The Accident Season - Moira Fowley-Doyle

I am sorry for neglecting you all. Happy Labor Day weekend and I hope that everyone is taking advantage of the sales that are going on. I am here now and I am ready to review... Not really...

Published Date: August 18, 2015
Genre: Paranormal/Young Adult
Synopsis:  It's the accident season, the same time every year. Bones break, skin tears, bruises bloom.

The accident season has been part of seventeen-year-old Cara's life for as long as she can remember. Towards the end of October, foreshadowed by the deaths of many relatives before them, Cara's family becomes inexplicably accident-prone. They banish knives to locked drawers, cover sharp table edges with padding, switch off electrical items - but injuries follow wherever they go, and the accident season becomes an ever-growing obsession and fear.

But why are they so cursed? And how can they break free?
 


I was really excited for this book. It was new. It was different and it seemed intriguing. But right now, I am only on the fourth chapter and I am just not loving it right now but I told myself that I am going to power through it and I did so I pat myself on the back for it. 

From what I got already from the book is: Yes we understand that you are seeing someone in ALL of your photos. I understand that your mother is having a slightly mental breakdown because she cannot handle the accident season. We understand that even if he is your step-brother, you both feel incest-feelings for each other. 

I mean, overall, it was an interesting book. Something new and different but it wasn't my style of my favorite books and although I struggled through it, skimming a few pages (YES, I am the worst reviewer in the world!) I can honestly rate this a solid 3 out of 5 stars. I would not read this book again but it was alright.

I don't have a lot to say about this book because I am honestly just kind of weirded out by it... A strange story, indeed. But the plot twist at the end was what got me.

Anyways, I will blog you later tonight hopefully with Sweet Temptation - Wendy Higgins because I found it in my bookstore and I will be going there again to see if they have another book that has not been published just yet.

Sweet Reckoning - Wendy Higgins (The Sweet Trilogy #3)

Published Date: April 29, 2014
Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Young Adult/Romance
Synopsis: It’s time. 

Evil is running rampant and sweet Anna Whitt is its target. Nobody knows when or how the Dukes will strike, but Anna and her Nephilim allies will do anything necessary to rid the earth of the demons and their oppressive ways.

The stakes are higher than ever, and Anna is determined that the love she feels will be her strength, not a liability. But trying to protect the ones she loves while running for her life and battling demonic forces proves to be perilous—especially as faces are changing and trust is fleeting. When the Duke of Lust sends Anna’s great love, Kaidan Rowe, to work against her, Anna must decide how much she’s prepared to risk.

In the most sensual and fast-paced installment yet, Sweet Reckoning brings all the beloved Neph together one last time to fight for their freedom.

Honestly, one of the saddest thing an author can do to you is complete the series and make all of the characters go away. But this book was a fantastic and bittersweet conclusion to The Sweet trilogy and although I am sad to see Kaidan, Jay, Blake, Kopano all going away, I loved this nonetheless.

This is a must-read book series. I read each of the books within a day and a half. I swooned and cried over the guys within the books especially Kaidon and his British accent and the tragic love stories all mixed in together.

I cannot wait for Sweet Temptation to be released within eight days because it tells all three books within Kaidan's POV and who wouldn't want a beautiful British accent narrating his life? The release date is September 8, 2015.

Their romance is unbeatable and I always, ALWAYS, love a great love story especially as great as Anna and Kaidan. Even Wendy Higgins epilogue made me tear up because of how sweet it turns out to be and ever since Sweet Peril, Kope and Zania were an ultimate power couple.

I rate this book another 5 out of 5 stars and I am not ashamed to say it because this book is one of the ultimate love stories of overcoming challenges since Romeo and Juliet as well as Jennifer L. Armentrout's book. Another reason why I loved this series is because of the whole fact that it wasn't too graphic but it was powerful enough to feel everything.

Also, mentioning Jennifer L. Armentrout, thanks to her publisher and herself for giving us a chance to buy a signed copy of Forever with You on GoodChoice Reading. You can buy it here and remember it is an INTERNATIONAL as well: BUY IT HERE.

I hope to be reviewing The Accident Season - Moira Fowley-Doyle and Secret - Brigid Kemmerer very soon.

Thanks for reading and I'll blog you later, awesome book nerds.

Sweet Peril - Wendy Higgins (The Sweet Trilogy #2)

Published Date: April 30, 2013
Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Romance/Young Adult

Synopsis: Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things. 

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.


When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?


One of the funniest chapters that I have read in this book was where Kope and Anna were 'wrestling' in a dark parking lot. I cannot believe I started laughing out loud because it was corny and cheesy but I loved it nonetheless. 

Oh and that shocking revelation of Kope and his sins. Oh... Oh... LAWLS. This just made me 10 times more attractive and I do not know why. Maybe it is because he pushes against his sins and refuses to conduct them.

My thoughts on this book are that it is fantastic and my eyes cannot drink it up fast enough. I don't know if you awesome book nerds watch The Vampire Diaries but Kaidan reminds me of Klaus and Anna reminds me of Caroline. Strangely...

When Kaidan was treating Anna like she was the plague, I was most definitely rooting for Kope and Anna because of his affection for her. But then, the plot twist, or I should say several were revealed and it had you breathless. 

Don't get me wrong, Kope and Anna's kiss was described amazingly as well as their connection.

Now Anna was trying to fill the empty void in her life without Kaidan with Kope and I hated that fact because Kope seemed like a good guy. But I love her nonetheless because she is badass as hell but still has feelings especially when it comes to Kaidan. 


I rate this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars and I really do wish that I could give it more because I fall in love with the series, more and more every time. 

Blog you later, awesome book nerds and don't miss out on the chance to pre-order Forever with You (Sep 29, 2015) on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble and get an exclusive never-before-seen Cam and Avery scene by Jennifer L. Armentrout at Avon Romance once you fill out their form. I will be back for Sweet Peril - Wendy Higgins, Secret - Brigid Kemmerer, and The Accident Season - Moira Fowley-Doyle.
