True Colors by Melissa Pearl

True Colors by Melissa Pearl

Caitlyn Davis always cruised through life, not being the type to ruffle feathers or involve herself in high school drama. That is, until a chance encounter with a strange, homeless man changes everything. 

Suddenly, Caitlyn has the ability to see behind people's masks. She discovers that her life isn’t as simple as she imagined and high school is filled with secrets...some very sinister ones. 

Unable to ignore her new gift, Caitlyn embarks on a mission to learn why one of her friends suddenly appears terrified, but masks her fear with a bright, smiling veneer. Will Caitlyn's new ability lead her into hot water? Or is her new found vision 
a blessing that will expose her friends' true colors? 

Her quest will lead Caitlyn to lose friends, stand up for those in need, and even find love. 

At Palisades High School every face tells a story...

First of all, I would like to thank Evatopia for emailing me and introducing to this book. It is amazing. Now, on to the review. I love the cover!! It is a beautiful mask and has beautiful colors. Now, I know when you read the summary and you come to the part about the homeless man, it seems really creepy and should have been worded differently. Just for clarification, there is a homeless man that changes her life, but you have to read to understand. Caitlyn, her best friends, and her boyfriend go to a club where there is a homeless who is begging for money. After that, that is were you have to read. 

Anyway, I love this book. It is all about people and how they don't show their true emotions/intentions. Hence the masks. Caitlyn has gotten the power to see beyond the masks to see what people are truly feeling. Plus, there is a college hottie who everyone loves and has wash-board abs. Anyway, one of Caitlyn's friends is in trouble, but she doesn't know why though she does know that it involves her friends boyfriend. Problem is that everyone thinks that they are the golden couple. And the college hottie? Will they get together or will the be pulled apart? Never know until you read the book! Tip: Always know who your real friends are because they could be hiding behind a mask.

WoW 1/15/14 The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3) by Michelle Hodkins

The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3) 

by Michelle Hodkins

It had to end sometime, but Mara had no idea it would end like this. Experience the mind-blowing conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer trilogy.

Loyalties are betrayed, guilt and innocence tangle, and fate and chance collide in this shocking conclusion to Mara Dyer’s story.

This is one of my favorite thriller series. It seems like a psychological thriller, but it is the best one I have read so far. I recommend this series to anyone who likes paranormal romance, YA, mystery, and fantasy books. I recommend  the first book to one of my best friends and he loved it! Now we anxiously wait for June 10 when this last book comes out and the mystery of Mara Dyer is solved!

Shatter Me & Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Shatter Me & Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi 

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

tick
tick
tick
tick
tick
it's almost
time for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

   What would it be like to never touch another person. To never get close to anyone in case of the chance that they will touch your skin. Non of us could ever go through what Juliette had to go through. Juliette has been in an insane asylum. She hasn't talked or touched anyone in 264 days. Then one day they gave her a roommate. A boy named Adam, but everything is not as it seems. He is part of the Reestablishment, the people who locked her up in the first place. Then we meet Warner. He is the head person for their sector and the son of the Supreme Commander. He will make her feel like a monster. But there is Adam and he believes differently. And he can do the most unexpected thing ever. And this is how Juliette and Adam escape the Reestablishment and find sanctuary in Omega Point. This is what starts everything. Nobody is able to touch Juliette. She accidentally killed a little boy by touching him. She was just trying to help him up because he fell. 

   Tahereh Mafi did an excellent job with Shatter Me. It combines kids love of superpowers and a dystopian world were one organization is trying right the world of all its wrongs. Juliette is an interesting character. The ability to kill with a touch. It's not something she ever wanted. She just wants to be loved is impossible with the her power. Adam can touch Juliette. He gives her a reason to be happy, to live, and to fight. Warner just wants Juliette to understand that they belong together, that they are the same, and that he understands the pain she has gone through.

    Juliette and Adam are now in Omega Point, a resistance that is full of teens and adults who have gifts like Juliette. But there is something wrong with Adam. He has a gift as well. He can disable other abilities. But it comes with a price, especially when it come to Juliette. But Juliette and her friend Kenji have discovered something about Juliette's gift. When she freaks out, her body goes into protective state. And when people who are in the patrol go missing, she will have to use her ability, but only after one of the biggest reveals comes into play. Warner has been taken as a hostage by Omega Point, and Juliette has been appointed to watch over him. She will see a different side of Warner that no one else has seen and because of the earlier reveal, everyone will know the secret Juliette and Warner have kept. She will have to choose between Warner and Adam soon or everything the Omega has worked for will be ruined and Juliette is ready to deal out the punishment for the pain everyone has caused her.

   Unravel Me was one of the best books I have ever read. There were reveals that I didn't think were possible, but the way Tahereh Mafi did it made it possible. She has now twisted everything we knew to be true. She has now given Juliette every reason to go after the Reestablishment and the Supreme Commander and she will. And because of the twists, Juliette has been given a choice. A choice that will be very hard to make. A choice between guys. I can't wait for Ignite Me.

Her sister was taken and she knew that the mysterious yet handsome angel could and will help her because she has his wings!!! I am excited for this book t come out.

But Raffe has a decision to make, recapture his wings and take his right place amongst the angels or helping Penryn survive? Which will he choose? It is going to be action packed, a hint of thriller, and possibly some romance? 

Collide (Collide #1)

Collide (Collide #1) by Shelly Crane

Sherry has always known there was something out there. She's eighteen, works for a tabloid newspaper in Chicago and has a brother, Danny who is a lazy mooch. They live a pretty normal dull life with hippie parents and a normal existence. Then the moon dissapears and people start to go missing only to reappear later, but different.

She begins to unravel the truth about Merrick, about what he's really doing here, about the way he looks at her, about the crazy dangerous world they live in. Can he convince her that he's here to help? Will she like what she finds when she opens up to the truth? Will he be the one to love her when everyone else has failed her? Will he be able to protect her?

Can love really transcend time and space? In this book, it can!! Completely enchanting tale of a regular girl, her "gifted" brother, and her brother's protecter. Falling in love isn't easy for Shelly. Especially, after the moon disappeared and The Immortals came and hurt people. But she did with her brother's protector.  Dangers lie ahead but they will face them together and with the others in their group of "gifted" and Keepers. I was completely captivated by this novel. I love Shelly Crane's novels and this is one of her best.  Such a great love story about two different people form two different places falling in love. Just like Romeo and Juliet, but without all the dying. Totally recommended!!! Five star worthy!!!!! I can't wait for the second book, Uprising.

The Beautiful and Cursed (The Beautiful and Cursed #1)

After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.

In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.

And Grayson has gone missing.

No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.

Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.




The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In the beginning, I thought this book wouldn't be very good. I was wrong. This is a great book for those of you who like steampunk books. It has the same old story but with a twist. There are Angels, Demons and Gargoyles. Yes. I said gargoyles. The stone statues you would see on a church like in the movie the Hunchback of Notre Dame. THis book takes place in Paris, where Ingrid, her sister Gabby, and her mother find out that out that Ingrid's twin, Grayson, is missing. The only thing Ingrid wants to do is find, but there is more around the corner then just the strangely handsome servant, Luc. There is a whole other world that Gabby and Ingrid don't know about, but will soon play a huge part in.

I think this book was well written, giving all the main characters a chance to tell their side of the story. It is a multi-split book, as I call it. Multiple characters tell their side of the exact same story and that is what makes this book such an epic read. It's spontaneous! Who knew Gargoyles could be this handsome! I can't wait for the second book, The Lovely and the Lost, to come out!

This week's WoW book is........Toxic Heart (Mystic City, #2) by Theo Lawrence.

A city in flames. A trust betrayed. A perfect love destroyed.

Has Aria lost Hunter, her one true love?

Ever since rebellion broke out in Mystic City, pitting the ruling elite against the magic-wielding mystics, Aria has barely seen her boyfriend. Not surprising, since Hunter is the leader of the mystic uprising, and he'll do whatever it takes to win freedom for his people—even if that means using Aria.

But Aria is no one's pawn. She believes she can bring the two warring sides together, save the city, and win back the Hunter she fell in love with.

Before she can play peacemaker, though, Aria will need to find the missing heart of a dead mystic. The heart gives untold powers to whoever possesses it, but finding it means seeking out a fierce enemy whose deepest desire is for Aria to be gone—forever.

Mystic City Synopsis:

For fans of  Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels.

Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself. 

Of Beast and Beauty

In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...

In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.

Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.

As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.

Passion. Fate. Loyalty.

Would you risk it all to change your destiny?

The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world.

Amazing. I couldn't put it down. It's a hopeless romantic's favorite book. You just can't help but love the characters, except the villain. It's a must read for everyone. Completely captivating. I have read a book like this. It is one of many favorite books. Now I have a white tiger obsession!!! Ren is a handsome, romantic, charming guy who is every girls dream in a guy. Kelsey is a smart, sarcastic, down to earth girl who know what she wants, but is afraid of what will happen when she lets her guard around her down. Colleen Houck did a fantastic job writing this book and I can't wait for the rest of the series.!!!!!

Crown of Midnight (The Throne of Glass 2)

An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.

Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely fabulous!!!! The next step up from the Throne of Glass. I couldn't stop reading. I had to see where this was going to go. The plots, the betrayals, the romance, and the friendships.

You will find out what makes her Celeana, who is she and who her parents are, and who is beg=hind her parents death as well as the murderer of a friend hers. It is a most read. But before this, read the Throne of Glass. Sarah Mass did a fabulous job for the sequal and I can't wait to find out whats in store for Celeana, Chaol, and Dorian.

Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.

Two guys, one girl. Same old story. WRONG!!! This is so much more. It's about love, choices, and free will. Skye has a choice to make. Will she choose Asher and free will or Devin and no chaos in the world? Who knows, well besides those of you who have read the book. It is a different take on an angel-inspired book.I thought it would be another "girl falls for fallen angel" book, but I was wrong. I couldn't put it down. I'm just happy I'm not her. Two boys who are very different. Two councils who want to use her. Yeah, I like my life better. But I can't wait to see how things turn out in the second book. But to some up the book, its: Guardians VS. Rebels. Light VS. Dark. Orders VS. Love. Choices will be made, but what and who will she choose?

Indelible

Some things are permanent. Indelible. And they cannot be changed back.

Joy Malone learns this the night she sees a stranger with all-black eyes across a crowded room—right before the mystery boy tries to cut out her eye.

Instead, the wound accidentally marks her as property of Indelible Ink, and this dangerous mistake thrusts Joy into an incomprehensible world—a world of monsters at the window, glowing girls on the doorstep and a life that will never be the same.

Now, Joy must pretend to be Ink's chosen one—his helper, his love, his something for the foreseeable future…and failure to be convincing means a painful death for them both.

Swept into a world of monsters, illusion, immortal honor and revenge, Joy discovers that sometimes, there are no mistakes.

Somewhere between reality and myth lies…

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fabulous!!! Fascinating!! What an exceptional book. I didn't understand what was happening at first, then as I read on it just got better!!!! Such an interesting take on a book. There are always copies of mythes like angels, werewolves, vampire, etc, but this is uniquely it's own category!!!! Indelible is a must read for everyone!! You have to be someone who has either the Sight or a strong Will to survive The Twixt. And some advice: always remember to take the message.

Silver

"As I step into the room, a silver flash blurs my vision. Before I can take a breath, the world falls away."

Brianna has always felt invisible. People stare right past her, including the one boy she can't resist, Blake Williams. But everything changes at a house party when Brianna's charm bracelet slips off and time stands still. In that one frozen, silver moment, Blake not only sees her, he recognizes something deep inside her that she's been hiding even from herself.

Discovering she is descended from Danu, the legendary Bandia of Celtic myth, Brianna finds herself questioning the truth of who she is. And when she accidentally binds her soul to Blake, their mutual attraction becomes undeniable.

But Blake has his own secret, one that could prove deadly for them both.

Bound together by forbidden magic, Brianna and Blake find themselves at the heart of an ancient feud that threatens to destroy their lives and their love.



Silver by Talia Vance
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book. One of my many favorites. Very captivating. Girl likes guy, guy doesn't see girl until a certain situation happens, and then comes the aftermath. It's very original. It has its own category, instead of being in the popular categories like vampires, fairies, etc. Those who like kinda paranormal romance, contemporary, YA, or fantasy would like this book. I highly recommend it.
