Friday Recommends #7




Photobucket

Friday Recommends is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper. This a weekly book blog hop where we as bloggers choose a book that we have read and recommend it to our fellow bloggers. We can then visit each others blogs to see what other bloggers recommend and find new books to add to our TBR list. Hopfully we all will have new followers from visiting each blog on the linky list.







The rules for Friday Recommends are:


  • Follow Pen to Paper as host of the meme.
  • Please consider adding the blog hop button to your blog somewhere, so others can find it easily and join in too! Help spread the word! The code will be at the bottom of the post under the linky.
  • Pick a book that you've read, and have enjoyed enough to recommend to other readers. It can be a book you've read recently, or a book you read years ago - it's up to you - but make sure you tell us why you love the book (like a mini review). You make the post as long or as short as you like.
  • Add your blog to the linky at the bottom of post on host site Pen to Paper after posting your blog post.
  • Put a link back to pen to paper (http://vogue-pentopaper.blogspot.com) somewhere in your post.
  • Visit the other blogs and enjoy!





My Recommed for this week:





Darkness Falls (Darkness Falls #1) by Jessica Sorensen

Paperback, 1st Edition

Published March 16th 2012 by Jessica Sorensen (first published March 14th 2012)






Goodreads synopsis:



When the disease spread through the world, people had no choice but to go into hiding. The Colony is hidden deep underground, far away from the vampires—humans that were transformed by the disease. The vampires are hideous, starving, and they will kill any human they come across.

Seventeen-year-old Kayla is a Bellator, a warrior that protects The Colony. In order to survive, there are three rules she must follow:


    Rule #1—Never go out after dark.
    Rule #2—Always carry a weapon.
    Rule #3—No matter what, never EVER get bit.


But what happens when the rules Kayla has always lived by can no longer apply?

The Highers run The Colony and accept nothing less than perfection. One slip up can mean death. Kayla has always worked hard to follow the rules and strive for perfection. But during a moment of weakness, she lets her imperfections show. Her punishment is worse than death. She is chosen for The Gathering and is thrown out into a world full of starving vampires.

No one has ever survived The Gathering, at least that’s what Kayla’s been told. But when she runs into a group who insist they were once part of The Gathering, Kayla discovers the Highers have been keeping secrets. Secrets that could lead to a cure.







My Thoughts




Can she save the world? Will she be the best warrior? Will she lose all of the skills that Monarch gave her? I don't know I can't wait for book #2. I hope that all that was not revealed in book #1 will be revealed in book #2. I hope in book #2 that we will find out more about Kayla who she was, what caused the disease and why were they transformed into vampires?
