Four Weddings and a Werewolf (Seattle Wolf Pack #2) By Kristin Miller

ebook, 215 pages

Expected publication: October 28th 2013 by Entangled: Covet

To have and to howl…

Logan Black, former Marine and bodyguard for the Seattle Wolf Pack, hates weddings and has no plan to walk the path to matrimonial misery. But when he’s hired to protect a hot-to-trot wedding planner with a werewolf stalker, he’s forced to put his feelings aside. Not such an easy task when the damsel can turn him on with a single smoldering glance.

Wedding planner Veronica Vale knows werewolves exist, but hates them. One bit her sister, changing their lives forever. When a sexy Marine shows his gorgeous face at one of her wedding appointments, Veronica finds it hard to focus on the task at hand.

The chemistry drawing Logan and Veronica together seems fated, but with Logan’s playboy attitude, Veronica’s hatred for werewolves, and a stalker lurking in the shadows, these two need more than passion to keep them together.

The Shadowhunter's Codex (The Mortal Instruments) by Cassandra Clare and Joshua Lewis

The Clave is pleased to announce the newest edition of the Nephilim’s oldest and most famous training manual: the Shadowhunter’s Codex. Since the thirteenth century, the Codex has been the young Shadowhunter’s best friend. When you’re being swarmed by demons it can be easy to forget the finer points of obscure demon languages or the fastest way to stop an attack of Raum demons. With the Codex by your side, you never have to worry.

Now in its twenty-seventh edition, the Codex covers it all: the history and the laws of our world; how to identify, interact with, and if necessary, kill that world’s many colorful denizens; which end of the stele is the end you write with. No more will your attempt to fight off rogue vampires and warlocks be slowed by the need to answer endless questions from your new recruits: What is a Pyxis? Why don’t we use guns? If I can’t see a warlock’s mark, is there a polite way to ask him where it is? Where do we get all our holy water? Geography, History, Magic, and Zoology textbook all rolled into one, the Codex is here to help new Shadowhunters navigate the beautiful, often brutal world that we inhabit.

Do not let it be said that the Clave is outdated or, as the younger Shadowhunters say, “uncool”: this new edition of the Codex will be available not only in the usual magically-sealed demonskin binding, but also in a smart, modern edition using all of today’s most exciting printing techniques, including such new features as a sturdy clothbound cover, a protective dust jacket, and information about title, author, publisher, and so on conveniently available right on the cover. You’ll be pleased to know that it fits neatly into most satchels, and unlike previous editions, it rarely sets off alarm wards.

The old woodcuts and engravings have been replaced as well: instead, you’ll find lavish modern illustrations by some of the brightest luminaries of the fantastic. Creatures, weapons, people, and places have been carefully and accurately rendered by the likes of Rebecca Guay, Charles Vess, Jim Nelson, Theo Black, Elisabeth Alba, and Cassandra Jean. Chapters are beautifully introduced by the drawings of Michael Kaluta, and along with our condensation of the classic 2,450-page tome, A History of the Nephilim, you will find a selection of the best of the lovely illustrations of that volume by John Dollar.

This edition of the Codex will be available in Institute libraries and what mundanes sometimes call “book stores” in [OCTOBER], 2013.

Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for-his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again.

But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be. For Ethan's nephew, Keirran, is missing, and may be on the verge of doing something unthinkable in the name of saving his own love. Something that will fracture the human and faery worlds forever, and give rise to the dangerous fey known as the Forgotten. As Ethan's and Keirran's fates entwine and Keirran slips further into darkness, Ethan's next choice may decide the fate of them all.

Book Review: A Risk Worth Taking

A Risk Worth Taking by Heather Hildenbrand

When 22-year-old Summer Stafford’s parents split halfway through her senior year at college, Summer’s world is rocked. Everything she thought she knew—heck, everything she thought she wanted for her own life—feels like a lie. The truth is love is a risk. And the true kind, the kind that lasts, might even be a fairy tale.

Reeling from the divorce, Summer derails her own future by breaking up with her parent-approved boyfriend and giving up her lifelong plans for a big-city career. She moves back home, business degree in hand. Dad needs her to fill the gaps her mother left behind; Summer needs to find who she is outside of the cookie-cutter life that failed so miserably for her parents.

Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations.

Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy.

When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if love is really worth the risk.
Expected publication: October 22nd 2013 by Accendo Press

I've received an early ebook copy for my part in the blog tour and for an honest review . . . My blog post for the tour will be November 8th so be sure to come and see who's a guest post!

Review

Summer never been the one whose willing to take a risk, everything was always thought out and planned accordingly. But when her parents separates, she didn't expect it . . . and now is back on her father farm helping out. There she reevaluate herself and figure out what she truly wants . . . soon she'll learn that the one thing she wants is only here for a short time on the farm.

Ford has a plan . . . a dream plan but Summer wasn't part of the plan, not by a long shot. He fights his desires to want her but one kiss . . . one touch wasn't enough.

The stakes are high, one wrong decision can make or break this story of where Summer and Ford takes their own risks . . . with their heart.

This book is absolutely filled with fast pace summer love (yes you heard me summer love as I'm reciting Grease). Ford and Summer will have to decide on if this summer romance is worth the keep and worth the risks.

This book deserve my bundle of kittens, sometimes the risks are worth it and you can truly find a happy ending even with all the risk you've taken. So ask yourself this, Would you take the Risk?

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

While I haven't read many NA books and some being on my Mouse Watch list that I feel like I'm a newbie at reading NA books. Heather's book "A Risk Worth Taking" delivers a whole new form of summer romance, (yes) you'll have those summer flings and such but beyond that you're still trying to figure out what you want to do in life.

So that what Summer did or at least she tried to, working on her dad farm and dealing with the reality of her parents divorce and breaking up with a decent guy from college. Yep Summer was getting off to a great start for the summer season.

I guess Summer didn't realizes that the newest/temporary worker on the farm was drop dead gorgeous would drive her to distraction but what she doesn't know are what Ford's plans were. Ford's goals in life were set, and he never thought of nothing else until he saw Summer and boy those two clicked it off right away. I thought they were going to make out right then and there at the kitchen table.

The journey for them was full of risks and then it became real, I was rooting for the ever after for Summer and Ford but for Ford he had other ideas that didn't include Summer but Summer hoped he changed his mind and I did too! So the break up was heartbreaking, I wished that Ford saw that everything he ever wanted was right there and right in front of him. 

The infamous quote where I can't seem to find it and whomever wrote it, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" and that is exactly what happens with Ford after a few weeks. The moment he return everything was bright and sunny for Summer although she did have doubts. Ford will spend most of his life making it up to her.

The way Heather ended the book was bittersweet and I couldn't see it any other way of how it should ends, I would wish for more Summer and Ford but as I saw around the Internet people are asking for Casey and I could agree with that girl that was on his list.  

Heather's new NA book is really something else that I can't explain however I can say this . . . It is absolutely amazing! You'll want this book and read Ford and Summer's Risk of Love.

Captive: The Forbidden Side of Nightshade by A.D. Robertson

 

 

Hardcover, 320 pages

Expected publication: October 22nd 2013 by Dutton Adult

 

The first adult novel set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Nightshade series, Captive delivers a steamy, forbidden romance between sworn enemies drawn together by an irrepressible desire.

Twenty-five-year-old Tristan Doran enjoys a life of incredible power and privilege. As a direct descendant of the Keepers—witches who have embraced dark magic—he defers to no one but his overlord, Lord Bosque Mar. For most of his life, Tristan has been kept out of the centuries-old Witches War, his bloodline too valuable to risk in battle.

But when a beautiful, young human Searcher named Sarah is captured and made a prisoner in his Irish castle, Tristan’s infatuation with her flings him headlong into the fray. Captive and captor, unable to contain their longing, embark on a passionate, forbidden romance together—only to learn that their love is at the heart of a prophecy predicting the downfall of the Keepers’ ages-old reign.

Captive explores the darker side of the richly imagined Nightshade universe, a fantasy world of powerful dark witches, shape-shifting wolf warriors, and fascinating history. The first of three erotic novels, Captive delves deeply into the fiery, illicit romance of two young lovers whose very desires invite their doom.

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

Way back in January I believe, during the promotion of Rise release date, Andrea aka A.D. had mention that she would be dabbling in the adult version of Nightshade with all the typical things that an Adult book has . . . Adult problems, the battle between good and evil and the sex. I can't tell you how much I've wanted to finally hear about this book and meet new characters that we either have meet briefly or new. I love Andrea's writing and I'm intrigued by how her style of writing will be since this is Adult genre as well Erotica. This book will for certain have aspects that are so forbidden that it will keep me on the edge of my seat.

Allegiant(Divergent #3) by Veronica Roth

 

Hardcover, 526 pages

Expected publication: October 22nd 2013 by Katherine Tegen Books

One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

 

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

It's no questions ask, you all are waiting for this to come out you were even waiting for those stories told by Four's POV and now with the final book being told in Tris and Four you just can't wait to get it. Now you probably thought I've read book one and two right? I've read one but I never wrote the review, I don't think my mind process it all so it is under the category "re-read" on my Goodreads list because it is a book that I will re-read again. Plus now that Divergent is a motion picture with the very talented Shailene Woodley(love her!) and the handsome Theo James(never seen him before but BOY! he is hot). So soon I will join all of you craze fans of Divergent and I really can't wait for the movie, it looks so good already and from my first read the producers were staying very close to the book.

Blood of an Ancient (Beri O'Dell #2) by Rinda Elliott

 

 

Saving the love of her life could mean letting her inner darkness out to play.

Beri O’Dell is on a mission. She has to rip back into a hell dimension fast, but needs two things first—the blood of an ancient and a fix for her friend Blythe’s magic, which careened out of control after the battle with the Dweller.

Finding ancient blood isn’t easy when the old ones are rare and unwilling to donate. She needs to find Blythe’s former mentor…except the woman has lost her mind and joined a traveling band of singing witches.

That’s not the only magical monkey on her back. Nikolos is imprisoned, and after a screwed-up spell lets her witness the horror that has become his life, her fear for him grows by the day. Now there’s another problem—a powerful being unleashed during the battle with the Dweller likes her gluttonous new existence, and will kill anyone who threatens it.

But Beri has a few tricks up her costumed sleeve, even if it means mining the darkness of her soul to set everything right…and get Nikolos back in her arms.

Warning: Sleazy ancients. Random fires. Nosy teenage hackers. Hints of off-screen torture. Battles with...Beri doesn't know what. And one scary boyfriend who keeps inching toward insanity.

Teardrop (Teardrop #1) by Lauren Kate

 

 

Never, ever cry. . . . Eureka Boudreaux's mother drilled that rule into her daughter years ago. But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn't, who tells Eureka she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before.

But Ander doesn't know Eureka's darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance—a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander might be telling the truth . . . and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever imagined. From Lauren Kate comes an epic saga of heart-stopping romance, devastating secrets, and dark magic . . . a world where everything you love can be washed away.

Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations.

Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy.

When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if love is really worth the risk.
