Unknown series - Wendy Higgins

Published Date: August 8, 2016

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Amber Tate believes the worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.

When an unknown organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never have.

In this first installment of NY Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins’s debut New Adult series, a frighteningly realistic apocalyptic America is brought to life, entwined with searing romantic tension that will leave you eager for more.

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Being on the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.

Survival takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger, insecurities...lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and Remy can't escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even stronger in the darkest of times.

In the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding out the enemy's identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed terrifying dangers they never thought possible.

Published Date: December 5, 2017

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins, brings you the gripping, sensual conclusion to her apocalyptic trilogy.

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen, marred by one ugly fact; it’s under enemy control. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been captured, and it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the only precious person she has left and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.

Anything Wendy Higgins makes me fall in love with books again. Which is why when I got offered the opportunity to read her newest series, Unknown, I took it. 

I am so glad I took the chance because Amber Tate (Pepper) and Rylen Fite are my new favorite book couple... Granted my favorite book couples is probably a hundred by now. I feel as though I grew up right next to Amber, Remy, Rylen, and Tater. They have wormed their way into my hearts just as the aliens did. 

Conspiracy theories should not be theories. I believe in them and so that means they shouldn't be considered theories. I loved the series because they brought to life the Paranormal world I wished existed. Minus the creepy characters and the aliens. But I kind of fell in love with one of the aliens as what they did was just pure sexy. 

That should feel so wrong but it doesn't. 

Thank the heavens for Wendy Higgins for bringing to life some of the sexiest books yet making it seem so wrong to think that. I love her books and if you are a paranormal fan as I am with a few hints of romance, this is the series for you to try.

Trust me on this and you won't regret it.

Rescued by Tordin - Mychal Daniels (Olodian Alien Warrior #1)

Published Date: September 9, 2015

Genre: Contemporary Romance/Sci-Fi

Synopsis: Curvy, intelligent and focused, Kyra Simmons has her eye on the prize. She’s locked her sights on becoming the top technical engineer for the most prestigious space program back on Earth. That is, until her life and plans are turned upside down in an instant on board a maintenance Space Station. 

Stranded on the now failing Space station, Kyra needs a miracle to survive. She has no idea that the ‘foreign’ astronauts who show up to rescue her are out of this world—literally. 

Warrior Lord Tordin, Crown Prince of Olodia, knows he’s outside of the Mandates of the Intergalactic Alliance when he intercedes to rescue the survivors of the Earth space station. But there’s something or someone pulling him in. 

He’s not prepared for what he finds in the unassuming Earth female. Try as he might to stay away, the pull grows stronger and stronger to be with her. His mission depends on his ability to stay focused and be prepared, but that’s almost impossible with Kyra in his thoughts and dreams. 

On the alien mother ship speeding away from Earth forever, Kyra’s biggest problem is not getting back to Earth; it’s how not to fall for this alien Warrior Lord whose the actual man of her dreams. 

Can she find a way to realize her dreams of power and recognition now that she’s been rescued by Tordin?

Oh my alien babies, this book literally could not force me to put this book down. I was giggling throughout the entire thing and honestly, it was one of the cutest things ever. As a woman with self-esteem issues, I related fairly well with Kyra. She didn't feel beautiful especially compared to her best friend, Phoebe. I feel that every day that I am with my friends.

In all honesty, Tordin is a weird name but of course he is an alien/god/thingimajig and so it's acceptable. At least to me. At first, I thought there was a spelling mistake for his brother Cordin. Tordin and Cordin. Too similar names but they couldn't be any different. 

From the beginning, Mychal Daniels tells us to watch out for Brantley because he is the biggest sleaze bag ever and thinks that he can get away with everything. I thought that if you were an astronaut, you had to be at least bit brilliant but I never got that vibe from Brantley but who knows his story. He is a little cuckoo from what I gather. 

I want to focus on Kyra and Tordin because of their unspeakable connection to each other. Each from different galaxies. From different worlds. Smashed together through fate. The Goddess has played her strings and now, it is up to them to make their relationship work. Obviously, it did and it was hot. 

There are no other words to say about this book other than the fact that I may become obsessed with aliens if this is the fact. I am going to go ahead and rate this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I think that this book series has a lot of potential and I really want to read the second book from Phoebe's perspective because of what happened to her in the first.

The Infinite Sea - Rick Yancey (The 5th Wave #2)

Oh man, I meant to read this book all day but I kept getting distracted by funny videos on Youtube and then I found The Writer's Circle on Facebook that posts some funny pictures.

Seriously though, my attention span is short ad it gets distracted easily. 

The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey, is the epitome of great novels. It is the second book to The 5th Wave and it ended with a complete cliffhanger, may I remind you.

However, this book, it jumps from perspective of one to perspective another. It kind of makes my head hurt but it is deeply intriguing.

Although I am only halfway through this book, I fell absolutely in love with the writer and the series. I cannot say that for a lot of books but if there are more books that he writes, I will read them. The only other time that I felt this way was with Jennifer L. Armentrout, or as J. Lynn as you may know her as. 

I am absolutely thrilled to finish this book and I cannot wait for my update on this. My book to review on Friday will hopefully be The Heir by Kiera Cass but here is the synopsis and cover art. Again, absolutely in love, Also must I add that The 5th Wave just got a movie deal and it should be coming out within the next year or so! So excited!

Synopsis:

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

And I will get an update to you guys by tomorrow at lunch time. 

XOXO fellow readers and see you soon!

Okay so I totally lied and said I would post an update but by the time I finished the book, I needed to sleep. Sorry everyone.

The only thing that I want to add to this review is that Cassie is not as strong of a female character as I would have hoped but rather Ringer is. I absolutely love Ringer because not only has she stayed bright throughout the alien war but also snarky and a smart-ass. I almost thought she was one to go for the jockey character but there is a character in here that meets her punch for punch.

Ugh. In love. Next up, The Heir - Kiera Cass.

The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey (The 5th Wave #1)

Sorry fellow book lovers that I haven't been behind the computer for a while. However, do I have something in store for you.

Rick Yancey has blown away by mind. As Jillian Rose Reed says, "Put a flavored condom on your head because your mind is about to be blown."

Synopsis:

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.

Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother—or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

There are so many POV's throughout this book it is almost hard to keep up with but it is so thrilling. There's Zombie, there's Sammy, there's Cassie for Cassiopeia, and there's Evan Walker.

I haven't finished this book yet but 50 more pages to go and plus I needed to upload this to you guys because I am way to excited for everyone else to read this book as well. Now it might seem like it amounts to much but I absolutely fell in love with it because of how it blew my mind and out me on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Evan Walker claims to be human but is he? Can you trust anyone? Wait for my update tonight, everyone. 

XOXO 

Update:

"Step One: the orderly...Step Two: the bathroom...Step Three: wet willy..."

I just about died when I read this line because of course it will shock just about anyone if you give them a wet willy. Trust me, I have tried.

Okay, so this book is perfect for those with the tastes for corruption and apocalypse styled novels. No, not zombie status but close enough. But this book is a beautiful in it's own way. Strangely, has a twist of forbidden love in it and I can sense a love triangle in the making. 

Now, you might groan at the fact that there is a love triangle but it is nothing like Twilight and their sappy romances but more or less like The Hunger Games because it is two different sides of the same coin. If that makes sense. 

I recommend this book to everyone of all ages because there are no graphic scenes romantically or otherwise. It is truly a tragic love story. I rate this book a solid 5 out 5 stars even if it took me a while to finish.

Shadows - Jennifer. L. Armentrout (Lux #.5)

Published Date: February 21, 2012

Genre: Sci-Fi/Young Adult

Synopsis: The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

DANGEROUS. TEMPTING. UNDENIABLE.
CAPTIVATED. LURED. LOVED.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence…and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

Okay considering the fact that I was not going to read this book at all was just insane.

I did read the Lux series before I read the novella or prequel. Okay so I knew what was going to happen but I did get a better insight on everyone while Dawson was there with them. However, Jennifer L. Armentrout's POV for this really confused me. I understood the whole going back and forth thing with Bethany and Dawson but then she inserted Daemon (His twin brother's POV into it) so that did not really make sense until the end.

I was heart broken when I read this.

I knew what was going to happen but not how to happened. Okay, I am totally going off on a tangent. It was hard not to guess what was going to happen next considered I knew the future for these characters. That just sounds like Ms. Crazy Pants.

Not something I want to be known for.

However, it does make me want to divulge myself into these novels again now that I know the beginning of Daemon's brooding character.

As if he wouldn't fall for a human girl. So cliché. But so good. I can't argue with that. No one can't argue with that.

Arum suck donkey balls.

Okay, tell me this. I know they said that the Arum are nothing like the Luxen. But what if, just what if, the Arum are just Luxen who turn dark. It is a weird concept and in my head, I get it.

I wish you guys could understand my logic here.

Anyways, I would definitely recommend reading this and the rest of the series. I rate this book a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.
