Book Description

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

SOURCE:  PURCHASED

Book Description

Publication Date: August 27, 2013

She is the greatest assassin her world has ever known.
But does she have the heart of a killer?

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. But Calaena is far from loyal to the crown. Keeping up the charade - while pretending to do the king's bidding - will test her skills in an entirely new way. And it certainly isn't the only point of confusion for the young girl. Because though she's made her choice between Dorian and Chaol, the ways of the heart are never simple...

About the Author

MY THOUGHTS

ABSOLUTELY LOVED !

Celaena has survived the salt minds - just barely - and the hate for her captors has grown with each moment, but her training as an assassin kicks in and she bides her time until she can get her revenge.  After surviving the championship through her wits and skill, she is now named as the King's Assassin and is sent on various tasks for the ruler but she doesn't let on that they are sometimes left incomplete since she covers her trail so thoroughly. She is bored by her work for the crown and has only contempt for the court but she is intrigued by the Prince and Westfall, her trainer and now friend.  

As she uncovers a threat to the Prince she also uncovers a horrible knowledge that the King is not exactly who she thought he is.  These stories will appeal to fan of Game of Thrones, with all of the battles and intrigue (although still safe for teens) and are quick reads.  For those who want stronger female leads, this one should be at the top of the list.  If you enjoyed Leigh Bardugo and Kristin Cashore, run to buy these now!  This one is full of magic, battles and to me a bit of clockwork.

Disclosure  I received this book from the publisher at no charge and in no way influenced my review.  If you are considering purchasing this book or anything else from Amazon, please use my link above since I earn a very small percentage of the sale which helps pay for shipping my giveaways!

Giveaway ALLUSIVE AFTERSHOCK by SUSAN GRISCOM @SusanGriscom INTERNATIONAL!

ALLUSIVE AFTERSHOCK by Susan Griscom

Book Description

Publication Date: December, 2013

A young adult novel about destruction, friendship, betrayal, and love.

What happens when a major earthquake changes life as you know it and the boy you thought you hated ends up saving you? Three times!

Courtland Reese is the guy everyone hates and makes fun of because ... well, he is weird. He communicates with animals. Strange or interesting, seventeen-year-old Adela Castielle can't quite figure out, but when he saves her from being trampled by her own horse, she begins to understand him a little better and wants to learn more about him.

But, Max--her best friend/dream guy/someday-to-be-her-husband-only-he-doesn't-know-it-yet--hates Courtland with a passion. Adela wants to know why, except neither boy is talking.

When Max leaves her stranded in his parents' wine cave with his worst enemy, Courtland, after what the experts are calling a "megathrust" earthquake, Adela starts to question her loyalty to Max as steamy kisses in a dark damp cellar only fuel her emotions with more conflict.

But does she really have time to worry about that when fire, destruction and mayhem surround her?

About the author


I daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play—a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course, I must blame it on the acting.

I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and tend to lean toward the unusual and spooky.

My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot.

Review CRASH INTO YOU by KATIE McGARRY @HarlequinTeen @KatieMcGarry

Crash into You (Harlequin Teen) by Katie McGarry

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2013

From acclaimed author Katie McGarry comes an explosive new tale of a good girl with a reckless streak, a street-smart guy with nothing to lose, and a romance forged in the fast lane

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life—that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers…and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker—a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks—no matter how angelic she might look.

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

About the Author
KATIE MCGARRY was a teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, and reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan. Katie would love to hear from her readers.

MY THOUGHTS

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

Rachel Young lives a perfect life, so perfect, in fact, that in her quest for perfection, she has an ulcer.  She feels like she is the replacement daughter for her more than perfect older sister who has died from cancer.  She is not the girly girl that her sister was.  She would rather be under the hood of her car and racing it.  As her parents push her to be more like her sister, the more she becomes sicker in trying to be something she is not.  The only time she feels like herself is when she can race her Mustang GT late at night while her twin brother covers for her.  With two more older brothers, she finds herself overprotected and suffocated by them. One night she just happens upon an illegal street race, something she has dreamed about.   The race turns out to be a literal bust and she meets a guy that saves her butt from arrest.  

Isaiah comes to her rescue in more ways than one when he hides her car and gets her home safely.  Isaiah, comes from the wrong side of the tracts and is fighting to make it through school and out of foster care.  He has a gift for auto mechanics and with the help of his teacher and employer, they try to get him into an elite program for mechanics.  Things are so stacked against him at time, it will break your heart. Of course, Rachel's parents don't want her to have anything to do with such a loser and it all comes down to a heart stopping moment.  

I might forgive the author for this, but I really thought it was the end and stopped reading, it was so emotional.  It took me several days to go back to this one and finish it.  I adore McGarry's writing and she can cut to the quick with emotions.  I don't know how she does it, but I hope she never stops. This is a true Romeo and Juliet story that will almost, but not quite, break your heart.   Parents:  This one has language, some violence and sexual situations.  If you enjoy Jessica Sorensen or J. Lynn, you are going to love this one as well.

    Rebels



 The world is on fire. From the ashes like a phoenix rises a new America, one that will save it all. Under one condition; absolute and complete surrender. The world complies without question. Those who don’t are destroyed. It is in this world, John is born. His very name is treason. If the New America, now known to everyone as the State, knew what John was, they’d kill him, but instead they give him a gift.

  Praise for Rebels John has a lot of potential (especially for someone so young) in that he sees the flaws in this society. He wants to be like George Washington and knows a lot about the manner in which a government should be run... Highly recommended. ~Amazon Review
