►Book Review Monday: The Unbecoming Of Mara Dyer
 |
| (edited by myself) |
- The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #1) by Michelle Hodkin
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can’t remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously unharmed.
There is.
She doesn’t believe that after everything she’s been through, she can fall in love.
She’s wrong.
The first book-series that I am recommending to you is
the “Mara Dyer”. This series is actually a trilogy, the first book is “The
Unbecoming of Mara Dyer”, the second is “The Evolution of Mara Dyer” and the
third is “The Retribution of Mara Dyer” which will be released in June 10th
of 2014.
Mara Dyer…She has some... well,
issues. She was a normal, happy, teenage girl with a perfect life, a perfect
boyfriend and with perfect school grades. Her life will change radically after
a horrible accident.
She losses her best friend and her
boyfriend. Mara’s new life begins at the hospital, when she wakes
up and realises that she forgot everything from the accident’s day. Strange and
creepy??Oh YES!
Her family decides to move out, in
another city, in Florida. She will have her brothers, Daniel and Joseph stand
for her, and of course her parents too. Mara realizes soon that she can’t run
away from her past so easily.
The last thing she needs now is to
fall in love or is it??I am going to tell you a name, so “listen” carefully:
Noah Shaw.

So many strange things happened in this book. You are
kept in endless suspense. This book gives you a “nail biting tension”. Mara is
one of the strongest female characters I have ever read .Mara is smart, sassy,
authentic, unstable and very confusing sometimes. It was just so strange
reading this book because you sort of felt like her, kind of losing your mind,
wondering if that was happening around her was real or just a hallucination,
which is kind of creepy.
How awesome are her brothers! Daniel especially,
always covering for her and doing things for her. INCREDIBLE! Joseph is just
the sweetest brother ever you will want to steal him!!
Noah…The most popular guy in school with the
reputation to match, it was just amazing. He is sarcastic, honest, good looking,
at the begging a typical bad-boy player and so flirty. I love
how the relationship between Noah and Mara deepens, we got to uncover some
secrets and stories.
Hodkin’s writing consumes you so easily and quickly.
It is simple but so addicting. The writing simply blew me away.

►Swoon Worthy Saturday (May 10)

Saturday is a day for swooning. Swoon Worthy Saturday is a weekly meme by StayBookish where in we present a fictional boy who has swept us off our feet, given us butterflies, made our heart do acrobatics and driven us absolutely crazy!
This Saturday, I am swooning over.....
Andrew Parrish ..... from J.A. Redmerski's the Edge Of Never
Reasons I am swooning over him ...
He has a great taste of music (Kansas,Bad Company,Aerosmith..)
He does everything for the woman he loves.
He is gorgeous and confident (green eyes- dimples)
His tattoo down the left side of his ribs….
He is naughty , funny,flirty,honest and sarcastic.
He is irresistable,he is HOT !!
He is THE one!
Swoon Worthy Moments/Quotables
#1 “The heart always wins out over the mind. The heart, although reckless and suicidal and a masochist all on it’s own always gets it’s way. The mind may be what’s best but I don’t give a shit what my mind is telling me anymore. Right now I just want to live in the moment.”
#2 “I don’t think you ever really fall out of love with someone. I think when you fall in love, like true love, it’s love for life. All the rest is just experience and delusions.”
#3 “I have never lived the way I lived during my short time with you. For the first time in my life, I’ve felt whole, alive, free. You were the missing piece of my soul, the breath in my lungs, the blood in my veins.”
#4 “I guess we are juste two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl," I say.
Her eyes narrow. "I've heard that somewhere before."
I smile and point at her briefly. "Pink Floyd. But it's the truth."
"You think we're lost?"
I tilt my head back a little and look up at the stars behind her and say, "In society maybe. But together, no. I think we're right where we need to be.”

WHAT I FOUND ONLINE THIS WEEK!!
Nowhere but Here
Synopsis via Goodreads:
A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius.
Kate Corbin has lost her spark. From the outside, her life seems charmed. She has a handsome, long-term boyfriend and a budding journalism career at a popular Chicago newspaper. But in reality, her relationship is going nowhere, and she’s quickly losing motivation for what she once believed was her dream job. When her boyfriend dumps her unceremoniously, Kate loses all hope of finding love.
With no living family and few friends, Kate confides in her boss. Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, he gives Kate the opportunity to jumpstart her career. The assignment: to interview the famously reclusive R.J. Lawson, a wealthy tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as a Napa Valley vintner. The week takes an unexpected turn, however, when Lawson refuses to divulge any information. Desperate for a lead, Kate turns to Jamie, a vineyard hand who shows her the romance of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. But his connection to Lawson is ambiguous, and when Jamie disappears before the end of the week, Kate is left to investigate another story: the truth behind the man who stole her heart.
Blood Will Tell (Warriors of Ankh #1)
Synopsis via Goodreads:
What would you do if you were born to be a predator? Would you fight your natural instincts or give in to your nature?
Eden is a soul eater closing in on her awakening. Her family has convinced her that soon she will have to take a life in order to save her own. It’s a decision Eden doesn’t want to deal with even as her hunger for souls grows stronger every day.
To complicate her impossible position, new guy in school Noah Valois’ determination to befriend her puts Eden in touch with a humanity she’s never known. Addicted to his company, his friendship and affection, she becomes more and more terrified that giving into her hunger will mean losing him forever…
… But when she discovers that Noah is not what he seems, his betrayal forces her to face two choices. One will offer her revenge and the destruction of a boy she loved. The other may offer her a life of eternal redemption…

Stone Cold Touch (The Dark Elements #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Synopsis via Goodreads:
Every touch has its price
Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.
But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…
