'BRANDED' BY ABI & MISSYREVIEW & INTERVIEW

5/29/2014

6 Comments

 

Fifty years ago the Commander came into power and murdered all who opposed him. In his warped mind, the seven deadly sins were the downfall of society. He created the Hole where sinners are branded according to their sins and might survive a few years. At best. 
Now LUST wraps around my neck like blue fingers strangling me. I’ve been accused of a crime I didn’t commit and now the Hole is my new home. 
Darkness. Death. Violence. Pain. 
Now every day is a fight for survival. But I won’t die. I won’t let them win.
The Hole can’t keep me. The Hole can’t break me. 
I am more than my brand. I’m a fighter. 
My name is Lexi Hamilton, and this is my story.

'UNBREAKABLE' BY ELISA DANE REVIEW AND NEWS

5/23/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Perception is everything to sixteen-year-old Olivia Brown. With her freakishly hot boyfriend, volunteer work at the local animal shelter, successful beauty channel on YouTube, and well-earned spot on X Factor Cheer's elite level five Diamond Girl team, Livvie's the girl every other girl wants to be. At least, that's the illusion she's aiming for. 

But Livvie's seemingly perfect life is anything but. Lying about the bruises her boyfriend gives her, and cowering beneath his raging temper becomes a regular way of life until she unwittingly witnesses her drunken neighbor beating his step-son, the town bad boy, Reid Tate.

For Reid, vulnerability is the enemy. Opening up, and letting people in gives them the power to disappoint. Growing up with a co-dependent mother and an abusive alcoholic father, Reid has endured all the disappointment he can stomach. 

But when his pretty, do-good neighbor witnesses his step-dad beat him to within an inch of his life, and not only call the cops, but keeps quiet at school about what she saw, Reid wonders if maybe, just maybe, he's found someone he can finally trust.

EX-FACTOR- Elisa Danes REVIEW & INTERVIEW

5/8/2014

1 Comment

 
Nevaeh Evan’s life is uprooted after her father’s death, when she moves in with her aunt and cousin, Livvie. Her plan to lay low at her new high school isn’t working. Her friend’s jerky boyfriend keeps asking her out, the guy she likes treats her like garbage, and the thought of tumbling again makes her want to hurl. 

So when her aunt pushes her into joining the elite X-FACTOR cheer leading squad, Navaeh goes along with it. 

But Nev feels she doesn’t deserve to be happy. Not after what happened the night her father died.

Bodie Scott knows about grief all too well. Critically injured in an alcohol related accident the year before, Bodie struggles with the fact that he’ll never play football again, and he’s so far behind in credits he can’t see straight. That is, until he meets Nev. Haunted by their bloody pasts and wary of a shared future, Nev and Bodie turn to one another for comfort and support, and realize they’re not so alone after all. And when the party scene at school threatens the life of a loved one, the two stop at nothing to keep the past from repeating itself.

ONE MOMENT BY KRISTINA MCBRIDE REVIEW

5/1/2014

Picture
It was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie's life. Now it's the one she'd do anything to forget. 

Maggie remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after the party the night before. She remembers climbing the path hand in hand with her perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss-soft, lingering, safe. So why can't she remember what happened next?

All it takes is ONE second for everything to change. One MOMENT to realise that it's the people you love who hurt you the most. 

Review by Charli-Valentine
I picked up this book a few months ago after my friend and I absolutely fell in love with the front cover, and - not judging a book by it's cover - the story just sounded to compelling I had to buy it. And it was just a breathtaking read!

SPLIT SECOND BY SOPHIE MCKENZIE SPOILER-FREE REVIEW

4/25/2014

Picture
Bound together by the devastating consequences of a terrorist attack on a London market, teenagers Charlie and Nat appear at first to have much in common. But, as Charlie gets closer to Nat and his family, she begins to wonder if perhaps he knows more about the attack then he has let on. 

Split Second is a an action-packed thriller that shifts between the perspectives of its two main characters as their courage and their loyalties are tested to the limit.
 

I have never been a huge fan of action novels but Sophie Mckenzie has never failed to keep me hooked on her series and SPLIT SECOND had me gripped from the very first chapter! 

SPLIT SECOND is split into three parts. Part One Investigation takes place six months after we read the events of the day of the attack. Part Two Initiation and Part Three Infiltration. You are thrown straight into the action and, without giving too much away, it doesn't stop.

UNDONE CAT CLARE - REVIEW

Picture
Jem Halliday is in love with her gay best friend. Not exactly ideal, but she's learning to live with it. 


Then the unspeakable happens. 
Kai is outed online... and he kills himself.


Jem knows nothing she can say or do will bring him back. But she wants to know who was responsible. And she want to take them down...

Review by Charli-Valentine

Another hear trenching, tear jerking, incredible novel from the wonderful author that is Cat Clarke. 

UNDONE is a novel based around a teenage girl, Jem and her life after her best friend Kai kills himself when he is outed in the worst possible way online, for being gay. Kai is Jem's only friend so when he leaves her she has to learn to be in a world without him, only she doesn't know if she can...

Clarke is a master at writing novels that deal with the dark and gritty side of life but somehow in UNDONE she shows the light through it too, and even though this book covers a subject that a lot of people like to avoid, I found myself laughing and blushing as well as crying and gasping.
