Tirade (Heven and Hell #3) by Cambria Hebert

I was given a copy of this book for review.

Tirade is the third book in the Heven and Hell series and it is even more amazing than the other two books. Cambria Hebert has a special way of making you feel connected with her characters and the world they live in.

In this book we get to travel to Hell and back again, in order for Heven to save Sam. I loved the way Heven got to grew on her own, while Sam was kept captive. Without letting her scars decide who she is supposed to be any more she was one of my favorite characters. Strong, brave and caring.

I also loved all the more scenes of Cole and Gemma. They are one of my favorite couples of the book and we even got to see some of their privete moments through Heven's new power. Another character we were introduced to from the very beginning of this book was Riley. He is the perfect bad boy. He is all tough on the outside but has a really big heart. I truly loved him. Even more than Sam...

Finally, this book was the most action-paced of the series. From the very beginning till the end I was kept on the edge of my seat. There were so many things going on that there was not a single dull moment. I can't wait for the next book.

Tirade Release Day Party + Giveaway

Like the huge Heven and Hell fan I am, I couldn't be more excited to be part of the Release Day Party. Today the third book in the series is finally out for every one to read. But let's see first what this one is all about.

Tirade (Heven and Hell, #3)

by Cambria Hebert

Betrayal burns. Death hurts and the clock ticks…

Minutes and hours stretch into days. How long can Sam survive being confined in Hell? I have a plan… a plan with a lot of holes. I need someone who can make up for my weaknesses, someone who possesses the power that I lack. Riley is supposed to be off limits. He’s dangerous, he’s mean and he’s not to be trusted. But I do.

Beelzebub is on a tirade, bent on revenge. I took what he wants and sent him into the flames. I will wear the scars of his punishments forever. But scars don’t scare me anymore.

On my way to free Sam I find my true path, a secret place and new allies. But in Hell nothing is easy… and everything is cruel. The only thing left to do is survive.

Tell Me Something Tuesday

Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by author Cambria Hebert. Every week she posts a question and we have to answer it.

This week's question:

What have been your favorite reads of 2012?

My answer:

For this I need to check my goodreads page to see what I read this year...

These are all my 5 star books that I read this year.

Now if I had to make a top 5, with no specific order...well I couldn't. I loved all of these books. And I am looking forward for the sequels to most of them :)

Charade Read Along Week Four

Chapters 21-24

1. Did you have a favorite part in this book?
I think that every single thing that happened in Rome was my favorite part of this book. Starting reading Charade I couldn't wait for the characters to go to Rome. I still wish it happened earlier and lasted longer.

2. The characters travel to hell in hopes to get the scroll back. I would say hell is the worst place they have ever been. Where is the WORST place you have ever been?
Hmmm...that's a very interesting question and one I would have to think for a while, since I never considered it. I honestly can't thing of anything. I mostly remember the places I enjoyed. And growing up I loved every place I found myself at.

3. Heven steps in front of a chain to protect Sam and is injured. She will be scarred again. Do you think she will act the same way as before or do you think that she is a different person now?
I never wanted Heven to lose her scares in the first place, I knew that she should wear them with pride after she managed to look past them and find out who she truly was, so I can say that I liked the fact that Cambria scarred her once again. I am sure this time she is going to live up to my expectations and won't hide herself.

4. We now know why Logan was acting so odd. How do you think he will be now that the demon is gone?
I am currently reading Tirade so I know how he is going to be, but while I was reading Charade I thought he'd be broken after a demon used his body like that, I wasn't that far off. Maybe he was a bit stronger than I thought.

5. Any predictions for the next book in the series, Tirade? 
HA! I need to go back to reading this one. I am only at the first half of the book. But, for the things I still haven't read, I believe that Heven is going to save Sam after all and that Gemma and Cole will get closer and closer. And for some reason I still fear (ever since the first book) that Heven's grandmother will die. Don't know when, but I have a feeling it's coming.

Link up your answers for this week's questions and get ready for next week's Friday post by Cambria. She is going to announce the giveaway winners announced and there's going to be a celebration for the release of Tirade, the next book in the series.

Unpack This (Graduation Version)

Unpack This is a meme I started instead of my usual IMM. It was inspired by my love to open boxes, yes I love doing that.

I haven't posted any new hauls the past couple of weeks and there was a great reason about it. My Uni graduation was last Friday and I was trying to finish all my studying before my friends and parents arrived on that week's Monday. So I spent the first week studying and the next week living in a one-bedroom apartment with four more people. It was a crazy two-weeks but I managed to survive and graduate Uni. Some of you might be wondering what studying was left for me to do since I was about to graduate... At the beginning of this semester I got accepted at the post-graduate program of my Uni so now I am continuing my studies in computer science. But that's enought about me. Let's talk books. Here's what I got the past three weeks.

E-Books:

Physical Books:

Ok, so since I think it's going to take forever to talk about each book, I am just going to mention some of them. 

Tirade: I am currently reading this one and it doesn't disappoint so far. I love this series. You might want to check it too if you haven't. The first two books are on sale right now on Amazon and the prequel is free.

The Name of the Wind: I am a huge fan of epic fantasy books and I heard some amazing things about this series from splashofourworlds so I can't wait to read it.

Mice: Yet another book that does not fall under what I usually read but I was convinced to get it after a review I read at booksbiscuitsandtea.

I really wanted all these books so I am really glad to finally get them. 

What did you Unpack this Week?
