Crimson Crown by Cinda Williams

Where can I start ? I have waited for so long for that book and finally it was there.
I loved the first part at least until Raisa agreed to marry Han and then it all went so wrong again.
Han is captured and Raisa thinks he is plotting with the Bayar to kill her. I literally saw the pieces of the puzzle fall together. Mrs Williams did an amazingly detailed job. I liked how Raisa matured from the insecure teenager to a queen worth following not just because of lineage or her bloodline because a big part of the book is about parentage.
A fire breaks up in the city (Rag Market) and instead of fleeing to safety the queen helped others to put the fire out. And Han cynical Han who always wanted power and world domination was ready to give it all up for Raisa. It is always so much more beautiful when a cynic falls than an trusting person.

Mr Darcy broke my heart by Beth Pattilo

There are two stories in that book one about Pride and Prejudice with its whole cast of characters and then there is the store of Claire and her boyfriend Neil, enter James Beaufort. On the surface James Beaufort is our Mr.Dracy, he is rich, gorgeous and rude. Part of Mr Darcy's appeal is his rudeness. Things aren't what they seem. Claire is attending a Jane Austen seminar in England and she meets an old who claim to have the first draft of Pride and Prejudice. First impressions. First is very different to Pride and Prejudice more tragic with its characters more selfish and I have to admit that it did broke my heart. It puts one in melancholic mood and make reflect on how perfect exactly Mr.Darcy was.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Okay, I heard a lot about the book but for one reason or the other I didn't read it until last week. I didn't really like the plot but I loved the characters. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but Simon and Jace do it so well. I always actions speak louder then words. Jace is never really nice to her but everything he does how much he cares about her. A boy risking his life for a girl he loves is nothing new but him risking his life for a someone he doesn't like but the girl cares about now that's something. It is worth the read just for the characters.
