The Historian

The Historian review by Kia Gary
For you my friend Please feel free to share it with others. I hope you are well and happy;-)

Like all respectable vampire tales, this one spans centuries. However, that is where the similarity ends because I have never read a vampire tale quite like this. The protagonists span three generations. I can see someone turning this book into an epic movie or mini series. Each generation has one or more of its own historians. All are looking for the real Dracula (Prince Vlad Tepes) for both professional and personal reasons. The search for the truth will take them to several different countries and to journeys of self discovery that none anticipated.

Readers I must warn you that if you are hoping for a romance novel, this is not it. There are several love stories woven within and through the primary story, but as compelling as they may sometimes be (I wept at page 526), they take a back seat to the search for the “Dark Prince”.

This is an adventure but not in the usual sense as there is really not much action (until near the end). Remember, these are historians so you can imagine their method of searching. I did not find this novel “Genuinely terrifying” as quoted from the Boston Globe but I agree it is “A thrill ride through history” as stated by the Denver Post. If you love history, traveling, and emersion into other cultures, you will love this book. It will feel as if you have been on an exotic vacation.

Warning, I found the first half of the book difficult to read. Elizabeth Kostova is a stickler for details (possibly in the excess) and I found it hard to form attachments to the characters. The initial moving back and forth through different events within several generations was a bit confusing, but if you can hang in there, by the second half of the book you should have a strong bond to one or more of the protagonists and you will be thankful for the details that brought you to that realization.

This is a book that should make you think, “It could happen”. I can even see readers who tend to enjoy non-fiction more than fiction finding merit and a great deal of fun in following our heroes through situations that are exotic and yet, believable.

What do our heroes find? I am not one to be accused of creating spoilers. My personal joy is in sharing a book with someone and then watching them discover the prize for themselves. I will tell you that what they find is quite fascinating so enjoy. Oh, and with all the historians in this story, I put this question to you. Who is THE Historian?

The "Supernatural" Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls by Alex Irvine

2008-10-12T07:09:00.000-07:00

Editorial Reviews

Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. Following the tragedy, their father, John, set out to teach his boys everything about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America . . . and how to kill it.
Fans of the blockbuster television phenomenon can rejoice! A one-of-a-kind compilation of all of Sam and Dean's demon-busting knowledge, The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls contains illustrations and detailed descriptions that catalogue the more than two dozen otherworldly enemies that most people believe exist only in folklore, superstition, and nightmares:vampires, ghosts, revenants, reapers, and even bloody clowns. You'll find within these pages Sam and Dean's notes, observations, and memories interwoven with sections of John Winchester's invaluable journal, making this book the perfect companion to every thrilling episode—and an essential weapon in the secret war against the hidden creatures of the darkness!

My review

Frist I would love if you meet the characters Dean and Sam Winchester; two brothers & two hunters.

Sam and Dean faced a lot of Supernatural things, with a good fight and smart minds they killed the most of them. and if you really a Supernatural lover and a seeker for the knowladge of

"The Supernatural things" like Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls; this book is for you.

My rating is 9 out of 10

Interview with Owen Palmiotti

2008-10-07T04:15:00.000-07:00

My frist inerview ever.

An interview with the Owen Palmiotti the author of

Benjamin Manry and the Curse of Blood Bones

My questions now are about the cover.How you choose the book cover? Who design it for you? Do you have any story about the cover?

I designed the cover with the four aspects of the curse incorporated into it: the magic staff, the crimson journal, the scarlet stone, and the medallion. I then had it professionally designed based on my little drawings and ideas.

How much it does this book mean to you that it go published? And Get to share you fantasies with the world?

This book is a collection of my dreams, goals, and fantasies, and I am so pleased with how it came out. It was such an honor when I wrote THE END, let alone, getting it published.

Inspration:What inspired you to write? Do you have a person that inspires you?When you write; what is your ispration? And How you keep it going?Does your writing connect with your life in some espect?Who/What encourage you to get your book published?What is your typical daily routien as a writer?

I've always been a writer, ever since I was a child. My father and mother wouldn't let me out to play until I read or wrote something during the summers, so after a few years of the Literary Boot Camp, I began to harness my writing skills.

I write when I can, because if I don't sit down and write, my words will never take form on paper. If I have a few minutes here and there throughout a day I will sit down and take notes or scribble some ideas down. After that, I usually sit down and just type up everything for the last week or so of random scribbles and notes.

Writing and your life:How the fact of being an author changed your point of view and your look to the whole world?What were your friends/family members reaction when they knew that you are going to be a published author?How old you were when you started writing? When did you discovered that you want to be an author?Tell us more about your writing background.What advices do you have for asprining writers?

Changing from writer to author, now that the first book is published, opened my eyes to how many books are actually out in print, and that means I need to work harder to get more notice and publicity for my writing. I've done research in nearly every aspect and angle of the industry and there is still much to learn.

My advice is to just be creative, let loose, let it all out: emotions, thoughts, dreams, nightmares, etc. and then put it to paper. Look it over a few times and talk to friends. Revise. Then resume a cycle of that over and over again, until it works for you.

The Book:Can you use words to describe the Book?Can you use words to describe you main character?How did you come up with the names?Why pirates and time traveling?Can you tell us a summery of the book?Are you currently working on any future project?The end...

Short and simple description of my book- it's the story of a young lad who finds a place in the world, grows and matures into a solid character amidst pirates, time travel, and losing a timeless love.
There are numerous side stories and subplots, but basically a cursed treasure sends Ben, his brother, and their friend Sal to 1763 and they live there for nearly a year. The curse of Blood Bones is a four evolution curse that spans through the trilogy, sending the adventurers between the 18th century and modern day multiple times.

I am working on the second and third books in the series now, with an open window for a fourth and fifth book as there are several hints and open ends that I plant throughout the trilogy.

I dreamt of names, looked through lists of names, combined names, added letters here and there, etc etc. Naming a character is tough, because it has to match their personality. Benjamin Manry is a strong name and a strong character, mainly because he is based off of me!

I read a lot of historical fiction, nautical themed, and stories revolving around time. My love for this trifecta of ideas can be seen in my other ideas for books.

About this Book

RUNE MAGIC, TIME travel, transformation: Sky’s grandfather opened up a world of limitless possibility . . . then asked the impossible. He asked Sky to kill a man.
Sky and Kristin know they have to stop Sigurd. But how, when he can possess any person, any beast, at will? Once more, the answer is to be found back along the bloodlines. The secret of possession lies in Meg, an accused witch, and in Matthew, the Witchfinder determined to capture her. But the price for knowing what Sigurd knows is steep—to defeat their grandfather, will they have to become exactly like him?
In this thrilling conclusion to the Runestone Saga, the final choice between everlasting life and the necessity of death will be made at one of the great turning points in history—a battle, quite literally, for all time. And the outcome rests precariously on one final cast of the runes. . . .

About this Book

Book I of the Runestone Saga ends with a terrifying
reversal. The grandfather who showed Sky how to use the
power of the runes to travel back in time, revealed his
secret plans—which turn out to involve murder and
possession. Sky must now find a way to fight his
powerful teacher—for his cousin's very soul.

And so he travels to Corsica, home of his other
forbearers, hoping to find some knowledge, some power.
The blood feud of vendetta still runs hot in Sky's
family, as does the supernatural power of the
MazzeriÑthe Corsican dream hunters of death. Sky must
again travel back through time, inhabiting the life of
Tza, a fierce girl from the 1500s. As he sinks into
Tza's mind, Sky wondersÑare all of his ancestors
murderers?

Vendetta is a heady, exciting blend of
supernatural possibility and historical truth that will
leave readers gasping for the final installment of the
trilogy.

Have
you checked out the latest books in store this
month? If you have then you know that Cycler
is one of them! Cycler was recently reviewed
on BoingBoing.net and described as a "smart YA novel
about sex and sexuality".

Jill is pretty much your average
teenage girl... oh, except that she transforms from
a girl to a boy 4 days a month. Have you ever
thought about what it would be like to be the
opposite sex? This book raises many issues of what
it would be like to not only go through the physical
transformations but what goes on mentally for both
Jill and Jack.

review of Cycler on BoingBoing.net. Here is a
snippet of the review:

"McLaughlin's screenwriting
background carries through well, too: the plot is
faultless, building from the weird premise (and the
concomitant weirdness) to a series of
ever-more-desperate scenarios that have you rooting
for Jack and Jill even as you facepalm yourself and
peer between your fingers at the wreck they're
making of their lives." -

My review;

I am going to give the book 6 out of 10
*just commenting from the book cover and the
summary but I will give it more marks when I read
it. This book really answered one of the questions that
pops into my head from once and a while "What if I
was a boy for a whole day? * but for the girl in the
story she was a boy for more than that.

AS FAR AS anyone at her high school knows, Jill McTeague is an average smart girl trying to get her dream date to ask her to the prom.What no one knows, except for Jill’s mom and dad, is that for the four days Jill is out of school each month, she is not Jill at all. She is Jack, a genuine boy—complete with all the parts. Jack lives his four days per month in the solitude of Jill’s room. But his personality has been building since the cycling began. He is less and less content with his confinement and his cycles are becoming more frequent. Now Jill’s question about the prom isn’t who she'll go with, but who she'll be when the big night arrives.

Falcondance: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Three

Wolfcry: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Four

Wyverhail: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Five

Hawksong: The Kiesha'ra: Volume One

Danica Shardae is an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk’s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, Danica will do anything in her power to stop the bloodshed–even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one. Now Danica must convince her people that Zane is just as committed to peace as she is–though she can’t help fearing that, despite his word, he will strike as swiftly and lethally as the cobra that is his second form. Among the serpiente, she’ll have to pretend to be in love, though when they’re alone, her reserve threatens to keep her and Zane worlds apart. And in their midst are dissenters who will do whatever it takes to destroy this union. Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica–and all they ask of their people–but it may be more than she can give.

Snakecharm: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Two

Zane Cobriana, Cobra shapeshifter, thanks the gods every day for Danica, his hawk pair bond, and the peace their union has brought to the avian and serpiente. Soon, Danica will have a child to carry on their royal line. But what should be a happy time is riddled with doubt.

Syfka, an ancient falcon, has arrived from Ahnmik claiming that one of her people is hidden in their midst. The falcons are more powerful than the avians and serpiente combined, and Syfka shows nothing but contempt for Zane and Danica’s alliance. To Zane’s horror, his own people seem just as appalled as Syfka is by the thought of a mixed-blood child becoming heir to the throne. Is Syfka’s lost falcon just a ruse to stir up controversy among them? The truth lies somewhere in their tangled pasts—and the search will redefine Zane and Danica’s fragile future.

Falcondance: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Three

Nicias has never felt completely at home among the avians and serpiente in Wyvern’s Court, despite his loyalty to Oliza Shardae Cobriana, the heir to both thrones. He is a falcon, the son of two exiles from Anhmik–and images of this distant island have always haunted his dreams. But when Nicias’s visions become more like reality, his parents have no choice but to send him back to the homeland–and a royal falcon–they’ve tried their best to forget.

If Araceli won’t bind Nicias’s newfound magic, it could destroy him. In a place where everyone is a pawn, only one other woman has the potential to save Nicias. But she holds the keys to a dangerous power struggle that will force Nicias to choose between his duty–and his destiny.

Wolfcry: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Four

Oliza Shardae Cobriana is heir to Wyvern's Court, home of the avians and serpiente, whose war with each other ended just before Oliza was born. But hatred is slow to die, and not everyone likes the expressive way in which Urban, a serpiente dancer, is courting Oliza--especially not Marus, her reserved avian suitor. And when Urban is found beaten in avian land, Oliza is filled with despair. How can she be expected to lead a unified society if her people still cannot live peacefully together?

Before Oliza can try to mend the rift in Wyvern's Court, she is kidnapped by mercenaries, who take her deep into wolves' territory. As Wyvern princess, all Oliza has ever wanted is to see a future where she can find love and take a mate without inciting another war. The time is now. She owes it to her people--and to herself.

Wyverhail: The Kiesha'ra: Volume Five

HAI HAS ALWAYS been an outsider. With a falcon mother and a deceased cobra father, she is considered a mongrel by most, an ally by some, and a friend by few. Hai's broken falcon wings are a painful reminder of the life she once led on the island of Ahnmik. And here in Wyvern's Court, the avian and serpiente royal family keep their distance, refusing to acknowledge her cobra bloodline. They know that Hai's magic is so volatile, she can barely control it, and images of the past and future threaten to overwhelm her.

When Hai's cousin, Oliza Shardae Cobriana, abdicates the throne of Wyvern's Court, Hai has visions only of destruction: the serpiente king Salem, dying in her arms; the dutiful guard, Nicias, unable to save a generation of children; and Wyvern's Court engulfed in flames.

Now Hai will do anything to protect her new home - even if it means betraying the very people who need her most.

Midnight Predator

In the Forests of the Night

I was born to the name of Rachel Weatere in the year 1684, more than three hundred years ago.

The one who changed me named me Risika, and Risika I became, though I never asked what it meant. I continue to call myself Risika, even though I was transformed into what I am against my will.

By day, Risika sleeps in a shaded room in Concord, Massachusetts. By night, she hunts the streets of New York City. She is used to being alone.

But now someone is following Risika. Someone has left her a black rose, the same sort of rose that sealed her fate three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago Risika had a family — a brother and a sister who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human.

Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her.

Demon in My View

Jessica isn't your average teenager. Though nobody at her high school knows it, she's a published author. Her vampire novel Tiger, Tiger has just come out under the pen name Ash Night. Jessica often wishes she felt as comfortable with her classmates as she does among the vampires and witches of her fiction. She has always been treated as an outsider at Ramsa High.

But two new students have just arrived in Ramsa, and both want Jessica's attention. She has no patience with overly friendly Caryn, but she's instantly drawn to handsome Alex, a cocky, mysterious boy who seems surprisingly familiar. If she didn't know better, she'd think Aubrey, the alluring villain from Tiger, Tiger had just sprung to life. That's impossible, of course; Aubrey is a figment of her imagination. Or is he?

Shattered Mirror

Sarah Vida is a witch and a vampire hunter — and a loner. Christopher Ravena is a vampire trying to pass as a normal high school student who wants to know Sarah better. Drawn to him despite her better judgment, Sarah’s forced to admit that there’s room for gray in her otherwise black-and-white world of good versus evil — until she meets Nikolas, Christopher’s twin and one of the most hunted vampires in history.

Midnight Predator

Though she was once a happy teenager with a wonderful family and a full life, Turquoise Draka is now a hunter, committed to no higher purpose than making money and staying alive. In a deadly world of vampires, shapeshifters, and powerful mercenaries, she’ll track any prey if the price is right. Her current assignment: to assassinate Jeshickah, one of the cruelest vampires in history. Her employer: an unknown contact who wants the job done fast. Her major obstacle: she’ll have to mask her strength and enter Midnight, a fabled vampire realm, as a human slave. Vulnerable and defenseless, she faces her greatest challenge ever.

About this Book
SAMMI, TQ, CARYN, Letty, and Katsuko are floaters. None of them fits in with any particular group at Covington High School—except each other. One night, to cement their bond, the girls decide to get matching, unique tattoos. But when Sammi backs out at the last minute, everything changes. Faster than you can say “airbrush,” Sammi is an outcast, and soon, her friends are behaving like total strangers. When they attack Sammi for trying to break up a brawl, Sammi spies something horrible on her friends’ backs: the original tattoo has grown tendrils, snaking and curling over the girls’ entire bodies. What has that creepy tattoo artist done to her friends? And what—if anything—can Sammi do to get them back? This deliciously creepy psychological thriller is the perfect summer read.

About this Book

He holds the secret that can end the world.

The truth: Nicholas Flamel was born in Paris on September 28, 1330. Nearly 700 years later, he is acknowledged as the greatest Alchemyst of his day. It is said that he discovered the secret of eternal life.

The records show that he died in 1418.

But his tomb is empty.

The legend: Nicholas Flamel lives. But only because he has been making the elixir of life for centuries. The secret of eternal life is hidden within the book he protects—the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed. In the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. That's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. Humankind won't know what's happening until it's too late. And if the prophecy is right, Sophie and Josh Newman are the only ones with the power to save the world as we know it.

Sometimes legends are true.

And Sophie and Josh Newman are about to find themselves in the middle of the greatest legend of all time.
