Opposition - Review

Image
Opposition (Lux #5) By: Jennifer L. Armentrout Published: August 5, 2014 by Entangled Teen 500 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing. MY REVIEW...

Armentrout ARC Thursday Review - The 100 by Kass Morgan This week was rather slow for me in reading and blogging. I'm still reading my way through The 100 , an ARC I received a couple of weeks ago. My usual posts were non-existent as well. Sometimes slow is good. I enjoy the no-pressure, "blog as I feel the desire", kind of approach I adopted last year for myself.  Thanks for ...

Play (Stave Dive #2) - Review

Image
Play (Stage Dive #2) By: Kylie Scott Published: March 25, 2014 by St. Martin's Griffin 304 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Kylie Scott returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to international bestseller  Lick.  Mal Ericson, drummer for the world famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast—at least for a little while. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job just fine. Mal doesn’t plan on this temporary fix becoming permanent, but he didn’t count on finding the one right girl. Anne Rollins never thought she’d ever meet the rock god who plastered her teenage bedroom walls—especially not under these circumstances. Anne has money problems. Big ones. But being paid to play the pretend girlfriend to a wild life-of-the-party drummer couldn’t end well. No matter how hot he is. Or could it? MY REVIEW: This is another fabulously enjoyable story to a hot series! The band members of Stage Dive are lit...

The Horde Without End - Review

Image
The Horde Without End (The World Without End #2) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: July 21, 2014 172 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon  $2.99) Genre: New Adult, Zombie, Post-Apocalyptic, Romance Summary: It was supposed to be over… Returning from Haven 18 was supposed to be the end. But nothing is ever easy—and in a world full of zombies, finding the missing is next to impossible. There are breadcrumbs. Tiny clues. But what are a few tiny clues in a world of the dead?  Nurrin is desperate to find her brother, but that will mean trusting Finn O’Malley. A man shrouded in secrets, who kills as easily as breathing. And the more she learns about him, the more questions she has. But she has learned one thing—the zombies are changing. Adapting. And this time, the Haven walls won’t keep them out. MY REVIEW: In book two Finn and Nurrin are trying to track down her brother Collin and her boyfriend Dustin. One clue left behind in their cave set...

*ARC* Sinner - Review

Image
Sinner (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #3.5) By: Maggie Stiefvater Published: July 1, 2014 by Scholastic Press 416 pages Source: Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: A standalone companion book to the internationally bestselling Shiver Trilogy.   Sinner follows Cole St. Clair, a pivotal character from the #1 New York Times bestselling Shiver Trilogy. Everybody thinks they know Cole's story. Stardom. Addiction. Downfall. Disappearance. But only a few people know Cole's darkest secret -- his ability to shift into a wolf. One of these people is Isabel. At one point, they may have even loved each other. But that feels like a lifetime ago. Now Cole is back. Back in the spotlight. Back in the danger zone. Back in Isabel's life. Can this sinner be saved? MY REVIEW: I hate when I can't remember enough information from previous books in a series and then I feel like I'm missing pieces that could be important. It's been a long tim...
