Review: Aurelia by Anne Ostertund

Publisher: Speak (April 17, 2008)
Paperback: 256 pages
Price: $8.99 from Amazon
Summary: Aurelia, the crown princess of Tyralt, wants control over her own life. Robert, her former classmate, wants Aurelia. And someone wants her...dead. There have been several narrowly escaped attempts to assassinate the princess, but the king has no desire to incite panic by making the information public. Instead, Robert, the son of the king's former royal spy, is allowed into the inner circle to secretly investifate and watch over Aurelia. Robert is determined to help, if only Aurelia would let him! But the princess will not heed the danger around her, and she does not need Robert to save her. Just as their friendship begins to grow into something more, the threat on Aurelia's life becomes paramount. WIth everything possible on the line - her life, her kingdom, her heart - Aurelia must take matters into her own hands, whatever the cost.

Rating:

Review: Aurelia is a stubborn crown princess of Tybalt, and she’s taken over the people’s hearts just like she’ll take yours. I really liked Aurelia’s character: she’s head-strong and determined at times, while at others she’s insecure and hurt. She comes off the page, and I felt myself wishing I could be as independent as Aurelia and empathizing with her through her family troubles. Anne Ostertund did a very good job showing how Aurelia is about to become a mature woman, but is partially still a young girl.

I really loved how the author depicted the setting; she went into just enough detail to make me feel like I was actually there experiencing the sights while not feeling weighed down by the excessive amount of words. And it had a princess, danger, and a charming prince, exactly the way I like it! I also liked reading one chapter from Aurelia’s point of view, then one chapter from Robert’s point of view. Not exactly an original idea, but it was good all the same. However, it did annoy me a little when Ostertund would use phrases like a “jaunty” tilt of the head.

The beginning is a bit slow as the author introduces the characters and setting, but once the plot started heating up as more clues were revealed, I really couldn’t put the book down! I think the mystery part was incorporated very well, and it made me want to keep reading to see what more Robert and Aurelia would discover. I had a pretty good guess of who the assassin was earlier on, but there was an unexpected twist at the end.

However, I was very dissatisfied with the ending, especially with the fact that nothing is done to punish the person arranging the assassination attempts. I felt it wrapped up pretty quickly and there is an open ending, one of my worst pet peeves. I was also very disappointed about the lack of romance. I know this is a young adult book, but Robert and Aurelia only kiss once throughout the entire book. I really liked them together and wanted to see more physical contact (though their romantic relationship is very evident throughout the book). Major points off for both of these areas!

Bottom Line: I would say Aurelia was a pretty solid book and a great debut novel for Anne Ostertund. Admittedly it isn’t an original idea, but Ostertund brings a fresh voice to an old idea in the form of a girl named Aurelia. If you want to read some light mystery with a very, very little bit of romance mixed in, go for this book (though I would mainly recommend it to teens/pre-teens). The only part I really dislike is the open ending which has me hoping for a sequel that I searched up and couldn't find, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Review: Vamped by Lucienne Diver

Publisher: Flux; 1 edition (May 1, 2009)

Paperback: 240 pages

Price: $9.95 from Amazon

Summary: Gina Covello's Perks and Pitfalls of Vamp Life:

1. Hello?! Eternal youth and beauty!

2. Free. Designer. Clothes.

3. My hot new boyfriend Bobby went from chess dud to vamp stud.
4. No reflection! First order of business: turn my own stylist to stop the downward spiral from chic to eek.

5. Vampire vixen Mellisande has taken an interest in my boyfriend, and is now transforming the entire high school into her own personal vampire army. If anyone's going to start their own undead entourage it should be me.

 I guess I'll just have to save everyone from fashion disasters and other fates worse than death.

Rating:

Review:

The Bad: First off, don't be deceived by the summary. I know it says "free designer clothes" and her having a "personal stylist," but they're not present much. This book is more of how Gina deals with the vampire problem with girly comments on the side. Not exactly original, but it's there.

The beginning really had me confused. The first thing you know, a girl, Gina, is waking up in a coffin and manages to figure out she's a vampire in a matter of minutes. She doesn't feel like a "flesh-eating" zombie, so duh! she has to be a vampire. She's been dead for about three days according to the "legends," which I'm not sure how she heard in her burried coffin, and is expecting Bobby, the hot guy she was making out with at the prom, to come through some mysterious communication. All in all, a very confusing beginning.

There are a lot of other mystifying scenarios and shallow conclusions, like how Gina knows the antagonist, Mellisande, is evil just by looking at her. I understand that the point of the book is to show how a "typical" girly teenager deals with vampire-dom, but I often found Gina's comments annoying. I felt like she had to complain about a manicure or shampoo every two pages! And her conclusions always had to be explained, some of which I think the author could have just left to common sense. I liked Gina's character better near the end, when she suddenly turns cold-hearted in the face of battle. You can tell I like strong, butt-kicking heroines. (:

The Good: There is a boogeyman in Vamped. That's not something you see everyday in paranormal books. He's creepy, he's gross, but he could possibly be one of my favorite characters in the book for making Gina squirm in fear.

Strong teenage voice. I really felt like the conversations and observations were from the view of a teenager, albiet an whiny, girly one, but a teenager all the same. And, like always, I like references to other things, so the Spiderman reference was appreciated. I can truthfully say I didn't get bored, but the book is very fast-paced. The whole story spans only a few days, and almost every minute is jam-packed with action or information.

Bottom Line: I borrowed this book, and let's just say I'm glad I did; I definitely would not be spending my money on this. Vamped isn't a horrible book, but it's one that I will never re-read, mainly because I found Gina too girly and spoiled.  Go ahead and read if  you want, but don't expect anything phenomenal or even great, especially with a leading guy named  Bobby (sorry, name fetish here).

Review: Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange

Publisher: Sourcebooks Landmark (August 11, 2009)

Paperback: 320 pages

Price: $10.19 from Amazon
Summary: A married man in posession of a dark fortune must be in want of an eternal wife...

Rating:

Review: Who's dark, aloof, and handsome with a pair of fangs? You guess it: Mr. Darcy. The heartthrob everyone knows from Pride and Prejudice returns in a sequel, married and undead. The book is in third-person and told from Elizabeth's perspective. Props to Amanda Grange for taking the risk and incorporating the paranormal in a beloved classic!

However, though the idea was good, I felt it could have been carried out better. I felt the "suspecting vampire" part was dragged out too long as Elizabeth does not find vampires are real until the final third of the book. For over 200 pages, Mr. Darcy is tormented over his being a vampire, while Elizabeth manages to accept it in a matter of a few pages, which I find very unrealistic. On the other hand, the ending felt a bit too rushed; everything worked out a bit too perfectly and conveniently. Though, despite being anti-climatic, I have to admit the ending was not what I expected at the start of reading.

I did get a little bored when reading and had to force myself to get through some parts where I felt nothing was happening. The fact that I did not believe for one second that they were in danger proably didn't help. For instance, though Elizabeth was frantic when she believed Darcy did not love her, she manages to be calm when an Ancient vampire wants to drink her blood. I also found myself with some unanswered questions and a couple unexplained quotes (which I'm not sure if I should post due to spoilers), though I can live with them.

On the positive side, Amanda Grange really managed to capture the essence of Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy, and I found it enjoyable reading about their post-marriage experiences. I really liked the occasional small references back to Pride and Prejudice. The settings and clothing were vividly depicted, and the conversation was witty. I can tell a lot of research was put into the book, something I always respect, and I felt like I was actually there with Elizabeth, visiting Paris, Italy, the Alps, and more.

Bottom Line: Mr. Darcy, Vampyre is an enjoyable and very attractive book (my weakness) with a good idea, great setting, flowing writing, and not-so-great plot. I would say that if you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice and the paranormal, you might want to give this one a try. However, if you're just looking to know what happens to Darcy and Elizabeth post-marriage, there are definitely better sequels out there.

My Ratings

Star ratings: 1-5 stars

Note that star ratings are based on entertainment value or my overall opinion. While the technical aspects of a book may raise or lower its star rating, that would only be because they affect my view of the book as a whole. While I judge this portion mainly by entertainment, I fairly often give an extra .5 star if I feel a technical aspect (writing, character, plot) is exceptionally strong.

5 star – Amazing! I LOVED this book. Usually, this book either made my cry or left me stunned at the ending. It's definitely a must read. :D

4.5 star – Great. Better than plain "entertaining," but it lacked the "wow" factor that comes with a 5 star book. Strong recommendation here.

4 star – Very good. Entertaining with easy overlooked flaws. This book comes with a solid recommendation to all fans of the genre or premise. For ones that aren’t as interested, I would still recommend giving this one a try.

3.5 star – Good, but with it's pitfalls. I had some fun times with this book, but there were some areas that prevented me from enjoying the book more. Enjoyable, but not stand-out.

3 star – Mildly enjoyable. Meh, mildly enjoyable, though fairly your run-of-the-mill, light read. I would say try it out a bit (look for an excerpt or check out your library) before deciding whether or not to read it.

2 star – Not really my type of book. This rating is usually caused by what I perceive to be a technical “flaw,” like an annoying character or lack of plot. While I wouldn’t necessarily be recommending this book to anyone, I would still say to give this one a try. It might not be my cup of tea, but it might be yours.

1 star – Did not like. Period. This was not only not my type of book, I did not like it overall. I would discourage you from reading it. 

Romance: Few word description.

Prevalence of romance in the book with a short description. I love reading about romance, so I’ll always comment on what I thought about the romance and how that affected my opinion of the book.

Cover: 1-5 stars

I occasionally will include another sentence or two if I want to elaborate. I usually don’t say anything, but believe me, if I give a 5 star, that means I literally LOVE a cover – like I’d be willing to bring that anywhere just to stare at it. The average rating is generally in the 3-4 star range.

--- note: reviews from February 16, 2011 no longer rate writing, plot, and characters on a 1.0-5.0 scale

Writing: 1-5 stars

Writing is a very important aspect for me. Choppy, blunt, distracting, and completely unbearable writing will get a 1 star, especially if there are grammatical errors or extremely vague pronouns (that’s why we have editors!). Will that 1 star ever happen? Most likely not. Nondescript writing will get around a 3, and flowing, vivid, and absorbing writing will get a 5 star.

Plot: 1-5 stars

If I feel there’s no movement in the story, or simply no plot at all? That’s a 1 star. An interesting, simple but enjoyable plot would be around a 3 star, and an intricate, creative, and wicked awesome plot will get a 5 star.

Character: 1-5 stars

Annoying and unrealistic characters automatically get a smack down to a 1 or 2 star. There still may be redemption in secondary characters, but I’ll most likely mention that in the “My Thoughts/Review” section or, rarely, in this section. Relatable characters that make me shed buckets of tears when they're sad get a 5.

Review Policy

Publicists, Publishers, or Authors:

**Note: Stats can be viewed by clicking the sitemeter button in my footer.

Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to look over my review policy. I would love to review books, do author interviews, host giveaways, and pretty much anything else concieveable and book-related. If you're interested in me reviewing a book for you, here's just some general guidelines I follow:

First, please note I'm a young adult book reviewer! I might take in the occasional middle grade book, but nothing else, sorry.

I accept ARCs as well as any already released books. I'm fine with either paper books or Kindle ebooks, though I prefer paper books. Paper books will be given preference in reviewing.

As of May 7th, 2011, I am currently not accepting self-published or indie e-books to review, sorry.

The genres I generally enjoy are:

• Paranormal romance
• Romance/chick-lit
• Dystopian
• Contemporary
• Historical fiction
• Mystery
• Fantasy

What I will not read: excessive horror or gore... I like some horror, but too much isn't my thing (i.e. The Hands of Forest and Teeth by Carrie Ryan was a pretty healthy dose; Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake)

Note: Any ARCs I receive I will not sell, but they might be used for giveaways. If you are against that, please tell me.

Also, please be aware that I cannot gaurantee a positive review, but I if I agree to review your book, that means I'm interested and will probably like it (at least a three-star rating). On the offchance that I don't, I will review it keeping in mind the fact that many hard hours were spent putting the book together. And, in that case, if you would rather I not review a book at all, please let me know. Email me and, trust me, I don't bite!

Thank you for reading and I hope to work with you in the future! :)

Welcome to Books at Midnight!

Hello, and welcome to my new blog, Books at Midnight!

I have always been an avid fan of reading, and I recently decided I want to share that passion through a book blog. I've been motivated to start my own through other amazing book blogs I've seen that introduced me to many new books. I can only hope that my blog will live up to those, and I'll do my best to post honest reviews. I mainly read YA books in the areas of paranormal romance, sci-fi (espcially with romance mixed in), historical fiction, romance, and fantasy (urban fantasy is my favorite); however, I'm open to new suggestions as well! :) This will definitely be a challenge for me, because school is starting soon, but I'll definitely try hard to be dedicated and post often.

Thank you for reading, and I hope we can enjoy many books together in the future.
