Starcrossed

The next book I will be buying! It comes out May 31, 2011 H elen Hamilton has always tried to hide how different she is—no easy feat on an island as small as Nantucket, and only getting harder as she finds herself haunted by hallucinations and vivid nightmares. It's not until she crosses paths with Lucas Delos at school that Helen's true heritage is finally revealed. Yet even as Lucas helps her awaken to her startling powers, they can never be together—not unless they can break free from the tragic destiny the Three Fates have in store.

Daimon by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Image
In this captivating prequel to Half-Blood, Armentrout does a beautiful job of describing Alexandria's view of the world as a half-blood. From beginning to end her beginning story gets us ready for the first novel, Half-Blood which comes out September 15.  All I can say is "OMG!"  I loved it! The story introduces readers to the main character Alexandria “Alex” Andros, a half-blood descendent of the gods, who, with her mother, a pure-blood, has been on the run for three years, hiding from the Covenant and from the daimons who exist on the aether of pure-bloods. The story gives us the insight through Alex's life as she goes through life after the Covenant. She has been running with her mother. We get though some descriptions that Alex has a crush on someone with his eyes! The Daimons, where very well put together and I love the novella because it gets us ready for the first novel.  I even cried at some parts during the read:) and that's not an easy thing

Anna Dressed In Blood

Image
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake    Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story. . . Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until his gruesome murder by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father’s mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay. When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn’t expect anything outside of the ordinary: move, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he’s never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, but now stained red and dripping blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and

Interview with Author- Jennifer L. Armentrout

Image
e-book  goodreads This is my interview with the lovely Jennifer L. Armentrout, who I think is one of the coolest authors. I recommend you pre-order her book Daimon: A Prequel to Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout Release Date: May 10, 2011 Publisher: Spencer Hill Press Genre: YA Paranormal T he Story: (from Goodreads) "Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee!' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards… and that she'll never be prepared for that duty.  According to her mother, that’s a good thing. But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex t

Love Story by Jennifer Echols

Image
Love Story Cover You can purchase this  here or on amazon   here   Pub. Date: July 19 2011 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group Format: Paperback , 256pp  Read on S&S Gallery Grab My Review I have read many stories/novels by the author, and I think I like this one the most because throughout the story we have the different views at which the main characters are trying to confess their love to each other, and they have soo much history with each other by which their parents have history. Echols writing gives us insight into these teenagers’ lives and experiences through college.  In "Love Story" we see the ups and downs of writing literature from Erin and Hunters class of literature in New York.  When reading their stories they explain why they hated each other for the past 6 years since her mother died and why they like each other at the same time, and reflect true stories of their lives in the story. I thought that through these readin

Sometimes It Happens by Lauren Barnholdt

Image
Cover You can Pre-Order  here Hey Everyone!!! On S&S Gallery Grab, I read Sometimes It Happens by Lauren Barnholdt. I was so excited to see that it was in there so I took the chance and read it pr I have read her other young adult books, The Night That Changed Everything, Two Way Street and Aces Up. All these books were really well written and are part of my favorite books. Sometimes It Happens was beautifully written and I loved the plot and the series of events that occurred throughout the novel. Barnholdt really does a good job with her story lines by starting off the beginning with the first day of school during Hannah’s first day of senior year and with each chapter we go from future to the past by the next chapter we find out that Hannah has been cheated on her boyfriend Sebastian with a end of the year party, where Hannah sees him kissing another girl while playing volleyball. So her best friend Ava and her boyfriend Noah help her through this part of the breakup betwe

Unearthly By Cynthia Hand

Image
Title: Unearthly (#1) Author: Cynthia Hand Publisher: HarperTeen Pages: 435 Summary ( Goodreads ) In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . . Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose , something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy. Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side. As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she&
