After this book, Dan Jones is now one of my favorite history writers. If you listen to the audiobook, he's the narrator, and the dude has a nice voice. This book was a good, comprehensive look at the Templars, and gave a good overview of the Crusades in general.

This book is a perfect combination of The Breakfast Club, Pretty Little Liars, and Gossip Girl. Three of my favorite things all rolled into one and I was there from the first word to the last, I couldn't put it down. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

I really enjoyed this book. The mix of Supernatural in the book made me love it even more!! Great job on this novel!!! I also liked in the acknowledgements how she recognised some of my other favorite authors. It's always cool to see that some favorites are all friends!

This book is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I was very excited when I heard about this book as Persuasion is my favorite of her novels, thank you to Touch My Spine Book Reviews for turning me onto this book! I loved seeing these characters come to life in a new light. I thought the setting was interesting and worked very well in adapting it into a modern time. I must say though that my favorite parts of the book were where it diverged from its source material and made something new. It was certainly successful in taking its inspiration from Austen but also did a great job of creating something interesting and unique. This is a fun romance story that I would definitely recommend.
  
I bought the five book box set from eBay but I plan to review the books individually because that makes the most sense.

To be honest, before this book I wasn't aware Draculaura had a step-mom. I don't believe she's ever mentioned outside this book.

I liked this story. The diaries all follow the same format (used by their later EAH counterparts) Diary entry followed by a third-person chapter and repeat. In the book, Dracula's getting married and the ghouls are visiting Translvaina for the wedding. I give the book MAJOR brownie points because it canonically takes place after Frights Camera Action one of my favorite MH movies. Of course, Draculaura is my favorite character so that helps too.

Overall an enjoyable read.

Book Favorite

"This classic is my favorite book by Murakami. This is about love, longing and regret. It’s kind of sad, but at the same time, it makes you feel alive. It’s the emotional reality of loss."

I've now read this book twice in the course of 2-3 months, which is something I never do. The second time around I found it just as hard to put down. I can't wait until the next book to see if this story remains as engaging. This book is my favorite read of the past year or two by far.
