The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her best friend Ellie gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as Cole’s date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different reservations. Like the one where she’d rather stay home shredding online zombies. And the one where she hates playing dress-up. And </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">especially</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> the one where she’s been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of time.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">When Cole surprises her at the after party with a kiss under the stars, it’s everything Lucy has ever dreamed of… and the biggest BFF deal-breaker ever.

But before they get the chance, Lucy’s own Facebook profile mysteriously explodes with compromising pics of her and Cole, along with tons of other students’ party indiscretions. Tagged. Liked. And furiously viral.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">By Monday morning, Lucy’s been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc, mired in a tabloid-worthy scandal just weeks before graduation. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Lucy’s been battling undead masses online long enough to know there’s only one way to survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight.

Thanks to a stupid seizure she had a few months earlier, Haley’s stuck going on vacation with her dad and his new family to Disney’s Fort Wilderness instead of enjoying the last session of summer camp back home with her friends. Fort Wilderness holds lots of childhood memories for her father, but surely nothing for Haley. But then a new seizure triggers something she’s never before experienced—time travel—and she ends up in River Country, the campground’s long-abandoned water park, during its heyday.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The year? 1982.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">And there—with its amusing fashion, “oldies” music, and primitive technology—she runs into familiar faces: </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">teenage</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> Dad and Mom before they’d even met. Somehow, Haley must find her way back to the twenty-first century before her present-day parents anguish over her disappearance, a difficult feat now that she’s met Jason, one of the park’s summer residents and employees, who takes the strangely dressed stowaway under his wing.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Seizures aside, Haley’s used to controlling her life, and she has no idea how to deal with this dilemma.

And after she kills, she’s tortured by visions—glimpses into her victims would-have-been futures had she not killed them.

Someone who wouldn’t rather date her gorgeous best friend, Megan. Someone who won’t freak out when he learns about the tragedy her family still hasn’t recovered from. Someone whose kisses can carry her away from her backwoods town for one fleeting moment.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Until Claire meets Luke.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">But Megan is falling for Luke, too, and if there’s one thing Claire knows for sure, it’s that Megan’s pretty much irresistible.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">With true love and best friendship on the line, Claire suddenly has everything to lose.

<u>Paranoia </u>by J.R. Johansson<br />
WARNING- SEQUEL!<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In the aftermath of the events that nearly killed him, Parker Chipp is trying to learn to cope better with life as a Watcher. And it seems to be working...until he wakes up in jail with a hangover and 12 hours of missing time. Darkness has somehow taken control and Parker doesn't have a clue how to stop him. He finds an unlikely ally in Jack, the mysterious guy in the motorcycle jacket who offers to help Parker master his abilities as a Watcher. But even as they practice, the darkness inside Parker is getting more and more powerful, taking over Parker’s body and doing everything he can to destroy Parker's life.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">When Jack reveals that there is another kind of Night Walker, known as a Taker, Parker starts to wonder if the strange things happening in Oakville are more than just a coincidence. After all, people are more than just sleepwalking. They're emptying their savings accounts with no memory of doing so, wandering into strange parts of town and disappearing, they're even killing other people--all in their sleep. If Parker wants to find out what's happening or have any hope of seeing his father again, he’ll have to defy Jack and put his own life in danger...because the more he learns about these other Night Walkers, the more certain he becomes that his life isn't the only one that could be lost.</span><br />

But nothing she sees in her dreams of the old country--the people, the places--makes any sense. Could it all be the result of an overactive imagination . . . or could everything she's been told about her ancestors be a lie?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Once in Wales, she meets Gareth Lewis, a boy plagued by dreams of his own--visions he can't shake after meeting a ghost among the misty cairns along the Welsh seaside.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">A ghost named Olwen Nia Evans.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won’t stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn’t want to be her?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Fans of Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, and Maggie Stiefvater will embrace the richly drawn, Norse-influenced alternate world of the United States of Asgard, where cell phones, rock bands, and evangelical preachers coexist with dragon slaying, rune casting, and sword training in schools. Where the president runs the country alongside a council of Valkyries, gods walk the red carpet with Hollywood starlets, and the U.S. military has a special battalion dedicated to eradicating Rocky Mountain trolls. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Signy Valborn was seven years old when she climbed the New World Tree and met Odin Alfather, who declared that if she could solve a single riddle, he would make her one of his Valkyrie. For ten years Signy has trained in the arts of war, politics, and leadership, never dreaming that a Greater Mountain Troll might hold the answer to the riddle, but that’s exactly what Ned the Spiritless promises her. A mysterious troll hunter who talks in riddles and ancient poetry, Ned is a hard man to trust. Unfortunately, Signy is running out of time. Accompanied by an outcast berserker named Soren Bearstar, she and Ned take off across the ice sheets of Canadia to hunt the mother of trolls and claim Signy’s destiny.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">When Alix's charismatic girlfriend, Swanee, dies from sudden cardiac arrest, Alix is overcome with despair. As she searches Swanee's room for mementos of their relationship, she finds Swanee's cell phone, pinging with dozens of texts sent from a mysterious contact, L.T. The most recent text reads: "Please tell me what I did. Please, Swan. Te amo. I love you."</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Shocked and betrayed, Alix learns that Swanee has been leading a double life--secretly dating a girl named Liana the entire time she's been with Alix. Alix texts Liana from Swanee's phone, pretending to be Swanee in order to gather information before finally meeting face-to-face to break the news.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Brought together by Swanee's lies, Alix and Liana become closer than they'd thought possible. But Alix is still hiding the truth from Liana. Alix knows what it feels like to be lied to--but will coming clean to Liana mean losing her, too?</span><br />

Everything she held dear—her family, her home, her former life—is gone forever. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Ren survives four years of training, torture, and misery, in large part thanks to Junie, a fellow F.A.T.E. abductee who started out as lost and confused as she did. She wouldn’t admit it was possible to find love in a prison beyond imagining, but what she feels for Junie may just be the closest thing to it. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">At eighteen they part ways when Ren receives her assignment: find and protect college science student Gareth Young, or die trying. Life following a college nerd is uneventful, until an attack on Gareth forces Ren to track down the only person she can trust. When she and Junie discover that the F.A.T.E. itself might be behind the attacks, even certain knowledge of the future may not be enough to save their kidnappers from the killing machines they created.</span><br />

She’s never been in a car. She’s never used a cell phone. That’s because Starbird has always lived on the Free Family Farm, a commune in the woods of Washington State.

A childhood marked early by the drowning death of her mother—a death to which Callie was the sole witness. Her father has moved them inland, away from the memories of the California coast her mother loved so much and toward promises of recovery—and the escape of denial—in arid, landlocked air.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">But after years of running away, the promise of a life-changing job for her father brings Callie and him back to the coast, to Florida, where Callie’s symptoms miraculously disappear. For once, life seems delightfully normal. But the ocean’s edge offers more than healing air … it holds a magnetic pull, drawing Callie closer and closer to the chilly, watery embrace that claimed her mother. Returned to the ocean, Callie comes of age and comes into a family destiny that holds generations of secrets and very few happy endings.</span><br />

But when she’s married off to Henry Fitzroy, King Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, she rockets into the Tudor court’s inner circle. Mary and “Fitz” join a tight clique of rebels who test the boundaries of court’s strict rules with their games, dares, and flirtations. The more Mary gets to know Fitz, the harder she falls for him, but is forbidden from seeing him alone. The rules of court were made to be pushed…but pushing them too far means certain death.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">My review:</span><br />
Lily loves to sing. Singing is all that matters to her except for her family and friends. She would do anything to sing. It doesn't matter that her family doesn't have much money. She just wants to sing; her whole live revolves around her singing. Her high school is the perfect school for her. It has an award winning vocal ensemble, but one day the school decides to have some cuts and the ensemble is taken away forever. Now all of Lily's hopes at getting into a college vocal program are shot.<br />
But then she meets Aidan. Aidan is damaged and broken, just like her. They become friends and maybe something more. Lily might have found a way to accomplish her dream. All seems perfect until Lily learns she might lose her home. Now she must deal with her feelings for Aidan, her love for music, and the love she feels for her family.<br />
I love books that have music involved. It might be because I'm not musically inclined and I just like to read books about amazing singers. Lily's whole life is about singing. Her dream of becoming a professional singer has been ruined because of her music program being shut. But that doesn't stop her. I found Lily to be brave as she never gave up on her dream, no matter how impossible it seemed to be to her.<br />
Lily is an awesome character. She's strong-willed and she never gives up, no matter how much she wants to. She never puts guys in front of her family. Yet Lily is selfless when it comes to her family. When she has to make a decision between music and her family, Lily would always choose her family. Lily never loses sight of her dream except when she has to sacrifice everything for her family.<br />
I felt connected to Lily and as if I was her at times. She was just so caring, even to family members she didn't really like. She helps others even when it inconveniences her.<br />
I didn't particularly like Aidan. He made me want to strangle him most of the time, though I guess that did give him an appeal. It made him seem more lifelike as he acted just like an actual teenage guy would act. At times, he seemed to blow her off with a flippant excuse. And, of course, Lily, the forgiving person she is, just accepts these excuses, no matter how much she may doubt him. Lily knew her love for him was strong enough not to be ruined by doubts.<br />
This is a well written book and I found it entertaining. I definitely want to read more about Lily and more from this author.<br />

<u>The Girl Who Never Was </u>by Skylar Dorset<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">THE GIRL WHO NEVER WAS is the story of Selkie Stewart, who thinks she’s a totally normal teenager growing up in Boston. Sure, her father is in an insane asylum, her mother left her on his doorstep—literally—when she was a baby, and she’s being raised by two ancient aunts who spend their time hunting gnomes in their Beacon Hill townhouse. But other than that her life is totally normal! She’s got an adventurous best friend who’s always got her back and an unrequited crush on an older boy named Ben. Just like any other teenager, right?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">When Selkie goes in search of the mother she’s never known, she gets more than she bargained for. It turns out that her mother is faerie royalty, which would make Selkie a faerie princess—except for the part where her father is an ogre, which makes her only half of anything. Even more confusing, there’s a prophecy that Selkie is going to destroy the tyrannical Seelie Court, which is why her mother actually wants to kill her. Selkie has been kept hidden all her life by her adoring aunts, with the help of a Salem wizard named Will. And Ben. Because the boy she thinks she’s in love with turns out to be a faerie whose enchantment has kept her alive, but also kept her in the dark about her own life.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Now, with enchantments dissolved and prophecies swinging into action, Selkie finds herself on a series of mad quests to save the people she’s always loved and a life she’s learning to love. But in a supernatural world of increasingly complex alliances and distressingly complicated deceptions, it’s so hard to know who to trust. Does her mother really wish to kill her? Would Will sacrifice her for the sake of the prophecy? And does Ben really love her or is it all an elaborate ruse? In order to survive, Selkie realizes that the key is learning—and accepting—who she really is.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">In Thalia’s world, there is no need for food—everyone takes medication (or “inocs”) to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground movement to bring food back, she realizes that most people live a life much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and so is he—the inocs aren’t working. Together they set out to find the only thing that will quell their hunger: real food.</span><br />

When Healy High star quarterback, Brandon Fitzsimmons, dies in a car crash, it was because he was sexting with Alice.

Rumor has it Alice Franklin is a slut. It's written all over the "slut stall" in the girls' bathroom: "Alice had sex in exchange for math test answers" and "Alice got an abortion last semester." After Brandon dies, the rumors start to spiral out of control. In this remarkable debut novel, four Healy High students tell all they "know" about Alice--and in doing so reveal their own secrets and motivations, painting a raw look at the realities of teen life. But in this novel from Jennifer Mathieu, exactly what is the truth about Alice? In the end there's only one person to ask: Alice herself.</span><br />

How's everyone doing? I'm finally out of school and I'm ready to do absolutely nothing this summer! My family's going on a trip to Disney and we're leaving next Sunday. I'm not sure I'll be able to do an In My Mailbox at that time so this might be the last In My Mailbox for two weeks. Enough about me. Who's ready for summer? Who's gonna do something fun and adventurous? Who's gonna stay at home the whole time?<br />
Anyway, here are my books!<br />

<br />
Format: E-book<br />
Pub. Date: April 25th, 2014<br />
Summary:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Neva is different. Aside from having a phobia of mirrors and an unquenchable desire for apples, she harbors a dark secret. She's been cursed to repeat the same three years of her life over and over again. Unfortunately, these three years happen to be Neva's sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school, and high school's not that easy when everyone considers you a freak. To break her curse, Neva must accomplish a grisly task that she can't bring herself to complete. Will Neva break her curse in time, or will she be bound by it forever?</span><br />
My rating: 3 out of 5 apples!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes fairy tale retellings!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Neva isn't a normal curse. She was cursed several years ago to relive the same three years of her life. Sadly, these three years are when Neva has to go to high school. So she has to relive the same high school drama over and over again. To others, Neva is an outcast, a freak, because of her phobia of mirrors and her uncontrollable obsession with apples which is part of her curse.<br />
To break this curse, Neva has to commit a gruesome task, a task she will never do, no matter how long the curse lasts. Neva has to either find another way to break the curse, or she will have to do the inconceivable act.<br />
I liked this book. It was definitely original and interesting and I liked how the author retold some fairy tales, but the book was predictable. Instead of the fairy tale being a mystery, the clues were right in my face as I read this book and I could easily figure out what was going to happen.<br />
The interpretation was really good though. I liked how the curse had three parts to it and I especially enjoyed reading about Neva's unhealthy obsession with apples. It kept the book humorous and fun. Neva was unique, but she didn't really have any depth to her. I wanted to know more about her, her reasons for not breaking the curse, and more about her past. You learn all about that in the end which seemed a bit rushed.<br />
The students at Neva's school seemed really stereotypical. I know most people assume all high schools have the dumb, hot jock and the airhead cheerleader, but most schools don't have these stereotypes. I wish there weren't as many stereotypes with the characters as the stereotypes made it very easy to predict the character's future actions.<br />
The book was short and I did enjoy reading it. I could read it all in one sitting and I didn't want to stop reading it. While the book was predictable, I did want to keep reading so I could experience Neva's humor as it kept the book refreshing the whole time. I would have liked some more elaboration with the fairy tales, but I definitely did like this book.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-5503868479748134752014-05-31T09:00:00.001-04:002014-05-31T09:00:15.623-04:00Review on Being Hartley<br />

Format: Paperback/e-book<br />
Pub. Date: February 27th, 2014<br />
Summary:<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><i>Fifteen-year-old Thea Wallis was born to entertain. Her mother, Oscar winning actress Cassie Hartley, thinks differently and has kept her daughter out of the spotlight since day one. Coming from showbiz royalty, it hasn't been easy to go unnoticed, but mismatched surnames, a family home in Tasmania and a low-key scriptwriter father has made this possible. Just like her cousin Rory on the hugely popular TV show Saturday Morning Dance, Thea loves to dance. She learns the show's routines off by heart each week, despite her mother's attempts to convince her that dentistry would be a far more fulfilling career choice. However, when Rory goes off the rails in LA, Thea's mother is suddenly left with no choice at all – Rory needs them and to LA they must go. Within forty-eight hours, Thea finds herself a long way from Tasmania and living her dream – on the road to Las Vegas with the Saturday Morning Dance team. It doesn't take long before Thea's talents are discovered and she's offered everything she's ever wanted on a plate, including the dance partner she's had a crush on forever. But, as her mother has always told her, Hollywood dreams come at a price. Thea soon realizes she will have to work out just how much she's willing to pay. And, ultimately, discover her own way to be Hartley.</i></span><br />
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes books about dancing and fame.<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Thea is from a family filled with talent. Her mother, Cassie Hartley, is an amazing actress. Rory, Thea's cousin, is famous for being on a television show all about dancing. And Thea is an aspiring dancer, but her mother doesn't want Thea to experience the troubles of being famous. Yet when Thea learns that her cousin is falling apart and possibly has a secret boyfriend, she travels to LA to be there for Rory, even though Thea's mother doesn't want Thea to be discovered.<br />
Thea doesn't understand why her mother doesn't want her to pursue her dream. All Thea wants to do is dance and let others see her dancing. When she's discovered, it's as if Thea's dream has finally come true. But she has to realize if people are exploiting her because of her family or if she's willing to defy her mother to find her own dream.<br />
I really liked this book. It wasn't your average contemporary novel. It was deep and had a meaningful message woven through it. I could imagine the events going on in the book in my head. I felt as if I was really Thea as she had to deal with wanting to experience her own dream instead of letting her mother decide for her.<br />
I felt like Thea and her situation was very relatable. Most teenagers don't have to deal with being famous, but most of them have to deal with parents deciding their futures for them. Parents usually indirectly influence their children by telling them what colleges they want their child to attend or what career they want. <u>Being Hartley </u>told the readers that it's okay to defy your parents to pursue your own dream and not one inspired by parents.<br />
What i really liked about this book was the bonds between the family members. In most YA books, the parents never hold a special role and the opinions of the parents or family never really matter. In this book, however, family is the whole point in this book. Thea's family is very important to her and she would rather give up on her own happiness rather than cause sadness for her family. I liked Thea's strength and selflessness.<br />
I found this book to be highly enjoyable. It wasn't just about humor and romance. It was about discovering how much family means to you and discovering the strength inside yourself that is nurtured by the love of your family and friends.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-42849924837272830522014-05-27T18:12:00.003-04:002014-05-27T18:12:42.209-04:00YA Books Out This Week!This one is for the books out this week.

Because to Nell, there was no difference between where she started and her adored big sister ended. They're a unit; divorce made them rely on each other early on, so when one pulls away, what is the other to do? But now, Nell's a freshman in high school and Layla is changing, secretive. And then Nell discovers why. Layla is involved with one of their teachers. And even though Nell tries to support Layla, to understand that she's happy and in love, Nell struggles with her true feelings: it's wrong, and she must do something about it.</span><br />

But after meeting the beautiful and brazen Tegan Oglietti, his world was turned upside down. Tegan's no ordinary girl - she died in 2027, only to be frozen and brought back to life in Abdi's time, 100 years later.</span><br />

Especially since the two just spilled the secrets behind Australia's cryonics project to the world. On the run, Abdi and Tegan have no idea who they can trust, and when they uncover startling new details about Project Ark, they realise thousands of lives may be in their hands.</span><br />

<u>One Man Guy </u>by Michael Barakiva<br />
<strong><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">Funny and heartfelt, One Man Guy serves up the raucous family humor and gentle romance of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, as told with David Sedaris–style wit</span></strong><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #181818; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/19.31px Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Alek Khederian should have guessed something was wrong when his parents took him to a restaurant. Everyone knows that Armenians never eat out. Between bouts of interrogating the waitress and criticizing the menu, Alek’s parents announce that he’ll be attending summer school in order to bring up his grades. Alek is sure this experience will be the perfect hellish end to his hellish freshman year of high school. He never could’ve predicted that he’d meet someone like Ethan.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/19.31px Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />

He can’t believe a guy this cool wants to be his friend. And before long, it seems like Ethan wants to be more than friends. Alek has never thought about having a boyfriend—he’s barely ever had a girlfriend—but maybe it’s time to think again.</span><br />

They should pick themselves up, continue on their way, and never talk to each other again.</span><br />

A story of those moments when we act like people we aren't in order to figure out who we are. A story of the roles we all play-at school, at home, with our friends, and without our friends-and the one person who might show us what lies underneath it all.</span><br />

<u>The Castle Behind Thorns </u>by Merrie Haskell<br />
<strong><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia;">A magical adventure set in an enchanted castle that is sure to appeal to fans of Gail Carson Levine, Karen Cushman, and Shannon Hale</span></strong><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #181818; display: inline !important; float: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/19.31px Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">When Sand wakes up alone in a long-abandoned castle, he has no idea how he got there. The stories all said the place was ruined by an earthquake, and Sand did not expect to find everything inside-from dishes to candles to apples-torn in half or slashed to bits. Nothing lives here and nothing grows, except the vicious, thorny bramble that prevents Sand from leaving. Why wasn't this in the stories?</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/19.31px Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />

But the things he fixes work somehow better than they ought to. Is there magic in the mending, granted by the saints who once guarded this place?</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px/19.31px Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />

Putting together the pieces-of stone and iron, and of a broken life-is harder than Sand ever imagined, but it's the only way to gain their freedom, even with the help of the guardian saints.</span><br />

But when a fire demon attacks Paige in detention, she has to admit that things have gotten out of her league. Luckily, the cute new boy in school, Logan Bradley, is a practiced demon slayer-and he isn't fazed by Paige's propensity to chat with the dead. Suddenly, Paige is smack in the middle of a centuries-old battle between warlocks and demons, learning to fight with a magic sword so that she can defend herself. And if she makes one wrong move, she'll be pulled into the Dark World, an alternate version of our world that's overrun by demons-and she might never make it home.</span><br />

Not only is he the sweetest boy she's ever met, but he's an incredibly talented guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

But Daphne’s Greyhound bus pulls over in downtown Carbon County and it’s not silence that welcomes her. It’s the sound of trumpets.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Daphne’s desire to start again in simple country comfort is instantly dashed as the townsfolk declare that the End Times are here. And incredible occurrences soon support their belief. Daphne does all she can to keep her head down and ignore the signs. She works a job at the local oil rig, helps around the house, hangs out with her pregnant cousin Janie and gets to know Owen, a mysterious motocross racer and fellow roustabout at the rig. But soon a startling discovery shatters her resolve and calls into question all her doubts and fears.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Daphne landed in Carbon County for a reason.

As a vampire who's never fit in with her human family, it's the one place she can truly be herself. But when a mysterious new guy arrives at camp, Della’s whole world is thrown into turmoil. Chase is a vampire with secrets, who knows more than he’s telling. But the more time she spends with him, the more she begins to trust this attractive stranger—and feel drawn to him. But romance is the last thing she wants—as she keeps telling Steve, the hunky shapeshifter who won’t stop trying to win her heart. And if Della isn't careful, he just might succeed. When a new case puts everyone she cares about in danger, Della’s determined to do everything she can to save them . . . even if it means teaming up with Steve and Chase, who leave her more confused than ever. With their lives on the line, will Della and her friends survive—with their hearts intact?</span><br />

Well, that's all for me today. Happy reading everyone!Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-7241339612615188722014-05-17T08:59:00.001-04:002014-05-17T08:59:34.460-04:00Review on No Family Tree<br />
Do any of you remember that project you probably had to do in grade school where you have a make a family tree? You know, you research both sides of your family and try to trace back as far as you can. This lets you learn more about your family, your culture, and yourself as well.<br />
I read... <u>No Family Tree </u>by T.Katz!!!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/20710021-no-family-tree" itemprop="image" rel="nofollow"><img alt="No Family Tree" height="320" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1397683425l/20710021.jpg" width="224" /></a><br />

Format: Paperback<br />
Pub. Date: December 13th, 2013<br />
Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText15951006058987831370"><em>Tessie Tremaine is mortified when her middle school English teacher, affectionately known as Mean Old Mrs. Parker, assigns a family tree project. As the daughter of parents who were both adopted, Tessie is mortified; she imagines a postage-stamp twig showing nothing but her four immediate family members. As the rest of her classmates begin to create trees filled with many family members, Tessie agonizes over the thought of exposing what her parents call their own little family island. Desperate for help, Tessie turns to her honorary grandmother, who takes her to a rose show where she learns about the art of grafting roses. Suddenly, the family tree project takes on a whole new meaning. In this poignant young adult tale, a girl struggling to find her roots soon discovers that family is much more than who she is related to by blood.</em></span><br />
My rating: 5 out of 5 trees!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes short, cute stories!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Tessie feels as if she has the smallest family tree possible. Her parents were both adopted so Tessie can only trace back that far. She has no way of expanding her family tree before her project is due. In her English class, the class has to research family trees, but Tessie can't do it. She doesn't want to show that she has virtually no family.<br />
Tessie doesn't want to get humiliated at school. She envies the girl who has a giant family tree filled with people from all over the world. Tessie goes to her grandmother and soon Tessie learns the true meaning of family with the help of the art of grafting roses.<br />
This book was really cute. It was interesting and a short read. I enjoyed it and I love how the book came with a message everyone should know. This book is perfect for younger kids, maybe for kids in middle school, especially for people who are adopted.<br />
The book gives a lesson that family isn't just about blood. You don't have to be blood related to someone to be considered family. Your friends and people who love you are all considered to be your family. This book did a terrific job at conveying the message. <br />
I'm not adopted so I don't know what it's like to not know who your real parents are, like with Tessie's dad, but this book made me feel connected to all the characters. <br />
I loved this book as it was so sweet, humorous, and deep. I definitely want to read more from this author, especially if it's anything like <u>No Family Tree.</u>Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-52394148741706090252014-05-17T08:59:00.000-04:002014-05-17T08:59:00.478-04:00Review on Burn Out<br />
What would you do if you lived in a world where the sun burns you? And I'm not talking about a little sun burn. I'm talking about a burn that blisters, a burn that kills. We complain about the heat all the time, but if we lived in a world where you can't go outside, we'd certainly appreciate the 100 degree weather.<br />
I read... <u>Burn Out </u>by Kristi Helvig!!!<br />

Pub. Date: April 8th, 2014<br />
Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText17799092218735981949"><em>"A scorching series opener not to be missed." - Kirkus <br /><br />A futuristic blend of Beth Revis's Across the Universe and Lenore Appelhans's Level 2, Burn Out will satisfy the growing desire for science fiction with a thrilling story of survival, intrigue, and adventure. <br /><br />Most people want to save the world; seventeen-year-old Tora Reynolds just wants to get the hell off of it. One of the last survivors in Earth's final years, Tora yearns to escape the wasteland her planet has become after the sun turns "red giant," but discovers her fellow survivors are even deadlier than the hostile environment.<br /><br /><br />Holed up in an underground shelter, Tora is alone--her brilliant scientist father murdered, her mother and sister burned to death. She dreams of living on a planet with oceans, plants, and animals. Unfortunately, the oceans dried out ages ago, the only plants are giant cacti with deadly spines, and her pet, Trigger, is a gun--one of the bio-energetic weapons her father created for the government before his conscience kicked in.<br /><br />When family friend, Markus, arrives with mercenaries to take the weapons by force, Tora's fury turns to fear when government ships descend in an attempt to kill them all. She forges an unlikely alliance with Markus and his rag-tag group of raiders, including a smart but quiet soldier named James. Tora must quickly figure out who she can trust, as she must choose between saving herself by giving up the guns or honoring her father's request to save humanity from the most lethal weapons in existence.</em></span><br />
My rating: 3 out of 5 heat waves!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes dystopian novels!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Tora lives in a world where the sun escalated into a red giant much faster than anyone expected. Several people died from the extreme heat. You could either brave the heat and possibly die or you could somehow gain access to another planet, but only certain people can escape. Tora lives in an underground shelter all alone after her father was murdered and her mother and sister died. She tries to protect her arsenal of weapons, but when mercenaries come to take the weapons by force, Tora must rely on others, including Markus, to survive and she must decide if she's willing to give up her weapons.<br />
This book sounded really good and original. There are a ton of sci-fi books out, but this is the first time for me reading about the sun becoming a red giant. I thought this book would be fun and have some awesome futuristic weapons. While the book did have these weapons which made the book awesome, the characters were not that great.<br />
I didn't like Tora at all. It seemed like she was always whining in the book and could never keep her mouth shut. She's the only one who can control the weapons and no one else knows this. Tora then tells her enemy this and this makes her extremely invaluable. She just made stupid decisions throughout the whole book.<br />
Tora never accepted any help from others even when it could have saved her life. She was kinda bland and so were the other characters. I felt as if there was too much romance and lust going on in the book and not enough plot or storyline.<br />
I have so many questions about James and the others. I want to know who they're working for, why they're doing what they're doing. None of my questions were answered and it left me confused, wondering why all these characters are resorting to stealing from a teenage girl. <br />
The book did have all the aspects of a sci-fi novel and I loved them. You got the futuristic weapons, the action, the technology, and the spaceships. The book never had a slow moment. It was action packed and I couldn't put it down.<br />
Even though I didn't like the characters, I did enjoy the book and it was an okay read.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-71293798483716673402014-05-13T17:26:00.000-04:002014-05-13T17:26:14.657-04:00YA Books Out This Week!A ton of books come out this week!

Who knew living in the dorm cost money? An Ivy League education seems to mean living at home for the next four years.<br /><br />When Cricket is offered the chance to earn enough cash to afford a real college experience, she heads back to Nantucket for the summer. But the faraway island challenges Cricket in ways she hadn't anticipated.

<u>Subway Love </u>by Nora Raleigh Baskin<br />
<span id="freeText12102521562930635221"><em><strong>What if destiny leads you to your soul mate, but the laws of time conspire to keep you apart? </strong><br /><br />If her parents had never divorced, Laura wouldn’t have to live in the shadow of Bruce, her mom’s unpredictable boyfriend. Her mom wouldn’t say things like "Be groovy," and Laura wouldn’t panic every weekend on the way to Dad’s Manhattan apartment. But when Laura spots a boy on a facing platform, lifting a camera to his face, looking right at her, Laura feels anything but afraid, and she can’t forget him. Jonas, meanwhile, thinks nonstop about the pretty hippie girl he glimpsed on the platform — trying to comprehend how she vanished, but mostly wondering whether he will see her again in a city of millions — and whether if he searches, he would have any chance of finding her. In a lyrical meditation on love, Nora Raleigh Baskin explores the soul’s ability to connect, and heal, outside the bounds of time and reason.</em></span><br />

<u>The A-Word </u>by Joy Preble<br />
WARNING- SEQUEL!<br />
<span id="freeText11135668840198986168"><em>Jenna Samuels is about to turn fifteen. It's been almost a year since her stoner brother, Casey, bit the dust. Almost a year since he returned as her guardian angel, along with his "angel boss," Amber Velasco, the hot twenty-something former EMT. Almost a year since Casey and Amber used up their one-time-only angel power of flight to save Jenna from the evil Dr. Renfroe, swooping down to catch her as she tumbled off the balcony at the Houston Galleria. In short, a lot of A-word shenanigans and a mostly happy ending.<br /><br />Except now Casey's begun to wonder why he's still hanging around—not that he minds protecting Jenna. She's a handful, but there's got to be a bigger picture, right? Something to distract him from his on again/off again, doomed relationship with cheerleader Lanie Phelps, who has no idea her boyfriend is, well, dead. After all, he can't use his angel wings anymore. Neither can Amber. <br /><br />Enter Bo Shivers, Amber's "angel boss"—a mysterious A-word guy Jenna and Casey didn't even know existed. Whiskey-guzzling. Handsome in a grizzled way. Unpredictable. Okay, make that crazy. Bo lost his angel wings in an earthly flight a long, long, long time back—and he's been a thorn in Angel Management's side ever since. But Bo knows something is coming. Something big. Something that was worth forfeiting wings for Jenna... something that might just change everything for everyone.</em></span><br />

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText2922419453822386577"><em>In this poignant, realistic, contemporary YA by a state master list star, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Gayle Forman, a young songwriter builds a substitute family with her friends in place of the broken family she grew up with.<br /><br />A hip high school girl who loves music, writes songs, and is desperate for a ukelele, learns to her shock that her father did not abandon her years ago and has been trying to keep in touch. She begins to investigate him, only to discover that he has a new life with a new family, including the perfect stepdaughter, a girl who Minerva despises.</em></span><br />
My rating: 3 out of 5 songs!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes contemporary, funny books!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Minerva is a girl who just really wants to get a ukulele. She has a pretty small family, considering she doesn't even know her own father's name. Her mom never talks about her and for all of Minerva's life, she thought her father had abandoned her and left. <br />
But Minerva never let the sadness get to her. She got a job at Get Happy with her best friend, a hot new guy, and a beautiful girl that makes Minerva jealous. This job is not an ordinary fast food job. No, Minerva has to dress up like a mermaid and entertain kids at birthday parties. This allows Minerva to experience the joys of making kids happy as well experience the horrors of little kids. <br />
While dealing with her new job, Minerva discovers who her father really is and starts to investigate her father and his new family.<br />
This book was funny and light hearted, but it was still so full of emotion. While most of this book is pure fluff about Minerva's new job, it's still ripe with emotion as Minerva learns more and more about the father who might not have abandoned her after all. The characters were funny, but at times they just seemed silly and slightly idiotic.<br />
The plot wasn't very original and there were moments where there could've been some great romantic moments or tension-filled moments, but at times, the story just fell flat. Nothing shocking or interesting really happened. The father rarely appeared in the book and Minerva never really confronted him or admitted her true feelings. <br />
The book was fun though and I did enjoy it. It made me laugh at times, especially over Minerva's costume. I just feel as if the book needed some more substance, some more plot. It needed some twists to keep the reader going instead of just mainly focusing on Minerva's job. While the book was mostly fluff, I did enjoy it and it made me laugh out loud a couple of times.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-2270090090640063262014-05-10T12:24:00.002-04:002014-05-10T12:24:50.090-04:00Review on Dark Light of Day<br />
What if there are two types of magic? You could either have the power to heal or have the power to kill. If you have the power to kill, you can't even get near plants or they will wither instantly. Would you fight against your destiny or will you accept your powers and try to use them for good?<br />

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText2317425527110198446"><em>Armageddon is over. The demons won. And yet somehow…the world has continued. Survivors worship patron demons under a draconian system of tributes and rules. These laws keep the demons from warring among themselves, and the world from slipping back into chaos.<br /><br /> Noon Onyx grew up on the banks of the river Lethe, the daughter of a prominent politician, and a descendant of Lucifer’s warlords. Noon has a secret: She was born with waning magic, the dark, destructive, fiery power that is used to control demons and maintain the delicate peace among them. But a woman with waning magic is unheard of, and some would consider her an abomination.<br /><br /> Noon is summoned to attend St. Lucifer’s, a school of demon law. She must decide whether to declare her powers there…or to attempt to continue hiding them, knowing the price for doing so may be death. And once she meets the forbiddingly powerful Ari Carmine—who suspects Noon is harboring magic as deadly as his own—Noon realizes there may be more at stake than just her life.</em></span><br />
My rating: 4 out of 5 demons!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes books about demons and magic.<br />
My review:<br />
I got this book for free from a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.<br />
Noon is a part of a world where Armageddon happened and the demons won the war. Now, rules exist that separate the demons from humans and as long as the humans obey the rules, the demons will not attack each other and cause another catastrophe.<br />
Noon was expected to have waxing magic, especially because she's a female and because her mother is thought of having the greatest amount of waxing power ever. Yet Noon was born with waning power while her twin brother was born with waxing magic. Noon has the power to kill, to control demons, but she doesn't even want it.<br />
When she's forced to attend St. Lucifer's, she plans to hide her waning magic from the world, even if hiding it means certain death. However, the waning magic is seductive and there are some who want to use her powers. Ari Carmine is a holder of waning magic and he believes there's something about Noon that makes her like him. Noon's future doesn't look too bright and the murders occurring are just making her future look even more bleak.<br />
I enjoyed this book. I liked how Archer created a world so unique, so unlike anything I had ever read before. I mean, there's basically a school to teach people to be lawyers to demons. It sounds like an amazing prospect and Archer weaved this book perfectly.<br />
The storyline is fascinating and dark. Archer created a complex world that wasn't confusing or hard to understand. I could understand what was happening and the plot didn't confuse me at all. You never hear about books or movies where the evil side wins, but this book explored this concept. The demons won and the book focuses on the effects from Armageddon. <br />
I liked Noon's character. She wasn't weak and a damsel-in-distress. She tried to fight back against her destiny even with the odds stacked against her. Noon always knew she was different, knew that it would be better to accept her destiny, but she never gave in to people's wishes unless she decided to.<br />
She did, however, make quite a few stupid decisions. She never thought things through or thought of the consequences. At times, it felt like Noon kept making stupid decisions one by one, right after each other. I would have liked it if she thought more instead of just immediately acting.<br />
I definitely want to read the next book and learn even more about Noon's world and the extent of her magic.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-27191580616368230992014-05-10T09:14:00.001-04:002014-05-10T09:14:08.991-04:00Review on Best Kind of BrokenHave you had a childhood friend?

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText9797730137802646628"><strong>New Adult Romance</strong><br /><br /><em>Pixie and Levi haven't spoken in nearly a year when they find themselves working―and living―at the same inn in the middle of nowhere. Once upon a time, they were childhood friends. But that was before everything went to hell. And now things are... awkward.<br /><br />All they want to do is avoid each other, and their past, for as long as possible. But now that they're forced to share a bathroom, and therefore a shower, keeping their distance from one another becomes less difficult than keeping their hands off each other. Welcome to the hallway of awkward tension and sexual frustration, folks. Get comfy. It’s going to be a long summer.</em></span><br />
My rating: 5 out of 5 inns!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes contemporary romance!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Pixie is a nineteen year old girl who doesn't get along with her mother. To escape, she moves into an inn to work in the kitchen and she gets a free roof over her head thanks to her aunt Ellen who owns the inn. Little did Pixie know that her childhood friend that she just wants to avoid works there as well.<br />
Levi is working as a handyman at the inn and he was definitely surprised when he saw Pixie working at the inn. Suddenly, the sexual tension between bursts into life and they can't keep each other out of their minds. As secrets are revealed and feelings are explored, these two are going to have a summer they will never forget.<br />
I really liked this story! It captivated me from the start. I absolutely had to know what happened in Pixie's and Levi's past that made them want to avoid each other. This book was so good at giving tantalizing hints without actually revealing what had happened until the tension was at its absolute max. It was an amazing book and I definitely want to read it again.<br />
The characters were complex and amazing witty. I love it when characters share a love/hate relationship with each other. They were always insulting each other with witty banter, but you could actually feel the tension between them. You just wanted them to shout at each other and then the next minute, they're kissing. It was an agonizing relationship between them and I just had to keep reading to learn what would happen between them.<br />
The plot was original and was always either between sweet or heartbreaking. Levi and Pixie were so cute together, but then their sadness and guilt just tore you apart. Their past was so sad and I could actually feel the regret both Pixie and Levi felt as they both blamed each other. I was so into this book and it made me feel all these wonderful emotions.<br />
The plot was mixed perfectly with the funny secondary characters, the banter, and the sexual tension. I really enjoyed this book. There were some moments of fluff and romance, but this book was so alive and the plot was so amazing that I couldn't put it down!Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-2315807370263394772014-05-08T18:58:00.000-04:002014-05-08T18:58:38.344-04:00YA Books Out This Week!!!Sorry this is pretty delayed!

If you alone in the middle of the forest, what would you do? I would probably curl up in a ball and cry, but would you try to survive? Would you be able to hunt and find water? Most people would probably die within a week, but would you be able to survive?<br />
I read... <u>Threatened </u>by Eliot Schrefer!!!<br />

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText2263277102670885949"><em>Into the jungle. Into the wild. Into harm's way.<br /><br /><br />When he was a boy, Luc's mother would warn him about the "mock men" living in the trees by their home -- chimpanzees whose cries would fill the night.<br /><br />Luc is older now, his mother gone. He lives in a house of mistreated orphans, barely getting by. Then a man calling himself Prof comes to town with a mysterious mission. When Luc tries to rob him, the man isn't mad. Instead, he offers Luc a job.<br /><br />Together, Luc and Prof head into the rough, dangerous jungle in order to study the elusive chimpanzees. There, Luc finally finds a new family -- and must act when that family comes under attack.<br /><br />As he did in his acclaimed novel Endangered, a finalist for the National Book Award, Eliot Schrefer takes us somewhere fiction rarely goes, introducing us to characters we rarely get to meet. The unforgettable result is the story of a boy fleeing his present, a man fleeing his past, and a trio of chimpanzees who are struggling not to flee at all.</em> </span><br />
My rating: 5 out of 5 monkeys!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes books about animals!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Luc once had a mother who told him tales of chimpanzees who she called "mock men" because of their cries. Luc loved his mothers stories and he never forgot them, even when his mother died and he went to a home for orphans. Even when he was mistreated and never had enough food, Luc always remember the mock men. And when Luc meets Prof, Luc finally possesses the opportunity to meet these chimpanzees and study them.<br />
Alone in the jungle, Prof and Luc soon find themselves immersed in the wilderness. They have to survive on their own without relying on anything from the civilized world. While studying the wild chimpanzees, Luc discovers a world he never knew existed. As he learns more about chimpanzees, he finds himself becoming friends with the chimpanzees and learning what it's really like to be a mock man, just like his mother told him about. <br />
This book was beautiful. The details, the language, the imagery, they were all absolutely breathtaking. With each word Schrefer wrote, I was transported to the jungle. I felt like I was actually there, fending for myself and seeing the chimpanzees with my own eyes. I was immersed in the jungle, learning things I had never known before. One would think a book about chimpanzees would be boring, but this book was interesting and full of action.<br />
Instead of teaching the reader about chimpanzees, Schrefer weaved a story around the chimpanzees, making it an intense, action-packed read.<br />
As Luc grew in the book, but physically and mentally, I grew with him. Luc began to appreciate the chimpanzees. He began to learn what a family is like even though he didn't have one. He began to learn what love is even when your "family" isn't related by blood or is even the same species. <br />
The book wasn't predictable at all. There were always twists and turns I never expected. The events that happened in the book were shocking, but were also heart-wrenchingly true. What seemed like events that couldn't happen in real life are actually revealed to be true in the book like with how badly treated the orphans were. <br />
The descriptions are rich and vivid as the words are strong and powerful. I was transported into Luc's body and I felt as if I was Luc. I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to read more from this author so that I can be transported into a world so beautiful, so different from the one I live in.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-4955823940240544092014-05-03T08:35:00.001-04:002014-05-03T08:35:22.422-04:00Review on Darkside Sun<br />
What would you do if you lost time? Like one minute you're getting ready for a class and then the next minute it turns out six hours passed and you have no idea what happened. You didn't move or anything, but somehow six hours went by without you noticing. Isn't that terrifying? Well, that's what Addison suffered through as she has the ability to bend reality.<br />

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText12033404323367243004"><em><strong>A new adult novel from Entangled's Embrace imprint...</strong><br /><br />The dead have been waiting for her...<br /><br />Addison Beckett tries hard to pretend she’s normal, but she’s far from it. Since she was six years old, she’s seen the world around her unraveling, as if someone is pulling a thread from a sweater and it’s all slowly coming undone. When she ignores it, it goes away, so that’s what she does. <br /><br />Enter her arrogant-but-hot professor Asher Green. He knows all about her special brand of crazy. In fact, he might be just as nuts as she is. Asher insists that the dead from a parallel dimension are trying to possess the living in this one. And since Addison seems to be the only one who can see these “wraiths,” she just might be the key to saving the world. <br /><br />Addison wants nothing to do with Asher or his secret society, The Mortal Machine. But as their animosity grows, she finds it harder and harder to ignore the chemistry between them. And when she discovers that Machine laws forbid her from touching him, she realizes that’s all she wants to do. <br /><br />Stop the wraiths. Break the rules. Save the world. All in a day’s work.<br /><br />Normal was overrated, anyway.</em></span><br />
My rating: 3 out of 5 books!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes New Adult books with secret societies!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Netgalley.<br />
Addison tries to pretend she's normal even though she's the farthest thing from it. She doesn't look weird or say random things at weird times. What she does is a little weirder than that. Addison possesses the ability to alter reality. She can unravel her world to be able to see the dead from a parallel world that want to possess the bodies of the living. Of course, Addison didn't know anything about what she saw until she met her professor, Asher. Asher belongs to a society that fights against the dead, a society called the Mortal Machine.<br />
All Addison has ever wanted was to be normal and be with her dad, but when she isn't given a choice, she must cooperate if she wants to be with her father again. Addison must learn how to control her powers and avoid touching Asher even though all she wants to do is touch him.<br />
This book sounded really good, but it was a little too weird for me. It was definitely original, but I had no idea what was happening in the beginning of the book. What Addison experienced didn't give me nearly enough details to fully comprehend what was happening to her. You would think that if you suddenly lose a good half hour, you would be panicking and going to the hospital instead of rushing to a class. <br />
Addison seemed like a cliché to me. Like most female main characters, she claims she isn't that attractive even though she's totally gorgeous. She's always thinking that she isn't hot enough for a man who looks like Asher when you know every guy is lusting after her. Instead of embracing her ability which is much stronger than everyone else's, she hides herself and doesn't admit that she is different, but different in the way that she can help others with her ability. She's always fighting against her ability and she never sees that what she can do can save lives, save her family and friends. Addison never tries to accept her ability and herself as a person.<br />
The way Asher treated Addison at times seemed incredibly rude. I know he was trying to get Addison to hate him, but guys should realize that if you treat a girl cruelly, some of them will keep coming back for more. <br />
The story, especially the other dimension aka the Shift were really confusing to me. I wish the author went into more detail about it and how it works and why only a small amount of people even know about it. <br />
What I did like was how interesting and refreshing this book is. It's not one of those regular books. It makes you think and wonder what exactly is going on in the world Addison lives in. The ending was awesome and it definitely makes me want to read the next book. The combination between sci-fi and the paranormal was a perfect fit and I can't wait to read more from this author.Nikitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11491342978786626215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008549968576191760.post-66091403007123685312014-05-03T08:35:00.000-04:002014-05-03T08:35:09.455-04:00Review on Reflection PondI received this book from a giveaway on Goodreads and since I'm a nice person, I'm gonna write a review on it. So, here we go!<br />
I received and read... <u>Reflection Pond </u>by Kacey Vanderkarr<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/20743686-reflection-pond" itemprop="image" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Reflection Pond (Reflection Pond, #1)" height="320" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1393700705l/20743686.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

Summary:<br />
<span id="freeText14536397318819675688"><em>Sometimes you find home, sometimes it comes looking for you.<br /><br />Callie knows a lot more about pain than she does about family. She’s never belonged, at least, not until she falls through a portal into her true home. The beautiful faerie city of Eirensae doesn’t come free. Callie must find her amulet and bind herself to the city, and most importantly, avoid the Fallen fae who seek her life. Seems like a small price to pay for the family she’s always wanted.<br /><br />Then she meets cynical and gorgeous Rowan, who reads the darkness of her past in her eyes. He becomes Callie’s part-time protector and full-time pain in the ass. He has secrets of his own for Callie to unravel. What they don’t know is that the future of Eirensae lies with them, and the once peaceful city is about to become a battleground for power.</em></span><br />
My rating: 4 out of 5 faeries!<br />
My recommendation: Anyone who likes books about faeries!<br />
My review:<br />
My copy was provided by Goodreads.<br />
Callie never felt as if she belonged. She moved from foster family to foster family, never really fitting in or never really knowing who she is. But when she falls into a pond that is actually a portal to a whole new world, Callie learns who she really is.<br />
Callie is transported to the faerie city called Eirensae. Callie learns she's actually a faerie and she even has a sister. But the price to her new home is grave as she must find an amulet every faerie must search for and avoid the Fallen who want to kill Callie because of her powers. On her side, Callie has her sister, Ash, and her protector, Rowan who is a major pain. Callie must find her amulet before the Fallen find her and before civil war breaks out in the city of Eirensae.<br />
This book was definitely original. The falling-into-a-pond-that-is-actually-a-portal was definitely new and so was the different take on faeries. In most books, faeries look like humans except for having wings and pointed ears, but in this book, there are different clans of faeries and each faerie looks drastically different like some of them are blue. The new insight to fae folklore was different and I enjoyed it a lot. There was so much I wanted to learn and while the book didn't reveal all the history of the faeries, it did leave me with questions I hope the next book will answer.<br />
I could not put this book down. <u>Reflection Pond </u>didn't have the high school drama most YA books have. There wasn't a mean girl or jocks that create a major problem for Callie. The book wasn't a cliché that so many books are nowadays. The fantasy in the book really made it come alive and awakened the mind. I had to stretch my imagination to understand what was going on. While some parts were a bit confusing, the explanations made the book easier to understand.<br />
The complex love triangle wasn't stupid and cliché. Callie didn't agonize over who she loved during the whole book. The main focus was Callie learning how to use her powers and how she could become stronger. The romance was only a small part in the book, but it was definitely strong. I loved the chemistry between Callie and Rowan. It really came alive and I could just feel the sexual tension between the two. Their witty banter was cute and made the relationship seem more real. And Rowan wasn't this perfect bad boy. He had his own fears and problems, his own complex past. He certainly wasn't perfect, but neither was Callie.<br />
There were some slow parts in the book and there was this one problem I didn't get. There were no mention of the parents of any of the fae and I would think that since Callie never knew her real parents, she would want to look for them and learn more about them.

In the summer before her senior year, in between meetings with lawyers and a court-recommended therapist, Sara is forced to reflect on the events that brought her to this moment—and ultimately consider her own role in an undeniable tragedy. And she'll have to find a way to move forward, even when it feels like her own life is over.<br /><br />With its powerful narrative, unconventional point of view, and strong anti-bullying theme, this coming-of-age story offers smart, insightful, and nuanced views on high school society, toxic friendships, and family relationships.<br /><br />Supports the Common Core State Standards.</em></span><br />

For a girl who’s grown used to receiving applause for her dance prowess and flexibility, adjusting to a prosthetic leg is painful and humbling. But Veda refuses to let her disability rob her of her dreams, and she starts all over again, taking beginner classes with the youngest dancers. Then Veda meets Govinda, a young man who approaches dance as a spiritual pursuit. As their relationship deepens, Veda reconnects with the world around her, and begins to discover who she is and what dance truly means to her.</em></span><br />
