Summary:



Imagine a modern spin on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein where a young couple’s undying love and the grief of a father pushed beyond sanity could spell the destruction of them all.

A string of suspicious deaths near a small Michigan town ends with a fall that claims the life of Emma Gentry's boyfriend, Daniel. Emma is broken, a hollow shell mechanically moving through her days. She and Daniel had been made for each other, complete only when they were together. Now she restlessly wanders the town in the late Fall gloom, haunting the cemetery and its white-marbled tombs, feeling Daniel everywhere, his spectre in the moonlight and the fog.

When she encounters newcomer Alex Franks, only son of a renowned widowed surgeon, she's intrigued despite herself. He's an enigma, melting into shadows, preferring to keep to himself. But he is as drawn to her as she is to him. He is strangely... familiar. From the way he knows how to open her locker when it sticks, to the nickname she shared only with Daniel, even his hazel eyes with brown flecks are just like Daniel's.

The closer they become, though, the more something inside her screams there's something very wrong with Alex Franks. And when Emma stumbles across a grotesque and terrifying menagerie of mangled but living animals within the walls of the Franks' estate, creatures she surely knows must have died from their injuries, she knows.

Cover Reveal: Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins



Drum Roll please................



........


..........................



....................................................!!!!!






Description

Anna Whitt, daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, 
promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. 
She’d been naive to make such a claim. 
She’d been naive about a lot of things. 

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, 
even if it means embracing her dark side and earning 
an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. 
Her life has never looked more bleak. 
And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, 
plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, 
Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, 
in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim 
and give them hope for the first time. 
It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna 
and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. 
Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, 
overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, 
and face the ultimate question: 
is loving someone worth risking their life?

Fascinated with ancient civilizations, seventeen-year-old Mia Crawford dreams of becoming an archaeologist. She also dreams of wings—soft and silent like snow—and somebody trying to steal them.

When a horrible creature appears out of thin air and attacks her, she knows Michael Fontaine is involved, though he claims to know nothing about it. Secretive and aloof, Michael evokes feelings in Mia that she doesn’t understand. Images of another time and place haunt her. She recognizes them—but not from any textbook.

In search of the truth, Mia discovers a past life of forbidden love, jealousy and revenge that tore an angel from Heaven and sent her to an early grave. Now that her soul has returned, does she have a chance at loving that angel again? Or will an age-old nemesis destroy them both?

Review: The Secret Year by Jennifer R. Hubbard





Summary:
Take Romeo and Juliet. Add The Outsi ders. Mix thoroughly. Colt and Julia were secretly together for an entire year, and no one?not even Julia?s boyfriend? knew. They had nothing in common, with Julia in her country club world on Black Mountain and Colt from down on the flats, but it never mattered. Until Julia dies in a car accident, and Colt learns the price of secrecy. He can?t mourn Julia openly, and he?s tormented that he might have played a part in her death. When Julia?s journal ends up in his hands, Colt relives their year together at the same time that he?s desperately trying to forget her. But how do you get over someone who was never yours in the first place?


My Review:

When I first read the summary of this book I knew I had to have it.
Romeo and Juliet and The Outsider are two of my favourite books. 
When I bought this book I instantly ran home to get started on it.
I had a feeling that this book would be one of those great reads.

The Secret Year  is a very small read about 192 pages so I turned my coffee pot on and decided to read the entire book in one sitting.

My first complaint is that you find out right away that Julia is dead. It was very hard for me to understand a character just by reading her letters so I felt very disconnected .
I felt that if the author took the time to write a little more and make this book a decent 300 pages she could have at least written Julia in 1 month before her death so that  readers have a better understanding and can realte to her character.

My second complaint is that this book is nothing like Romeo and Juliet or the Outsiders. I mean sure there are  similar story lines, but Julia dies and Colt doesn't and the town is divided into two parts the rich and the poor but i've read tons of stories like that who don't advertise thats it's like Romeo and Juliet or The Outsiders. I was extremely dissapointed in this read which is very rare since I normally love all the books I read. 

As I continued to read , I thought to myself ok its about a boy whos in love with a dead girl and this is his depressing story blah blah blah ....... but even Colt who in the begining of the book decided he loved Julia so much it hurt moved on to not one but two girls so really what is the point of this book???? 

The only thing I did like about this book is that the relationship between characters and the serious topics they touch on are very real and reltable such as not belonging or being gay.

I gave this book 2/5 bookmarks read at your own risk
