Sacred

A grieving girl meets a boy with mystical powers in this passionate love story.
Growing up on Catalina Island, off the California coast, Scarlett Wenderoth has led a fairly isolated life. After her brother dies, her isolation deepens as she withdraws into herself, shutting out her friends and boyfriend. Her parents, shattered by their own sorrow, fail to notice Scarlett's pain and sudden alarming thinness. Scarlett finds pleasure only on her horse, escaping to the heart of the island on long, solitary rides. One day, as she races around a bend, Scarlett is startled by a boy who raises his hand in warning and says one word: "Stop."

The boy—intense, beautiful—is Will Cohen, a newcomer to the island. For reasons he can't or won't explain, he's drawn to Scarlett and feels compelled to keep her safe. To keep her from wasting away. His meddling irritates Scarlett, though she can't deny her attraction to him. As their relationship blossoms into love, Scarlett's body slowly awakens at Will's touch. But just when her grief begins to ebb, she makes a startling discovery about Will, a discovery he's been grappling with himself. A discovery that threatens to force them apart. And if it does, Scarlett fears she will unravel all over again. 

 

 

 

Falling for You

Lisa Schroeder

Jan. 1st

 

Rae's always dreamed of dating a guy like Nathan. He’s nothing like her abusive stepfather—in other words, he’s sweet. But the closer they get, the more Nathan wants of her time, of her love, of her...and the less she wants to give.

As Rae’s affection for Nathan turns to fear, she leans on her friend Leo for support. With Leo, she feels lighter, happier. And possessive Nathan becomes jealous.

Then a tragedy lands Rae in the ICU. Now, hovering between life and death, Rae must find the light amid the darkness…and the strength to fight for life and the love she deserves.

 

 

 



Just a Quick Question?

Okay, I need some help. If you follow my blog you know I read Mysteries,dystopia, and vampires. I am looking for some contemporary YA books for my daughter. So I am asking you for your suggestion ? I will get the top 3 pick and review them. Please post below. Thanks

Sorry to say still on my book buying ban 4 birthdays and Christmas to get ready for in the next 3 months, but stillgetting books for my kindle just picked up a few.

Will Hunter is used to being the New Kid; Harrisburg High School is his fifth new school in less than three years. By now, he knows not to be fooled by the bright pep rallies, the wholesome jocks, the innocent cheerleaders. He knows the evil lurking underneath. It’s the same evil that took his dad eight years ago: the same evil he battles every day.

Natalie Holand’s life fell apart the night her sister Emily disappeared. No one believes her when she tells them what she saw: yellow and green eyes, glowing beneath the surface of the water in which Emily supposedly drowned. And Emily isn’t the only person to go missing in Harrisburg lately. The town is changing, not for the better, and Natalie doesn’t know why. What she does know is that, whatever’s happening, it’s bad, and the New Kid is right in the middle of it.

Because Will has a secret even bigger than Harrisburg’s, and there’s more to it than even he knows.

Sixteen year old Wisteria Kuti has two options—track the infected around the Isle of Smythe or leave the only known safe haven and face a world infested with flesh eating biters. But even with well-armed trackers, things go wrong and Wisteria ends up alone facing certain death, until she is rescued by the mysterious Bach. Uninfected, Bach is able to survive among the hordes of living dead.

Eighteen year old Bach, from a race known as The Family, has no interest in human affairs. He was sent here to complete his Great Walk and return home as a man—as a Sen Son. The Family regard humans as Dirt People, but Bach is drawn to this Terran girl, whom he has never seen before, but somehow knows.

Hunted by flesh eaters, cannibals, and the mysterious blood thirsty group called Red Phoenix, Wisteria and Bach make their way back to the Isle of Smythe, a community built on secrets and lies.



Now I have to start reading the books on my kindle.

Review: Darkfever

Darkfever

     MacKayla, Mac for short, is a 22 year old bartender from Georgia. Still living with her parents while attending a few if any college courses. Her happy-go-lucky life is interrupted by the murder of her older sister , who has been studying abroad in Ireland.

     Mac's family is crushed. Her mother tries to bake and clean the pain away. Her father takes a different approach to his pain and anger. Locking himself in the study and hiding. Mac is just in shock. Then word comes from the police in Ireland. There is nothing more they can do. Mac pack her bags and goes to Ireland. Thinking she will force the police to reopen the case. Then thinking she will solve the case.

 

     Mac soon discovers her sister was not the person she thought she knew, for that matter neither is Mac. Faced with a power she never knew she had Mac has to battle to stay alive long enough to solve her sister's murder and save the world in the process.

 

Review: Great book. This book has it all with a main character who starts off all sugary sweet and develops into a real bada**. I loved Mac's transformation in this book Pulse pounding action and an ending that leaves you wanting more .The mystery also brings you to the edge of your seat and makes you read more and more. Hoping Mac will solve the crime and get justice for her sister.

     I am going to continue this series to see how it ends and how the relationship of the two main character unfolds.
