Title: Of Poseidon Author: Anna Banks Pages: 324 Publisher: Feiwel & Friends  Release Date: May 22, 2012 GOODREADS  Emma and her friend Chloe are spending vacation in Florida. When Emma (literally) runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he’s a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange – is it attraction? – and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he’s heard of – a human who can communicate with fish. What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma’s gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she’s the key to saving his kingdom. Soon, Emma can’t deny her feelings for him, but can’t explain them, either – and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings. Why I cannot wait to read this: 1. I love the sound of mermaids and l

Cover Reveal: Shadows (Lux 0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Image
WOW  GOODREADS February 2012 Entangled Publishing Blurb: The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane. Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.        Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in. Captivated. Lured. Loved. Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence…and put her life in jeopardy.  But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself. I LOVE the cover!! + its Daemon's twin!! looking forward to reading this:D

Vote Alex Andros

Image
As you may know, I LOVE Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Alex has won her first round, and tomorrow she faces Rose from Vampire Academy. YOU can vote for Alex at YA Sisterhood  Why should YOU vote 4 Alex: She is an awesome heroine! Alex is a fighter from the day you meet her in Daimon. If you have read the prequel you have seen that she can fight, she did kill 2 of them. Alex is also smart, due to her knowledge of the outside world other than Deity Island in which she grew up. To those who have read Half-Blood, she is a strong opponent against Rose and since they are both half's of some supernatural to them. Jennifer is an awesome writer and made Alex a wonderful main character. Her writing is also addicting!! From the first novel in the series, Daimon, you get to know her better, who she is before she left. She is always the troublemaker when she was training. She can kill many things with her fighting skills. Her forbidden romance with Aiden! I like love triangles for so

Cover Reveal: Chosen One's by Tiffany Truitt

  Title: Chosen Ones Author: Tiffany Truitt Entangled Publishing GOODREADS Summary: What if you were mankind’s last chance at survival?             Sixteen-year-old Tess lives in a compound in what was once the Western United States, now decimated after a devastating fourth World War. But long before that, life as we knew it had been irrevocably changed, as women mysteriously lost the ability to bring forth life. Faced with the extinction of the human race, the government began the Council of Creators, meant to search out alternative methods of creating life. The resulting artificial human beings, or Chosen Ones, were extraordinarily beautiful, unbelievably strong, and unabashedly deadly.             Life is bleak, but uncomplicated for Tess as she follows the rigid rules of her dystopian society, until the day she begins work at Templeton, the training facility for newly created Chosen Ones. There, she meets James, a Chosen One whose odd love of music and reading rivals only he

Title: Cursed Author: Jennifer L.Armentrout Pages: 304 Publisher: Spencer Hill Press Release Date: September 18, 2012 GOODREADS Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows. Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a fre
