The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4)The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sydney and Adrian…Adrian and Sydney. I generally do like switching point of views in books and this was no exception. In the beginning (VA days) I didn’t warm to Sydney but this series has totally turned me. I am now a big fan. And while I was always an Adrian fan, this series has just made me love him even more. I just can’t get enough of him and Sydney!!
This book has been my fave in this series, along with all of the Adrian and Sydney, we also got to see all of the regulars…. Jill and Eddie, Angeline and Trey were back, Mrs Trewinger and even some appearances of the old VA gang. Sydney’s alchemist sister Zoe is a large player in this story and I am holding out some hope for her to do something special in the next book.
The thrills and adventure were there, the mystery and intrigue had its place and there was also the fun and good times. And did I mention I love Adrian and Sydney.
Oh sigh…… now it is over again, time to go back to waiting for the next book.

Origin by Jennifer Armentrout

Origin (Lux, #4)Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Daemon and Katy are back – ready to fight off everything that is thrown their way. These books are such a fun read – lots of action and lots of swoon with a bit of humour and intrigue thrown into the mix. Each and every one of the ‘Lux’ books has an awesome ending, leaving me to sigh heavily and utter the words ‘WTF – did that really juts happen’….. and this one didn’t disappoint. As usual, I am now left waiting in anticipation for the next one!

Insurgent (Divergent, #2)Insurgent by Veronica Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Divergent so much that I was waiting and waiting and waiting for Insurgent to come out, and because I think that Veronica Roth wrote such an excellent book with Divergent, I was never worried that Insurgent wouldn’t be as good…..and I am happy to say that I loved Insurgent just as much.
I listened to this one on audiobook and it was great. There were so many different things going on, so many characters returning from Divergent that I grew so much closer to, many people dying, many people showing their true colours and loyalties. There was so much action, so much adventure and still loads of thoughtful and serious discussions between characters. And then there were Tris and Tobias. Ahh Tobias, gosh I love him so. As with the first book, Tobias couldn’t do a thing wrong in my mind and sometimes I could almost visualise his heart bursting with love for Tris. And good ole Tris, still a very independent girl who does what she believes is the right thing to do (I did have a few exclamations of ‘Oh Tris, don’t do that..just tell Tobias the truth and he will help you…’ but I am a bit of a ‘shining knight comes along to save the day’ kinda girl. And in the end I felt that Tris and Tobias’s relationship was solid, real and full of everything it should be.
And that ending…wow..I really didn’t see that coming and after picking my jaw up off the floor, I sighed with anticipation for book 3.

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Obsidian (Lux, #1)Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okey Dokey then, so Jennifer L Armentrout is definitely an author that I can read if I want to get my swoon on! I have really enjoyed her other books as fun and exciting reads and Obsidian didn’t disappoint. I really liked the female MC, Katy – she is funny, loyal, brave, snarky..just like a typical teenager! And Daemon, without giving it too much thought (it is just a fun and exciting read after all), he is so swoon-worthy it was enough to make steam blow out my ears!
This was just the kind of book that I was looking for, there was a great story line with twists and turns, action and adventure, some laughs and some swoon. Nothing too difficult to think about but just a good book to sit back and flip through the pages quicker and quicker to get to the end….and now I really want to read the second book …reviews I have read lead me to believe that it is even better (and smokin’ hotter) than Obsidian!

Obsidian, 55% of the way through (thanks Kindle)
“Using his hands, he lowered himself slowly. There wasn’t an inch of space between our bodies. Air fled my lungs at the contact of his bidy against mine. He was male and ripped in all the places I was soft. Being this close to him was startling, causing an array of sensations to zing through me. I shivered. Not from the cold, but from how warm and wonderful he felt. I could feel every breath he took, and when he shifted his hips, my eyes went wide and I gasped.
Oh yeah, certain stuff was definitely working.”

Fated by Sarah Alderson

FatedFated by Sarah Alderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very Good! This was a fun, exciting, and (eventually) swoony read! I loved Sarah Alderson’s book, ‘Hunting Lila’ and remember reading it in almost one sitting. ‘Fated’ was very similar. It was easy to read, I connected with Evie and I swooned for Lucas. There was a fair bit of action and just enough witty banter to make me happy. The swoon didn’t come until towards the end of the book but when it did come, it was worth the wait!

The history of ‘The Hunters’ was also interesting and added something a bit extra to the story..but then I do love a good old ‘Hunter vs Demon’ story!
