Synopsis

Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

WAIT FOR YOU is available now!

Format Hard Cover

Received Library Book (I feel quite happy that I took this out of the Library) 

Published October 2nd 2012 by Harper Teen

Goodreads/Amazon/B&N

Review~

*** So I have actually already read Unravel Me so I will try not to spoil any of that book but some of my opinions from Shatter Me have changed after reading it but I am going to try hard to tell you my first impression thoughts***

Shatter Me is one of the best books I have read in a while. I was quickly hooked on this book and series , quite frankly I found myself wondering why I didn't read it sooner!  Tahereh Mafi somehow found a way to make every aspect of this book perfectly amazing.

So when I first started this book I knew that it already had this giant following so I really didn't want to be let down by it.  When I first started it I was extremely confused mainly because at the beginning Juliette is in solitary confinement at an institution and we don't know why or how. Slowly the story begins to build and understanding comes. I was hooked. The one thing you will hear from anyone that has read this book is how excellent the writing style is. Not only  do the words flow beautifully but through out this series certain thoughts that the main character has that she feels aren't right or she shouldn't think that are crossed out. It really builds her character because everyone thinks things that they wouldn't act on or say, which doesn't make you a bad person. Or Juliette's quirky habit of counting random things was just cool.

If you think read one dystopian read them all then you are surely mistaken. Shatter Me is set in a futuristic world in which resources are scarce and so the world has become so bad that a new government was set up The Reestablishment. But The Reestablishment is not what it seems. So the part of Shatter Me that I love is that it has almost X-men like qualities Juliette's touch can kill someone if she touches you long enough. Which makes Juliette have a lot of emotional issues. 

Juliette gets taken by the son of the leader of this new government, Warner, to be used as a weapon but she meets Adam a soldier who knew her before she was in the crazy house. Long story short he is the special one who isn't hurt by her touch so love story ensues. I have to say that for me Adam wasn't the greatest love interest but I still enjoyed it, he definitely grew on me by the end I was in love. I just wasn't sure who Juliette could trust and who was being truthful which made this book so exciting. For those of you that hate love triangles Shatter Me is very minimal where as Unravel Me contain one. There is Warner but he loves Juliette but she wants nothing to do with him so much she tries to kill him. When read this one I didn't like Warner and he kind of scared me but he did grow on me in the next book a lot. 

I loved the characters in this book they were all very distinct and even the ones I didn't like grew on me eventually because I understood them so well. Especially Juliette at the beginning was a very mentally unstable girl then at the end she was so strong and able to stand up for herself. 

At the conclusion of the book you are left wondering how and when this rebellion is going to happen. And Unravel Me definitely has a ton more action than Shatter Me. You will be in love and fangirling over these books, desperately wanting more.

Have you read any of this series? Are you in love like me? Who do you love more Warner, Adam or Kenji ? (You will get my answer in my Unravel Me Review which is coming soon)

Review~ The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines

Title The Vincent Boys
Series The Vincent Boys #1 
Author Abbi Glines
Genre YA Contemporary/Romance
Format Paperback
Received Won
Published October 3oth 2012 by Simon Pulse
 Previously Published October 12th 2011 (through Amazon)

Book Description~
Get seduced by a sizzling account of attraction and betrayal in this previously self-published phenomenon.There was something wicked about Beau that drew me to him. What was wrong with me? Why did I want to sin so badly?

Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent. Sawyer is perfect, a regular Prince Charming, but when he leaves town for the summer, it’s his cousin Beau who catches Ashton’s eye. Beau is the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, and even though he’s dangerous, Ashton is drawn to him.

Beau loves his cousin like a brother, so the last thing he wants to do is make a move on Sawyer’s girl. Ashton is off-limits, absolutely. That’s why he does his best to keep his distance, even though he’s been in love with her forever. When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer’s absence, Beau knows he should say no.

Ashton and Beau don’t want to hurt Sawyer. But the more they try to stay away from each other, the more intense their urges become. It’s getting way too hard to resist...

Goodreads/Amazon/B&N

Review~

The Vincent Boys has been one of those hyped books that I wasn't sure if it was worth it. I was expecting not to like this book just because I am more of a fantasy or science fiction reader but I loved it. 

The Vincent Boys has a really fantastic love triangle which for some reason is something that people aren't enjoying lately. What makes the love triangle in this book special is that both boys represent apart of the narrator Ashton and she has to decide whether she knows who she wants to be. Sawyer is the good boy and the guy that Ashton's father who is a Pastor (I am not sure if that is the correct terminology) would approve of. Beau, on the other hand, is the town's resident bad boy. They just so happen to be cousins that Ashton grew up with. Beau and Ashton were always closer when they were young, up until Ashton started dating Sawyer. 

There was never a doubt for me that Ashton belonged with Beau. Beau was a fantastic character for me he was funny and brooding. I wasn't the biggest fan of Sawyer more towards the end of the book once people found out about Ashton cheating on him with Beau. I felt that what he did or really didn't do was horrible. But once everything was resolved and we got our happy ending I liked him again.

What I love about this story is that it is set in the south. As a native New Yorker it is always interesting for me to read about how different life can be in one country. The Southern setting to me just gives a book a different feeling examples Beautiful Creatures and All of  Nicholas Spark's novels.

The Vincent Boys has a lot of qualities that remind me of a Soap Opera mainly the fact of the real family connection between Beau and Sawyer. That to me was cheesy. Another thing that I wasn't a huge fan of was the reaped phrase that Ashton and Beau kept saying. Ashton referred to the part of her that wanted to be with Beau as her inner bad girl which said once isn't that annoying but over and over was just irritating. Other than that this story is absolutely amazing.

The Vincent Boys is an incredible love story that will leave you dying for more. You will definitely be wanting Beau to be a real life guy!

The city of Kersh is a safe haven, but the price of safety is high. Everyone has a genetic Alternate—a twin raised by another family—and citizens must prove their worth by eliminating their Alts before their twentieth birthday. Survival means advanced schooling, a good job, marriage—life.

Fifteen-year-old West Grayer has trained as a fighter, preparing for the day when her assignment arrives and she will have one month to hunt down and kill her Alt. But then a tragic misstep shakes West’s confidence. Stricken with grief and guilt, she’s no longer certain that she’s the best version of herself, the version worthy of a future.

Isabel Cruz was fifteen years old when she met Tom Stevens. She was 15 when they started dating, and 16 when she lost her virginity to him. By the time she turned 18 and went to college, everything had fallen apart. This hadn’t been an ordinary love, though. Not a love between two dear friends, or even high school sweethearts. This had been the most taboo sort of love there was: a relationship between a student and her teacher. Isabel started her high school career as a normal student, but set her sights on Tom Stevens as soon as she met him, and pursued him with an intense – and sometimes reckless – fascination. When he finally approached her after swim practice and told her that he shared her feelings, it was the start of a forbidden and dangerous relationship.

Review~ Open Heart

Open Heart

Simmi Shergill's life is a mess. Her powers of psychic feeling are on the fritz, and Grandon Township's sudden population boom has brought quite a few unsavory characters to town. She also looks like an over-blown balloon in her size 14 pants, but not even starving herself seems to be helping.

At least she has Alex, the boyfriend who loves her so much he'd do anything for her. Last summer, he even risked his life to protect her from the mysterious boy everyone was convinced wanted to kill her.

Just one problem: she's not so sure she feels the same way. Is Alex really the man of her dreams? Why can't she stop fixating on her would-be killer, Dax? Part of her wants to run screaming in the other direction whenever Dax is around, while the other part longs to run into his embrace, no matter whom she'd hurt or what she'd risk.

Simmi's loyalty is on the line. Whom will she choose—the blind seer who loves her, or the charming telekinetic with "bad idea" written all over him? Emotions run high in the tension-packed book two of the Farsighted series.

From an early age, Emlyn Chand has counted books among her best friends. She loves to hear and tell stories and emerged from the womb with a fountain pen grasped firmly in her left hand (true story). Her affinity for the written word extends to absolutely every area of her life: she has published three novels and three children’s books with plans for many more of each, leads a classics book group with almost five-hundred members, and, of course, runs the whole shebang at Novel Publicity.

The book that changed Emlyn’s life is Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crocket Johnson. It opened her eyes to the world that could exist if only she was willing to create it—a lesson she has never forgotten. While she enjoys all types of novels, her greatest loves are literary fiction and YA. She’s best known for her Farsighted series and is developing a slow but steady following for the Bird Brain Books. She’s eager to see how her women’s fiction novel, Torn Together, will be received by the reading masses.

Review~

Open Heart is the amazing sequel to Farsighted it too continues on being a different type of YA novel. This time told from the point of view of Simmi. As a girl I tend to find reading from another girl's POV much easier and I have to say that I liked Open Heart better. Maybe I am just a sucker for the romantic feelings that only a girl narrator would have. Not to be over spoiler filled Simmi and Alex are a couple but Simmi has an odd attraction to Dax. I know that as a character Alex wins the good guy race but I really liked Dax.

I still really enjoy the fact that this series deals with characters you don't normally see in YA which tends to make the YA genre very stereotypical. The Farsighted series has real characters that are normal and the fact that they are of different races makes it unique but at the same time realistic.

I think the Farsighted series is really great and hope you decide to check it out!

Published  January 22nd 2013 by HarperTeen

Book Description~
The past few years have held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.

Since discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods, Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California - and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that started her on this journey in the first place.

As Clara makes her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming, Clara knows she must finally fulfill her destiny. But it won’t come without sacrifices and betrayal.

In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.

Goodreads/Amazon/B&N

If you haven't begun the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand I would suggest doing that first before reading a head! I tried to keep this spoiler free but still I wouldn't chance it!
Check out my review of Unearthly!

Review~

Boundless is the final book in the amazing Unearthly series. It really was an epic conclusion to a series and I am truly sad it is over but conflicted over the fact that I want to be happy over the Happily Ever After that Clara the main character got. 

In this final chapter everything from this series got expanded upon and a lot of unanswered question you had throughout the series got answered. The abilities and magic that Clara had was built up even more than before. Especially from the last novel with her father Michael she was able to learn more about the angel side of her.

One of my favorite parts about this one in particular was Samjeeza and Clara's mother's relationship and it showed how he was still human. It was really heartwarming to read. It was like this for a lot of characters who I didn't expect to possibly learn about. Like Angela who did a lot of things I didn't expect.

Also I should have read the e-novella Radiant that Cynthia Hand published as a 2.5 it filled in the gaps between the Hallowed and Boundless which is the summer before they attended college. Which also points out how different Boundless was compared to the two previous books. They weren't in the same location and the characters were much more mature. 

Now onto the love triangle which is one of the major focuses of this series. Every time I  thought Clara was leaning one way she would do the complete opposite. Right up until the very end I had no clue who she was gonna pick. But I enjoyed seeing her relationship build up with Christian in this book. I had really liked him in the other books but they were more friends and the idea of him being a love interest was appealing as a reader but in actuality not there. We got to see them together in this book in a  really great way. Let's not forget about Tucker who is just cute and wonderful as always. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read Boundless yet but you will ultimately be happy with her decision whether you were Team Tucker or Team Christian. 

I cried so much at the end of this book not because it was sad but because it was over and I loved it so much. I think Cynthia wrapped it up in such a way that will touch your heart and leave you breathless. I wished this series could have gone on for many more books but I am satisfied at how it was ended and I can't wait to read whatever Cynthia writes next!

-Have you read this series? Did you enjoy this last book? I feel like so many of my favorite Fallen Angel/Angel series are now over! Unearthly,Fallen, and Hush Hush! I still haven't read Rapture or Finale I hate final books they always make me cry!!

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twntieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.
Lena looks forward to receiving the government-mandated cure that prevents the delirium of love and leads to a safe, predictable, and happy life, until ninety-five days before her eighteenth birthday and her treatment, when she falls in love.
