Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by breaking the spine that spotlights upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating.

This week I am posting my WoW on Tuesday because the book that I have been "eagerly anticipating" comes out tomorrow eeeeeeeeek!!!!! 
This week I am featuring VEX by Addison Moore, which is the 5th book in the Celestra Series! I am SUPER excited because all of the other books in the series have been amazing, so if you haven't read this series you definitely need to!  Im going to link the goodreads pages for all the books in the series below so you can go read them!  So now for what you have all been waiting for the exclusive jacket blurb for VEX!

Seventeen year-old, Skyla Messenger has found herself lying on an altar as a sacrifice to the enemy.
Being an angel of the highest Nephilim order hasn’t been easy. Her first love has proved untrustworthy, the Sectors and the Fems see her as nothing more than a celestial pawn, and the dead girl she helped bring back to life has blackmailed her into relinquishing her boyfriend.
But, Skyla is determined to change all that. She’s decided to never trust Logan again, to turn the tables on the Sectors and Fems, and get dirt on Chloe to blackmail her into leaving Gage alone. But, when one obstacle after another gets in her way, can Skyla find the strength to carry on or should she sacrifice herself to the Sector in her life and put everything in order while losing everything she values most?
 Books in the Celestra Series

Review:The Vincent Boys

Author: Abbi Glines
Buy it: Amazon Barnes&Noble
Summary (from Goodreads)
Being the good girl isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Ashton Gray has grown weary of playing the part to please her parents, and to be worthy of the town’s prince charming, Sawyer Vincent. Maybe That’s why she’s found herself spending time with Sawyer’s cousin, Beau, while he’s away for the summer camping with his family. Beau is nothing like her perfect boyfriend. He’s the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, dangerous in ways she’s only day dreamed about, and the one guy she should stay away from. 

Beau never envied Sawyer his loving parents, his big nice home, or his position as quarterback. He loves him like a brother. Which is why he's tried everything in his power to keep his distance from Sawyer’s girlfriend. Even if he has loved her since the age of five, Ashton is Sawyer’s girl, so therefore she’s off limits. But when Sawyer leaves for the summer, Ashton, the one girl Beau would move Heaven and Earth for, decides she wants to get into trouble. Stabbing the one person who’s always accepted him and stood by him in the back, is the cost of finally holding Ashton Gray in his arms. Is she worth losing his cousin over?.... Hell Yeah.
My Review:
I think just saying that I loved it would be an understatement!  If you follow me on twitter you probably already know I couldn't put the book down!  I even attempted to put on my make-up while reading this book because I did not want to stop!!! This book had me hooked pretty much from page 1.  Okay so enough about my addiction to this book...now on to the Hotttt characters!
I could go on forever about Beau Vincent! His bad boyness will get any girl hooked! His and Ashton's relationships had amazing, perfect CHEMISTRY! He is everything you would expect the hot bad boy to be plus more! 
I also loved all the childhood "flash backs" in this book.  It makes the love stories more in depth, and shows how Ashton and Beau's connection isn't just a fling!
5 Stars
okay so I was listening to this song this morning on the radio, and all I could think was The Vincent Boys!!! so I though I would share it with yall :)

Review: The Childe

Author: C.A. Kunz
Buy it: Amazon Barnes&Noble
Summary (from Goodreads)
Cat Colvin 
Average Teenager? 
Or Something Else Entirely? 
  Cat Colvin is pretty much your typical run-of-the-mill teenager. Sure, she’s taller than most girls, has a mane of fiery red hair that’s impossible to tame, is left-handed, and her eyes are two different colors, but that’s where the differences end . . . unless you include the minor detail of her slow transformation into a Childe. 
  High school can definitely be challenging, and for Cat it’s no different. This is especially true when she’s faced with the daunting task of trying to hide her budding Childe traits as they begin to reveal themselves at the most inopportune times. To make matters worse, her family is oddly dead set against Ryan, the boy she grows to like. But everyone has their secrets: is Ryan really what he seems to be, and what is Cat’s family not telling her? 
  The Childe is the first book in this coming-of-age fantasy series which follows Cat's life through the twists and turns toward finding out whom and what she really is. Come and take the plunge with Cat into a world filled with mystery, biting humor, and the paranormal.

My Review
This book has wonderfully complex characters and a world that's so intriguing and mysterious you wont be able to put the book down!

I will have to say the characters were my favorite part of the book! I love how Cat (the protagonist) is surrounded by a wonderful family and awesome friends that are supporting her.  This book is written in third person omniscient which was a little weird at first to read.  For me, it took some getting use to, but I am so glad it was written like that.  If the authors wouldn't have let me get into all the characters thoughts I wouldn't have had the chance to get to know how awesome they are, and also it's necessary because Cat is pretty oblivious.  I want to tell you all about the character's awesomeness, but I also want you to discover them for yourself!

Carol and Adam do a great job of enticing the reader! They give just enough of the plot, so the reader gets a taste of it, so they want more.  In no way is this book predictable!  I really liked this because sometimes readers can open the front cover and know what the ending is going to be, and The Childe is not like that!

just to add to all of that the cover is fantabulous and so are the illustrations throughout the book!

WARNING when you read this book your going to want to read book two immediately, but it's not out yet so patience is needed

5 Stars

Special Someone Saturday


A weekly meme hosted by The Reading Fish! So this weeks question is...*drumroll*


You were just given the wish to take one Book character out of the Book, and place them in your life....Who would be that character, and what role would they play in your life?


okay so I am pretty pathetic when it comes to Fisher Amelie's book, The Understorey, and her male lead, Elliot Gray.  Yah so if he and Jules weren't so blissfully happy right now... I would take him out of the book and he would be my boyfriend (husband to be ;)) hehe.  He is the most perfect Christian gentleman that ever walked the (novel) face of the earth! and in my head he is pretty HOTT too :D oh and we could totally re-create the library scene...okay so this isn't very Christian of me so I better stop! alright so does that fully answer your question?? oh ya and go buy The Understorey here and go check it out on my Favorites List.

"Waiting on" Wednesday: Existence



"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at breaking the spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

For my first Waiting on Wednesday post, I chose the AMAZING Abbi Glines.  Her book Existence is coming out December 13, 2011 and I can't wait!!!


Summary (from Goodreads)
What happens when you are stalked by Death? You fall in
love with him, of course. Pagan Moore doesn’t cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.

Seventeen year old, Pagan Moore, has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers, she often saw walking through walls, were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn’t let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she steps out of her car, the first day of school and sees an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is she knows he's dead. Not only does he not go away, when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done, he speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What Pagan doesn’t realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul, she is falling in love with, is not a soul. He is Death and he is about to break all the rules.
