<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi guys, just wanted to do a quick update and let you know that I've started a brand new book blog-Addicted To Novels 2.0 ! I just wanted to start fresh, so I decided to make a whole new blog. All social media is the same, just the blog has moved. I may still update this blog from time to time, but if you'd be willing to check and maybe even follow the new blog, that would be great, and much appreciated! Thanks for stopping by! xo (P.S. if this post is a couple different colors, it's because the blog is being temper-mental and wouldn't do what I wanted it to; also another reason I have created a new book blog!)</span></div>

hasn’t seen her mother in ten years—and neither has anyone else. The
police suspect Sami’s father had something to do with her mom’s
disappearance, but Sami’s never believed that. Her mother chose to
abandon her and start a new life. It’s that simple.<br /><br />Yet now, new
evidence has emerged about another missing woman who used to be involved
with Sami’s dad. Coincidence—or evidence that the cops have been right
all along?<br /><br />As Sami investigates on her own, she’s forced to
question everything she thought she knew about the dad who’s always been
there for her and the mother who supposedly abandoned her. And if her
dad didn’t kill her mother, what did happen?</span></span></span></i></span><br />

rating for this book went up the farther I got into it. I LOVE
mysteries, so Splinter quickly became one of my favorite mystery novels.
<br /><br />Originally I had thought that Splinter was going to be super
predictable and easy to figure out but it wasn't! The author did a
really good job of making it seem like it was totally obvious that it
was this one character that was the reason behind the main character's
mother missing, when really, it turned out to be someone nobody
expected. At all. Even when I was SO SURE it HAD to be one of the
characters, I was so wrong! <br /><br />The farther I got into this book,
the more entranced I became, and the more I HAD to know who actually did
it! I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good mystery!</span></span></span></span><br />

is spending the summer in Tuscany, but she isn’t in the mood for
Italy’s famous sunshine and fairy-tale landscape. She’s only there
because it was her mother’s dying wish that she get to know her father.
But what kind of father isn’t around for sixteen years? All Lina wants
to do is get back home.<br /><br />But then she is given a journal that her
mom had kept when she lived in Italy. Suddenly Lina’s uncovering a
magical world of secret romances, art, and hidden bakeries. A world that
inspires Lina, along with the ever-so-charming Ren, to follow in her
mother’s footsteps and unearth a secret that has been kept for far too
long. It’s a secret that will change everything she knew about her
mother, her father—and even herself.<br /><br />People come to Italy for love and gelato, someone tells her, but sometimes they discover much more.</i></span></span>

<span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview1966767456">I
absolutely LOVED Love & Gelato. It was the perfect mix of romance,
secrets, friendships, and adventure! Once I started reading it, I could
NOT put it down, it was just such a sweet and breezy read! <br /><br />One
thing I really liked about this story, was we got a small glimpse of her
mother in the very beginning of the book, and we know her as the main
character knows her. Or what she THINKS she knows. I loved how things
didn't go how she thought they would, how they turned out BETTER than
expected. I also loved the way she got to know her mom, about her past,
and how certain people had come to be in her life. <br /><br />The story
takes place in Italy, and I have never really thought about going there,
but after reading this book, it made me immediately want to jump on a
plane and go! Honestly I didn't really have any expectations going into
this book, and didn't really know much about it, so it was a very
pleasant surprise by the time I got to the end of the book. I cannot say
enough good things about Love & Gelato. However, if your looking
for the perfect, easy, light summer read, this would definitely be it!</span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will start off by saying that I LOVE a good mystery/thriller. While this book was full of mystery, I just could not fully enjoy it the way I wanted to. I was so excited to read There Will Be Lies because the synopsis sounded AMAZING! However this book just fell flat for me.<br /><br />It starts off good, I was pulled in, I couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what happened next. But then I got about 100 pages in and it felt like the story wasn't really going forward. There was a lot of "filler", a lot of useless words filling up the pages just for the sake of it. I ended up skimming through the last half of the book JUST to find out what some of the secrets were.<br /><br />I honestly don't really have much else to say about it. It was kind of weird the way she went in and out of reality, or the worlds and at some points I didn't really get what was happening or even what the point of some of it was. I really wanted to like this book, I really tried but it just did nothing for me, so unfortunately, I had to give it 2 stars.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="color: #999999;"> I'm finally back to blogging!! AFTER THREE YEARS!!! For whatever reason, life kinda just happened, and I drifted away from book blogging, no real reason why. I guess I just kind of lost interest in it and just never went back. I've thought about blogging again off and on, so now, I have FINALLY made the decision to get back to it! I'm so excited!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though I quit blogging for a few years, I never quit reading! Of course I've gone through a fair share of reading slumps BUT I have read sooo many books, which means I have a LOT of reviews that I am going to be posting in the next little while. It won't be every day, but every couple days I plan on having either a new review up, or cover reveal, or whatever.</span></div>

honestly don't even really know how to start this review. I liked it,
and I WILL read the second one (there better be a second one from the
way this one ended!), buuut..the writing. It was readable, but felt like
a 10 yr old wrote it. If it wasn't for the fact it was a ghost story, I
probably would have never bothered reading after the first chapter or
two. <br /><br />Ghost House was okay-good. It had a lot of potential. I
really loved the idea of the story. The author could have done SO much
better with this book. I actually kind of wish another author had wrote
it...<br /><br />Maybe if your 15, you'll love this book. I'm a huge ghost
story lover and I could have liked it a lot more than I did. The
characters were pretty flat, they did have their moments throughout the
book though. Also, the "chemistry" between Chloe, the main character,
and the ghost, Alex, was practically non-existent, yet they're supposed
to have had this whole romanitcal commitment or something...still not
sure on that.<br /><br />Then there's Joe, who I guess is supposed to be
"the other guy" and suddenly she seems like she can't choose between
either guy but none of them have built up any chemistry and it was all
so bland and flat. Like, I don't understand how you can have this
undying love for this ghost you just met and know nothing about, haven't
spent barely any time with, and then start to become friends with Joe
and he's got this some-kind-of-love thing for Chloe--When did this
happen again? <br /><br />Another thing I didn't really get was the ghosts
in the beginning, what did anything have to do with them? I thought at
least by the end of the book we would get some kind of explanation, but
nada. <br /><br />The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because it was a good effort trying to write this book and I love ghost stories. <br /><br />Secondly, the only reason I'm even going to read the second one is because </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview963946000"><b> <span style="color: red;">**SPOILER ALERT BELOW**</span></b></span></span></span></span></div>

that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly

turned out to be a pretty good book. The pov switched between the two
main characters, Sam (guy) and Riley (girl). It was kind of your typical
spoiled rich girl, meets wholesome, down-to-earth guy, but it worked
for this story. <br /><br />For the first good half of the book, Riley
really got on my nerves. I swear the only reason I even kept reading was
because I liked Sam, and was curious as to how his half of the story
would turn out. Riley was a spoiled brat with no brains that couldn't
figure out the simplest of things, because she gets life handed to her
on a silver platter.<br /><br />Sam on the other hand, being a native, grew
up on the rez and had to work for everything he got, which was probably a
good part of why I liked his character so much.<br /><br />Of course at
first, the two main characters couldn't get along very well because they
were from opposite ends of reality, but eventually they came together.
It only took THE WHOLE DAMN BOOK for them to get over themselves and
their differences and freakin end up together. <br /><br />Overall the book
was good, I feel that Riley could have grown more as a person throughout
the book, and the storyline could have had a little
more...something..to it (for lack of better words), but I definitely
enjoyed it as a good, easy, summer read. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText8656574757010387097">Life can change in a split second.<br /><br />Addie
hardly recognizes her life since her parents divorced. Her boyfriend
used her. Her best friend betrayed her. She can’t believe this is the
future she chose. On top of that, her ability is acting up. She’s always
been able to Search the future when presented with a choice. Now she
can manipulate and slow down time, too . . . but not without a price.<br /><br />When
Addie’s dad invites her to spend her winter break with him, she jumps
at the chance to escape into the Norm world of Dallas, Texas. There she
meets the handsome and achingly familiar Trevor. He’s a virtual stranger
to her, so why does her heart do a funny flip every time she sees him?
But after witnessing secrets that were supposed to stay hidden, Trevor
quickly seems more suspicious of Addie than interested in her. And she
has an inexplicable desire to change that.<br /><br />Meanwhile, her best
friend, Laila, has a secret of her own: she can restore Addie’s memories
. . . once she learns how. But there are powerful people who don’t want
to see this happen. Desperate, Laila tries to manipulate Connor, a
brooding bad boy from school—but he seems to be the only boy in the
Compound immune to her charms. And the only one who can help her.<br /><br />As
Addie and Laila frantically attempt to retrieve the lost memories,
Addie must piece together a world she thought she knew before she loses
the love she nearly forgot . . . and a future that could change
everything.</span></span></i></span></div>

this sequel to Pivot Point, we once again see from the point of view
from Addie, like the first book, only we ALSO get Laila's point of view
this time also. At first I wasn't too sure how I felt about it, since
Laila seemed like a really shallow character in the first book, but once
I got to know her, I really liked her and could understand why her and
Addie were such good friends. It also made it more interesting, going
from one point of view in the first book, to two people's points of view
in the second. <br /><br />I loved how Split Second had just as many, if
not more plot twists than the first book. It took me a little longer to
get into it, because it was a little slow in the beginning, but picked
up really fast. Some things, I kind of saw coming, and/or expected, but I
did NOT see the ending at all! It made the book that much better. <br /><br />Another
thing I really loved was how all the characters grew. Especially Laila.
She went from acting like a spoiled brat, to someone who actually cared
for someone other than herself and her younger brothers. We also got
more of Trevor in this book, who's character also grew a little bit, but
also stayed the same at the same time. <br /><br />I just LOVE these books, and Kasie West :) I'm REAAALLLYY hoping there's going to be a third book in the Pivot Point series! </span></span></span></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText13732400465109874558"><i>Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .</i><br /><br />Addison
Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is
faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes.
It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought.
When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has
to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the
paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is
staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as
it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the
future proves it’s not.<br /><br />In one potential future, Addie is
adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high
school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands
her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in
school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When
Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s
unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she
holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which
reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she can’t live
without.</span></span></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview389333978">As soon as I seen this book, I knew I had to get my hands on it. However, it sat on my shelf for far too long...<br /><br />I
actually decided to read it when I got an ARC in the mail of the second
book. Once I started reading it though, I was like WHY DID IT TAKE ME
SO FLIPPIN' LONG TO READ THIS?! It was SO good! I was familiar with
Kasie West, but had never read anything by her, so I wasn't sure what to
expect with Pivot Point. It's now safe to say I love Kasie West and her
writing style is amazing and easy to read. I really felt like I got
into the mind of Addison, the main character. <br /><br />In Pivot Point,
Addie has the ability to see two futures based on choices she is given.
Kasie West did an AMAZING job in this novel! We get to see BOTH visions
of both paths of her future. Each chapter took turns telling what
happened in one path and then the other. It all flowed so well, that
after a couple chapters I didn't even think about it anymore. <br /><br />I've
never read a novel that had done this before. It made it that much more
amazing. I loved Addie, she wasn't one of those characters that asks or
thinks a bunch of stupid questions even though the answer is right in
front of them. She wasn't one of those type of characters that would go
into a basement knowing full well she shouldn't be going into the
basement because you KNOW there's something down there. Know what I
mean?<br /><br />She knew how to think for herself, and was able to figure
things out like a normal person, which I really liked. I'd be reading
and be like "why wouldn't you think of this?" or something, and she
WOULD! *Mind Blown*! Finally a character who isn't totally or partially
stupid, who actually has some brains! <br /><br />I also really liked
Trevor, one of Addie's love interests :") Yuummmmmm..He was the perfect
mix of brains, hot and sweetness and totally perfect for Addie. <br /><br />I was pretty sure I was going to like this book, but I had no idea HOW much I was going to LOVE IT :)</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview534564250">Honestly,
the only reason I bought this book was because it was by Lauren Kate. I
really loved her FALLEN series, so I was really looking forward to
something new of hers. If this book hadn't been by Lauren, I'm not sure I
would have picked it up, the synopsis just doesn't cut it very well.<br /><br />However,
with that being said, I actually REALLY enjoyed Teardrop. I know the
synopsis sounds very similar to the Fallen series, but they're actually
totally different! <br /><br />I had no idea this book had anything to do
with any kind of mythology until I started reading it. I have come to
find I am a total sucker for mythology in the YA genre, I just find them
so much more interesting for some reason. The main character, Eureka,
is part of the mythology of Atlantis. I've seen some people ask "who
would name their characters 'this' and 'that'?" Um, one that's based her
novel off a mythology, and if you actually took the time to read the
book before bashing the author and her work, you would know this. *rant
over*<br /><br />I really liked how the author based her characters names
off the mythology that the book has in it. The deeper you get into the
book, the more it becomes clear how these characters are involved in
things that seem to be bigger than themselves, and the more they find
out, the bigger things seem to get, which made it really exciting. I
also loved how the book progressed. It started out a little slow, but
soon picked up speed, until we had a whirlwind of mystery, confusion,
things the characters thought they knew, but really didn't, and so many
more elements that made this book great.<br /><br />The only thing that
bothered me, was the ending. It just felt so unrealistic, and if the bad
guys are really after you, they're not just gonna stand there and wait
for you to ask questions and learn how to defeat them! Like really!
Minus the ending, I loved this book, and I'm definitely looking forward
to the second book!</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText2399687991448375038">Alone for a millennium,
since a human murdered her beloved consort, Ashra, the immortal
icrathari queen, rules over Aeternae Noctis, the domed city of eternal
night. Her loneliness appears to be at an end when her consort's soul is
reborn in a human, Jaden Hunter, but their reunion will not be easy.
Icrathari are born, not made. If Ashra infuses Jaden with her immortal
blood, he will be a vampire, a lesser creature of the night, a
blood-drinker rather than a soul-drinker. Furthermore, Jaden is sworn to
protect his half-sister, five-year-old Khiarra. She is the child of
prophecy, destined to end the eternal night and the dominion of the
Night Terrors-the icrathari and the vampires. As Ashra struggles to
sustain her crumbling kingdom in the face of enemies without and
treachery within, Jaden fights to defend his sister and unravel a
greater mystery: what is the city of eternal night, and how did it come
to be?</span></span></i></span></div>

and cursed with vengeance, a stone well lies on a nineteenth-century
estate, waiting for the Stockton line to wish again. <br /><br />When
seventeen-year-old Lila Wayde's father loses his high-paying job in Las
Vegas, the family relocates to a Pennsylvania estate bequeathed by an
estranged aunt. Lila begins a new life there, one not corrupted by
wealth and fake friends. She soon meets Ben, the groundskeeper's gritty
grandson, and experiences the kind of happiness her life's been missing.
But as she settles into the ancient house, she learns information about
her ancestors and the old stone well that may make her wish she'd never
come.<br /><br />Ben Shadows has lost enough in life. So when Stockton
Estate's owner, Janine, wills the land to her great-niece Lila, Ben
fears for the fate of the property. He decides to find out Lila's
intentions as the new owner, but his grandfather wants him to protect
her from Stockton Estate's alleged curse. As Ben helps Lila dig through
the estate's history, they grow closer than he ever intended. Now, along
with concerns about the property and the reality of the curse, he
struggles with feelings he can't ignore.<br /><br />Will the secrets of Stockton Estate bring them together or will knowing the truth rip them apart?</span></span></i></span></div>

since rebellion broke out in Mystic City, pitting the ruling elite
against the magic-wielding mystics, Aria has barely seen her boyfriend.
Not surprising, since Hunter is the leader of the mystic uprising, and
he'll do whatever it takes to win freedom for his people—even if that
means using Aria.<br /><br />But Aria is no one's pawn. She believes she can
bring the two warring sides together, save the city, and win back the
Hunter she fell in love with.<br /><br />Before she can play peacemaker,
though, Aria will need to find the missing heart of a dead mystic. The
heart gives untold powers to whoever possesses it, but finding it means
seeking out a fierce enemy whose deepest desire is for Aria to be
gone—forever.</span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="freeText13712003663387467818">Tristan Coleman has
survived the change from Clann magic user to vampire, much to Savannah
Colbert's joy—and despair. By changing the Clann's golden boy and newly
elected leader, even to save him from death, she has unleashed a fury of
hatred and fear that they cannot escape. <br /><br />As the Clann and the
vampire council go to war, Tristan and Sav face a new threat—a
fracturing of the all-consuming bond they share. To fight for peace,
they must forge a new trust and risk everything to take down their
deadliest enemy, even as they must run for their lives. Soon they will
learn that some bonds are stronger than love—and some battles cannot be
won without sacrifice.</span></span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview382063972">Having
loved the first two books, I was really excited to get my hands on this
one. However, it just didn't live up to my excitement. Compared to the
first two books, Consume felt flat, drawn out, and rushed at the end.
There was all this build up to a big war between the vampires and the
descendants, just for it to be over in a chapter or two. It was really
disappointing.<br /><br />The whole book was basically Tristan and Savannah
not getting along, they all go on the run, then a quick war and the
books over. There was almost no chemistry in this book with the
characters and the story. <br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed it somewhat,
probably only because I loved the first two books, but other than that,
it just wasn't the big ending I was hoping for.</span></span></span></span></div>
