Descended by Blood Review

Author: Angeline Kace


Release date: August 26th 2011


Published by: Accendo Press


Edition: Ebook (263 pages)


How I got this: Free for special deal on amazon


Goodreads page

Synopsis:
Brooke Keller is a high school junior who has never spent much time living in one place. She is finally in a town long enough to almost snag the boy of her dreams, until her life is threatened after killing a fanged man in his attempt to kidnap her. Brooke begins a dangerous journey in an effort to find out who is after her and how to stop them. In a world with powerful and prejudiced vampires, Brooke must tap into the side of her that she never knew existed at the risk of losing her life in order to save it.


My thoughts:
When I first got this book I was really excited to read it, it was one of the first books I picked up right away in a long time. This book was such a good read I didn't ever want to put it down. The chapters are fairly short and so is the book only 263 pages long. Making it and easy intimidating read for almost everyone. This book went by really fast for me because of the story line. It grabbed me right away and I loved it all the way through. The main character Brooke was very easy for me to understand her thinking process. She was a character I could get along with and not get annoyed easily by.Everything what brooke was going through made  since to me. For what she was trying to think of herself but also getting stronger was very inspiring. The romance in this book diffidently helped me keep reading this book. It made you want to find out what see was going to do next. I loved the way the action was described with  a lot of detail in it.Made it easier for you to picture it all so easily and made the reading just zoom by. Angeline Kace was very original with all the different terms she used through out the book. She also created another language through out the book which for anyone would be hard to do. It was all very believable and very well organized.The book does end with kind of a cliffhanger which I do enjoy it. I just loved it soo much mostly all I can say for this book is I want more now!

Youtube?

I have been thinking about doing some youtube stuff like maybe doing some imms or maybe some reviews on there. Not really sure though I think it would be a diffident thing to look out for I think I would enjoy it and I just wanted to check and see what you people thought about it? Would you enjoy my blog more because it wouldn't be all reading all the time? Just thought I should share this news to you and see what you thought? :)

Some World of Warcraft Beta News!

They already started to invite people for the beta and it is worth it if you have already had the annual pass. I have got to see first hand on some of the beta stuff already and I think they are still making it easier. They made so that when you level up your new spells are automatically trained.So you don't have to run back an forth. Which I actually do enjoy doing so I am kinda sad. The pandas are super cute but you don't really get to change their faces too much. Just like the patterns on their faces. Anyways I don't wanna give to much away but it is really different. Hopefully the changes won't hurt their customers. Oh and the Pandas are not rip offs of Kung fu Panda, they originally had it in the world of warcraft before the first world of warcraft. So that is my two scents on this whole thing I'll post more on it when your able to.

Wow # 3


This is of course originally hosted by Jill over at Breaking the spine. For this week's pick I chose Skeleton Women by Mimgmei Yip.  This book doesn't come out till May 25th 2012. I am actually really excited for this book it. I think I will really enjoy it anyways here's the synopsis for it.






Synopsis: 
Once upon a time in China, the most beautiful and gifted women were known as “skeleton women”—the ultimate femme fatales who could bring a man to his knees, or to his doom… 
When Camilla, a young orphan girl in Shanghai, is adopted and brought to live in luxury, it seems like a stroke of luck. But as Camilla grows to womanhood, she realizes that her “rescue” was part of gang leader Big Brother Wang’s scheme. Camilla is trained in singing, dancing, knife-throwing and contortion—all to attract the attention of Wang’s enemy, the ruthless Master Lung. 

Forced to become Master Lung’s mistress, Camilla meets two other intriguing women. Shadow is a magician and rival for Master Lung’s affections, while Rainbow Chang dresses like a man and wields power through her incendiary gossip column. Both pose risks to Camilla’s safety and status. But an even greater danger comes in the form of Master Lung’s eldest son, Jinying, who despises his father’s violent lifestyle—but loves Camilla. Only by plotting to eliminate Lung can she make her escape, but at what cost?



What do you think? Do you think it would be a book you'd like to read?

New Very Pretty Xbox 360 Controllers!


Yes new Xbox 360 Controllers!  Woohoo! Let me say they are so beautiful I just wanna go out and buy them right now! They are chrome, yes that's right chrome :) They come in three colors red,blue and silver. Sadly they won't be available till mid may. Sadly so anyways will you get these beautiful controllers?

They are gonna be as much as they always are when new controllers first come out. Its going to be $54.99. I think that's a lot for accessories its almost as much as a brand new game. But they are beautiful and I kinda think they are worth it if you want bad ass wireless controllers.
