Dragon Eye

          In the series "Dragon Eye", about ten years ago (there world time), a terrible virus had spread around the world, and people and animals both were infected and had transformed into terrible monsters that eat and drink the blood of the uninfected people and animals of the world. These monsters were then  known as "Dracules" (like the famous vampire) and the virus that created them was known as the "D-virus". To make things worse, because the virus affects the carririer immediately, the cure has never been created, the only way to "save" the viruses victims is to kill that person or animal. Luckily, there are people who were born and can't be infectted with  the D-virus. They are known as  VIUS, the Dracule elimination force based in the city of Mikuni. They stake their lives to protect the people and animals from extinction.
          Each person in VIUS have to be put into a squad which will have them use the skill that they can manipulate the best to destroy the Dracules and stop the D-virus from getting into the hands of people that want to use the virus for wrong perpouses.
           The story line it's self mainly revolves around Squad Zero. The leader of Squad Zero, Issa seems to be very lazy. However, when he's within battle, he is very focused and dangerous.  He has amazing fighting skills that seem to look like a Dracule like way of fighting. Issa also happens to, possess a "Dragon Eye" in his forehead and is forced to wear spell slips that keeps his power under control, otherwise the power goes crazy. A dragon eye is an eye that gives the bearer of the eye powers stronger than any human. However, there is a consequence. The bearer of the eye does not live as long if he uses the eye to much.
            Issa is looking for his older sister, Ciara, who was taken captive by the Dracules who forced him to fight for them before he joined VIUS. During Issa's time with the Dracules, he was known as "Leda" which is the title given to particularly ferocious Dracules; it means "Ogre Child". Though Issa is a good and fun loving character, he appers to have the smallest squad out of all the others. Having only two official squad members and his personality makes him not liked by the people of VIUS very much.
          I love the story and the plot but some things don't make sense to me. If he was working with the Dracules for as long as he did, why didn't he just take down his enemy and take his sister? There are plenty of other questions but it would take to much time to explain. I just wish to finish the series soon.

The Wallflower (Freaky goth girl!!!)

         The Wallflower is mainly about a girl who was called ugly by the first and only person she confessed her love to. This incident makes a huge change in her life, and as a result Sunako ignores everything beautiful, both within herself and her life as well. Sunako's aunt, who is very concerned by her niece's change for the worst, Sunako's aunt, the owner of a beautiful mansion where four very handsome students boys live, offers the boys free rent in her mansion if they can turn Sunako into a "perfect lady".

          The four boys names are Ranmaru, Yuki, Takenaga, and Kyohei. They each have a different personality that they try using to their advantage like Ranmaru tries to use his charms and Takenaga uses his smarts, and Yuki uses his kindness so that he can try to get closer to her instead of practically strangers inside of the mansion. Kyohei could care less personally ( which I find completely lame) and only does something when he gets something out of it or when he needs to. The thing that I find sad is that they are all scared of Sunako whenever they enter her room, she gets angry or when she walks, you can see her dark aura. She sometimes changes the weather and can destroy light bulbs as she walks. (that's freaky. I would NOT want to be her friend. maybe...) 


          While the four of the boys manage to make Sunako look beautiful on the outside, they know that it's not enough to become a lady. The problem relies with her attitude and her interests (which Sunako has no want in changing). They've managed to make Sunako's aunt believe that her niece is lovely lady within the walls of the mansion where they live (and to stop the rent from getting any higher to triple the regular amount). However, in reality Sunako has not changed what so ever. Sunako has the tendency to have a random nose bleed when she see's by "bright creatures" as she calls people, especially around Kyohei.
        
          The series it's self was kind of strange but however it's funny to see the reaction of the guys when they first see Sunako. Sunako apparently dressed EXTREMELY bad where they screamed or when they see her cook, they think that she is planning on killing one of them when all she is doing is cooking. I like the series but I don't know if there are any other books out currently. I would like to finish the series.
