Blood Feud by Alyxandra Harvey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
was a bit dragging until the middle part of the book. i liked the story though but i just hate when the author is trying to introduce the past of the main protagonist. But I loved it that she can kick some ass!

Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A good book with so much excitement and action that was vividly described by the author. It's well written and you'll not get bored. I also loved how the story goes, its plot, a mortal angel against reapers. I would loved to watch it the theaters if this will be made into one.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The heroine of A Discovery of Witches is an American called Diana Bishop, over in Oxford to research alchemical manuscripts in the Bodleian library. She calls up a book from the collection of Elias Ashmole; the illustrations are peculiar. Three pages are missing. Words shimmer across the page. Ashmole 782, Diana realises, is a palimpsest, loaded with occult messages protected by magic spells; she touches it, and the book "lets out a small sigh". Could this be because Diana herself is a witch, albeit trying to live in denial of her heritage.
Diana realized that she is being watched. The library is crawling with readers who look human but are in fact vampires, daemons, and witches. The scrutiny of one in particular is bothersome. He's "tall", with "broad shoulders" and "eyes as black as night". His name is Matthew Clairmont, he's a biochemist and a neuroscientist, a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a Fellow of All Souls. The mysterious book, Matthew thinks, contains a powerful secret, something to do with witches and vampires and junk DNA. In here, the mingling/interaction between the 3 species are frowned upon. Marriages between them are prohibited.
I liked the way the book is written. This is the first time I read a book by Deborah Harkness. It was well researched on English aristocracies and Salem witches. I enjoyed it and will recommend to friends though it was a long one.

American Vampire by Jennifer Armintrout
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Graf is a vampire who is on his way to Washington D.C. to celebrate with her maker, Sophia, the Fourth of July. But while enroute to D.C., he got lost because of his broken GPS. He ended up Penance, Ohio and finding Jessa hiding from the monster they call "It". After saving her, he realized that he'd better find shelter soon or he will be trapped outside at sunup. Graf realized he had made a wrong turn, to say the least, when Jessa explains that no one has been able to enter or leave Penance for the last 5 years.
This is the first time that I read a book written by Jennifer Armintrout. I can't say that it's good nor it's bad. Though, it was a little bit enjoyable in the later part of the story. It will keep you guessing on who's behind their dilemma.
