Torn - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Wicked #2)

Published Date: July 19, 2016
Genre: Fantasy/New Adult
Synopsis: Torn between duty and survival, nothing can be the same. 

Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head. After being betrayed and then nearly killed by the Prince of the Fae, she’s left bruised and devastated—and with an earth-shattering secret that she must keep at all costs. And if the Order finds out her secret, they’ll kill her. 

Then there’s Ren Owens, the sexy, tattooed Elite member of the Order who has been sharing Ivy’s bed and claiming her heart. Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him? 

But as the Fae Prince begins to close in, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options. If she doesn’t figure out who she can trust—and fast—it’s not only her heart that will be torn apart, but civilization itself.

RENNNNNNNN, REN, REN, REN, REN! 

HOLY CRAPPITY CRAP. I LOVED THIS BOOK WITH SUCH A FIERY PASSION. 

SRSLY THOUGH. This book made me fall in love with Ivy and Ren all over again. HOW COULD I FORGET TINK. Like dude. DUDE.

You need to read this current duo soon to be trilogy and just fall in love with it. 

IT TAKES SO LONG FOR NEXT YEAR TO COME AROUND. LIKE. Okay, I don't mean to yell but it's hard not too. Like Torn was such a pretty book and damn, I want it so, so, so bad. By want it, I mean a signed edition from Jennifer L. Armentrout because hey, she's an amazing person and so adorable. 

You have to meet her too. 

Torn is something you will need your life.

5 out of 5 stars.

Sentinel - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #5)

Published Date: November 2, 2013
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: It's a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.

Guys... What the actual loving Gods of Heaven and Hell. 

I'm staring at my tea mug because I have no idea how I feel about this whole situation. My main question is how can Jennifer L. Armentrout. Like how dare she. But all the more, I think I fell in love with her writing with these series. 

I just couldn't put it down.

Sentinel is a beautiful ending to a beautiful series. 

I just hoped that it wouldn't end and my wishes were granted because we get a better look into why Seth did what he did. What drove him. What broke him. 

I loved this so much 

A 5 out of 5 wonderful stars.

Apollyon - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #4)

Published Date: April 4, 2013
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Because of Seth, we have encountered the part of Alex that we have always feared. Something that we didn't want to see at all. 

As we saw in Elixir, Alex has become and did the two things that she has always feared. How she didn't want this to happen. Yet it did. Could things have been done to avoid it? Hell yes. But I'm kind of glad it didn't. 

This made this book, all the better. 

Apollyon is a beautiful addition to the Covenant series because we get to see Alex fight for love and for want. To stop this internal battle, she will need to get past the God Killer status and fight for her life and ones that she truly loves. 

5 out of 5 stars.

Elixir - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #3.5)

Published Date: November 27, 2012
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: Aiden St. Delphi will do anything to save Alex. Even if it means doing the one thing he will never forgive himself for. Even if it means making war against the gods.

That synopsis tells us all. 

I cannot get over Aiden St. Delphi and no matter who I encounter in other books and what I say, nobody can tell me different. 

I am in love with St. Delphi and his forbidden pure-blood ness. I need him in my life even if that means re-reading the series over and over again. Elixir will make you think long and hard about what you would do for the one person that you love.

Even if that means going against your values. Going back against your words and promises. 

A fantastic 4.7 out of 5 stars for this novella.

Deity - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #3)

Published Date: November 6, 2012
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time.

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. 

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Guys, guys. 

You have to read this book. Not just because of Aiden St Delphi. But because of Seth. *cue fanning self*. His amber eyes. His taut body. His beautiful and sarcastic and melodic voice. How can we resist such a man? 

You know how I said that I have such a girl crush on Alexandria? That still stands. This book makes me want to move her even more than is possible because she is learning through mistakes. Like a real person. 

Not some fictional character that some author made up. 

I loved this. Hard. 

With revelations revealed in this book, you won't want to put it down. Obviously this is a 5 out of 5 stars.

Pure - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #2)

Published Date: April 3, 2012
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: There is need. And then there is Fate. Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's other half is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her. When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon--and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude--or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.

Okay, this sequel is wonderful. Alex just can't stop being wonderfully heroic and beautiful. 

Fate is evil and yet, it is so truthful. There is a need for it. There is a want for it. 

After the showdown with her mom, traumatic and awful on both her and her best friend, she doesn't know what to do... Her mom was really her beat friend when those three years passed. But only Aiden can get her through the whole thing.

He must.

She will lose herself. 

Now fate was pulled the cruelest of them all. An awful thing that has never happened before has come to be. Furies attacking. Gods involved. Daimons infiltrate. You will just need to read this book to find out what this whole deal is on the Covenant series.

With a 5 out of 5 stars, I will blog you later, awesome book nerds.

Half-Blood - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #1)

Published Date: October 18, 2011
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals--well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is.

If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Descending even further into Alexandria's adventures, I have officially gotten a girl crush on her. She is amazing. She has the experience of being there and back. Of course, when we get a glimpse into her past, you just have to love her. 

She has this spunk in her that even the council cannot deny. 

Rules of the Covenant: 
#1: Halfs and Pures together in a relationship are forbidden. 

After that, everything pretty much goes. 

But the problem with this is that Alex, she might be crushing on Aiden. The hot and out of reach. But she does not fear being caught about that. What she fears the most is being sucked dry and being turned into those aether craving evil freaks... Then she will fear being caught. Especially by the one she likes. 

A solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Daimon - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #0.5)

Published Date: May 10, 2011
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: "Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee!' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." 

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards… and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. 

According to her mother, that’s a good thing. 

But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return—the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death… because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill. 

The daimons have found her.

A perfect start to the perfect series. 

I loved this book without any hesitation because of Alex.

Her adventures in this book and how she is so brave and beautiful and brilliant. 

I loved this about her. 

Nobody seems to understand her but the only person that does is her mother. But there is evil looking around the corner and poor Alex does not know it yet. That is, until they have found her safe haven. Her home. 

This book is an amazing 4 out of 5 stars.

The Problem with Forever - Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published Date: May 17, 2016
Genre: Young Adult/Contemporary
Synopsis: For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.


I try to hook people onto their book style/personality but I think that this is a book that everyone needs to read. Mainly because it brushes on such a sensitive topic that is not very well known to other people. It is sensitive and may trigger some alarms into the system. I teared throughout this book because it really did make me learn something about myself and others. I couldn't help my heart as it got torn into pieces throughout this book. 

Silence is often noted off as weird but to those who use it, it can be used as a shield and/or weapon. Mallory Dodge really makes your heart pound with the anxiety that she feels. Nightmares don't just end and they will continue to plague you. It is something that you will need to battle. She used her silence as her shield because she didn't want anyone or anything breaking that barrier. 

Tearful, heart-moving/melting/breaking, Jennifer L. Armentrout brings the story of a silent girl, a broken boy, and how everything can change in a single moment. 

You tore my heart to pieces all while making me fall in love with you as a writer. 

If you don't know Jen as a writer, you have too. She broaches on all topics from romance to contemporary to heart warming stories as well as hard to approach topics. Like this one. When you first meet Mallory Dodge and hear the horror stories of what she endured makes your heart break. The reunion of the characters, Mallory and Rider, your heart bursts. 

I told you that I was ready as soon as I heard Wendy Higgins say that this was heart breaking, warming, and everything. I knew that this book just had to be great. I feel as though my heart couldn't take anymore but damn, Jen. Everything just broke my heart. 

Expectations are a huge thing to hit on in this book. Why? Everyone holds these expectations for you, sometimes low, sometimes high. But you just have to break them down, which is what happened to Mallory, Rider, and all of the sub characters. 

This plot didn't necessarily hit home for me personally but it definitely could trigger some bad memories for others. I felt that this book ultimately opened my eyes to things that I didn't see before. So with a 5 out of 5 stars, I urge you all to read.

Oblivion - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Lux #1.5)

Published Date: December 1, 2015
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.

Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...
 


I was raving the hell out of this book and I got it in both paperback and e-book. Why you ask? The paperback only has one book out of three in Daemon's point of view and book nerds, I need my Daemon and for him to make some alien babies with because I mean, look at that face and those eyes are definitely something die for.

He is the alpha male around school. Every guy is either jealous of him or wants to be him. Every girl wants to be with him. That is, until he meets Kitten... I mean, Kat. She's feisty as hell and you'll understand why he calls her that nickname. 

At the hands of Jennifer L. Amentrout and her impossible expectations that she sets for men is a bit harsh but I love the way my heart melts at the sounds of her words. Needless to say, I needed a lot of damn tissues for this book and to be honest, when Jennifer L. Armentrout told us that she was writing a book in Daemon's perspective, I dropped all things and got on the freaking internet. 

Daemon tries to act like a macho man especially around Kat to scare her off. I love Kat because she can stand her ground and that is what pushed me to actually want to continue the stories. I hate stories with girls who cannot take care of themselves. Like are you kidding me? We are women. We aren't helpless. She also was the reason why I started a blog. I mean, you just kind of had to seeing how much fun Katy was having with it. 

Here, I will insert a huge thank you to other bloggers and authors for giving me early copies of their books to read them. Of course, I get an influx of them right around finals week. DAMN YOU! I want to read and not study now!

Gosh. Well, rant over. As Daemon told his perspective, you kind of got over the fact that he was being a butthole to Katy from her perspective (the original Lux series) because he had valid reason to be that way. He didn't want to get close with a human. I mean, haven't you heard of human cooties? Duh. Well, I think that he was in all honesty, the sweetest freaking thing on the planet and you can't get over it. 

By the second book (in e-book version only), you kind of get annoyed with Kat and Blake, Bart, Brock, whatever his name is. He's not important. All I can say about him is that he is so annoying. I mean, he was annoying Kat's perspective but now that I read Daemon's, I just want to strangle that kid. 

By the third... I was in tears. I was so done with everything and I fell into a book hole. I just don't know where to go from here because I need more aliens in my life. 

Sigh... Goodbye, my sweet Daemon. UGH! Pain to my heart! I rate this a 4.8 out of 5 stars because well Jennifer never disappoints me. 

Anyways... Blog you later, awesome book nerds. See you next time.

Release Date: Forever with You - Jennifer L. Armentrout (With You #5)

Published Date: September 29, 2015
Genre: New Adult/Romance
Synopsis: In the irresistibly sexy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, two free spirits find their lives changed by a one-night stand…

Some things you just believe in, even if you've never experienced them. For Stephanie, that list includes love. It's out there. Somewhere. Eventually. Meanwhile she's got her job at the mixed martial arts training center and hot flings with gorgeous, temporary guys like Nick. Then a secret brings them closer, opening Steph's eyes to a future she never knew she wanted—until tragedy rips it away.

Nick's self-assured surface shields a past no one needs to know about. His mind-blowing connection with Steph changes all that. As fast as he's knocking down the walls that have kept him commitment-free, she's building them up again, determined to keep the hurt—and Nick—out. But he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one who's ever made him wish for forever . . .


Happy Book Birthday to the awesome Jennifer L. Armentrout and to her fifth book of the With You saga. Book boyfriends at every turn with each of her books and you even end up loving the female characters because they are the definition of strong!

I know it doesn't come out for a while but I am anticipating Fire in You as well. But for now, I ordered Forever with You on both Kindle and paperback so we will see how this book turns out. I have high hopes for Steph and Nick considering they are one and the same.

But, my review will have to wait until I can finish and update this, awesome book nerds. Trust me... The suspense is killing me as well.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

I finished Forever with You and found myself sniffling in bed. This is one of the most heart-breaking yet mending stories that I have read. 

Now, let's be honest. I am going to warn you... Ovaries will explode, hearts will break, but love will prevail. 

As aforementioned, my heart was broken when I read about Stephanie going through all of the mixed emotions but Nick wouldn't let her be and go through it alone. There was the spark of love.

But there isn't just romantics of relationships but there are those of familial and friendships. Although, Stephanie was new to town, she was immediately enveloped in the loving embrace of Avery and her friends. Mainly Roxy and Katie. 

Through this book, you will be led through the stages of grief. Denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and finally, acceptance. She was able to go through this with the help of those around her. No one should be left alone in this type of situation and thankfully, she came around to just accepting that her friends were going to annoy the hell out of her until she was able to cope. 

Stephanie seems to always assume things and they are always the worst. Rumors spread about her since she was in high school and hasn't been in a serious relationship since. Nick, not since college.

I loved this to beyond. Give this your time of day and read this. Maybe the entire series.

The Green Inferno (Movie Review)

Let me just say this, if you want the blood and gore. You won't get it here. Yeah, there were some parts that made you cringe or gag. Eli Roth kept it PG-13 and I think the only reason why I believe it was rated as R was because you saw a penis here and there, touching, and boobs. Can't see the boobs unless you're over 17, right?

Release Date: September 25, 2015
Genre: Horror
Synopsis: 
New York college student Justine (Lorenza Izzo), a lawyer's daughter, meets a student activist named Alejandro (Ariel Levy) when he goes on a hunger strike on behalf of underpaid janitors. Smitten, Justine agrees to help Alejandro undertake his next project: to save the Amazon. She soon learns to regret her decision when their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle and she and the rest of their group are taken captive by a tribe of hungry cannibals.

One of the movies that I will never add to my horror movie collection nor would ever watch it again if someone does have the audacity to buy it. I am not going to lie... I learned about the cannibalistic tribe but honestly they mistook the group to be part of the group that was destroying their homes. 

I will save you the $11 of watching it and give you what I got in.

College freshman wants to do something for the world, finds an activist group, flies to the Amazon, group chains themselves to trees, main girl experiences near-death experience, on plane ride back home, plane breaks down and crashes, tribe ambushes them, eaten one by one. Main girl survives. Of course she does. Of course she does!

I was expecting gore. I was expecting hardcore cannibalism but honestly, I either cringed at the screaming or I was laughing at the movie. There was a sweet cannibal kid that felt that what they were doing was wrong... Guess what he does?  

There was a funny part that does involve hyper-ness and the munchies... Can you guess what happens? Yeah, you just got the idea. I was laughing a bit to hard at that scene...

This movie was not god-awful but it wasn't a 5 out of 5 stars. We are going to go ahead and be generous and rate this movie a 2.7 stars out of 5. Do not and I warn... Do not spend money to watch this.

Alright, I will blog you later, awesome nerds and I will be back with The White Rabbit Chronicles series by Gena Showalter in order to celebrate her upcoming book to be released on the 29th of September and Forever with You - Jennifer L. Armentrout, also being released on the 29th of September.

Beautiful Darkness - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (Caster Chronicles #2)

Published Date: October 12, 2010
Genre: Fantasy/Young Adult
Synopsis: Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.

Sometimes life-ending.

Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

I am absolutely enamored with Ethan Wate because who wouldn't want a boyfriend that's obsessed with protecting you? I was heartbroken as I was reading about Lena and Ethan's relationship and how it progressed because... Well you get the gist of it and I don't really like spoilers unless if I want to save you guys the time from reading this and well, this is a must-read.


It was one of those books that was really hard to read at first because it just was not your style but then as son as you get into the third chapter, you realize that you're almost halfway through the book and the sun is coming up. Exhausted, you want to sleep for a couple hours before work but that didn't happen. It had me questions what sleep was. 

This new character that is going to be introduced in this book will have you falling hard just from his looks but not his dick-headed personality. Now personally, another new character is just coming in and your head will spinning with the words of 'WTF, Ethan.' 'You can't do that.' 'You can't call her that.' But then again, I said the same thing about Lena throughout the novel. There were some parts that just made me slam my book and almost, I said almost, chuck it at the wall and crack the plaster. One of the heaviest books that I have read.

Also the plot twist was just mind-blowing and the revelation just hits you like a couple of bricks. 

So I am going to rate this book a good 4 out 5 stars because there were some parts of this book that were just distasteful and you cannot do anything about it. It's published and done with. I think that I am going to go ahead and read the next book in the series and see where we are from there.

The next book will hopefully be Forever with You - Jennifer L. Armentrout and the White Rabbit Chronicles - Gena Showalter. 

By this weekend, I am going to be a little helper for Ms. Gena Showalter and storm the bookstores and stick her books with some stickers. Maybe you'll see one of us helpers storming the stores.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds and I will be back with The Prisoner of Cell 25 - Richard Paul Evans.

Cover Reveal: Oblivion - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Lux #1.5)

Release Date: December 1, 2015
Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Young Adult
Synopsis: Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. 

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are. 

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game. 

Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...


Look at that beautiful cover and that drinkable man. Pepe Toth is just a beautiful man in general and the object of my affection. Especially when I imagine him as I am reading the LUX novels. 

Author's Note: 
Oblivion would've been a massive book, coming in over 1300 pages which made putting the book in print very difficult and not very cost friendly to the readers, but Entangled Teen and I knew that some of you would want Oblivion in print, a copy that you can hold in your hands. 
So Oblivion will be available in print for those who wish to have a physical copy. The print copy will be Obsidian told in Daemon’s POV, and the digital version will include Obsidian POV, plus two bonus books (Onyx and Opal) in Daemon’s POV. 
The Print version will be available at online retailers and is mainly in place for those who want a print copy. You do not have to buy both. If you just want to read the first three books in Daemon's POV, then the digital book is for you. If you do end up purchasing both versions, you’ll be paying roughly $17-$18 combined for what basically is three books, which still is a heck of a steal.
The pre-order links are here at: Jennifer L. Armentrout's Page.
As the date gets closer, I hope to review all of the books and make you fall in love with Daemon because I mean he makes you want to have half-alien babies. 
Also guess what? The move trailer for The 5th Wave - Rick Yancey is out and you can go watch it here: The 5th Wave - Rick Yancy (Movie Trailer).

UPDATE: On My Life (Oh, so interesting... NOT.) Pt. 2

Hey awesome book nerds! Due to the fact that I am being slammed with homework, quizzes, tests, exams, essays, etc.... I decided to just list a few books that I will be reviewing in the near future. Here is a little update on what I am reading and what will be coming up as reviews. 



Beautiful Darkness - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl [TBA]
Published Date: October 12, 2010
Genre: Fantasy/Young Adult/Paranormal
Synopsis: Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.

Sometimes life-ending.

Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

Helen may be able to channel the voice of the gods, but she hates her gift, and will do anything to get rid of it—even lie to her best friend, Myrtale, the priestess-princess of Epirus who is destined to marry King Philip II of Macedon even though she loves another. And in the shadows lurks a handsome green-eyed stranger who has more at stake—and more to lose—than anyone could possibly imagine.Amid jealousy and heartbreak, torrid affairs and secret rendezvous, it is spoken by the gods that either Helen or Myrtale —newly named Olympias— will carry the destiny of the known world within her womb.

She’s training to become a Shadowhunter and to use her unique power. Her mother is getting married to the love of her life. Downworlders and Shadowhunters are at peace at last. And—most importantly of all—she can finally call Jace her boyfriend.

But nothing comes without a price.

Someone is murdering Shadowhunters, provoking tensions between Downworlders and Shadowhunters that could lead to a second, bloody war. Clary’s best friend, Simon, can’t help her—his mother just found out that he’s a vampire, and now he’s homeless. When Jace begins to pull away from her without explaining why, Clary is forced to delve into the heart of a mystery whose solution reveals her worst nightmare: she herself has set in motion a terrible chain of events that could lead to her losing everything she loves. Even Jace.


Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire [TBA]
Published Date: May 26, 2011
Genre: Young Adult
Synopsis: The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand. 

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Some things you just believe in, even if you've never experienced them. For Stephanie, that list includes love. It's out there. Somewhere. Eventually. Meanwhile she's got her job at the mixed martial arts training center and hot flings with gorgeous, temporary guys like Nick. Then a secret brings them closer, opening Steph's eyes to a future she never knew she wanted—until tragedy rips it away.

Nick's self-assured surface shields a past no one needs to know about. His mind-blowing connection with Steph changes all that. As fast as he's knocking down the walls that have kept him commitment-free, she's building them up again, determined to keep the hurt—and Nick—out. But he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one who's ever made him wish for forever . . .


Alright, I really do look forward to getting my hands on these books and movies to review them for you. I am looking everywhere for Forever with You - Jennifer L. Armentrout and see if I can find a released book before the published date.
