Emotionally driven story about one girl coming face to face with teenage pregnancy

Me, Him, Them and It takes a realistic and deeply emotional look at teenage pregnancy with a fresh narrator and Caela Carter makes the story her own not like reading the same old story again. I connected...

Loved this story! Great characters, fast plot and new take on vampires.

Black City enthralled me, it kept me entertained with this dark and beautifully crafted world from page one until the end and left me breathless and wanting more. I loved the characters. Being in Natalie and Ash's heads was...

Superb NA contemporary.

My first thoughts on putting the book down: More please? Unfortunately, this is not a series, but it definitely would make me interested if there was a follow up with the characters. I don't think it is in the cards, but alas, I think this...

Well done paranormal that left me wanting more of the plot, mystery, action, and especially more of

I was drawn in from page one of Mind Games, and I loved every second of it. Fia is exactly my kind of character that I love to read about. She can take care of herself, and she kicks butt. Her one weak spot is...

Fast paced contemporary that will break your heart.

Nobody But Us is one of those gripping, darkly beautiful gritty books that I could not look away from, and as the story continued, I knew it was going to break my heart but I still couldn't look away. I...

not exactly what I was expecting, but it was a quality enough book.

I liked Kira, she is definitely a confidant and capable main character. I like it when a lady knows what she wants, knows how to take care of herself, and kicks ass. What I didn't like about Prophecy was that...

Gripping addition to my current addictive series.

Whispers at Moonrise is a great addition to the Shadow Falls series. I love Kylie more and more as the books go on as she demonstrates her loyalty and her willingness to sacrifice for her friends. All though...

Must read series. Opal is hot, fast paced, with amazing characters.

This was an emotional and at times hard to deal with book only because I have come to care so much about these characters that it is very hard to see them in pain and struggling ). Dawson is so...

action packed, detailed story with a great plot and main character to adventure with.

I loved this premise and it was executed wonderfully. The attention to detail and the depth of the plot blew me away. I really connected with Pandora the main character and I loved...

Light fantasy from dual perspective. Not your average Picoult novel.

The first bit didn't suck me on the way I wanted it to. But once it got to Delilah's chapter, I liked her and her voice, and I was sold. I connected with her on a personal level with her being on the outside of social...

Great addition to a superb series

This one sucked me in and didn't let go just like the others in the series. Kylie continues to surprise me with her bravery and determined mindedness to find out who and what she is. Every time something new arises, I am just as surprised and...

ritty contemporary with dark themes about the reality of life both good and bad,

This is a mature book, with sad themes laced with hope especially at the end. This is not light, not fluffy, and the beautiful cover fits in some ways but if you go in expecting any thing except dark and gritty, you are probably going...

Strange but worthwhile book about tough issues and choices.

I was drawn to this book because I liked the sound of the premise, a sick brother and secrets of his new friend that might make him have to chose between saving the two. ...

Then You Were Gone was a quick read, I couldn't put it down and had to figure out exactly what was going on with Dakota. I couldn't decide if I really thought she was dead, and if so, was it a suicide, or was...

Dark book with a strong yet flawed but relatable main character, sprinkled with light moments

Wow. This is one powerful and emotional book. I really connected with Rae and appreciated how she always used poetry as her healthy outlet for the negatives that were going on in her life. She was strong, and caring to a fault, which led her to...
