Riley is the only girl Demon Trapper in Atlanta and she gets a lot of flak for it, but she doesn't give up. She sticks with it and tries even harder than she might if she were a boy. Some of the men of the Guild are very rude, disrespectful and sexist towards her, but that doesn't slow her down. To read more of my review, click here.

I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this book. I found it refreshing how Jem is dealing with something she did not ask for, but she is not some sort of paranormal being! She is living with a curse everyday. How awful would it be to look into someone's eyes and see the date they will die? It gives me shivers just thinking about it. I could not blame for Jem for not wanting to get close to anyone, even her foster mother. Jem struggles everyday with not getting too close to anyone. Jem is a bit rough around the edges, but you can't really blame her. To read more of my review, click here.

First things first, now that Clary and Jace can truly be boyfriend/girlfriend I was more at ease. Obviously their relationship didn't make me feel sick to my stomach anymore (heh heh). They are as close as ever and things are going great for them. Jace is even helping train Clary how to be a Shadowhunter. However, soon Jace starts to pull away from Clary, leaving her wonder what is going on and why he is behaving that way. Does he still love her? Does he still want her?

Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch. Turns out she is a demon, one of only two in the world, the other being her father. After finding out she is a demon and finding out the boy she was crushing on was an agent for The Eye-a group trying to wipe out all Prodigum, she decides to have her powers removed, a very dangerous procedure that will leave her with marks all over her body. Her father picks her up at Hex Hall and takes her to London for the summer, hoping to persuade her from following through with the Removal. But when she gets to the London countryside she discovers two more demons! What does this mean? How were they made? To read more of my review, click here.

I really enjoyed the setting of this book. I love 1800's England. So different from our time today. I love the way ladies are courted and presented. I love the parties, the gentlemen, the huge mansions...all of which are in this book! The book is through Tory's point of view the whole time, so we only know what she is thinking. We see Tory grow throughout the book, and I really liked that. She goes from a spoiled rich 'Lady' to a brave, courageous woman. To read more of my review, click here.

I have to be honest, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book, since it's all science fiction and X-fileish....however I loved it!

First of all I have to say that I have not yet read the first 2 books in this series, Tantalize and Eternal. That being said right off the bat I was a bit confused, but quickly caught on. The book was very easy to follow without having read the previous two. That is sometimes hard to do, but Mrs. Smith pulls it off! Second, I love Quincie! She is such a strong female character! She is running her parents restaurant, dealing with becoming a vampire and fighting her emotions over her best friend and true love, Kieren. To read more of my review, click here.
Very good book. I have read. I much prefer a different book. The "Storm and roses". I really love this book.
