Heya, please don't hate me because I haven't been on in ages but I've been a very busy girl revising and doing all of my homework so please don't hate me!
I'm currently reading 'This is a call' By Paul Brannigan, its the life and times of Dave Grohl and I am a huge fan of his music so!
But I'm here today to talk about free books for kindle!
I know when you buy a free book, its a risk on whether they book is actually going to be any good, and so far I've read four kindle free books and they are Earth; Betrayal; Coexist and Shimmerspell. And two have been good and two bad so.
Heres a free one that I've Just downloaded:
Tears of the Broken (Dark Secrets) By A.M.Hudson
Vampires do not care about the myths people believe. They feed on humans, walk
in the daylight, and no, they certainly do not sparkle. The only problem is,
they don't usually fall in love with their food, either. But David Knight is
about to discover that love knows nothing of morals or laws.
When
Ara-Rose learns the truth about her boyfriend, David, she will be forced into a
world of death and secrecy. Living each day on a path lit by predictability, Ara
had never imagined such nightmares could exist. Now, her fate is measured by a
choice between eternal love and a normal life, a decision she only has until the
end of the summer to make.

Anna Dressed In Blood By Kendare Blake
Name: Anna Dresseed In Blood
Author: Kedare Blake
Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he
sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas
travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat.
Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the
murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill.

My Review:
This book is like nothing else I have ever read and to tell you the truth it was amazing! I loved this book so much and everything about it is to die for! The cover is beautiful, the characters are very loveable, and the story line was just perfect! I now love Kendare Blake for writing such an amazing book and I can't tell you how excited I am about reading the girl of nightmares! Ekkkk! If you own Anna dressed in blood and you love/are okay with horror then please read Anna Dressed in Blood!

ShimmerSpell By Kimberly Spencer

Rating: 2 out of 5
Blurb:
When sixteen-year-old Jensen Meadows finds herself caught in the middle of an ancient faerie war, she soon learns that faeries aren't made of sparkly goodness. They're vicious. And worse, they're after her. With the help of Liam Casey, she delves into their world to find her missing sister and begins to suspect that her whole life has been nothing more than a faerie tale.
But maybe some truths should never be revealed...
My Review:
This book confused me so much I no longer enjoyed reading it, also the ending was so guessable as it pretty much gave the end way half way through the book, But I shall read then second book but only because I have it, lets just sat if I didn't have it it wouldn't really bother me, this book was free on kindle which I'm really happy about because if I would have brought this book I'd be slightly annoyed!

Coexist By Julia Crane
Name: Coexist
Author: Julia Crane
Rating: 3 out of 5
Blurb:
Sixteen-year-old Keegan is struggling to keep her huge secret from her friends--she's an elf, descended from a long line of elves that live in secrecy alongside humans. In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are eighteen. Against tradition, Keegan's brother Thaddeus told her Rourk's name because his visions warned him she'd need Rourk's protection, especially since Keegan will play a key role in the coming war between the dark and light elves.
Rourk finds himself drawn to Keegan's side every time she thinks his name. He wants to talk to her but remains in the shadows, silently guarding her every time she mentally beckons him. A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known. An ancient prophecy deeply entwines Keegan's family and the future of their society. Somehow they must find a way to thwart fate and win the battle...without losing Keegan. With war brewing, and dark forces aligning, will Keegan and Rourk ever have the life together that they both desire?
My Review:
Really like the idea of this book and the fact it was about elves mades me want to read it even more but I didn't get on as well as I had hoped I would with this book, maybe it was because it was to modern for me as throughout the book it kept going 'Then Keegan logged out of her tumblr' and it just got so annoying as it even said what type of computer and phone she had! Will I read the other books in the Keegan Chronicles, maybe but I don't know as I'm not a huge fan of Cranes writting.

Betrayal By Mayandree Michel
Name: Betrayal
Author: Mayandree Michel
Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Where there is love and power, there is always... betrayal.
At seventeen, Cordelia is an ordinary teen with an extraordinary and frightening secret. A secret that induces vivid dreams which she not only experiences true love, but crippling fear while barely escaping with her life each night.
After a life altering event, Cordelia has an unexpected encounter with Evan, the mysterious boy from her dreams, who reveals who and what she is, a descendant of the Greek gods. At that moment everything she knows of her world is a lie, and she must leave the present and go into the past to assume the role she was put on this earth for, safeguarding her ancient empire amidst evil forces that toil hastily to destroy it.
In a race against time, Cordelia must decide if she is truly a part of this dangerous world, or risk defying the gods, and ultimately lose the boy who has put a claim on her heart.
My Review:
This book had everything in it, Greek Gods, Vampires, Were Shifters, Love, Forbidden Love and Betrayal! I loved the idea of this book even though it was quite confusing at the start, also it's the first in the Descendants Triology (I think it's going to be a triology anyway) which means one amazing thing, theres going to be more books! I fell in love with Evan, Nikolas and maybe evenb Victor. I believe this is Michels first book and so far she is looking like she is going to be an amazing new author!

Update post!
Hi guys,
I am going on holiday on 1st August-17th August so all posts will be done off my Phone which means there won't be a lot of posts probably just reviews, I probably won't get much reading done the first week or so because my cousins are also away with me but after that I should do lots of reading! I am Currently reading Betrayal (The Descendants book 1) By Mayandree Michel. I'm not taking any printed books on holiday with me unless I buy some at the airport (Which I probably will) so all of these books are read via Kindle.

Blurb:
Is Love a great enough power againist evil?
Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal boy, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone—especially herself...
My Review:
When I first got this book I wasn't to sure about it as I'd heard mixed things either you loved it or you hated it, a bit like marmite. Personally I loved it! It was an amazing book and wasn't like anyother angel book I've read and I can't wait for the rest of the series as they look equally as good! Hade is out but Heaven isn't yet but I believe it comes out later this month.
I loved how Adornetto had written in and she was so young when she started writting it aswell which makes it even better! Also I quite liked it how in the acknowledgements she said how this is a working project which you don't see very often in books!

Dreamless By Josephine Angelini
Name: Dreamless
Author: Josephine Angelini
Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Heartbroken and forbidden from being with Lucas, Helen has been tasked with breaking the curse that keeps them apart by killing the Furies. She spends her nights in the Underworld in search of them and, tormented by her worst nightmares made real, she's beginning to suffer from extreme exhaustion on top of heartbreak.
One night, Helen meets another person down in the shadowy Underworld: Orion, descended Adonis and with the power to control desire. Still in love with Lucas but drawn to this seductive stranger, Helen must make her choice that could save her life but break her heart...
My Review:
Dreamless is a beautiful book which has stayed so close to the truth and it didn't disapoint me what so ever and in ways it suprised me because of the way things went, Angelini is an amazingly talented author and the Awakening Series is her first set of books I have got high hopes for her in the future because this series so far has been amazing but one thing that does make me sad is that if there is going to be another book I am going have to wait at least another year for it!

Waiting on Wednesday 25/07/2012
*Waiting On Wednesday is a meme where you basically share an upcoming book that you’re excited to read. It’s hosted over at Breaking the Spine by Jill. *
The Book I am waiting for this week is Fire By Shauna Granger which I will be the 4th book in her Elemental series asI found out found Shauna herself. I have read the first one and I'm going to read the second and third as soon as possible and so far I am loving the series.
At the moment the is no cover art or blurb for Fire as it is still in the writing stages but it doesn't mean we can't get excited for it because it truly does sound amazing and Grangers next blog tour is in December so I am hopeing to take part it that because sadly I didn't see the sign ups for the last which I am really disappointed about because I would have loved to have taken part as I have never done a blog tour before.

Game of thrones By George R R Martin
Name: Game of thrones
Author: George R R Martin
Rating: 4 out of 5
Blurb:
Kings and queens, knights and renegades, Liars, Lords and honest men. All will play the Game of Thrones.
Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south where heat breeds plot, lusts and intrigues; to the vast frozen north, where a 700-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond.
The Game of thrones
You win, or you die.
My Review:
Other all I really liked this book as it is different to most book I have read also it has a brilliant storyline and characters to die for! Plus Martin is an amazing author who has a great talent for writing and I do look forward to reading the rest of these books. The only reason I rated it a 4 is because of the shear size of it and there is another 6 books! But I can't wait to read them.

30 Day book Challenge Day 12 and 13 and 14
Once again because my laptop doesn't like me it has decided not to publish my posts so sadly once again it is a catch up post.
Day 12 – A book you used to love but don’t anymore
For this I will have to say the 'Rainbow Magic' Books by Daisy Meadows. As a child I loved these books had pretty much all of them now when I look back at them I wonder why.
Day 13 – Your favourite writer
My favourite writer... this one is actually really hard I don't really have a favourite writer because they are all amazing! and beautifully talented. But if I had to choose it would have to br the amazingly talented J.K.Rowling.
Day 14 – Favourite book of your favourite writer
My favourite book of J.K.Rowlings would have to be 'Order of the Phoenix' because this book is so different to the others because it shows how life is for the wizarding world and we see all of the characters in a slightly different light.

Day 10: Favourite classic book
I don't tend to read Classic books, is that bad? If Of mice and men counts then that shall be my faveourite.
Day 11: A book you hated
I can not say a book which I hated because I don't like giving out negative feed back where everyone can see it and I don't really hate that many books, that is good as well.

30 Day Book Challenge: Day 8
Day 8: Most overrated book.
The most overrated book I have read would have to be Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, because everybody told me I should read it and that it was amazing, so I read it and I didn't enjoy that much it wasn't bad but I didn't really like it and when I reviewed it I think I gave it a 3, Twilight lovers please don't hate me. Personally I found the book quite boring and it was so easy what was going to happen. Also I think the series is quite boring because Bella doesn't do much and neither does Edward it only really gets could when Jacob comes into it.

30 Day Book Challenge: Day 7
Day 7: Most Underrated Book
For me the most underrated book i've read is either Ash By Malinda Lo or Earth By Shauna Granger, These books aren't very common in book store, I've only ever seen Ash once and that was the time I brought it and I've never seen Earth in store as I had it in Kindle form and it was a free book.
Personally I think these books should get more credit as I love them both so much and Ash's cover is just so beautiful!

30 Day book Challenage: Day 4
Day 4: Favourite book of your favourite series.
As I said yesterday my favourite book series is the Jurassic park Books by Michael Crichton and my favourite book out of the two has to the the first one, Jurassic Park, purely because I think it has a better story line and isn't so confusing, I loved the film and it is the only film I have had to buy other two times because I watch it so much it gets scratched but I adore the books, there is so much more detail in them and it's just A-MAZ-ING!

30 Day book Challenage: Day 2
Day 2: A book that you’ve read more than 3 times
A book which I have read over three times would have to be Steve and Me By Terri Irwin, although this isn't the type of book I normally read I loved every second of it and I am a huge fan of all the Irwins which is mainly why I've read it so many times.

Breaking Dawn By Stephenie Meyer
Name: Breaking Dawn
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Rating: 3 out 5
Blurb:
'Don't be afraid' I murmured 'We belong together'
I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words. This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it. His arms wrapped around me, holding me againist him ... It felt like ever nerve in my body was live wire.
'Forever,' he argeed.
My review:
Overall I found this book really predictable that might just be me but it was very easy to guess what was going to happen and I have seen part one of the film and the film was much better than the book, please don't hate me Twilight fans I just think it could have been much better and it was quite simply personally I don't think you need 4 books, maybe just one or two would do it because they have gone a bit over the top.
I do not hate this book but I don't really like which is why I gave it three stars.

30 day book challenage: Day 1 What is the best book you read last year.
Te best book I probably read last year would be Passion by Lauren Kate (The review is there) I loved this book so much! I couldn't put it down, I read it in two days whilst on my holiday I loved every single second of that book, also I learnt so much and in a way I wish there was another book like that in the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate because I haven't read another book like that one.
It was hard to pick a favourite book from last year and there was some that are worthy of going on here but Passion over all was the best, also I love the whole of the Fallen Series and I can't think of a title more worthy of the best book I read last year.
Some of the titles that could have won it:

Cover Analysis: 7/7/2012
Cover Analysis is a weekly theme when we analysis the cover so some amazing books, all credit of this goes to Cover Analysis.
The cover I am going to Analysis this week this the cover of the book I am currently reading, which is the Game of Thrones.
I love the gold upon the cover it gives it a rich feeling and the dragon hints to me a bit of Mytholgy which I love, although the font is basic it is good because with the good background anything to fancy might look a little over the top also the silver and bronze font hints out more richness. Although it may be quite a basic cover it is a brilliant one which has been well designed to fit it's purpose because there is some covers which are a tiny bit over the top.

Jurassic Park: The lost world By Michael Crichton
Name: The Lost World
Author: Michael Crichton
Rating: 4 out of 5
Blurb:
It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since that extraordinary dream of science came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled the island indefinitely closed to the public.
There are rumours that something has survived.
My Review:
I liked this book a lot but not as much as the first one, in a way I found it as a disappointment because they first one was so great and the second not so great, but overall I still think it was a good book but it could have quite easily been better because I found it quite confusing, I also didn't understand most of the second film because parts of one and two are thrown into the film, but still the second book is way better than the film. I did really like this book but it could have been better I think would be the best way to put it.

Waiting on Wednesday 4/7/12
*Waiting On Wednesday is a meme where you basically share an upcoming book that you’re excited to read. It’s hosted over at Breaking the Spine by Jill. * The Book I am waiting for is actually coming out tomorrow in England, so I shall not be waiting long.
The Book I am waiting for is Dreamless by Josephine Angelini the Second book in the Starcrossed series.
Blurb:
Can true love be forgotten?
As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.
Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.
As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.
Se why I am so excited! I cannot wait, as soon as I buy Dreamless I will be placing it straight towards the top of my reading pile!
The Release date In England is: 5th July 2012

My Sisters Keeper By Jodi Picoult

Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now.
My Review:
If you have seen the film then I tell you now the book is 100,000 times better. Because in the books you see more of characters as they truly come alive as they all have a battle of their own to defeat and Kates for her. I think that everybody should read this book because it shows you how lucky we are, as people without Cancer. Words cannot display how many tears I cried after this book!

Rating: 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people's survival hangs in the balance.
To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls' destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever
My Review:
A simply beautiful book! I loved every second of it! Malinda Lo is a amazing author and I would recommand her books to pretty much anybody. You are drawn in frim page 1 until the end because you want to find out what is going to happen, will Taisin and Kaede complete their task which the fairy queen has set them or will something happen along the way?

Fallen by Lauren Kate
Name: Fallen

Rating 5 out of 5
Blurb:
Some Angels are Destined to Fall
There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her
My Review:
I read this book ages ago but I was looking through my reviews and noticed it wasn't there so... I love this book and could read it over and over again because it is simply brilliant! I couldn't put it down and it one of my favorite books of all time! I picked this book and everything just went right! I think that would be the best way to put it!

Ash By Malinda Lo
Name: Ash
Author: Malinda Lo
Rating 4 out 5
Blurb:
In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.
My Review:
Ash is a beautiful written book and is a book I truly did enjoy but the only problem I found with it was that the first time I tried to read it I gave up and it wasn't until I went back to it that I really enjoyed it, Strange hey? But once I truly got into this book I could not put it down and it is now one of my favorites and Malinda Lo is a Smashing author who took a story which everybody knows and loves and changed it to a slightly different story with a brilliant ending and not one that you would think was going to come.
