Between The Lines - Tamara Webber

Between the Lines by Tammara Webber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I love the world that Tamara Webber built in Between The Lines.  The lives of celebrities has always fascinated me, I pick up tabloids on a frequent basis.  This was a first hand look at Hollywood bad-boy and heartthrob Reid Alexander.  It's everything you would expect of a celebrity, drinking, partying, PR, girls, hookups, paparazzi...

Then you have good girl Emma Walker who gets selected to play opposite Reid in a new blockbuster hit movie.  She was a really great character.  Down to earth and fun, good personality, and sweet.  I enjoyed the relationship and chemistry between these two!  There's other characters who were just as important including Brooke (Reid's ex), and Graham (another actor)... 

Emma's best friend Emily was a great add, they had an amazing friendship. 

There's drama, partying, sex, and drugs as we take a look at the lives of the rich and fabulous celebrities!  I recommend this for a fun easy read.

Faceless - Jus Accardo

Faceless by Jus Accardo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


First line: My name is Brandt Cross, and I once ate a caterpillar on a dare...

I love the Denzazen books, and decide to read Faceless (#2.5) before reading the final book!  I've always enjoyed Brandt's character and the soul jumping aspect is cool.  I was pretty bored by the book up until about 15-20% on my kindle.  I almost quit reading it but it got much better when introduced to a new character named Wentz.  He stole the story for me! 

Brandt is a really nice guy with a ton of emotional baggage.  His love interest Devin was also just a nice girl.  Their characters didn't really stand out which is why I'm sure Dez & Kale are the characters behind the real story and these are the extras.  I enjoyed reading about them but am happier to be reading the final book in the series as I've missed the stand out characters!

If you are a fan of the series, check it out, it's fun reading about different sixes and their abilities.  The book wasn't my favorite but it will keep you interested.

Sweet Peril - Wendy Higgins

Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Can I start off by saying I have a major author crush on Wendy Higgins?  This series is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!  I'm totally addicted!  I LOVE Anna and her whole group of Neph friends.  Kaiden and Anna have the hottest chemistry I've read in awhile!  Kope is a stud and Blake, Marna, and Ginger crack me up!  I absolutely have fallen in love with this group! 

So back to the book, there's a lot of action and just when you want to give up on romance you see some!  Anna's dad makes a lot of appearances, sweet Patti makes everyone sweet tea, and Anna turns 18 so you see quite a bit of her on her own and we get to see the decisions she makes and how she grows and helps those around her.

Is it weird that I like the Dukes too?  In a bad way of course but the author writes them in an engaging way and it's fun to watch them interact.  We also meet some new Nephs including a girl named Zania and a guy named Flynn.  There's danger all around and almost everyone is "working" in this book...  :)


This book has some really great love scenes and the action is awesome.  There's so much sexual chemistry and tension between Anna and Kaiden it will definitely leave you wanting more!  Sweet Peril leaves you in the perfect set up for book 3.  I will eagerly anticipate it.

Chosen At Nightfall - CC Hunter - Shadow Falls

Chosen at Nightfall by C.C. Hunter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If you are reading reviews you are a fan of the Shadow Falls series already...  This book was the final in the series even though it looks like Della is getting a series next!  I loved the ending, CC Hunter leaves no loose ends and ties everything together perfectly.

You finally find out who Kylie chooses to be with, there's fun surprises with Holiday and even Kylie's family.  The book keeps you on your toes and the ghost in it is by far my favorite!  I will definitely miss Miranda, Della, Holiday, Burnett, Kylie, Derek, Lucas, and even Perry.  I'm sad to see the series end but as far as series finales this one is one of my favorites.

Wide Awake - Shelly Crane

GAH I LOVE SHELLY CRANE!

Wide Awake by Shelly Crane

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Read this in 48 hours because I could NOT put it down...  I went to bed after 2 am just to find myself thinking about it when I woke up at 6 am!  I love the world Shelly Crane builds in her books... her characters are so loveable.

I recently finished the Significance series and had this one my Kindle since it came out but just got around to reading it!  I'm so glad I did!  The main character is Emma who wakes up from a coma and no clue who the privileged teen is staring back at her in the mirror.  She has amnesia, a connection to her therapist, a meat-head boyfriend, uptight parents, and no idea who she is.

Shelly Crane amazed me with this book because it blew me away after it sucked me in!  The world of who Emma was supposed to be and who she was before her amnesia was so vivid.  She was an awful brat!  Even she can tell!  I loved how real Emma felt and she was so easy to connect with!  She was so down to earth, disgusted with herself, and real.  She has lots of emotion and she was so likeable. 

Miss Crane writes excellent novels that draw you in and creates a world that you don't want to leave when it's over.  All I have to say is wow and I'm so excited to see what's next!!!

Independence - Shelly Crane - Significance Series

Independence by Shelly Crane

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Gah I love these characters and I'm really going to miss the world Shelly Crane took me to in the Significance series...

So I love this series and this book is one that will suck you in right away just like the rest!  I LOVE Maggie & Caleb's chemistry and the entire Jacobson clan... especially feisty Gran and sweet Rachel!

This whole series is a feel good romantic fall in love series.  You are left happy and full.  I loved this series as it was a true escape into another world where I wouldn't mind spending my time.

There was action, romance, and lots of laughs in this one!  I teared up a couple of times as well!  You get to know Haddock, there's a lot going on with Marcus, also we see how all of the visions play out. 

I just love this series, I'm glad Significance is being made into a movie and I thank Shelly Crane for being such an amazing author!  This book just tugs at your heart strings and makes you feel good.

Specials - Scott Westerfeld

Specials by Scott Westerfeld

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


So this was my least favorite in the trilogy.  I am excited to read about someone new in Extras.  In this book Tally and her friends are Specials, not just Specials but Special Specials... Cutters.  They are a new breed of Specials.  They are on a mission to take out the rebels of the New Smoke!

Tally was pretty awful during this book, her character was that of Dr. Cable's doing but still, I didn't like her or identify with her until the end.  She was so different and I guess the author did a good job of making me dislike her character.  I was glad to see more of David in this one and how the New Smoke was revolutionizing the "world." 

Andrew Simpson Smith even makes a quick cameo!

The book was fast paced, a lot of it was action packed.  There wasn't really a dull moment but with all the action a lot of the thinking, conversations, and world that I liked in Uglies and Pretties faded away.

I'm glad I got some closure as to what happens and I liked the ending.  It suited Tally and the series.
