Pride And Prejudice And Zombies Trailer

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith is the latest of the many retellings of Jane Austen's classic. Much like the original, the Bennett sisters live in the English countryside, which is stirred by the arrival of two wealthy bachelors. Unlike the original, the resulting opinions and relationships formed between the characters is played out against the backdrop of hordes of undead roaming the meadows, which they often have to fight off, making it a unique and fun read.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies..."smile." I’m sorry. I don’t know if I can do this review justice without giving a good chuckle at that sentence. But that’s where the laughing ends. No doubt, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will become a bestseller in its own right. It does not contain the whimsy and wink that Zombies did. However, overall, Vampire Hunter is actually "better written." The question is if you can handle the life of one of America’s most respected presidents being turned into a Gothic nightmare.

Entice-Music Trailer

ENTICE

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that’s not how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is gone. He’s been taken to some mythic place for warriors called Valhalla, where Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. It’s just not going to be easy.
Meanwhile, Bedford needs its warriors more than ever, since a group of evil pixies is devastating the place, with teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent. But even if Zara and her friends can find the way to Valhalla, there’s that other small problem: Zara’s been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to leave with her? Especially considering she hasn’t turned into just any pixie . . . She’s Astley’s queen.

CAPTIVATE book trailer

Zara and her friends thought they’d solved the pixie problem. And they did — sort of. The pixies are all locked away, deep in the woods. But the king’s needs grow stronger each day that he is in captivity, while his control over his people weakens. And it’s enough to draw a new king into town. Astley claims he is different. He claims there are pixies who can live peacefully with humans, that it doesn’t have to be all violence and nastiness all the time. Zara wants to believe him . . . until Astley also claims that she is fated to be his queen.
There is no way Zara would ever turn pixie. And she’s got good friends who will make sure of that. Besides, she and Nick are so in love they’re practically inseparable. But when the very thing Zara wants to protect most is exactly what’s at risk, she is forced to make choices she never imagined. . . .

NEED:
Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal.

 Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.

There are 4 books in this series at this time, 3 are out now and the 4th will be out soon, ( cant wait :-) Carrie Jones is a very good writer and i love these books.

The first writers to be labeled as Gothic were Horace Walpole, Anne Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis. Walpole wrote the Castle of Otranto in 1764, and is often thought to be the first Gothic writer. The other two wrote their most famous novels, The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Monk in the last decade of the 18th century. There were precursors of their work, but these are the first to achieve success and popularize the term.
