Heart on Fire

 Twisted Perfection is the first instalment in the Perfection series by the oh so very talented Abbi Glines.

Book description:

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…
                  

*Fans my self* wow just wow this book is WAY HOT. I know her books are meant to be spicy and mouth watering but DAMN *drools*. I haven't fallen head over heels over one of her books since Fallen Too Far. Don't get me wrong I love all of her books but man this one just sucked me in big time...This book totally pulled me out of my book funk that I was in, I couldn't put it down for one second. *yawn* ended up staying up way too late to read because that's how enticing and delicious it was. 

I won't lie but most books I read I can't stand the main female lead because they usually drive me crazy with their need to whine but this book had a very pleasant surprise :). Della Sloane was a breath of fresh air when it comes to female characters. She had a tough up bringing but she never let that bring her down which is admirable, most people if they had gone through all that hardships they would have fallen apart and lost it. When we first encounter her she's shy and very unsure of what she wants to do or how to act around other people. As the story progresses though we discover more about her dark past and why she is the way she is. Her growth throughout the book is touching, she fights her demons but doesn't get deterred and I think the may reason for that is thanks to her man :). I believe she will be able to fight off her demons :) I have faith in her.

Now as for Woods well if you are a fan of Fallen Too Far then you will have already encountered him if not then be prepared to listen to me gush about him *faints*. Since I've already had the pleasure of getting to know him a little in the previously stated book I already liked him. I mean come on who wouldn't he's tall, chiseled features, gorgeous body, sexy voice, dark eyes and not to mention he's super sweet and protective of the people he cares about. He's a very driven person whom works very hard for what he believes is right for him in life. Little did he know though that his life would forever change the day a shy innocent girl asked him to help her to pump gas(so adorable).I loved his cave man side when it came to the possessiveness of what was his (Della). I also really loved the sensitive side to him it was so touching.

Lets just say their first encounter with each other is very memorable ;) for the both of them. If you aren't used to reading books that are very descriptive when it comes to sexual events then be warned because this one has a lot of it and I mean A LOT. But besides all the mind blowing sex these two have it was really nice to see the characters change and grow together it was very heartwarming.

I honestly think Abbi truly out did her self with this book. It was perfection even if it had very dark and twisted aspect to it ;) yes I know what I just did there :p. I give this book two thumbs up and 20 stars ;) not possible I know *sigh* but if it was I would be giving it 20 stars. I used to like Woods I thought he was a decent guy but now I love him he's so amazing. I think he grew the most throughout the book. He learnt to let things go, he learnt to love and he discovered what was really important in life. I truly hope those two can face everything that will come at them in the second book.

Never Too Far is the second instalment in the Too Far series by the brilliant author Abbi Glines

Book description:

He had held a secret that destroyed her world.

Everything she had known was no longer true.

Blaire couldn’t stop loving him but she knew she could never forgive him.
Now, she was back home and learning to live again. Moving on with life… until something happened to send her world spinning once again.
What do you do when the one person you can never trust again is the one that you need to trust so desperately?

You lie, hide, avoid, and pray that your sins never find you out.

*sigh* This book will definitely satisfy your Rush Crush. You really get to see the soft vulnerable side of him for once and it just amps up his hot factor 10x over. So many times throughout this book I wanted to jump in there and hug the crap out of him. I have no idea what more he could have done to show Blaire he really loved her. I mean come on he was half a man when she left him..Mopey Rush was just heartbreaking.

Now as for Blaire ugh *pulls out hair* I actually didn't mind her in the first book but MY DEAR GOD she annoyed the crap out of me in this one. I wanted to jump into the book and shake her and tell her to grab a dang brain. Her pity party was getting on my last nerve, I understood why she had trust issues I don't fault her on that one bit but I mean he was trying everything possible to show her that he was there for her but it was never good enough for her *shakes head*

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy this book, because in all honesty I really did, just aspects of it annoyed me. It was an emotional ride that's for sure, it was definitely nice to see the different views from each character. I really enjoyed Rush's POV throughout the book but I didn't really care for Blaire's. To be honest I liked Fallen Too Far more just for the simple fact that it didn't frustrate me as much. Although on that note there where many more parts I truly loved about this one.

This book had many sweet and tender moments that will make your heart melt and might even make you cry a little.

Stay tuned for Book 3 of the Too Far series :) also you can follow Abbi , Rush and Blaire on twitter

Happy Reading everyone :)

I know this may sound really stupid and crazy to some people but I really don't care. Ever since I started reading books I've had a deeper appreciation for the authors and all the hard work that's put into making such great novels. Only recently have I truly discovered what authors really go through and there is no way I could ever do it :/ they are brave I swear. Being attacked because someone doesn't like your book and having to rewrite and do things that you know people will cry because its heart wrenching. There is no way I could kill off or say goodbye to a character that I spent so much time on. I get to attached to books and characters as it is so no way could I handle that lol. But enough about this , my whole purpose for this post is to thank some of the most amazing authors friends I have made :)

Dear Elise,

You are by far one of the funniest/perverted person I know lol but I love ever second of it. On top of that you are strong willed, open minded, determined and a bad ass with a caring heart! You are always there for the people you care about even if they are only tweeter peeps like Jazzy and I. I'm very lucky to know you and have you as a friend. I am also very luck to have had the opportunity to read your books( I will read two soon promise) they are fantastic. You have a bucket load of talent :). You are amazing and everyone is a little bit better just for having the privilege to know you!

Dear Helen,

You are so sweet and modest it's crazy( so going to have to change that one soon). You have so much talent its scary. You were the first author that I really ever got to talk to and right away I felt like I could tell you anything because of the person you are. You are bright, caring, spunky at times lol. You care deeply about people and that's a wonderful gift to have because not many people care about others anymore. I completely fell in love with your book and I'm dying to read number two but you already know that lol. You are a wonderful person inside and out no matter what anyone says. You have this inner strength about you that you may not even notice.

You ladies are the most epic people I know and I'm very lucky to know both of you. My life has been made better because of it that's for sure :). I think any book nerd would be happy to have friends who are authors, it's a dream come true for us :) Keep on rocking you two love you both xoxo <3

P.S
 Your characters are awesome and crazy, in the book and on twitter haha

Vendetta is the first instalment in the Amaranthine Blood series by Elise Valente.

Book description:

“The odd scent she’d picked up earlier, combined with this girl’s unnatural speed, suddenly clicked in her mind. Rage flooded her when she realized what it meant.

They've turned her, she thought as she followed the girl into the woods. They turned a child and set her loose to hunt her. Sick.”

When the immortals have an eternity, the games they play become more macabre. It’s Sanaan’s job, and personal mission, to see the game’s masters annihilated. After all, they are the same people who destroyed her life and all her hopes for the future, creating a monster with an obsessive need for revenge.

Vendetta is the first book in Amaranthine Blood series—the tale of a vampire whose only desire is to annihilate the Xul, once and for all. Sanaan thinks she’s got it under control, until the arrival of a stranger finds her precariously balancing on a knife’s edge between change and a descent into darkness. And there’s more going on in the fight than she ever knew—things that could change the course of the world’s fate forever.

When my friend told me about this book I was a bit skeptical, not because I didn't think it wouldn't be good but because I've been staying away from vampire novels. I had read to many of them when I was in my Twilight faze :/. Honestly now I'm very very glad that I gave the book a chance, if I hadn't I would have been really missing out.

Vendetta was definitely different from any other vampire book I have read. As I have previously stated I have read a lot of them! While I read this book I thought it had the Underworld, Moonlight vibe going on, for those of you who have no idea what Moonlight is, its a vampire show that used to play on t.v, it was epic!!. Anyways back to the topic at hand, this book was beautifully written, it was both intriguing, sorrowful and vengefully delightful. Her characters have a way of sneaking into your heart and messing with your emotions. You can not help your self but to love all of her characters, well minus the bad guys, you will automatically hate them!!

You will be so bloodthirsty after reading the first book that you will rush to buy the second one if you haven't already. You will have a craving to know what will take place in the second novel, how the bond between certain characters will forge more depth and how the battle between good and evil will end. Honestly its been a while since  I've actually liked a female vampire in any series who's as spirited as Sanaan. She is so unbelievably epic and so kick ass!! Her mood swings entertains the crap out of me, I laughed so much. I really loved her snarky comments she would make, she is quite the handful that one, but love her never the less.

One of the other iconic characters that you will love or will swoon over is Damon, he's so...I don't even know if there are words to explain how Fangtastic he truly is. There are no words in the universe to explain he's kindness, or his sweetness or his uber sexiness!! You will just melt into a puddle thanks to him hahah.

I give Elise's book five stars, for a world wind of epic vampness!!Don't miss out on this book really read it!!! Look for her second book Insurrection and on that note keep a watch out for the third instalment coming out this year either by the end of March or early April.

Of Poseidon is the first installment of the Of Poseidon series by Anna Banks

Book description:

Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen — literally, ouch! — both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma's gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom . . .

This book was definitely a twist on the whole mermaid, Poseidon, Triton and Atlantis mythology. Mermaids or Syrena people as they liked to be called in this book ( they take offense to being called mermaids) have always fascinated me. This book was quite enchanting, I loved the mystery of the story line and the love stories.

Emma is one tough nut to crack, she's awkward, temperamental and lovable. She's one of those characters you could easily bond with. Each person who reads this book could identify with her in some form. She's different from other people but she has no idea why, nor does she want to believe that there may be something special about her. Like most good young adult books the lead characters opinion always changes when the second main character pops in. Enters Galen, he's your typical YA hottie except there is one big difference, he's a fish out of water (literally) among the humans. He's socially awkward, seems standoffish , yet straight forward. His one of those characters that grows spiritually throughout the story. You can't help but fall in love with him!!, regardless of his lack of knowledge of our ways of life, in fact it's down right adorable *swoons*.

As the plot of the story develops more you really start to piece things together which is very exciting ( makes me feel like I'm smart for figuring out a big secret before very one else :p). I really loved how this story is told both in Emma's perspective and Galen's , it gives you great insight and depth to the story and the undertones of each character. I wish more books were written like this not going to lie.

I honestly couldn't put this book down when I started it, I finished it in three days (would have been done in two if I hadn't worked) it was just so imaginative and captivating. It made me feel like a little kid reading it but in a good way. Funny though I kept thinking about The Little Mermaid and the song Part Of Your World hahah, made me really want to watch it.

I'm very glad that I decided last minute to buy this book, it was simply divine. The whole book was beautifully writer, Anna did a fantastic job with this book. It truly makes you think about what may be lurking in the depths of the ocean ;). It also shows us to accept people for their differences, that we can get along if we simply just try. I give this novel 5 stars! It was phenomenal!

So I hope you enjoy reading this novel and keep an eye out for the second installment titled Of Triton. Can't wait to see how Emma's and Galen's story will progress. Can't wait to see if there will be more heartwarming moments and more jaw dropping moments along with ah ha moments too!

Mythology is a very creative twist on the supernatural world, written by Helen Boswell.

Book description:

Hope Gentry doesn’t believe in Fate. Born with an unusual power to see the dark memories of those around her, Hope just wants to be a normal teenager. But on the first day of her senior year of high school, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to a transfer student named Micah Condie. At first glance, Micah seems like a boy that most girls would dream about. But when Hope's powers allow her to discover Micah's darkest secret, she quickly becomes entangled in the lives of mythical entities she never dreamed existed. Was this her destiny all along? And will her powers help her survive the evil of the Demon Impiorum?

Mythology isn’t just for English class anymore.

I've heard so many of my friends talk about this book but I never knew what it was about. What pushed me to read it was my friend Nicole, she couldn't stop telling me how wonderfully amazing this book was. She also told me I was really going to love Micah, which she told me was on twitter. So because of her my curiosity got the best of me and I bought the book. I can officially say I am very thankful that I did.

Mythology is so unique and different from so many mythological or supernatural books I have read, and I read a lot of those. It's hard for me to even put into words how much I truly love this phenomenal book. It is truly one of a kind. I will for warn new readers like I was warned that you may experience mini heart attacks and the casual fainting!

Helen's character will completely compel you to keep reading until you think your eyes will fall out hahah! This book is so compelling , spellbinding and witty that you won't be able to get enough. This good vs evil, demons vs angels spin will overload your mind with new thoughts and opinions. My opinions on demons have changed thanks to the book, yours will too!

First off we meet Hope which automatically from the get go you come to know that she isn't like a regular teen. She has a special gift that she's not even to sure about. She's socially awkward , shy and normally keeps to her self unless she's with her friends. Her personally changes once the strange and slightly elusive Micah transfers to her school. He's the new hottie in school that all the girl gossip about. Right away Hope feels drawn to him, there is this strange sense of peace that surrounds him that Hope has been in desperate need of. While she may be drawn to the new boy he hasn't been blind to her either. He's very intrigued by her strange ways. Unfortunately he has some dark secrets of his own that he's not fully aware of. They are match made In heaven right?! :p Along the way we encounter some exciting and fascinating character that do influence the progression of the story but I won't devolve on those I'll let you be pleasantly surprised :). Another character we meet early on in Jonathan, he seems very withdrawn and otherworldly. You will later discover why he has his little corks ^_^, you will slowly start to love his character and his witty remarks.

All in all this book was beautifully written, Helen Is a very special and talented writer. You will truly be enchanted by this work of art, I was hence why it was hard for me to put into words how amazing this book truly is, you'll have to read it to understand what I'm talking about. I give this book 5 stars. I'll definitely be reading it again ^_^.

Helen is also currently working on the second installment of the series so keep an eye out for more, demons, more love and more heart stoping drama!!
