Posted on September 30, 2014 | 14 comments

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

My Teaser:

“Roger was the handler who took me,” I say, lowering my voice as shame–shame -I know I don’t deserve–sickens me.  “And in The Program he was making trades. I gave him a kiss in order to keep a memory, one that led me back to James.

Page 34

The Treatment (The Program, #2) The Treatment (Program #2) by Suzanne Young

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, The Program, so I am hoping this one is as good.

The Right Song by Shane Morgan

Posted on September 24, 2014 | 2 comments

The Right Song The Right Song by Shane Morgan. Published July 31, 2014 by TSW books. CDN $3.28 Kindle edition.  (Although I was given a free copy by the Author in exchange for an honest review. )

Pain never truly goes away, until you find something deeper and meaningful that cures the heart and fills it with love.

That is what Aurora desperately wants to believe. That somehow her music can save her, or even touch the unreachable heart of the guy she has liked for years.

Rora yearns for his attention and wants to experience this so-called love that could possibly end her long suffering and inspire her to chase after her dreams.

In deeply understanding the feelings of others and herself, will Aurora give up on ever finding true happiness, or will an intriguing soul teach her about the greatest song ever written? (Goodreads Excerpt)

I have to say that once I got into this book it really captured me and kept me reading. The beginning of the book is a little slow, but it picks up and the story draws you in. I really enjoyed the main character Aurora. I liked her spirit and enjoyed watching her emotional reactions to the events that takes place and people around her.

I am not a big fan of love triangles, but the way this was written it was easily enjoyed. **Spoiler** I think you knew from the moment she connects with Deagan that he is her soul mate. I never really liked Milo and we don’t really get to know him much other than Rora’s crush. I think the author did this on purpose so that the reader connected more with Deagan from the start. He is more of a distraction and a way for Rora to know what is truly in her heart. The chemistry between them is amazing.!**end of spoiler**

I loved the musical aspect of this book. I thought it was pretty cool that the author wrote the songs that are in the book. Very original and made it more personal to me.

Overall I enjoyed the book. It was unique and entertaining, but I think it could have used another go around with a really good editor. 3 ½ stars for me.

My Teaser:

Adrian pulled his fingers out of Gray’s hand and grabbed her by the shoulders. “You are under a spell,” he said roughly. “I’m not.” And then he released her and began walking quickly away.

Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on September 5, 2014 | 2 comments

Opposition (Lux, #5) Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L Armentrout.  Published Aug 5, 2014 by Entangled Teen. CDN $7.99 Kindle edition.

Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can’t believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well what can I say now that it is all over? It was quite the ride I have to admit that. I was absolutely thrilled with the conclusion to the series. It was an amazing, tense, heart pounding, on the edge of your seat thrilling and wow…swoon worthy too!

I have become a HUGE fan of Jennifer Armentrout. She has not disappointed me yet and I can’t wait to read whatever she comes up with next. Amazing story telling, world building, character development and everything else that makes a book hard to put down.

It is hard to come up with a review for the fifth book without giving away anything from the previous books so I will leave it at this…

Absolutely amazing 5 star read!

My Teaser:

It had taken everything for me not to slam my fist into his face.  I had calmed down enough that bringing the house down on its foundation was unlikely to occur.  Still a possibility, though.

7% on kindle
