Review: Blood Skies


Blood Skies (Print Edition)Blood Skies by Steven Montano

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I've become stingy with my five star reviews. And here's why I hit this book with one - it totally won me over and I couldn't guess everything! Pick it up, you won't regret it.



I read alot and I think that the curse of this is that I frequently pick up a book and have most of it figured out by halfway through at the latest, not so with Montano's Blood Skies.



Vampires, check (and not the cute and fuzzy sparkly kind), unicorns (check, and again not so cute and fuzzy), witches, warlocks, grenades (yup that's right I said grenades) and magic, lots of interesting magic. I love worlds with magic, I really do and this book has it in spades. It is also full of adventure, and characters that are unique and plot twists that surprised me. I love being surprised when I read.



And this is just the first book, there are more on the way! So looking forward to what's coming.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little.

I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
