Another new post for me. Every Saturday I'm gonna list books that I have been reading for the week. I thought it might give you all a chance to read something new or different you may not have heard of :)
So see what's going on in my neck of the reading woods below!
I'm just finishing up this ebook ARC I received from Net Galley for a read and review. I am also part of the blog tour for this book (post will be tomorrow) so I wanted to make sure to review it before I put up my post:
Kate’s life is far from normal. She can see auras, her boyfriend is immortal, and her powers make her a target. But now that the Demon Lord is hunting her, things are about to go from dangerous to truly deadly. Packed with action, mind-blowing plot twists, and characters you can’t get enough of, this is a fast-paced, heart-pounding read from cover to cover.
Title: Demons (Seers #2)
Author: Heather Frost
Publication Date: September 11, 2011
ISBN: 1462110347
I won a gift certificate to buy a book for up to $15 two weeks ago and decided this little beauty needed to be in my house. I'm on Chapter 5 and so far, SO GOOD. But how can a JLA book not be good???
Dying sucks-- and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.
Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out.
However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time

This title was sent to me by the author. I have been wanting to read it. I started it this week after finishing up the novella that comes before it, so I will list both!
Intuition: A Bonus INTANGIBLE Short Story
Luke and his twin sister Sera have unusual abilities. Hers is a gift—she can heal with a touch of her hand. His is a curse—he can see the future but he can’t do anything about it.
On a hike up the mountain, Luke has a vision unlike any other—one that leaves him terrified. Knowing that it will come true—and that he must do everything in his power to stop it—leaves his own future uncertain.

So far I highly recommend all of the above. Looks like I'm on a paranormal trend this week! LOL!
I can't wait to read Cursed, I'm glad you think it's good!
ReplyDeleteIntangible has been on my tbr for a while, I can't wait to see what you think of it.
Demons sounds good. I'll have to check out the first and come back tomorrow for your post!

YA, Cursed is really good so far. But IMO JLA can't really write anything that is BAD! LOL! Intangible is different. I'm only a little ways in. I'll be posting my review as soon as I'm done :) Stop by tomorrow, I finished Demons :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great looking books! Especially Cursed. I think I'll check that one out. This week I'm reading Artemis Rising by Cheri Lasota. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've always wanted to read that, Heather!
