It Will Always Be You  by Tina Ness (You #1) Publication date: October 26th 2014 Genres: Adult, Contemporary,  Romance Synopsis: It Will Always Be You can be read as a stand-alone After surviving four years with a commitment-phobic boyfriend, Elizabeth wants nothing more than to settle down. Too bad the man she desires, Marshall Roderick, leaves her flustered, trembling, and unable to utter a single word when he’s near.

Manga reviews: Vampire Knight, Vol. 17, Vol. 18, and Vol. 19, by Matsuri Hino

Vampire Knight, Vol. 17 (Vampire Knight #17) by Matsuri Hino Paranormal manga Paperback, 208 pages Published November 5th 2013 by VIZ Media (first published December 5th 2012) My rating: 3 Cover comment: I like the art of Kaname and Ichijo Book source: library Having been with this series from the very beginning I must say the art simply improves with each installment. There are some gorgeous images on these pages, especially with Yuki and Zero and the pain etched in Kaname's eyes is especially touching. As for the storylines, there is now a sense of urgency as the series prepares to end soon. Zero has more of an active role once again and since he's one of my favorite characters, I'm glad. I haven't been a huge fan of the whole female progenitor story and the origin metal and the fire, but I'm tolerating, knowing the end is in sight. Sara is still exerting her annoying ways, this time even impacting Yuki and President Cross doesn't make ...
