Book: Destined

I finished Awakened Saturday morning. It took me just a little over a week to read! It was really good. I'm got the last book of this series Sunday afternoon and started it last night. I'm excited to see what happened and how it ends!

Destined

Brief summary of this book:

In Destined, the forces of Light and Dark collide as their epic struggle focuses on Tulsa’s House of Night. Zoey is home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side – and preparing to face off against Neferet. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx’s gift of a human form, he and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if Rephaim can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father’s shadow.

But is Zoey really safe? Does she truly know those who are closest to her? And will love win when it is tested by the very soul of Darkness? Find out what’s destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.

Hopefully this book won't take me long to read. I already know the next series I want to start and I'm very excited about it!

Book: Awakened

I finally finished Burned of the house of night series. Monday I went out on a search for Awakened the next book in the series. I finally found it after checking 3 different stores. LOL

This is the first book of 2012 I will be reading.

Awakened

 Summary of what this book is about:

Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over her immortal consort Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…

And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?

In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

I believe there is 1 book left in this series and I will be done with it.

I'm also reading another book. This is a photography book I got a couple months back.

Lighting Digital Field Guide



Book: Burned

I'm almost done with the House of night series that I started a few months back. I took a little break with reading these book so I could read some of my photos books I have gotten. I'm still currently reading my Sony DLSR A200 - Digital Field Guide that I got, but I'm also started ready the next book that I needed for this series.

Burned



Summary of what this book is about:

Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, human, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.

Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.

I'm going to be sad when this series is over. I have 2 books left and I will be done. Then I will have to decide what books I want to start reading next.



Books: Tempted

It's been awhile since I posted about what book I am reading. The last time I posted was when I was reading The Digital Wedding Photography Book for the upcoming wedding I was going to shoot. I'm sad to say that I will no longer be shooting the wedding. I was almost done with this book when they decided they no longer needed me for the wedding. So, I decided to stop reading this book for now until maybe another day I can shoot a wedding. I want to read this book before shooting a wedding so everything is fresh in my mind.

So, I decided to start back reading on the House of Night Series I started a few months back. I like this book but I will say it's not my favorite out of the first 5 I have read. I'm reading this one a little slower but I'm hoping they will pick back up.

Tempted

Tempted Summary: So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang.
Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal.
Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul?



Book: Hunted

And yet again I have started a new book! :) I have started book #5 of the series House of Night. I can't believe how fast I have been reading these books, but I'm so into them I can't put them down. I just go this book on Sunday and I'm already on chapter 10! I will be done with this book in no time at all.

Hunted

Here's a summary of what this book is about:

What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you? At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey’s friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren’t Neferet’s secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn’t want to hear and truths she can’t face?



Books: Chosen & Untamed

As you may reminder I have started reading a new book series called The House of Night . I have really enjoyed reading this series. There are 9 books total to this series and I'm already on book #4! It has just been over a month since I started the first book. I have been so addicted  to them it's crazy! They are really good well as least I think so. :)

I finished book #3 over the weekend and realized I never shared that I started reading it. LOL Oops.

Book #3 is called Chosen

Brief summary on what this book it about:

Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare situation of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely affects the truth…

Over this past weekend I bought book #4. I'm really looking forward to this book! They just keep getting better and better and much harder for me to put down.

Book #4 is called Untamed

Brief summary of this book:

Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you. Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. Speaking of friends, of the two Zoey has left, one is undead and one is unMarked. And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey’s adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wld and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened.

If anyone is looking for a good series to start reading and are into vampyre's I highly suggest this series!



Book: Betrayed

I have finished my book Marked and I have started the next book in the Series called Betrayed. The first book I really enjoyed so I'm anxious to read more of this series. This series is made up of 9 books so I have a lot of reading ahead of me. :) I just started this book yesterday and I'm already on chapter 8.
I was able to do a lot of reading yesterday because we were at the hospital. My husband's dad was having a single bypass so we were up there while he was in surgery. It was a long morning but all is well and he is doing good. :) So thankful everything went good with no problems.

Betrayed

Just an overview of what this book is about.

Zoey, High Priestess in training, has managed to settle in at the House of Night and come to terms with the vast powers the Vampyre Goddess Nyx has given her. Just as she finally feels she belongs, the unthinkable happens: human teenagers are being killed, and all evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves.

I'm really enjoying this series so it shouldn't take me super long to finish it up.



Book: Marked

I have decided to start reading a new series of books. I don't do much reading but when I find something I really like I can't put it down. It's very hard sometimes for me to get into a book it has to be very interesting to me. I really enjoyed the Twilight Series so I decided to check out this new vampyre book series. I have read a few others by Nicholas Sparks that were romance ones and I really enjoy his books as well.
I just bought the first book last weekend and started reading it. So far I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I can read lots more this weekend.

Marked

Here's an overview of what this series is about....

House of Night is a thrillingly engaging book series that follows 16-year-old Zoey Redbird,
who gets “Marked” by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the “Change” into an actual
vampyre. She has to leave her family in Tulsa and move into the House of Night, a boarding
school for other fledglings like her.

It’s within the school’s walls that the heart of the action takes place as Zoey meets new friends,
finds love, comes to terms with how her life will be different now and begins to realize her
awesome new powers.

Here’s the deal though: Yes, Zoey’s a vampyre now. But she’s still a teenager – with all the
humor, angst and confusing feelings any other teenager has.
