The Longest Night(Drake Chronicles #6.5)

 

The Longest Night Summary:Since the Blood Moon battle six years ago, Lucy, and her hot vampire boyfriend Nicholas Drake, have kept the peace between the vampires of Violet Hill and the Helios-Ra hunters. But breaking up fights between rogue hunter Aggie and irresistible rebel Callahan is proving a big challenge; Aggie just can’t accept that behind Cal’s burning blue eyes, he is in control of his bloodlust. As Lucy’s best friend and Nicholas’s sister, Solange, return home for the group’s Winter Solstice celebrations, Aggie struggles to admit the real reason she finds Cal a threat – and risks far more than her heart . . .

The Longest Night Review:
After saying she would not write another book, Alyxandra wrote another one for the series. Although the book was so short, it was still action packed and a wonderful installment to the Drake Chronicles. Although, I did like Cal and Aggie, I preferred seeing Solange, Nick and all the others. Also, Hunter and Quinn are engaged after years of dating. I was sad that more of the other brothers weren't mentioned much or any of the adults. I honestly loved this book and was happy that this book was created. I am really hoping for a Lucy series now. Five stars once again.

Field Guide to Vampires(Drake Chronicles #1.5)

A Field Guide To Vampires Summary:
Every new recruit to the Helios-Ra Society is issued this guidebook, with secrets to the inner workings of the League the vampires they are hunting. But when new recruit Lucy Hamilton gets her hands on a copy, she can’t contain her inner snark-especially because she has first-hand knowledge of the various vampire societies that sometimes contradicts the conventional wisdom of her new academy.

A Field Guide To Vampires Review:
What a quirky little book. It could have been a novel actually with just a couple more pages. It was absolutely hilarious and definitely made my mood much brighter. It was already fun with just the handbook but with Lucy's comments in there as well. it was too funny. I really think it was one if the better books in the series. Definitely a five star!

Corsets and Crossbows (Drake Chronicles #0.1)

Corsets and Crossbows Summary:
Rosalind Wild thinks it's time for the Helios-Ra to give full membership and recognition to the female descendants of the society-after all, it is 1816 and it's time to make room for new traditions. When Rosalind interrupts a plot to assassinate the leader of the Helios-Ra, she sees an opportunity to prove her worth. But she never expected the assassin to be someone so irresistible, and off-limits. Written as a series of letters to a close confidante, this exciting e-novella gives a glimpse of the early days of the vampire hunting society as seen through the eyes of Hunter Wild's feisty ancestor.


Corsets and Crossbows Review:
I really didn't expect to like this book as much as the full books in the series or even the other novellas. That was mainly because the whole book was written in diaries and for some reasons authors can't do those properly.  The book was exciting from beginning to end and I didn't want to put it down. I was happy that the book was that good. Also, a big secret was revealed about the Wild's family.  The secret brought a new view on how Hunter is and is kinda ironic considering how Caleb was with vampires. Really insightful just like Lost Girls! A wonderful read is one of the better short stories I've read. 

Defiant (Chronicles of Nick #6)

Defiant Summary:
Zombies, demons, vampires, shapeshifters— another day in the life of Nick Gautier– and those are just his friends. But now that he’s accepted the demon that lives inside him, he must learn to control it and temper the very emotions that threaten the lives of everyone he cares for. Something that’s hard to do while trying to stay off the menus of those who want his head on a platter. And no one wants him more than the dark gods who created his race. Now that they know where he is, they will stop at nothing to reclaim him. And without knowing it, Nick has just embraced the one person he should never have trusted. The one person who will hand him over to his enemies to get back the life they lost. Nick has finally accepted his fate, now he must learn to defy his destiny, and the dark, deadly forces that will stop at nothing to destroy everyone he loves so that they can again return to the world of man and own it.

Defiant Review:
It's officially. There's a sixth book for the Chronicles of Nick!!. I can't wait and this will help bring the Dark Hunter series and Chronicles of Nick together. Unfortunately, we have to wait a whole year for this book, but it is going to be worth the wait. Getting a major heart attack over this!!! No cover yet! Even though it's not out yet, it's gonna be awesome!

A Killer First Date (Drake Chronicles #3.5)

A Killer First Date Summary:
Nicholas and Lucy have known each other for most of their lives, but now that they've finally admitted their feelings for each other, Nicholas wants to take her on their official first date-away from all the life-and-death drama that has surrounded them lately. Is it too much to ask for just a fun double date at the local carnival with his older brother, Quinn, and Quinn's new girlfriend, Hunter?

A Killer First Date Review:
A e-novella in the Drake Chronicles, it takes place right after Out for Blood. The First official date for Lucy and Nicholas, Quinn and Hunter, everything is supposed is to be peaceful going to a simple carnival. Unfortunately for them vampires will never leave them. A small action packed, romance filled short story. Fit into the Drake Chronicles. It was a nice side trip away from the doom and gloom of the series as we got to just enjoy a few humor-filled scenes. Wonderful as always!

Fast & Furious 6

Going into this movie, not having watch the previous ones in the serious. I was a little confused with how the movie begin. This lead me to not enjoy the movie as much since I wasn't sure who was who and what was supposed to have happened before this. Also, the movie dragged a bit in the beginning. Luckily, by the second half, the action had ramped up tenfold and I could enjoy a classic action movie. The car racing, explosions and fights were used to perfection and I hope that the last movie is the same with it's action sequences. While the action good, everything else lagged behind. I give this movie a 3 stars. Hopefully the last movie will be a lot better.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first installment of the trilogy for the Hobbit. The original Hobbit is only a 300 page book, butt because the movie is also adding the book the Silmarilion, the movie is now a trilogy. The Hobbit starts of at a slow pace with a lot of story telling and you see the flash back into the Fellowship of the Ring. After the first half an hour, the movie really picks up and loyalties are tested. There were many differences from the movie to the book. They changed the appearances of some of the dwarves and omitted some stuff and changed up the rest. Even though all this happened, I really loved this movie. I usually don't like when a movie is different from the book, but this was just epic and awesome that I couldn't care less. My favourite character was Kili and I liked how he reminded me so much of Legolas who was my favourite from the Lord of the Rings. I didn't even feel the three hours go by and hoped the movie would have been longer. The scenes were absolutely breathtaking and I couldn't believe that some of that stuff was fake. The graphics in this series was a lot better than in the Lord of the Rings. When I read the Hobbit, it wasn't that interesting, but when I watched the movies I fell in love with it. I give this movie a 5 star review.

Frozen

Frozen is the latest installment in the Disney princesses line up for films. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. Even though the movie is meant for young people, anyone can watch and enjoy this movie. I loved each and every character, and like the humour that they brought to the table. Olaf was my most favourite character because not only was he so clueless it was funny, he was a talking snowman. I have watched every Disney princess movie and was hoping this wouldn't be a disappointing and I was glad I wasn't. I enjoyed the songs in the movie, because it was still the same as a classic Disney film and was happy that it hadn't changed. This wasn't a classic princess movie for a reason, which I can't say because of spoilers. The ending was good and a well deserved ending. There won't be any need for a sequel, but I would have liked something to happen for Elsa. It was refreshing to wash something so innocent after watching movies like the Grudge and Fast and Furious 6. I can't wait for the nest movie to come out. I give this movie a 5 star review.
