Voice of Gods - Eleanor Herman (Blood of Gods and Royals #.5)

I am all for Greek Gods and the Greek Life. I have been obsessed with it since Aimeé Carter's Goddess Test series and yet none of them seem to amount to them until I ran into Jennifer L. Armentrout's Covenant series. Now, I am jumping into the Blood of Gods and Royals series by Eleanor Herman. 

Published Date: July 15, 2015

Genre: Fantasy/Young Adult/Historical Fiction

Synopsis: As the end of an age approaches, gods whisper horrors, families scheme for power, and one woman may hold the secret to a lost legacy.

At 19, Ada of Caria yearns to take the Snake Blood throne from her mad older siblings—and seeks the help of a young orphaned girl named Helen, the first True Oracle to have walked the earth in more than three hundred years.

Helen may be able to channel the voice of the gods, but she hates her gift, and will do anything to get rid of it—even lie to her best friend, Myrtale, the priestess-princess of Epirus who is destined to marry King Philip II of Macedon even though she loves another. And in the shadows lurks a handsome green-eyed stranger who has more at stake—and more to lose—than anyone could possibly imagine.Amid jealousy and heartbreak, torrid affairs and secret rendezvous, it is spoken by the gods that either Helen or Myrtale —newly named Olympias— will carry the destiny of the known world within her womb.
The prequel to LEGACY OF KINGS, VOICE OF GODS traces the intricate web of love and betrayal that led up to the birth of history’s most powerful leader, Alexander the Great. 
I liked the series prequel enough to rate this a good 3.8 stars out of 5 but I only took off 1.2 points due to the fact that it was a confusing plot line. 

I really do like Helen because she fights her urges and saddness that she will never be a mother nonetheless a virgin. She kisses men with passion but very reserved so at the end of the book, I was a bit appalled as to what happened to her.

Myrtle/some p-name (I think)/Olympias, you are one evil b%$&@! just because something just not go your way and when you hear of the prophecy, it gave you no right to give direct order considering that you are not his only wife. You only care about yourself and when your 'friend' decided to confide in you, you just would not shut up about your own love life. Yes, you have men falling at your feet. Yes, you are having a child. Yes, you are having an affair. I just do not like you right now. Understand that much.

Ada, okay. Princess. Snake-Blood. Hates her brother and sister's incest marriage.Her favorite brother killed in front of her. I like her but just because again something does not go your way, it gives you no right to be upset considering that certain someone just saved your arse from being burned to oblivion. 

K.

Rant is over.

The Visit (Movie Review)

Released Date: September 11, 2015

Genre: Horror/Thriller

Synopsis: 

Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and younger brother Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) say goodbye to their mother as they board a train and head deep into Pennsylvania farm country to meet their maternal grandparents for the first time. Welcomed by Nana (Deanna Dunagan) and Pop Pop (Peter McRobbie), all seems well until the siblings start to notice increasingly strange behavior from the seemingly charming couple. Once the children discover a shocking secret, they begin to wonder if they'll ever make it home.

No spoiling the newest thriller that has hit theaters. Whenever I see my grandmother now, I am inching away slowly. Honestly, I thought this movie was just another Hansel & Gretel movie because of the whole oven scene shown in the commercials and allowing them to eat as much as they wanted but it just had less candy houses and more video camera action. Near the end, you could tell something good was still going to come out of it but this movie made me cringing or flinching at every turn.

I wish that I could tell you my favorite part within it but all I will say is that it includes cookies, nightfall, and Yahtzee, the board game. Oh and of course Nana.

I give much praise to the cast of The Visit for actually giving me the heebie jeebies as I was walking to my car late at night. I would have reviewed this movie right after I got home but I kind of just fell asleep... Things never seem to go the way that I want them too.

Anyways, I rate this movie a good 3.5 stars out of 5 and I am also glad about the fact that it was not crazy expensive but I don't think that I could watch this movie. it was not necessarily a monstrosity but there were moments in the movie that had you questioning it. I do love good jump scares though.

Alright, I will blog you later, awesome nerds and I hope to back with The Voice of Gods - Eleanor Herman and City Love - Susane Colasanti.

Release Date: Sexy - J.A. Huss

Oh wow, this book is hot, hot, hot. It is sexy, hilarious, crass, and yet beautifully put together. This New Adult has been released today and I am drinking up this novel like no other. Fletcher is a dancer that speaks the language of music and girls. Only one problem though, he loves his one night stands but once he lays eyes on Tiffany, he is drawn to getting to know her both clothed and undressed.

I wanted to wish J.A. Huss, a New York Times Best Selling Author, happy book birthday to this beautiful novel and she is so generous during her giveaways that if you just go to her site, she has a bunch of giveaways, pertaining to this book!

Published Date: September 9, 2015

Genre: New Adult

Synopsis: Imagine the man of your dreams. 

The blue eyes. The unruly blonde hair. The perfect abs. How strong his muscular thighs feel as you dig your fingernails into the denim of his jeans.
Now imagine looking up to meet his gaze as he guides you towards his belt. Offers you a new life, a new destiny, a whole new world as he teaches you how to make him moan. Coaches you in the art of being sexy.

Would you say no? Could you say no?

Fletcher Novak is that perfect man and he just made Tiffy Preston the offer of a lifetime. And all she has to do is... everything he tells her.

Here is a little special for everyone... J.A. Huss has put out this stand-alone novel for $2.99 just for the release week!

I am loving this book. It's funny. It's heartbreaking. It's erotically romantic. It's hot. It is literally Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL all put into one novel that will have you jumping out of your seats and falling over the floor, drooling over Fletcher. He chases after the one girl that wants a serious relationship with one guy but had a one-night stand with him. He wants her. He just doesn't know how to show it other than turning her on and away towards the other guy. But he wants...No, is teaching her the art of sexy to help her get him. Will she be able to endure his lessons without falling for him?

Fletcher Novak acts like he is too cool for relationships and real-life like his job until he meets Tiffany Preston, his boss's boss's daughter. Yeah, that elite girl. Oh and her best friend? Totally adorable when it comes to trying to secretly get them together. 

Although I am only on chapter 16, I can pretty much tell into the future and rate this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I am only knocking one star off because it's packed into so much when she could have made a series out of it. I love J.A. Huss, nonetheless.

I am currently also working on City Love - Susane Colasanti and The Voice of Gods - Eleanor Herman. So far, I am indifferent on both of the books... Let's see how the ends turn out.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds and I will be back to review some more.
