This week has not been an easy one for my part of the country. As so many of you know, the East coast was hit with hurricane Sandy. She wreaked havoc on New Jersey for sure. SO much devastation. Thankfully, we only lost power and have a generator which allowed us to stay in our home. The kids have not had school all week, I have missed several days of work and my husband has been working non-stop and hardly home.
Even with all this, I was able to get some reading done. Even finished a book! So here's what I've been reading this week:
I was given this book by the author to read and give an honest review. I will be participating in a blog tour for this book in a few weeks, so I will post my review at that time. I'm still at the very beginning learning what is going on.
Secrets. Lies. Deception. For the past six years, Samantha Hunt has lived with the belief that the untimely death of her parents was the result of an unfortunate accident—that by the cruel hand of fate, she had been left an orphan. But it was a lie, a terrible lie told to her by those who wanted to keep her in the dark. And the truth... when revealed, will change her life and haunt her forever.
Suddenly plagued by a series of events which find her in danger and in need of a savior, Samantha is repeatedly rescued by the mysterious and elusive Shadow—a stranger who seems to know more about her past and the tragedy which befell her family, than she does. Drawn to him despite the antagonism she feels whenever in his presence, Samantha soon discovers that Shadow is not what he appears to be. Determined to learn his true identity and why he has come to Mystery Falls, the small town in which she has spent all of her seventeen years, Samantha not only uncovers the secrets he refuses to share, but also the truth about her own past. A truth which forces her to acknowledge that things are not always as they seem, and sometimes, not even those close to you can be trusted.
Resolved to seeking justice for the unwarranted death of her parents, Samantha embarks on a journey which brings her perilously close to her own demise. Can Shadow use his angel powers to save her yet again, or this time, will he be too late

I'm still reading this one. I've kind of stalled with it. I really want to finish this series soon. I really am enjoying it and I want to be able to move on to The Lost Prince very soon!

My name is Meghan Chase.
I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it.This time, there will be no turning back.
I read and finished both of these this week. Each one in only a few hours. These were totally guilty pleasure reads for me. I am a great lover of anything Jennifer L. Armentrout

Forced together for her brother's wedding getaway, Chase and Madison decide to call a truce for the happy couple. Except all bets are off when they're forced to shack up in a tacky 70’s honeymoon suite and survive a multitude of "accidents" as the family tries to prove their "spark" can be used than for more than fighting.

When the paparazzi catch them in a compromising position, Chad’s manager issues an ultimatum: clean up his act or kiss his multi-million dollar contract goodbye. To save his career, his meddling publicist says he'll have to convince everyone Bridget isn’t just his flavor of the week, but his girlfriend.
Being blackmailed into a fake relationship with Chad Gamble isn’t easy, especially when the sizzling physical attraction between them is undeniable. With a month to go on their arranged pretense, it's going to take every ounce of willpower they have not to fall into bed together...or in love
I started this one this week, as well. I just LOVED Under The Never Sky, so I'm not surprised that I am loving this one.
Title: Roar and Live (An Under The Never Sky Story)
Author: Veronica Rossi
Publication Date: October 30, 2012
Publisher: Harper Collins
After a childhood spent wandering the borderlands, Roar finally feels like he has a home with the Tides. His best friend Perry is like a brother to him, and Perry's sister, Liv, is the love of his life. But Perry and Liv's unpredictable older brother, Vale, is the Blood Lord of the Tides, and he has never looked kindly on Roar and Liv's union. Normally, Roar couldn't care less about Vale's opinion. But with food running low and conditions worsening every day, Vale's leadership is more vital—and more brutal—than ever. Desperate to protect his tribe, Vale makes a decision that will shatter the life Roar knew and change the fate of the Tides forever.
I was really hoping to get more done this week, especially since I was home a lot, but it just did not happen with all the storm stuff going on. I'm hoping now that we have power and things are slowly returning to normal, next week will be better reading wise!
Have a great weekend!
