Book Review: Stake That! - Mari Mancusi


Two sisters - as different as the sun and the rain. For one, getting into the Blood Coven is to die for, but it seems destiny has something else in mind...
Rayne McDonald had it all figured out: Get turned into a vampire, become the mate of the Blood Coven leader, and live the high life for all eternity. Too bad the head vamp took a bite out of her twin sister by mistake. Now, not only is Rayne still not a vampire, but she learns she's a slayer instead - destined to destroy vamps gone bad.
After being recruited by a secret organization, Rayne is given her first mission: infiltrate a seedy bar downtown and expose its vampire owner, Maverick, for purposely spreading a nasty blood virus. Luckily the Blood Coven sends some help - in the form of sexy vampire Jareth. Will vampire and slayer be able to settle their differences and work together to bring down the evil Maverick? Or will they find their own hearts at risk?
- From the back of the book.

Stake That! is the second book in Mari Mancusi's Blood Coven series. It picks up straight from where Boys That Bite left off, only instead of telling Sunny's story, it tells Rayne's. Also, if you haven't read the first one, you could probably read this one and not get too confused, as everything that happened in the first book is summarized in the first chapter.

Stake That! is told in the form of a blog, IM chats and diary entries. This makes it easy and interesting to read, and adds humour. It is once again, as Boys That Bite was, full of references to TV shows and films, including Buffy, 24, Dracula and The Lost Boys.

So much happens in this book, and as its so fast paced, you are never left hanging. Rayne, as the author of the blog, packs in so much in just a few pages, it just makes you need to keep reading to find out what happens. There is plenty to keep the reader entertained, including a plan to expose their mother's new boyfriend as a vampire, with ideas taken straight from the 80s vampire movies they rented from Blockbuster.

This book is the ideal chick lit vampire book. It has everything it needs to be amazing, and more. I would suggest that however old you are, whether you're a teen, or an adult, that you should read this book, as it is perfect and could be enjoyed by all ages.

I give it 5 Feet!

Book Blogger Hop #4

It's that time again, for the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books! It gives bloggers a chance to hop around and find some awesome new blogs to follow! I frequently find new books that I need to read, and it's a great way to make new friends! Click the link above to sign up! =] Where is your favourite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden? My answer: My favourite place to read is in the corner of our corner sofa in the living room, when my brother is playing the Xbox, because then, I can block out the sounds of him blowing things up and just get lost in a book. I can't read there though if the TV's on, as I'll just end up watching the programme instead! I also like reading in bed, but sometimes I'll find myself drifting off, so I don't read there very often!

Book Review: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

Title:  The Scorpio Races  Author:  Maggie Stiefvater Series:  Standalone Pages:  404 Publisher:  Scholastic Date of Publication:  25th October 2011 Source:  Publisher* Synopsis from Goodreads: It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. My Thoughts: I was really excited to read The Scorpio Races . I'm a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater, and I've read all her previous books apart from Balla...
