Blog Tour: Dark Return by Taryn Browning - Review


Dark Return
(Seeker, #2)
by Taryn Browning
Add to Goodreads

Janie Grey is dedicated to hunting the undead, an inherited duty passed down from her Cherokee ancestors and generations of powerful Seekers before her. Then, there's Kai. He's like no one she's ever met - cocky, fast, skillful, infuriating and gorgeous. Not only has he become a valuable asset in her fight against the growing population of the vampire/demon hybrid known as Daychildren...
She's unwittingly fallen for him.
Just when Janie thinks she's learned everything there is to know about Kai's mysterious past, there's a newcomer to Baltimore. Someone who will do anything to make sure Janie loses Kai forever. 
I thought this was a pretty good sequel in the Seeker series by Taryn Browning. If you are looking for a fast paced, action packed series, then I would definitely recommend this to you!  Dark Return captured my attention from start to finish. I am so happy to be apart of the blog tour because I loved book 1.

Wishlist Wednesday (17): Light by Michael Grant

Light
(Gone, #6)
by Michael Grant
Releases |April 2nd 2013 by Katherine Tegen Books|
Add to Goodreads

It’s been more than a year since every person over the age of fourteen disappeared from the town of Perdido Beach, California. In that time, countless battles have been fought: Battles against hunger and lies and plagues and worse, battles of good against evil, and kid against kid. Allegiances have been won, lost, betrayed, and won again; ideologies have been shattered and created anew, and the kids of the FAYZ have begun to believe that their new society is the only life they’ll ever know. But now that the Darkness has found a way to be reborn, the tenuous existence they‘ve established is likely to be shattered for good. Will the kids of Perdido Beach even survive?
Light, the sixth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series (which has spanned more than 3,000 pages!) asks as many profound and provocative questions as it answers, while bestselling mastermind and author Michael Grant creates an unforgettable, arresting conclusion that readers won’t able to stop talking about.
Why I'm Wishing...
I am DYING to get my hands on a copy of this book! I LOVE this series to pieces. I just love it. I can't wait to see how Michael Grant concludes this series. Each book in this series has been amazing and I want to know if all my questions will be answered and what will happen to the characters and all that good stuff. I want this so so bad :) This is one of my top favorite series!

There's nowhere left to hide.
I thought vampires were our enemies - they controlled our lives, isolated our cities, and demanded our blood - until I met Victor. With Victor taking over as the new Lord Valentine, things were supposed to get better. Instead, they're worse than ever.
Day Walkers, a new breed of vampires who can walk in the sun, are terrorizing the city. Blood supplies are low, and if Victor's vampires don't get enough, they will become infected with the Thirst - a disease that will turn them into mindless killers.
To stop it, I must journey across the desolate wasteland to the very place where the sickness began. I can only hope that the answers that await me are enough to save us all... before it's too late.

I've been struggling on whether or not to rate this 3 stars or 4 stars, but I think I'm going to settle in at 3.5 stars. I don't know what it was about this installment, but it took me a while to get into. I think it had something to do with my not being in a reading mood, more so than it was the actual book. But overall I did enjoy the book and thought it had some great moments :) I receive a finished copy for review from the author/publicist. All thoughts are my honest opinion!
