Title: Firstlife
Author:Gena Showalter
Publication Date: Feb. 26th, 2015
Publication Date: Feb. 26th, 2015
ONE CHOICE.
TWO REALMS.
NO SECOND CHANCE.
Tenley “Ten” Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl…who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she’ll live—after she dies.
There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.
In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, longtime enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms who will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she’s drawn to isn’t home to the boy she’s falling for? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision…

Top Ten Characters Books I Have Read In 2015
Meme hosted by: The Broke and Bookish
This one is kind of tough. I have only read about 30 books this year, 20 short of the 50 that was my goal. So picking 10 might not be easy. This isn't in order of best to worst, just in the order I read them.
1. Dead of Winter by Kresley Cole
It was one of the first books I read this year, picking it up the day it came out, but it was by far the best. I love this series and I love Cole's writing style. It is beautiful and I can't wait until the next book.
2. Magnolia by Kristi Cook
This one surprised me. I picked it up after seeing Thoughts of Tomes review on youtube, just because I needed something to read. It was great. It is beautifully written and I loved the story and the characters!
3. The Young Elites
I listened to this book while I was on light duty for work. It was amazing, but I think it was the audio that made it so great for me. If you haven't read this book, or even if you have, I suggest getting the audiobook to go along with it.
4.After by Anna Todd
This book was my downfall, reading wise. After reading this book I HAD to go check it out of wattpad. While I was there I ended up reading more fanfiction and got sucked in. But this book is one of my favorite books period.
5. The Deal by Elle Kennedy
Words can't explain how much I love this book.
6. Frostfire by Amanda Hocking
This is one of the best YA series I have read. The writing is amazing and the story keeps you plowing through all three books.
7, 8, 9. 2B Trilogy by Ann Aguirre
I read this complete series, so I guess this goes for 7 8 and 9. They were all equally great.
10. The Book Of Ivy
This is the book I have read most recently, but it has to be the best YA book I have read all year, apart from the Kanin Chronicles.

Title: Ugly Love
Author:Colleen Hoover
Author:Colleen Hoover
When Tate Collins meets
airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They
wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only
thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction.
Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the
perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so
that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly
seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for
her.
Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.
They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.
Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

Auburn Reed has her
entire life mapped out. Her goals are in sight and there’s no room for
mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a
job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic
artist who works there, Owen Gentry.
For once, Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover Owen is keeping major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.
The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can’t seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin

The Book of Ivy Review
12/11/15
Title: The Book of Ivy
Author: Amy Engel
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Publisher: Entangled Teen
After a brutal nuclear
war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of survivors
eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which
family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years
later, peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the
losing side to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual.
This year, it is my turn.
My name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the president’s son—my soon-to-be husband—and restore the Westfall family to power.
But Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or he’s not the cruel, heartless boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the only one who can restore the Westfall legacy.
Because Bishop must die. And I must be the one to kill him…

Entangled Teen Wishlist
12/10/15
There are SO MANY good books from Entangled Teen, but I have narrowed my wishlist down to five. And they are the following:
Now, I am only on Opal, but I LOVE this series and the author. I have read several books by her and she is simply amazing, though I can never put my finger on why. This book is told from Deamon's POV during the first book.
I am actually currently reading The Book of Ivy and I really am enjoying it. I know once I finish I won't be able to wait to pick up the next book!
I haven't heard anything about this book. I found it while looking at the Entangled Teen website and looked it up and it sounds amazing!
I love mental health issues, which this book is labeled on Goodreads. It also sounds like a mystery.
A kickboxer gets to be a stunt double? Yes, please! Kickboxing is something I love and I also love seeing the other side of fame. So this book is bound to be great.
1. Oblivion by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Alice in Zombieland Review!
10/31/15
Title: Alice in Zombieland
Author: Gena Sowlater
She won't rest until she's sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. But that's all it takes. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real.
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn't careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies.

So this is a 3.5
stars for me.
I am going to be honest, here. I seriously considered putting
this book down during the first 150 pages. In my opinion, those were eye
rolling worthy. I thought we were headed toward an insta-love situation.

Publication Date: October 13th, 2015
Riley Vasquez is haunted by the brutal murder of the couple she was babysitting for.
Max Cross is suffering under the shadow of a life-altering diagnosis he doesn’t dare reveal.
The last thing either of them wants is to spend a weekend away at a therapy camp alongside five other teens with “issues.” But that’s exactly where they are when three masked men burst in to take the group hostage.
The building has no windows. The exits are sealed shut. Their phones are gone. And their captors are on a killing spree.
Riley and Max know that if they can’t get out, they’ll be next—but they’re about to discover that even escape doesn’t equal freedom.
Why I Am Waiting...
I love Kelley Armstrong! This book is so different than anything I have read by her, though, so I really want to see how she does with something like this.

Top Ten Books On My Fall To-Be-Read list
Meme hosted by: The Broke and Bookish
Not going to lie, A LOT of these books are books from last years list that I never got around to!
1.The Fall
This was number one on my TBR LAST time I did this TTT and it is still here. I actually picked it up and had to put it down. I picked it up again during the summer, but it is NOT a summer read. So I want to get to it this fall, because if I remember right, what I did read was really good!
2. Enshadowed
I loved the first book so much. It has to be, hands down, my top five favorite ever. And I had this book and was planning to dive in right after, but never did. I picked up another book and this got pushed to the side. And here I am, a year later, and still haven't read it. Hopefully I will get to this one and Oblivion in October.

Between Now and Never Blog Tour

Between Now and Never by Laura Johnston
Buh boom, buh boom.
My heart thrusts with a force that takes me by surprise. Telling me something I don’t understand. A splitting pain, a longing to slip back under. They tell me I was in a hit-and-run, but I can’t remember what happened that night. All I know is that I woke up with pictures in my pocket, a card from one of those photo booths in the mall. And I’m in the pictures. Cody Rush. Me and…
Julianna.
Her brother was there that night, and my dad, the FBI agent, was the one who put her mom behind bars. What’s the connection? And why won’t Julianna talk to me now? Somehow, she holds the key to it all, and getting close–real close—to her for the answers I need will be no hardship at all…
Excerpt —
JULIANNA
We
listen to the monotone voice reel off instructions. Four pictures. A
light will flash before each picture is taken. Etcetera. How I ended up
in this position I’m not sure. We both sit, staring at our reflections
on the dark plastic and, no doubt, both stuck on the same thought that
crosses everyone’s mind when they’re on this seat.
“Quick,” I say, “what should we do?”
A flash of light. Picture one down. Both of our mouths were hanging open, blank stares straight ahead.
We burst into laughter and can’t stop. A second flash. Picture number two: both of us laughing.
Our
gazes meet and we pull ourselves together, his eyes never veering from
mine. He leans toward me, coming halfway before pausing, his eyes
seeking permission. I regard him with equal parts terror and
anticipation, the intimacy of the situation whispering a thrill. He
closes the distance between us and glides his nose through my hair. My
heart rattles around as though this is the first boy I’ve ever been
close to.
“Now
smile,” he whispers into my ear. Even if I should be creeped out,
forget it. My cheeks burn despite myself and I feel the corners of my
lips tugging upward. A flash of light signals the third picture and I am
totally seduced.

The Body Institute Cover Reveal!
3/24/15
The
Body Institute
by Carol Riggs
Release
Date: 09/01/15
Entangled
Teen
Summary
from Goodreads:
Meet Morgan
Dey, one of the top teen Reducers at The Body Institute.
Thanks to
cutting-edge technology, Morgan can temporarily take over
another girl’s body, get her in shape, and then return to her own body—leaving her
client slimmer, more toned, and feeling great. Only there are a few catches...
For one,
Morgan won’t remember what happens in her “Loaner” body. Once
she’s done, she won’t recall walks with her new friend Matt, conversations with
the super-cute Reducer she’s been text-flirting with, or the uneasy feeling she
has that the director of The Body Institute is hiding something. Still, it’s
all worth it in the name of science. Until the glitches start...
Suddenly,
residual memories from her Loaner are cropping up in Morgan’s mind.
She’s feeling less like herself and more like someone else. And when protests
from an anti–Body Institute organization threaten her safety, she’ll have to
decide if being a Reducer is worth the cost of her body and soul...
