Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder.  The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited.  Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human.

Alright so I cheat a little and sometimes pick teasers from two spots...as I did this week, and I cheat a little sometimes by adding more than one sentence to a teaser.  But hey, it's my blog and I reserve the right to cheat when it feels necessary.   Today's teasers are taken from Predestined (Existence Trilogy #3)  by Abbi Glines: Teaser #1: "What Death protects can't be harmed and baby," the pad of his thumb caressed my cheek, "y...

Existence (Existence Trilogy #1) By: Abbi Glines Published: December 13, 2011 by Wild Child Publishing 194 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course. Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him. Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead. Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize ...

Feature and Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read . "Increase blog followers, gain book blog followers and make new friends with the book blogger Feature & Follow." This week's question is: Q. What is the last book that kept you up late into the night just to finish it? I'm always pretty limited to how late I can stay up at night to read because my husband can't sleep with any light on in the room.  10:00 is typically the latest I can read and that's even if I stay up that late...hey, when you've got 2 kids of your own plus you watch a baby every day, staying up late typically isn't even in my vocabulary!  However, I *think* I stayed up till 11:00 recently because I couldn't stop reading (I didn't finish till the next day): What about you?  What book has recently kept you up all hours of the night either because you couldn't put it down or because you HAD to finish it? ...

Kieran has led the boys safely up to this point, and now that the girls are back, their mission seems slightly less impossible: to chase down the New Horizon, and save their parents from the enemy ship. But nothing is truly as it seems…Kieran’s leadership methods have raised Seth’s hackles— and Waverly’s suspicions. Is this really her fiancé? The handsome, loving boy she was torn from just a short time before? More and more, she finds her thoughts aligned with Seth’s. But if Seth is Kieran’s Enemy No. 1, what does that make her?  In one night, a strange explosion rocks the Empyrean—shooting them off course and delaying their pursuit of the New Horizon—and Seth is mysteriously released from the brig. Seth is the most...

Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read . "Increase blog followers, gain book blog followers and make new friends with the book blogger Feature & Follow" This week's question is: Q. Who is your favorite Villain from a book? Picking just one favorite is going to be the challenge.  I gotta go with one of my favorites from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.  In his books he writes amazing characters all around and boy does he know how to write a villain you can easily hate.  Sometimes I have found myself beginning to actually like a villain I had earlier despised.  Talk about a game changer later on in the books!  One character though that has stayed a much despised villain (and I've only read books 1-3) is Joffrey Lannister Baratheon. Smug, arrogant, abusive, prideful, jerk, you name it, this kid is all those things and more.  I have...

Hopeless By: Colleen Hoover Published: December 19, 2012 391 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies… That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay buried. Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever. My Review: Another incre...

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten 2013 Debuts I'm Looking Forward To . I've said it before and I'll say it again....I'm am a book cover snob.  It's just the truth and there's no need to deny it.  So for my choices this week it mostly has to do with the intrigue of the cover.  The synopsis is like icing on the cake if the cover pulls me in.

The Sea of Tranquility By: Katja Millay Published: November 13, 2012 by Atria Books 448 pages Source: Publisher via Netgalley (Thanks) ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk. Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her—her identity, her spirit, her will to live—pay. Josh Bennett’s story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from his life until, at seventeen years old, there is no one left. Now all he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is synonymous with death, everyone tend...
