Like Max, I inhaled the entire series, it is an age-old love story. Fallen angel troop, a disgraced prince of Hell, falls in love with a pure moon maiden.
The artwork is amazing, it is not perfect in any sense but adds to the allure. I prefer this kind of messy artwork.
This is free on Amazon Prime read but I am going to start saving for the hardcover to buy if/when it releases. It will be great for my collection......more

Short review: I was so hesitant to read this, thinking what if, I can't handle the blood and gore, what if trauma bRating: 5 stars
Trigger: Oh so many!
Short review: I was so hesitant to read this, thinking what if, I can't handle the blood and gore, what if trauma becomes too emotional, what if my stomach doesn't agree with it and I am so glad I threw caution to wind and just read it! and now I am angry that why I have waited so long to read this! Dilemma of typical reader...but now I know what people were talking about, raving about this.
I have never watched a single episode of Dexter series - yes, sue me, I am not happy with myself either but my point is, I even don't know anything about this Dexter character and just imagine the fun I had, going into this series completely blind!
Review in image/gif: Yes, everyone wants to include Dexter gif, but I don't know who the dude is from TV series so here goes nothing... [image]
Recommended: Yes!
Aftermath: (possible spoilers) I know this is not great literature. It is fun, quick fix for a junkie but at this point, I don't even care...Thanks Jayson for bringing this into my radar...
Short review: This is Miami and our poor Dexter is going through some serious drama. HRating: 4 creepy stars
Trigger: This is Dexter, all bets are off.
Short review: This is Miami and our poor Dexter is going through some serious drama. He can't hunt since Doakes is on his tail and someone is selecting people and turning into 'yodeling potato'. This crazy person is playing hangman in very twisted way, I was disappointed this monster's death was so easy. oh Dr Danco...

This is series of 20+ short graphics story collection. Some of them heartwrenching, some heart-melting, some heart freezing... so much love, sorrow, horror, romance and revenge into 1 book. And all the stories are presented in different graphical style...it was so refreshing...some I didn't like and some I absolutely adored but nevertheless it is great collection. ...more
This book was a surprise. I don’t know how did I find it, but it turned out to be great psychological thriller.
It is creepy alright –but it has well This book was a surprise. I don’t know how did I find it, but it turned out to be great psychological thriller.
It is creepy alright –but it has well balanced creepiness if that’s possible.

The frightening factor is there but it wasn't overwhelming - at least for me. However the Disclaimer goes without saying that this is NOT for faint hearted. So, if you haven't read few CSIs, you might want to stay away from this.
This was so different than any another CSI I've read but I enjoyed it regardless. My favorite part was Jasper and Connie.
[image]
So cute! OK, I know that this book is far from cuteness but I really liked them – a lot.
[image]
Connie is not only girlfriend and but also anchor to sanity for Jazz - Connie and Howie both. Like Connie, I also was not very happy with Jasper’s pity parties and just wanted him to stop whining. I was so glad when Connie confronted him and he stopped (finally).
While Jasper’s Dear Old Dad (aka Billy Dent) is locked up, there is another serial killer on loose. And he is admirer of Billy’s work and starts to imitate him
[image]
Now it was up to Jazz to stop him and stop him before it’s too late and hence the ‘hunt’ begins. Though this could be read as standalone, Lyga has definitely planned up to write up next one and I’m definitely going to check it out! ...more
This book is crazy. Crazy. And I’m crazy for loving it!
I loved this book absolutely. The people who know me, or have read my reviews, do know this th This book is crazy. Crazy. And I’m crazy for loving it!
I loved this book absolutely. The people who know me, or have read my reviews, do know this that I don’t fangirl over any book like this. Like EVER. And I don’t give 5 stars easily - I am hard to please person (and I know it!)
But what can I say, it was brilliant, it was perfect, it was…..so much.
Before I go into full fangirling mode on this one, I’d like to put Disclaimer on this book.
[image]
Disclaimer: DO NOT READ this book if
1. You don’t like clichés like angle falls in love with devil or any kind of forbidden love.
[image]
2. You can’t keep up with going back and forth in stories (not multiple POVs but Before/After kind of thing)
[image]
3. You are beginners. Meaning you have started reading English literature recently and don’t have much vocabulary.
This point is not added to discourage anyone but if I have picked up as my first read (instead of Twilight); I’d have dumped this in garbage. No one likes to use dictionary so much while reading such a master piece. I still recommend reading this on kindle where you can quickly look up for a word (which I still had to do – why? Refer to point 4)
[image]
4. You are not familiar with different cultures. I had watched my fare share of ‘Lonely planet’ and Fox travelers to know different cultures but it is impossible to know all and author has used different cultures so flawlessly in this, if you want to get the full impact, you have to know the meaning of the same.
[image]
OK enough of disclaimers then. If you can get ignore all above things and just read it, believe me it would still be amazing!
Here is the thing though, all above mention things are triggers for with me too but I still loved this book, what that says about me?
What exactly I did like in this book?
1. Blue hair
2. Art student
3. Karou (it means Hope I don’t know in which language)
4. Akiva (why did your parents name you Akiva? – Another Akiva had been killed. The name opened up.)
5. Golden eyes
6. Different Chimeras (Issa, Yaasri, Twiga, Madrigal, Brimstone, Chiro, and so many more….)
Before reading: why do I feel guilty about watching the series before reading the book!
After reading: Watching the Netflix series before reading the booBefore reading: why do I feel guilty about watching the series before reading the book!
After reading: Watching the Netflix series before reading the book didn't change how much I liked it, that's something. It is Harry Potter all over again - I watched the movie (only #1) before reading books and I found books to be more. Here the case might be different because it is the crossover between this series and Six of crows. Maybe it's next in line for reading...
Now back to this, I know as soon I mentioned Harry Potter, it is difficult NOT to compare these. But imagine a scenario where Harry is trained by Voldermort, not Albus Dumbledore. ...more

I wish this book only concerned on Anna and would have left Cas's father's killer out of the loop but that didn't happen. Looking forward to reading more in the series and I seriously do hope that Cas and Anna would be together. :D ...more
The Soul Thief - I received a copy from netgalley in exchange of honest review.
It seems that the author likes all paranormal romance stories and triedThe Soul Thief - I received a copy from netgalley in exchange of honest review.
It seems that the author likes all paranormal romance stories and tried to combine following series into one.
The original/main novel and concepts taken from it -
Twilight (The concept of supernatural, Gorgeous and several hundred years old very chivalrous hero, Italian restaurant, romance) Vampire academy (The stupid girl falls in love with her trainer) Vampire diaries (The entire setup of school friends and bad guys using friends to threaten the protagonist)
There are traces of some other supernatural romance as well but maybe I haven't read it all. When I say original - I don't mean other authors have not stolen concepts from older novels but they managed to put something original on their own to create a new mythical world together which isn't the case with this one.
I guess there is trend going on, whether you take Twilight or Fifty shades of Gray - You take an inexperienced teen girl as your protagonist and then introduce her to this new fantasy world and write from her perspective. I guess it worked for most of authors, I doubt it will work here. Also what I don't like is repeating same sentences over and over in novel so reader would be fed up by the time (s)he finishes half of the novel and starts rolling eyes when seeing any of following 3-4th time - it was so ridiculous and hilarious I went ahead and make a list, I hope you find it entertaining -
bile rose up my throat mother of all migraines butterflies in stomach my body weighed a thousand pounds I felt million emotions when looking at him not dating dating I sense a 'but' coming sweet lips (of course his)
The only reason I selected this novel because of cool cover art - it looks pretty isn't it? An entire star for cover work! As for story and character development goes, rest of another start. Total score 2/5.
The only reason I managed to finish it off was it is fast paced and I got curious.
In a nutshell, you can't write a good novel from stealing concept of some other great novels...you have to come up with something original into it. Having said that - best of luck to author for the rest of the series which I won't be reading :))
