Shattered (The Secret Life of Trystan Scott #4) by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:
After Mari's attempt to help Trystan goes horribly wrong they are both forced to deal with the consequences.
















My Review:
Shattered picked up literally right where Riptide left off. Mari is left standing outside Trystan's door after his dad tackled him. She does the brave thing and goes into the house. Things unfold in a terrible way and someone almost dies! I know right! Things for Mari and Trystan change after that. There is some serious guilt  on Trystan's side of things. It was because of him that all that happened to Mari. But, Mari stands tall. She is one heck of a girl. She is able to withstand a lot. Especially, after what happens and from her parents. Her parents are pretty much terrible. I have a hard time liking them even a little bit. Her and Trystan are soul mates. Seriously....They fit each other so well. They are each other's rock. That light at in the dark that keeps them going. It really is the perfect love story. Things take another turn at the very end of the books. Things are forever going to change and I don't know how it will turn out for them. I desperately want them to be together!!!

Trystan is the silent hero. He puts on an amazing show for the world even when something horrific happens to him. The guy has been through enough. I really hope his luck changes. He truly cares about Mari. His feelings are so well written it's like your really inside his head. Just perfect. Trystan is in need of a new life. As long as Mari's in it I don't think it would matter if they lived in a box or a mansion. True love!

I LOVE this series! If you haven't read it yet then now is the time!! Get all the novella's and catch up!

Off Sides by Sawyer Bennett

Goodreads Summary:
“I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...”

Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university’s hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family’s public image.

Forced her to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success.

With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way. A lot can happen in just ten short days...

My Review:
Well as you all know I am a hockey NUT! So books with hockey in them are kind of a given. The author asked if I'd review Off Sides and I was like um yes! I read this book in 2 days. I really got into it. I loved the way it went between Danny and Ryan's point of view. I really like books that do that. We get to know more about each of the characters. Ryan is the rich jock who has rich friends. Some of them are decent and some are your typical snobby rich kids. Ryan meets Danny when he and his friends go to the diner she works at. She's not  your typical match for Ryan. She has purple tipped hair and facial piercings but, Ryan is instantly attracted to her. Things for Ryan and Danny get off to a rough start. They work through some of it but, lets face it they are from different social crowds and this leads to some awkward moments. Danny seems like a genuinely great person. I felt bad for her during certain points. When Angeline talked to her and Ryan's Mom. Just awful. I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it. 

Ryan changed through this book. I think Danny changes him. For the better of course. He has been a victim of his own family his whole life. Danny helps free him from that. Ryan's family is all about impressions. They care so much about what other people think of them that it seriously wrecks them. His Mom is a piece of work. He turns out to be a pretty awesome guy. Oh yea, and he's the captain of the college hockey team. Which is huge!! Well in my eyes anyway. His parents never really wanted him to pursue that dream. They want him to be a lawyer. Danny helps his see that his dreams matter. Danny has some secrets of her own and has her own family stuff too. They are kind of perfect for each other. However, something tears them apart. Ryan is in trouble with the law and Danny does whats necessary to save him. Will it mean the end of their relationship?? Of each others dreams?

I really enjoyed this story and if you like romance/hot guys/hockey then this books is for you.

Title: The Fiery Heart

Author: Richelle Mead

Release Date: November 19, 2013

Series Number: 4

Goodreads Summary:

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .

But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.

Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

My Thoughts:

I have liked everything I have read by Richelle Mead. Bloodlines turned out to be an amazign series. I loved The Indigo Spell and I can't wait to see what is going to happen in book 4. Have any of you read this series yet? What do you think? I also love this cover!

Book 1 Info

Goodreads Summary:

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.

My Thoughts

I haven't read the fist book yet because it's not out yet! But, I love this cover for book 2! I'm so excited for this series. The first book The Collector comes out April 2, 2013! Yay!

Wait for You by J.Lynn (Jennifer Armentrout)

Goodreads Summary:
Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

My Review:
Wait for You is considered a New Adult book. I have to say I am loving this new genre. Avery has had a very difficult past. She ran from her family and her past to college in West Virginia. She is pretty reserved and it takes a little bit to make friends. On her first day she literally runs into Cam. After that she sees him everywhere and he happens to live across the hall from her too. These two have a hard time starting a relationship. Both of them have big secrets and aren't willing to share them for a while. This isn't your typical girl meets hot cocky guy and falls in insta love with him. These guys grow a relationship and it's not easy. I loved all the characters in this book. They were well developed and very enjoyable.The story contains some very mature topics like suicide and sexual assault. I thought the way that was in there was written very well. It can be something hard to write about.

Cam was just plain awesome. The hot cocky/confident guy. His personality was so different from Avery's but, they really clicked. I loved Raphael as well. He was just the all around perfect guy. The reformed womanizer. He knew when to push and when to back off. Always so confident in the way he was. I really liked him. One of my favorite characters. I really wonder what went on in his head sometimes. His family was awesome too! Again they were very different from Avery's uptight parents. He had is trouble in the past too but, had worked through it and it made him a better person. I think he did that for Avery and really did change her life. 

There were some times when I was frustrated with Avery. I wanted her to just sit and talk with Cam! To tell him what happened to her when she was 14. I figured it out, kind of, pretty quickly. But, when you think about it more it is something extremely hard to talk about. Especially when it went down the way it did with her family and friends. So I would get frustrated then think about it and I would have probably done the same thing. 

I have loved J. Lynn's adult and New Adult books and I am anxiously awaiting more of those books! This one kept me up late at night and I loved every minute of it. 

ARC review of The Arrangement #4 by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:

Avery finds out too late that her heart isn’t cut out to be a call girl. She’s too attracted to Sean. Avery doesn’t just want Sean’s body, she wants his heart. When he sent her away, Avery was devastated. Trying to pick up the pieces is hard, especially since she can’t get another job. 

Caught in an impossible position with her employer, everything hinges on making this next client happy, but things don’t go as they should. To make matters worse, Sean shows up at the worst time. Avery dreams of a chance to start over, to erase Sean from her life forever and leave her old life behind. But, it’s beginning to look more and more like just a dream.

Genre: New Adult Romance
This story unfolds over multiple volumes approx. 20,000 words each.
~The Arrangement Vol 1, 2, 3 & 4 are on sale now.~

My Review:
This series just keeps getting better and better. Avery is on the outs with Sean because he basically returned her when Avery told him she loved him. So she did what any normal woman would do and threw a pile of cash at him and walked out. The bad thing is Black wants her money back and Avery doesn't have it obviously. So Black has an idea. Avery must pay her back by working and it will take a while. She has also signed her preference sheet to do anything! Things for Avery don't really get better. She is worried about what she is going to have to do. She keeps running into Sean at very inopportune times. She keeps running from him. She can't face him. This leads to a very  bad thing. 

I feel so bad for Avery. I know I have said that before but, seriously. Can't anything go right for her? I thought she was at the end of her rope in the last volume but, it's even worse now. Now she is in debt to Black. And if she doesn't pay her back the penalty will be severe. Ugh! I have to know how this is all going to end!

I have no idea what to think about Sean. Sometimes he's super sweet and the next time he's a major butt. I know Avery discovered one of his secrets and maybe he just can't handle it. I think he does regret what he did to her though as you will figure out as you read Vol. 4. I still like Sean and I hope he pulls his head out of his behind. 

The ending left me shocked. I finished it at work and literally cursed out loud when I read the end. Luckily I was alone. I really hope that Volume 5 comes out soon because that was the biggest cliffhanger EVER! It really seems like everything is against Sean and Avery. It's like fate is against them. I hope a miracle happens.  That's all I'm going to say.

Title: The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden Series)

Author: Julie Kagawa

Series Number: 2

Release Date: April 23, 2013

Goodreads Summary: 

Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.

My Thoughts:

The first book in this series was The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) and I loved it! I have been really excited for the second book to get released. The summary is short but, it still sounds amazing! I'm super glad that it's in April which isn't to far away. This is the only series I have read by Julie Kagawa. I'm undecided if I am going to read the others. Have any of you read this series yet? Did you like it if you did?

Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Goodreads Summary:

tick

tick

tick

tick

tick

it's almost

time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

My Review:
I was worried about picking this book up because I didn't think I'd be able to stop reading it....aaaand I was right! I started it and couldn't put it down. I was so sucked into Juliette's life and her struggles that I felt like I really got to know her better in Unravel Me. She is trying to adjust to living at Omega Point. She is surrounded by people who are afraid of her and she feels more alone then ever. She has Adam but, something bad happens and their relationship is in jeopardy. Not only that but, Warner's boys are doing extra patrols and after they find out what the Omega Point crew is capable of they threaten innocents and a war is coming. We also get to learn more about Adam and Warner's gifts. They are pretty awesome if I do say so myself. We also find out some crazy things about Adam's family...I never saw them coming that's for sure. Juliette's world is about to change in a huge way. Can she handle it? Will her gift end up tearing her apart? Will her and Adam make it?

I was a HUGE Adam fan in Shatter Me and even after Destroy Me. I felt that their relationship was a little rushed but, I loved them together. After Unravel Me I have completely switched my team. I am 100% Warner now. I have never done a 180 like that on guys in a book. I feel like Warner hates himself so much and has given up on himself. He really has nothing. He is a broken man. Juliette is so conflicted about how she feels about him. She no longer hates him. I don't blame her. He was sculpted by his life and his father to be the man he is now. There's nothing he can do to change that. Ugh, I just love him. He is like the bad boy lost cause that has no one and nothing except his love for Juliette. Love may not be strong enough to describe it. Devotion maybe. I am really hoping Juliette will end up with him!

I had been looking forward to Unravel Me for what seems like forever. I am hooked. I need to know what is going to happen with Juliette. The writing style is so unique and I love it! I can't wait for book 3. It suppose to come out this Fall and it can't come soon enough. If you haven't read this series yet then you MUST!

ARC of Submerged by Nicole Sobon

Goodreads Summary:

After a mysterious virus makes its way into the United States, the government demands that states seal themselves off from one another and do their best to protect their surviving residents. When the state of Florida is bordered off from the surrounding states, Taylen Fincher, a seventeen-year-old girl with a yearning for her former life finds herself wondering how much of what they’ve been told is true.

When Troum took control of the state, he told the residents that the other states had fallen to the virus and that he wouldn’t allow the same thing to happen to them. But Taylen doesn’t believe it. She insists that there is still life outside of the state, and she is going to do whatever it takes to prove it… but her actions will cost her more than she ever expected.

Troum kidnaps Taylen’s sister, Penelope, in hopes of coaxing her into behaving – into being a submissive resident, much like the others. But Taylen isn’t one to give in that easily.

Eager to rescue her sister, Taylen will set out on an adventure that’ll force her to open her heart to the unexpected and to uncover secrets that will change everything.

SUBMERGED is the first book in a YA dystopian duology.

My Review:
I was given an ARC copy of this book. I absolutely loooove the cover! It is so awesome. I am drawn to awesome covers, what can I say. Being a nurse, whenever something is about a virus that kills most of mankind I am instantly drawn in. Taylen is left in a "city" in the aftermath of the virus. The city is divided into sectors. Taylen is lucky enough to live in the family sector. Which is not great but, it's better then the Widowed and Homeless sectors. She is a fiery red head who doesn't like to follow their leader, Troum's, rules. This gets her family in a lot of trouble. They take her sister from her to get her away from her bad influence. Taylen tries to get her sister back and then ends up getting a kill order placed on her. She escapes the Family sector and is forced to hide and run from everything she knows. Luckily she has help from a lovely guy named Glate. Taylen is on a run for her life and trying to rescue her sister. She ends up trusting people that she shouldn't and it ends up turning out badly for her. Taylen is running for her life and she can trust no one. Will she be able to rescue her sister? Will this mysterious flood ever happen? 

Glate is your all around super helpful hot guy. He runs into Taylen when she is attempting to escape. He has been through the sectors before and has insider knowledge of how to manage through the sectors. He is very helpful given Taylen's situation. They soon develop some feelings for each other! I know there always has to be some romance in high stress situations. When it doubt make out! Anyway, they have a few stolen moments with each other. It fit the story well and I love Glate. There is also another potential love interest, Lex. He is Taylen's childhood friend. He also helps Taylen escape and throughout the story however, there are other events taking on behind the scenes with him that Taylen doesn't know about. I felt so bad for her. It seems like everyone around her was keeping something from her. That she couldn't really trust anyone. Even though she was surrounded by people but, not really knowing who you can trust. 

This story was full of ups and downs. There was a lot of action and enough going on in the plot to keep you interested. I am excited to see what happens next with this one! I am also a little attached to Glate and am hoping we get to see more of him!
