Teaser Tuesday 10/22 & Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Allegiant (Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth

One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?


The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.


Review and Teaser!!!!

I will not reveal anything until November when the Divergent fans have had a chance to read (and be angry) Allegiant. The ending is way off base to what I thought and would have wanted to happen. It and the whole series deserve the upmost praise for the world that has captured this nations attention. Definitely a 5 star read!!! Now for the teaser:

He bends over to untie his shoes. "So, have you been ostracized from your little crowd of devotees?"
  "No," I say automatically. Then I add, Maybe. But they aren't my devotees."
  "Please. They are like the Cult of Four."
I can't help but laugh. "Jealous? Wish you had a Cult of Psychopaths to call your very own?"
One of his eyes twitched up. "If I was a psychopath, I would have killed you in your sleep by now."
  "And added my eyeballs to your eyeball collection, no doubt."

Peter laughs too, and I realize that I am exchanging jokes and conversation with the initiate who stabbed Edward in the eye and tried to kill my girlfriend—if she's still that. But then, he's also the Dauntless who helped us end the attack simulation and saved Tris from a horrible death. I am not sure which actions should weigh more heavenly in my mind. Maybe I should forget them all, let him begin again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The final book in the Trylle Trilogy. I love this series!! It's about trolls, but not the ugly kind. And they have powers too. Wendy is a mix breed. And she is in love...and is being threatened. Her father is convinced that he is going to rule over Trylle, but not on Wendy's watch. She is going to protect her kingdom or die trying. That is what everyone else is going to try to prevent, especially a certain someone!!! ;) This is the best out of the three!!! It is recommended that you read the first and second books, Switched and Torn. Amanda Hocking has done a great job with this trilogy, and I can't wait to see what more books she has in store.

The Transfer (Divergent novella #1)

More Four! Fans of the Divergent series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth will be thrilled by "The Transfer," the first of four new short stories told from Four’s perspective. Each brief story explores the world of the Divergent series through the eyes of the mysterious but charismatic Tobias Eaton, revealing previously unknown facets of his personality, backstory, and relationships

The Transfer: A Divergent Story (Divergent, #0.1)The Transfer: A Divergent Story by Veronica Roth

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It is a novella. It might be short but it gives you an in-depth look at Tobias and how he grew up even though we know what happens from Divergent and Insurgent. It is brief, but it show Tobias before the Choosing Ceremony and Marcus, just like how Tobias describes him. Personally, it was too short for my liking but novellas are always too short. It was great, but now I want the other three books: The Initiate: A Divergent Story, The Son: A Divergent Story, and The Traitor: A Divergent Story.
