Feature And Follow Friday.


Q: Activity! Who do you want to be? If you could choose any character from a book. What do you think that character looks like and what do you have in common?


I would have to say Bella Swan from Twilight, (yes I'm a Twilight fanatic, and proud of it)!
We have a couple of things in common we both like to read and we both think that Edward Cullen is gorgeous!
Oh but I would make sure to smile just a little bit more than she does, I don't know what she needs to be so grumpy looking for!

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Betwixt - Melissa Pearl


Betwixt


Beautiful, wild-child Nicole Tepper is hit by a car and left for dead. But when she wakes the next morning, Nicole finds herself in bed without a scratch. Perhaps she was more intoxicated than usual, as her mother is giving her the silent treatment and her friends are ignoring her as well. 

Things take a turn for the weird when Nicole soon discovers she is actually hovering between life and death. Her body is lying in the forest while her spirit is searching for anyone who can hear her. Unfortunately the only person who can is Dale Finnigan, the guy she publicly humiliated with a sharp-tongued insult that has left him branded.

Desperate, Nicole has no choice but to haunt Dale and convince the freaked-out senior to help her. Will he find her body before it's too late? Or will the guy who tried to kill her with his car, beat him there and finish her off before anyone finds out?

Excerpt 3: "O.M.G. you guys, check this out." Penny grabs Amber's arm. "I just got a text from Milly." Everyone gives her a blank stare. "You know, the slightly chubby one who works in the office sometimes." Penny frowns. "I don't know how she managed to get out of class to score such a cruisy gig, but anyways." I move behind my friends in order to avoid an onslaught of human traffic as we weave through the narrow corridor and out into the quad. "Listen to this..." Penny holds the phone closer to her face. "Just heard convo. Nicole not at school. Mom thinks she's AWOL." The girls gasp and my chest tightens with hope. Okay girls, start piecing it together. I hold my breath.

This week I'm waiting on....

Shades and Shadows (The Divine Sins #1)

The world is not painted in black and white…there's much more hiding within the grays.

After moving to the small town of Uncertain, sixteen-year-old Marian Jones learns that her new home is haunted by a handsome Victorian ghost. His name is Samael Lowood, and he isn't the first ghost she's ever met. He wants Ari to find something called a Nanorian, one of three powerful objects hidden long ago.

But Reid, a tousle-haired boy with a knack for spilling demon's blood, wants the Nanorian too.

Pulled into a the search when her father is kidnapped, Ari discovers a world where Shades—vampires, witches, shifters, and those called the Cruxim—exist in disgrace. And when she learns the Nanorian is actually an ancient demon's heart, disastrous in the wrong hands, she realizes she needs to choose carefully.
Expected publication: September 28th 2013

Blood Bound

Starting college a year early is hard. Starting fae college and learning to protect the world from the Unseelie is harder.

Brielle Reed has always been an over-achiever, but this time she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Between her crash course in fae politics, struggles to control her new mind-reading ability, training sessions with the demanding Dr. Schwartz, and discoveries about the father who is still a mystery to her, Brielle finds herself longing for a chance at a normal life.

But she may not get that chance. Or chance at a life at all, for that matter.

Cover Reveal: The Girl With The Iron Touch (Steampunk Chronicles #3) - Kady Cross


The Girl with the Iron Touch (Steampunk Chronicles #3)

Finley Jayne, Griffin and their crew are stunned when one of their own is kidnapped. Emily has a way with machines—she can literally talk to them. But the automatons who abducted her aren’t ordinary machines. They’re almost human—and they want Emily to do something as horrifying as it seems possible.

To save Emily, Finley must contact the highly unsettling Jack Dandy and face her feelings for two vastly different men, even as Griffin’s nightmares threaten to turn into a reality that might just end them all.
Expected publication: May 21st 2013 by Harlequin TEEN

Cover Reveal: Antigoddess (Antigoddess #1) - Kendare Blake


Antigoddess (Antigoddess #1)

Back Cover Reveal And Blurb: Apollyon (Covenant #4) - Jennifer L. Armentrout


Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.
 
Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.
 
The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.
 
Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.
Apollyon releases April 9th, 2013

Blog Tour: Fade & Falling (Fade #1 & #2) - Kailin Gow, Book Reviews (175) & (176).




Fade (Fade #1)

by 





I give this 5/5.

Falling (Fade #2)

by 
What is Celestra Caine? Who is she and did she ever existed? The Faders and the Others clash at the Underground, sending everything into a tailspin. Celestra is pulled into more intrigue, more danger, and more romance, as she discovers who she is and why everyone wants to get her in Book 2 of the FADE series
My Thoughts...

After the heart-stopper that was the cliffhanger ending in the first book Fade we are taken straight in the action, at the exact same spot the previous book left us at.

There is so much action in this book, it is sure to keep you entertained, after the attack on the Underground, Celestra has been moved to a safe location, but with the disappearance and suspected death of Jack she is devastated, but she still has Grayson and while she's torn between the two of them she knows she has to keep a hold of her grief at least until they have rescued the head of The Underground Sebastian, whom was taken hostage by The Others.

So when they plan to launch a surprise attack on The Others at their headquarters , Celestra gives everyone a look at what she is capable of, and not everyone in The Underground are happy with the power she posesses, and may take it into their own hands to dispose of her themselves.

But what exactly is she? And more to the point will she find out the identities of the people working with her who want her dead?

Another fantastic addition to this series, I highly recommend everyone pick this series up.

I give this 5/5.
