Radiant Reviews #10


It is time once again for my book review meme – Radiant Reviews!

It is so easy to take part and hopefully anybody who does take part will get more comments on their reviews, find lots of great books to read and find new blogs to follow!  The only downside to participating in this meme is that your TBR pile may grow seriously out of control!!!

Radiant Reviews was inspired by Cym Lowell’s Book Review Party Wednesday.

OK, so here is how you can take part:

1. Place a link to your review of a book you have loved into Mister Linky below.  It must be a book that you have really enjoyed and that you would like to recommend to other bloggers.  In the section for your name, please put the name of your blog, the title of the book and its genre (all genres are welcome in Radiant Reviews).  In the URL section, please leave a direct link to your review – not just your blog URL.

2. Place my Radiant Reviews button, or some other kind of link to Chrissie’s Corner, on the review that you have linked to.  This is to promote the meme in the hope that more and more people will take part every week.

3. Visit other people’s reviews and leave comments if you can. I know that on my blog (and it might be the same for some of you other bloggers out there) it is the reviews that receive the least amount of comments and I think this is a real shame as they are the posts which take the most time and effort. So do please try to leave comments and show other bloggers some love!

And that’s all there is to it, so here goes…

Review – Shadow of the Vampire by Meagan Hatfield

 

Publisher – Harlequin
Publication Date – 1st July 2010
Genre – Paranormal Romance

Source – From netGalley for review

Book Information -Vampire princess Alexia Feodorovna has been undead for 125 years, so it’s been a while since any man has made her pulse race.  Until Declan Black.  One look at his bronzed body and a fire like no other consumes her.  Then she discovers that he’s a dragon lord come to take revenge on the vamps who killed his parents.  And claim a crystal said to imbue its owner with incredible powers.
Alexia is ordered to torture and kill the dragon lord.  Yet with each reckless encounter, she finds herself
consumed by his fiery passion.  A passion Declan battles, as well.  Will he be able to resist the fire of lust she kindles within him and keep revenge in his heart?  Or will he risk everything to quench the burning desire and claim the vampire as his own?

Review – Alexia is just days away from becoming the new vampire queen, when Declan, a dragon lord, steals a powerful crystal from the vampire horde.  He is captured in the process, and it is up to Alexia to torture him in order to find out where the crystal is.  However, Declan and Alexia can’t deny the passion that they feel for each other.  To complicate matters the dragons are planning a rescue mission to get Declan back, Alexia’s soon-to-be stepfather, Lotharus, has plans to take over the throne himself instead of allowing Alexia to rule, and the dragons and vampires are sworn enemies who would never accept a relationship between their two leaders.  Declan and Alexia have a lot to overcome if they are to be together.
The first thing I would like to say about this book is that I fell a little bit in love with Declan.  He is strong, loyal, protective and has a body to die for *swoon*. Ahem, anyway back to the review!  I have never read a book about dragons before so this was an interesting new take on the paranormal genre for me.
I also really like the character of Alexia.  She is a feisty lady who can see straight through Lotharus and his wicked ways and who is strong enough to survive the worst of what he puts her through.  I think that Declan and Alexia complement each other perfectly as a couple and there is a huge amount of sexual chemistry between them.  Although there are a lot of steamy scenes between these two, they also obviously care about each other a great deal and are willing to put themselves in danger to protect each other.
Apart from the aforementioned steamy scenes between Declan and Alexia there is also a great plot, which can sometimes be hard to find in paranormal romance novels.  A lot of this plot revolves around Lotharus, who is the bad guy that everybody will love to hate!  This book has moments of lust, romance, suspense, action, betrayal, hope and intrigue and all of this makes for a book that is impossible to put down!  I definitely recommend this book to any fans of paranormal romance and I can’t wait to read something else written by Meagan Hatfield!

New Book Review Meme Starting Here Tomorrow!!!

I have decided that it is about time I started hosting my own meme, and I am so excited about it!!!

The meme is called ‘Radiant Reviews’ and is a way to link up reviews for books that we have read and loved, meaning that any bloggers who take part will hopefully receive more comments on their reviews, find brilliant new books to read and find new blogs to follow all in one place! What more could anybody want – and it is sooo easy to take part!

‘Radiant Reviews’ will be held every Thursday (starting from tomorrow) and was inspired by Cym Lowell’s Book Review Party Wednesday.

So, here is how you can take part -

1. Every Thursday I will post a Mister Linky where you can put a link to any review on your blog (new or old) of a book that you have loved.

2. Place my ‘Radiant Reviews’ button or a link to Chrissie’s Corner on the review that you have linked to, so that other people will hopefully see it and want to take part too.

3. Visit other people’s reviews and leave comments if you can. I know that on my blog (and it might be the same for some of you other bloggers out there) it is the reviews that receive the least amount of comments and I think this is a real shame as they are the posts which take the most time and effort. So do please try to leave comments and show other bloggers some love!

And it is as simple as that! So please spread the word of this great new meme and I hope to see you on tomorrow!
