Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

 

Isn't the cover just so bloody gorgeous?!? When I first saw it I was like WHOA and I sincerely hoped the instead was just as breathtaking. And you know what? It was everything I hoped for and more.

SWEET PERIL has got to be one of the most strongest sequels out there. Just when you think that it couldn't possibly top SWEET EVIL, it just continues to prove you wrong. I honestly don't really have anything negative to say about this sequel, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The awesome characters, the swoonworthy Kai(!!!), the whole Neph thing, everything just came together for me and this Sweet series is now right there at the top with my favourite paranormal YA series.

Now, let's talk about my future husband, Kaidan. *fans self* This guy couldn't get hotter. Yes, he was an absolute dick in the first half (so heartbreaking by the way), but he was only doing all those things to protect Anna. Normally, I would have rolled my eyes at that, but not with Kai. Everything he has ever done was with a valid reason, and we might not like it, but we get why. We don't really get to see him that much in the first half, but OH BOY THE SECOND HALF KILLED ME WITH THE SCENES OF KAI. He soooo redeemed himself at the end, and I here I thought I couldn't love him more.

While I was indifferent to Anna in SWEET EVIL, she totally won me over in SWEET PERIL. Yes, she's still the smart, good girl, but she has changed a lot. She's now stronger, more capable of taking care of herself, but overall she's just a normal girl with a very big big big heart. She also didn't annoy me as much (I got so annoyed with her crying in the first book) and I couldn't help rooting for her and Kai.

Before starting this, I was dreading the thought of the love triangle. Now THIS, THIS IS A LOVE TRIANGLE DONE RIGHT. That is, if you want to call it a love triangle. To me personally, it wasn't a love triangle. Anna knew right from the very beginning who her heart belongs to and doesn't try to lead the other guy. HURRAY! I do love Kope (such a sweetie) but come on, no one can beat Kai. ;)

The Nephilim aspect is one that you wouldn't normally see in the other YA angels/demons stories out there. To me, this series is totally unique and one (if not, the) best out there. I just adore the whole idea of it, and I'm dying for SWEET RECKONING to come out! The ending of this book is just perfect.

This just has the perfect blend of action and romance and just ahhhh everything. I love the whole journey Wendy took us in SWEET PERIL, and how she got us all invested in her characters. I would love to see more of Blake in the next book, please! :)

The Summer I Became A Nerd (GUEST POST AND GIVEAWAY)

Blog Tour: The Summer I Became A Nerd - Leah Rae Miller (Guest Post and Giveaway)

THE SUMMER I BECAME A NERD

Author: Leah Rae Miller

Release Date: May 7th 2013

Publisher:  Entangled Teen

Genres: YA, Contemp

Pages: 276

 

On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.

Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

 

 

:- GUEST POST BY AUTHOR Leah Rae Miller -:

 

What sort of research did you have to do for The Summer I Became a Nerd?

 

 

Ah, research. Sometimes it can be fun, sometimes it can be boring, and sometimes it can get you put on FBI watch lists. For The Summer I Became a Nerd, research was a breeze. Mainly because I already have extensive knowledge of nerdy things. Sure there were times when I needed to Google some comic book characters’ real names or an artist’s name, but for the most part I already knew it all.

 

My brother was an invaluable resource, too.

Actual conversation: Me: “Who is Wolverine’s arch nemesis, would you say?”

Him: “Sabertooth.”

Me: “Real name?”

Him: “Victor Creed.”

Me: “That won’t work. Give me someone else.”

And on and on it would go until we would get completely off topic and start geeking out about the up-coming summer blockbusters.

 

LARP is something I’m pretty familiar with, too. I’ve done my fair share of it. Particularly Vampire: The Masquerade. Some of the most fun times I’ve ever had was getting all dolled up to go play Vampire with a big group of friends. I almost went to a couple of games that were still going on here in town, but just never got around to it. I joined one of the Facebook pages for it and every once in a while there would be a lively conversation about characters or powers that would spark some inspiration.

 

Setting was also a no-brainer since I’ve lived practically my entire life in Natchitoches. It’s a vibrant and beautiful place, perfect for a light, fluffy romantic comedy.

 

So, all in all, research was super easy for me which is one of the many reasons I knew I had to write this book.

 

I leave you with this question readers, who is your favorite comic book character?

Review: Obsession - Jennifer L. Armentrout!

Title: Obsession (An Arum Novel #1)

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Release Date: May 31st 2013

Publisher:  Entangled (Covet)

Genres: Adult, Paranormal/Sci-Fi, Romance

Pages: Unknown

Source: For review/won from Entangled

He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life…or is it Hunter?

 

SO. That was basically my first thought at finishing OBSESSION. A bit awkward but so true.

 

Anywayyyyy, I know my review would never do this book justice but hey at least I tried, right? In case you're wondering, yes, the Queen of Everything Jennifer L. Armentrout has done it again. OBSESSION was everything I hoped for and more. I was dying for this book ever since she gave us some teasers last May and NOW I actually can't believe I've finally read it!

 

Hunter is definitely the baddest hot male character Jen has ever written. EVER. He's also my favourite which says a LOT. Sorry Daemon and Cam but Hunter is definitely kicking both your asses. Hunter is not your typical hero. First, I doubt you'd even like him at the beginning. He's an ARUM - besides being one of the 'bad guys', he's also cold, an alpha male, has an ego the size of the planet and with such arrogance that will put Daemon to shame. But as you read on, you just can't help but really fall in love with him. I KNOW I DID. Like Serena says "You're more than a weapon, Hunter. So much more." There is so much more to him and by the end of the book, I'm oh so ready to marry and have his babies. YUM.

 

If you love how feisty Alex and Katy are, then you'd adore Serena!! Serena made me laugh as much as Hunter did, and I love how big her heart is and how feisty she is with Hunter. She NEVER backs down from him and I just love their interactions. If you love Daemon and Kat's banter, you'd LOVE Hunter and Serena's. Made me laugh so much!

 

You know what's so great about all this? Besides the sexy romance (which is my fav), there was this whole thing between the Luxen, Arum, the government and even humans. Those who've read the Lux series will obviously know more, but you can also read this as a stand-alone (she explains everything perfectly). And I really admire how Jen wrote this whole alien war thing being not just black and white. There's soooo many gray areas, and to be honest, there's NO good guy or bad guy. In the YA series, we get the Luxen point of view and we all deemed the Arum as the stupid ugly bad guys. But it's so far from that. I'm so thankful to JLA for writing this from the supposed enemy point of view. Arum can be just as interesting and good as the Luxen. I'm so not Team anybody. I love both the Luxens and Arums. :)

 

If you thought that JLA couldn't write her books any more hotter, well then you're SO wrong. Hands down, OBSESSION is her hottest and sexiest book so far. I read a lot of adult/new adult smexy stuff, but some of the stuff here made me blush. The scenes are so beautifully written and not just there for the sake of it. (Definitely not for the younger readers but I am nearly an adult so :P)

 

You're all probably so tired of me going on and on about Jen's fabulous writing, but I gotta say it again. She's one hell of a writer. Guys, she's one of the actual few who makes me WANT to lose sleep just because I HAVE to know what happens next. I started this in the late evening and didn't finish until the morning. (Which probably wasn't a good idea since I had a test in the morning but OH SO WORTH IT GUYS.) OBSESSION has a mix of everything you want: characters you can never get enough of, smexy romance with a touch of action and humour and basically just everything else ahhhhhh. GOSH IS IT SO OBVIOUS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS BOOK?

 

There's just so much I want to say about OBSESSION but I really can't so..*zips lips* But yes, some characters from the Lux YA series does make some appearances ;) And now I also kinda know why the fourth Lux book is called ORIGIN. *grin*  This is so going on my favourites list and no doubt this will come up when I do my yearly Top 10 lists. My only wish is it: Can I have this on paperback please?? I NEED THIS ON MY SHELF.

 

And...because I'm such a nice person, I'll end this review with one of my fav quotes from OBSESSION:

 

""You're more than a weapon, Hunter. So much more."

"With you? I am more, but not with anyone else. "

 

 

OBSESSION just made me even more excited for ORIGIN!

 

 

So many hugs and thanks to the lovely people at Entangled - Liz Pelletier and Heather Riccio!! :D

And of course to my fav author ever Jennifer L. Armentrout for being so awesome to her fans and for writing the best stories ever.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE COVER:

 

How fucking gorgeous and sexy does this cover look?!?! I love how it kinda ties in with the covers for the Lux series all the while making sure that this is an adult book. Adult or not, I'm reading this baby. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

 

Oh, and I think I have a new JLA book cover. ;)

 

Psst. I just read that Hunter is Jen's 2nd favourite guy to write. (Jace from Be With Me is apparently first.)  THIS MEANS IT'LL BE AMAZEBALLS.

 

So...what do you think of the cover? :)

Title: Foreplay (The Ivy Chronicles #1)

 

Before she goes after the life she’s always wanted, she’s about to find the one she needs.

 

Pepper has been hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother, Hunter, for like ever. He’s the key to everything she’s always craved: security, stability, family. But she needs Hunter to notice her as more than just a friend. Even though she’s kissed exactly one guy, she has just the plan to go from novice to rock star in the bedroom—take a few pointers from someone who knows what he’s doing.

Her college roommates have the perfect teacher in mind. But bartender Reece is nothing like the player Pepper expects. Yes, he’s beyond gorgeous, but he’s also dangerous, deep—with a troubled past. Soon what started as lessons in attraction are turning both their worlds around, and showing just what can happen when you go past foreplay and get to what’s real…

Review: Down London Road - Samantha Young

Title: Down London Road (On Dublin Street #2)

Author: Samantha Young

Release Date: May 7th 2013

Publisher:  Penguin/NAL

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Pages: 384

Source: For review

Johanna Walker is used to taking charge. But she’s about to meet someone who will make her lose control....

It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may—or may not—fly.

But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable. The sexy new bartender at work gives her butterflies every time she looks at him. And for once, Jo is tempted to put her needs first. Cam is just as obsessed with getting to know Jo, but her walls are too solid to let him get close enough to even try.

Then Cam moves into the flat below Jo’s, and their blistering connection becomes impossible to ignore. Especially since Cam is determined to uncover all of Jo’s secrets …even if it means taking apart her defenses piece by piece.

The first book of this series, On Dublin Street, was by far my most favourite adult book EVER. I just absolutely fell in love with that book, and when I found out that there would be a sequel with different main characters, I stalked basically the author and early reviews for Down London Road. Early reviewers said one thing in common: Down London Road was even better than On Dublin Street. And you know what? They are 100% right.

Before we get on to our new main characters Johanna and Cameron, I would just like to say that the author was soooo awesome to give us a lot of Joss and Braden time even though they are not the main focus here anymore. Every time we get to see the old gang again - Joss, Braden, Ellie, Adam - I just couldn't help smiling. (And we do see them a lot since they're Johanna's close friends) :)

Okay, I admit when we first met Johanna from On Dublin Street, I really didn't like her. Like a lot of people, we all thought she was a cheap gold digger who'd do anything for money. So obviously I was a bit reluctant when I found out she's going to be the main character in this book but in the end, Jo just surprised me. We find out why she does what she does, and in my opinion, it justifies everything. Her life is really not easy and for such a young person, she carries a great deal of responsibility. But you know what I really admire about her? She doesn't give up. She loves her little brother Cole so much that it just breaks my heart; she would do anything for him. I hated their mother and if she was my mum, I would have kicked her out myself. Grrrr. But yeah, Jo is one of the bravest, compassionate and most realistic character I've ever read about. She totally won me over by the end. I actually think I love her so much than Joss (and that's saying a lot!)

EEEEEP. Now onto the love interest and the love of my life - Cameron McCabe. Cam is such a sweetheart. And yes, he did annoy me at first when he was so judgemental and such an asshole to Jo at first, but as they learn more about each other and hang out, he just blew my mind. Such a swoon-worthy character that I loved even more than Braden. Yes. That's how much I loved Cam. Like Jo, I think he's one of the most realistic male characters I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

The pace of their relationship was slow and right for this story. There was no insta-love! That's what I love about this series - both On Dublin Street and Down London Road features a love story that is so relatable that you wouldn't be surprised if there's one just like it in real life. Cam and Jo's relationship was healthy, and yes they had fights but whose relationship doesn't have ups and downs? I just loved their whole relationship and oh boy do they have chemistry!!!! The love scenes were even hotter in this book! Samantha Young can sure write an awesome (and not to mention hot) love scene. *Fans self*

Like in On Dublin Street, Samantha Young manages to make me fall in love with the old and new characters. We get to meet a lot of new characters in this one - and I adored each and everyone of them. Cole, her little brother was so protective and sweet! Olivia, Mick, Nate, Peetie, and even Ellie's younger sister was brilliant. And obviously, there are some characters that I hated. Jo and Cole's mum and her messed up dad, Blair, Malcolm and Becca.

The plot was even more intense and dark in this than I would have thought. There's a lot of stuff happening and I never found myself bored or wanting to stop. So yeah, I stayed up way later than I should have Thursday night and I read it in one sitting. Obviously, the epilogue was my favourite part. ;)  This follow up to On Dublin Street was just so stunning and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I heard that there would be a third book in this series, so I can't wait to find out who will be in it. I do have a few guesses but since Samantha's not telling us until later, then I guess I'll just go re-read Down London Road. It's definitely going in my Favourite Books shelf. :D

Review: Dare You To - Katie McGarry

Title: Dare You To (Pushing The Limits #2)

Author: Katie McGarry

Release Date: May 28th 2013

Publisher:  Harlequin Teen

Genres: YA, Contemporary, Romance

Pages: 462

Source: For review

Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

GUYS. I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVED this book! This stunning follow up from Pushing The Limits was even better and dare I say it, I loved Ryan way more than I loved Noah from PtL!

As always, Katie McGarry has a way of making us readers fall in love with each and everyone of her character. In the first book we got introduced to Beth but I admit I wasn't too fond of her then. But with her own book, she got her chance to tell her story and boy, I actually fucking adore her! There's so much more to Beth than you'd think, she's selfless, brave and smart. She'd do anything for the people she love even though they don't even deserve it. And when she acts a certain way, I totally get her. Now, Ryan, wow! I have found a new book boyfriend and that is Ryan Stone. He's soooo swooony!!! Like with Beth, you'd think they are these stereotypical characters but they're really not. There's so much more to Ryan and he's actually such a sweetheart.

THERE'S NO INSTA-LOVE. Actually, there's quite a bit of insta-hate. HURRAH! I want to applaud the author as she has written a love story that is so realistic and HEALTHY. Guys, this relationship is healthy. We need more of this!

Did I ever tell you how much I love reading about love stories that first started as a bet/game/dare? 'Cause I do. And even though we've seen this type of plot before, the author somehow manages to write it refreshing, unique and without being cheesy.

We get to see a lot of the main characters from Pushing The Limits in this book and that was pretty fun too. To see how they're getting on and such. I have to admit, I was such Team Beth and Isaiah back in Pushing The Limits, but reading Dare You To and reading about Ryan, it's perfectly CLEAR that Ryan and Beth belongs together. Now, can I just say how much I am dying for Isaiah's book, Crash Into You? This guy deserves a happy ending, y'all.

What else can I say about this book? The writing was fabulous and while the pacing was at times  a little slow for me, it was undeniably perfect for the book. I honestly can't find a fault in this and I loved DARE YOU TO a million times more than PUSHING THE LIMITS.
