Armentrout Published: October 21, 2014 by Harlequin Teen 464 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads /  Amazon ) Summary: Every touch has its price Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting wha...

And don’t miss the sizzling Epilogue, where Abbi wraps up all the Sea Breeze couples’ stories! Trisha Corbin always knew how to hide a bruise. With her momma’s boyfriends unable to keep their hands off of her, she had no choice. And as long as it meant the guys wouldn’t go near her little brother, Krit, it was worth it. But her days of dreaming that Prince Charming would ever come rescue her are far, far in the past. Rock Taylor always had a plan. Through football, he would rise above the life he was born into.

Bad For You (Sea Breeze #7) By: Abbi Glines Published: April 1, 2014 by Simon Pulse 288 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Innocence was never meant for the addictive…   Addiction was something Krit Corbin accepted as part of his nature a long time ago. He decided to embrace it and flip his finger at the rules. Women had always been the number one thing on his list of addictions. He couldn’t get enough. Being the lead singer in a rock band had only made access to his favorite addiction that much easier. Being alone was the only thing Blythe Denton understood. The small town minister’s family that raised her hadn’t accepted her as their own. The minister’s wife had always made sure Blythe understood just how unworthy she was of love. When Blythe is sent away to college and given a chance to finally be free of living as an unwanted burden, she looks forward to having peace in her life. Being alone isn’t something that bothers h...

Welcome to the Wicked Release Week Blitz, hosted by InkSlinger .  Wicked is a New Adult Paranormal Romance by Jennifer L. Armentrout and is the first book in the Wicked Trilogy. Things are about to get  Wicked  in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost  everything  at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting ...

Misbehaving (Sea Breeze #6) By: Abbi Glines Published: December 17, 2013 by Simon Schuster 352 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads  /  Amazon ) Summary: An unexpected affair leads to mind-blowing harmony in this Sea Breeze novel from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines. Jason is sick of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he ships off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow off some envious steam. Falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. But as the new duo enjoys some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that even though Jax is the musician in the family, he’s not the only brother who can rock someone’s world. MY REVIEW: Abbi Glines does it again! And by "it" I mean a hot, contemporary romance story. She's the queen - sharing her throne with a few other of my favorite romance authors (Colleen Hoover to name one). Although not earth shattering ...

The Future Without Hope (The World Without End #3) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: November 20, 2014 by A & A Literary 258 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Separated from Finn, captive of the Order, Nurrin has no hope left. But she has survived twenty years of zombies--and she has the unshakable faith that Finn will find her.  But Finn is a long way away. The Order's influence runs deeper than was ever suspected, and politics are shifting--and zombies may not be the most dangerous thing she's facing.  Finn always thought the war stripped him of all he had to lose.

I thought this was the last book in the series but NOPE! It ends in a killer ...
