Waiting on Wednesday


Title: Opal (Lux #3)
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: December 11, 2012

 

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

Just for Now (Sea Breeze #4)
 
Summary
 
The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.

The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.

He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…

There was this girl.

She was as innocent as he was tainted.

Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.

Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.

Book Review



Title: Ceaseless (Existence #3)
Author: Abbi Glines
Published: Published September 18th 2012

4.5/5 STARS


 

Can he make her fall in love with him… again?

When Pagan Moore proved worthy of Death’s devotion, he was given the gift of getting to keep her.

But Dank was never promised that Pagan would keep him.

When a soul is created, so is its mate. In every lifetime those souls find each other. They complete the other’s destiny. It’s time for Pagan’s soul to choose if she truly wants an eternity at Death’s side or if she wants the mate created just for her.

Dank didn’t think he had to worry about her choice. He knew where her heart belonged. Until he realized that every kiss, every touch, every moment of their time together would be washed from her memories. He would have to win her heart all over again and prove to her soul that he was where she belonged.

If only her soul’s mate wasn’t right there standing in his way.

Review:

   Ceaseless is the final book in the Existence series written by Abbi Glines. At the beginning of the book, Pagan's memories of the supernatural world from the previous year have been erased to help her make a fair choice. That means she doesn't remember Leif, Gee or Dank...

   Throughout this book, Dank fights for Pagan's love without letting her know about their past. Gee also helps out by hanging out with Pagan and making sure Dank doesn't do anything crazy.

   I found this book was too short compared to the others from the series. I wished the story was longer since it's the last one, but I'm very happy with the ending.

Book Review



Title: Embrace (The Violet Eden Chapeters #2)
Author: Jessica Shirvington
Published: September 4th 2012 by Sourcebooks Fire
Pages: Hardcover, 464 pages

5/5 STARS

Entice (The Violet Eden Chapters, # 2)
 

Violet Eden is Grigori - part angel, part human. Her destiny is to protect humans from the vengence of exiled angels.
Knowing who to trust is key but, when Grigori reinforcements arrive, it becomes clear everyone is hiding something. Even Lincoln. The only thing Violet does know: Phoenix's hold over her is more dangerous than ever.
The race to find the one thing that could tilt the balance of power brings them all to the sacred mountains of Jordan, where Violet's power will be pushed to the extreme. And the ultimate betrayal exposed.

Enticed is the second compelling book in The Violet Eden Chapters.

Review:

   Jessica Shirvington wrote another amazing book! Entice was better than Embrace so I'm hoping that means that her next books will just keep getting better and better.

   Entice picks up where we left off in the previous book with Violet and Lincoln working side by side. We meet new friends and old enemies. Onyx, now human makes a big comeback, and with his new identity, still takes part in the Grigori-Exiles world in a new way. Suprisingly him and a new character Dapper, keep making me laugh.

   Pheonix has changed a lot. In Embrace he was very sweet until we got to the end of the book. So when I started this novel I thought he was going to be this evil character, and he was. However, behind all of those crazy plans he has, I feel that there's something much more to him and that he isn't as evil as he's making everyone think.

   The romance in this series is messing with my mind. In the first book I was for Lincoln at first, then Phoenix, then Lincoln again. And in this book I was going back and forth between those two again. AHH!

  So I guess all I have to do now is wait until March 1st to read the third book.

  

SORRY!



I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in 3 weeks. The reason for my absence is that my computer broke.. Fortunately I got it all fixed, 5 weeks before they said it was going to be done.
