Today I received my first Owlcrate box (of a lot to come). I had heard so many good things about this box on Instagram that I had to try (even though the shipping costs are as expensive as the box itself when you live in Europe)! But trust me, it is worth it! 

Owlcrate is a YA book box with different themes every month. October was Once upon a dream and November was Wonderland. You have a book published the past month with different goodies related to the monthly theme. All the goodies are created by famous Instagrammers/Bookstagrammers. 

International book box

She's a mortal with dark powers...

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...

He's the Prince of Night...

Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him—a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

Dating the Prince of Darkness has its challenges...

Leila's psychic abilities have been failing her, and now she isn't sure what the future holds. If that weren't enough, her lover, Vlad, has been acting distant. Though Leila is a mere mortal, she's also a modern woman who refuses to accept the cold shoulder treatment forever–especially from the darkly handsome vampire who still won't admit that he loves her.

Like choosing between eternal love and a loveless eternity...

Soon circumstances send Leila back to the carnival circuit, where tragedy strikes. And when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer who may be closer than she realizes, Leila must decide who to trust– the fiery vampire who arouses her passions like no other or the tortured knight who longs to be more than a friend? With danger stalking her every step of the way, all it takes is one wrong move to damn her for eternity.

Play with fire, pay the price.

Leila’s years on the carnie circuit were certainly an education. What she didn’t learn: how to be a vampire, or how to be married to the most famous vampire of them all. Adjusting to both has Leila teetering on a knife edge between passion and peril, and now the real danger is about to begin…

Vlad must battle with a centuries-old enemy whose reach stretches across continents and whose strength equals his own. It isn’t like Vlad to feel fear, but he does…for Leila, because his enemy knows she is Vlad’s greatest weakness. As friend and foe alike align against him—and his overprotectiveness drives Leila away—Vlad’s love for his new bride could be the very thing that dooms them both…

Soooo I read this series a long time ago but as Halloween is coming closer, I thought it would be nice to do a little review of these three books. 

Basically, the story starts with Leila - also known as Frankie - a young woman with some unusual skills. What do I mean by that? Oh, she can see people's past, present and future just by touching them. She is a telepath. How did she get this skill? She nearly died when an electric pole fell down on her. Now, electricity runs along her right hand, thus she needs to permanently wear a glove. She is well aware that there are not just Human beings on Earth but also other creatures. Hell, her best friend is a vampire. 

Anyway, she is kidnapped by 3 vampires who ask her to find someone else, another vampire far more powerful than they are. She "connects" with him through an object they have her. And damn, how they connect! She is surprised when she understands that he can actually read her mind. Desperate time calls for desperate measures! She asks him to help her get rid off the other vampires. 

Even though Vlad actually flies - as literally flies - from Romania to the U.S to rescue Leila, he is not ready to let her go just yet and together, they intend to know who wants to bring Vlad down. 

Aujourd'hui est un grand jour pour moi parce que c'est la toute première fois que je reçois une box livresque ! Il était difficile de choisir la box que je souhaitais recevoir. Il y a énormément de box qui proposent maintenant des livres avec une livraison à l'international. Bien évidemment, avec les frais d'envoi, le prix devient rapidement élevé. Donc j'ai fait le choix d'une box française centrée sur les romans Jeunes Adultes. C'est mon péché mignon ! ^^

Mille et un livres box est une box qui proposent des livres Jeunes Adultes avec, chaque mois, un nouveau thème. Le mois d'octobre était centré sur le thème des Mystères et le mois de novembre était  centré sur le thème des Geeks. Pour la box spéciale Noël, vous pouvez choisir entre six livres. Dans la box, il y a également de nombreux goodies.
