Oh what a fabulous read!  I could have kicked myself that I hadn’t read this sooner and am now eagerly awaiting Archenemies!

Im sure you all know this but just to recap, here is the blurb:

Secret Identities. Extraordinary Powers. She wants vengeance. He wants justice.

The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies — humans with extraordinary abilities — who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone… except the villains they once overthrew.

Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice — and in Nova. But Nova’s allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.

 

My Review

Wow that was a fabulous read! I really enjoyed it!

It was like watching a whole series of Heroes but in book form!

Renegades vs Anarchists. Yes!

I loved the main characters, Nova wants the Renegades to go down. And Adrian, a Renegade, wants to find Nightmare……..

It was so fantasticaly written, the beginning I could’ve cried, the middle I was in angst city and that ending!

Bring on the next book! Please!

Title: Flame in the Mist

Author: Renee Ahdieh

 

 

Why oh why did I leave it so long to read this book?

I have no idea!

I fell completely in love with it and need book 2, like now!

 

Here is my review:

This book makes me remember how much I love the written word.

It was beautiful.

Loved Okami

Loved Mariko

Loved the story

Can’t wait to see what happens next!

The story was well paced and just captivating. Mariko’s character development was so well done, no longer the meek ‘yes’ woman, she will fight for her and what she believes in.

And Okami ‘to me you are magic.’ Says it all!

I must admit that I was on the fence about Stalking Jack the Ripper (you can see my review here).

In reality (and this will make me seem so shallow!), there were 2 things that made me read this book. 1 being vampires (!) and 2, Thomas Cresswell!!!!  I simply loved Thomas and I really wanted to know more about him and, more importantly, if he was going to get the girl!

Here is the blurb for Hunting Prince Dracula:

Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper’s true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe’s best schools of forensic medicine…and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.

But her life’s dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school’s forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.

 

Now my obsession with Thomas Creswell is out there (!), take a look at my review:

 

CJR THE BRIT REVIEW

Back in the world of Wadsworth and Cresswell who are hot on the tail of Vlad the Impaler!

I’m not going to sat anything about the plot at all! Apart from the reveal. It was great!

I enjoyed this book more than book 1 and, like SJTR, I love the way Audrey Rose is scandalized at things that today we wouldn’t even bat an eyelid at! I also like that she has grown up a bit in this book and isn’t so naive.

Thomas Cresswell. Oh Cresswell you made this book for me (as he did in book 1!) I mean when a gentleman gasps this out you know he is a keeper ‘I refuse to believe you’ve misinterpreted my affections. I am wholly in love with you.’ Oh Thomas!

 

(Firstly let me apologise for the above graphic – I know its bad but we have had some internet issues and had to grab the time given!!)

 

Well, well, well, what a gem this was!  I had this series on my tbr for a while, I was getting a book every now and then and promising myself I would read…..and then never got round to it!

I added this series to my Beat The Backlist Challenge and then devoured it in a month (along with arc reads I had commitments on!)

I was so glued to this story! I fell in love with Dimitri. Head over heels. Also with Christian and Adrian (although he was a bit creepy at times!) Loved Lissa but did find Rose a bit annoying at times, her decision making process needs work!!

So now I am left feeling bereft. I have finished the series and I want to unread and read it all again for the first time!
