Sofia | 5 comments Lol, I recommend Blue Blood Series by Melissa De LaCruz, amazing books, especially if you like the mortal instruments.

The Memphisto Covenant is also really good, by Trinity Faegen, if you're inyo the whole paranormal romance.

One of my favorite series is the Die for Me series. At first I was doubtful about it, but I fell in love with it from the first chapter. it's super creative, not just usual boring twilight stuff. the heroine is bold, practical, and strong, and overall it's a great series, I promise you will love it if you like the paranormal romance/adventure books.

All books by Lauren Oliver are amazing, she is such a deep writer, they will permanently influence you. they're not about paranormal powers, but more dystopian, and they are LIFE CHANGING


message 5: by Renee (new)

Sarah | 12 comments REBECCA and AMY, my fellow angel addicts. If you haven't yet read Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days, #1) by Susan Ee , drop whatever you are doing and read it now!!!!!! I promise you will love it!!!!
Also, Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor is awesome. A bit big and difficult to get into but amazing nonetheless!

Both are on my "to read" shelf, but I'll have to finish Bloodlines, then The Fault In Our Stars, first. After that, I PROMISE I'll read it :D and I'll make Daughter of Smoke and Bone my next series after that

Oh! Yeah I've read the first two books but I didn't really like it (no offense!). I think the main thing that I didn't like was the romance - it just kinda seemed... shallow (please don't kill me!!!). I was pretty fine with it until (view spoiler) I'll probably give the series another go sometime (I really want to like the series, I just don't think I will :P)


message 23: by Renee (new)

Renee Yeah the first one is a bit like that, but please please please just start from Emblaze because then stuff starts to get real and oh god it's amazing! Yeah the first one is a little... iffy but it was her first ever novel and the idea was just awesome, the second one at the end and the battle was epic. When you read Emblaze and Endless and when it finally comes out Empower, let me know! :D


message 24: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments Ok I'll give it another go, but it'll have to wait until after Bloodlines, TFIOS, Angelfall and Daughter of Smoke and Bone :D


message 25: by Renee (new)

Renee yes I understand. I have so many books to read that I promised I'd read before the end of the year and I think I'm going to fail my goodreads reading challenge this year. :(
oh well


message 26: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments Don't worry yourself too much about the challenege - I know it's your reading goal, but between school and other stuff, it can sometimes be hard to find time to read (which is sooooo annoying - if only my homework was to read an awesome novel of my choice *sigh*)


message 27: by Renee (new)

Renee yeah. Well I promised myself I'd finish Divergent tonight. So I can read Insurgent for the first time then read Allegiant when it comes out next week. :D


message 28: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments ARGHMAHGAWD *fangirl scream* ALLIEGIANT!!! SOOO keen for this book!!! Did you know it accidentally got leaked?


message 29: by Renee (new)

Renee OMG I KNOW!!! AND I WAS LIKE :O
PEOPLE WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD AND NO SPOILERS!
Stupid people who shipped them over.

BUT OMG EXCITING!!! I AM ACTUALLY SO EXCITED!!!

OMG AND FAULT IN OUR STARS GETS WRAPPED TONIGHT AS WELL!!!! LAST SHOOT TODAY!


message 30: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments They are making TFIOS into a MOVIE?!?!? How did I NOT know about this??? I still have to read this book but EVERYONE says its AMAZING


message 31: by Renee (new)

Renee WHAT? HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW??? IT'S BEING GOING ON FOR AGES!!!!!
AND OMG THE CAST IS SO CUTE!!

actually
you know the Divergent movie?

The actors who play Tris and caleb (her bro)
are playing Hazel and Augustus, (the mains in TFIOS)


message 32: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments Wow! There are sooo many books being made into movies atm:

- Matched by Allie Condie
- City of Ashes (or is that still suspended?)
- The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
- Vampire Academy
- TFIOS
- Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
- Fallen by Lauren Kate
- Divergent

Can you think of any others? These were jst off the top of my head (I'm sure I've missed some)


message 33: by Renee (new)

Renee yeah Mockingjay you missed but that was a given I suppose. XD

And yes City of Ashes is suspended but to be released in 2015. :( darn. have to wait a long time.

and I don't think matched is becoming a movie anymore. :(


message 34: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments Oh yeah Mockingjay of course *facepalm*

Matched isn't being made into a movie? Oh well. I was interested in how it would translate to screen as i didn't particularly like the series


message 35: by Renee (new)

Renee yeah, it kinda fell flat at the end. didn't feel like it ended but it was good. just not great.


message 36: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments Agreed. And the rest of the series didn't get any better

Lure (Siren's Call, #1) by Stephanie Jenkins
I haven't read this book yet, so I can't tell you what I thought of it, but from the description, it looks really good! It's also part of a series, so if you like it, you'll have another one to follow on. Hope that helps :D
P.S. If you also have a look at the "Readers Also Enjoyed" Section, I'm sure you can find some more as well :D

Ridley Duchannes is a siren... Caster Chronicles.
Can't say I've read any mermaid books except the original Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.

Yes we should!!!
I loved Fallen, didn't get the hype over Unearthly and haven't read Immortal City.


message 41: by Renee (new)

Renee I liked Fallen series up until the epilogue of Rapture. And the end scenes were very....weird for me. It didn't all add up like I thought and really, her 'condition' (view spoiler) didn't really seem like that little revelation could solve it.
idk, just didn't really sit with me well at the end.

Can't realy remember what happened... I read Fallen too long ago lol. All of the angel books kinda get muddled in my mind (I confuse the characters in Hush Hush with those in Fallen :P)

We could ask one of the moderators *cough cough* Renee *cough* if we could start an "Angel Addicts Support Group" or an "Angel Addicts Anonymous" (only we wouldn't really be that anonymous, huh? XP) or any other name you think of :D


message 43: by Renee (new)

Renee ha ha ha ha ha, *cough* indeed! Patch and Nora aare Hush Hush
Luce and Daniel are Fallen.

I can make an Angel Addicts thread if you want?

message 45: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca | 273 comments All good :D glad to help


message 46: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 12 comments yeah I reckon the first book was definitely the best for me. I agree with you about the ending. It just seemed kind of added in? Like it wasn't originally planned?

Rebecca | 273 comments Crazy Apple {Happy Halloween!!} wrote: "Yeah. :D
Whoa, seems like there are a lot of paranormal fans here. Awesomeness. :D I like the kind that's more fantasy-like, like the Watersong series:
Wake (Watersong #1) by Amanda Hocking[bookcover:Lullaby|1..."


Oooh. Preeeeeeeeeeety ^-^ Hvae you read the Trylle series by her also? Soooo good :D (ohh, and to by technical, Paranormal is a sub-category of fantasy XP)

Renee Sarah wrote: "yeah I reckon the first book was definitely the best for me. I agree with you about the ending. It just seemed kind of added in? Like it wasn't originally planned?"

YES! and it didn't seem a good enough reason for all that fire etc. and drama.
Like, it was too placid and didn't have a big enough BOOM! I was let down when I read that sentence that tells you everything. You know the one... right?


message 49: by Renee (new)

Renee sounds exciting! I may add them to my to read list!
