Review: WinterTown by Stephen Emond

Hey guys :) Today I am reviewing a book called WinterTown by Stephen Emond that mixes pictures and words to make an awesome story. I hope you love it as much as I did.

Every winter, straight-laced, Ivy League bound Evan looks forward to a visit from Lucy, a childhood pal who moved away after her parent's divorce. But when Lucy arrives this year, she's changed. The former "girl next door" now has chopped dyed black hair, a nose stud, and a scowl. But Evan knows that somewhere beneath the Goth, "Old Lucy" still exists, and he's determined to find her... even if it means pissing her off.
This book was AMAZING!!!! This book combines two things every bookworm loves.....pictures and an awesome plot. It took me all of one day to read the book.  I think the pictures really help bring out the vision that forms in your head whenever you read.  They just add an awesome touch to the story line. The storyline is great also. It reminds me of a movie........I can't think of the name *tell me in the comments if you know what I'm talking about*. Anyway....I love the sort of low key romance between Evan and Lucy.  It's not to heavy and it's not to light.....just right :). There are alot of surprising things that happen in this book that you will have to read to find out. So hop by your local book store and buy this book!!! You will love it :).

Review: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out how he made the list.


This is a really good heartfelt sad story.  This book is really emotional.  The book is filled with different stories from Hannah Baker's life that lead up to her suicide.  The stories are all heartbreaking.  We get to see Clay's reaction to her suicide and the stories as he walks through the town listening to the tapes.  We also get to see how it affects the people who are on the tapes throughout the book.  The end was alittle confusing to me but overall, this was a really great book!  The moral of the story is becareful what you say and do to people because you never know how they might be taking it.

MY RATING:

WoW: Waiting on Wednesday

Hi! I've started doing WoW which is hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine.  All you have to do is tell us what book you are looking forward to come out and tell us alittle bit about it! :)

My choice was Deadly Little Voices which is part of the Touch series by Laurie Stolarz. Here's what it's about:

High school junior Camelia thought her powers of psychometry only gave her the ability to sense the future through touch. But now she’s started to hear voices. Mean voices. Berating her, telling her how ugly she is, and that she’d be better off dead. It’s a troubling development that has Camelia terrified for her mental stability, especially since her deranged aunt with a suicidal history has just moved into the family house. More torturing, ex-boyfriend Ben, who has similar psychometric abilities, has been spending more time with their classmate Alejandra.


With the line between right and wrong fraying, Camelia turns to pottery to get a grasp on her emotions. She begins sculpting a beautiful figure skater, only to receive frightening premonitions that someone’s in danger. But who is the victim? And how can Camelia help them when she is on the brink of losing her own sanity?

The Pulse Experience Tour Stop: Giveaway


Hey!!! Today I have for you a giveaway of The Dark Age by Jeff Horton!!! His book is currently on tour with The Experience Tours!!  Here's a synopsis:

The Dark Age Survivors of the Pulse
Suppose you learned that an ancient prophecy about an artifact, said to be powerful enough to dramatically change the world, was true. Would you risk everything to find it?


It has been five-hundred years since the Pulse caused the Great Collapse, ending the Golden Age, and civilization on planet Earth. Humanity has waited ever since for a long-anticipated sign from God, which has finally appeared in the night sky. The time has come for Ferrell Young, the Warrior Clan, and the Church to risk everything in an effort to restore civilization, and bring hope to a world full of despair. Alex Montgomery is an archaeologist who has spent many years looking for a mysterious book on behalf of the Holy Christian Church. The book is said to contain the location of the Great Oracle which, according to legend, can endow the one who finds it with great power and wealth. Of much greater importance to the Clan and the Church however, is the fact that it may also enable the world to emerge from five centuries of darkness and suffering. When a powerful, intelligent, but sadistic barbarian leader named Kraken learns of the Oracle, he plans to destroy the Warrior Clan and the Church, take the Oracle for himself, and enslave the rest of humanity. Join Ferrell and his companions as they set out on a desperate journey to find the Great Oracle, and rescue humanity from The Dark Age.
The giveaway will last to October 22!  To enter just leave your email in the comments below! :) Good luck!

ARC Review: Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday

Hey I have another review for you guys today!!!!! Today I will tell you about a great book called Deadly Cool, which is actually going to be a series.   This book comes out October 11, 2011! Here's the synopsis:

First I find out that my boyfriend is cheating on me. Then he’s pegged as the #1 suspect in a murder. And now he’s depending on me to clear his name. Seriously? As much as I wouldn’t mind watching him squirm, I know that he’s innocent. So I’m brushing off my previously untapped detective skills and getting down to business. But I keep tripping over dead bodies and I’m still no closer to figuring out who did it. And what’s worse: all signs seem to point to me as the killer’s next victim. I really need to pick a better boyfriend next time.
This was a great mystery book!!  I am a huge fan of mystery books and this certaintly does mystery books justice.  First of all the mystery itself was really good. I had no idea who the killer was and it's certaintly a surprise when you find out.  Every chapter keeps you wanting more and more to find out whodunit.  I also love the relationships between all the characters and I think it kept the book feeling like a teenage book.  The plot, charcters, and overall book was great!  I can't wait to read more from Gemma Halliday.  I also absolutely LOVE the cover!!!! :) PS: Be on the lookout for the second book Social Suicide!

Determined to sweep local newspaper reporter, Chelsea Pressman, off her feet, he tries to wow her with his internet success. Chelsea has one goal, making it big as a reporter. Unfortunately the editor isn’t tossing any good stories her way. But her luck changes and she is first in line to cover a string of bizarre crimes. The notoriety she’s gaining from the front-page stories is addictive. The police finally trace the crimes to a common link – inkBLOT. Now, Ronnie has to clear his name as the number one suspect in Chelsea’s headline crimes.
Well, I love mystery and suspense books so this is def one of my favorite books! I have never read a mystery book quite like this one.....it's very unique and I love it!  I mean this book is so devious and sneaky ;).  So to start off I want to say that I love the sprinkle of romance between Ronnie and Chelsea, it really did a good job of diverting the reader away from having any sort of suspicions.  I also loved the hinted the underlying relationship with Ronnie and his BFF :).  That turned out to be really cute.  But, back to the mystery, I had no clue who to suspect while reading this book until of course the end.   This is a very well written suspense/mystery novel with tons of twists of turns.  I also loved how they made detail matter.  You'll come towards the end of the book when everything is wrapping up and you'll be like, "Oh yeahhhh, it all makes sense now :)".  This is def one of my mystery books so far! :)

RATING:

Guardian of Souls Tour Stop (Review & Giveaway!)

Hey guys! I am the last stop in the Guardian of Souls book tour and today I have for you a review plus a giveaway! So stay tuned :). Here's the synopsis:

Liv, Laith, Brayan and Meena are back with a mission and a militia for justice. The four human Oracles join forces with their spirit counter parts in Arcadia to form The Guardians of Souls. Shy has fled to Los Angeles to escape the consequences of Melissa and Jesse’s deaths and Hala, the Great Spirit, has reason to believe he is not alone. Neither the Spirits in Arcadia or the NYPD in New York City has turned up any trace of Shy since his disappearance after the tragic events played out on Valentine’s Day. Liv and her companions of spirit find themselves torn between the human world and Arcadia once more. Their duty as human Oracles continuously interferes and threatens the stability and safety of their friendships and romantic lives.
Get ready for all hell to break loose as Liv and her friends set out on a quest to hunt down Shy and finish him for good. This time the Spirit World means business when they find Shy playing up to his usual tricks. The odds are against Shy this time around but this may not pan out to be such a lucky break for the human Oracles. Could it be that Shy isn’t their worst enemy after all? Is Earth once again safe from the perils of Daevas and Aengels? Are Liv’s human friends safe or will they be baited and harmed again? Only the Spirits know…

This book was just as amazing as the first one, Soul Quest!!!!  This sequel to the first book in the trilogy picks up right where Soul Quest left off.  This time they are faced with even tougher challenges and you'll just have to read it to see if they prevail :).  I love all of the characters in this book! I really love the relationship between Liv and Jed, it's just sooo super cute, even though they've had a few rough patches.  Another thing I loved was the strong bond between Liv and the other Oracles.  They are just so close and you can literally feel the emotion passed between them, it's just so well written!  I love the romance, but I also loved all of the adventure and action in this book!  I don't want to spoil anything so you just have to experience the awesomeness yourself! :).  So, go pick this up and give it a read.  The links will be down there as usual.

RATING:

Review: Severance by Shawn Kirsten Maravel

Hey guys! Today, I have a review of Severance by Shawn Kirsten Maravel. So, here's the synopsis:

Severance is the bone-chilling, adrenaline-filled sequel to Volition. Charlotte finds herself hoping against reason that her life couldn't really have taken the devastating turn that it has. With Joel still dangerously out of the picture, and no signs that he may ever come back, she finds herself up against an even more dangerous threat. A sexy and cunning threat that is bound to tear what she has always known to be her reality down for good. When things finally start to look up, another curve-ball is thrown her way, promising to give her what she'd hoped for since meeting Joel, an answer it seems that came a little too late. What Charlotte thought she'd once known to be the truth filters through her fingers, leaving her to believe that her world and the afterworld are much more tangled than she'd originally expected. She comes to find that love and lust are no longer the sole deciders of her fate, but revenge. A lifetime of secrets unfold and Charlotte discovers that Joel hasn't been the only one watching over her all of these years.
This book was just as great as the first book, Volition, jam packed full with action, suspense, and romance.  The beginning really had me teetering on edge because I had no idea what would happen.  There were so many surprises in this book it definitely keeps you on your toes and wanting more.  The romance is still very very romantic.  Tension definitely builds up more in this second book and makes the books all the more great!  This is definitely a must read and you go buy it right now. 5 stars!!!!

Review: Volition by Shawn Kirsten Maravel

Hey guys! I this book is super AWESOME! If you liked Crossroads by Mary Ting then you'll love this book also! :D Here's the synopsis:
Charlotte Rush would be the first to admit that her life is no rollercoaster ride. Her days are laced with ordinary and at times boring monotony. But with a heart that finds itself frequently broken she’s happy to say that she’s content. When her friends convince her to spend the night out at a club to let loose and maybe even find a guy, she finally admits that her life might be missing something. No sooner does she let go of her inhibitions does she find herself waking up in a dark hotel room in the presence of Joel, a man who carries mystery in his eyes and familiarity in his smile. Against reason Charlotte decides to trust him based solely on one thing. Somehow, she is sure that she knows him. In a race against time to find answers and to solve the crime committed against her Charlotte finds herself falling for him. However, with nothing but mystery surrounding him she can’t even be sure that he’s the hero at all. While knowing all of the right things to say he still manages to tell her nothing. As a battle is waged over the innocence of her cryptic stranger, Charlotte discovers that much greater danger awaits her. And the mysteries behind who and what Joel is will lead Charlotte to discover that heaven and earth are not so far apart.
First off, I just wanted to say that this book is AWESOME!!!!  I love every part of it.  The romance, the action, and def the unexpected surprises.  This books picks up right at the start.  I love the relationship between Charlotte and Joel, it's so cute.  Joel has to be the BEST boyfriend EVER! :D He's always so sweet and considerate.  For some reason I just love forbidden romances because it just makes the books all the more romantic and interesting.  All thoughout this book are twists and turns and ups and downs that keep you always wanting more.  This book def has some surprising events happen.  My favorite part has to be the very end, like the last two pages,  because it was so surprising and it totally caught me off guard and made me want to read the second book to find out more and what happens.  All I can say is, go buy this book right now!!! :D  5 stars for sure! Be sure to check back in for my review of Severance, the second book, since I just started my One Book A Day Challenge yesterday :).

Format: PDF
Publication Date: May 27, 2011

The Raie'Chaelia


When Chalice sets off for Branbury in the middle of the night with her grandfather's instructions, she has no idea of the dangers that await her. The King's men have destroyed her home village of Canton and she is suddenly thrown into a Terravailian world that she does not know. Lost and alone, she is hard pressed to evade the iron grasp of the madman who rules the land. With the help of a friendly Chinuk, an old man, and a book that she discovers along the way, not only does she find true friends and true love, but she also finds her true self and what it means to be the Raie'Chaelia.

I really like this book! If you love adventure books and romance books this is the story for you!!! First off, the romance between Jeremiah and Chalice is super cute!  They are really such a good couple. I like how after all the time that hadn't seen each other they still had feelings for each other.  I also loved Buney! He's so cute, he reminds me of a little stuffed animal.  As for the adventure, this book is full of it! There are many twists and turns throughout the book that always keeps you wanting more.  This is an adventure that will definitely keep you reading with alittle romance thrown into the mix also.  I can seriously see this as a movie and I hope there's a sequel.

Review: Crossroads by Mary Ting

Hey guys! Today I have for you a review of Crossroads by Mary Ting! This was a great book and I can't wait to tell you all about it :D Here's the synopsis:

Format: Paperback
Publication Date: July 27, 2011


 
Claudia Emerson has a good friend who shares the same first name and last name. That friend unfortunately dies in a tragic accident during homecoming dance. Claudia is distraught at the loss of her friend, but is even more disturbed by her dreams, which seem to take her to another place called Crossroads. Unknown to her, Crossroads is like a second heaven, a place between heaven and earth. It is where the souls of humans in comas or near death experiences may wander. Where, Claudia meets Michael, a nephilim, a half angel, half human, whom she often meets in her dreams. It turns out that this isn’t her first visit to Crossroads, which is an enigma for no human can ever travel there until Claudia. Now the fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special and it is up to Michael and the other nephilims to protect her. Her dream becomes a nightmare as more secrets are revealed, about who she really is, and the true identities of the people she loves most. Can Michael fight his growing feelings for Claudia and protect her as a guardian angel should? The answer awaits you! Follow the exciting path to Crossroads!
  Crossroads is a book about star-crossed lovers and is filled with romance and action.  This book reminds me alot of the Twilight series except instead of vampires it angels :). This is a great read! I love the romance between Michael and Claudia. I love how he always want to be with her and protect her...so sweet.  The scences with Michael and Claudia make me feel all tingly inside! :D.  I also all the action scences and how this new surprise pops up every few chapters that you won't have expected at all.  So, this book will definitely keep you wanting more even after the books ends.  I also love the closeness of Claudia and her mom. I think it's really really sweet.  The beginning is pretty sad but it definitely picks up and changes towards the middle.  All in all, you should definitely read it and be on the lookout for book 2!! :D
