Thrill on 1 June, 2011 - 03:10

Reading Alexander: Vanquish the Night was an absolute thrill. I would consider this story to be in categories along with Harry Potter and King Author. This chilling tale about a young man watching his family murdered in front of him. Alexander doesn't know why and who he should trust. That terrible night changes his life forever and leads him on an epic adventure. He finds the true meaning of loyalty, compassion, and truth from his friends and strangers.
Excellent Book!!!!

I savor the moment when I can sit down and read a fulfilling story. The cover of Alexander: Vanquish the Night is what attracted me to it. I wasn't able to put this book down for a second. I've fallen in love with the book's hero, Alexander. He is driven by the death of his family in search of answers. Alexander will not rest until he finds what he has been searching for. Everyone should check out this enchanting book.

My heart begin to race as the soldiers knocked at the door. I was in suspense, not knowing if Alexander would be caught. I literally wept when Selene and Alexander had to part ways. I was skeptical of whether or not they would see each other again. Lauren K. Pomeroy, the author of Alexander: Vanquish the Night is a captivating writer. She writes on a riveting level. I felt like I was galloping along side Alexander and Alucard. This book will have you mystified and astounded. I recommend that everyone purchase a copy today.

Excellent Book!!! on 25 May, 2011 - 13:52

Alexander: Vanquish The Night is an exhilarating story that dates back to more than a hundred centuries. A young man destined to avenge his parents death.

Shocking twists and turns, take the story spiraling out of control. The young night strangely loses his memory and key pieces to who killed his parents are erased. Mystery, thrill, and suspense are all rolled up into one.

My favorite character in the story is Selene, a very uncanny woman. She holds all the secrets and answers that Alexander has been searching for. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book of romance and adventure. This book can be purchased on Amazon kindle for $4.99, very inexpensive.

Can NOT Wait on 19 May, 2011 - 11:03

I am super excited for this book to come out!!! I discovered it through FB and have not looked back. The cover attracted me instantly but as they say you can not judge a book by its cover. I know the cover is AMAZING but the chapters I have got to preview on the inside have proven to be more attractive than the cover!!! Over all I can not wait for the book to come out. oh and fyi the author herself is amazing!

Amazing book on 15 May, 2011 - 22:23

I stumbled across this book on facebook and just the cover drew me in. (I'm a sucker when it comes to gorgeous book covers.)
I was lucky enough to be given the chance to read this book and review it and boy i wasn't disappointed. Not only is the cover fantastic but what lays inside is too.

I just couldn't put this book down it keeps you on your toes all the way through, your alway wondering whats going to happen next. So many twists and turns, not your average vampire story which is a great change.
The characters are just wonderfully written, and always making you smile and laugh.

Mindy she's just so amazing so easy to relate too, her best friend Markus now he's a hoot i truely loved him he reminded me of my bestie. Can't forget hunky Dean *whistles* he can come protect me anytime! *winks* Who could say no to a hottie in leather and who rides a motorcycle?! *giggles*

I'd recommend this book to anyone and everyone... It would have to be one of the best books i've read this year so far and i can't wait to sink my teeth into the next one cause at the end your left wanting more! I must say I was truely *CAPTIVATED* ;)

I just have to include this little teaser oooo it give's me goosebumps -

I let out a huff and forced a smile. “You’re a vampire.”
I stated.
Dean tilted his chin up and smiled. “I have no fangs.”
He said through his teeth.
I examined the glistening white canines. They were
normal, just like mine. “You retract them when you don’t
need them.” I said.
Dean moved across the table and put his face up to
mine. His mouth was a torturous breath away from my
own. “Then why haven’t I sucked your blood Lina?” He
whispered right before pressing his soft lips against mine.
Then he inched towards my neck and lingered his lips on
my pulse. His soft breathing tickled my skin and triggered
a chill that shot up my spine. My blood jumped to a rush
and began to throb for him. If he were a vampire, I swear
I’d let him suck me. “Why aren’t I biting you right now?”
He whispered. It took everything I had in me not to melt
into the seat and land as a puddle on the ground.

Zero Decibels: The Quest for Absolute Silence

By George M Foy
ISBN10: 1416599592

Soundless wind on 1 April, 2011 - 02:11

"Sound is important to me as a writer. Or at least, the idea of sounds expressed in words, which is thr root and origin of writing, carries heft in my mind. As an investigative reporter I learned to when to chat to put an interviewee at ease, and when to shut up to let him tell the story I was interested in. As a novelist my relationship with words grew closer and more complicated because the shape and rhythm of what I wrote was crucial to the stories I told; I got into the habit of reading what I wrote out loud to make sure the words sounded right. So it is paradoxical, on the surface, that I should now be so focused on the idea of locating total silence.
It is hardly paradoxical, however, that as an early line of inquiry I should look into the word itself."

Foy's journey into exploring silence is a topic I always was interested myself and his discoveries about the subject were enlightening to me.

The Best Laid Plans

By Terry Fallis
ISBN10: 0771047584

The Best Laid Plans on 20 March, 2011 - 10:02

While elements of this book may seem humorous to the point of being ridiculous for some, many people who are bummed out by the political/social/media institutions of Canada will find a strong element of truth to it.

-From pg 61
"The Insanity, the surreal, the bizarre, had officially begun. I sat at my kitchen table, gargling orange juice and wondeing how I'd managed to put myself in this ludicrous position. I was running a phantom candidate, in a cash-strapped campaign we were sure to lose, aided by an ailing octogenarian, her attactive granddaughter, and two pierced punks. Our campaign headquaters consisted of a ready-for-the-scrap-heap Ford rust bucket and a government-owned ce3ll phone. We had no lawn signs, no advertising, no marked voter lists and one cheesy, desktop-published leaflet with no pictures"

As a former resident of Ottawa, I was impressed by some of the details of the city.

-From pg. 166
"I stood aside and let Angus pass into the three-tiered wooden glory of the Library of Parliament. An alabaster statue of Queen Victoria towered over us in the centre of of the circular library. A handful of staff laboured under her benevolent gaze. I fell silent and listened for Angus's reaction. I was rewarded by his sharp intake of breath at the sight of three levels of ornate, wooden shelves, which circled the perimeter of the room, and the arched windows in the domed, sky-lit ceiling. I'd entered that place dozens, even hundreds of times and always felt a slight wobble in my knees as I passed over the threshold."
