Hush, hush Saga - Becca Fitzpatrick

Finished Date: October 23, 2012

Genre: Young Adult/Paranormal

Synopsis for Hush, hush: 

Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.

Synopsis for Crescendo:

Nora Grey's life is still far from perfect. Surviving an attempt on her life wasn't pleasant, but at least she got a guardian angel out of it. A mysterious, magnetic, gorgeous guardian angel. But despite his role in her life, Patch has been acting anything but angelic. He's more elusive than ever (if that's possible) and what's worse, he seems to be spending time with Nora's archenemy, Marcie Millar.

Nora would have hardly noticed Scott Parnell, an old family friend who has moved back to town, if Patch hadn't been acting so distant. Even with Scott's totally infuriating attitude, Nora finds herself drawn to him - despite her lingering feelings that he is hiding something.

If that weren't enough, Nora is haunted by images of her murdered father, and comes to question whether her Nephilim bloodline has anything to do with his death. Desperate to figure out what happened, she puts herself in increasingly dangerous situations to get the answer. But maybe some things are better left buried, because the truth could destroy everything - and everyone - she trusts.

Synopsis for Silence:

Nora Grey can't remember the past five months of her life. After the initial shock of waking up in a cemetery and being told that she has been missing for weeks - with no one knowing where she was or who she was with - she tried to get her life back on track. Go to school, hang out with her best friend, Vee, and dodge mom's creepy new boyfriend.

But there is this voice in the back of her head, an idea that she can almost reach out and touch. Visions of angel wings and unearthly creatures that have nothing to do with the life she knows.

And this unshakable feeling that a part of her is missing.

Then Nora crosses paths with a sexy stranger, whom she feels a mesmerizing connection to. He seems to hold all the answers...and her heart. Every minute she spends with him grows more and more intense until she realizes she could be falling in love. Again.

Synopsis for Finale: 

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

The Hush, hush Saga by Becca Fitzpatrick is a chilling tale in the main protagonists view. Her name is Nora Grey and I can tell you that you will fall in love with her right away with her snarky attitude towards guys. That is until she meets Patch. She is dangerously coming close to falling for someone she knows she should steer away from but his mysteriousness draws her in immediately along with all of the danger that comes with him. Follow Fitzpatrick through the journey of Nora Grey's life. 

Upcoming book reviews that I will hopefully be doing will be Beckon Me - Cindy Thomas, Captive - Aimée Carter, and Twist - Karen Akins. I bundled these books together because they were so good but I didn't want to spam my blog and readers with four different reviews. I would recommend reading these books if you're in for romance and a thrilling story. 

I rate this a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars as an average of all four books.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds.

Fragile Spirits - Mary Lindsey (Souls #2)

Published Date: January 23, 2014
Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy

Synopsis:Paul has always known he was a Protector, fated to serve a Speaker who could hear the voices of spirits lingering after death and help those souls find peace.

Vivienne ignores the voices of the dead.Paul has always followed the Protector’s rule book, preparing diligently for the day when he’d be matched with his Speaker and fulfill his destiny.Vivienne never does what she’s told.So when Paul is matched with Vivienne, they both find the pairing less than satisfactory. But a kidnapping, a malevolent spirit and power stronger than both of them may just prove that they are two halves of the same whole.In a stunning story about the beauty of fate and the power of secrets, Mary Lindsey returns to the world of Shattered Souls with a breathtaking thrill-ride of a novel.**Note from author: This book begins one month after Shattered Souls leaves off. Lenzi and Alden are featured in this book, but reading Shattered Souls is not a prerequisite.

In the first book, Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey, we were introduced to a new character near the end. No spoilers, I promise. But this character is a new Protector and they are getting assigned their first Speaker. But this girl is the total opposite of him from a first glance. 

When you don't get along with someone, romantically, friendship, or familial, you tend to bicker it out until one party gets tired and gives it up. Throughout the book, this happens constantly but it isn't the kind of arguing where it makes you want to cry in a corner but the kind where it makes you smile and laugh, just a little bit.

Now since the characters have been introduced in the synopsis, I think that Paul and Vivienne's storyline goes along the lines of Lenzi and Alden's, however, just from the male's perspective. Both Lenzi and Vivienne are snarky and confident in their powers once they get introduced to them while Alden and Paul are both protective [obviously] and lovers of their Speakers. They also help their partners get used to the idea of their powers and help them use it. Also another character from the pervious novel will show up and make you want to flip tables in the short run.

In the next book, if there will be one, I predict it will be about Race and Maddy and how their relationship developed since the beginning of time, maybe show a little snippet of why Race and his first partner never got along. 

I really liked this book and I don't know if it is because of the paranormal activities in the series, but it is definitely a good read. 

So thanks for reading and I hope that you will click that follow button and share my posts with all of your Google circles, Facebook friends, and so on. The next book will either be Hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick, or Twist by Karen Akins. 

I rate this book a good 3 out of 5 stars.

Release Date: Fall with Me - Jennifer L. Armentrout (With You #4)

One of the greatest days of the year is finally here.

Fall With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout is finally out. It came to my kindle at 11:53pm. So it came a little earlier. 

Published Date: March 31, 2015

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Synopsis: Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

I am in love with this story so far. I just started the book and Roxy and Reece's relationship already makes me laugh to the point where I look like a crazy person on the train.

I also just finished Trust in Me, a novella by Jennifer L Armentrout which presents the point of view of Cam. It shows Cam and Avery's relationship into a deeper meaning. How truly romantic are these books because it makes so jealous of these characters.

Published Date: October 22, 2013

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Synopsis: From the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of WAIT FOR YOU, this is the story of Cam and Avery’s sizzling romance as you’ve never seen it before, told exclusively from Cam’s perspective…

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up – he can’t get this feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. What will it take to help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery’s life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

Also just another update:

Twist - Karen Akins is finally coming out in SIX more days! So excited to read more about Bree Bennis. 

Fall With Me

by

Jennifer L. Armentrout

I know that I have been neglecting my blog but with good reason. I didn't want to give this review because it makes things so final. This book has been an amazing companion throughout the three days. Reece Anders knows how to make your hormones go a little crazy. Roxy, a bartender that has been working full time, goes to school for her best friend Charlie, and is an artist. 

If only every life was something like these series of books, things would be good. I could get used to the life of hot guys roaming around college campus because my college definitely doesn't have that. I wish it did but we weren't all blessed. 

Now this book is definitely a thriller, well I guess suspenseful is the best way to explain this because there is something so unpredictable in this that it will make you want to bang your head against the wall a good few times. However, I guess since all of these books have had something where it could happen to anyone around you, it should have been predictable. 

Anyways, I do recommend reading this book because it is a romance novel with a hint of thrilling and yet suspenseful story plot. 

Also, because this is my last time, most likely, writing about this because most of my blog is filled with it. I just got my book in the mail and my goodness! It was one of the most beautiful present that I got. Even if I got it for myself and it was an early birthday present and Jennifer L. Armentrout herself autographed it so THANK YOU!

Next book, on my to-review list is either Twist - Karen Akins or Obsidian - Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Thanks for reading this post and don't forget to follow me which you can do by clicking that follow button on the side bar on the right column! Have a good night!

I rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Twist - Karen Akins (Loop #2)

Release Date Changed!

So till recently, it was supposed to be released on March 31, 2015... Which had me really psyched for the end of the month but now... I don't know what I feel... Anger? Upset? But I guess they haven't cancelled the book all in total so it's no big deal.

The new release date is April 7, 2015 so mark it on your calendars!

This is an amazing series so far if you like the futuristic stuff for you. Lots of YA and very sci-fi!

Bree Bennis has it all!

Release Date: April 7, 2015

Genre: Teen Dystopian/Young Adult

Synopsis: 

The unbelievably thrilling sequel to the time-travel YA novel Loop.

Bree Bennis finally has it all—a non-comatose mother, an uber-hot (albeit anachronistic) boyfriend named Finn, and a newfound mission to protect the timeline from those who would skew it for their own gain. But when she leans over one day to smooch said boyfriend, her lips meet those of her arch-nemesis Wyck instead. The timeline has been altered, and Bree is caught in the crosshairs. But when she goes back to repair the damage, she is stopped by none other than her Future Self, who delivers an urgent message: Someone is kidnapping Shifters from the distant past. It’s up to Bree to stop them. But first, she has to figure out who…and why.

To follow the trail of chronocrumbs, Bree reluctantly accepts her new undercover gig as Wyck’s girlfriend. Everything goes spiffy until Finn shows up in the 23rd century on the eager arm of a gorgeous fellow Shifter. Blark. Even as Bree struggles with jealousy, she battles the nagging dread that Finn might be better off with someone less chronologically complicated. Her worst fear is confirmed when Finn becomes the kidnapper’s next victim. As Bree zeroes in on the culprit, they unravel her life one timeline-change at a time. She realizes that she alone has the power to save herself and everyone she loves. But to do that, she may lose Finn forever.

WHAT?! THE!? BLARK!? JUST?! HAPPENED?!

It's a race against time to save the ones that you love. Will Bree Bennis make it or will she fail and live as an Unchipped Shifter who is the only one who can tell when a NeoShifter has made a change to the past.

I loved this book but I am sad to say goodbye to a great series. Bree Bennis and Finn are the ultimate power couple. Honest.

I rate this book a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Questions to be answered:
Did Future Bree change the timeline on purpose?
Who is this gorgeous shifter on the arm of her Finnigan?
Will this gorgeous shifter turn out to be the kidnapper?
What will come of next of Finnree?! (Yes my book couple name for them is uber cheesy)
Will Bree and Wyck end up together in the future?
