Wow. Hello again, self. I know I'm just the only there are only 3 people that will be reading this deserted blog of mine but it's okay. My id, ego, and alter ego are so much of an audience anyway.  So, it's been a month since I've last visited in here or posted something. Blame it on this virus called LAZI-NESS. It  constantly picked me to be its host and I think it developed quite and obsession on me. I miss blogging. Felt nostalgic to be back.. Am I? Lezz see over the next few days. Though I am still reading and making reviews of books but I only posted on GR where it is accessible for me hence I completed the GR challenge I've set for this year. 300 books. Wow. Even I was amazed that I've read so many over these past few months and am not quite done yet. I am still reading since the years not over.. yet. I am now on my 304th book, and am still counting. I'll give an update as the year ends. Oright? Orange? HAHA. Hmm. That's it. I guess.. Nothing much to say.. oh before I forgot.. I LOVE JARED MICHAELS. That sod. Don't know him? ASK ME. I'm always on twitter @creypaper  TWEET and you shall be answered. I'm willing to share him. RAWR. x

The point of this post is. Congrats to me, myself and I and welcome back. I can't promise that I'd write more reviews this month or in the next coming days, weeks, months or even next year, but I most certainly try my best to visit and post something once in a while if the mood strikes me to. Oye? Feel me? XDD


Hasta La Proxima Vez.

Fangirl: Sav & Apollymi



 
I am really a fan of these two DH character. Apollymi- the Goddess of destruction known as the DESTROYER and Savitar- the Chthonian God? Haha. Or famously known as the OMEGRION LEADER.. I've been so transfixed with Apollymi's hatred towards Sav. What really happened way back to the two of them. I've read from a DH book which I can't so much remember who, that Sav felt a remorse from a mistake he did in the past that makes the destroyer hate him. The question is: What the heck was it? It also means that he and Apollymi shared a past together. Hmm. Interesting. Love it. What kind of past tho? Maybe they're lovers, once? I wish. HAHA. But we all know that Apollymi is loyal to the core to his hubby Archon. So let's scratch that thought shall we? But it's free to imagine.. right?  That would be awesome. And even though Apollymi hated Sav, she still trusted him to protect Apostolos (Ash). She ordered Sav to keep Ash safe no matter what and Sav was compelled to carry her wish because he still felt guilty of what he did to her. So Sav was the one who taught Ash how to neutralize and control his power.

I hope they'll be more of him and Apollymi in the up and coming DH books. xx

Ash x Sav

I really really really love Savitar. Been intrigued and fascinated with him since time immemorial. His relationship with the Destroyer is my dilemma right now. I so want to know what's the score. LOL. I think.. OMG. I forgot what book he did his first major ass- I mean appearance. Anyway, he and Ash makes my DH reading experience worth the while. HAHA. So here are some snippet of convo between the two of them that never fails to make me laugh. XDD

Love it when he called Ash, little brother or grom. Kind of an endearment tho. Sa-weet Sav. Keep it up. 

Sav: War wouldn't dare bring his loserness here. I'd kick it back to Stone Age. And don't knock my paranoia, grom. It's what saved your hide, now, isn't it.

Ash: Yes, and thank you.

Sav: You're welcome. But don't get into trouble again. Your mother has turned nagging for pain  into an Olympic sport and she's been making my head ache over you. I'd tell you to go let her sit on you until you hatch, but I don't want the world to end. Suck ass though it is. However, if the nagging persists, I might change my mind and take you to her myself.

----------------

Ash: Sav, I need you to take up residence with my mother.

Sav:
(choked at the suggestion) Are you insane? That woman hated my guts. No, she doesn't hate me. Hatred for her would be a step up towards possibly liking me someday.

Ash: Take Alexion and Danger with you and stand by her side and make sure they don't hurt her. Otherwise I'd have to do it and since the point of this is to avoid the apocalypse, my presence in her home would be extremely counterproductive. You're the only one i trust to keep her safe from Stryker, War, Kessar. Even though my mother and I don't always get along and we're on opposite sides of this war, she is my mother and I don't want her hurt.

Sav: (looked like he'd rather be gutted) All right. I'll go. But you owe me. Major owe, so if I ever need something, no matter what it is, I own you.

Ash:  (he snorted) She's not that bad.

Sav: How you figure that, grom? Your mother's the Destroyer. It's a title she not only earned but one she relishes. And you're sending me in with only a few Charonte as backup. What did I even do to you?

Ash: Man up, Sav. You're whining like a little girl.

Sav: If your mother has her way. She'll turn me into one, and I look like shit in pink. Thanks kid.

Ash shook his head as he watched the Chthonian vanish. <3

Bad Things: Review

AUTHOR:  R.K.Lilley
RELEASE DATE:   June 11, 2013
MAIN CHARACTERS:  Tristan Vega, Danika
GENRE:  Contemporary, Erotica, NA
MY RATING:  ★★★✰✰ stars

BLURB: 

Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier.

One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a given.
She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did crazy have to feel so damn fine?

For as long as she could remember, Danika had been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the ground that much more devastating.

Bad Things is about Tristan and Danika, and their train wreck of a love story. This series can be read as a standalone, or with the Up in the Air series.

Bad Things is a full length novel, at roughly 105,000 words.
This book is intended for ages 18 and up.

But she met Arnel. Nag-iisa siya noon na nagbakasyon. Initial attraction ang nadama nila para sa isa’t isa.

Ngunit dumating ang araw na kailangan na nilang maghiwalay. Ang akala niya ay hanggang doon na lamang ang magiging relasyon niya rito; but then, fate had a different plan for them. Muli silang nagtagpo at sa pagkakataong iyon ay nais na nitong maging habang-buhay ang relasyon nila. Handa na ba siyang baliin ang paniniwala niya at ipagkatiwala ang puso niya rito?

All for One. One for All. ~



 Dark-Hunters united. <3


Ash: "I’m going to leave Simi here for a bit. Will you guys watch her?"

Dev: "We’re going with you."

Ash:  "What are you talking about?"

Angel: "We know what you’re planning and we’re going with you."

He was completely stunned. He saw Valerius, Talon, Kyrian, Julian, Zarek, Sin, Vane, Kyl, Katra, Fang, Tabitha and Fury. 

Ash: "What’s going on?"

Kyrian: (give him a droll stare) "There’s not one of us here that you haven’t put your ass on the line for—most of us more than once.  Alexion told us what happened with Tory and we’re here to watch your back no matter what you have planned."

Talon:  (nodded) "Wulf is on his way, too. He’ll be here as soon as the plane lands and Otto can speed him over.  And Otto plans to stand with us too."

Valerius: (pulled Tabitha back) "Tabitha won’t be fighting. She’ll be going home very shortly, but she wanted to let you know she’s here in spirit."

Tabitha: (made a face) "But for the baby, I’d be busting balls for you, Ash. You know that."
Ash: "I know, Tabby."

Talon: "The other Dark-Hunters wanted to be here but since the sun hasn’t quite set yet, they couldn’t. However, once the blazing ball goes down, they’re here if we need them."

Ash was amazed by their willingness to bleed for him. It touched him on a level he hadn’t realized existed.

Ash: (looked at Kat) "I don’t want you in this fight."

Kat: "Dad---"

Ash: "No arguments. If Simi stays out of the fight, so do you."

Sin: (gave a low evil laugh) "I’m so glad he’s your father. And that for once we see eye to eye."

Kat:  "You are out of the bedroom tonight."

Sin: (he shrugged her ire off good-naturedly)

Zarek: "This still doesn’t mean I like you, Acheron. But I owe you for my wife and son. I would lay my life down for yours because without you, I wouldn’t have shit and I know it."

Ash: "I wasn’t expecting any of you to stand with me. We’re not fighting just the Daimons in this. We’re fighting Demons too."

Sin: (snorted) "I live to tear Demons apart. Bring the bastards on."

Zarek: (nodded) "Agreed… bring on the rain. The one thing I learned from Astrid is that life isn’t about finding shelter in a storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. I don’t care what I kill as long as I get bloody while doing it."

Talon: (smiled) "We’re here for you, T-Rex.  Just like you’ve always been here for us."

Ash: "Thank, guys. I’m not used to people standing at my back. I know you all have families who love you so if you want to leave---"

Vane: (scoffed) "We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t want to. You and Val fought to save my sister when no one else would have bothered. I haven’t forgotten it."

Wren: "And I haven’t forgotten what the Dark Hunters did for me and Maggie."

Fury: (nodded) "Yeah, we’re family. Psychotic, bizarre, and a hodgepodge of personalities that should probably never be blended, but here we are. Now let’s go kick some ass."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn. I so love VANE and CELT aka TALON. Haha. Val and Zarek too! I miss them! <3

Ash x Jaden


Convo between ASH and JADEN. <3

Jaden: "I wouldn't say all humans are vermin. They do have their uses- especially the females for brief periods of time. They're just so. . .pathetically human."

Ash: "Which is why you deal with demons."

Jaden: Who are even more pathetic than humans when you think about it. Personally, I'd rather play video games. Wouldn't it be great if we could suck the souls of the people we hated into the box, shoot them down and then dance on their entails?"

Ash: (rolled his eyes at the glee in Jaden's voice) "You woke up on the wrong side of the oak tree didn't you?"

Jaden: "Yeah.  I have my own issues to deal with and, right now, the primary issue appears to be fucking over one of my only friends. I'll do my damnedest to buy you some time with the demons, but you need to come up with a miracle quickly."

Ash: "Hey, Jaden? Thank you. I know you don't have to do what you're doing for me and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it."

Jaden: "It's okay. I'm sure one day I'm going to need help bending some rules backwards. And when I ask for your help I don't want to hear any shit from you."

Ash: "Anytime, agriato."

------------

*sigh* I so love their twisted friendship. Haha. Been excited to hear more of Jaden and hopefully one day, we can all read his own dark-twisted-story. x

PS. This convo happened in DH 15- Acheron's book when Soteria was kidnapped and Ash seek's the demon broker's help. ~

Guilty Pleasures







Phew. I am such a fuzz. After seeing that I had no room for the new English books I've bought, I requested to my father, my oh-so-favourite papa in the whole world to add another layer to the 2-layered shelf I have in my room. And then viola! It was realized first thing in the morning the next day. Haha. I am so happy and thankful. Lookit. I might require another one like that on the other side of my room for my future books but for now, I am contented and happy. 

The perks of being a bibliophile. <3

Fangirl: LantheXThronos ( IAD 14 )


Like OMG. OMG. OMG. My poor poor predator loving heart is doing a somersault right now! Even after it's been 14 hours since Tita Kresley Cole announced the much awaited news about the next IAD couple, I still can't recover. I won't. Haha. I am sooo darn happy upon knowing that at last, it will be Thronos x Lanthe's time to outshine the those creatures of the LORE (Waa. My Lykae's will have a fit upon reading this! Forgave me!) I've been rooting for them since time immemorial eer since I've read Kiss of a Demon King wherein the heroine (Sabin) is the only sister of Lanthe. In there, I got a glimpse of what kind of a person Melanthe is and been liking her since then. Thronos on the other side is such a hateful character in that story. The demonic grin and his never-ending pursuit of Lanthe is unnerving yet sooo intriguing. What drives him to do so? Why is Lanthe sooo afraid of him? Why evade him? Do they have a past-romantic relationship? (I think it was mentioned!) Darn. So many questions that needs an immediate answer! Hahaha. Anyways, so I've been fascinated with those two and wishing that Tita Kresley will make a story for them. My obsession of really wanting to read their story instensified during the 11th installment of IAD (Dreams of the Dark Warrior). In that story, many of the Loreans are kidnapped and held hostage in an island managed by Declan Chase (my Berserker lover!- don't tell Regin! :P) One of them or rather the two of them (Lanthe x Thronos) we're there! Imagine? Haha. Love love love it. So when the time comes where they are able to get free, Lanthe was being dragged by Thronos I think. Uwaa. I need to re-read Declan's story to verify it. Haha. So nobody even Sabin and Rydstrom knows where Lanthe is after the commotion that happens at the island. Their whereabouts are left unknown. So I presumed that the 13th installment will be their story, but was shocked but not disappointed when it's another MaCrieve's story. But really, Tita Kresley knows how to make her fans happy. After she left us hanging, wondering what happens to Thronos x Lanthe she ends our torments and sufferings! Hahaha. At last, the countdown to their much-awaited love story has begun! I am sooo excited even if it's still next year! IAD means so much to me so every little/big thing that is being given to us by Tita Kresley is being treasured and anticipated!

Can't still believe it. Haha. Can't recover. Won't recover. FAN-GIRLING mode super activated! <3

How Not To Be Seduced By Billionaires Trilogy: Review



BOOK NAME:  Chased, Courted, Caged
AUTHOR:  Marian Tee
RELEASE DATE:   2013
MAIN CHARACTERS:  Constantijin Kastein, Yanna Everleigh
GENRE:  Contemporary, Erotica
RATING:  ★★★★✰  stars

BLURB:  

My name is Yanna Everleigh. I used to think that being an old-fashioned virgin would be enough to keep gorgeous, sexy billionaires away - well, at least the kind who didn't do love at least. But I was wrong. If anything, it simply made my billionaire want me even more.

His name is Constantijin Kastein. He blows hot and cold, arrogant and cynical one moment and then disarmingly sweet the next. He makes me forget all about waiting for true love and just go for mind-blowingly hot sex. But he's also Netherlands' #1 playboy, and I'm my own worst enemy. I must be on my guard.

Maybe if I play hard to get and pretend that my heart doesn't beat madly every time I see him - pretend that my body doesn't go weak when he's close - maybe he'll finally stop trying to seduce me.

Or not.
