When Stars Die
by Amber Forbes
Release Date: 10/22/13

Summary from Goodreads:
Amelia Gareth's brother is a witch and the only way to save her family from the taint in his blood is to become a professed nun at Cathedral Reims. However, in order to become professed, she must endure trials that all nuns must face.

Surviving these trials is not easy, especially for Amelia, who is being stalked by shadowy beings only she can see. They're searching for people they can physically touch, because only those they can touch can see them. Amelia soon learns why she is being stalked when she accidentally harms her best friend with fire during the third trial. Fire is a witch's signature. The shadows are after witches.

Now Amelia must decide what to do: should she continue on her path to profession knowing there is no redemption, or should she give up on her dream and turn away from Cathedral Reims in order to stop the shadows who plan to destroy everything she loves?

Summary from Goodreads

It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?


My review

I really don't know which book I loved the most! First is Wait for You in Avery's POV, that I loved. Now is  Trust in Me. Seriously I don't know. This book has parts that are not in Wait for You and I loved it.
I think what I like more is that in the first book I didn't have a clue how or what Cam thought of Avery. (caution: tiny SPOILER) And he called her Shortcake all that time!!?!( END of tiny spoiler) Seriously I didn't know it would be so good! I honestly didn't know what to expect about it. So that's the reason I give this book 5 stars.
And if you have it you should know that in the back is the first chapter of Be with Me (Cam's sister Teresa, and Cam's best friend Jase) What you thought about that? I think it was awesome!

Into The Deep by Samantha Young
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Published: August 9th, 2013
Series: Into the Deep #1
Publisher: CreateSpace
Pages: 314
Format: Paperback
Main Characters: Charley Redford, Jake Caplin
To buy links: Amazon | B&N | TBD


Summary from Goodreads

Live young. Live hard. Love deep.

Charley Redford was just an ordinary girl until Jake Caplin moved to her small town in Indiana and convinced her she was extraordinary. Almost from day one Jake pulled Charley into the deep and promised he was right there with her. But when a tragic incident darkened Jake’s life he waded out into the shallows and left Charley behind.

Almost four years later Charley thinks she’s moved on. That is until she takes a study year abroad in Edinburgh and bumps into none other than Jake Caplin at a party with his new girlfriend. The bad-boy-turned-good attempts to convince Charley to forgive him, and as her best friend starts spending time with Jake’s, Charley calls a truce, only to find herself tumbling back into a friendship with him.

As they grow closer, the spark between them flares and begins playing havoc with their lives and relationships. When jealousy and longing rear their destructive heads, Charley and Jake struggle to come to grips with what they mean to one another.

And even if they work it out, there is no guarantee Charley will ever trust Jake to lead her back into the deep…


My review

Into the Deep is the best book I've ever read of Samantha Young! I've read On Dulin Street, Down London Road and I fell in love with this two books . But this? This is a nail-bitting book. I loved the story, the chemistry between Jake and Charley, everything! I loved everything!! From the beginning, to the end. I loved the way the first chapter started at present day and the second goes back to 2008 when they first met, and that way in the entire book. They were high school lovers but Jake goes thru a very traumatic experience, and after eight months with Charley he shuts her down and leaves her, breaking her heart. They bump in to each other in a party and guess what? He has a girlfriend!!! I Know what a bastard, but to the impression of Charley he has long forgotten about her, but she is so wrong. I think my favorite part of the book is when they first saw each other in the party because of their reactions.

Now and Then (Now #1)

by Brenda Rothert

Release Date: 08/04/13

Summary from Goodreads:

Now Emmaline Carson is a sharp, settled graphic designer who loves painting, cooking and girls’ night out with her older sister Layla. But then – in the years before she went to art school in Paris – she was a shy, awkward teenager with frizzy hair, a flat chest and a massive crush on the boy across the street, Cole Marlowe. Too bad her incredibly hot neighbor only had eyes for Layla.

Cole is now a confident, laid-back attorney who’s even hotter than he used to be. He’s planning to stay single while working his way up the corporate ladder – until he’s knocked off course by a chance run-in with Emma.

Everything is different between Cole and Emma now. He finally sees her in a way she only dreamed of, and their hot chemistry is fueled by a growing friendship. But Emma’s deception of her sister – who wants Cole for herself – and the secret Cole’s been keeping for more than a decade threaten to tear apart what’s only just begun. Because sometimes the only thing standing in the way of now is then.

My review

4.5 of 5 stars

This book was fabulous! I loved the story, the way it was in the present and the the past, explaining wwhat happened when they were in high school. I loved all the characters. Except, maybe, Layla (Emma's sister). Agh, I couldn't stand her. She's so bitchy. But don't worry, it does get better. Now lets get to Cole. I loved all of him! He is so cute, romantic, loves Emma, and the fact that he doesn't want to hide their relationship is so sweet. Emma is this beautiful artist that, first doesn't have any idea that she's gorgeous (for living in the shadows of her cheerleader sister all those high school years), and has had a crush on Cole since he and his family moved in when she was twelve, and he was fifteen. I think it's a most read and I can't wait for book two in this series, Now and Again, That it's scheduled for this month! By the way, Now and Again is Layla's story! I already have a review copy for it, thanks to YA Bound Book Tours!

Ready To Go

by Stephanie Mann

Release Date: 11/12/13

Publisher: Swoon Romance

Summary from Goodreads:

Daniel is sick of his wonderfully boring and predictable life. He dutifully gets up every morning, goes to class, goes to work, and it never changes. He does, says and even wears exactly what others expect of him. He's so predictable that he barely notices just how unhappy he truly is.

One afternoon, everything changes when David meets a girl on the run from her own demons. She doesn't need Daniel's help, but he offers and she accepts--setting a course for an adventure neither will soon forget.

Together, on an impromptu road trip, two strangers become friends and a bit more, all while facing money problems, car problems, and tourist traps and the naked truth: they can't run forever.

Will they finally stop running long enough to discover true and lasting love?

Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong...

It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

There are two inherent truths in the world: life as we know it is over, and monsters are real.

The Pestas came in the night, spreading their pox, a deadly plague that decimated the population. Kat, one of the unlucky few who survived, is determined to get to her last living relative and find shelter from the pox that continues to devastate the world. When it mutates and becomes airborne, Kat is desperate to avoid people because staying alone might be her only chance to stay alive.

That is, until she meets Dylan. Dylan, with his easy smile and dark, curly hair, has nowhere to go and no one to live for. He convinces Kat there can be safety in numbers, that they can watch out for each other.
