Review - The Temptation of the Night Jasmine

0 comments Posted by LunaMoth at 3:58 PM

Title - The Temptation of the Night Jasmine
Author- Lauren Willig
Pages - 501
Genre - Historical Fiction/YA
Description (from back of book)
  After years abroad, Robert, Duke of Dovedale, has returned to England to avenge the murder of his mentor. To uncover the murderer's identity, he must infiltrate the infamous secret Hellfire Club. But the Duke has no idea that an even more difficult challenge awaits him - in a mistaken, romantic-minded young lady.
   Charlotte Lansdowne wistfully remembers the Robert of her childhood as a valiant hero among men. Too aware of his own flaws, Roberts tries to dissuade Charolotte form her dillusions, even as he finds himself drawn to her. When Charlotte takes up a bit of espionage - investigating a plot to kidnap the King - Robert soon realizes taht she is more then the perfect partner in crime.
   Caught in a dangerous game full of deadly spies and secret rites, Robert and Charlotte must work together to reveal the villian...and confront thier true love.
 Thoughts
 The book starts off following Eloise's story, a modern day lover of history, and then shifts into Charlotts story via her best friend Henriettas notes and journals, read by Eloise. Honestly, I wish the book was as exciting as the descroption made it out to be, I was more then one tempted to put it down and forget about it. During the times when we are in Charlottes story it also shifts to Roberts viewpoint of the events that play out.
   Charactor-wise i found Charlotte to be a very easy heroine to like, she was stubborn when need be and also trusting and witty. Robert was a good male counterpart to Charlotte, though he got a tad annoying going on about how he was no good. There are also quite a few good and interesting supportive charactors such as Charlottes friends Henrietta and Penelope Tommy,Roberts friend and Henriettas husband Miles. Being this is in older England there are quite a few odd words and phrases used in the book, I more then once found myself going 'huh?' but once read in context of the sentance it made sence. There were also some pretty long/advanced words but nothing a dictonary could not fix.
   The writing style was fluid, Willig painted a very pretty picture with her descrptions of the gardens, the houses and the undercaves leading to the Hellfire Club.The romance is clean but never stale, there are a few innuendos and adult themes but they are few and not heavy-handed. All in all i enjoyed the book, i just wish it was a bit more of a page-turner.

Review - My Soul to Lose

2 comments Posted by LunaMoth at 2:45 PM

Title - My Soul to Lose
Author - Rachel Vincent
Genre - Young Adult/ Paranormal
NOTE - Ebook exclusive prequel to the Soul Screamers series.
Description
It was supposed to be a fun day, shopping at the mall with her best friend. Then the panic attack started and Kaylee Cavanaugh finds herself screaming, unable to stop. Her secret fears are exposed and it's the worst day of her life.

Until she wakes up in the psychiatric unit.
She tries to convince everyone she's fine--despite the shadows she sees forming around another patient and the urge to scream which comes burbling up again and again. Everyone thinks she's crazy. Everyone except Lydia, that is. Another patient with some special abilities....
Thoughts
 Wow! this was SHORT but as said in my note section its just a prequel and given ebooks dont tell page numbers ill guess its around just 100 pages, definatly a one-sitting read.
  At first i was kind of put off since it was Kaylee and her friend shopping at the mall but after Kaylee has her panic attach and winds up in the mental hospital it gets far more interesting! There is not too much to say about this book other then i REALLY am looking forward to the rest of the series and getting my questions answerd. Oh yes, this prequel is FREE!
  One thing i keep thinking about the storyline of this prequel is i really, really wanted to know more about Lydia, a girl int he mental hospital Kaylee meets.
