The End Of Me by Tara Brown
Summary His death was almost the end of me. He was still everywhere, surrounding me. In our children’s eyes, in the smell lingering in our bed, in candy bar wrappers stuffed down the side of the minivan driver door. He was everywhere except where I needed him to be. In my arms, kissing my lips, on the name of the deed to our house. When his death didn’t end me, the proposal from the man who owned every moment of my life, did. My husband carried on in the places he wanted to be but I was gone the moment … Continue reading
Review: Lover Be Mine: A Legendary Lovers Novel by Nicole Jordan
Title: Lover Be Mine Author: Nicole Jordan Rating: ★★★★★ Genre: Contemporary Romance Publisher: Ballantine Books Publication Date: May 28, 2013 Review: Remember the love tragedy of Romeo and Juliette? As a reader and reviewer, this was one of my favorite Shakespearean pieces. When I read Nicole Jordan’s synopsis of “Lover Be Mine” I jumped on the chance to read this book. Normally taking my time on a book, I like to read it cover to cover and really digest it over time. Well with one I couldn’t stop! I had it read in about a day and a half, if … Continue reading

Everbound by @Brodiashton
Title: Everbound Rating: Author: Brodi Ashton Genre: YA/Fantasy/Paranormal/Romance/Mythology Publisher: Balzer + Bray Release Date: January 22, 2013 Review: I didn’t think it was possible for me to enjoy Everbound more than Everneath, the first book of this trilogy, but I did. I really, really did! Those of you who tend to shy away from trilogies, rest assured, Everbound defies that dreaded ‘middle book syndrome’. Ashton also does a formidable job of refreshing our memories about the events from book 1 without the dreaded ‘info dump’ that inevitably bogs down the first half of some books. Nikki firmly establishes herself as … Continue reading

Asunder by @jodimeadows
Title: Asunder Rating: Author: Jodi Meadows Genre: YA/Fantasy/Dystopian/Romance Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books Release Date: January 29, 2013 Review: I absolutely LOVED Incarnate, the first installment of this trilogy, so I was beyond excited for this book. It definitely didn’t disappoint. Jodi is a brilliant writer – I just really enjoy her easy-to-read style. Asunder opens where Incarnate left off. Everyone is still trying to come to terms with the aftereffects of Templedark, when many people died who will no longer be reincarnated. Many in the community still don’t trust Ana, even though she tried to warn them about what would … Continue reading

Arclight by Josin L. McQuein
Title: Arclight Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: April 23, 2013 Publisher: Greenwillow Books Review: I am in love with Josin McQuein. It’s no secret how much I love dystopia and that clandestine romance dates back to The Giver from my 7th grade lit class. There’s something relevant and mysterious about dystopia and I’m constantly searching for new books that do it right. Josin has that gift. Arclight was a creepy techno-thriller, paranormal fiction, and YA romance all wrapped up into one neat little package. Marina’s lack of memory allows readers to grow and learn with her and Tobin’s … Continue reading

The Elite by @KieraCass
Title: The Elite Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: April 23, 2013 Publisher: HarperTeen Review: After reading The Selection, I waited for the longest year ever for the second book and The Elite delivered all I wanted and more. But now I’m torn. Because I don’t know if I love Maxon or Aspen more. America is strong and quirky in the first book and that doesn’t change in The Elite. Rather, Kiera had the awesome ability of making her better and even more relatable than she was the first time around. I loved America in the first book, but … Continue reading

Bewitched by Mark Harris – Blog Tour
Title: Bewitched Rating: Genre: YA / Urban Fantasy Release Date: March 1, 2013 Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Review: As you know, I’m a huge fan of anything with supernatural elements. Fairies, shapeshifts – you name it and I want to read about it. But witches aren’t something I’ve read alot about. I love that Harris provides a throwback to the Darren and Samantha of years ago by putting a new spin on an old story. Darren is a normal, teenage boy with a serious crush on a badass witch. Harris constructs an amazing world of witches – where they come from … Continue reading

Arcadia Awakens by Kai Meyer
Title: Arcadia Awakens Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: February 14th 2012 Publisher: Balzer + Bray Review: Kai Meyer creates a unique world right under our noses, a world in which Italian mobs control everything, and even your family can’t be trusted. The story is full of myth and intrigue and kept me focused all the way through. Why I loved this book: Arcadia Awakens is unlike anything I’ve read before. Being in a foreign place added to the mystery of the myth as a whole and gave me a new place to learn about. Rosa isn’t a shy, … Continue reading

Taken by Erin Bowman
Title: Taken Rating: Genre: YA / Dystopia Release Date: April 16th 2013 Publisher: HarperTeen Review: What do you get when Ursula K. LeGuin meets Lois Lowry, runs away with him, and has a love child? Erin Bowman’s Taken is an epic dystopian YA with elements of science fiction in a version of reality that reads all too real. The cover was enough to make me pick up the book; the first page was enough to keep me in it until it was finished. Taken does back to some of our older dystopian roots, expands on them, and creates a whirlwind … Continue reading

The Watcher by Lisa Voisin
Title: The Watcher Rating: Genre: YA / Supernatural Publisher: Inkspell Publishing Release Date: March 4, 2013 Review: In my quest to find epic YA books, I was thrilled to be asked to review an ARC of The Watcher by Lisa Voisin. Mia reminded me a lot of Schuyler from the Blue Bloods series or Luce from the Fallen series. As with many other books of this variety, we have semi-quirky, not-so-popular girl that attracts the attention of a super-cute bad-boy with a secret. I loved Mia because she was practical and had real reactions to the oddities happening in her … Continue reading

A Song for Julia by Charles Sheehan-Miles
4 Stars! I once again am honored to be writing a review for Charles Sheehan-Miles. He is a wonderful writer and I enjoy every minute I’m reading one of his romance books. His characters are well developed and the way he folds and blends the past and present together is stunning. In A Song for Julia we get to hear the story of Julia and Crank (yes that is his real name). We catch a glimpse of them in Just Remember to Breathe but now we know the whole story. Now we know the hardship Julia faced being the oldest … Continue reading
