Clockwork Prince

Clockwork Prince was a fantastic novel, I enjoyed it more than the first in the series (Clockwork Angel) and I can only hope there will be a third.

With Mortmain still on the loose there is danger around every corner. To learn that one of their own has turned spy against them and is working with the enemy is a shock to all at the institute. With her running of the institute in question, Charlotte has no choice but to be hard on a person that she loves.
The mystery of why Will is always pushing people away is solved, but doesn't follow the story line that I would have preferred. Although I still enjoy the way that it went, the romantic in me was hoping for another result. If there is a book 3 maybe it will lead back to this line.

The elder Lightwood brothers returns from Spain and is not the same person that left the family, his realisation of the world is a little different than when he left.

I really enjoyed this novel the second in the Infernal Devices series. I really do hope there is more to come.

Sunset Rising

This book was gifted to me by the author in exchange for an honest and fair review.

World War 3 - Military vehicles are seen disappearing into "the Dome" Civilians push their way in on foot, But only the fastest make it before the doors are closed for good. With the radiation threat on the outside there is likely to be many generations in the dome.

Forced to sign a treaty that will see the Civilians treated as slaves in the pit and culled when they reach 35. The 'Bourge' live the high life and use the female Urchins for their entertainment. Step out of line and a beating is expected. When Sunny is dragged from the dark pit up to the dome for the bachelor party of the man who is to marry the president's daughter, she doesn't expect to be drawn into an evil plot by the Bride to be.

Her life will be changed forever and the man that she is tricked into marrying will have his eyes opened to just how evil the government actually is.

I struggled to put this down.(Loved it)  It has a little bit of a "Les Miserables" to it. A story where a brave girl is not scared to fight for her people. The story of Sunny O'Donnell & Jack Kenner is very inspiring. Where a 'rich' man is helping out the less fortunate to help them revolt against a government.

I am really looking forward to Book 2 in the series!!

I give this a rating of 5 stars.

When the Siren Calls

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Welcome to a world where buying up luxury holidays homes and having affairs are common nature. I enjoyed the story, it was an easy read and flowed well. 

Unhappy in her marriage Isobel falls into an affair with a suave Business man/ Property developer (Jay) who has a hint of a con man about him. Little does she know that she is not his only extra marital affair. This follows the story of Isobel her husband her lover and the Tuscan countryside. 

Once so sure that she would never cheat on Peter and that he would never cheat on her. But along comes Rachel his assistant and she is suddenly not so confident. Could it be guilt on her behalf that makes her unsure?

The reunions are wonderful, But the day he comes home to her a changed man will be the beginning of a whole new life. Love/ Hate / Passion & Revulsion all play a big part.

Then comes the day that Wife 2 is brought home. It takes many years, but they become close and loving friends, companions and partners while their wayward husband is off and away often for decades at a time.
Travelling all over the world as to not arouse suspicion and endanger themselves. This sees the introduction of wife number 3. She believes she is much better than 1 & 2 and causes many arguments in Castle Dracula. This is also where slayers are introduced into the book.

I enjoyed reading this story, it seemed a little choppy in the beginning, but this fits in with the 'Diary' content of the book and improved as the story developed. I did enjoy the fact that it is written in the hand of the 3 wives along with the necessary storyline in between. A great telling of the 'Brides' story. I would love to see a second book and where the story of Valeria and Emil will lead.
