Everneath by Brodi Ashton

Loved this story: a must read.

Nikki Beckett didn't realize what she was getting herself into when she chose to go to Everneath. But she realizes what she is missing and takes a chance at trying to get her life back. In the process she learns that Cole wasn't helping but destroying her while Jack well that part hummm we will see.

I don't remember Hades and Persphine story, but I loved this book. Enough that I didn't sleep well while reading I was trying to solve and fix the problems within the story. I love Jack and Nikki, and felt they were very easy to relate too.

14 & up is my personal recommendation!
5 out of 5 stars!

Ephemeral by Addison Moore

In the middle of the woods Laken finds herself being chased. Running for her life from something or someone that seems to want her dead. That is until he rescues her. Sending her away telling her to never return to the woods, that they are not safe. She can't remember anything that has happened except for flying through a windshield, knowing it would be the end... Yet somehow she is here. How did this happen? And why are strangers claiming to be family and friends and why can she not remember them? Why does Laken remember a alcoholic mom and a little sister yet no dad. This reality that she is in is so drastically different. And names of loved ones from home seem to be here, but are they really?


I love this story it is so Addison Moore yet, so very different, zombies? People claiming to be loved ones, DNA agreeing but none of it makes sense. Oh me oh my! And chocolate heavenly chocolate. I love you more then I use to. Lol.

Read Addison Moore's Celestra series before reading this.

Not for any of my friends with teens wanting to read. 16 and up unless you are extremely comfortable with intense suggested sex.

Girl in the Clockwork Collar by Kady Cross

This is book 2 in the Steampunk Chronicles:

 

Griffin, Finley, Emily and Sam are headed to America to save their friend Jasper Renn. And find out why he is accused of murder. Did he do it and who is Dalton? Upon arriving in America they find that they aren't the only ones who are looking for Jasper. Who is this mystery man and how will he hinder or help their progress in saving their friend.

 

I won't give much away: There is heartbreak, death and enough drama in between to keep you hooked. I love steampunk. And knowing that I can't read another Kady Cross novel anytime soon made me take WEEKS to finish this book. Not out of not loving, but because I dearly LOVE Finley and Griffin! I can't wait to see what is going to happen.

 

I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

Suggested reading age: 12 and up

Rapture by Lauren Kate

Rapture is the 4th and Final installment in the Fallen Series

 by Lauren Kate.

I have to say that I was beyond delighted in the end of this story.

I knew that there would be a twist of some kind with Lucifer, but didn't see this twist coming. I wondered if Luce was what we come to find out she is but really was pleased that she had to find out on her own, that no one could help her. I was saddened that someone had to die through Luce's hands to have her find out the truths. And most of all I was so glad it had a happy ending. Because of the nature of this book series I am leaving this quite vague... happy reading.

12 and up is the age range that is series is appropriate for~

~I rate this 5 stars... I really loved Daniel and Luce from book 1!

Circle of Fire by Michelle Zink

Circle of Fire is book 3 in the Prophecy of the Sisters Trilogy by Michelle Zink

Locating the last key is one of the last things that Lia must do before she and Alice can meet. But Lia also has to figure out how to bring her sister from the dark side, and protect the world from the gate of Samael. Lia is saddened when she finds out that in her time away from her home that Alice has not only become friendly with James Lia's former boyfriend, but she is now engaged to him. But in the end I have to say I felt sorry for Alice, she was not everything you think. I really liked that way the story played out and left me with the story wrapped up neatly. I love the love story with Dimitri and Lia and would be delighted to have a spin off story with them.

I would recommend this to 16 and up. Only because of one scene in the the book. It isn't overly explicit but implied.

I rate this a 4 star book... really good!

Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink

Guardian of the Gate is the 2nd book in the

Prophecy of the Sister series

By Michelle Zink

Lia is in London preparing with her two friends Sonia and Luisa to meet her Aunt Abigail in Altus. While doing so the ladies attend society parties and meet a handsome stranger, and many ladies of the city. James continues to send Lia letters but she never responds to them. When time comes for Lia and her friends to leave she is told her faithful family friend Edmund is going to take them to Altus. The journey is long and hard, with many trials along the way. Can Lia get the pages needed to solve the prophecy? And can she and her friends avoid the souls that want Lia to help them.

I was worried I wouldn't like this book, but just the opposite. I loved it. I loved the love story twist that is thrown in, and how it plays into what happens. I love the connection that occurs, and feel that there is more to his abilities then we are told in this book.

4 out of 5 stars!

Prophecy Sisters by Michelle Zink

Lia is saddened when her father mysteriously dies. But that is just the beginning of strange things that Lia learns. She quickly learns that her twin sister Alice has the power to speak to the other side, and knows things that Lia does not. Quickly Lia learns that she is part of an ancient prophecy and that she must choose to be the gate or stand against it.

I really enjoyed this book. And it has just enough of a love story to wonder where or how it comes in to play later. I love that the story left me hanging but not beyond desperate to pick up the next one.

Great for 12 and up!
