Burned - A House of Night Novel (P C. & Kristin Cast)

About:
Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her.  But how?  He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates.  And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left… 
 
Enter  BFF Stevie Rae.  She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own.  The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences.  Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good.  The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.
 
In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, human, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it).  She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not.  Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.
 
Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.



One more book. This one is better then few books before. As always, I love it.

Tko je ubio Pašteticu (Silvija Šesto)

Again, it's one more Croatian book. I liked it, it's fun and serious at the same time. "Paštetica" is radio show for kids. If you translate title it would be "Who killed Paštetica". If you are anyhow able to read it, try.

Tempted - A House of Night Novel (P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast)

About:
So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night series, TEMPTED. 


I love HoN, but how far the story is going, books are worse. I think it's because writers are trying to make a lot of books. Too much books. Well, they are sellining, that's for sure. But in the whole book, they are describing maybe a few days of Zoey's life. But whole story, in general, is great.


Characters: Zoey, Stark, Aphrodite, Stevie Rae, Kalona...

The Old Man and the Sea (Ernest Hemingway) [1952]

Genre: Tragedy, Novella


About:
An epic battle between an old, experienced fisherman and a giant fish, later, when he catches it, he has to fight with sharks. In the end, the fish is eaten. 


It's a good book, but nothing special. Now I feel like that dumbass people who don't appreciate art, but the book is strenuous. Not enough happenings, yet too many unnecessarily description.


Characters: Old man Santiago, Manolino

Hunted - A House of Nigh novel (P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast)

About:
What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you? At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey’s friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren’t Neferet’s secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn’t want to hear and truths she can’t face? 


I loved it. I love HoN, in general. This book is stretched, but it's great in general. Stark is the best ;)


Characters: Zoey Redbird, Erik Night, James Stark...

The Vampire Diaries 2 - The Struggle (L. J. Smith)

About:
Elena quickly realizes that the only thing more dangerous that being in love with a vampire is being desired by two. As Stefan struggles to suppress his instinctive thirst, Damon persists in his quest for Elena's heart. A dark turn of events forces Elena to risk her mortality to save one of her immortal suitors.


This book is better then first one, but neither is this one very good. The idea that book is based on is great, but L. J. Smith is not so good in writing. I like series more (this is not usual for me). However, if L. J. Smith didn't write books, there would not be series, so thank you, L. J. Now, I have to watch second season.


Characters: Elena Gilbert, Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief written by Rick Riordan

I'm sure you have heard about this movie, but i have read a book [and watched the movie, but it's not the theme right now]. It's really cool. Like I'm saying, books are kind of better then movies cause you can learn more in them, know exactly how caracter feels. The book is really great, written for children /teenagers/. I love it. But the good thing about movies is that you can look at actors. haha. E.g., in book, Percy is younger then in the movie. That's good. ^^ 
Anyway, it's really great. Read it.

The Host

People, this book is great. Stephanie Meyer did a great job. Again. I didn't think that this one will be as good as Twilight saga and I was right. Well, nothing can beat Twilight, but this is almost as good. Actually, I love it. You guys should read that :D
Some kind of aliens (I know, now it seems stupid, but it's not. Try to read it.) are occupying Earth. And there's only few real humans left. What will happen? Find out :P
