Think Twilight meets Dracula, meets the strange mysticism of Dekker's Books of History Chronicles, all taking place during the time of Katherine the Great.<br /><br />The only other paranormal book I would recommend is Nightmare by Robin Parrish, which is more a paranormal thriller (and it's more about ghosts than vamps, etc.). It was so scary I was afraid it would give me Nightmares XD.bendavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365700670510435912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983981968540501945.post-66565098919534098232012-07-31T17:04:19.324-07:002012-07-31T17:04:19.324-07:00No emotion guy = 50X better than overly emotional ...No emotion guy = 50X better than overly emotional girl.<br /><br />I don't mind books without romance either, since romance doesn't really make the book for me. The idea behind the Six of Hearts series looks interesting, so I think I'll enjoy the book better than any of the paranormal-romance stuff. :)<br /><br />(When I read Evermore (paranormal-romance), I wanted someone to just load the gun and pull the trigger...no one did and therefore, I finished the book.

I'm getting tired of girl protagonists with their petty, little love triangles and stalker boyfriends. I find that a lot more of the books without romance focus more on plot development and character growth, which makes the read much more enjoyable overall. It's refreshing that there are people on here that are recommending these types of books. <br /><br />*a couple minutes later* I just looked up the Six of Hearts series on goodreads. The whole 'cards' concept seems interesting. *puts on hold* I'll read it when it comes in. Thanks again! :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351540347102277290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983981968540501945.post-33750771104622081802012-07-31T15:45:57.374-07:002012-07-31T15:45:57.374-07:00Yeah, my username there is RandomBookGirl. :D
Actu...Yeah, my username there is RandomBookGirl. :D<br />Actually, I think my rating decreased. XD<br />I read the books a couple of years ago, so I decided to re-read them recently (after seeing your review, I was like, "Hey, I own the first book, why don't I go read it again!"). Anyways, I liked the books when I was younger, but maybe my tastes have changed a bit? I still enjoyed the book, but certainly not as much as I did. :)<br />Oh, and yeah, I try to write reviews right after I read them. Since I can remember everything, it's a lot more...fair in a way. :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351540347102277290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983981968540501945.post-52794754316735366062012-07-31T10:34:54.459-07:002012-07-31T10:34:54.459-07:00If you like the whole brain-transplant concept, an...If you like the whole brain-transplant concept, and/or dystopian, and would rather have an action-packed, romance-free read than this, read Remote Control by Jack Heath. Better yet, read his entire Six of Hearts series (The Lab is book 1, Remote Control is book 2)!bendavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365700670510435912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1983981968540501945.post-25289767490725348892012-07-31T09:22:26.409-07:002012-07-31T09:22:26.409-07:00This is so true!

I recognized your display pic ;) Soo did your rating increase after re-reading?? Mine did. I always like books a lot better when they are fresh in my mind. My rating is bound to decrease at least 3 stars if I've had a couple of months to think about it.Ashinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517050968487227343noreply@blogger.com
