This post is dedicated to two of my very favourite book boys, from the very fantastic book called Mythology by the ever talented Helen Boswell.
Micah Condie
*sigh* what isn't there to love about Micah I mean its Micah :p. He's handsome, caring, sweet with a bit of a dark side to him ;) no pun intended. He's tall, blue eyed with tousled blond hair, he drives a motorcycle (yum factor right there) and something else that is divine about this beautiful soul is the fact that he can fly :O wicked right!! I mean who doesn't want a guy who is sexy as hell and can fly, can save you money on gas hahah. Not only is he pretty alluring on the pages but he's very entertaining on twitter. He's such a sweetheart on there you cant help but love him :), I think I'm the only girl who hasn't fallen madly in love with him thanks to his charms :p He's a good sport about it though :) he has a big enough fan base without me, after all it be weird if his BFF liked him that way :p
Jonathan Draper
*swoons and faints* Oh Jonathan *sigh* there are no words to even express how wonderful I think he is. The phrase tall dark and handsome completely suits him. He's slightly shorter then Micah but not by much. He has jet black hair with brown eyes that do this very weird flame dance when he's using his gift on you. He's very regal and old fashion which is one of the things I love most about him not to mention he's French ;) (yummy). His sense of humour is just epic lol you can truly tell he's otherworldly because of it. He's young in body but old and wise in mind. He's very proper with the way he addresses people and with the way he dresses, which is typically a suite and tie that is normally black. He's a wonderful soul but keeps mostly to him self, we don't get to discover much about him in book one. He has this magnetism I find that draws you to him, It could be do to the fact you know he's a mystery,that you wish to unravel or because he's good but with this darkness that surrounds him which intrigues you (good guy/bad guy complex lol ). I think the biggest reason I love him so much is because he is such a mystery and honestly when he first appeared on the pages I was already drawn to him and wanted to know who and what he was.
If you haven't already read Mythology by Helen Boswell then I suggest that you get on it!! Fall in love with these two and discover what team you are on...Team Micah or Team Jonathan..That is the biggest question of all!

Choices by Sydney Lane
Published 2013
Release date summer 2013
Fate brought her here, but will her choices destroy her dreams?
Quincy Priest made all the right choices in her small town, black-and-white life. But being perfect is tiring. So. Very. Tiring.
Wanting desperately to step out of her sister's shadow, Quincy jumps at the opportunity to attend college with her best friend. The quiet bookworm with family secrets comes out of her shell. But when Quincy meets not one, but two perfect guys, she has to make a choice. In doing so, she might forfeit the relationship she secretly longed to find.
Declan. Sweet, handsome, and perfect. He makes her feel cherished for the first time in her life.
Brody. Sexy, hot, and irresistible. He could tear down her carefully built walls.
Before she can become the woman she wants to be, Quincy will make mistakes. And suffer one unimaginable loss

Before she can become the woman she wants to be, Quincy will make mistakes. And suffer one unimaginable loss
I just have to say that I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to read this story before it was released :). For her first book it's amazing :) Trust me you don't want to miss out on this, or you may regret it later.
This story is one of those books that you can relate too in so many ways. Everyone of us faces our own demons, we all feel guilt, love, passion, friendship, heartache and lust. Sydney really hits the make on all the previously stated emotions. Her characters truly speak to you and make you see that life is worth every moment and you should live life to the fullest because you never know what may happen.
This book made me want to pull my hair out, had me sitting on the edge of my seat and it also pulled at my heartstrings. I went through so many emotions while reading this book, not only that but I went with little sleep for a few nights because I just couldn't put it down. She really hooks you and sucks you in with the prologue alone...after reading it you will go crazy with wanting to know what brought it about.
Not only is the concept of the story really good and well written but her characters are very real, their life and their experiences are everyday things regardless if they happened to you or not. I really liked Quincy, Jenna, Brody and Declan. We all have that one friend who is logical but brightens our day no matter what mood we are in and that's what Jenna is. As for Declan we all know that one guy who is so sweet and adorable and who is always there for you. Brody *faints* ugh I so loved him *dreamy sigh* he's your typical bad boy who has a good side to him. And last but not least Quincy the main attraction of the story. She like most of us girl, insecure, shy but very sweet. I loved her, she was one of the characters I felt closest to. I've felt most of what she's felt, I've been to the point where I've felt very guilty over the past but I mean who hasn't right? I don't typically like the main female lead but I genuinely liked her :) she didn't annoy me lol.
Over all I loved this book and would recommend this to everyone I know. I give it 5 star on originality, creativity and just the over all experience of the story line. I think all of Sydney's hard work really shows in this piece of art that she created. I can not wait to read more of her work!
It's a must read for everyone, it's a great read, just pure brilliance. I wanted to get to the end so bad but now that its over it's bittersweet, I can only imagine what Sydney feels :p I would be ok with a second book to this one hahah.

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…
* WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*
*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

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

Book description:
Set in the romantic and death-defying world of the international bestselling Die for Me trilogy, this digital original novella follows Jules, a brooding, immortal French artist who has fallen in love with his best friend’s girlfriend.
Jules Marchenoir is a revenant-an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save human lives. He’s spent the better part of the last century flirting his way through Paris, but when he met Kate Mercier, the heroine from Amy Plum’s Die for Me trilogy, he knew his afterlife had changed forever and he had found the love of his life. Until Kate fell for his best friend, Vincent. Now Jules is faced with an impossible decision: choosing between his loyal friend and a love truly worth dying for.

Until Kate fell for his best friend, Vincent. Now Jules is faced with an impossible decision: choosing between his loyal friend and a love truly worth dying for.
If you have not read her other books in this series you really need to get off you but and go to the book store and buy it!! RIGHT NOW!! * chases you to the book store :p*
These books are one of the most AMAZING books that I have read in a while, my god it just sucks you in so deep that even after you stop reading you still feel like you are trapped in the book.
I have been in love her lovely French boys since the first page, but I think I have fallen for them even harder now *Fans my self*. Vincent has always been my favourite, I mean he captured my heart right off the hop but I think my second favourite has jumped on the band waggon and stolen it from him.
Oh my Jules *sigh* I didn't think that he could make me swoon anymore but he has proven me wrong. Not a complete shocker that's for damn sure, I mean its JULES that in its self is an explanation hahah .What isn't there that's good about him *counts on fingers* 1 he's witty and a little bit pervy, 2 he's an artist, 3 he's gorgeous, 4 he's French, 5 he's secretly sensitive and last but not least he has a heart of gold. He would do anything thing for the ones he cares for even sacrifice himself and his feelings. Who in this world wouldn't want a man or a friend that had that much devotion, I know I sure would love that.
Amy has indeed out done her self with this novella, it gives us great insight into another character that people love, another point of view to the hole series which is just brilliant. Die For Her is the perfect treat for the anticipation for the next and final book in the series If I Should Die coming out May 7th. I must give this book 5 out of 5 for it's delectable perfection into the world of the brooding French revenant Jules. This store made me laugh and cry all at the same time, I can not recall how many times I wished to go into the book and hug Jules. I felt bad for him on numerous occasions. Not only did I feel terrible for him but every time I read Vincent's name, tears would spring to my eyes!!WHY OH WHY AMY MUST YOU TORTURE US SO!! I swear I had a book hangover after I was finished with it haha.
She has yet again left us wondering what will happen to Kate, Vincent and Jules!!
Is Vincent truly lost forever or is there a way to save him?
Will Kate ever find out how Jules really feels about her?
What will happen to Jules now once all hell breaks lose?
I can not wait to read the next book and find out what shall happen to my favourite book characters.
This was truly a compelling story of forbidden love and true test to friendship and loyalty.

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.
