Ebook: Silver Smoke (Seven Halos series) by Monica Leonelle and a Kindle Fire Giveaway!

2011-12-22T16:00:00.000+08:00

To celebrate the release of a new novel to the Seven Halos series, author Monica Leonelle is doing a Kindle Fire giveaway for Silver Smoke, the first novel in the series! Silver Smoke is the highly-rated (4.8 stars on Amazon) debut novel about the Hallows and the Nephilim, the descendants of archangels and humans. Here's a description of the book:

Brie van Rossum has fame, fortune, and beauty, but there’s one thing she doesn’t have–the name of her mother’s supernatural killer.

The Hallows, descendants of the archangels, don’t think Milena was murdered.. but can Brie trust them when their government, the New Order, wants her dead?

She’d better figure it all out soon…

… because when Brie finds out who she really is, the hunt will begin.

And Milena might not be the only casualty.

Like mother, like daughter…

Book Review: Cage of Stars by Jacquelyn Mitchard

2009-11-16T17:25:00.003+08:00

I read this book 2 months back and liked the story very much – its turn outs despite of the book cover which was almost in tatters and not appealing at all. Oh the book cover posted here isn't the same one.

The author, Jacquelyn Mitchard sense of style is as almost the same as Jodi Picoult where emotions of the reader is twisted as each page is turned and forwarding complex issues that at times are unspoken of.

The story tells of the life of a teenager and her family which was brutally shattered with the deaths of her two young sisters and ordeal that they go through. Cage of Stars is not a light read to say the least as the storyline is very intense on the subject matter.

A story that tells how the young girl overcame her grief, pain, anger and vengeance toward the man who caused it all as well as trying to understand him of how he could do such deed on innocent lives… Always thinking whether he the killer feels any remorse of his act…And what could she have done to undo of such event to happen to her loved ones…. Accepting the situation, moving forward and learning to forgive – the killer, her parents (of how they dealt the situation at the time and the years that went by) and herself.

As the main character, she brings the story to life with her complexity. Kudos to the author who did a good job of binding the storyline together with no hurriedness that some literary themes such as the coming-of-age and first love was not left out. Rating: 5/5

Sorry, book currently not available for sale.Promo will be announced once I am back on my feet :)

Mystery

*The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell & Dust~~in Thomson (Paperback)~~

A compelling modern thriller that cleverly combines history and mystery. When four Princeton seniors begin the Easter weekend, they are more concerned with their plans for the next year and an upcoming dance than with a 500-year-old literary mystery. But by the end of the holiday, two people are dead, two of the students are injured, and one has disappeared. These events, blended with Renaissance history, code breaking, acrostics, sleuthing, and personal discovery, move the story along at a rapid pace. Tom Sullivan, the narrator, tells of his late father's and then a roommate's obsession with the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a 15th-century "novel" that has long puzzled scholars. Paul has built his senior thesis on an unpopular theory posited by Tom's father–that the author was an upper-class Roman rather than a monk–and has come close to proving it. While much of the material on the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili is arcane and specialized, it is clearly explained and its puzzles are truly puzzling, while the present-day action is compelling enough to keep teens reading. There is a love interest for Tom and a lively portrayal of Princeton life. This novel will appeal to readers of Dan Brown's TheDa Vinci Code (Doubleday, 2003) but it supplies a lot more food for thought, even including some salacious woodcuts from the original book as well as coded excerpts and their solutions.

*The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. ~~Carrell~~ ~~(Paperback)~~

A modern serial killer - hunting an ancient secret. A woman is left to die as the rebuilt Globe theatre burns. Another woman is drowned like Ophelia, skirts swirling in the water. A professor has his throat slashed open on the steps of Washington's Capitol building. A deadly serial killer is on the loose, modelling his murders on Shakespeare's plays. But why is he killing? And how can he be stopped? A gripping, shocking page turner, The Shakespeare Secret masterfully combines modern murder and startling true revelations from the life of Shakespeare. It has been acclaimed as one of the most compulsively readable thrillers of recent years.

*Eldest by Christopher Paolin (Hardback - Collecter's Item) RM50.00

Surpassing its popular prequel Eragon, this second volume in the Inheritance trilogy shows growing maturity and skill on the part of its very young author, who was only seventeen when the first volume was published in 2003. The story is solidly in the tradition (some might say derivative) of the classic heroic quest fantasy, with the predictable cast of dwarves, elves, and dragons--but also including some imaginatively creepy creatures of evil.
