My name is Brooke and I am an avid reader and love to write. What better way to spend my time than on a blog about books?
I am an eighteen year old living in the sunny state of California. I'm in that changing age where I still love those silly, young adult, vampire romance novels, but I'm also noticing the school assigned books aren't as boring as they used to be and I love how they make me think. I think you'll be able to tell through my writing and book choices.
How I Started
A few years back I wrote on the blog Black Nailed Reviews, and it was some of the most fun I've had. Unfortunately, we all started to grow up and go away to college, leaving the blog to slowly fade away. Recently, I found myself stumbling upon that blog and thought "you know what? I should start this back up again!" So here we are!
Goals
My hope is that I can share my love of reading with others and make them as excited as I am! People always say print is dying out, but I know that's not true. There's nothing quite like picking up a book and spending hours reading.
I have been asked by Rebecca Royce to contact YA bloggers about her book Initiation (The Warrior Book 1). Here is the information about the book:
ReplyDeleteKeep your friends close...and your enemies closer.
Rachel Clancy has had to learn the hard way that you can't always trust who you know.
Born with a specific set of genes that lets her fight monsters, Rachel has trained her entire life to kill vampires and werewolves. Unprepared for the level of deception and betrayal she faces as she journeys Upwards to battle her enemies, it's not long before Rachel finds herself on a quest that will alter the lives of everyone she knows.
Including Rachel's...
Here is a recent review:
Rebecca Royce knocks it out of the park with the first book in The Warrior series. A dystopian tale of earth after Armageddon, after the Werewolves and Vampires have destroyed human civilization and sent humanity into hiding. For fourty years humans have lived underground.
In this book we meet Rachel Clancy on the eve of her sixteenth birthday. Turning sixteen is signifcant but not in the way we are accustomed.
Rachel was born with a specific set of genes that designates her as a warrior. Her childhood has been one of training, preparing to fight the monsters. On her sixteenth birthday she is sent out on her first mission, alone - scared but determined.
It's the beginning of great change for humans and monsters alike, because Rachel is more than she imagined. She's the catalyst that will cause dark secrets to be revealed, and hidden truths to rise to the surface.
I'm typically not a fan of books written in first person, but I honestly was captured by page two and could not put the book down. Ms. Royce has always had a wonderful ability to build worlds that come alive in a reader's mind, and characters who are so well developed their voices ring in our heads. This, however, is Ms. Royce's flagship. Her voice rings with vibrancy, the world she has created is so clear we feel we are there. These characters live and breathe, we feel their emotions and walk along with them as they traverse a dangerous landscape.
I can't give enough praise to this book and cannot wait to read the rest of the series. It gets my highest recommendation. This is definitely a must read. by Lou Jones
