Cover Reveal: Unleashed

It's Friday! and today I'm happy to spread the love of Sophie Jordan's Uninvited series, Unleashed Cover Reveal!

I love love Uninvited! It was one of the best thriller/Science-fiction/Dystopia book I have ever read and the concept and theme of the book was actually fresh for the YA readers community. 

Here's my review of Uninvited

So first here's an mini-teaser

 

I thought being labeled a killer and losing everything—my future, family, boyfriend, friends—was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. It’s not. Finding out they were right. Finding out that’s exactly what I am?

That’s worse.

Now for the Cover and Synopsis 

What if the worst thing you ever did was unforgivable?

Davy’s world fell apart after she tested positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome. She was expelled from her school, dumped by her boyfriend, abandoned by friends, and shipped off to a camp that turns HTS carriers into soldiers. Davy may have escaped, but the damage has already been done. The unthinkable has happened. Now, even worse than having everyone else see her as a monster is the knowledge that they may have been right about her all along. Because Davy has killed.

On the run from government agents, Davy is rescued by Caden, the charismatic leader of an underground group of rebels. Despite Caden’s assurances that the Resistance is made up of carriers like her, Davy isn’t sure she can trust them. Then again, she doesn’t even know if she can trust herself . . . or her growing feelings for Caden. But if she doesn’t belong with Caden and his followers, is there anywhere she can call home?

Kitty Blitz: Tease Trailer Reveal

 TEASE (The Ivy Chronicles #2) by Sophie Jordan 

What happens when a girl who always calls the shots meets a guy who's too wild for even her?

A born flirt and good-time party girl, Emerson has never had a problem finding a willing guy. She's always chosen her hookups carefully, and she's never broken her three cardinal rules:

Never let them see the real you.
Never fall in love.
Always leave them begging for more.

Then Shaw comes along. A hottie from the wrong side of the tracks, he's immune to her flirtatious banter and come-hither smile. After rescuing her from a disastrous night at a biker bar, he doesn't even try to take her to bed—he calls her a tease and sends her home instead. Unable to resist a challenge, or forget the sexy, dark-eyed, bad-boy biker, she vows to bring him to his knees.

But instead of making Shaw beg, Emerson finds herself craving him. For the first time in her life, she's throwing out her rule book. Suddenly, she's the one panting for a guy she can't control—a guy who won't settle for anything less than the real Emerson and who forces her to do things she's never imagined, including facing a past she thought she'd buried.

A guy who just might leave her wanting more. . . .

Book Review 

What would you do if you have the killer gene? The gene that defines who you're going to be no matter what. Davy's life was perfect until the genetic test that turned her world upside down, now she faces a new school, new threats, new rules.

Uninvited brings a new perceptive of how genetics could define who you are, no matter if it was nature or nurture. 

Davy will have to prove not only herself but to others that she is not what the genetics say she is, but one wrong move will mark her for life.  Can Davy survive the new world, new rules?

Uninvited is a twisting new thriller that put you on the edge of your seat, wondering will genetics be the new identifier for anything. 

I love this book! That it such a PUURFECT, the whole idea of having a killer gene is brillant! I can't wait for book two and see what Davy's life has in stores. 

MEOW . . . MEOW . . . MEOW

When I heard about this book, it went on the top of my list to read/buy when it came out however I pushed and pushed myself to wait on buying this book. Then unexpectely a month later or so I finally read it. 

Davy is just your average girl with big dreams and big hopes but the world isn't perfect it didn't matter where or how you grew up, if you have the killer gene you were automatically identify as a threat to society and everyone around you. I felt so bad for Davy to have to be define by something that lies in her genetic coding, something she has no control over and everything she once knew was out the window. 

The new school that hosts teenagers with the killer gene was a small and very weird diverse group, one her first day she learns that the teacher is a pervert needless to say. Some were actually social to one another and one was the brooding handsome, quiet, bad-news named Sean. 

While Davy hadn't display any behavioral or change in personally, the government set very high rules one wrong move and you're marked, one wrong decision you are sent to jail. While Davy struggle with the reality of the fact her then boyfriend try to deal with the situation but then pushed her to her edge when he cross a line and then another student decided to used the breakup as collateral against Davy. 

Davy ends up being marked, the most horrify experience and I just want to shout that it wasn't her fault by any means, her shit-head ex boyfriend embarrassed her in front of a whole crowd at a party and she felt hurt more than anything so it was instinct to do what she did but because she was label with the killer gene that made her actions as indication that the violence was only the beginning with her. 

Now Sean drew me in from the start, I wanted to know his story aside from his genetics being label as a killer but Sean has already been marked and that drew Davy towards him as well. Sean has no reason to be protective of Davy but yet he did. He was there after Davy got marked, and he was really to be there for her when they enter the camp.

The ending/cliff hanger couldn't have been any better . . . escaping the camp and being fugitives on the run but at least they're free for now.

Review 

Sophie Jordan masters her first NA book, Pepper's life is all about finding herself but she want to be able to get the man of her dreams. She consider herself inexperience in some areas so her girlfriends takes her out clubbing to learn everything about hooking up. 

Although Pepper didn't think that the stranger that assist her with her car would be at the same bar.

Reece is that type where he's not looking for commitment and if someone really want sexual favors he just might do it but when he see the girl with the car problems, he wonders what's brings her to his bar? 

When Pepper approach him for an unusual request, he just might be willing to give this fling a chance.

When I read Foreplay I could see the characters really taking a ride of their life, by making their own personal goals and meeting their own wants and needs. In the end they made their ultimate decision, to be or not to be together.

I give this a 5 Cat's Tails Up!!! I really love the book as well the characters, Reece stole my heart from first read and reading him and Pepper together made me swoon for them.

MEOW . . . MEOW . . . MEOW

My thoughts on Foreplay, I knew that I wanted this book and that I needed to get my paws on it as well diving into the world of New Adult because oddly enough I haven't read very many and there are ton that I want to read.

Foreplay deals with Pepper who plan everything in life, she excels in her determination and her education the only thing that was missing was her dream man Hunter, who's a family friend of many years but the problem was that he was seeing somebody else.

Pepper spend her life pining for Hunter and has all these imagination about what her life would be like if she was with Hunter and even marry Hunter. But Pepper felt a little self-conscious about one little thing, having S-E-X  and what girl wouldn't if they haven't done it and being at a certain age where you believe that everyone around you does it.

So what does Pepper do? Well with a little push and shove, her girlfriends took her to a local bar for Pepper to scout out a guy with experience and have a little foreplay. I love the girlfriends that Pepper has otherwise Pepper's life would have been very boring.

Reece was as cute and hot as he sounded!!!! I fell for him right away, probably quicker that Pepper did because you know that there's something about him that makes him so mysterious that you want learn more of him and about him.

Yes I'm sure some could have saw that Pepper and Reece were growing together and I did too but I also knew that Pepper was hesitant because she thought she knew what she wants but then when she gets it, something is missing . . . the fire was missing.

The ending did not disappoint me and it was so sweet what Reece did! Foreplay was truly amazing and I can't wait for Tease. Bring it on New Adults books!!!!
