The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding

I finished this two days ago but I'm like on a mad dash to finish this one I'm working on by today cause I just really want this done before school gets out and have at least 7 days to relax from reading. Yes I love reading a lot and if there was a class you could take as an elective to just read and be an active reading I'd take it, but the thing is that this is gonna be May Madness. I know some of you are completely puzzled as to that, because in the world of basketball we have March Madness. I will by the end of the day have eight books left to read and I will finish them in May so its gonna be non stop reading for me. Ok I'm just digressing now so back to books.

London is completely over run by Wych-kin who kill humans. There are people that are Wych hunters and Thaniel Fox is one of them. While on a hunt he finds this girl who is still alive but has no idea of anything from her past. Thaniel takes her in and helps her out. This leads to him and his friends to dive deep into the world of Wych-kin.

I give this one a 3 out of 5. This story is really dark and gothic like and I couldn't really get into the darkside of the book. I loved the plot and the characters and the sliver of hope thoughout the whole thing, but the dark nature of it was new to me. I've never read a book like this one before and I'm sure I would read another some day. So now its off to finish Rules of Survival.

Ever Yours,
Mandy

    I don't know who's having more fun - you reading or me counting down your reads...
    I taught a contemporary reading class back in the day before I became a librarian and this would have been just the thing. Too bad testing has ruined all of that. You go!!!

    I think we are having an equal amount of fun here to tell you the truth. I think it would be a great elective like Choir or art class something that just specialists in reading and you just read for the whole hour. I'd be way closer then I am now.
