The Dark Heroine:book reveiw

greetings dark readers,
                today i am going to be reviewing a book that i recieved for my birthday in october and have just managed to finish it due to college work and jobs getting in the way. this is the book

now normally im a bit scepticall about new style vampire books especially after the twilight series in which vampires where made to 'sparkle' in the sun. now call me a downer i dont care but vampires should NOT sparkle in the sun so i was pleased to learn that our dark fiends in this particular 549 paged novel do burn in the sun, they dont die but they do get 3rd degree burns if they stay out too long once they have matured.

the main heroine of this tale is Violet Lee who just 'happened' to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, a vegetarian goody goody who got ok grades, never went out nearly as much as her friends would want her too and has a terminally ill sister with leukimia. I really connected with her sarcastic and often terrible wit but admired her bravery due to the situation she had been thrust into. it is well worth reading and the evil/loving/playboy prince of the vampires Kaspar who is sure to win you beautifuly dark minded girls hearts quickly even though he does start out as a colossal vampire jerk but hey at least he's doing what vampires should do and drinking human/hunters blood right?

well thats all i will say about the book for now im sure noone would want me to spoil the ending, but i give this book a 4 out of 5 stars and would recomend it to anyone who loves a sexy but gory vampire novel where there are REAL vampires that only sparkle when you through a tub of glitter over them. i will say though this book is NOT suitable for those who do not read mildely erotic tales, or are under the age of 15 this is a warning guys do not do it there are some pretty explicit descriptions in here ok. so happy reading and i hope to see you all when i post my next installment of The Travelling Gothic Witch

TaTa for now ^^

childish? timewasters? entertainment? inspiration?

Good evening my dark readers,
           today im going to be talking about another topic that is close to my heart that is not directly linked to my main blog topics of the gothic and the witchy but does at times overlap, well i think it does anyway so thats all that matters to me ^.^.
Anime or Animated television especially the japanese catagory is a passion of mine that i cannot seem to shake, whether it was Pokemon and Cardcaptors as a child to Elfen Lied and Pandora Hearts today i have allways been fascinated with the japanese animation programs with their fascinating often repetative story lines and captivating images.
Over the years I have been criticized for watching them and yes at times they did clash with my grades in high school because i used most of my free time either watching or reading (in the form of manga) these interesting and fantastical tales.
Most recently i have been fascinated with the dark plotlines of Pandora Hearts, Kuroshitsuji, Elfen Lied and Vampire Knight as i slowely trudge through the online releases of the books after having watched their cartoon counterparts several months before and wanting to see if there was any more to the story. I patiently wait for each new chapter release and fill my time doing useful things such as homework, story writing and recreational art. But what has got me wondering is why people have such different opinions of people who watch and read these wonderful creations after they turn 10 years of age say, as you get older you are seen as weird if you continue to indulge in these things and are often veiwed as people who arent very cool, or as a little bit anti social. i would like to ask you my faithful readers around the world of what you think of people who do watch these programs and when if ever you think people should stop and go to watching other things (if you do comment please give examples of what you think people should be watching instead) i would very much like to hear your opinions and also if anyone has any topics they would like me to discuss please comment and i will strive to post something on them as soon as i am able.

Thankyou for reading and i hope you will continue to return and read my posts as i continue to touch on many different topics i come across as i the gothic travelling witch journies through life with all its mysteries so for now here are a few images from my current favourite anime Pandora Hearts for you (i do not own these they belong to their respective owners of copywrite)

blessed be and see you again soon i hope ^^
