Vampire Academy

I haven't started a new book yet, still rereading the Lux series, I have about 5 chapters left.
Even though I haven't started anything yet, I'll talk to you about Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.
I must begin by saying that Vampire Academy (VA) is my favorite series of all time - love it more than Harry Potter, and I love HP,  people who know me can attest to that.
I plan to do a talk about each book of the series, because I already know them by heart and I love each and every one.
I refuse to  believe that there are people out there who have not yet read VA, so I intend to talk about this book with spoilers and all :D.
If you are one of the unfortunate, that has not yet read the series DO NOT READ THIS POST, GO READ THE BOOK.
That being said, let's get to the fun part, and talk about VA.
Hmm ..... VA starts of a little odd, for me, with Rose dreaming Lisa's dream, but it picks up from there.
By the time we meet Dimitri, it's impossible to let the book down.
Richelle Mead takes us in a world full of vampires. Basing her novels on a Romanian myth, about three types of vampires, the Moroi, the Strigoi and the Dhampires.
The Moroi are living vampires that need blood to survive, but do not kill to obtain it. They can use magic and are able to control the elements - earth,  water,  air, fire and an other element that has been long forgotten .... spirit.
The Strigoi are dead vampires that kill to survive,  and for them the Moroi are especially tasty. The Strigoi are made not born. They can be made by choice or by force.  A Moroi can choose to become a Strigoi by willingly killing there victim while feeding. Also any Moroi, Dhampire or human can be made a  Strigoi by force, this happens when a other strigoi feeds on a victim to the point of death and then feeds them back his own blood. Strigoi are vicious and cruel,  they poses immortality and incredible straight,  becoming more and more powerful as they age and as they consume more Moroi blood.
Last but not least the Dhampires are the half vampires, children of Moroi and humans or Moroi and other Dhampires.  They can not have children of there own, being able to reproduce only with the Moroi. They are trained bodyguards for the Moroi,  seeing as their species are so closely linked.

The book follows the life of teenage Dhampire girl Rosemarie Hathaway and her best friend Moroi princess and last of her name Vasilisa Dragomir.

Runaways from the people who raised them, the two girls live on a college campus trying to get past there high school graduation.

They are found and brought back to the Academy by Russian dhampire god Dimitri Belikov.

Back with the people who raised them the girls get in all kinds of trouble.  Fighting,  loving and deceiving to get what they want.

Rose of course, falls in love with Dimka, the Russian god and Lisa with the misfit with strigoi parents,  baited by everyone,  Christian Ozara.

It is a story about true friendship and love,  and the things that those two kind of feeling make us do.

Read the full series and you won't regret it,  I promise.

Are they kidding me :O

Are they kidding me :O


How can you make me choose between Dimka and Daemon?
Daemon might be my new book boyfriend :))  but Dimka will always be first in my heart.
Hard to choose .....


Cum ma poti face sa aleg intre Dimka si Daemon?
Chiar daca Daemon este noul meu book boyfriend :)) Dimka va fi mereu primul in inima mea.
Greu de ales ........

Nu există nici micul dejun mai bun decât un sandwich cu ton picant cu crocante de pui si porumb ......

Happy me :)

OPAL


Let's talk about OPAL, the third volume of the series LUX by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

First, I just want to say I'm extremely happy with how Daemon and Katy's relationship evolved up to this moment. The way Daemon's feelings gradually increase throughout this volume, building an emotional charge that can explode at any time (I'll tell you a secret .... shhhh ..... this is exactly what will happen). As you well know Daemon never tells Katy "I love you", well you will have a big surprise, the end of this volume being a true cliffhanger that makes you count the days until the next volume will be published.

Today I will not make a presentation as before, because today I am extremely upset with the two main characters. After Blake betrays them, and so many characters disappear from the pages of the book (either gone forever or victims of irreversible personality changes that will make you not recognize them anymore - all because of Blake) Daemon and Katy allow him to get back in their midst.


"Really, are you blind? Even a blind man could see that he was up to something!"


It would have been better if they would have got rid of him from the beginning
Uhhh ...... while reading I felt like diving into the pages of the book, to slap some sense into them.

I am so frustrated about it .....

Now that I got this out of my system, I will say that this is a wonderful book, full of action and moments of suspense. It contains some of the most exciting scenes I've had the pleasure to read, (reread soon, as I'm reading the series for the second time - already to volume II).

It is a book for everyone, has action, romance, funny moments and a bit of supernatural, YA perfect combination.

Counting the days until the ORIGIN the new volume will be published, August 27 come faster ....





Sa vorbim despre OPAL, al treilea volum al seriei LUX de Jennifer L. Armentrout.

In primul rand, vreau doar sa spun ca sunt extrem de multumita de modul in care relatia lui Daemon si Katy a evoluat pana in momentul de fata. Felul in care sentimentele lui Daemon cresc treptat pe parcursul acestui volum, construind o incarcatura emotionala ce poate exploda in orice moment (va voi spune un secret .... shhhh ..... chiar asta se va intampla). Cum bine stiti Daemon  nu ii spune lui Katy niciodata "Te iubesc", ei bine veti avea o surpriza de proportii, finalul acestui volum fiind un cliffhanger adevarat, care te face sa numeri zilele pana ce urmatorul volum va fi publicat.

Azi nu voi face o prezentare ca si pana acum, pentru ca azi sunt extrem de suparata pe cei doi eroi principali. Dupa ce Blake ii tradeaza si atat de multe personaje dispar din paginile cartii (fie dispar pentru totdeauna, fie sufera schimbari iremediabile de personalitate ce te vor face sa nu le mai recunosti - totul din cauza lui Blake) Daemon si Katy il lasa din nou in mijlocul lor

"Serios, sunteti orbi? Pana si un orb ar vedea ca pune ceva la cale!"


Ar fi fost mai bine daca scapau de el de la inceput
UHHH ...... in timp ce citeam imi venea sa intru in paginile cartii si ca le pleznesc cateva pana se trezesc la realitate

Sunt atat de frustrata din cauza asta .......

Acum ca mi-am scos asta din sistem, vreau sa va spun ca este o carte minunata, plina de actiune si momente de suspans. Contine unele dintre cele mai incitante scene pe care am avut placerea sa le citesc, (in curand recitesc deoarece acum citesc seria pentru a doua oara - sunt deja la volumul II).

Este o carte pentru toata lumea, cu actiune, dragoste, momente comice si un pic de supranatural, combinatia perfecta pentru YA.

Numar zilele pana cand ORIGIN, noul volum va fi publicat, 27 august vino mai repede....
