~Review:
 So this is another one of those books where I really really wanted to read the day it came out but...you all guessed it..school. Now? Summer. Meaning? I read it.

 I'll admit. This book started out pretty slow. But it was ok! That's the way it was supposed to be!! Poor Nikki was confused and emotionless. Do I blame her? Heck no! That poor chica had been through alot! Cutest thing: What made her Return!

 You ask me? #TeamJack forever!!! He is soo cute! I am personally fond of the whole best friend turned relationship story. Never gets old for me! :D And their story: perfect!! Gah! Now don't get me wrong...I love Cole! ...just a little less than I love Jack. Jack's feelings are undeniable! Their relationship screams pure love when Cole's....its more of a possesional thing. But I admit...after one particular scene *cough cough* (the winter dance) that feeling...changed. I really wanted to believe Cole when he said he truly loved her and only wanted what was best for her. It made my heart ache and then I was as confused as Nikki. I couldn't decide which boy I liked better...until the end. That end (which I will rant about here in a second) was the tie breaker for me. Hands down...Jack is my love! <3

 And agin...this is one of those books that leaves me speachless. Honestly I have no freakin clue what to say in this review! Brodi did an AMAZING job by giving the myth a nice modern day twist/retelling! I felt the pain and loss from Nikki and enjoyed watching her piece it all back together and try to regain her relationships! 

 Now be warned. Her distance and ignorance was what made it hard for me to read at first. I wanted to put down the book because it was getting rather boring. But then everything picked up and it became a race against time! So intense!!! Word of advice when reading this book: Don't put it down. No matter how hard it may be for you to get into it. No matter how boring you think it is...DO. NOT. STOP. READING!!! I repeat: KEEP READING AND DON'T GIVE UP!!! YOU WILL REGRET THAT DECISION!!!!

 And with that out of the way....the most amazing part of the whole book!!!!>>>>>>>>>>> The end!!!!! *SCREAMS* O. my. goodness!!!! You guys I have to say that was the best ending ever!!! Seriously!! It was sooo freaking terrible! And for some reason..whenever I think about this ending I can't help but compair it to the Titanic. Anyone else?? No? Was it just me?? O well. Ya so I'm not going to give anything away but I will leave you with this....Have your covers covering you. Ya, be all snug as a bug in a rug! Have a glass of water if you start choking on your own tears and of course..now that I've mentioned the word tears....Have a ENTIRE box of Kleenex next to you. 

Yes, if you are anything like me....you will ball your little eyes out!! Seriously. I don't think I've cried that much since The Iron Queen (The Iron Fey series #3). I had the mascara running, hiccups, rocking back and forth repeating "No. No. No......"  the whole nine yards ya'll!!! I....I'm getting all teary eyed just remembering!!! Hahaha I went down stairs to my mom and the first thing she said: "Woah! We need to get you some waterproof mascara when youre reading now don't we!?" And then of course I went into her lap and balled my eyes out again. Choking on the words as I tried explaining the most terrible news I had ever read!!! *along side The Iron Queen*

Ya, so I'm just going to leave you with that. This book is getting the amount of stars I'm about to display souly for the ending. I mean the rest of the book was amazing and deserves the amount of stars but the ending sent it over the top! My reward: 10000000000000 stars!!!!! (o.O) I am sooooo looking forward to book 2!!!!!! I need more!!! :D 

Get this book everyone!!! You will need it!! ;)

Thanks for reading! :)

Cover Reveals and New Trailers

Thanks to Natalia @ Dazzling Reads I remembered to check my cover less shelf on goodreads and guess what was waiting there for me???? This beauty!!:

Amelia—still caught between life and death—must fight for every moment of her relationship with the human boy Joshua. They can hardly even kiss without Amelia accidentally dematerializing. Looking for answers, they go to visit some of Joshua’s Seer relatives in New Orleans. But even in a city so famously steeped in the supernatural, Amelia ends up with more questions than answers…and becomes increasingly convinced that she and Joshua can never have a future together.

Wandering through the French Quarter, Amelia meets other in-between ghosts, and begins to seriously consider joining them. And then she meets Gabrielle. Somehow, against impossible odds, Gaby has found a way to live a sort of half-life...a half-life for which Amelia would pay any price.

Torn between two worlds, Amelia must choose carefully, before the evil spirits of the netherworld choose for her.

Godd look at this freaking beauty!! :D I absolutely loved the first, Hereafter, and can't wait for this one!! I loved Joshua!! It was such a wonderful read!! Hurry up June 5th!!! :D

Monthly Cover Devotions & Waiting on Wednesday (2)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where it features the books we are highly anticipating and this week I'm waiting on.....

Incarnate by Jodi Medows
NEWSOUL
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.

NOSOUL
Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?

HEART
Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?

Betrayal by May Andree Michel
Where there is love and power, there is always... betrayal.

At seventeen, Cordelia is an ordinary teen with an extraordinary and frightening secret. A secret that induces vivid dreams which she not only experiences true love, but crippling fear while barely escaping with her life each night.

After a life altering event, Cordelia has an unexpected encounter with Evan, the mysterious boy from her dreams, who reveals who and what she is, a descendant of the Greek gods. At that moment everything she knows of her world is a lie, and she must leave the present and go into the past to assume the role she was put on this earth for, safeguarding her ancient empire amidst evil forces that toil hastily to destroy it.

In a race against time, Cordelia must decide if she is truly a part of this dangerous world, or risk defying the gods, and ultimately lose the boy who has put a claim on her heart. 

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. 

Aren't they all absolutely stunning?? I can't wait till they are released (Betrayal is already released)!! Hope you enjoyed these two memes! Sorry I had to put them together...it was easier than two separate posts.
