This book was an.... interesting one. I liked the idea that the forest had an actual person that represented it. I liked how Avery would get a streak of red when the forest was grieving for it's losses. I liked the guy character (sorry... read it a while ago... this is what happens when i procrastinate on writing this). I didn't really think that he was the one who killed the parents, but then who else would i be? (secretly i thought there was a vampire in this.... since Avery remembered silver <-- possible flash of vampire teeth right??)
One thing that i did find a little weird was that everytime moon was typed? writen? anyways, whenever the author used the word moon, it was in red. I have no idea what that has to do with the story... I don't even know what the title has to do with it. It didn't really mention anything with a low red moon. It was pretty weird. Like i'm reading and all of the sudden there was a red word on the page. It wasn't something i could ignore.
One thing that i was really not expecting at all was the the SHERIFF was the one who killed the parents.... Yea! I knew there was a reason not to trust police! or the police force! (because they might have secretly killed your parents and your neighbors just so that he would be able to expand your small town) Not trust worthy at all. The sheriff, ron, was a lunatic! I actually trusted him throughout the beginning and middle of the book! I couldn't believe that someone would do that... strange!
oh well... gonna end it now... At least i give a warning right?? That's gotta count for something :)

Newness!
New posts coming up soon.... i hope. I have finished 2 books already, that don't have reviews yet (probably because i'm too lazy to write anything but this).... But anyway, i still have to do the other two in the Daughters Of the Moon book. Plus i'm reading Julius Ceasar (did i spell that right?) by William Shakespeare.... Yea, maybe there will be a review, if i like it enough or if i hate it enough. (keep in mind i did not write one of The Odyssey <-- if i spelt that right too)
yea, so new posts if i'm feeling up to it. I haven't posted in ninja inc either... or ninja star... or ninja roll... wow, i've let things get behind!

Dark Song by Gail Giles
When i picked up this book, i was expecting something completly different. I expected it to be a superatural romance book. This book disappointed me. Frankly i did not like it in any sense. It is not a book that i would recommend or read again.
Here are the reasons why:
1. I didn't like the characters... AT ALL!!!! The story is kind of really cold hearted. The father, an alcoholic who lost everything, seemed sort of over the extreame. I mean he broke the law, but that wasn't all. He decideds to lay around all say while his wife and daughters had to give up so much. He was supposed to be finding a job, but instead he decided to gamble away the money that the wife made when she sold, basically everything.
I didn't like the wife either. She was also cold hearted. Why would she speak to her daughter like that? Granted, the daughter, Ames, had an attitude, but that was easily explained because she's been the rich spoiled princess her whole life, until that one particular moment when she had to give up everything. I guess the wife's behavior would have been explained because of the stress that her stupid husband's actions.
Onward with the people i didn't like at all. I didn't like the main character, Ames. She gave herself up way too easily to Marc. I didn't get the fact that every time she disobeyed or felt power, the "dark song" sang out to her. There was no dark song! I don't recall a description of what it sounded like. I just don't get the dark song.
I didn't like Marc. I hated his character the most. Killing Ames's parents so they could run away??? What kind of crap is that?! They could have just ran away, if he really loved her... frankly i refuse to believe that he loved her in any sense. Why would you hurt someone, force them into sex, and try to kill their parents if you really loved them??? Huh? I believe that he was USING HER! For the excitment that he got whenever he was with her. He wasn't trying to protect her. He didn't have her best interests in mind. Oh, and also... WHAT KIND OF PERSON rapes a girl and then treatens the parents (so they would not take him to court) by dognapping their dog and putting 15 freaking bullet holes through the dog??? If those people just STEPPED UP! and not wimp out by dropping the charges, who knows how many people/girls would have been saved from his treacherous grasps!!!
Enough about people that i hated. I actually thought some of the characters were ok, but not good enough to be called good. I thought that Chrissy and Em were pretty ok people. Chrissy was pretty innocent. Em showed readers that the influence of a person you love can make a person change.
2. I didn't like the story line. I felt everything was very rushed. It felt like there wasn't much detail and the book was only covering the surface of it all. I think the author could have gone into more details about everything. The events just passed by each other. There was no time to actually let things sink in. I didn't realize that Marc ment to kill Ames' parents until Ames actually said so herself.
3. The cover didn't fit the book. I usually pick books by their covers and summaries. I know that's bad, but most times the book sort of matches the book cover.... (not saying this applies to every book, but normally it does.... at least to the first book in the series) I expected great things from this book! It was just huge dissappointment!
4. The ending was a disater! I'm glad that the police came up with a plan to catch Marc before he could kill the parents. BUT the last lines of the book. It was just so weird and i didn't think it fit the book at all. I just expected more out of it, so it was so disappointing to me/
Yea... just gonna end it there... don't.... want.... to..... type..... any.... more......

Revamped by Lucienne Diver
First off, i would like to say that i went into this book not remember anything that happened in the first book, so i started off kind of confused. THat could have just messed up my book review, or make it more creditable...
I don't think i can realy consider these things that i write book reviews. More of a summaryish thing, maybe. Call it what you want, i'll just call it a not really a book review sort of thing.
Onward with the reviewing. I like this book. I like her writing style. She can really get into the mind of a really preppy teenage girl, although it is sort of eggagerated. I felt like i turned into the character, although i was sort of rolling my eyes at some of the things she said.
I was also sort of surprised at the Rasputin reference. That just brought up a bunch of random memories. I thought that the author didn't describe Alistar or Rasputin very much. I couldn't get a clear picture of what they looked like in my mind. Most of the people, i couldn't really grasp a physical person in my mind, ok that did not make sense. I couldn't picture the characters in my mind.
Cutting it short: i like this book, i might continue the series, if there are other ones. I picked this book up becuase i read the first one, but it was kind of pointless since i don't even remember. Call this statement discrediting myself or what not, but i call it the truth.
