Title: Dare you to (Pushing the Limits #2)
Author: Katie McGarry
Release Date: May 21, 2013

 

Summary

 

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

Title: Opal (Lux #3)
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: December 18, 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

Sorry!

Title: Finale
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Published: October 23rd 2012 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Pages: Hardcover, 454 pages

 

Will love conquer all?

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

Review:

 

In the last installement of the Hush Hush series, Finale picks up right where we left off in Silence. With the death of Hank Millar, Nora has to go through with her oath of leading the Nephilim's army into war against the fallen angels, or she dies along with her mother.

Too many feelings! I feel Like my heart exploded. I tried my hardest to not finish the book too quickly since in is the last one in the series, but of course that was impossible.

Nora has definitely grown since the first novel. She now fights for herself instead of needing protection, wwhich I love. And let's not forget about her and Patch... unf. Unfortunately we did not have many steamy moments (I wish we did), but those that we did have... unf. Their love is beautiful and passionate, I just love it.

This book was breathtaking. The end was sweet (except for a minor detail for one of our beloved friend) and I thing Becca Fitzpatrick ended her series in the right way.

To want what you’re not supposed to have…

She is only nineteen.

She is his new stepfather’s daughter.

She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.

But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.

Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…

Author: Becca Fitzpatrick

 

"His eyesight must have put mine to shame, because while every now and then I tripped over logs, lost my footing in natural potholes, and smacked my head on low-hanging branches, he navigated the terrain with flawless accuracy. Each and every time I heard his taunting chuckle of amusement, I jumped back on my feet, determined to shove him off a steep slope the first chance I got." (95)

 

"Patch and I wandered deeper into the house, winding through hallways and rooms, trying to find a secluded corner. At last he pulled me into the powder room, kicked the door shut, and locked it." (234)

Title: Whispers at Moonrise (Shadow Falls #4)
Author: C.C. Hunter

Pages: Paperback, 400 pages

4/5 STARS

 

Shadow Falls Camp is back in session with the most explosive installment yet. A shocking new threat will rock Shadow Falls—changing it forever and altering Kylie’s journey in ways she never imagined.



Even at a camp for supernatural teens, Kylie Galen has never been normal. Not only can she see ghosts, but she doesn’t seem to belong to any one species—she exhibits traits from them all. As Kylie struggles to unlock the secrets of her identity, she begins to worry that Lucas will never be able to accept her for what she is, and what she isn’t…a werewolf. With his pack standing in their way, Kylie finds herself turning more and more to Derek, the only person in her life who’s willing to accept the impossible.



As if life isn’t hard enough, she starts getting visits from the ghost of Holiday, her closest confidante. Trouble is, Holiday isn’t dead…not yet anyway. Now Kylie must race to save one of her own from an unseen danger before it’s too late—all while trying to stop her relationship with Lucas from slipping away forever. In a world of constant confusion, there’s only one thing Kylie knows for sure. Change is inevitable and all things must come to an end…maybe even her time at Shadow Falls.

The breathtaking fourth installment of the New York Times bestselling Shadow Falls series from author C. C. Hunter...Whispers at Moonrise.

Review:

   Kylie's supernatural identity has finally been unravelled, now all she has to do is learn how to control her changes and her powers.

   A new ghost has shown up and she ressembles exactly like Holiday. What does it mean? With the help of Derek and Burnett, Kylie finds out the truth of the next mystery.

   This love triangle is driving me crazy. I'm team Lucas because I feel the relationship between Derek and Kylie is more brother and sister. Whereas between her and Lucas is definitely more passionate, but I feel as if C.C. Hunter really wants Derek to win so she keeps making Lucas messing up, which he REALLY did at the end of the book.

   Kylie finally got to meet her grandfather, but with the reunion Kylie was told she had to make a hard choice. Her choice at the end made me cry since everyone became really upset. *Sigh* Now I must wait for the next and final book of the Shadow Falls series.
