The Forgotten Ones Blog Tour: Book Spotlight & Giveaway!

 

The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard

Release Date: May 15, 2013

Series: The Danaan Trilogy #1

 

Description from Goodreads:

Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember.

What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn't trust her father, so why would she believe his stories about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan? But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother's sanity.

LOST IN YOU by Heidi McLaughlin Blog Tour! (Review & Giveaway)

 

Lost in You by Heidi McLaughlin

Release Date: May 6, 2013

Format: ebook, 348 pages

Source: Author for blog tour

 

Description from Goodreads:

Ryan Stone is a less than average teenager. He doesn’t have fancy clothes. He doesn’t carry around the latest smartphone and he definitely doesn’t have an MP3 player. Instead, he goes to school, does his chores and dreams of a new life away from Brookfield where he’s expected to follow in his blue collar family’s footsteps.

Hadley Carter is America’s Pop Princess. A successful recording artist living her dream with a sold-out tour and a handful of Grammy’s there isn’t much that she wants for, except love. But finding love on the road is near impossible when all she longs for are romantic dinners, a nighttime stroll on the beach and holding hands with someone who isn’t going to exploit her.

When a chance encounter introduces Ryan to Hadley, will he be like her adoring fans looking for a way in, or will it be Hadley who pursues Ryan even though it might cost her the only career she's known.

Lost in You is a story about following your dreams, taking risks and getting lost in love.

 

I went into Lost in You expecting one thing and got something COMPLETELY different. And you know what? I really liked it. I thought this would be the regular romance we see all the time. Of course, some things would vary, but overall it wouldn't be too groundbreaking. Instead, this book completely veered off my expected course and made its way into new territory that at first kind of bothered me, but in the end won me over. I REALLY liked this book.

The premise is same old, same old. Boy, girl, fall in love, deal with it, blah blah blah. But the way this story is executed is different. Also, once this story reaches a certain point, that "same old, same old" thing I said? Does not apply AT ALL, making this story fresh and... more REAL.

Character Rundown:
Hadley: Goodness, I love her name. Hadley. Anyway. In my mind, I pictured Hadley as Taylor Swift. Just saying. Did I like Hadley? Meh. Sometimes. She seemed genuinely nice, and I liked that, but she did grate on my nerves a bit sometimes. Not as bad as some female characters do, though. So I guess that's a plus.

Ryan: He is so cute. Especially in the beginning. I admit, he was kind of boring before he met Hadley. And a protion of when he knew Hadley. But then, as time goes on and by the end of the story, he grows into this interesting, wonderful character that is just so great. Awww, Ryan. My boy.

Plot. I was completely surprised by the course this story took. I was expecting it to be a straight shot through to a happy ending, but...that is NOT what this book is. This story twisted in a way that I didn't imagine before I got to it, but pulled me in at a point where I think, otherwise, I would have started to get bored. So again, that's a plus. Also, this book is in dual POV, beginning and ending with my boy Ryan. I enjoyed this. Especially when I wanted to punch one of the characters in the face. Because then the POV would switch and I could calm myself. Mhm. Yeah.

Romance. Oh, there was swooning. But there was also insta-love. So...by the end of the book, the insta-love thing doesn't have much merit, but still. It was there. Doesn't change the fact that Hadley and Ryan are a cute couple. And when they weren't a couple, I wanted to bang my head against the wall screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!" Seriously. Some things in here disappointed me. But those things also kept the story interesting, so...stalemate?

The ending. *stares* It's in Ryan's POV. That is all I will tell you.

Overall, Lost in You is a tastefully written and refreshing story. If you're looking for a contemporary romance that doesn't exactly follow the beaten path, but is still fulfilling, you should totally add Lost in You to your TBR.

A Different Blue Blog Tour: Review of A Different Blue by Amy Harmon!

A Different Blue by Amy Harmon
Release Date: March 27, 2013
Format: ebook, 454 pages
Source: Author for review

Description from Goodreads:
Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least. Tough, hard and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing.

This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible.

I recieved an ecopy of A Different Blue for the blog tour. It landed in my inbox, I sent it to my Kindle, and then when I did what I usually do and took a little peek at the beginning. Why? Because I was curious. I usually am. Especially considering I send books to my Kindle/recieve them in the mail on a daily basis and have to put them aside for goodness knows how long until I have time to read them. (Seriously. I just started a book today that I got for Christmas. BLAH.) So I usually peek at the beginning. Not the middle, not the end, just the beginning. I don't want to spoil it for myself. That would be terrible. But I peeked at the beginning of A Different Blue. And then I peeked at the next page. And the next page. Next thing I know, it's 3 AM and I'm 80% through with the book.

Um. Yeah. This book is THAT terrific.

It just flies by in a daze of awesomeness that you don't even notice until you have to pee or want a snack or something. And even then, you don't really care because, um, hey, you need to know how this story is going to end. Goodness, I love this book. My heart is smiling just thinking about it. Amy Harmon's writing was fabulous and the story itself was captivating. GOODNESS, HAVE I SAID I LOVE THIS BOOK YET?!?!

Character Rundown:
Blue: Ahh, how I love her name. Blue and I...we kind of have a love/hate relationship. Her attitude was fun, and even reminded me of a friend I actually have in real life. But some of the decisions she made...I did not like. Don't get me wrong--I agreed with, approved of, and respected A LOT of her choices, especially the BIG choice she made in this book. But there were some little, petty choices that I did not like. They aren't TOO important, but they were there, nonetheless. Overall, I'd say I actually like Blue. WOOT!

Wilson: Oh, this guy. He has me wanting to name something Wilson. Or Darcy. Or one thing Wilson and one thing Darcy. I just want to NAME things after this wonderful human being. (Well, book character, but...meh.) He made me smile so much! And his character shifted so much from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. I. Loved. It. He made some decisions I did not particularly like, too, but still--I adore him and he's my boy. <3

Plot. It seems so straightforward when you read the description, but...this book goes places I never thought it would. And it does that while still being exactly what it said it would be. It was actually completely riveting. I didn't get bored at all, and this book (i.e. my Kindle) was glued to my hand as I read the beautiful that IS this story. Have I mentioned that I love it? I want y'all to know that.

Romance! Oh. Oh man. It is there. And it is...stunning. Blue and Wilson are a fantastic couple. Honestly, that is all that NEEDS to be said there. I could say a whole bunch of other things, too, but I don't feel it's necessary. Not with these two. Just...sweetness. And love. And MY HEART. Gah.

The ending. I'm leaving this one alone this time, actually. Just because. I will say that the ending left me loving this book. As did THIS WHOLE BOOK. This whole book left me loving this book. The ending included.

Overall, Amy Harmon is being added to my list of authors to watch for. A Different Blue has rendered me speechless. It was captivating and beautiful, and I don't regret the sleep I lost reading this for a second. Not one second. Totally worth it. I DEFINITELY recommend this book. No doubt in my mind about that. READ THE AWESOME!

What I Got #29 ♥ I Heart Jessirae!

What I Got is a weekly meme hosted by Monica over at Cover Analysis :)

 

Hey, y'all! So I am sick. If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen me whining about it. I lost my voice, have to take the WORST tasting medicine, my mother keeps trying to jam juice down my throat, all that fun stuff. But I'm doing a What I Got post. Because I AM SO BORED. And I didn't make one last week.

 

So yeah. Since I haven't done one of these posts in a couple of weeks, chances are I am totally going to forget something. OH WELL. I already know there's going to be a bunch of books on this list anyway, so I'm not too worried about forgetting books. Life goes on. ;)

 

E-books:

The Forever of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen

I can't even tell you right now how deliriously happy I was when I got approved for this on NetGalley. Like...AHHH! I have the first book (with the original cover) and I thought I wouldn't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks of getting approved for the sequel...but I did...and now I have it...and oh, goodness, I can't wait to read it!

 

Truly, Meadly, Deadly by Hannah Jayne

Another one from NetGalley. April Henry was at my school in April, and she was telling a few of us about this book and I must say, the premise? SO. INTERESTING. I kid you not, it is so cool. Check out the description on Goodreads. You'll see.

 

Second Chance Boyfriend by Monica Murphy

Jessirae, being the fantastic person she is, loaned this to me! Because she KNOWS I have a thing for Drew, and it's all her fault since she loaned me One Week Girlfriend, too. I'm probably going to sneak-read this one in between blog tour books because...goodness...DREW.

 

Rule by Jay Crownover

This is another one Jessirae lent me. Mhm. Yeah. Y'all were like "Isn't she going to thank JL?" Well, I AM, PEOPLE. Just not yet. And not now, either. There's more. But this book looks so magnificent, and this is another one I'll probably sneak-read. Because sneak-reading is my specialty.

 

Real by Katy Evans

Priya Kanaparti...that wonderful, wonderful human being...she loaned this to me. And YES. I WILL SNEAK-READ THIS, AS WELL. Because it looks so worth it. Gosh, look at that cover. This is going to be a great series. I can feel it. I just need to meet my boy Remy. THANKS, PRIYA! <3 you to pieces!

 

This Girl by Colleen Hoover

OMGOMGOMG I SAW THIS ON NETGALLEY AND OMGOMGOMG. I got it! Ahhh! Ah, man. I can't wait to read this and review and just...OMG. Feels, guys. Feels.

 

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy

I'm going to be on the blog tour for this! Around the end of May! So yeah. There's that. And the description for this book...I loved the tone of it. The voice. The MC seems like she's going to be fun. Eeep! Plus. That cover. COME ON.

 

A Summer to Remember by Jessica Gunhammer

Is that the same couple as The Hazards of Skinny Dipping? Looks like it is. HA. I didn't mean to put those right next to each other. Those are just both the books I got in my email this weekend (so far). Or that I sent to my Kindle this weekend...EITHER WAY. At least they aren't the same pose. And that boy...he looks so niiiiice, doesn't he? ANYHOO. This one just looks good. Boy, girl, small town, amazing summer...it'll be fun! *happy dance*

 

For Review:

**From here on out, click on the book titles to get to the Goodreads page for the book!**

All of these are from Spencer Hill Press! There was some swag that came with it, but it was put away (i.e. thrown in a pile somewhere or something) before this pic was taken, so...yeah. Either way, thanks so much to SHP for always making me happy!

 

Triangles by Kimberly Ann Miller

I've been waiting and waiting for this book for a while now. It was even one of my Waiting on Wednesdays, back when I actually, you know, DID WoWs. But this one's about a girl who goes on a cruise and there are two guys and...STUFF happens. What kind of stuff? Well, gee. I do not know. Myabe I should READ THE BOOK and find out, eh? Oh, I plan to. As soon as I possibly can. As soon as I possibly can. (PLEASE, GOODNESS, LET THAT BE SOON.) I want it to be soon.

 

PODs by Michelle Pickett

I saw this one everywhere and it looked so cool. Then I found out it was from SHP and requested it so fast, you don't even KNOW. And now I have it in my hands and....happiness.

 

Copper Girl by Jennifer Allis Provost

I already had an ARC of this, if you remember me telling you that. But another ARC of this came with PODs, so hey. I have an extra! That means I'll probably have a giveaway sometime ;)

 

Bought:

 

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen

Sarah Dessen was in Austin! And I met her! And I got a book signed! Yay! She was also giving that snazzy Colby stickers, too! I won a pen with a Dex quote as well, but I didn't think to include that in the pic...oops.

 

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

This one is for my best friend. That is also what the second Colby sticker is for. I have my own copy of Just Listen I'm going to get signed at ATBF. Because, um, yeah. SARAH DESSEN'S GOING TO BE THERE!!!! (I'm still OMFG about this!)

 

Gifted:

 

When Noonday Ends by Carmen DeSousa

This is a spin-off of Land of the Noonday Sun. Which I LOVED. So yay! Tom is going to be awesome. Eeep! Thank you SO. MUCH. To Carmen for sending this to me.

 

 

Sass & Serendipity by Jennifer Ziegler

Y'all know what TLA is, right? Well, I didn't go. But my librarian did! And because she's so awesome, she got me a signed copy of Sass & Serendipity, plus a couple signed bookmarks (The Collector--AHHH, V! and Splintered by A.G. Howard!), along with a really cool key necklace for the sequel to Splintered, which is going to be called...Unhinged? I think? I can't remember off the top of my head. But still. I thought it was so cool she got me ANYTHING, let along some signed stuff!

 

I got ALLLLL this from Jessirae this morning. Made this sick girl SUPER happy. And made my mom freak out because the packaging was all "dirty." (There was, like, one scuff mark or whatever.) Either way, I put my cinnamon roll down and OPENED this shiz. Gifts, for a few reasons (birthday, Christmas, you know how it is) and just because she likes to give me things like the fabulous friend she is.

 

OH. And the loads of swag. I smiled so hard at the swag. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I JUST WANT TO PET IT ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

 

Crash by Nicole Williams

I AM SO HAPPY SHE GOT ME THIS BOOK. I have wanted to read it for a loooooong time. I was getting ready to start nagging people to get it for me, but then JL was like "Oh, well I got you that for your birthday" and I was like SBDGIUQEBRN! She knows me so well. This is the first in a trilogy, though. Which means SOMEBODY's going to be hearing from me about the other two. Probably my parents. Because I'm like that. Oops. ;) Oh, and in non-whiny news, I am now listening to Hey Jude on repeat. Because yeah. I have a feeling this book is not going to sit on my stack unread for a long time. I've got that happy feeling about this book.

 

Ten by Gretchen McNeil

*MC*Neil, you guys. Not O'Neil. Geez. You should know this. But anyway, it was on my wishlist, and JL knew it, so she gave me an ARC because she's just that wonderful.

 

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

I hear this one's sad. But it was also on my wishlist, and I really think I like it, and since Jessirae is a terrific human being, she sent me an ARC of this, too!

 

Flawed by Kate Avelynn

I love this book so much, there are not words. It is so sad and I just don't even know right now, but I am so ecstatic to have a print copy, I just...AHH! It's so great! When she told me she was sending me this, I was like "Seriously?!?!" and she was like "I'm totally serious!" and I was like "YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS RIGHT NOW, LIKE SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!" and she was like "OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS WHY WOULD I NOT BE SERIOUS." So yeah. Happy times, right here. Well, not the book, obviously. But GETTING the book. That made me happy.

 

Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler

Again, if you remember, I checked this out from the library. I'd already read it, but I really liked this book and wanted to peek at my favorite parts again and a whole bunch of other stuff because OMG I actually think I GET this book and it is so great. Well, JL saw that and was like "Well, I have that book and I've already read it and, well, I can send it to you if you want" and I was like "OMFG, REALLY?" and then she was like "Um. Yeah." and I was like "YES PLEASE OMFG" and she was like "OKAY." And now I have it and I'm so happy to add it to my shelf/stack! (Not exactly sure WHERE I'm putting it yet...let's just say I'm glad to own it.)

 

So, Jessirae, I heart you to infinity and beyond. You, my friend, are the flipping BEST. <3

 

And...that is all I got this week! Thank goodness. I am SO. DONE. with this post. Blah.

 

Now, tell me!

 

What did YOU get this week?

 

Have you read anything I got?

 

What book should I read NOW?

 

Have you ever lost your voice? Isn't it TERRIBLE?

 

Don't you think Jessirae is awesome?

 

Okay, that's all. Answer me at least one of those questions in the comments, pllleeeease! And have a great Sunday! (Or have a horrible Sunday, I can't tell you what to do. I hope it's great, though!)

Destiny Gift Blog Tour: Review of Destiny Gift by Juliana Haygert!

Welcome to my stop on the Destiny Gift tour! To see the full schedule, click HERE! Or the banner. But we all know that banners like to NOT link for me, so there's a chance (a rather large chance, if you ask me) that it will take you nowhere. But hey. You never know.

 

Destiny Gift by Juliana Haygert

Release Date: April 9, 2013

Format: ebook

Series: Everlast #1

Source: For blog tour

Buy It: Amazon | B&N

 

Description from Goodreads:

Thirty years in the future, a sinister New York City exists in permanent darkness.

A student at the secured NYU, nineteen-year-old Nadine has visions of Victor Gianni, an imaginary guy she has real feelings for. Afraid of being truly insane, she explains the visions away as simple daydreams, but she can no longer deny them when she bumps into Victor in real life. But this Victor doesn’t know her, and turns her away. After the encounter, Nadine’s visions change to those of eerie fates, gods she’s never heard of, demons with sharp claws they are not too timid to use … and instructions.

To discover if she’s losing her mind, Nadine follows the vague directions—with the real, rude and reluctant Victor—leading to a man who knows it all: Nadine can restore an ancient creed by unveiling the clues on her visions, and bring sunlight and peace to the world again. But that’s only if the demons and the other evil forces behind the darkness don’t stop her first.

I took one look at this book and was falling all over myself to read it. Why? Well, let's list the reasons, shall we?

- New Adult Paranormal Romance. New Adult. We all know how much I heart that genre, yes? And paranormal romance. I'm usually cool with that.

- Do you SEE that cover? Ahhh, so gorgeous.

- Victor! I wanted to learn about this booooy. Can you blame me? He sounded so interesting in the description.

- Fates, gods, and demons. I wanted to KNOOOOOW, you know?

And now I've read the book. I finally sat my booty down and made my way all the way through this book. And...well, I'm not disappointed. But I'm not especially slap happy, either. This book was good. But it wasn't OMGOMG YAY.

But I still think it is worth reading.

Why? WHY would I tell you that after it did not meet my expectations?

Well, I'll tell you why, booklover. Juliana's writing? Was great. I really liked it. And Micah? (A character I'll tell you about later.) He was fabulous. The second half of this book? Had me flipping pages like mad. And the ENDING?! Goodness, gracious, people. WHERE is book 2 when I need it? Gah.

Now, that means that this book is not perfect. So what? The first half of this book was sort of...meh for me. So what? Victor didn't make my insides glow like I thought he would. So what? Because everything I DIDN'T like about this book was made up for with something I liked. Heck, my list of things I did not like is overshadowed by the list of things I DID like.

Character Rundown:
Nadine: Ooooh, girl. I'm not going to lie to you--I was not really a fan. She just seemed so...naive to me. She's not ALL bad, but she's not my favorite protag ever. But her gift(s)? Awesome. Seriously.

Victor: This boy is not mine. There is Victor from her Visions and Victor is Nadine's real life and...I think I might have liked Vision Victor if we'd gotten more time with him. But real life Victor? Got on my nerves. He had a few sweet moments, I'll give him that, but he didn't wow me like I thought he would.

Micah: Ahhh, ACCENT! Yeah, Micah's my boy here. He uses the word "darling", which always makes me laugh, and...just, goodness, y'all. When Nadine was all fawning over Victor (who for some reason I keep wanting to call Vincent...gah! I need If I Should Die already!)...anyway....Nadine was fawning over Victor, and I was sitting there like "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE MY BOY AGAIN?!?! BRING. HIM. BACK." So yeah. Micah made me smile and laugh and he is the best character in this book, in my opinion.

Plot. This was actually pretty solid. Another good thing about this book. It was kind of slow for me at the beginning, but about halfway through, things just picked up and I was INTO this book. There is a plot twist. I didn't see it coming. Though, once it was starting to be revealed, I DID guess the rest of it before we were told. But that's not too bad. At least I didn't guess at the beginning. I guessed DURING the big reveal.

Romantic/Sweet Things. We have Vision Victor, Real Victor, and Micah. All of them have their moments. Vision Victor's are short lived because...well, you'll see when you read the book! Real Victor...those sweet moments were almost the only moments I really liked him. But I'm okay with that. And Micah. Ahhhh, his were my favorite. "Darling." The only person who can one-up him with the darking thing right now is Liam from The Darkest Minds (AKA my favorite book EVER) and his use of the word "darlin'." Micah relieved stress with his moments. I loved it.

The ending. It's not really a cliffhanger, but I was left with a feeling of "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?!?!" I want to read that second book. I need to find out...things. Things that I will not tell you because I refuse to spoil, but OMG more Micah pleasepleaseplease. Okay? OKAY.

Overall, Destiny Gift is not the perfect book. It has flaws. But in the end, it is a solid story with very many redeeming qualities that will leave you making grabby hands for book 2. Goodness knows I am.

So, tell me:
What do you think of the cover?! I think this one is my favorite in the series. But I love all these covers. They're so DIFFERENT. Lots of other YA covers have girls in dresses on them and couple on them or something like that. And that's not a bad thing (y'all know how I am about Pepe & Sztella, and have you even SEEN the original cover for The Secret of Ella & Micha? Yum), but it's always nice to see something that's unique.

Also, the first book--Exiled--is free! Need help deciding whether or not to buy it? CHECK OUT MY REVIEW!!! But let me tell you now, this book? Is GOOD. So you can skip the review and just grab it if you want. There shall be no disappointment anywhere. Because the book is great.

All right. That's it for this reveal. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE COVER!!
