What girl doesn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out?

DECEMBER 2011
Lenzi hears voices. She also sees visions--gravestones, floods, a gorgeous guy with steel gray eyes. She knows she must be going crazy, just like her dad did. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't do anything to help, and the voices just keep getting louder, the visions more intense. But when Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, everything makes sense.
Sort of.
He tells Lenzi that she's a reincarnated Speaker--someone who can talk to lost souls and help them move on--and that he has been her Protector for centuries. But instead of embracing her abilities, Lenzi struggles between her life as the girlfriend of a sexy musician and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. Yet time is running out; a malevolent spirit has been trying to destroy Lenzi for ages, and he will surely kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon.
Her choices are clear: Destiny or normalcy. Alden or Zak. Life or death.

Review for Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg :)
Description : Brie's life ends at sixteen: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart - literally. But now that she's in heaven, Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend knows a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost - and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul who's been D&G (dead and gone) much longer than she… and who just might hold the key to her forever after. With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the five stages of grief before she's ready to move on… but how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces?
Review : HEARTSHATTERING! That's what this book is. This book was amazing. This author sure knew how to start a book and by starting a book I mean I was crying hysterically like a little baby! On the first page, now that's when you know you have to keep reading and hope it will get better and boy did it!!! I fell in love right away with the description, why the hell would you not try to read something about her heart actually breaking and killing her?! The twists, turns, this is a drama filled road to heaven.
I will start with Brie because she is super amazing and there is NO other character like her in the world. She is a down to earth realistic girl who wakes up dead from a broken heart literally her heart broke in half and she died. This book tells her story and I felt like I was her I was crying hysterically from page one and it did get better but not without drama! She is now just a ghost, watching everything unravel in front of her and cannot do anything to stop or help the ones she loves and then there is Patrick, who follows her on this journey and she feels like she knows him but doesn't know how. Then he starts telling her what she should be doing but she can't move on, she wants to be there and watch everything move on without her! Her heartbreaking road to moving on is touching, unbelieveable and just sad. She gets revenge on the boy who said he didn't love her and killed her, she thinks her best friend is betraying her, her dad is doing something so horrible she can't watch and there she is watching it all pass her by. She is a strong young girl and ghost and she is going to do something, she has to and I just love her enthusiasm I probably cried as much as I laughed throughout this book.
Onto Patrick mysterious, 80's boy who isn't moving on, is waiting for his one true love to meet him and when she's finally there BAM nothing happens, she doesn't remember him the way he thought she would. He hels Brie to to get through the 5 stages, and along that way he is a sarcastic jerk who is still hot as hell and funny. He is just plain amazing and everything he went through KILLED me! He is one of my favorite male characters because he gave up everything so the one he truly loved could live again and he would wait for her to come to him. He tries to help brie but he isn't helping hes pushing her away. Along the way they find their way back to eachother but is it too late?!
Back to Brie she gets to go back but not for long just one memory one chance to change the way things were. She doesn't look at anyone the same, she has to try and leave good memories so everything stays raveled. Does she do it?!

Review for Mephisto Covenant :)
LOOOOOVE! Trinity writes an amazing book with so much to offer and so different from paranormal YA today! She took hell to a whole new level and I just about died of happiness :)
I will start with Sasha. She is amazing and you can relate to her so easy its kinda freaky! I loved her from page one and there was no changing that way after I got reading sometimes I was freaked out but I loved it all. She is so crazy but reserved at the same time and I felt for her through the whole book. She loved with everything in her for the people she cared about but they kept betraying her, kept letting her down in a way that just stings and you cant help but love her. She is also so strong and has no hate towards people unless they are evil and in this book you meet some horrible people. Add in sexy as hell (literally) Jax , god he makes my heart flutter and she has no idea what to feel for him he is a son of hell but she cannot help but feel a pull towards him and him to her.
Jax god i loved him from when he first stepped in. He is one amazing character. DFor a being a son from hell he feels an awful lot for Sasha and he doesn't realize he can truly love her like no other. And through the book it seeps through the pages that he does love her but he doesn't know what love is until it slaps him in his face and he makes the biggest sacrifice.
Trinity makes this book amazing and you never know who will turn to the evil side, she had nail biting suspense until the end and it was all worth it. It was just plain amazing and I am looking forward to see what brothers next to take the fall for their redemption but also find love they never thought they could know or have!

Review for Clockwork Prince. Do not read since it will have SPOILERS!!!
This book blew my mind! I got through it in hours. Totally mind blowing and addictive. Everything about this book is amazing and there was definitely no slow spots that't for sure and the views from the others just made me even more exited. I love Tessa don't get me wrong but I was so excited to have Will's and Charlotte's I almost died!
I will start with Tessa, what a hot mess! She is an amazing character and is SO real it is kinda freaky, you feel with her all through the book but you also feel like you want to slap her sometimes too! She is so vulnerable from everything that happened with her brother and coming here to London from NY she has no idea what's shes in for is it falling in love with two boys in two different ways that breaks her heart? , or running from a shadow she has no idea where or when he will come for her and no idea what he wants from her and what is she really?! She is a strong willed character and makes you fall in love from page one of book one. But everything is only going to get more confused about her feelings before they get better, we can tell obviously but it is hard since it is our point of view reading and her thinking.
Add in Jem sweet smart and always nice Jem. He is in love with Tessa and she has no idea until later. He would do anything for her and his brother Will. He is also blind for Will's love for Tessa as well and doesn't notice anything at all. Jem is definitely a favorite character for me, you fall in love immediately because you feel bad he is dying. And the way Tessa and Will describe his love for music is amazing. Jem in the end is getting stronger is it his love for Tessa and Will he ever know Will feels the same way about Tessa?!
Now add in Will. God sexy as hell bad boy wild child Will who has FINALLY let us in his head a little and boy has he surprised me! I had no idea why he would push everyone away and what stick is up his butt until he goes to Magnus. I wanted to curl up and die at the thought he was cursed, and such a horrible one to boot. You find out why he is the way he is and the way he wishes he could be. Like open to everyone around him and to not push him away, go back to his family and apologize. But Will still has some HUGE obstacles to overcome and that is getting Tessa's forgiveness before it is too late does he get there in time or not?! I loved Will from the beginning and Jem and I could tell the differences and the similarities in their characters and they are so real it hurts, they both are in love with Tessa but who will get there first (not that its a race)?! Will one be too late before the other swoops in?!
Cassandra writes amazing books. Her books are what books are supposed to be like. They are addicting, have the twists and turns to frustrate you and in the end wanting more more more. It is like a drug to read her books and know there is going to be a cliff hanger but not the size of it until you devour the book and then find out HOLY COW! , She just made this 100x better when is the next book coming and I give her props!!!

I guess I will start with my reviews :)
I will start with my reviews and let me know what you think and if you have any questions :) My first review will be Dragonswood since I am addicted to that book!!!
description:Wilde Island is in an uproar after the recent death of its king. The uneasy pact between dragons, fairies, and humans is fraying, and a bloodthirsty witch hunter with a hidden agenda whips villages into frenzies with wild accusations. Tess, a blacksmith’s daughter from a tiny hamlet near the mysterious Dragonswood, finds herself caught in the crosshairs of fate when she is accused of witchery and has to flee for her life along with her two best friends.
Not even Tess’s power to see the future can help the girls as they set off on their desperate journey, but she keeps having visions of a man wielding a sword. And when she finally meets him, Tess has no idea how to handle the magnetic attraction she feels for him, or the elusive call she hears from the heart of the Dragonswood.
In this epic romance, an ancient prophecy comes true in a way neither dragon, fairy, nor human would have predicted
REVIEW :
This book has ruined all other books for me! Nothing I think will top this book in 2012 when it is released! It was absolutely mind boggling. I love where it takes place and the time period!
Lets start with Tess. She is a strong girl. She has a horrible stepfather who beats her and her mother. She also is someone who is confident in some ways but vulnerable where it counts. She is just a kickass character who blew me away. I was so surprised by this book and the characters that I am reading this again. Then there are her friends who are betrayed by her but follow her anyway to find their own way in life. Then there is Garth, gaaah I fell in love with him right away. Taking them in and then who he truly is didnt surprise me because I had guessed but Tess is blown away. :)
Then theres all the drama happening, so much adventure, a magical world with an epic love story. This story pulls you in from page one and feels like you are there with tess on her adventure. The royal family in this book is so different and actually the whole book is different from most supernatural books out now! I think this is why i was hooked and could NOT put this book down at all. I read it in 5 hours and after I was like WOW. I ttried to read another book but all i could think about was this one and how truly amazing it was.
Hey guys!
Hey everyone! I just started this to do some contests and get my reviews and upcoming events :) I hope you all enjoy this and look forward to talking to you all .
