Shay y Gabriel son polos opuestos. Ella tiene una enfermedad terminal y sabe que pronto morirá. El es un vampiro que vivirá para siempre. El odia su especie. Ella siente miedo de el.

Pero Shay necesita la sangre de Gabriel para sobrevivir. Y Gabriel necesita la pasion de Shay por la vida para redescubrirse a si mismo. Los opuestos se atraen?, tal vez sea cierto para estos dos.

Shay and Gabriel are complete opposites. She has a terminal illness and knows she'll soon be dead. He's a vampire who will live forever. He hates her kind. She's terrified of his.

But Shay needs Gabriel's blood to survive. And Gabriel needs Shay's passion for life to rediscover his own. That opposites attract thing? Definitely true for these two.

Frannie Cavanaugh siempre ha sido algo solitaria. Ha pasado años manteniendo a todos a distancia, incluso a sus mas cercanos amigos. Eso es hasta que Luc Cain ingresa en su escuela. El es guapo, sarcástico y peligroso, y Frannie no puede mantenerse alejada.
Lo que ella no sabe es que Luc tiene una misión. Por que Frannie no s precisamente ordinaria. Ella posee una habilidad tan única, que incluso el mismo rey del infierno la ha notado, y ha enviado a Luc a reclamar el alma de Frannie.Debe ser fácil: Todo lo que tiene que hacer es hacerla pecar, y Luc realmente puede ser una tentación.

Desafortunadamente para Luc, el Cielo tiene otros planes, y él apenas ha tenido algo de progreso cuando el Ángel Gabriel aparece. Gabe hará lo que sea por evitar que Luc consiga su cometido, y su encanto angelical puede ser suficiente para mantener a Frannie por el buen camino.

No pasará mucho antes de que Luc y Gabe estén peleando por algo mas que el alma de Frannie. Pero si Luc fracasa, tendrán que pagar ... todos ellos.

Frannie Cavanaugh has always been a bit of a loner. She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance, even her closest friends. That is, until Luc Cain enrolls in her school. He's hot, sarcastic, and dangerous—and Frannie can't seem to stay away.

What she doesn't know is that Luc is on a mission. Because Frannie isn't exactly ordinary. She possesses a skill so unique that the king of Hell himself has taken notice, and he's sent Luc to claim Frannie's soul. It should be easy: All he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come.

Unfortunately for Luc, Heaven has other plans, and he's just started making progress when the angel Gabriel shows up. Gabe will do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for, and his angelic charm might just be enough to keep Frannie on the right path.

It isn't long before Luc and Gabe find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie's soul. But if Luc fails to win her over, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.

Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, Mackie comes from a world of tunnels and black murky water, a world of living dead girls ruled by a little tattooed princess. He is a Replacement—left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago. Now, because of fatal allergies to iron, blood, and consecrated ground, Mackie is slowly dying in the human world.
Mackie would give anything to live among us, to practice on his bass or spend time with an oddly intriguing girl named Tate. But when Tate’s baby sister goes missing, Mackie is drawn irrevocably into the underworld of Gentry, known as Mayhem. He must face the dark creatures of the Slag Heaps and find his rightful place, in our world, or theirs.

Review of Lament by Maggie Stiefvater.

Lament

by Maggie Stiefvater

Flux

October 2008

325 p

1. Deirdre Monaghan, is feeling sick, nerve-wracking, her musical presentation is about to begin and in front of lots of people, although she knows she is ready for this, fear sick her. And that’s how she meets Luke, the boy of her dreams. After meeting Luke, Dee starts noticing a bunch of weird stuff; also there are these four - leaf clovers that are always appearing everywhere. The Faerie Queen is looking for her, and she wants Dee death. Dee is not going to have a normal summer.
2. It is a beautiful book, with a beautiful cover, the clovers and the sword on the tree shows the Irish touch that is required in a Fairy Tale.
3. Its target is teenagers and young adults; also it is full with fantasy a paranormal romance.
4. Maggie Stiefvater manages to capture ourselves with this story, the content is precise and tidy, we have the touch of mystery but there is no confusion, the narrative is perfect. The scenes are wonderfully described and the characters are well detailed. We can listen perfectly to the Gaelic sounds about which the book speaks. She transports us with images, sounds and smells to an urban world but surrounded by magic and fantasy. And the main characters become part of us.
5. Once I started reading Lament I couldn’t stop, definitely a page turner. I loved it. All the magic and fantasy make this a charming book. It has everything in the exact measure. Romance, mystery, intrigues, fantasy and specially it have Luke, the perfect hero, he like a little of a bad guy, a little romantic, and a wonderful musician, what else can we ask?, handsome you may ask, well he is totally!! Dee is a self-sufficient girl, she is not a weak heroine, and on the contrary she defends herself. And James, Dee’s faithful friend, is graceful and funny and not at all stupid.
6. An awesome book, on of my favorites this year. Can’t wait to read Ballad.
7. Totally recommend it, if you like fairy tales and fantasy surrounded by romance and mystery this book is for you. I give it 5 Crazy Book Cats.

Reseña Lamento de Maggie Stiefvater.

Lamento

Octubre 2008

325 p

1. Deirdre Monaghan, está sintiéndose enferma de los nervios, su presentación musical frente a decenas de personas esta apunto de suceder y aunque sabe que esta preparada, el miedo la pone mal, y es así como conoce a Luke, el chico de sus sueños.
Después de conocer a Luke, Dee empieza a notar cosas extrañas, y de manera curiosa tréboles de cuatro hojas empiezan a aparecer por todas partes. La Reina de las Hadas la está buscando y lo que quiere es acabar con ella. Dee no tendrá un verano normal.
2. El libro es hermoso, la portada preciosa, los tréboles y la espada en el árbol son muy románticos y tienen el toque céltico que se requiere para una historia de hadas.
3. Definitivo, es un libro para adolescentes y jóvenes adultos, y tiene mucho contenido de fantasía y romance paranormal.
4. Maggie Stiefvater logra capturarnos con esta historia, el contenido es preciso y ordenado, tenemos el toque de misterio pero no hay confusión, la narrativa es perfecta. Los escenarios son bien descritos y los personajes son bien detallados. Podemos perfectamente escuchar los sonidos gaélicos de los que el libro habla. Nos transporta con sonidos e incluso olores a un mundo urbano pero rodeado de fantasía. Y los personajes se vuelven parte de nosotros.
5. Una vez que empecé a leer Lamento, ya no pude dejarlo, definitivamente te hace cambiar de pagina constantemente. Me encantó, la magia y la fantasía hacen de este libro algo encantador. Y es justo lo exacto, no tiene demasiado de nada y tampoco le falta nada, tiene romance, misterio, intriga, fantasía y tiene a Luke, el perfecto héroe, un poco chico malo, un poco romántico y hábil para la música. Dee, es una chica, autosuficiente, no es una heroína débil, al contrario busca su propia defensa. Y James el amigo incondicional de Dee, es gracioso y divertido pero no tonto, es ideal.
6. Conclusión un gran libro, uno de mis favoritos este año, no puedo esperar para leer Ballad.
7. Recomendado al cien por ciento. Si te gustan las historias de fantasía y hadas rodeadas de romance y misterio, este libro es para ti. Le doy 5 Crazy Book Cats.

Review: Nice Girls Don't have Fangs by Molly Harper.

Nice Girls don't have fangs

by Molly Harper

Pocker Star

March 2009

1. After being unfairly fired from her dream job, a librarian, Jane Jameson, throws herself to the closest bar to drown her sadness. While leaving it, sad, aimlessly and lets faced a little bit drunk , she walks along the shore of the road with the intention of getting to River Oaks, her house. Nevertheless this one was not Jane's destiny, few fts away; she sees a light truck approaching dangerously her, and later an intense pain and a lot of heat spreading over her body. Jane knows that this is the end, knows that the death hovers slowly on of her, but does not know what is waiting for her later.
2. The book is simple enough and nice and the very suggestive and entertaining, cover is almost a reflection of what the history will be.
3. Believe that this book is directed an adult, but equal hearing, adult young persons also can feel interested parties in this type of reading.
4. Ok, the book is very good, full of humor and sarcasm, the awkward situations in which Jane gets involved, as new vampire, are unusual and crazy. The story is not confused, is probably a bit slow somehow, but there are loose ends, which I grateful very much. The main characters are interesting and well defined, you can see clearly how they are and to listen their voices. Molly Harper is very good creating characters that we can imagine completely. Jane is an adult lady, living alone and going out forward and the book tells us her incidents after having been turned into vampire to be able this way to continue "living".
5. I liked Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs, it is an entertaining book, it made me laugh in many situations, it did not stressed me, the only thing is that there is no mystery, alone certain strange situations that are surrounding Jane's new life, but the discovery from this comes very ultimately, so really I got lost the whole intrigue, let's say that basically the book tells us a bit of how it will be Jane's new life. And though, I repeat, I liked the book, I never felt desperate for reading it; even it took me more than a year finishing it, because there was always a more appealing book that draws my attention.
6. A nice book just to spend a while on it.
7. I recommend it, for sure you will laugh very much, especially with Jane's infamy. I give it 3 Crazy Book Cats.

Reseña de Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs de Molly Harper.

Nice Girls don't have fangs

de Molly Harper

Pocker Star

Marzo 2009

1.Después de ser despedida injustamente de su trabajo soñado, bibliotecaria, Jane Jameson, se lanza al bar más cercano a ahogar sus penas. Al salir, de ahí triste, sin rumbo y aceptémoslo un poco tomada, se va caminando por la orilla de la carretera con la intención de así poder llegar a River Oaks, su casa. Sin embargo este no era el destino de Jane, a los pocos metros, ve unos faros de una camioneta acercándose peligrosamente a ella, y después un dolor intenso y mucho calor extendiéndose por su cuerpo. Jane sabe que este es el final, sabe que la muerte se cierne lentamente sobre de ella, mas no sabe que es lo que le espera después.
2.El libro es bastante sencillo y bonito y la portada muy sugerente y divertida, casi un reflejo de lo que la historia será.
3.Creo que este libro va dirigido a una audiencia adulta, pero igual, jóvenes adultos también se pueden sentir interesados en este tipo de lectura.
4.Ok, el libro es muy bueno, lleno de humor y sarcasmo, las situaciones embarazosas en las que Jane se ve envuelta como nuevo vampiro, son de los más insólitas y descabelladas. La historia no es confusa, es quizá un poco lenta de alguna manera, pero no hay cabos sueltos, lo cual se agradece mucho. Los personajes son interesantes y bien definidos, puedes ver claramente como son y escuchar sus voces. Molly Harper es muy buena creando personajes que podemos imaginar al completo. Jane es una chica adulta, viviendo sola y saliendo adelante y el libro nos cuenta sus peripecias al ser convertida en vampiro para así poder seguir “viviendo”.
5.Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs me gusto, es un libro divertido, me hizo reír en muchas situaciones, no me causo ningún tipo de estrés, lo único es que digamos no hay ningún misterio, solo ciertas situaciones extrañas que están rodeando la nueva vida de Jane, pero el descubrimiento de esto llega muy al final, así que realmente me perdí toda la intriga, digamos que básicamente el libro solo nos cuenta un poco de cómo será la nueva vida de Jane. Y aunque repito el libro me gustó nunca sentí una desesperación por leerlo incluso tardé mas de un año en terminarlo, por que siempre había para mi algo mas que leer y que llamaba muchísimo más la atención.
6.Para mí un buen libro para pasar un buen rato siempre y cuando de verdad tengas ganas de leerlo, por que si no probablemente lo dejes sentado mucho tiempo.
7.Lo recomiendo, ya que seguro reirás mucho, sobre todo con la torpeza de Jane. Le doy 3 Crazy Book Cats.
