The Horde Without End is the second book in Nazarea Andrews The World Without End series and I friggin’ had a hard time putting it down. This was one intense nail-biting novel that may now give me nightmares.

I have been itching to find out what is going to happen next to Fin and Nurrin, and of course Nazarea gives us yet another cliff-hanger. Ahhh!!!!

Fin and Nurrin are going to go through heck in this book due to the horde of zombies and the Order ganging up on them. There’s also the case of Fin keeping secrets from Nurrin. His name is important and she has no idea why. She’s curious, but she’s driving Fin crazy with the questions. In The Horde Without End lots of mysteries of what happened to make zombies, some truth of Fin will be discovered, and a new threat will pop up on Fin and Nurrin. There’s also the dilemma of finding Nurrin’s brother Collin and her boyfriend Dustin. So many clues…but not enough answers on what happened to them.

I loved every bit of the suspense of what Fin and Nurrin are going through in this book. There’s not only the issues of the zombies, the Order, but there’s also the sexual tension between the two. I was thinking the whole time, just get it on already. You two know you love each other. Nazarea doesn’t make it easy for either one of them. (They drove me crazy at times…but I still love these two characters. They are both strong and stubborn, but awesome as a team together.

I have a new enemy I hate in this book now after reading this book, and the cliffhanger makes it even worse on hating this person. Grrr!!! I hope the next book comes out soon because I know it will be hard to wait. That darn cliffhanger! (notice I keep mentioning the cliffhanger…just a warning for others to prepare ahead of time before reading the first and second book)

If you haven’t read the first book yet, you are missing out on a great series. It’s New Adult Dystopian with zombies…if you are a zombie fan like I am (watch all zombie flicks and watch The Walking Dead) then you need to read the first book and this book.

I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to readers out there that need a zombie fix, and want to try out a new type of New Adult novel.

I received a complimentary copy of the book for the blog tour from InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review.

My very first book I’ve ever read from Anne Bishop and definitely not my last.  I have been meaning to readWritten in Red since I noticed some of my Goodreads buddies raving about this series.  I decided I needed to read a book that wasn’t a review request, so I went to my local library and borrowed it.  Let’s just say I am now impatiently waiting for the second book from my library because I had a hard time putting down Written in Red.  It took me a while to read it due to life getting in the way, and other books I needed to read but I finished it and now I WANT more.

I wasn’t an avid romance reader back in high school (not until my adult years), so Dark/Urban Fantasy stories became an obsession at a young age.  (My mom used to say I would have nightmares over these books, but instead I found them comforting)  Thanks to Written in Red I’m wanting to read this genre more again.  I love when authors can create fantasy worlds that have never been done before.  First, imagine when we first inhabited North America and instead of Native Americans being there, there were the Others.  These Others are shape shifters, vampires, elementals, etc., which they have power over the humans.  They are not your dreamy shape shifters or vampires…but your scary ones that will make you have nightmares and will eat you without a reason. (Well…technically if you are seen as a threat…then you are food) Anne Bishop has created a Dark Fantasy world that will have any human not wanting to be apart of.  In the case of this Book Lovin’ Mama though, I dived into the story without hesitation and had a hard time getting back to reality.  I was entranced in the world of the Others, and the main character who has all the Others running with their heads cut off…Meg.  Meg ended up in the world of the Others from running away from the world she’s only known.  She’s one of the special humans that the Others know little of, but they are intrigued with her and want to protect her from the bad guys that want her back.  Simon Wolfgard is the one that allows her access to the Courtyard, where the Others live.  He’s hesitant at first, but he knows deep down something is different about her.  She doesn’t smell like prey, which confuses him and the Others.

I could go on and on about the story, but I definitely don’t want to give anything away.  This is a story that has a lot going on, but it’s easy to follow.  Anne Bishop writes in third person, which enables the reader to follow along with not only Meg, Simon, but several others characters that take the reigns in the story.  I loved getting to know the Others, the human police, and the bad guys that were after Meg.  There is also another character who is bad, but I definitely don’t want to give that person away.  Let’s just say I didn’t like this person and I definitely went with Simon’s instincts on this character.  I loved how the person ended up in the end.

I loved everything about this story and how Anne Bishop built this dark world about the Others.  They are a fascinating bunch and I can’t wait to read the next book to be apart of their world again.  Meg is such a sweet girl and I was glad to get to know her in this story.  She played a very important role in this book and grew so much being with the Others.  I loved how Anne made me feel for every single one of them.  The only character I’m kind of scared of, but also fascinated with is Tess.  Holy crap…she’s scary.  I want to learn more about her though.  If all the Others are scared of her, I’ll be scared of her too.

I give this book 5 full moons and highly recommend it to readers that love the Dark/Urban Fantasy genre.  Here’s hoping my hold on the next book at the library doesn’t take too long. Anne Bishop has definitely sucked me into this world she created, and I can’t wait to dive back in again with the second book.

Reread for the release of Gods & Monsters (!!!!)

Obviously nothing will compare to the love I felt the first time I read this, but... I forgot how badass Karou is. Just love her. 

Gahhh. You know that anger and anxiety you get when you finish a really good book? Yeah. I has it.

Like... Does it HAVE to be over? Does it? I could read about these characters all. Day. Long.

They're just so insanely realistic. I feel like I'm reading about guys I grew up with and arguments I had with my own brothers. The dialogue is so damn natural, the writing just flows and is perfect and I felt like I was right THERE living it every time I picked up this book. There are no clunky descriptions or cheesy dialogue. Teenagers react exactly like normal teenagers tend to react and have conversations that real teenagers would have. It's amazeballs.

The attachment I have to each and every character can't even really be put into words. But somehow I feel like one of the family every time I pick up a book from this series. The love and appreciation I have for the world and people Kemmerer has created here runs deep. There are less than a handful of authors who I will say that I will, without a doubt, read anything they publish. Brigid Kemmerer is one of them. It's authors like her that remind me that YA has some really, really good stuff to offer.

I often find it really difficult to write a proper review for books that blew me away like Secret did. I'm just so damn full of feel right now and trying really hard to keep it together, but I just have to say that the Merricks have to be one of my favourite fictional families of ever. They're right up there with the Cohens, anyway. (OC forever, baby.) But, man. Kemmerer write, and keep writing, because the world needs more books like yours.
