Image
BALTHAZAR BY CLAUDIA GRAY EXPECTED PUBLICATION: MARCH 6th 2012 (taken from  Goodreads ) Haunted by memories from his first days as a vampire, Balthazar has spent hundreds of years alone—without allies, without love. When he emerges from his isolation to help Skye Tierney, a human girl who once attended Evernight Academy, Balthazar has no idea how dangerous it will be. Skye’s psychic powers have caught the attention of Redgrave, the cruel master vampire responsible for murdering Balthazar and his family four centuries ago. Having learned of Skye’s powers and the remarkable effect her blood has on vampires, he plans to use her for his own evil purposes. As they stand together to fight the evil vampire, Balthazar realizes his lonely world could finally be changed by Skye...just as Redgrave realizes that he can destroy Balthazar once and for all by taking her for his own.   In a story filled with forbidden love and dark suspense, one of the most beloved characters in Claudia Gra

It’s been like forever since I realized I had a deeply maybe even~clears throat~a little worrysome obsession with Fantasy YA books, sure there are tons and tons of YA books to choose from but in the end, who doesn’t like a really good dose of Faery along with some vamps in it right? But just to make it clear Fantasy genre being my obsession doesn’t necessarily mean it’s my favorite. I just find it hilarious, enjoyable, and frankly? One of the best inventions in YA EVER! So why, you ask is Alba ranting and ranting about Fantasy this day? I just remember how when you’re a kid everything is possible you know, you wished to be whatever you wanted, if you said you would be an astronaut everyone said “Aww, sure you will,” or you said you wanted to be a princess, everyone said you would & COULD. Everything was possible and within reach just because of your imagination; but while you start growing up you realize that some things just aren’t meant to be true, and YA Fantasy is the ONE rul

    -- This is the secret of stars , I tell myself.  In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you .-- A little~no spoilers~ about the book, Beautiful and terrifying setting.  Plot filled with tons of lies, craving for power, the sadness of ignorance, the peacefullness of dying, the beauty of stars, the need of love, and the fear of tomorrow. With trully believable characters Beth Revis has taken me to another world~metal one~ complete with all the things in a story that I love. This was my first sci-fi book; reviewing, reading,etc. and I don't regret loving it one tiny bit.
