Review: Daughters of Darkness

Daughters of Darkness, orignally was an indivdual book, later on L.J. Smith relased it as one book with three different stories from her Night World series. DoD being number two in the first book.

I have read Secret Vampire but it has been a while. It was good, too.

DoD took me some time to finally catch on to and get reading it. Though I think it had to do with the face that I was reading something else already at the time.

Surprisingly enough, yes, this is a vampire (also including werewovles, witches, etc etc). I've never been into, I guess you could call it; today's age vampires, I'm more of an semi-original Dracula fan. The original-orignal is even more interesting. I would probably have never read either of the first two stories if a friend of mine hadn't suggested it. Not only our the first to vampire orented but romance as well. Teen romance. Normally I wouldn't get close to something like that even with a ten-foot pool. But, eh, I'm open to all sorts of liteature.

On to review(ish). contains a bit of spoilers for those whom haven't read Night World No.1 yet.:

At first it was kind of boring but its one of those book's you gotta read through the first couple chapter's before you finally get into it. After I got pass that, it ended up being pretty good. Even with it's sappy/cliche ending.

There's a character, also, the shows back up who was also in the first book (Vampire Secrets). Ash. In the first he's protrade of being the dark, mysterious, serious, and really is a bad-boy. Who likes going around getting human girls despite, supposedly, hating humans. He's the one the main character's in the first book wanted to get away from. Yet everything is contradicted in this one. He did a complete three-sixty. . .it bother's me that that's what happened. I was kinda hoping Jeremy was the good guy.

Nonetheless. It's was a good read, and for those whom are more into Vampire/Werewolves/etc it's a recommened read.

New, 2010 Ford Mustang

Has anyone seen the new 2010 Ford Mustang Gt? I'm sure a few people have, I have recently myself. I'm not to sure what to think of the looks along with the new car. Personally I like the Saleen 'looks' wise. It hasn't been released yet, due out in a couple month's from my understanding.

Compared to the new Chevy Camaro, Dodge Challenger, and the Hyundai Genesis, the new Mustange is about a thousand dollars cheaper. And packs out at 315 horsepower with a V6 4-liter engine.

Though, the first thing that popped into my head was that it looked like a Chevy Camaro crossbreed with a Saleen Mustang. lol. Looks hot though.

$21,845

Not sure what I suspect out of this movie, but hopefully it's something good.

Review: Gundam Seed

Not a book this time! It's anime, this go.

Finished Gundam Seed a day or two ago. I'd really like to compare it to Destiny, Astray, and it's movies but I haven't gotten that far. So I can't do that yet.

Anyhoo. Spoilers. Just to let you know, for those whom haven't seen it.

Seed was great. Though, like normal either a anime is to drawn out or not drawn out enough. Seed was drawn out in a lot of places and several of the episodes I just had it playing as a background noise/have attention while I did other stuff. But of course when several of the arch's started rolling around and getting more intense they got more interesting.

I have to admit, there was one or two parts that I can say I didn't see coming. Like Kira waking up at Clyne's place. I went WTF and Klaga dieing near the end, not cool man.

I think my favorite (can you call it favorite?) was when, later on in the episodes close to the end, when Freedom got it's head blown off. Then, like, and episode (maybe in the same episode) they somehow popped one back on like a Revoltech. Okay, yeah, its anime and what knot but how what the hell. They just randomly have Gundam head's lying around?! I lol'd hard.

Lacus Clyne. I have to admit, she turned out better as a charater that I thought she was. She's girly but ended up being a very serious calm, level headed person in the end. I didn't suspect that, but I liked it.

Enough rambling, that's about the jist of it for me.

Overall, Seed was a great show, little lenghty at parts, but worth it I suppose. It's a watch at least.

4 out of 5 stars :)

Review: Moongazer

Okay, been putting this off more than just not getting around to it.

Like the picture/book cover says, this book is by Marianne Mancusi [(main site) (blog)].

This just happened to be a random book that I picked up at some store on vacation along with another book. I thought it would be just another one of those books that I wouldn't get past the first chapter let alone the first couple pages.

It turned out, I actually liked it, and ended up reading it till I was done with it. While I started getting toward the end, it became a typical, a I-know-what's-going-to-happen ending, I still liked it anyway. Btw the epilogue was cliche, but okay I guess.

The rest of the book was entertaining and I couldn't stop reading till I got to the next chapter so I could pause. . .and then read some more.

The story wasn't a rare/unique (dare I say original) but it wasn't common either. Though like everything that's created the author put some of her own twist's into it. I liked that.

Another thing, I'm not a romancy kinda person but there is an exception to every rule sometimes. This book was one of those exceptions. And it's based in a futuristic setting, so that wasn't so bad either :)

Even if some of the chapter's and got long winded, each book has it's own nays and yays but this one just happened to have more yays. Not a necessary 'buy' but a book I recommend reading if you're into book's like this. Or if you're like me; a person who doesn't care what they read.

I give it a 3.5 to 4 out of 5 stars.

Egyptian Goddess

Haven't done a quiz in a while. So here's an interseting one.

Renen

Not much can be found on the Egyptian Goddess Renen. She was a Goddess of great mystery and not worshipped widely in Egypt, or anywhere for that matter. She had great importance, though. She was the Goddess of serpents, mainly the Egyptian Asp, and of the Dawn and Dusk, and had the power to control the day-and-moon-light.
