Renegades #2

ARCHENEMIES

by: Marissa Meyer
Publication Date: November 6th, 2018
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult

 

Time is running out.
Together, they can save the world.
But they each other's worst nightmare.

In Renegades, Nova and Adrian (aka Insomnia and Sketch) fought the battle of their lives against the Anarchist known as the Detonator. It was a short-lived victory.

The Anarchists still have a secret weapon, one that Nova believes will protect her. The Renegades also have a strategy for overpowering the Anarchists, but both Nova and Adrian understand that it could mean the end of Gatlon City - and the world - as they know it.

Ohhh! You know, and if you don't you'll know now, that I LOVE, love, LoVe music. Just as I live and breathe words, I live and breathe music. Those two things are just part of me as any other organ in my body. As you can see in my Music page, I hear music while reading! My Thursdays are dedicated to music thanks to this feature! Created to share what song, album, playlist, artist I got stuck in my head every week. 

Now, this week song is...

THUNDERCLOUDS

Artist: LSD

favorite part of the lyrics: All I need is love. All I need is a word. All I need is us. You turned nouns into verbs.

Charley Davidson #13

SUMMONED TO THIRTEENTH GRAVE

by: Darynda Jones
Publication Date: January 15th, 2019

 

It's lucky number thirteen . . . this is the epic finale for our favourite Grim Reaper and her sinfully sexy son-of-the-devil husband, Reyes.

Charley Davidson, Grim Reaper extraordinaire, is pissed. She's been kicked off the earthly plane for eternity - which is exactly the amount of time it takes to make a person stark, raving mad. But someone's looking out for her, and she's allowed to return after a mere hundred years in exile. Is it too much to hope for that not much has changed? Apparently it is. Bummer.

She's missed her daughter. She's missed Reyes. She's missed Cookie and Garrett and Uncle Bob. But now that she's back on earth, it's time to put to rest burning questions that need answers. What happened to her mother? How did she really die? Who killed her? And are cupcakes or coffee the best medicine for a broken heart? It all comes to a head in an epic showdown between good and evil in this final smart and hilarious novel.

What are you waiting on?

The Friday 56 [12]

hosted by Freda's Voice

#ThankGodItsFriday! Friday, definitely, is my favorite word that starts with F. And if it's Friday that means this post has to be up. The rules are simple: grab a book, any book; turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (if you have to improvise, that's ok.); find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it); post it; and add your (url) post below in Linky in Freda's Voice blog. It's that simple! My teaser this Friday is from:

The Iluminae Files

OBSIDIO

by: Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Status: Currently Reading

“Kady Grant,” supplies Grant Jr. “Child prodigy and occasional criminal.”
“And she’s not a kid, Ben,” Grant Sr. says quietly. You get the impression right off the bat he’s had it up to here with this guy at Heimdall staff meetings. “She’s my daughter.”
“She is also,” Syra Boll adds, “my current systems chief.”
“Is she even old enough to drive?” Garver scoffs.
“I ran down six BeiTech goons in a truck once, if that counts?”

I seriously need to finish this book. I feel like I have been reading this book since forever, so there's that because I kind of had. Is good, but nowadays I barely have sit to actually SIT DOWN and read.

You have a Friday 56 for me?

Arizona Vengeance #2

ERIK

by: Sawyer Bennett
Publication Date: November 6th, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Sports, Adult

 

The Arizona Vengeance are developing a reputation on the ice as one of hockey’s top teams. But one player’s reputation off the ice might just keep him from scoring. . . .

I’m having the time of my life with my new brothers on the Arizona Vengeance. We may be an expansion team, but after notching some big wins, the entire league knows to watch out for Erik Dahlbeck. That’s me.

The only person who doesn’t seem to think I’m so great? Blue Gardner, the hot-as-f*** flight attendant on our team plane. I sure wouldn’t mind joining the mile-high club with her, but besides bringing me lukewarm coffee, she won’t give me the time of day. Whatever I did to rub Blue the wrong way, my teammates think it’s hilarious. After all, we’re used to women flocking to us. #puckbunnies

When I run into Blue back on land, I’m shocked to learn how she spends her time off: taking care of her handicapped brother. There are layers to this girl I never imagined, layers I can’t wait to peel away. And that’s a new feeling for me.

But first I’ve got to find a way to melt that ice-cold stare. Because as much as I try to pretend I don’t care what Blue thinks of me, how can you not care when you’re falling for someone?

BLANCA & ROJA

by: Anna-Marie McLemore
Publication Date: October 9th, 2018
Genre: Fantasy, Retellings, Young Adult

 

The biggest lie of all is the story you think you already know.

The del Cisne girls have never just been sisters; they’re also rivals, Blanca as obedient and graceful as Roja is vicious and manipulative. They know that, because of a generations-old spell, their family is bound to a bevy of swans deep in the woods. They know that, one day, the swans will pull them into a dangerous game that will leave one of them a girl, and trap the other in the body of a swan.

But when two local boys become drawn into the game, the swans’ spell intertwines with the strange and unpredictable magic lacing the woods, and all four of their fates depend on facing truths that could either save or destroy them. Blanca & Roja is the captivating story of sisters, friendship, love, hatred, and the price we pay to protect our hearts.
