**REVIEW** Not Your Ordinary Wolf Girl by Emily Pohl-Weary


Sometimes Living in the Big Apple Really Bites!
Eighteen-year-old rock star Sam Lee isn't like other girls. She's the super-talented bass player and songwriter for an all-girl indie band and an incurable loner. Then one night after a concert in Central Park, she's attacked by a wild dog.

Suddenly, this long-time vegetarian is craving meat--the bloodier, the better. Sam finds herself with an unbelievable secret and no one she trusts to share it. And so begin the endless lies to cover up the hairy truth...

When a new girl gang appears in the city--with claws and paws--Sam suspects there's a connection to her own inner beast. Trapped in a tug-of-war between her animal and human selves, forced to choose between the guy who sparked her carnal appetite and the one who makes her feel like a normal teenage girl, Sam has to unravel the mysteries of the werewolf world before her bandmates, her mother, and the media catch up to her.

Review

  Picking this one up I really didn't know how it would go but it turned out so different from your everyday read.  Emily has written a solitary, driven main female character that just won't put up with any bull and has a mind of her own.  That being said it's not like there is a lacking of these girls in books now but the ones that seem to capture people and create the buzz but girls like Sam are going to change that.  Authors like Emily are starting to change it up and create a new norm, one with girls that can and will hold their own without looking to the guy to save her.  

  Such a fascinating and vivid world for everything to be set in: New York.  Not only is it set in a place that is constantly on the go but in the fast paced world of the music industry.  I can't even stress how stuck in this book I became when it was even just starting, it was immediately attention grabbing and wasted no time getting to the action.  The fact that everything took place in New York just made it that much more risky because of the difficult and odd situation.  The setting was not what you would consider common or typical because of all of the problems it would bring up but this author seriously nailed it!

  There is so much to relate to and love with Sam.  She isn't the girl that wants to be smack dab in the middle of everyones attention but she has the talent to be there if she wanted.  Not to mention that she isn't guy crazy or dependent upon others to help her, this girl is content just being on the sidelines of everything.  Not that she feels she is too good for anyone but more that she prefers her privacy and has no desire to be in the middle of crap.  Unfortunately it seems to be this attitude that catches peoples attention and some of it causes unimaginable problems and a need to let some people in that she would never have even considered before.  Not that she all of a sudden becomes a party girl (which I loved btw) but when you find yourself becoming another species all together you kind of need guidance and even then she kind of had troubles just accepting it and kind of fought it.  Heck it isn't easy being the poster girl for PETA and finding yourself craving meat in any form.

  By no means should you think that romance is a main focus with this one but Sam seriously catches the eye of many guys.  I was slightly worried about three guys wanting her attention and the different roles they could play.  Harris was basically the guy that she liked from the get go but he was more of a fantasy than anything because of having a girl friend but he manages to complicate everything when they break up.  I never really liked him as a love interest but he was most definitely an interesting character.  Then there is the brothers Owen and Marlon.  Owen was all about Sam but not in a good way and she seriously wasn't interested in him (he's a bit psychotic) but that didn't stop him from trying to claim her.  For Marlon, well I felt he was really the only guy that deserved Sam's time but she made the guy work for it.  Even when she accused him of stalking her, he didn't give up.  I know most of you may find that to be just like a stalker but he had serious reasons.

  There is a lot to love with this read and I found myself completely engrossed in it.  The only issue I had was that the end felt so rushed and pulled together a lot faster than I had expected.  Not to mention I felt like I was left hanging, but maybe that was the point and there will be more.  There is no doubt in my mind that this read will catch peoples attention and for so many different reasons but the strong and independent Sam will be the main one.  I highly recommend picking this read up if you want a book with a strong female lead and something that you can enjoy from start to finish.


Quotes
  I tossed in a bag of oranges and a dozen cans of frozen lemonade--not because I particularly wanted them, but because the vitamin C might counteract the gout I would surely get from my new all-meat-all-the-time diet.

When had I been reduced to a nut job who ate flesh in public bathrooms?  But I couldn't stop.  I fished out a sausage and bit off the end, hoping it didn't reek as much as the lamb.  a few people came and went as I tucked into the rest of the meat, but no one else cracked any comments.

  I sat down in the middle of the floor and dropped my head into my claws.  I was a wold girl.  Half-wolf, half-human?  Whatever.  Fully freak show.

  The deer made eye contact with me.  I could see its terror.  Suddenly, I remembered exactly how I felt when I was jumped by two ferocious wolves alone in the park.  I skidded to a halt.

**REVIEW** The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse




Release Date:  July 10, 2013Published By:  Simon & Schuster Books for Young ReadersFormat:  Hardcover, 375 pagesReview Copy:  Purchased



As an obedient orphan of the U.N.A. (the super-country that was once Mexico, the U.S., and Canada), Alenna learned at an early age to blend in and be quiet—having your parents taken by the police will do that to a girl. But Alenna can’t help but stand out when she fails a test that all sixteen-year-olds have to take: The test says she has a high capacity for brutal violence, and so she is sent to The Wheel, an island where all would-be criminals end up.

The life expectancy of prisoners on The Wheel is just two years, but with dirty, violent, and chaotic conditions, the time seems a lot longer as Alenna is forced to deal with civil wars for land ownership and machines that snatch kids out of their makeshift homes. Desperate, she and the other prisoners concoct a potentially fatal plan to flee the island. Survival may seem impossible, but Alenna is determined to achieve it anyway.




  The Forsaken was one of the many books that I had to have last year and yet it fell victim to the mass amount of books I had on my TBR pile.  It is also among the books I wish I had picked up sooner because I almost instantly became hooked.  In a YA world that is becoming more and more dominated by Dystopian, it becomes harder to find something original.  Though I may have drawn a line here and there with the plot that this book had in common with others, I found that it was still different in its own way.  Once you stop and think about it all Dystopians are the same at the heart: they have a government that wants complete control and will dispose of anyone/anything that threatens that.

  The story was without a doubt thrilling and action packed.  How could waking up on an island that is filled with what you have been raised to believe is nothing but criminals and crazies be anything but?  Though it does turn out that everything is not what it seems and sometimes the truth is what you least expect.  There was a lot of finding out what is really going on (as there normally is) but some things even shocked me.  There was even things placed throughout that gave it additional mystery or a bit more background, things that you would not expect at certain points.  Though admittedly it wasn't  filled with background but then again that would have killed some of the suspense and taken away from the end result.

  When it comes to Alenna I have to say the growth that she had during this book alone was amazing.  When we are introduced to her I had this horrible feeling that I was going to be let down and have to deal with a weak female lead.  This girl was raised an orphan and I expected her to have a backbone off the get go but it just wasn't happening...or I should say happening to start because it did happen.  Alenna grew.  She grew a backbone, she grew her own mind and became a character that I really loved.  Maybe that is part of the appeal, that she was someone that adapted instead of just letting others take care of her.  She was believable and likeable in her faults and attempts to be perfect.  I would never say that she is the perfect character but she is definitely working on it and becoming kick ass while she does it.

  While there was a slight romance that just point blank is not the point of this book, it's survival and adapting that matter.  Liam is just a small part of the book but he has a big meaning.  He was the first time Alenna ever questioned if the U.N.A's testing was always right and then later on he was more.  What I loved about this was it was enough that you liked Liam and gave Alenna something else to hold onto, yet the Author didn't over do the romance and left room for other things to develop like friendships and more importantly the story.  The other big relationship in the book was Gadya and Alenna.  Though it wasn't romantic she was her friend.  This cause complications in the Liam department for a few reasons but it seemed that Gadya was a complication in general at times.  I can not say that I didn't like her but I couldn't say that I loved her either.  She would be a good friend one moment but in the next breath she would blame everything on Alenna.  When it comes down to it though Alenna cared about her and really that's what matters.

  The Forsaken was most definitely an addictive read that I did not want to put down.  Well written and fleshed the world and characters that Stasse created will leave readers wanting more.  With something always going on and basically non stop action there is no point when the book plateaus and leaves you wishing things would move faster.  This is one of my top dystopian reads at the moment and I would recommend it to people that are fans of dystopian reads with no hesitation because at a time that dystopian has started dominating the reading world Stasse has created something original and fast paced that is worth every page read.





The boy definitely didn't look like he belonged on the island to me, but supposedly no one can tell from appearances.  An Unanchored Soul is invisible to the eye.  Antisocial tendencies cut across skin color, gender, looks, and everything else. 


I don't reply.  Obviously I'm hoping a lot of hunters decide to stay, because I don't want to get slaughtered.  But I also realize that on the wheel, I might not have the luxury of keeping my hands clean.  If I want to stay alive, I might have to get down in the dirt.  And fight.


I see the light of the fire pit ahead of me.  I vow to keep my promise.  I will be a good spy for Veidman, at least on the surface.  But I'll be a much better spy for myself.  I will trust no one, and focus on learning the truth about what happened to my parents.


I've been forced to stop being a coward and start taking responsibility for myself.  And to start caring again--for the first time since my parents got taken.

**REVIEW** False Sight by Dan Krokos




Release Date:  August 13, 2013

Published By:  Hyperion

Review Copy: ARC,

Provided by: HBG Canada for honest review

Add to GOODREADSBuy ItAmazon~B&N~Book Depository



  All Miranda wants is a normal life. She's determined to move past the horrible truth of her origin as a clone so she can enjoy time with her boyfriend, Peter, and the rest of her friends at school. But Miranda quickly learns that there's no such thing as normal - not for a girl who was raised to be a weapon. When one of her teammates turns rogue, it begins a war that puts the world in jeopardy. Now Miranda must follow her instincts - not her heart - in order to save everything she's fought so hard to keep. with the image of a terrible future seared into her mind, what will she have to sacrifice to protect the people she loves?


  Dan Krokos's sequel to the tour de force False Memory is a mind-blowing thriller with high-octane action that will leave readers begging for the final book in this bold and powerful trilogy.





  Krokos is an amazing author and though I had a late start to this series, it is proof that it is better late than never.  False Memory was a quick read for me and False Sight was easily just as quick and enjoyable.  Now don't go taking that as it is a short book because it isn't, at 336 pages it may not be huge but it a far cry from little.  There was a slight feeling when this one got started that it was somewhat going through the motions that the last one went through but honestly the feeling passed so quickly for me that in no time I had forgotten (maybe missed a memory shot) and I tore through the large portion of the book remaining.

  False Sight was every bit the action rollercoaster that False Memory was but there was some serious development in the plot.  I had many questions that I thought of long after I had finished the first book and surprisingly this one did answer a few of them.  There was also a switch in the purpose of the Rose's which was without a doubt interesting.  This switch along with a few other plot twists took the reader (me) to places not expected but when I thought about it, it seemed to be logical and made the story that much more interesting.  It's hard to tell you where and why without being a reviewer that spoils the story for everyone but for those of you that have picked this up I hope you found the new twist as logical as I did.

  Miranda is honestly a character that just does not give up and will fight the odds no matter what they are.  She does however have a hero complex.  This is probably because she feels like a fraud not being who her team thinks she is but I'm not sure I can fault her completely.  There is a lot more to lose with this book and she does lose a lot but she gains something too and despite being odd, comes in handy.  She also learns a lot more about her past, who she has always been and who she is meant to be.  Through every discovery, every new twist and every new hurtle Miranda grows, not that she always takes it with grace but she takes it.  There are ups and downs with her as a character in this book but I think ultimately the ups prevail.

  Now once again romance is not the front story in this, heck it isn't even really a background story but it is there.  The triangle has been eliminated completely (what little triangle there was) but I felt that what romance there was also dwindled into almost nothing.  Reason for this: the plot is just packed with happenings and the romance just doesn't have room to exist really.  This is both enjoyable and frustrating because I really love what her and Peter have going on and would like to see it develop a little more.  That being said for those of you out there that would have avoided this book for the reason of a possible triangle you can officially not worry about it because it doesn't develop but disappears completely.

  The ending of this one is the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers.  I was excited to have this one in my hands before I finished False Memory but I can't even start to tell you what I would give to have the next one in my hands.  Books like this remind me of what there is to love about dystopian novels and why I will continue to pick them up.  Packed with action False Sight was every bit the novel False Memory was and I would recommend this series to lovers of dystopians everywhere.



  But Peter usually doesn't try to hide his feelings unless there's a tactical advantage.  And that's exactly what I'm looking for--some sign to confirm I'm a member of the team, not a possible threat.

  People huddle in the doorways of buildings, watching as we pound past.  I'm not laughing anymore.  I look at a world near death and realize this could happen to us.

I have to survive long enough to beat her.  Survive long enough to save the world.  But even then, I don't know where I'll take them.  I don't know where to take thousands of monsters.

**REVIEW & GIVEAWAY** Truth or Dare by Jacquline Green



Release Date:  May 14, 2013
Published by: Little Brown Books forYoung Readers
Review Copy: ARC, 397 pages
When a simple round of truth or dare spins out of control, three girls find it’s no longer a party game. It’s do or die.

  It all started on a whim: the game was a way for Tenley Reed to reclaim her popularity, a chance for perfect Caitlin “Angel” Thomas to prove she’s more than her Harvard application. Loner Sydney Morgan wasn’t even there; she was hiding behind her camera like usual. But when all three start receiving mysterious dares long after the party has ended, they’re forced to play along—or risk exposing their darkest secrets.

  How far will Tenley, Caitlin and Sydney go to keep the truth from surfacing? And who’s behind this twisted game?

  Set against the backdrop of Echo Bay, an isolated beach town haunted by misfortune, Truth or Dare is a highly charged debut that will keep readers in suspense from beginning to end.


Guys all I have to say is *sigh*.  I currently sit on the edge of not writing this review but I feel that not all of my reviews can be beautiful and sparkling and that I must be honest with you all.  Everything about this book made me think it was going to be amazing and I was really excited to find it in a package, the only thing that prevented me from reading and reviewing earlier was an event month and then a reading slump.  I am glad I waited it out in the end because this book would have suffered greatly being picked up during that time.  The reason for this is quite simply that I felt the majority of the book was dragged out and I couldn't do it.  Yes I finished but it took me 4 days instead of my normal 1-2.

  Jacquline Green deserves credit for creating a story that has developed characters and taking the time to give each of them their own backstory and problems.  The only thing was that their pasts were well developed and explored but who they were now was only skimmed upon and left me frequently wondering who they really were now.  This may be all part of the mystery and some people may enjoy it but it was not for me.  The other downfall of the ample amount of time spent exploring each girl was that it slowed the plot down and when it comes to mysteries I just feel that they need to move forward at a steady pace or the entire book suffers.

  With the slower pacing I also found this read became more of a teen drama than a mystery/suspense novel.  This may be a big selling point for some because there are readers out there that enjoy this type of read but you need to know that, that is the type of read that you are in for.  When the dares started I was really ready for the book to amp up and start gaining speed because it's kind of a do or social suicide situation and when you are in high school (even if you aren't in the "it crowd") social suicide isn't really an option.  Sadly though the Dares and the stakes were high, the pacing and happenings between each dare had me wanting to skip ahead and find out if the person would follow through or deal with the repercussions. 

  I will admit I had my suspicions of who was at the bottom of it all but until 2/3 the way through I was not completely sure.  This may be the absolute best part for me and what kept me reading: I honestly had to know.   The fact that everyone was sure it was one person or another made me question a few of the people that weren't being examined but even more than that I wanted to know how the person knew things that even the characters themselves had never mentioned out loud.  Basically what I am saying is that even though it all felt like a teen drama you did want to know who it was and how they knew everything and even with me believing I knew who it was, I had to know the why.

  Although Truth or Dare was not my cup of tea, I seriously believe there are people out there that will love this one.  The thing that I have learned about reviews where the books were not gushed over is that you can see some things that may not have been mentioned otherwise and I hope that you guys can find something in this to help you pick this one up. 




As I said just because I didn't love this one doesn't mean you wont!
I am going to give away my ARC copy to one reader :)  The only thing I 
ask is that because it is an ARC that you leave a review somewhere.  You
don't have to be a blogger to enter but give it a rating on GR or Amazon.
Good Luck everyone and I know one of you will enjoy this!!

**REVIEW** Eternity by Elizabeth Miles

Review Copy: ARC, 
                         Simon & Schuster Canada

Add to GOODREADS 













  Secrets and revenge make for desperate measures and fateful choices in this gripping conclusion to the Fury trilogy.The weather is mild in Ascension…but beneath the surface, everything is burning up.


  The nightmare Emily Winters has been living through for months shows no sign of ending, as the Furies stay on the peripheral, slowly driving her crazy. Em feels...different. She’s angry, and never cold, and too strong. It’s only a matter of time before she turns into the thing she hates the most. Em needs to take her fate into her own hands, but without Drea’s help, or anyone to turn to, Em is quickly running out of options.

  Crow’s involvement with Em has grown more complicated. His visions are taking shape—and it doesn’t look good for Em. But Crow has a plan, and he will do anything to save her. Anything.

  JD misses the Em he used to know...and love. She doesn’t seem like herself; it’s like she’s hiding something. When JD begins to learn the truth, he is as scared as he is determined to help her. And Em’s survival may be dependent on his actions.

  The Furies love to play games, but this time they’re deadly serious…and they hate to lose.




  I had featured the first two books in this series back in Mermaid and Myth Month and enjoyed them but was highly anticipating the release of Eternity.  Guys this one did not disappoint and was my favourite out of the trilogy.  This one was non stop from start to finish and had everyone starting to put together the pieces and trying to fix the end result before it was too late.  This is the type of book I only put down once it is finished and basically the world disappears until that moment.  If you have read the first two and liked them I am telling you now to clear your day because you will love this one!


  Ascension is becoming a dangerous place to live in and the town still has basically no clue the horrors that they could face at any time.  I still remain shocked that everyone wrote away so many deaths in such a short period of time because I know most places would be screaming serial killer.  Despite the oblivious state of the townspeople, the people closest to the main character Em started to catch on that something wasn't quite right anymore and there was no way that nothing was going on.  This kind of pulled the previous plots all together and started tightening it up early on so that the end wouldn't be rushed.



  For the first two I wanted Em to smarten up and start fighting back, start seeing what she had right in front of her instead of what she wanted herself.  This time around she started looking for the answers in the places that she should have been long ago.  Her resolve and determination for the most was kicked into high gear.  Then again what is a better motivator than possibly becoming what you despise.  I still did not fully connect with Em as a character but I did start to feel for her and hope that she had a chance.  From start to finish she did grow as a character and that is something to appreciate because at the start of the trilogy I wanted to smack her and in the end I liked her for who she became.



  The alternate POV in this one was JD and I loved every single moment of it.  Personally I have been a fan of him and his unique ways ever since Fury.  I understood his disappointment and resentment but kept on hoping that he would become better than all of it and fix it all.  Now I'm not saying that he does fix it all but he does start to figure it out and then take steps towards a solution.  There are many parts of me that say it would have been easier if he had known sooner but at the same time if he had known sooner this would not have been three books and would have been a much shorter story all around.  Plus then we would not have gotten to see exactly who what he would give up in order to save Em and make things right with her.



  I know that there were many people that weren't completely sold with this series but I have to tell you after everything: I am sold.  This is a series that went out with a bang and I will more than likely revisit someday because when all is said and done I was addicted.  There is no part of me that could have let this series go.  The characters, the setting and the furies themselves became something more than I had expected.  Miles was not  afraid  to kill off a character to make a point or stay true to her story and I loved that nobody was safe.  I had never put much thought into the furies before this series but after it I can honestly say that I am interested in hearing more.  Pick this book up if you have read the others and if you haven't but are interested in mythology give it a go!




  Once summoned, the goddesses of vengeance don't know when to stop-nor do they want to.  They can't distinguish between appropriate punishment and malevolent retaliation.  The desire for revenge is subsumed by its evil underpinnings, leaving tortured victims in its wake.

  Was this the darkness taking over?  Was it inside her already, burning her up?

  The house felt eerily quiet with Ali gone.  JD stood there for a moment, thinking of what to do next.  It was weird--Ali was clearly very sweet, but she'd left him somehow unsettled.

"But we tried all we could.  I fear no mortal can stop them.  And their game never really ends, you know.  The furies always win."

Weekly Report: HOLY BOOKS!!!


Weekly Report is my way of showing you from week to week (most of the time) what new books I received and what has gone on in the past week. So basically it's a report for all the awesome that I got and shared!

   So as it turns out I have been horrible about posting my Weekly Report.  I am seriously sorry guys because honestly life has been so hectic I really don't get the chance to sit down and do this.  If I am seriously honest with you most of this month's reviews were reserve ones... Ones that I have read and written and put aside for emergencies.  There has been a lot going on but for the most part it was a renovation and applying to go back to school...  Good news I WAS ACCEPTED!! I start this Tuesday and you may have to bare with me while I adjust but I will try my best <3  Anyway here is the MASSIVE amount of books I have aquired over the last month...
