows by Nalini Singh
So, this is the seventh instalment in the Guild Hunter series. I haven't had the opportunity to read it for myself as of yet, but I'll definitely be picking it up at the first opportunity. *Laughs*
It's around my house somewhere, but with moving back and forth from University, I'm not entirely sure which book case it's hiding in.
For us UK fans, this book was released in November and Ms Singh is already working on the next instalment. It's all very exciting!
It's around my house somewhere, but with moving back and forth from University, I'm not entirely sure which book case it's hiding in.
For us UK fans, this book was released in November and Ms Singh is already working on the next instalment. It's all very exciting!
In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially not a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot - should not - be walking the streets. This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves...
Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there's one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash's secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both.

Writing my first book
When you start your own writing, no one expects it to be easy.
But it is enjoyable.
I find myself to be proud of what I have accomplished, even if it turns out to be complete garbage- which fingers crossed it won't- but as the page amount grows, I find myself eager to reach the ending.
Because I believe that I can and I want to share my imagination with everyone.
That's what writing a book is. It's sharing a little piece of yourself with whoever reads your work. Giving themselves a glimpse of what kind of person you are.
So I find myself at a crossroads.
I want desperately to share my book with everyone, but exposing myself to the possibility of being judged and found wanting... It's quite nerve wracking.
So I cling to the hope that some might actually enjoy what I write. That thrill is what I live and continue to write for.
So maybe as things progress, I can share my work on here.
It's all about those baby steps.

PETA: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals!
I know this isn't book related, but I received some mail through the post today from PETA describing the atrocities that are occurring in China. I almost don't want to share this as it sickened me to my core, but it has to be stopped. And the only way we can do that is by raising awareness and letting the foul acts of others been known to the world so they can be stopped. And the poor creatures harmed for profit and vanity, can be saved.
Thousands of dogs and cats are being used for their fur. Stolen and starved they are then shoved into crammed cages where they then make the tortuous journey to their final destination. Then for the sake of saving a few pounds, they are killed in the most inhumane ways imaginable. Water forced down their throats until they drown, skinned alive and left on the side lines to die. All for a collar full of fur.
It's sick and completely unjustifiable.
Though the story is a sad one, it needs to be told. Otherwise how else can these sick acts be stopped and other potential victims be saved from having to experience this Hell.
Beauty. Pain.
Shedding tears a second too late.
Anger. Shame.
The finger pointed with justified blame.
Fear. Redemption.
Helping in the form of voice and donation.
Protests. Jeers.
Yelling truths for the world to hear.
Action. Laws.
Saving the lives of animals we adore.
Right. Wrongs.
Making the world a safer place to belong.

Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did.

Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.
While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies.

Poem: Girls who read by Mark Grist
Sorry for the radio silence, everyone! Even though I love it, College still continues to be chaotic and leaves me with hardly any time for myself- and in this case, time to write posts but I'll try and make more time.
I'm currently studying poetry in my English lesson right now-and knowing how much I love to read, as we all do- my teacher decided to show me this one, even though it didn't relate to our lesson, just in case I liked it... and I did!! *winks*
Sorry to any guys out there who read this and feel a little left out...well then again it could be very enlightening for you!!

He crows, lifting a lager to his lips
Gestures where his mate sits
Downs his glass
“He prefers tits
I prefer ass.

Who feeds her addiction for fiction
With unusual poems and plays
That she hunts out in crooked bookshops for days and days and days
She’ll sit addicted at breakfast, soaking up the back of the cornflakes box
And the information she gets from what she reads makes her a total fox
Cos she’s interesting & unique
& her theories make me go weak at the knees

A girl who’s eyes will analyse
The menu over dinner
Who’ll use what she learns to kick my ass in arguments
so she always ends the winner
But she’ll still be sweet and she’ll still be flirty
Cos she loves the classics and the classics are dirty
So late at night she’d always have me in a stupor
As she paraphrases the raunchier moments from the works of Jilly Cooper

See, some guys prefer asses
Some prefer tits
And I’m not saying that I don’t like those bits
But what’s more important
What supersedes
Is a girl a with passion, wit and dreams
So I’d like a girl who reads.

It's awesome, you'll love it!

Its gonna make him hard to love ... unless she's equally as bad

House of Night 11 & 12 by P.C. and Kristin Cast
Is it possible that the next two books in the House of Night series already have titles?
I mean, its not all that surprising, Richelle Mead did the same with her Bloodlines series.
Anyway... I have the two titles here, not much is known about them yet but it wouldn't surprise me if the next book came out next year rather than this one, who knows.
Here they are, guys!
What do you think they could mean? *evil laughter*
Ooh... Stay tuned.
