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!

Charlee is suddenly the sole caretaker for her little brother while their world falls apart.

Dexter couldn’t be more different from Charlee. He’s tattooed, avoids exclusive relationships and his Dad has a fair share of illegal dealings. With Dexter’s reputation, almost everyone believes he planned the Mason’s skiing disaster.

Review: Confessions of An Angry Girl


Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions #1)
 Rose Zarelli, self-proclaimed word geek and angry girl, has some confessions to make…

1. I'm livid all the time. Why? My dad died. My mom barely talks. My brother abandoned us. I think I'm allowed to be irate, don't you?

2. I make people furious regularly. Want an example? I kissed Jamie Forta, a badass guy who might be dating a cheerleader. She is nowenraged and out for blood. Mine.

3. High school might as well be Mars. My best friend has been replaced by an alien, and I see red all the time. (Mars is red and "seeing red" means being angry—get it?)

Here are some other vocab words that describe my life: Inadequate. Insufferable. Intolerable.

(Don't know what they mean? Look them up yourself.)

(Sorry. That was rude.)

Source: Publisher for an honest review (THANKS MiraINK! You rock!)

My Thoughts:

Confessions Of An Angry Girl is addictive and unputdownable but leaves a nasty aftertaste. 

First of all I find the title a little misleading. I didn't think Rose was angry for the majority of the book. She was rude and snarky YES but not angry in my opinion. Just saw the definition of anger

Having a strong feeling of or showing annoyance, displeasure, or hostility; full of anger.
(source: Google) 
Well, Rose was experiencing these emotions so she was an angry girl. I guess I just associate anger with violence and lots of screaming at people at all times and Rose did those things but not for the majority of the novel.

I liked Rose. She was snarky and sarcastic and I just liked being in her head. I loved the fact that she was a wordsmith and how every chapter starts with a new word and then she relates it to her situation.[I know WORD NERD ALERT is going through your head right now! I know :P]These are the best parts of this story and if I read the sequel it will be because of this.

What I didn't like was Rose's obsession with Jamie. WHAT is so great about this guy? I thought he was a jerk. 


Rose is also pretty mean to her friends. Especially a guy who has a crush on her. 
You don't like him but you don't let him off the hook either and you're obsessed with a guy who you haven't had a conversation with? 

I was really frustrated with Rose in loads of specific situations.Her friendship with Tracy is also weird. 

The weirdest part is the fact that I couldn't stop reading this book. I guess I expected Rose to rise above and come to her senses or maybe the fact that Rose was a trainwreck was weirdly fascinating for me and thus I couldn't put it down. I give props to the author for keeping me hooked though.

Overall, I might read the sequel but I'm not going to be dying to read it. Rose is an interesting character that fascinates and irritates me at the same time.

My Rating:
2.5/5

GIVEAWAY: The Things They Didn't Buy


The Things They Didn't Bury
 The war took everything. Except the truth. When Liliana and her family move back to Argentina after seeking refuge in the States during La Guerra Sucia, a lifetime's worth of wondering comes to a head, reigniting the search for what really happened to her mother, one of the thousands of los desaparecidos—the disappeared.

With the help of a young Flamenco player who saw the atrocities committed by the military firsthand, Liliana not only makes the devastating discovery of what really happened to her mother but by forcing open the country's old wounds as well as her own she also learns a disturbing truth about her origins that will reconstruct the lives of the people she loves most.

Seamlessly alternating between the voices of mother and daughter—one trying to survive the rising chaos of The Dirty War and the other sifting through its aftermath, The Things They Didn’t Bury is a novel about forbidden love and family secrets.

Gripping, heartbreaking and lyrical this is not a story about war or about the secrets still buried beneath its wreckage but it is a story about the things they didn't bury, intangible and infinite—love, truth, and family.

Review: Tempting is Hell

THIS BOOK IS FOR ADULTS



Temping Is Hell (Necessary Evil #1)
 WORST. JOB. EVER.

Kate O'Hara can't wait until this temp assignment is over. The woman who hired her is a psychotic pageant queen, her coworkers are convicts-turned-clerks, and it's so boringly corporate it makes her skin crawl. Even her sexy-as-sin boss, famed billionaire Thomas Kestrel, isn't enticement enough to keep her there. Once she makes enough to pay off her bills, she's out. Or so she thinks...

WHAT THE HELL?

Next thing she knows, she's accidentally signed over her soul. Literally. And she's discovered Thomas's real mission: to kill thirteen bad guys in one year, in order to get his—now his and Kate’s—souls back.

IT'S NOT JUST A JOB. IT'S A MISADVENTURE.

From learning to boost the morale of some paper-pushing demons to navigating her way through blood-red tape, Kate has to work closely with her super-hot supervisor and get her flaky act together, before somebody clocks her out—p permanently!


Source: Publisher for review(THANKS Entangled!)

My Thoughts:

The blurb might not be very enticing and confusing but don't let that stop you from reading this book! This book was a roller coaster.This is the first adult novel I've read form Entangled Publishing that wasn't just a romance. It had a great paranormal storyline with demons,onmiyoji's (not sure if that's the correct spelling) and a hot headed female protagonist who's not afraid to do what is right at whatever the cost.

Both the main characters were sketched out very well and there was ample character development. The world that Cathy creates and introduces us to is fascinating. The best part about this book is that it's told from both the main character's perspective. You know exactly why Thomas is doing something as well as what is going on in Kate's mind.

Kate's interaction with the demons were hilarious (in my opinion) . It was so much fun to see the bafflement on everyone's faces whenever Kate was in the same room as the demons.

What makes this book different is the fact that it can be classified under various genres. It's funny,has paranormal elements, romance, revenge undertones,suspense and I it can be classified as a thriller as well.Even though there are a lot of different elements the book manages to keep you entertained and hooked.

I loved the main characters as well. They aren't forgettable and have a lot of spunk.

This book was a fun,paranormal,romantic suspense and I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel! Why can't I find any information about book #2? 

My Rating:
4/5

Great fun!
