I loved the Vampire Academy series and held off reading this for ages thinking it might not have grabbed me as much as the other series but you know what? I got really into it! I always find Richelle's story quick and easy reads and this was no exception. If I could have, I'd have read this in one sitting but two long working days back to back ruined that idea and it's taken me four/five days instead.

I can't wait to read the rest of these books!!

3.5 stars.

I got a little lost in the middle but this series is all action, action, action. From pretty much the first page Sara is on a hunt that turns quite entertaining and it didn't stop there.

I am enjoying this series, the whole tarot card thing is different to normal and though I know nothing of it, I'm learning little bits here and there.

Looking forward to reading more of Sara and the Magician, and whatever is currently blooming between them.

Off to start the last book in the trilogy boxset.

WHAAAA--IT CAN'T JUST END AT 96% AND LIKE THAT!! I was expecting it to carry on and for them to kick arse! Oh well, I'll just have to wait for book 3 in the series now wont I. *sigh*

I am still very much Team Roth. It was touch and go for a while but he won out in the battle of the two hotties. Sorry Zayne, but you just haven't got Roth's swagger and you may be sweet but Roth's just plain sexy.

I love this series!

Seven has become totally kick-ass awesome!
Bit frustrating in places (0 more)
I was a bit dubious to begin with, because Picard is such an iconic character and one of my absolute favourites. I didn't want that to be spoiled, luckily I was not disappointed.

Some of the things happening in the series seriously frustrated me - some of the pacing, things that happened with certain characters (Hugh!) and such.

However, despite it being an utter emotional rollercoaster, overall I think the series was excellent!

This series is my guilty pleasure. I shouldn't like it for what it's about but I can't help it. And HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!! What an ending!

This has got to be my favourite of the series so far. The build up throughout this one leading to that ending! OH.EM.GEE! Equally shocked and laughing at the same time :D

Can't wait to read the next one now, giddy with excitement about what's going to happen now most of them are dead and she's going to kill Dornan Ross!

 What's next for Jase and Sammi/Julz?!?!

I bought this for my nieces to read on their joint Kindle to see if they liked the series and I thought I'd give it a go myself. I did read the first book in this series several years ago and enjoyed it but it isn't totally to my taste so I never went any further with it.

It was quick and rather fun. Percy is tasked with fetching one of Apollo's backing singers back from her escape to New York City where she's hoping to go solo.

This was a good start to the series, it's left me intrigued as to what else will happen with Link and his revenge for what happened to Olivia. I'd also like to know where Rocky fits into the story, regarding Link, anyway. Is something going to happen between them? Or is it more about getting justice for her? I'm interested in finding out.

In a way it reminded me of Lili St. Germain's Gypsy Brothers series in the character getting revenge against the people who wronged them and it's my guilty pleasure read currently.

Lucifer is always telling people that he's the devil, but no one believes him! He goes on to consult for the police, and punish those who are guilty. (0 more)
Devilishly Good
Just a great TV series. This one had me gripped from the very first episode. Yes, he is the devil, but not the devil we have always been taught about. This series will take you on highs and lows, following his own suffering and selflessness. Its hard not to fall in love with lucifer. 100% must watch programme 👏👏👏.

When I heard that they were ending Gillen's Vader run in favor of this new run, I was apprehensive. This series, however, doesn't pick up after Gillen's run, which took place between Episodes IV and V.
The series picks up right after Order 66, and Vader's quest for his red lightsaber. Unlike Jedi lightsabers, you don't build it, you kill a jedi, take it, then do some murdering.
This first collection of issues was ok, but I think it suffered from the fact that Gillen's run was so good.
