{Review} Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Dare You To
Series: Pushing the Limits #2
Author: Katie McGarry
Release Date: May 28, 2013
by, Harlequin Teen
Source: Netgalley
Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."  

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....  

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all.... {Goodreads}
~Review:
  Asdfghjkl!!!!!!!!! Where do I even start!!? Ok how about how I jumped up and down squealing like a little girl and dancing like an absolute freak when I got approved on Netgalley for this? Ya, I totally went fan girl crazy on this and let me just say....I wasn't in the privacy of my own home so I earned a few weird "is she ok?" Looks! ;P

  You guys have no clue how much I loved Pushing the Limits (the first book in this companion series). It was absolutely till isn't and gut wrenching and ya I think you get my point. It was definitely one of my top five contemporaries of 2012! Katie McGarry quickly became one of my favorite contemporary authors. Hands down. She just has this amazing way with words. She takes whats so broken and fixes it with love. Her stories are so touching. Katie has got talent that we oh so thankfully get to take a look at. Her characters, writing, word choice, story plotting, everything of Katie's books are a little slice of heaven. And I am not exaggerating at all.

  Dare You To may have just beat my love for Pushing the Limits. Do you know what that means? It means that my love for this book would have to be freaking HUGE!!! And it was. This book was impossibly great! Ryan, Isaiah, Beth, the little bits we got to see of Noah and Echo, it was all brilliant. Katie just has this way of reaching into your hearts through her characters. If you have read Pushing the Limits you know that Beth has a pretty messed up life and we get to see every inch of just how messed up it is. It's your typical story of broken girl meets seemingly perfect boy. The match that seems so unlikely but ends up being so perfect.

  How many stories like that do we get in YA contemporary? How easy would it be to create a replica and it not stand out at all? To just be a blah story? Let me tell you...easy. Way to incredibly easy. I have read many and none of them stand out as much as Katie's. Dare To You will blow you away and steal your heart. If you have yet to read Pushing the Limits I suggest you read it first. It's not necessary but you will thank me. It just gives you a look at where it all began I guess. Either way. Which ever way you choose to read these companions....it's a must. I want every young adult reader to read these books. They truly are some of the best contemporaries you will ever read. Don't hesitate for a moment when you are browsing through your local book store and see one of the two. Buy it. You need these books k? ;D

{Review} The Collector by Victoria Scott

The Collector
Series: Dante Walker #1
Author: Victoria Scott
Release Date: April 2, 2013
by, Entangled Teen

Format: PDF/Kindle
Pages: 352
He makes good girls...bad.   

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence have made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple: weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal-opportunity collector and doesn't want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within ten days.

Dante doesn't know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect, he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector…and uncover emotions deeply buried.{Goodreads}
~Trailer:
*Fans self* Asdfghjkl...man is everything about this series HOTT!!? Not sure bout the kitty but...que cute! ;D

~Review:
  Asdfghjkl!!!!! Where do I even start!? Ok the hit hunk on the cover?? Ya. I think so. We got no face but hell with a body like that...I'm all good with what we are shown ;) Am I right or am I right? The cover is simple but I still love it. The color scheme is perfect and the little slogan "He makes good girls...bad". That my friends has every bit of reason to draw you into this book and if that's not enough just read the premise. When I saw this book (it didn't even have a cover yet!!) I knew I would do whatever it took to get this book!! I needed it like I need pizza. (Both are very delicious). So when I got a little email from Scott's publishers...yes....I did a little jig ;D And I scored bonus when I got the chance to interview the one and only Victoria Scott which you can find HERE!!

  Now enough with my fan girling about the cover and interview and blessing of receiving an ARC and on to fan girling about the book!! ;D Number one, Victoria Scott has a magical hand. Her writing is splendid! I just fell into the pages. The way she writes is hypnotic and not just because she decided to have the POV from Dante. In fact I give her so much props for writing Dante. He is such a unique character and obviously to have a unique character you need one awesomesauce author to create said character.

  Now to talk fully about these awesome characters. Dante. Oh my beloved Dante. Holy crap you guys...Dante. Haha he had me from page one. It's not too often you get a guys POV in YA now a days. So when you actually do it's a little piece of heaven. It's nice to read trough the other genders eyes. I don't know if it's just cause I'm a girl and girls are constantly trying to figure out what goes on in their heads but I find it extra special when we get a guys POV. Now just so you guys know...Dante isn't your typical bad boy type. He is truly a villain. You here so many people say that but it's true. Now don't let that fool you into thinking this boy has absolutely no soft side to him....cus he does. But it's only reserved for certain people. Anyways Dante is so hot and an absolute blast to read from. His personality is so like able no matter how bad he is.

  Now Charlie, Charlie was not what I was expecting at all. I was amazed by how in attractive Victoria made her (physically). I mean that was kinda the point of the book in some ways but I don't know I wasn't expecting that I guess. I felt so bad for her but at the same time I truly respected her. She was SO SO gorgeous in character/personality/morals/all-that-good-stuff. ;P No matter how many jabs she got she took ever blow with a smile an positive attitude. She was the sweetest and one of the best main girls I have ever read about. I loved her with a passion. And ten I loved her friends Abigail and Blue. They were the best. Oh and same as Dante's BFF.

  The collector was...how should I put it??...intoxicating. I was hooked from beginning to end. I didn't want it to end and when it did I had to just take a deep breath and exhale from the best freaking roller coaster I have ever read. The ending was freaking terrible and I can't believe how long I have to wait for book two. Victoria is a genius and I love her through and through!! So a quick shout-out to our genius...Thank you Victoria for having the wonderful skills you have and blessing us with Dante...ermm I mean The Collector. ;D This is a very hyped book. Everyone and their moms dog is talking about it. So my advice?? Follow all the hype, get the book, enjoy it and love it. You will thank me later (seriously if you read this book because of this review come back and tell me you loved it...ok even if your not buying it because of my demand come back and tell me just how much you loved it k? K.)

{Review} Wicked Kiss by Michelle Rowen

Wicked Kiss
Series: Nightwatchers #2
Author: Michelle Rowen
Release Date: February 26, 2013
by, Harlequin Teen
Source: Netgalley
Format: Kindle
Pages: 448
My kiss can kill.  
I used to be ordinary Samantha Day, but that's changed. Now, after one dark kiss from a dangerous boy, I can steal someone's soul…or their life. If I give in to the constant hunger inside me, I hurt anyone I kiss. If I don't…I hurt myself.

Bishop is the one whose kiss I crave most, but if I kiss him, I'll kill him. Then there's another boy, one I can't hurt. One whose kiss seems to miraculously quell my hunger. They're both part of a team of angels and demons that's joined forces in my city to fight a mysterious rising darkness, an evil that threatens everyone I know and love. I just wonder if I'll be able to help Bishop—or if I'm just another part of the darkness he's sworn to destroy….

NIGHTWATCHERS: When angels and demons must work together, something beyond evil is rising…{Goodreads}
~Review:
  Ok so for starters I wasn't a HUGE fan of book one (Dark Kiss). I really liked it but I just didn't love it. There was something just missing for me. One thing I did know after I finished it was book two was going to be flipping fantastic. It was a great lead up I should say. Was I right?

  Hell yes I was right!!! Oh gosh I was so excited to get this one because of how book one ended. I knew. I KNEW!!!! Wicked Kiss was going to be great and again it totally was. I loved this book so much! I wasn't at all disappointed. It was everything I knew it would be. Again not one of my favorite series but it was very good. It's possible to have a favorite non-favorite. I liked seeing all the characters again and then getting to meet new ones. You got so much more in this book and it was amazing.

  The only thing I was disappointed in was Kraven. I wanted a love triangle in this one. Normally I hate them because I love one boy and seeing anyone else in the way is torture especially when the one I like doesn't get the girl. I guess I didn't really want a love triangle I just wanted Kraven. He is one hot demon. I like Bishop and I guess he could be her better match but.....nah I think Kraven should have been the one but whatevs!! I liked that we got Kraven and Bishops story and how it all went wrong. That was a rather tragic story. And made me love Kraven one thousand times more. *growls*

  Anyways this book was delightful. It fed my every need and was absolutely wonderful. The writing was great. The conflict was crazy...crazy good ;D and the ending was terrific. I'm not sure if there is going to be a third one or not (of anyone knows comment the detes for me k??) but I don't think there will be one. The way it ended was kin of final but some books do that. I have no clue where it would go but id love to see it if it comes to a third book. All in all Wicked Kiss was a wonderful sequel to Dark Kiss. Better than the first! A series with unique demon and angel lore sure to capture your attention! If you haven't read it yet go and give it a try and don't stop with book one. It is so worth it!! Trust me then thank me later ;P

Doomed
Author: Tracy Deebs
Release Date: January 8, 2013
by, Walker Childrens
Source: *a copy was produced by the tour host for review purposes*
Format: Kindle
Pages: 480
Beat the game. Save the world.



Pandora’s just your average teen, glued to her cell phone and laptop, surfing Facebook and e-mailing with her friends, until the day her long-lost father sends her a link to a mysterious site featuring twelve photos of her as a child. Unable to contain her curiosity, Pandora enters the site, where she is prompted to play her favorite virtual-reality game, Zero Day. This unleashes a global computer virus that plunges the whole world into panic: suddenly, there is no Internet. No cell phones. No utilities, traffic lights, hospitals, law enforcement. Pandora teams up with handsome stepbrothers Eli and Theo to enter the virtual world of Zero Day. Simultaneously, she continues to follow the photographs from her childhood in an attempt to beat the game and track down her father, her one key to saving the world as we know it. Part The Matrix, part retelling of the Pandora myth, Doomed has something for gaming fans, dystopian fans, and romance fans alike.
{Goodreads}

"'I really like you Pandora. I don't want to make a mistake with you.'
Life's full of mistakes ?????. And if you don't kiss me now, when are you going to? We're almost out of time.'
'I won't let us run out of time.'"   
Sorry yo! Had to mask the identity of the speaker..it is a love triangle ;P
And because I really like this one too....
  "There's something inside and I strain to see it. Nearly cry out when I can finally read the word. 'Hope.'......We might very well live long, poductive lives. They won't be the lives we had once planned for ourselves but in this place, at this moment, that doesn't matter."

~Review:
  Holy shit you guys!! This book was fantastically amazing! It totally rocked my socks off. ;D I have to admit that I prefer the old cover but the cover has nothing to do with the pure genius of this book. I had the worst time putting this book down…and at times I had no choice because I was reading it during the last two weeks of school before winter break, which meant I had finals to study for, which meant if I wanted good grades, I was going to have to put the book down and do some work. It. Sucked. I wanted nothing more than to sit down and read the book until every single page was gobbled up and digested. (ermm that didn’t sound as good as I hoped haha).
  What would you do if the world as you knew it came crashing down because of a video game. Yupp! You heard that right. A video game. Its Pandora’s seventeenth birthday and to her surprise she gets an email from her dad. The same dad that hasn’t been around for years. The same dad that has her mom panicked telling Pandora that she is never to speak, email, write, or see her dad…ever. There aren’t even any pictures of Pandora and her father…and she was what, five when he left? So twelve years of no communication from her father and she finally gets some. The email has promises of old letters that were written to her and always returned , never before seen photos of them and an explanation to why he left. Never would have Pandora thought that that email, those pictures would be the worm that starts world domination. Domination that is only going to stop if Pandora plays the game.
  Like I said…Holy. Shit. This book was absolutely mind blowing. It was fast paced and completely captivating. I was hooked from page one. Tracy Deebs wove a perfectly unique, action packed story that is sure to take over the hearts of gamers and readers a like..hell, I think everyone should read it but that’s just me. At the beginning I had a little bit of a rough time trying to distinguish between what was going on in the game (especially the talking) and what was going on in the real world but after a while I had no problem easing in to the switch. When I really got into it (which ended up being every time I opened its pages) I had trouble distinguishing the lines between the book and the real world. Tracy is such an amazing writer where that is just the only way to read her book. Its not too often a book completely captures you like that but Doomed does that too you. I literally felt as if I was there every step of the way through Pandora’s journey. The writing for Doomed is clear and imaginative. Tracy definitely doesn’t hold back. 
  The story is told from Pandora’s point of view being that she is the protagonist but Eli and Theo were equally important. O my goodness. These boys! Theo is so smart. He is always one step ahead. He is quick on his feet and always so calm in the toughest situations. Theo is broody and mysterious. Oh! And he is totally hot.  He isn’t the best with jokes and taking things lightly. A smile from him is a rare occurance. He tends to be more in his own thoughts but when he steps out he totally shines. Then there is Eli. The one who can make light on things. He jokes around is more carefree.The one who can tell a joke or make a face to ease the tension...that is why I love him..so much!!! 

  I honestly have no clue what else to say other than you need to read this...like ASAP. I loved this book with a passion. It is something that makes you reflect and wonder. What would you do? Would you be able to survive? How would you act? How would you feel? It was almost scary. I have nothing else to say..I am leaving this review now. Read. Love. You need this book. You will NOT be sorry you read it and you will thank me later ;D

{Blog Tour} Falling for Summer by Kailin Gow

Falling for Summer
Series: Loving Summer #1.9
Author: Kailin Gow
Release Date: December 12, 2012
by, TheEdge Books
Source: *a review copy was provided for review purposes*
Format: Ebook
Love hits you when you least expect it, grabs you, sucks you in whole, and twists you around until you could hardly breathe. Love hurts like a sucker punch, that’s both glorious and beautiful. Falling for Summer was like that for me, every time. – Nat Donovan

The Donovan Brothers

Two brothers as gorgeous as they are dangerous.

Nat Donovan, the older more responsible brother with the passion of a starving man. Knows what he wants, but knows he can’t have it without giving up everything.

Drew Donovan, the really bad boy, the black sheep, the one who has a devil-may-care attitude, wants what he wants, but knows he would have to go through the ones he loves to have it.

Nat and Drew Donovan has known Summer Jones since they were kids. She had always been the girl next door who was best friends with their little sister Rachel and was cool enough to play with the guys. Now Summer is all grown up, gorgeous, and scorchingly sexy without even knowing it. Responsible older brother Nat, who had always tried to keep their friendship platonic, now can’t stop thinking of her and wanting more. Carefree Drew, who had always had a crush on Summer, but knew Summer’s heart was already taken, can only fall further for her. But no one had anticipated what would happen between the time the Donovan brothers fell for her and now. No one knew how hard they would fall.{Goodreads}
~Review:
  Lets start out by saying I have yet to read Loving Summer. When I got the invite for the Falling for Summer tour I was informed that you did not have to have read Loving Summer in order to understand Falling for Summer. Its true. I wasn’t completely lost when reading it but I have to admit I felt a tad out of the loop. (The author) did a good job filling you in about the past events and the characters involved. I have to say that I still recommend you reading Loving Summer. I think I might have enjoyed this book a hell of a lot better if I had. Now, this does not mean I didn’t enjoy it cus I did. A lot. I just felt as if I was missing that personal connection that is loved when reading a book. It was talking with two people that share too many inside jokes. I was missing those mere details that would provide that tie with the characters and their story. I had questions like what happened last summer!? The most important one of all. Other than that Falling for Summer carried its own story and I enjoyed it. If anything it made me want to read Loving Summer that much more. I have kept my eye on it for a while now but just haven’t found time to just yet. Looks like I will be pushing some books behind for it huh? ;D

  (The author) has a nice writing style. It all kind of just flows and makes you sit back and enjoy the words on the screen (or pages). I will admit that at times I caught grammatical errors but hey, she is an indie author and I find with most indie books there are bound to be mistakes and heck! Even the published books have their mistakes. These mistakes never hindered me from loving this book though. The characters, even though I didn’t have a deeper connection with them due to not reading the first book, grew on me. Summer is a strong, independent girl I came to enjoy. I was kind of surprised when the book had chapters from her point of view. I expected it to just be Nat’s book which obviously added to the surprise of having Drew’s point of view too.
  Now, lets get down to the nitty-gritty shall we? ;) Boys..to be more clear…the Donovan boys! O my! These boys are hot. Seriously. At times I felt as though some of Drew’s sexy dialect was a bit awkward but at others…holy smoking cows!! Ya, he had me drooling. That said, I think my heart belongs to Nat. He is totally hot and completely and entirely sweet. He is strong, courageous and would do anything for Summer. That really really shined through in this book. Again, I have no clue what happened that summer but I know I love Nat Donavon. Let’s see if that changes when I read Loving Summer. (I hardly doubt it but…I do have an act for falling for the “Drew” types).

  All in all I am so glad I got to participate in the Falling for Summer Tour! It was a super cute read and I can’t wait to read more. I totally recommend this book if you are a fan of cute beach reads with a horrible (meaning you have two boys that have you doubting the team you are on with every line of theirs) love triangle, some drama, emotion, and a little bit of inspiration. This book was totally worth the read. I feel that if I had read Loving Summer this book would be getting a better rate so based of of that….

{Review} Tempest by Jenna-Lynne Duncan

Tempest
Series: Hurricane #1.5
Author: Jenna-Lynne Duncan
Release Date: November 23, 2012
Source: *a copy was provided by the author for review purposes*
Format: E-book
Hayden Boudreaux couldn't decide which was worse— that he was falling in love with a mortal or that the only way to break his family's centuries-old curse would be to kill her. Of all that he was certain was the more time he spent with her, the more he knew he would do anything to protect Adriana Alexander, including sacrificing his eternity. What he wouldn't expect was that Luke - his brother that hated Ana, who wanted to kill her - would decide he would want her as his own.{Goodreads}
~Review:
  Let me just start off with...I am totally Team Luke. So, maybe that totally makes me a wee-bit biased. Just a wee bit.

  Anyways, even though I totally love Luke...I still really like Hayden. Both boys are great but you know..lil 'ol be likes the mysterious bad boys...even though Luke isn't bad...just mysterious. Hayden is sweet and he totally loves Ana/Adriana. (so does Luke!!..ok I'll stop now) He is loyal and honest. There is not a doubt that he would do anything and everything for Ana and I loved seeing that play out more in this little novella. This book basically goes everything that happened in Hurricane  just very much summarized....and from Hayden's POV of course. Ya, so everything that we read but shorter, skipping over some main events.

  Obviously if it is from Hayden's POV there is going to be more behind the scenes and it will be shorter. And it was. But that is what a novella is for..to give some knowledge for in between books. But here is what I need to get at I guess...Yes, I like Hayden. It was kinda cool to see his point of view but...I didn't think it was all that necessary  Again, novellas (.5's, 1.5's, 2.5's, etc) are meant to give knowledge to the readers about what was going on between certain scenes, before the book, in between books. This was just a summary of what we already read. The difference being it was shorter and from Hayden's POV. That was pretty much it.  I

  It was nothing we didn't already know. Even if it was intended for a more romantic take like Twilight being taken on by Edward, we had already saw his love and because he was such an open book pretty much with his feelings with Ana...I didn't see the necessity. What I would have enjoyed more was it being from Luke's POV (again..here is where some may think I am biased...oh wells.) I mean...bias aside...it would have made more sense. Luke's POV would have given needed knowledge. From the very beginning we knew that Hayden was infatuated with Ana. He may have been criptick and a bit reserved at times but through it all we as readers knew he still liked her a lot...there was just something that was holding him back but with Luke...He hated her. He wanted to kill her. He was focused on the goal and wasn't willing to let feelings get caught up in his mission. Then all of a sudden...BAM! He loves her to.

  The novella from his POV would have let us in to his more mysterious character. We might have gotten to see the hurt behind his parents death...the need that drove him to kill Ana. When did the light switch on and he decided he loved her too? When did she become The One? I merely think (again bias totally aside) it would have filled a bigger purpose. We knew more about Hayden because Hurricane--in a sense--was Ana and his book. They were the main love interest. The plot revolved around Ana and Hayden's love. We got side swept with Luke's love. I mean...he hated her!! Was I the only one thrown off guard? I just don't know I really would have liked it from Luke's POV. To me it would have served a better purpose. Let you gain knowledge of the things we didn't know.

  I liked Tempest. I enjoyed seeing Hayden's view. I am super duper excited for Aftermath!!! So, even though it may sound like I didn't enjoy this novella...and I am complaining...I am not. I enjoyed it. It was really good! A bit blotchy at times but again....it kinda had to be. It isn't absolutely necessary to read but it was fun to read...worth it! :) If you are a fan of Hurricane then definitely read it! And if you are TeamHayden then ya....you may want to really read it and maybe you will like it more than me hahaha but what can I say...I am a Luke kinda girl ;) So because the blotchy play and the fact I felt it unnecessary....nothing against the writing...or the series...!! It is still a good ranking I just wasnt completely thrilled with it :) SO can't wait for the next book though!! Please give me!! give me!! give me!! (oh and psst....it has a sneak peak to it!!...I skipped it cus..well I always do when there are ones....I like to be surprised...I feel more needy if I read them hahaha)

{Review} Protecting Truth by Michelle Warren

Protecting Truth
Series: Seraphina Parrish Trilogy #2
Author: Michelle Warren
Release Date: September 19, 2012
Source: *A review copy was provided by the author for review purposes*
Format: E-book
Pages: 314
Seraphina’s keeping a secret from her Wandering team: she’s perfecting her fighting skills. But telling Sam and Bishop the truth would only alert them to her plan: to go back in time, save her mom, and finish what she started. With the help of Turner, Bishop’s handsome twin, she progresses toward her goal but plummets deeper into dangerous territory where the lines of friendship and romance are blurred. One passionate kiss changes everything, leading Sera to unravel a shocking web of family secrets, heartbreaking ulterior motives, and sinister agendas. Love and lies collide in a haunting climax, where the truest souls may not survive. {Goodreads}
~Review:
  Well, to start off I loved Wander Dust. The story line and time-travel element was so unique and I quickly fell for this series. The characters were pretty darn awesome too. At the start of this book we have Sera kicking some booty. She has been working hard to progress her fighting skills so that she can go back and save her mother. But she has a protector for that right? Ya, but she plans on going alone so that no one she cares about can get hurt. Hence the fighting training. One big catch though...she is getting better than Bishop and....Bishop's twin brother, Turner, has been helping her all summer break long. Ya, that's one way to heat up the already feuding brothers.. especially because..there is a teensy little spark between Sera and Turner...even though Sera keeps denying it. Oh! And there is something Bishop is hiding..something that can potentially ruin their perfect relationship. And!!! There is still danger lurking at every corner!!

  This book was even better than the first! There were lies, betrayals, flirting, flirting with hot boys, returns of enemies...*takes deep breath* Protecting Truth had it all! And once again....I stayed up till 2 am finishing the book. See what you do Mrs. Warren!! ;) I loved seeing Sera become more independent and kick-butt. She is a pleasant protagonist to follow. And most pleasantly....Turner. I was in love with Bishop but we got to see a whole lot more of this twin of his and...I fell hard. Like, wow. Ya, he is just....haha ya. So, I have a new favorite!!! ;)

  I seriously had so much fun reading this book. It had some more humor (thanks to Turner) and I like to laugh. The twists and the ENDING!!!! OMG!!!! You guys...that ending....I died!! Michelle Warren is one heck of a writer and I wish this series got more hype than it does. It deserves it! Protecting Truth is utterly amazing! I enjoyed staying past my bed time ;) flipping through its pages. I was hooked from the beginning and didn't want to put it down. I needed to finish it right then and there. No exceptions...including sleep! I am SO excited to see what happens in the final book. I *tears up* something big needs to happen cus that..that ending...simply will not do!!

  Ugh guys, If you haven't picked up this series yet...do so. It has everything a good book needs. It is thrilling to the brim. Especially this book. It is amazing and creative and you will love it without a doubt. This review is pretty short but it has to do because there was way too much that went on for me to even begin to describe...this whole review would be filled with spoilers. Your just gonna have to trust me on how good it was. You all know I don't give out 5 stars to just an book. It seriously has to be pretty outstanding to make that mark and this book hit it. So.....

~Review:
  Where to start? Uhmm the cover? Uhhh gorgeous!!!!!! And the title! So adorable! I totally got it after reading the book! I love when the titles have a direct link to something in the story line! Michelle Warren was not only a brilliant cover and title creator...she was a fantastic writer! I loved her writing style and her creativity with Wander Dust!

  Seraphina was a great protagonist. She was real and strong. Yes, I use the word "real" a lot when I refer to characters but it is one of my main needs in characters, in books. I have to be able to find something to relate to. It all can't be pure fiction. I need real. And this book had it. Props!! I liked all the characters! Even the bad ones! They all had these likeable things to them. Well...maybe not one of them...stupid girls ;) But I felt betrayed with the ones who I came to like. I felt a loss just like Sera. :( I LOVED Bishop!!!! O.M.G!!! British? Yes please! Brown hair, green eyes? Hell Yes!! And then on top of it all...he is your protector? An excuse to spend time with him? Double hell to the yes!! Give me!! ;D He was not just a pretty face though...no this boy is as sweet as it gets and...the most romantic thing? They can travel to exotic places thanks to the wandering abilities...also...in whatever time they want...as long as they have a relic of course!

   Now you have to give props where props are due.....This was an awesome sci-fi time traveling book. I loved the "wander dust", relics, and team theories! I loved it all! It was all so awesome and thought out! I seriously wish I had the wanderer's powers! :( I want my own protector too ;)...just saying! I had so much fun reading this book! I didn't want it to end and then of course how it ended!! Thankfully, thanks to Michelle, I didn't have to but I guess in a way I do...I have books up to my ears peeps!! :( But omg, this book was amazing ya'll! I can't express any more how much I loved the theories of this time travel! I loved following this book around to how things fell in place and all! A-MAY-ZING!!

  Wander Dust is excitingly unique. With its brilliant, enticing, and time-warping story line you are bound to be hooked from the very beginning! I had only ever read one time traveling book before and I found Wander Dust wonderfully refreshing! I loved Wander Dust! Once I got into it (which didn't take too long) I couldn't put it down. I totally recommend this book to any sci-fi time traveling lovers! And to all those who aren't! You will find yourself pleasantly surprised! It has a cute love story and awesome theories to tie you into the story. If I had one super power/paranormal power it definitely would be time-traveling! I am a history junky and that would be an easy way to get around history with the personal experience! I mean wow...Ya, guys read this! You won't regret it at all!

{Review} Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill

Meant To Be
Author: Lauren Morrill
Release Date: November 13, 2012
by, Delacorte Books For Young Readers
Source: Netgalley
Format: ebook
Pages: 256
Meant to be or not meant to be . . . that is the question.
It's one thing to fall head over heels into a puddle of hazelnut coffee, and quite another to fall for the—gasp—wrong guy. Straight-A junior Julia may be accident prone, but she's queen of following rules and being prepared. That's why she keeps a pencil sharpener in her purse and a pocket Shakespeare in her, well, pocket. And that's also why she's chosen Mark Bixford, her childhood crush, as her MTB ("meant to be").
But this spring break, Julia's rules are about to get defenestrated (SAT word: to be thrown from a window) when she's partnered with her personal nemesis, class-clown Jason, on a school trip to London. After one wild party, Julia starts receiving romantic texts . . . from an unknown number! Jason promises to help discover the identity of her mysterious new suitor if she agrees to break a few rules along the way. And thus begins a wild goose chase through London, leading Julia closer and closer to the biggest surprise of all: true love.
Because sometimes the things you least expect are the most meant to be. {Goodreads}
 ~Review:
  EE!! Let's just say that ever since seeing this book for the first time I knew I needed to read it. The synopsis sounded incredible and the cover was cute and fun. A story set in London? Ya, just added to all the loveliness! What girl can resist a story set in a foreign city, a mystery, a girl set on one thing and finding herself presently surprised? Mmmm none that I know of.

  The book starts off great. Humor, back story, and insight to the character traits of the protagonist. Julia is one of those headstrong girls who has got her life all mapped out. She is a sucker for true love. Her parents were the perfect example after all. Destiny. Meant to be's. She knows it all. She is a straight-A girl who likes things to be in her control. She has a total opposite who annoys the crap out of her and that person is Jason. Fun, up-beat, I-don't-have-a-care-in-the-world Jason. He believes in fate. Things will map themselves out. There is no need for laying out your own life...it will all come to be. Why waste life on making sure it all goes like you want it when you can just enjoy yourself? He is loud, obnoxious, funny, and a total prankster. And...he just so happens to be Julia's partner on the trip. Great!

  I loved Julia. She was a protagonist I loved reading from. She was smart, witty, and had herself in order. She was determined. I liked her "hard" side. It made her credible and admirable  I admired her hopes, dreams, and ambitions. She was driven to complete all of them and I can totally appraise her for it. I LOVED Jason! He was...AH! I don't normally go for the ginger boys but...he and Puck seem to be my exceptions to the rule. He did remind me of Puck (The Iron Fey) and that made him just that more likeable. He was fun, energetic and totally sweet when he needed to be. He truly liked Julia but they had the worst ways of acknowledging it and showing it. They weren't the perfect couple but that's why I liked them so much. they fought, they screamed at each other, they hated each other at times and couldn't stand each other's presence....but at the end...they managed to forgive and get along. And eventually ***Spoiler*** love! It was real and true. No real love is all daisies and rainbows. Couples argue and fight. The true love is imperfect. And that's what theirs was. Perfectly imperfect. Real. It made me jealous!

  Morrill is a wonderful writer. Her story had me hooked from page one then staying up till the early a.m. on a school night...leaving me with only 3 hours of sleep! (Shhh...don't tell my parents!) I was so enthralled with Meant To Be I couldn't stop until the book was done. I loved it! Meant To Be is an adorable read. It will have you hanging on every last word and leave you with a hunger for more! I loved this book SO much it hurt! I laughed. I teared up. I screamed and threw my iPod at my bed. I giggled. I got those silly little butterflies in my stomach. I got jealous! Julia and Jason were a couple to look forward to in your teenage years. Jason brought the best, fun side out of her and she brought out the best, deeper side of him. That ending! Not exactly what I thought was going to happen! It surprised me! And here I thought I had it all mapped out! (Guess I need to learn from Julia hah?) I recommend this book to everyone and anyone who enjoys a cute, light hearted, adorable, and realistic contemporary read. I enjoyed it thoroughly and will read it over and over several times in the future for sure! I need to own this one! Oh, and you know that lately, I don't give out 5 stars to just any book. So when I do...its definitely amazing! So......

{Review} Dante's Girl by Courtney Cole

Dante's Girl
Series: The Paradise Diaries #1
Author: Courtney Cole
Release Date: June 24, 2012
by, Lakehouse Press
Source: Netgalley
Format: ebook
Pages: 356
I have spent every summer since I was ten years old with my father in London. Every summer, since I was ten years old, has been uneventful and boring.
Until this year.
And this year, after a freak volcanic eruption strands me far from home, I have learned these things:
1. I can make do with one outfit for three days before I buy new clothes.
2. If I hear the phrase, “You’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto,” even one more time, I might become a homicidal maniac.
3. I am horribly and embarrassingly allergic to jellyfish.
4. I am in love with Dante Giliberti, who just happens to be the beautiful, sophisticated son of the Prime Minister of a Mediterranean paradise.
5. See number four above. Because it brings with it a whole slew of problems and I’ve learned something from every one of them.
Let’s start with the fact that Dante’s world is five light-years away from mine. He goes to black-tie functions and knows the Prime Minister of England on a first name basis. I was born and raised on a farm in Kansas and wear cut-off jeans paired with cowboy boots. See the difference?
But hearts don’t care about differences. Hearts want what they want. And mine just wants to be Dante’s girl.
My heart just might be crazy. {Goodreads}
~Review:
  I was so excited to read this book and uber excited when I was approved to receive it on Netgalley! Love in a foreign city? Yes please! Those are like my favorite. Cliche? Maybe but...who the hell cares? It's a cliche everyone loves!

  The book starts out in the airport while Reece is traveling to see her father. Not something she is too thrilled about but..its a vacation right? Then she (yes literally) runs into uber hot, adorable Dante! Oops! This guy is a replica of a Greek god...both in my eyes and in Reece's. They say their apologies and part ways *sigh* but wait! They are on the same plane! *chu ching!!* But the great...has a change for the worst and a terrible disaster strikes having Dante dragged off the plane and Dante dragging Reece with him. First, uhmmm creepy! you don't even know the dude! But..he is hot and not giving her much choice so she goes and ends up stuck in a place she knew nothing about with the Prime Minister and his son..aka..Dante Giliberti.

  This book was adorably cute. It was funny and it was sweet. I loved Mia and Gavin they were the best of the book. I liked Reece. She was quirky and innocent and somewhat realistic. I have to say...some of her quirky sayings got annoying. I was kind of done with the "sweet baby monkeys" but at the same time I came to realize it was just her. We all have our dumb sayings and that's what makes us..us. But still, a bit annoying at times. I loved Dante but...he was too perfect. There weren't many flaws to him and the ones that were brought forward made him look only dumb and whiny. Put Reece and Dante together and....I wasn't quite feeling their love. I don't know what it was but something was just lacking which made me not feel the realness. Again too fiction. I felt like there was a pixie dust cloud/haze surrounding them.

  Now don't get me wrong, they were adorable. They had their relationship struggles and that helped them out in the "real" factor. The best books put enough real and enough fiction to where you have your toes curling, your cheeks blushing, and your heart fluttering. I just was sadly not feeling it. I was feeling the end though. That...that was possibly the cutest thing in the entire book!! AHH! I can go fan girl on the last 10 or so pages. A-DOR-A-BLE!!! I also felt bad about it too though. I mean, hello! What about her best friend? Was anyone thinking about her!? But, I still loved it! Cutest thing in the book! ^-^ I loved the setting and the culture. I didn't particularly like the amount of "American" jabs. I get there are going to be lots when you go out of the country but in this book...a bit too many? I just felt they were better left out.

  I am super excited for book 2 in the series (Mia's Heart). I loved her! She was so awesome. Her and Gavin were the two stable things in the book that were realistic. They were real and I loved them plus...Gavin..hot guy with a sense of humor and a dash of cockiness? I don't know why but those are what make me drawn to the guys...Humor...the guy has got to make me laugh. Not always serious you know? But also not able to be serious. Mia has a hard life and she puts up with it by wearing black and covering up but deep down she is true to her heart and self. I am SO excited to see what is brought to the table in her book! Hopefully it will be better than Dante. It will be an even balance of real and fiction. She will get deeper with Gavin and...its gonna be nice getting to know Quinn finally! ;D

  Altogether again...Dante's Girl is an adorable read. It makes you giggle like a little school girl and laugh from all the corny humor. A perfect book to read snuggled up on the coach basking in the sun like a cat (since it is no longer summer...but you can imagine! ;D) If you are looking for a quick, cute read, this book is for you! I don't ever for a second regret reading it. I liked it. I really did. I just merely didn't love it. I hope you enjoy it more than I did when you get the chance.

{Review} Easy by Tammara Webber

Easy
Author: Tammara Webber
Release Date: May 25, 2012
Source: bought
Format: ebook
Pages: 304
A girl who believes trust can be misplaced, promises are made to be broken, and loyalty is an illusion. A boy who believes truth is relative, lies can mask unbearable pain, and guilt is eternal. Will what they find in each other validate their conclusions, or disprove them all?
When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup two months into sophomore year. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she's single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, and failing a class for the first time in her life.
Leaving a party alone, Jacqueline is assaulted by her ex's frat brother. Rescued by a stranger who seems to be in the right place at the right time, she wants nothing more than to forget the attack and that night--but her savior, Lucas, sits on the back row of her econ class, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. Her friends nominate him to be the perfect rebound.
When her attacker turns stalker, Jacqueline has a choice: crumple in defeat or learn to fight back. Lucas remains protective, but he's hiding secrets of his own. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to trust is anything but easy.
(Mature Young Adult/ New Adult) {Goodreads}
~Review:
  So I bet you have heard all the corny stuff about this book being so "easy" to fall into its pages and fall in love with every last word. Well truth is....its true. It is SO easy to fall in love with every page, every word, every. single. thing. this book has to offer. It is a little older in the Young-Adult genre making it Young/New Adult. And I loved it! I loved the college atmosphere, the maturity and the plot of it all.

  Now be for-warned when you read this. This might not be something people younger than 15. It depends on your maturity level and what exactly you have been exposed to. Because you know the stories of college. The late nights, the crazy parties, the alcohol, the drugs and yes...that three letter words some of use love to hate...S-E-X. I have heard several things about sex in young adult books. Do you know what? This isn't young adult...its Mature Adult. I know people get uncomfortable with sex in books but it also depends on the author. Its all in the discretion of the reader and writer. Some people think its too much, too little, I don't know but for me this was fine. Yes, it got a bit descriptive at times but nothing uncomfortable. My tolerance level might be different for mine. So, going into this book...be warned. Use discretion.

  Now....that's over. I just wanted people to know. No one likes to be surprised with something and then ruin the book for them. It so didnt for me though. I loved this book with a passion! I liked Jacqueline. She was sweet and down to earth. She was normal and relateable. I like that in my protagonist. Someone who someone else can find something in common with. She was heartbroken and she was in need of love...but then one dark night...she needs a savior and TADA!! Savior and love come in one tidy package! :D Gah!! I loved Lucas! Like soo much!! He is the perfect bad boy with the twisted past (I wanted to cry when that was revealed!!) and the nice, considerate side that we all love our bad boy to have. *swoon!*

  This book was purely perfection! I loved, swooned, teared up, and laughed my butt off! Especially this one scene involving defense class, and the lawnmower! OMG...I died!!!!!! And will forever keep that in mind if I ever need it..hopefully never will but its noted! ;D There was humor, love, heartbreak, and the all important lesson of finding yourself and the one you love. I have so many thoughts and feelings for this book...its too much! What do I suggest? BUY! BUY! BUY!! You will not regret it! This book will forever hold a favorite spot in my Kindle! But I would prefer to own it in physical form...so when Penguin publishes this baby in November?? (yes it got publishing rights!! Congrats!!) buy it! I loved with a love so hard for this book! Did I mention that already?? Haha seriously you guys this is a book you don't want to miss! <3

{Blog Tour} Review of Transcend by Christine Fonseca

Transcend 
Author: Christine Fonseca
Release Date: September 18
by, Compass Press
Source: *a copy was provided for review purposes by SupaGirl Tours*
Format: e-book
All seventeen-year-old composer Ien Montgomery desires is an escape from his family's rigid expectations for his life; someone to inspire his music. When he meets a beautiful violin-prodigy, Kiera McDougal, his life music takes on new life. With her, he imagines a future outside of his parents’ control. That is, until a horrible accident tears them apart. 
Sent to die in a sanatorium, Ien’s obsession for Kiera grows unbearable. Tortured by thoughts he can’t escape and the truth of his monstrous disfigurement, he flees, desperate to exact revenge on the people that ruined his life – his parents. But, vengeance is empty. Betrayed by those closest to him, Ien discovers that the price for his happiness may be his sanity.
Set amidst the landscape of New York's Gilded Age, and inspired by Phantom of the Opera, TRANSCEND exposes the fine line between love and madness. {Goodreads}
~Review:
  First off, I am a huge fan of Phantom of the Opera (the new one...what can I say? Gerald Butler!) and re-tellings/inspirings! Seriously. I love! retellings and what not! Whether its movies (Snow White and the Huntsman, Once Upon a Time, and this coming 2104, Maleficent....the new Aurora movie!!!) books, tv shows, anything!! I love them! And this book...was no exception!

  Like all re-tellings....its not going to be the same as the original. You will see the similarities at times, smile to yourself cus your thinking "hehe..I know whats next", gasp in surprise cus what you thought was going to happen did not happen, then fall in love with all the twists. Dudes, this book has major twists! I fell in love with this book hard. It was beautiful and enchanting, creepy and haunting, magical and heartbreaking! To be honest, I had no clue what I was going to read other than it was inspired by the Phantom of the Opera. Man, oh man....was I pleasantly surprised when I read this! Ien is the main character and while some chapters are told in his POV...others were told in third person. Weird combo right? Yes and no...It is a bit different but I really liked it! I would elaborate the story for you but I think its best if you know only what I knew...the mystery was my favorite part I think. The writing in this book is fantastic! It was smooth, gentle, then angry and crazy!! It kind of reminded me of a piano song. One that starts out slow then reaches a huge climax and is scary then smooths out then BAM! Back to the scary climax and better than ever! It reminded me of the song from the Phantom of the Opera! It was just amazing! And that ending...definitely a huge hill to climb!! CR-A-ZY!!! o.O and sooo sad! >.<

  I fell for Ien and felt for him throughout the book. Yes, there were times I wanted to kill him...especially towards the end but even then I felt bad. Ien has a heart the size of the moon and he loves with every inch of his heart. After the terrible accident he is confused, hurt, angry. I wanted to help him but he had to help himself. I loved Jenna and *tears up* I...I just...sigh you guys are going to have to read it! I knew! I knew!! And was screaming at Ien to see it too but he was uhmmm a little late??

   Fonseca has created a masterpiece that does not let the great name of the Phantom of the Opera down. Lets just say that if The Phantom of the Opera was a person and everything that was based off of it were its child....that momma would be a heck of a lotta proud of this prodigy! (I know weird but true no judge ;D) I am sooo happy I got to be a part of this tour to read this book!

  Transcend is just too good to put into words. It is absolutely captivating! I couldn't put it down but I needed to so often cus of school! But when it came to finishing it...I was glued..then I was hyperventilating! haha What do I say? I say that if you are a fan of the Phantom of the Opera...you need to read this book! But be warned..not everything is what it seems.... *enter creepy music* ;b If you aren't a fan of the Phantom of the Opera but are a fan of a great story about love, hate, finding yourself with a creepy background....read it because it is just beautiful and enchanting and amazing and you will love it for the love, the tragedy ...the beautiful writing Fronseca creates this book with. I highly recommend this to you all to read but it might not be for everyone.

{Review} Dark Kiss by Michelle Rowan

Dark Kiss
Series: Nightwatchers #1
Author: Michelle Rowan
Release Date: March 29, 2012
by, Harlequin Teen
Source: NetGalley
Format: ebook
Pages: 348
I don't do dangerous,  Smart, ΓΌ ber-careful, ordinary Samantha-that's me. But I just couldn't pass up a surprise kiss from my number-one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me...something strange. Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It's like part of me is missing-and I don't know if I can get it back. 
Then there's Bishop. At first I thought he was just a street kid, but the secrets he's keeping are as intense as his unearthly blue eyes. If he's what I think he is, he may be the only one who can help me. But something terrifying is closing in, and the one chance Bishop and I have to stop it means losing everything I ever wanted and embracing the darkness inside me.... 
NIGHTWATCHERS 
When angels and demons must work together, something beyond evil is rising...
{Goodreads}
~Review:
  This book was wishy washy for me. At times I was really loving it and at others...not so much. I never hated parts but some just kinda left me hanging. I felt that the beginning was a bit juvenile. I don't know what it was but something just hindered me from getting hooked. The main character, Sam/Samantha, might be that reason. She lacked charisma with me. She was childish and kinda annoying. Again I'm not sure what it was but...I..I don't know.

  Another thing as it was so predictable! Like seriously. I knew what was going to happen and the "big secrets" were too obvious! I know that in some books of course the reader is going to see it before the character. That's the way some books go and it flows. With this one...It was almost frustrating. I like my books with a bit of mystery to them. I don't want to be able to predict whats behind every bend ya know? the only times I was actually and honestly surprised was when it was Kraven and Bishop's secrets.

  These boys were awesome and I think the only thing that kept me reading for awhile. They kind of remind me of Stephen and Damon from The Vampire Diaries and I really love them soo I adored these boys too and like with VD I am #TeamDamon/#TeamKraven. I love Bishop but I got a thing for the not-so-bad-boy. Both boys have their secrets and their pasts and I want to know them. Kraven really surprised me in the end and well...so did Bishop! I mean woah!! That ending....ya. I am so excited whats in store for each boy in book 2! *wiggles eyebrows* ;D

  So...no I didn't hate this book. I actually really liked it! But it took the ending to be its salvation for me. I will end up reading book two because so much wasn't answered and so much was left unsaid ;D This book has awesome angel lore I mean...the grays?? awesome! A kiss that can steal your soul...HOT!! Would I recommend you buy it?? Mmmm not so much. But that is entirely up to you. I say check it out from the library or borrow it from a friend. But hopefully you'll have better luck with it than I did. Again, I liked the book! I just couldn't find myself loving it ya know? Worth the read?? Yes most definitely! :)

3 stars!!
