Cover Reveal: Trust In me

It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

I'm safe in the company of her thoughts; I feel welcome, somehow. Understood. So much so that some days I mange to forget that she's the one who put this bullet hole in my arm.

I almost forget that she still hates me, despite how hard I've fallen for her.

And I've fallen.

So hard.

I am not a Warren fan. Although, here when he admits his feelings I can now help but go all gooey inside.

Waiting on Wednesday (19) Deception

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW! 

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father's death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington's army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.



But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland alive. 

In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.

I loved the love story in Defiance.  This blurb has me worried that Logan and Rachel will break-up.  I hope that is not the case.

They killed me. They healed me. they changed me.

The tiny seed, that kernel of distrust of the ones who'd made me, rooted.

Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill Kindle Location 137

"Liar," he accused, and lowered his mouth to mine.

He kissed me, and the circuit closed again.

His lips were soft and warm, and implored a reaction, challenged me to join in, to give in, even if only briefly, to the chemistry.

Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill Kindle Location 1880

Okay, I am with Merit here- if someone killed me, then healed me, I am not sure if I would trust them either. But then again, if that person looked like Ethan... I am sure I would have to kiss him.

Love can never die.

Love conquers all, so they say. But can Cupid’s arrow pierce the hearts of the living and the dead—or rather, the undead? Can a proper young Victorian lady find true love in the arms of a dashing zombie? 

The year is 2195. The place is New Victoria—a high-tech nation modeled on the manners, mores, and fashions of an antique era. A teenager in high society, Nora Dearly is far more interested in military history and her country’s political unrest than in tea parties and debutante balls. But after her beloved parents die, Nora is left at the mercy of her domineering aunt, a social-climbing spendthrift who has squandered the family fortune and now plans to marry her niece off for money. For Nora, no fate could be more horrible—until she’s nearly kidnapped by an army of walking corpses. 

But fate is just getting started with Nora. Catapulted from her world of drawing-room civility, she’s suddenly gunning down ravenous zombies alongside mysterious black-clad commandos and confronting “The Laz,” a fatal virus that raises the dead—and hell along with them. Hardly ideal circumstances. Then Nora meets Bram Griswold, a young soldier who is brave, handsome, noble . . . and dead. But as is the case with the rest of his special undead unit, luck and modern science have enabled Bram to hold on to his mind, his manners, and his body parts. And when his bond of trust with Nora turns to tenderness, there’s no turning back. Eventually, they know, the disease will win, separating the star-crossed lovers forever. But until then, beating or not, their hearts will have what they desire.

In Dearly, Departed, romance meets walking-dead thriller, spawning a madly imaginative novel of rip-roaring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, and macabre comedy that forever redefines the concept of undying love.

Why I fell so hard?
There is something so sad about this cover.  Nora looks sad, she is in mourning.  The coloring is harsh and upsetting.  I love it!

And the Winner is.....

Keller had a lot to make up for from Elemental Dawn. I mean, he was a complete jerk in it. I was very happy when he starts showing his swoony side in Elemental Air.

Waiting on Wednesday (18) Hover

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW! 

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

On Earth, seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander was taught to never peek, but if she hopes to survive life on her new planet, Loge, her eyes must never shut. 

Because in this world, pleasure is everything, held up by a ruling body that keeps their people in check by giving them what they want and closing their eyes to what's really happening around them. The only hope Loge has is to move its people to Earth, and they have a plan.

Thousands of humans crossed over to Loge after a poisonous neurotoxin released into Earth’s atmosphere, nearly killing them. They sought refuge in hopes of finding a new life, but what they became were slaves, built to wage war against their home planet. That is, unless Ari and Jackson can stop them. 

But on Loge, nothing is as it seems…and no one can be trusted.

Gravity was an interesting read. I want to know what happens to Ari now that she is changed.

I adore this scene. Everything about it is cute. From the popcorn throwing to Dawson actually acting normal. Daemon of course get super book boyfriend bonus points.

Ready to complete his last assignment in order to graduate, Ash is confident he will get the apprenticeship he wants. but when he opens the letter from the Council, he is shocked to discover he has been assigned to apprentice Lady Shenelle, Keeper of Happy Endings- aka the head fairy godmother. Ash is forced to grant three wishes to a troubled human girl named Kendall, and ultimately give her a "happy ever after." But Kendall turns out to be more than he bargained for. Still grieving over her father's death, she doesn't want anything to do with Ash. And worst of all, she doesn't believe in happy endings.

Why I fell so hard?

I love the font, and the wings.  The wings took my breathe away.  The sparkles add something to the book cover that made me just want to read it.

Review: School Spirits

Author: Rachel Hawkins
Format: e-ARC
Print Length: 304 pages
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion
Published: May 14, 2013

Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy’s older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Izzy and her mom move to a new town, but they soon discover it’s not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to prove her worth and investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. For a tough girl who's always been on her own, it’s strange to suddenly make friends and maybe even have a crush.

Can Izzy trust her new friends to help find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt?

Rachel Hawkins' delightful spin-off brings the same wit and charm as theNew York Times best-selling Hex Hall series. Get ready for more magic, mystery and romance!

My Opinion

(Thank you Hyperion for sending me an e-ARC through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)

Isolde and her momma are still grieving the loss of her sister. But Brannick’s aren’t given a holiday to grieve. After moving to a new town they discover a vengeful ghost is out for well… revenge. Can Izzy save the day before someone else gets hurts?

Izzy is a hilarious character to watch, having been home schooled her entire life. It was amusing to see her navigate the halls of high school, first dates and first crushes. Armed with only a TV series and the words of her almost friend Torrin, she sets out to do what she does best. Capture the paranormal baddie.

Izzy is someone you want as a friend. She is kind, smart and well she can beat up anyone who is bullying you. I enjoyed that she has the same self-esteem issues that other girls have but on a downscaled level.

There was not a lot of action in this book- which caused it to stall a little in the middle. Torin is a noteworthy character. He is supposed to be an evil warlock, but honestly he seemed more like a lovesick sidekick. I am hoping that his role will pick up more in the future books. The ending was a bit of a game changer. I would be interested in finding out how it plays out, if Hawkins were to write a sequel to this one.

Those that read this book expecting it to be like the Hex Hall Series are going to be disappointed. If on the other hand you read this book as a standalone book than you will be captivated.

My Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars

Favorite Quote “And quite frankly, I’m hoping the romance of Dexter and Isolde ends up with a lower body count.”

Other Characters

Dexter- new friend of Isolde, each other’s crush
Romy- Isolde’s bestie, head of the Paranormal Management Society
Anderson- member of the PMS
Torin- evil warlock trapped in Izzy’s mirror

He joined our hands to press a slow kiss to each of my fingers.

I raised my head, and he leaned over and kissed my lips. A heady mix of relief and love rose up through my body, stealing my breath and driving me to wrap both arms around him. The intensity of the emotions surprised both of us, and when we stopped to catch a breath, one corner of his mouth rose.

Oh Tristan!  He is totally a swoon-worthy!
