Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick

 

This the fourth book in the Hush, Hush series and the last one. I will say that this was a great read. 

Patch and Nora are still together and if you don't remember what happened in the third book. Nora and Patch had killed her father Hank. Nora is now a Nephilim and surposed to be the head one because she took her fathers spot. 

Dante is Hank's second and he's wanting to help Nora with dealing with the other Nephilim. He tells her that he's going to help train her so she can get stronger in case there is a war between them and the fallen angels. Which is what Patch is.

What Nora doesn't know is that there might be something that could cause her a problem. Dante and a buddy of his, have been crafty something called Devilcraft. It makes you feel stronger and give you a slight blue tone. Something that Nora learns the hard way about. The more you take of it the more you want it and after she gets stabbed one night she starts to have problems. Its really missed up.

Patch tries to help her and gets her something to reverse the devilcraft. She protends to drink it but, doesn't. 

Down the road she finds out that Dante has plans on trying to take her spot as leader. She doesn't know all of what he's wanting to do but, her and Patch have plans. They will do the one thing to keep all her kind safe. 

If you want to know how the story ends. Pick up the book but, remember to read the other three first. 

Well, off to start my next book. Remember to pick up a book, you never know what will be a new favorite. 

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

 

This is a new take on the history of Dracula. Told by the young teenage girl who lives with her father. Her father, Paul, travels all over the world for his foundation. One day while she's at home she's in her fathers den and sitting on the desk is some papers and a book. She opens the book and the only thing inside it it a picture of a dragon. She is curious but, isn't sure she should ask her father about it.

Her father Paul, has been raising the young girl on his own since his wife Helen had left or disappeared. Its up to him to raise her and protect her from the bad things in the world. What he doesn't realize is that she will be the one to help him find the one thing he wants, his wife, Helen. 

His daughter starts asking him questions. she wants to know what the book and papers mean. So, he does what he knows best and starts to tell her stories that are true. Dracula is one charater that has been written about a few times. But, he doesn't explain that to her. He starts with his time when he was young and still studying at the university. 

He begins by telling her about his Professor Rossi. How smart he was and how he told him about the meaning about the book he has. He also told her that he disappeared right after doing that. He explained that he had stopped looking into the meaning of Dracula for a long time, but that wasn't true. He wanted to find Helen and knew that there was only go to be one way to do that. It was for him to continue looking for Dracula and in doing so, he might get lucky and find his wife, Helen. 

The story pretty much tells you in letters that her father had left for her to read. What her father doesn't know is that she decides to try and find him. Is she smart enough to figure the whole thing out and find out where her father is or will the danger of doing so cause her harm or death. Maybe, her father can't be found. You'll just have to read the book to find out. 

Its an almost 700 page book and it can get a little slow at times. I think its worth reading.

Sorry, it took me so long to get this post up. I had been sick so, its hard for me to read. 

Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a good book, you never know what just be a new favorite.
