Novels I Have Recently Read

The 'Blue Bloods' series  (by Melissa De La Cruz)- Follow Schuyler Van Alen as she discovers not only that she is a vampire, but that she comes from a line of vampires. Her family had made enemies of other immortals in the past, can Schuyler find out who they are before they destroy her family? And how many of her human friends will suffer until then? I would rate this series 3 out of 5 stars.
The Crystal Shard (by R.A. Salvatore)- The amazing fourth book to the 'Legend of Drizzt' series. Drizzt is now in the company of the dwarves belonging to 'Ten-Towns'. He meets a halfling by the name of Regis, a barbarian named Wulfgar, a dwarf king named Bruenor, along with Bruenor's adopted daughter Cattie-Brie. Drizzt trains Wulfgar to be trained for combat. The story also follows an evil warlock (Akar Kessel) who gains the power a magical crystal shard, 'Crenshinibon'. The crystal allows it's wielder the power to create large sanctuary-like towers, and to enter the minds of those around him/her to get them under his/her control. Unfortunately, for Akar, it also controls it's wielder. Can Drizzt defeat Akar without the crystal entering his mind and disabling his ability to fight? Read the book and find out! I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
The Eagle of the Ninth  (by Rosemary Sutcliff)- This story follows a young Roman (Marcus Flavius Aquila)  centurion as he fights to recover the missing Eagle totem. It is a journey he must make to not only recover the totem, but the honor of his family and the the Ninth legion. I would rate this book 4.5 out of 5.


Hope you enjoy these books as I did!
Thanks for reading!
