             -This series is one that has been in my life since it came out. This is probably one of the first books I had picked up since high school, not including Harry Potter. I was instantly intrigued. I have only read until #9, but they are on my TBR pile, as for the Novellas I have read all but #4.

          - This series I have not had any luck finding. I have looked all over the city of Indianapolis and in the small country library I now go to and have not found anything all all. I have thought about ordering it, but am one of those try before you buy types.

Time Raider's series: 

 #3 The Avenger 2009

        -This is a group effort and she wrote novel 3. I have never read it!

          - This one is graphic. It talks about rapes and pillage and much more. I actually have read them all and posted about not letting younger teens read these just because of the graphic nature of the writing. I do think they are somewhat great books, but believe that you should be careful who you let read. 

Accidental Magic 2012

The Book Theif by: Markus Zusak

Publication Date: September 2007

Overview: It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.

ME: I haven't actually read this book. I had a really hard time getting started and never fully go into this. But after watching the trailer for this book I think I will have to add it to my pile. All the fans of this series have been raving and talking about it for years. I know it was probably one if the first to make my list of TBR, but never finished and barely started. Me the ever faithful trier of everything will try and try until I can finish it. 

Here is  preview of the movie releasing next year in February.

New look!

     So anyone that knows me understands my need for change. And I decided to update the look of the blog. It might take a bit to get everything completely finished, but so far so good. I hope you all enjoy the new look!

Deadly to Promise (Elemental Killers #2)

by Mia Hoddell

Genre: YA/Romance/Paranormal/Fantasy

Blurb:

A broken promise is all it takes.

Becoming an E.K isn’t a choice for Serena – it’s a necessity to survive. To destroy the Elementals she has to leave her old life behind. She has to train and follow a strict regime. But with time against her, she has only a few weeks to master the skills Kai spent his whole life perfecting. 

The knowledge passed down from her ancestors is crucial to the Elementals demise and the success of their mission. However, the path they must follow is lined with riddles, each more confusing than the next. It doesn’t matter how close to succeeding they get, it’s never enough. The Elementals are one step ahead at every revelation and that can only mean one thing – the E.Ks have a traitor among them.

“Have you ever been swimming here?” I asked moving my head to watch his reaction as I brought my feet up out of the water and folded them beside me.

“Yeah, most summers when I came here. We all used to use it as a way to cool off or just have some fun in between training.”

“How about skinny dipping?” I asked my grin growing due to the thoughts running through my head.

“Why? You want to try it?” he challenged.

“Only if you go first,” I laughed but stopped instantly when he removed his shirt and tossed it behind us. My eyes widened in surprise and I started to regret my words. “You’re not being serious are you?” I stuttered as he pulled off his shoes, throwing them over to where his shirt was crumpled.

“You can’t chicken out now Rea. It was your idea,” he said smiling as he removed each sock, teasing me as they ended up with the rest of his discarded garments.

I just stared at him, my lips moving but not making a sound as I tried to find an excuse.

He laughed at me. “Relax Rea, I’m just teasing you. Well unless you’ve changed your mind. In that case I’m being deadly serious.” He had a cheeky grin on his face as he spoke and I pushed him hard, toppling him into the water below.

There was a lot of splashing but Kai surfaced finally, taking a deep breath as he flicked the hair out of his eyes. I was clutching my stomach in fits of laughter as I bent over. The shock on his face was priceless.

“Oh you are so dead Rea, so, so dead,” he said, his voice ragged as the cold water and shock affected his half naked body. I just continued to laugh as he floated in front of me, his head bobbing up and down in a comical way.

About the Author

Mia Hoddell lives in the UK with her family and two cats. She spends most of her time writing or reading and loves anything paranormal. Mia always had a love of writing but never reading. She was more interested in sports and hated sitting still - despite getting three poems published before the age of sixteen. Finally though, she found some novels that captured her interest and developed a love of reading which is now one of her favorite hobbies.

Mia began with poems before moving on to short stories. Although she enjoyed this, Mia found she had too much to tell with too little space, so later on she created her first series 'The Wanderer Trilogy' and from there other ideas have emerged. With a total of nine books planned at this moment, she is busy working on her second series 'Elemental Killers' before moving onto the next idea on her ever growing list.

Deadly Witchcraft. Ghostly Threats. Doomed Romance.
They say every town has its secrets, but that doesn’t even begin to describe Fallen Oaks. The townsfolk are a superstitious lot and the mystical disappearance of a local teen has everyone murmuring about a centuries old witch’s curse.
When sixteen-year-old Shiloh Trudell takes a summer job at Craven Manor, she discovers a ghost with an agenda. That’s where she meets the new town hottie, Trent Donovan, and immediately becomes enchanted by his charms.
Finally, Shiloh’s met someone who is supercute and totally into her, but Trent is immersed in the cunning deception that surrounds the mysterious Craven Manor. So much so that he may lose sight of what is truly important to him. And she can’t decide whether she wants to shake him or kiss him. Yet neither one of them can deny the immediate, passionate connection growing between them.
But underlying everything is the fear that Trent may be the next victim on a supernatural hit list, and Shiloh is the only person with the power to save him…
With cryptic messages from a pesky wraith, Shiloh will finally begin to understand the mysterious significance of the strange mark branded on her wrist and decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect the other teenagers in town.
Unfortunately, for Shiloh, not all ghosts want help crossing over. Some want vengeance.

Four Sparks Fall by: T.A. Noonan

Publication Date: October 2013

Overview: Sixteen-year-old May Florence is a budding poet who is about to join Louisiana's most elite boarding school. Her brilliant but reserved twin sister, Susanna, isn't. But the truth is, they've been drifting apart for some time, their relationship barely sustained by shared friendships and mutual envy. Now, as Susanna watches May prepare to leave her behind, she must reconcile what she thinks she knows about herself and her sister with the secrets they've been keeping from one another -- or risk losing her closest friend forever. "four sparks fall" is the story of two young adults searching for love and acceptance in Baton Rouge, a city as complex as the people who inhabit it.

My thoughts: This story is very good. I enjoyed the fact that it was very believable. The characters are exactly what you would expect them to be given their circumstances. This story is one that could be common place in today's society. 
The layout of the book is tricky to navigate. It gives indication that it is about a set of twins but leaves you to interpret which one is speaking at which time. Once you figure out that one twin is in italics and the other isn't, it's enjoyable.
The sexual abuse and let's face it, it was.....is too much. She deserves what she got for going about things the wrong way. 

My rating: 3 stars

Y by: Bonnie Rozanski

Publication Date: August 2010

Overview: The year is 2011, the place, New York City. A mysterious microbe has begun to infect women of child-bearing age. Though the medical establishment writes it off as a simple flu, and the epidemic appears to be dying out, a young New York obstetrician confronts a conundrum. In the past year, the ratio of boys to girls born in her practice has declined precipitously. Dr. Deborah Kruger suspects the truth: that infected women are no longer able to give birth to male children. 

With the help of her husband Larry, a computer analyst, Deborah tracks the epicenter to New York City, from which the infection is already bursting forth. And, as years pass, despite hundreds of laboratories at work on it, the microbe continues to overrun borders and envelop the Earth. With Science unable to stop it, and the contagion rippling worldwide in an AIDS-like pandemic, how will society cope in an increasingly female world?

Unquestionably, some changes are inevitable. Companies hire more women; who assume more leadership positions, replacing the male hierarchy with their own female style of management, to great success. Among the younger generation, monogamy is increasingly replaced by polygamy. Wars decrease. Crime falls. Football attendance is down. Ballet is up.

"Y" follows three New York City families for an entire generation, each with its own story. The blue-collar husband proves unable to deal with a wife who has become the major bread-winner. The yuppie husband does well in his career but cannot resist the temptations of a workplace with limitless young women. His wife, turned off from men entirely, will leave him and become a force to reckon with in her own right. And, along the way, the children of all three families struggle to find mates and to secure their own places in this new, Topsy-turvy world.

At once a fast-paced thriller of a gripping race for a cure, a speculative tale about a futuristic society, and a comic battle between the sexes, "Y" is, above all, the story of real people caught up in a society they no longer recognize.

My thoughts: This is far fetched and extreme. I am usually all about the end of the world types, but this one was too much for me and it dealt mainly with humanity. I found it hard to believe and concentrate on. I wanted to for the author be so in love with it, but I just couldn't bring my self to that point. Are woman that much in charge that you believe you could give them dominance over everyone. I feel like it could be anyone's game not just women. 

Hoe can you write a futurist novel and not include wireless systems. That brought me back to Y2K and stuff when we only had dial-up internet, I'm not going back. 

I did enjoy the sense of humor and would want people to read it just for that, but I'm not feminist and don't really care for the feminist types. I hope the author has great success.

Shut Up by: Anne Tibbets

Publication Date: April 2012

Overview: Mary’s older sister, Gwen, has royally screwed up her life. Not only is Gwen pregnant at seventeen, but she’s also decided to marry The Creep who knocked her up. Now Mary is powerless to stop her family from imploding. Her parents are freaking out, and to top it off, The Creep has a gross fascination with Mary while Gwen enjoys teasing her to tears for sport. Despite her brother’s advice to shut up, Mary can’t keep her trap closed and manages to piss off Mom so much it comes to blows. Mary doesn't know what to do, and all her attempts to get help are rejected. When she finally plans her escape, she fails to consider how it could destroy them all.

My thoughts: This book is an emotional rollarcoaster. The whole family is dysfunctional and out of control. in the best of times things are really great. Life is amazing and everyone is succeeding, but when it gets bad it gets deadly. Gwen has been the source of all the families worst nightmares. A teenager with anger issues is normal, but someone who has been through hell and had no one to turn to is worse then anything else. Her parents don't believe her about her past, but she doesn't make it easy to believe. 
Mary is screwed up. I know this feeling having been there myself. You want to do great but at some point you give up, give in, and forget your dreams. You live in a world full of hate and abuse and there is no way out. This girl has been slapped around, verbally abused and let's face it Creep would have molested her if he could and in some ways he went to far already. Gwen is blinded by her love for him. 
These parents are in need of help themselves they have been poisoned and need to be set free. The only way they can is counseling, which happens, but is it too late? 
I cried reading this. My life was like this, not the same story but the feelings Mary had the thoughts and emotions of the family I had around me for 19 years. I left it and then walked into a different situation. Life is hard and this story shows us a side that most people never get to see. Help those who need help and punish those whose hurt others.

Envy by: Elizabeth Miles

Publication Date: August 2013

Overview: Spring is coming, and the ice is slowly melting in Ascension…revealing the secrets buried beneath.
Emily Winters knows the Furies have roots in Ascension, Maine—but she’s about to discover that they’re deeper than she ever imagined. With the help of her new friend Drea, she vows to dig them out. But it’s hard to focus when she’s desperate to make up with JD, and to figure out why Crow, a mysterious Ascension High dropout, seems to be shadowing her.
Meanwhile, new girl Skylar McVoy is determined to leave her own dark past behind. So she’s thrilled when popular Gabby takes her under her wing, and the stunning and sophisticated Meg offers to give her a major makeover. But everyone knows what happens to the vainest girl of all…
It’s tempting to be naughty. But beware: the Furies are always watching, and their power grows stronger by the day.

My thoughts: The bloody Furies are still here and poor Emily is wasting away. Her best friend thinks she's a flake and J.D. wants nothing to do with her.The only reason J.D. believes that is because the furies made it so. I really feel bad for Emily. 

Drea her companion in crime is the only one who gets it and I believe this poor girl has gone loopy. Halfway through the book you get the sense that she has lost all direction. Crow, the new guy in Emily's life is acting shading and popping up in strange places. Is he stalking her because he wants to know her secrets are is he out to save her. 

Skyler the new girl, in under fury command. She is wrecking havoc is Gabby's life. She steal, cheats and lies to climb up the social ladder. And honey, don't  you know the higher you climb the harder you fall. And trust me this girl gets what is coming to her.

How to ride the world of Furies, I would like to know. I can't wait for the next installment!

My rating: 4 stars

Up Next: Eternity

Fury by: Elizabeth Miles

Publication Date: August 2012

Overview: Sometimes sorry isn't enough....

It’s winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...

Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year’s even better—the guy she’s been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there’s no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em’s best friend.

On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that’s nothing compared to what’s really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it’s only a matter of time before he’s exposed.

In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay.

My thoughts: The tale of Furies. I am quite obsessed with Greek mythology so this one got me. I was drawn in immediately and wanted things to work out for Emily. I love her character strong with a touch of weakness, which happens to be J.D. And one you think it would be Zach.

Zach the all-star footballer and boyfriend to Gabby, Em's best friend. Emily thinks it's OK to be with him, because he draws her in and make her think he will dump her best friend and that they can continue their relationship. Poor girl, boys lie...friends hate, and great plans are dumb.

I didn't feel this way at first, but after the things that occur in this book it makes one change their way of thinking. I really wanted Emily to be happy with J.D. Considering her best friend is one of those girls who you love to hate and can really do without I wanted Emily to steal her man away. But by the end I wanted her to be happy with J.D. and forget about her friendship with Gabby.

Fate come in many ways, screw me and get screwed kinda thing, seems to be the outcome of this book. Chase forgets about his old friend and he gets what is coming to him. Now Emily is going to get what is coming to her.

The Grimm Chronicles Vol. 1 by: Isabelle Fontaine and Ken Brosky

Publication Date: August 2012

Overview: 200 years ago, the Brothers Grimm unleashed their stories upon the world. Literally.  
Now the characters of the Grimm's stories walk among us. With every day that passes, they grow more evil. They are the Corrupted, and only a hero can stop them. 
For 18-year-old Alice Goodenough, that means taking precious time off from her summer vacation. In addition to volunteering at the local library, Alice must stop the Corrupted who are now actively hunting her down. With the help of her magic pen and her trusty rabbit friend, the world has suddenly gotten a lot more complex. The Corrupted are everywhere, and only Alice can see them for what they truly are. 
Episode 1: Prince Charming Must Die!  
Alice Goodenough has been chosen to be the new hero, but not before undergoing a test to see if she's worthy. Shaken, confused, Alice discovers that her weapon is a magic fountain pen and her ammunition is her mind: whatever she can draw, she can create. With the help of a rabbit friend, Alice must learn the ways of the hero and discover the truth about her frightening dreams: who is the terrible creature feeding on its victims at night? 
Episode 2: Happily Never After  
Alice's nightmares have begun to grow more real. Terrifying man-eating rats are plaguing the city of Chicago, and it's up to Alice to figure out a way to stop them. But before she can do that, she'll have to face off with an even more dangerous enemy sent to kill her. 
An enemy that has killed heroes before ...
Episode 3: Revenge of the Castle Cats 
After being rushed to the hospital, Alice Goodenough finds herself trapped in the worst dream imaginable: a horrible monster is hunting in the darkness, searching for its next victim: Alice. It will stop at nothing to kill her.
And that's not the worst of it. All across the city, people are growing more addicted to Castle Cats, a smartphone game created by Grayle Incorporated. And it's not just a game. The more you play, the more it controls you. Soon, Alice learns that the dwarfs who run Grayle Incorporated are watching her everywhere she goes, using human beings to spy on her.
There must be a confrontation. Sam Grayle and his brothers have to be stopped. And Alice is going to need help.

My thoughts: Honestly, I liked this book. I believe it fit along side all the others who have begun to emerge trying to bring these fairy tales to a new audience.The character is very relate-able something has yet to be found, in my opinion. She's not your typical: already fit, trained from birth type. She could be anyone, you or me! She has to learn everything thing from the start which is something that needs to be shown, she's the underdog.
This is a different spin on things. Most of the stories keep the good people good and the bad one bad, but they change it up. They make everyone part of The Corrupted/evil. I love the uncertainty whether or not Briar will stay on her side. This seems so real.

There are a few things I would change:
-First, the layout of the book. You are going between three characters thoughts and ways of telling their part, it's a bit much and gets a little confusing. The old journal entries give a good background/back story of information and Briar's part explains when the two are split up, but that's why it took me a while to get through it. I think there has to be a better way to lay that out. To make it easier to get through. 
-Secondly, I dislike that the First Corrupted she has to kill is her boyfriend. To me it felt as though she was tossed in the deep end of the pool with out learning to swim and expected to survive. Maybe adding that smaller character to get her feet wet, so we could see her fight the truth of things.
-Third, Her name was a bit odd to me, it seemed a bit last minute.

I have relieved many books from fans and from authors and I enjoy most of them. I do donate the duplicates to the local library which thanks you as well. 

I hope that this season you will think of those who have nothing and give to them. I am going to help hand out books to the unprivileged. Most people think that is a weird thing to pass out but with out they can not learn. I want kids to learn to love reading as much as I do.
