Manga Review: X, Vol. 2: 3-in-1 [Paperback]

I've finished "X Vol. 2 3-in-1" by Clamp.

Product Description


Reads R to L (Japanese Style).

X, the epic series from CLAMP, is now available in this deluxe collector’s edition. The pages have been recomposed in the original right-to-left reading order and restored to the highest quality. Each volume contains three of the original graphic novels, along with gorgeous, full-color illustrations never before published outside Japan!

Japan's greatest seer, the blind prophet Hinoto, has foretold the end of the world. At the center of her prophecy is a young man named Kamui Shiro, who possesses startling psychic powers. But Kamui is far from alone in this destiny. Armies are gathering, other people with unique powers: the “Seven Seals,” who seem to be Kamui's allies, and the “Seven Angels,” who might be his enemies. All are somehow linked to the destruction to come, and all are now coming to Tokyo to choose sides in the upcoming battle.

My Review:

This omnibus collects volumes 4 - 6 which have been previously released.

In this volume more Dragons of Heaven and Dragons of Earth are arriving in Tokyo for the great battle which will determine the outcome if humanity will either live or die.  There is a little backstory for Sorata and we find out what happened to Kamui's family.  We meet some of the major players, what powers they wield
and their personalities.

Fuma is still trying to figure out his role and how it's related to Kamui.  He seems to be having nightmares and he managed to break a Dragon of Earth's seal to save Kamui and his sister Kotori.

Kamui has a major attitude problem and is still undecided if he wants to save the world or not.  Sorata has decided he will die protecting Arashi.

The artwork is very gorgeous and colorful and there are tarot illustrations that were releases with the Japanese version.  At the back they show all the major players and what role they play in the fight and when all the color pictures were released.

5/5

RS Review: If You Know Her: A Novel of Romantic Suspense [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "If You Know Her" the 3rd book in her Ash trilogy by Shiloh Walker.

Product Description

A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW

Nia Hollister doesn’t scare easily. She’s returned to Ash, Kentucky, with a vengeance — and with a mission: find the killer who brutally ended her cousin’s life. What she didn’t count on was trembling with desire every time she sees Law Reilly. If any man can help her escape the nightmares for a while, it’s him. But can she allow herself to take comfort in those strong arms when her sister’s killer still roams free?

She may think she’s a bad ass, but she should not have come back to his town. He is watching her — as she slips into Law Reilly’s house, as she storms into the sheriff’s office. These men won’t be able to protect her when her time comes. Timing is everything, though he can’t wait forever. She’s nosing around the woods, looking for his hiding place. Yes, he is watching her . . . through the window . . . in her bed . . .

If she’s not scared, she should be . . . because he is very good at what he does.

About the Author

Shiloh Walker is the bestselling author of If You Hear Her, Chains, Fragile, and The Missing. She loves reading and writing anything fantasy and nearly every kind of romance. Once upon a time she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full-time and lives with her family in the Midwest.

My Review:

Nia Hollister is determined to find out what happened to her cousin Jolene so she comes back to Ash, Kentucky.  She decides to stay and to investigate further even though a killer has been killed (it doesn't sit well with her).

Law Reilly has settled in Ash, Kentucky as a writer which suites the quiet and peaceful town until people are murdered.  His first meeting with Nia ended at the end of a gun in the 2nd book "If You See Her" with his friend Hope and it didn't end well.

Nia and Law decide to partner up and flush out the real killer.  She begins to collect evidence that the real killer is still around which stirs up the killer's rage.  She starts to receive threats subtle at first then it escalates to trying to kill her.  Now the killer has everyone in their sights and no one is safe.

Nia is a little firecracker that won't be scared easily, determined, stubborn and head strong.

Law is a great guy that you would want as a husband or friend. He's super sexy and really cares and wants to protect people he loves.

The killer is scary and psychotic because they are rational at first and then something triggers them and they go off.

Manga Review: Naruto, Vol. 56 (Naruto (Graphic Novels)) [Paperback]

Manga Review

I've finished "Naruto Vol. 56" by Masashi Kishimoto.

Product Description


Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audiences rated teen.

Naruto is a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He's got a wild sense of humor, but Naruto is completely serious about his mission to be the world's greatest ninja!

Naruto and the Allied Shinobi Forces battle Kabuto’s hordes of reanimated ninja soldiers. In the process, they come face-to-face with old friends brought back from the dead … plus enemies and weapons more fearsome than any they could have imagined!


About the Author

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his manga Karakuri (Mechanism). Kishimoto decided to base his next story on traditional Japanese culture. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in Japan.

My Review:

This volumes opens with the continuation of the battle that started at the end of the last issue.  We meet some old friends and foes that have been resurrected and are being mind controlled to fight.  They are aware they should be dead along with their enemies they killed and they are being used against their will.

We meet some deadly and powerful foes - a team of two who use the power of words to trap their victims into a gourd (first they curse them and make them say that word then trap them).

We don't see much of Naruto or the crew in this one.

YA Review: Black Heart (Curse Workers) [Hardcover]

I've finished "Black Heart" the 3rd book in her Curse Workers series by Holly Black.

Product Description

Cassel Sharpe knows he’s been used as an assassin, but he’s trying to put all that behind him. He’s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He’s trying to do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is inextricably connected with crime. And he’s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is smart, even though he’s been raised to believe the government is the enemy.

But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what’s a con and what’s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet — this time on love.

My Review:

This is the final book in the series and you find out what happens to Cassel, Lila and everyone in his family.

Cassel Sharpe is trying to be a good man even though he was brought up in a world of con artists and the mob.  He has grown up in a Curse Worker world where a person who can manipulate emotions, change luck, change memories, etc.  He is a Transformation Worker who can change shape into another form.

Cassel is reluctantly working for the FBI where his older brother Barron is a new agent and dragging him along for training.  The FBI have agreed to let him finish high school before allowing him to work with them but they don't let him out of their sights.

Cassel is in love with Lila the daughter of the Zacharov mob family and can't stop thinking of her.  They have a long and complicated history and she is really mad at him.  He finds himself pulled back into that life when he finds out his mom has stole a legendary Resurrection Diamond from Zacharov in the past and he has to retrieve it to save her life.

He also has to solve a case at school when a classmate claims she is being blackmailed but he finds out it is not what it seems.

Agent Yulikova assigns Cassel to transform bigoted Governor Patton before his regulation of transformation workers really gets out of hand.

This book wasn't as fast paced as the first two in the books but it was an enjoyable read.  A lot of things were tied up in this book though some people didn't get their HEA but Cassel and Lily finally realized what they want and go for it.  The ending was really interesting!

Books of Love





When did you start blogging?

Actually, I started in 2010, but didn’t really start getting serious till March 2011. I was doing some guest posting originally on other blogs. I liked it so much that I decided to start one.

What is your favorite part of book blogging?

Discovering new books that I love and worlds to explore. I also like the sense of community that I’ve found. Plus I get to discuss books with others the books I love or hated.

What is your favorite book(s)?

Favorite book is hard. I would have to say Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of my favorites. That book made me cry, laugh. It explored so many emotions. I also think that I love Immortals After Dark series is another one, love the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian. I also love the Firelight Series by Sophie Jordan  so it depends on my mood you could say ….

What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

I would have to say making new friends has been one of the best things that has happened to me. Plus I have a sense of community that I didn’t have before I started book blogging. Not to mention discovering some great and funny talented people I’ve met. Plus not to mention learned how to be more open to literature from genres that I would have never read otherwise.


Sinnful Books

1. When did you start blogging?

I have been blogging on and off since the end of 1999. My first home was on LiveJounral. However, after graduating with my B.A., I decided to give book blogging a try. For a few years, I had posted reviews on the 50bookchallenge community on LiveJournal. It was something that I really enjoyed doing, so it was a fairly easy transition.

2. What is your favorite part of book blogging?

Honestly, the wonderful book blogging community is my favorite part. I have met some wonderful people out there, and they have all helped me move forward. Plus, finding new books is always a plus ^_~

3. What is your favorite book(s)?

Oh sheesh, that is a long answer! Where do I start? The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorn; Njal's Saga; Sir Gawain and the Green Knight\; The Last Herald-Mage series by Mercedes Lackey; The Followship of the Ring (including The Hobbit) and Tree and Leaf by J.R.R. Tolkien; Hack/Slash; the Sandmand series, the Graveyard Book, and Coraline by Neil Gaiman; Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill; The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle; The Belgariad and Melorian by David Eddings; Rose Daughter and Spindle's End by Robin McKinley; Historian by Elizabeth Kostova; The Devouring by Simon Holt; etc.

4. What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?

The best thing would be contact with two of my favorite zombie authros: S.G. Browne and Rhiannon Frater. They are awesome people, and it was a blessing for them to write guest posts for my blog.

Q: You are a matchmaker -- your goal, hook up two characters from two of your favorite books. Who would it be? How do you think it would go?

I would love to hook up Maris from "Born from Silence" by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Saxon from The Black Dagger Brotherhood series.  Maris just wants to be loved and adored and you can see how Saxon treats Blay like a king so I think this would be a great relationship.

18 and Over Book Blogger Hop #88

Copy the html for the button above and place it at the top of your post.

List and answer the ‘Question of the Week.’

Place your name and blog title in the linky below and the url for a direct link to your post

Visit the other blogs on the list. If you like what you see make sure to leave a comment and follow so the blog owner knows you stopped by and can return the favor. Following each blog is not mandatory but I know it is always appreciated, and if someone comments saying they’re a new follower it’s polite to follow back. It’s always nice to spread the 18 and Over Book Blog love!

Question of the Week: Is there a super hawt and smexy book that you've read and loved but would die if you ever caught your mom reading?

There are two books I would die if I caught my mom reading them and they are "Backstage Pass" and "Rock Hard" in the Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning.
