Well hello again! While I want to post a bit from Clockwork Angel, I also wanted to share with you guys a new series of books I discovered, well.....two days ago.
For those of you who like Cassie Clare and fantasy in general, I would definitely suggest you check out Andrea Cremer's Nightshade series. It's about a girl named Calla, who also happens to be part "wolf"; in fact she is an alpha female, and basically the story involves a lot of fighting evil, romance, gripping scenes etc...
Okay, I know, it sounds REALLY borderline over the top, but it's a very well written series,- it's not like this girl is a wolf all the time, she's still a 17 something year old with normal (ish) problems... Anyway, I enjoyed it, which is saying something; normally I can't handle too much fantasy/ sci-fi , but these books weren't written in a mad sort of way, plus the action and romance were great. I happened to get my hand on an ARC of Bloodrose, the third in the Nightshade series, and it was BRILLIANT. Well, so far it is.... I haven't actually finished it due to this thing called homework, but seriously...
Alright, finally here's a quote from Clockwork Angel:
"Tess," he said, his voice thick and soft with desire, and she leaned toward him, swaying like a tree whose branches were weighted by snow. Her whole body ached; she ached, as if there were a terrible emptiness inside her..."
So, have you read any of the Nightshade series? What'd you think? Any thoughts on it even if you haven't? Also, only 13 more days till Clockwork Prince is released!
Cheers!
