Kundalis: Storm Dragon by Frances Pauli
Karin knows she’s gone completely insane—nuts—absolutely batshit crazy, when she spots an insidious blue dragon twining through the trees at a rest stop in the Cascade Mountains. Despite agreeing to join her roommate at a psychic fair, she’s never believed in anything metaphysical.
She’s pretty sure the Reiki treatment she succumbed to has brought on a frighteningly realistic hallucination—until they roll their mini-van in the middle of I-90, and she is rescued from the vehicle by the same monstrous blue figment of her imagination.
She awakens to find that she’s been delivered to a cabin high in the mountains instead of to a proper hospital. The “doctor” looking out for her is more of a new-ager than a physician, and the people who own the house, including the urban highlander version of Fabio, don’t have any intention of letting her leave.
Faced with the unimaginable, and strapped to an all-too-real dragon, Karin must decide how to tame the beast or risk losing herself to it forever.

Recomandari: Fighting Destiny (The Fae Chronicles #1) by Amelia Hutchins
Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae - beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?
Welcome to my world.
What started out as a strange assignment, lead to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.
Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae...every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.
My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

Snow White and the Huntsman - o mica parere despre film
Albă ca Zăpada şi Războinicul Vânător
![]() |
Abia am vazut filmul si pot spune ca mi-a placut mult cam toate efectele speciale (troll, padurea intunecata, lumea magica), rolul de vrajitoare, ceea ce eu cred ca Charlize il joaca foarte bine, vrajitoare de care chiar ti se face frica si Kristen care a fost minunata. Ce pot spune cei care au adorat povestea in mod sigur o sa le placa si filmul, desi acesta are ceva mai multa actiune, suspans si drama, chiar te tine cu sufletul la gura. Schimbarile aduse in film au meritat, fiinca au imbunatatit filmul si povestea au facut-o mai complexa si mai interesanta, ce pot spune a fost un film foarte interesant, care merita vazut. Nota mea e 8.Thursday, June 7, 2012
EU SUNT NUMARUL 4: Carte vs Film
Cu o mare intarziere am vazut si eu filmul abia acum si pot spune ca m-a dezamagit foarte mult, ma asteptam la altceva. Filmul a fost destul de anost, desi efectele speciale mi-au placut, personajele nu au fost toate pe placul meu, filmul trebuie sa recunosc a avut si unele parti mai bune, dar...exista un mare DAR spre deosebire de carte pot spune ca nu merita nici nota 2. A fost foarte slab, sincer acum, nu m-am asteptat sa fie asa, unele scene au fost total pe dos, sau poate ca eu ma asteptam la mai multe. OK, poate cer prea multe dar si puterile care le au cei doi sunt modificate in film, asta e prea de tot. In concluzie, filmul o sa fie interesant doar pentru cei care nu au citit cartea, pentru ceilalti...e doar o pierdere de timp.
