Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins. The point is: they saved her life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favor, she obliges – and soon Sookie’s in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She’s supposed to interview certain humans involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave and let the humans go unharmed. But that’s easier said than done, and all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly.

This book is the second book in the True Blood / Sookie Stackhouse series.

I wasn’t a fan of the first book but this book got better than the first and I liked it much more. 

There is a lot of action in this book and a lot of happening which makes you engaged in the book. And the action is interesting which makes it harder to pull yourself away from the book. 

The ending was super messy and it was super hard to keep track of at least for me personally. However the beginning and the middle of this book was super fun and I had good time there.

The characters here are begin to become better and less annoying for me personally. And I really came to some what like them in this book which I gave this book some extra points for that.

In this book we get more backstory for Bill, and Eric here becomes more likeable than in the first book which I came to enjoy. 

The writing style in this book was simple and easy which really suited the plot and the rest of this book.

Overall this book is very good read when you just want to turn of your brain for a bit and have cozy time with something. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5

Dear Reader, If this is the first book you found while searching for a book to read next, then the first thing you should know is that this next-to-last book is what you should put down first. Sadly, this book presents the next-to-last chronicle of the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, and it is next-to-first in its supply of misery, despair, and unpleasantness.

This book is the 12th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. Which really makes me sad because it means that there is only one book left in this series. 

The action in this book is very very very high. There is a lot of happening. Because all the bad people Violet, Klaus and Sunny met since book one makes an return in this book. And oh boy, this book does really hit another level of sadness. 

Violet, Klaus and Sunny has to join forces with Count Olaf to escape the hotel which this book takes place. Because there is an angry mob after Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Count Olaf. 

Count Olaf in this book break up with Esmé Squalor and he leaves behind her and that little brat Carmelita Spats. Let’s hope that we won’t see these two insufferable characters in the last book in this amazing series. 

In this book the plot is very thick and heavy. Because finally in this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny mets someone from the VFD and they are even put to do a special mission for them to take down Count Olaf. But of course as you might expect the mission doesn’t go along the plan. 

Violet, Klas and Sunny feels like an adult even thou 2 of them are teens and Sunny is a baby. That’s just shows the character development and all the things they have been through since the first book. 

To be fully honest here, this book is the most complex book in this series so far. And I need to say that this book might be my favourite book in this series but we still have one book to go in this series so a lot of things might change in that time.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader,  Unless you are a slug, a sea anemone, or mildew, you probably prefer not to be damp. You might also prefer not to read this book, in which the Baudelaire siblings encounter an unpleasant amount of dampness as they descend into the depths of despair, underwater. 

This book is the 11th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. And I really hate the fact that I only have 2 books left until I finish this series. I don’t want this to happen because I love this series so much.

To be fully honest, the action in this book is very high. And I loved it. The action in this book takes place under the water. 

And this book almost destroyed my life, when sunny was infected by a fast working virus. I wouldn’t have cried for years if Sunny have died. And that shows how much I love Violet, Klaus and Sunny.

This book has a huge life lesson in it, and this life lesson is that “People aren’t either wicked or noble”. And we learn this lesson from no other than the hook-handed man from Count Olaf’s trop. I didn’t expect it to come from him.

In this book we truly learn of truly insufferable Carmelita Spats is. Really can’t understand how Count Olaf stand her. If I was him I would have throw her off the submarine within minutes.

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course.  Which is really sad for me to say, because now thus book is the 3rd books which really disappointed in a way in this series.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals

To be honest here this book feels like the generic cliché of YA romance book where the teenagers are too sick to be in love.

This book follows to characters and it switched perspectives between the two main characters who are Stella and Will.

The characters here are okay for the most part. But there are moments where the characters act like the most generic YA characters which doesn’t work for me personally. 

This book was interesting, enjoyable and fun to read. This book is also a quick read and very easy read which means that it is possible to read this book in a day. 

The writing style here is very easy. And to be honest the writing style here is very YA style.

Dear Reader, Like handshakes, house pets, or raw carrots, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up–and down–a range of strange and distressing mountains. In order to spare you any further repulsion, it would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful map, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.

This is the 10th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. After finishing this book I relied that I have only 3 books left in this series.

But I also relied that Sunny, isn’t the same character as she was in the first book because she has grown a lot since the first book. She walks in this book and she is developing her talent. Violet is the engineer, Klaus is the researcher and sunny is the chief. I completely love the fact that Sunny is developing her own talent. 

The beginning of this book was a little bit slow, to be fully honest. But it quickly made up for the fact. 

To be fully honest I didn’t love this book as the rest of the book in the series. But still this book is amazing in my opinion of course. 

The action in this book is lower than in the precious books, but it is still there. And it is still incredible fun to follow the action in this book just to see where it will takes us. 

The characters are still as amazing as in the previous books in this series. If you compare this book and the first book then you can truly see the character development happening for Violet, Klaus and Sunny. 

After finishing this book, I’ve realised that the books are getting longer and longer. And I love this fact because I can spend longer time on this series.

In this book we learn the meaning of VFD, and we meet a new amazing character which of course is Quigley. But also Carmelita Spats makes a return in this book and she joins no other than Count Olaf and his Co of weird people.

Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out. Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn’t such a bright idea.

Let me start of the review by saying that I tried watching True Blood on HBO but I wasn’t the biggest fan of it (even with Alexander Skårsgard in it) and I never watched the entire TV series. And as I’ve expected I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book either. But of course I’m gonna continue the book series. 

The plot here was meh, not the greatest I’ve seen in vampire themed books. But overall it was enjoyable and somehow interesting. I’ve read this book in 24 hours so that for what you will. 

The characters here was also meh, I didn’t care for what happened with the characters here because I didn’t have the connection with the characters in this book. But I found them somehow enjoyable but not interesting as I wanted while starting this book.

This book was for sure cozy and a fun read for a lazy Sunday but I really wished this book would spend more time in the beginning with Sookie and Bill and how they fall in love with each other.

Ive enjoyed the backstory to Bill but I wish we could get more of a backstory to Sookie. Because we really don’t get much about her life before meeting Bill other than that she is in her 20s, she can read minds and that she is a waitress in a small town no one really heard about.

I Give This Book 2 / 5

Dear reader, The word “carnivorous,” which appears in the title of this book, means “meat-eating,” and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. This carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.

This book is the 9th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. Which is one of the best series ever written in my opinion.

In this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny creating their own adventure after hitting in the trunk of Count Olaf’s car. And this time the action take place at freak show carnival. 

The adventure in this book is amazing, every detail of it, grabs your attention more and more. And you won’t be able to stop reading it. 

The adventure here, is interesting, enjoyable but also very sad. Just as the 8 previous book in this series. 

The freak show carnival in this book, isn’t a “freak show carnival” because all the staff there are just normal human beings which some talents, like being very good at gymnastics.

The women which we meet in this book runs the carnival. And she is very complex character because she wants to be a good person and help Violet, Klaus and Sunny but she has a very unique life motto which is “give people what they want” so of course she ends up being manipulated by Count Olaf and tell him that the orphans are actually working at the carnival in disguise.

The characters in this book are so good. I know that I say the same things about the characters in this series during every review. But it really is true. Somehow the author is able to see what the readers like about the characters and build onto it so that we will fall in love with them more and more with each book in this series. 

The writing style is so amazing. It feels like you see the story happening with your own eyes rather than reading a book.

Ive noticed after finishing this book that the series gets better and better which each book. When you think that this series can’t get any better, it does get better with the next book you read in this series.
