My Soul to Steal release date!

As many of you know the Soul Screamers series is one of my favorites and guess hat today is? SHELF DATE FOR MY SOUL TO STEAL! Here is the trailer and a blurb!





YOU WANT MY SOUL AND MY BOYFRIEND?

Trying to work things out with
Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can’t just
pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their
relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to
take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara,
the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft
them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she
survives.

And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to
death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.

I DON'T THINK SO.

Season's Greeting!

Review: Tyger, Tyger by Kersten Hamilton

Novel: Tyger Tyger: A Goblin Wars Book
Author: Kersten Hamilton
Pages: 320
Genre: YA (Fantasy)



Teagan Wylltson's best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures--goblins, shape-shifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty--are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn't worried. Her life isn't in danger. In fact, it's perfect. She's on track for a college scholarship. She has a great job. She's focused on school, work, and her future. No boys, no heartaches, no problems.
Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives. Finn's a bit on the unearthly beautiful side himself. He has a killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. And either he's crazy or he's been haunting Abby's dreams, because he's talking about goblins, too . . . and about being The Mac Cumhaill, born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby's right. The goblins are coming.


(I will not be posting any spoilers! Only opinion for the sake of those of us who love to have our first look at a book be untainted by foreknowledge.)

Down to earth. Finally. I was able to say it. A main character who is down to earth. Teagan is my kind of girl. She adores her family which is something I always love in a novel, she doesn’t care if she is the school cheerleader and just wants to be herself and is NOT always drooling over boys. I have been reading many novels lately that have a girl who is just waiting, wanting and desperate to fall in love. Teagan is not. I won’t spoil is she does end up finding a love interest of not *wink**wink* but I love this character.

That said, I would love this novel for Teagan alone but it also has adventure, creatures from the old stories such as goblins and each character actually had their own attributes that makes them special and unique making you love each one of them. I think readers of the Spiderwick Chronicles or other creature and myth based stories would enjoy this novel. It had an amazing main character, it is a great novel, even if it does have some really yucky uglies in it as some of the villains. It is overall, a satisfying read even if it won’t make it to my favorites shelf.




4 Stars!

Would I suggest you read it:

If you love Goblins you will love this, if you love down to earth main characters, you will love Teagan and it is a great story for a wider range of age groups so YES I would suggest it.

Teaser Tuesday: The Luxe

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser:



This was not the heart-stopping touch that she had been waiting for all evening, and it didn’t help especially that his style of kissing was akin to mashing one face against another. Her whole body went slack with the disappointment.

Review: Witch and Wizard by James Patterson

Sorry I have been gone for the week! Was having trouble getting to a computer with my files on it but I am back!!! <3

Novel: Witch and Wizard
Author: James Patterson
Pages: 384
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy



Everything is about to change. The government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now kids are disappearing. For 15 year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no apparent reason. It's clear that the new government will stop at nothing to suppress Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager.

For the sister and brother, the chaos started when Whit's girlfriend, Celia, was spirited away in a black van, never to be seen or heard from again. Locked inside their cells, the two fear that they have been taken to the very same complex that swallowed Celia and realize that a daring escape is their only hope of survival.

While imprisoned together, Wisty and Whit start exhibiting strange abilities and powers they never knew they possessed. Their new talents lead them to believe that maybe there is a reason they were singled out. Can this newly minted witch and a wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents--and maybe the world?

This book had everything. I was laughing so hard yet there were moments where I would sit up in bed and hardly be able to calm back down until I could find out what would happen next! It was a crazy roller coaster ride that had be shocked into fits of giggles, near screams and a LOT of surprised gasp expressions that kept my fiance worried as we watched my face and I watched the pages flying by. I have not checked out many of James Patterson's novels but now, I think I will be. If all of his novels can make me laugh this hard I want them as a part of my collection!



5 Stars!



Would I suggest you read it:

Yes! It is a great young adult fantasy and great for the younger side of Young Adult readers as long as they can handle the content. It was just so much fun to read and has so much humor in it!
