&

Jaime & Patricia @ 2 Chicks on Books

 

 

Today I'm taking a page out of Rachel @ Fiktshun's book & spotlighting VILLAINS today!

 

#10

Miles De'Luca

Cold Blood - By Heather

 

Miles takes the term wing-nut to a completely different level. I mean he wants to have a relationship with his cousin & rule the world. Mental Case!

 

#9

Ava & Luka

Savor - By Megan Duncan

Talk about a match made in crazy heaven!

Both are power hungry and willing to destroy anything that gets in their way.

#8

 Jelena (a.k.a Crazy Bitch)

Descended By Blood - By Angeline Kace

Kick ass & cause havoc, that's exactly what describes her! I do love how she ignites so much fury inside of Brooke though, so I guess she does serve some sort of a purpose.

#7

Marshall Cross

Touch - By Jus Accardo

Heartless. That's the only word that comes to mind when I think of Dez's dad. My god, he even kept his daughters mother locked up in that hell hole & told Dez that she died!

It doesn't much more heartless then that.

 

 

#6

Riley Williams

Exiled - By M.R. Merrick

 

Who banishes their own son AND wife? Really, who does that?! Oh, wait, this prime specimen of a man, that's who! And that's just the tip of the twist iceberg he sits upon, it gets SO much better!

 

 

#5

Devin

Rosemary and Rue - By Seanan McGuire

 

This one blindsided me, and usually I'm pretty good about spotting things, but WHOA! Manipulative, deceitful little shit. Yet at the same time I should have seen it coming, I mean he runs Home for Fae-sake!

 

 

 

#4

Cat's Father

One Foot in the Grave - Jeaniene Frost

 

Slim-ball to the 100th power! Who puts a hit on their daughter, then is coward enough to hide. I can't wait to see justice served further on in this series!

 

 

 

#3

Shane

Captivated - Deb Apodaca

 

Sneak little snake is what he is! Shane sure does know how to lay on the charm, but Dean just needs to kill him already!

 

 

 

#2

Warner

Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi

 

For those who put this weirdo on the BF list....you are twisted. I understand that he may need help, but my help would be a bullet to the head. Trying to say him & Juliette are the same is like trying to nail Jell-o to the wall, it doesn't work.

 

 

 

 

#1

V'lane

Shadowfever - By Karen Marie Moning

 

Some of you may be saying, "V'lane, NO!", but I say yes! He's cunning, stealthy & hides his true nature with grace. So to me he absolutely belongs on this list!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who are your Top Characters of the year? Are the Best Friends, Villains, Couples, who stuck out the most to you?

Vlog Review: Savor (Warm Delicacy Series - Book #1) - By Megan Duncan

Author: Megan Duncan

Website

Release Date: 10/2011

Purchase Info: Amazon, B & N, Smashwords

When Claire Miller turned eighteen all she wanted to do was celebrate her birthday, but after a night on the town with her best friend she awakes to a visitor she never expected.  The rulers of her region, a vampire royal family, have chosen her to be turned as their new heir and vampire princess.  In a world fueled by the power of blood, Claire quickly discovers the vampire royal family is not what they seem and that she has secrets in her past, she never knew existed.



Savor was awesome!

I will be writing a review, but for now I needed to let you all know just how great this book is!

Written Review:

What a book!

The world that Megan created around Claire is quiet brilliant!

Your 18th birthday is about freedom. Getting your ID, partying with friends, having your blood cataloged, you know the usual. Well in Claire's world, this is the usual. You are required to supply the vampire royal family with blood, in return you receive safety & rule of the government. As quickly as Claire's able to enjoy her future, it's taken away. Her blood is compatible with the King & Queen Vampire, and they want her to become the heir to their throne. Wait, what?? Claire is now faced with the decision to become a vampire or not. (In this part of the book I felt as though she truly struggled with her decision, which is why I connected with her so.) Feeling as though she's destined to do great things, Claire does step up to the plate and becomes a vampire princess.

Following her transformation jealous is a HUGE factor around the palace.  One of the families that has been living with the King and Queen for years thought that they'd be next in line for the throne, now with Claire as the heir, their b---not nice---daughter Ava feels the need to make Claire's life hell. (seriously, this chick has issues) Pushing through all this, the King & Queen (or mom and dad) inform everyone in the region that Claire will be placed with a Blood Mate to ensure her safety. Like her own personal security guard, but super strong & fast.

As the story unfolds, all the little loose ends suddenly come together. Creating a story that you NEVER would have seen coming a mile away. Then the book ends...of course...so now I am patiently awaiting book #2. Don't laugh, yes I have patience...sort of.

4/5
