Review: Dare You To, Katie McGarry

May 10, 2013 Reviews 3 Comments Post em Português

Dare You ToIf anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk’s home life, they’d send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom’s freedom and her own happiness. That’s how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn’t want her and going to a school that doesn’t understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn’t get her, but does….

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can’t tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn’t be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won’t let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all.

Coming up next… #30: Dare You To, Katie McGarry

April 17, 2013 Coming up next... 3 Comments Post em Português
Coming up next… has been loosely inspired on Should Be Reading’s Teaser Tuesdays, but we decided not to have a specific day for it, and we modified a few details from the original. On Coming up next… we’ll talk a little bit about a book we’re reading or we have already finished reading, but its review has not been published yet.

How it’s going to work: We’ll post an excerpt of the book,
without spoilers, and we’ll make a little note about our reading,
with an expected publication date for the review, if any.

Dare You ToOur book for today’s Coming up next… is Katie McGarry’s Dare You To, sequel of Pushing the Limits. We’ve got this book from NetGalley this month as part of their review program. Katie got even better in her writing on this one, but we’ve got to be honest and say that we are missing more Noah and Echo. Hard.

There’s an excerpt below:

“This overwhelming, encompassing feeling is love. It’s not perfect and it’s messy as hell. And it’s exactly what I need.”

Our review of Dare You To should be up next month, near the release date.

Review: The Eternity Cure, Julie Kagawa

April 3, 2013 Reviews 10 Comments Post em Português
Attention! If you haven’t read The Immortal Rules yet and
don’t want to know spoilers of the series, don’t read this post!

The Eternity CureIn Allison Sekemoto’s world, there is one rule left: Blood calls to blood.

Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren.

The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.

Review: Tiger’s Curse, Colleen Houck

March 25, 2013 Reviews 4 Comments Post em Português

Tiger’s CursePassion. 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. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with dark forces, spellbinding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.

Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.

Review: Beautiful Darkness, Kami Garcia and Margareth Stohl

March 6, 2013 Reviews 4 Comments Post em Português
Attention! If you haven’t read Beautiful Creatures yet and
don’t want to know spoilers of the series, don’t read this post!

Beautiful DarknessEthan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena’s family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.

Sometimes life-ending.

Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan’s eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there’s no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town’s tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.
