Tohru Honda was living in a tent in the woods when Yuuki and Shiguri sohma found her. Yuuki, the 'prince' of their high school invited her to stay with them and she does. but soon Kyo sohma shows up wanting to fight yuuki and tohru finds out their family secrete, the members of the sohma family are posessed by the 12 different animals of the zodiac and when they're hugged by the opposite sex they transform into their zodiac character!

after tohru finds out about this, and after a lot of freaking out, she becomes friends with them and tries to help them break the curse. but not everyone wants the curse broken, akito ('God' to the sohma's) doesnt want the curse broken and everyone to leave him. complete with legends, love tiangles, cross dressers and a very hyper bunny this is good for all.

I love this series! my friend got me hooked when she brought it into school and and i couldnt put it down. the books were so good. i was reading four a day whenever i could get them. i reccomend this to all readers.

an easy read but very good. compleate with death, bomb threats and major boyfriend troubles it covers the whole spectrum of what you want. the thing is, for me, the book was very predictable. cant wait to read the next one!

Moon Called by Patricia Briggs

Mercy runs a garage in the tri- cities where she leads a good life, until a run away (for lack of a better word at the moment) werewolf comes to her. as she investigates what happened to him she gets into more trouble than she thought this job would contain.

this book is amazing. creating all of my fav fantasy characters (vampyres, werewolves, shapeshifters, fae).

Moon called was seriousley good, it was funny, exciting, and sad. it had me at hello and never let go. Blood bound (book 2) is just as good and i cant wait to get Iron Kissed (book 3)

a good read if you don't mind VERY graphic violence and sex scenes. i got this in Berlin and loved it. full of death, violence and rumors, it's a good book. (the uk edition has 80+ pages) just a fun fact
