* I award this book 5 stars*




                                

In Book One, When Angels Fall, we met Nick and Chloe. We cared for them, hoped for them and worried about them. Their young love seemed so fragile at times, when up against the world which thought they were too young, too foolish or too naive to follow their own hearts. We witnessed their growing relationship and remembered when we were in love for the very first time.

After many trials and obstacles, our young couple finally got their night. They sealed their love with a powerful, loving coupling, despite all who conspired against it happening.

In this installment of Book Two, After Angels Fall; we will find out what it means to be young, in love and up against a heartlessly cruel world.

Chloe fights the darkness of her childhood and the cruelty of her senior year, while living with people who wish to destroy her. Nick fights to hang onto their love to keep Chloe safe and whole.

Many happenings will conspire to separate them. Will love win out? Will they be able to stay together and beat the odds?

…Only the ‘Angels’ really know.

In all honesty I can say that “After Angels Fall” has not been a letdown to read. I thought nothing could compare to how amazing the first book of the series was but I could not have been more wrong. “After Angels Fall” made me not only see a young growing relationship be so full of love, misunderstandings and passion but as being completely full of honesty, hope and care.

Throughout this book you see Chloe and Nick go through many moments where there life is full of mistakes and battles .But could there love ever be broken? Chloe and Nick have such a wonderful relationship and bond that you wouldn’t want to see break apart but when many events happened either being good or bad it caused many bumps in the road which lead to exactly that but later got resolved as love took over. This for me made the book really emotional as I have gained a connection to the characters that I feel can never be broken. I found myself tearing up at a lot of the events that occurred throughout. At many moments while reading; I found myself staring at the page in utter shock to the events that were occurring and feeling an emotion shoot through me that I still cannot explain. These adventures either being good or bad brought many tears to my eye either being from sadness or happiness.  “After Angels Fall” completely captured my heart as soon as I started reading.

A lot of things have changed for both Nick and Chloe as there is a new addition to the family. But how much change has really happened? You will have to order you’re copy and find out.

Title: Eve Eden Vs. The Zombie Horde

Publication Date: November 20th 2011

*I Award This Book 4 Stars*
 
Kidnapped by a vampire, epically farted on by a pug and dragged through the pits of Hell. Welcome to Eve Eden’s world in the small and strange town of Twin Forest.

Eve has goals. She has dreams and ambitions that don’t involve staying in this weird, podunk town. When supernatural forces collide and drop her into the heart of England, she’s not exactly pleased. When Eve said she wanted to get the heck out of dodge, she didn’t mean getting transported into a torture chamber inside the dungeon of an actual castle.

Damned souls rising from the depths of Hell. Her body’s sudden ability to heal quickly from wounds. Resisting her inexplicable attraction to a vampire who’s been sent to kill her. Can life get any worse for Eve? Apparently it can, because just around the corner at Twin Forest’s cemetery…
waits the zombie horde.
**A unique adventure By debut,Author Suz Korb**
At first I found “Eve Eden Vs. The Zombie Horde” hard to get in to but as I carried on reading I found that the book became a whirl wind of adventurous mysteries. As a young girl that is placed in a parallel world as her life gets turned upside down with unanswerable questions and activities happening around her; reading from her point of view allowed us to experience her life in greater depth filling you in on mind boggling adventures and disastrous events spent with her two best friends Kimi and Jaycee. Eve is put across as being a unique, extraordinary and funny character as her sense of humour is wacky and humorous. However she contains a shocking power that shocks not only herself but many others being readers and characters, i could Feel the confusion she obviously gained when she heard her best friends mention the apocalypse which somehow begged me to read more.


My favourite part of this extraordinary book was when she was kidnapped by the mysterious vampire boy named Nathan as it seemed to foretell that more danger and adventures were about to appear. As a whole I think a lot of teenagers would relate and enjoy reading “Eve Eden Vs. The Zombie Horde” as it contains many adventures that you can only dream about in real life but becomes reality right in front of your eyes.
