Title : Unlikely Allies

Author : Tiffany King

Series : N/A

Rating : 3 Stars

Blurb : Eighteen-year-old Kimberly gets the shock of her life when she learns the father she thought was dead is not only very much alive, but never even knew she existed. Angry with her mother for lying all these years, Kimberly flies to Colorado to meet the father she knows nothing about before heading off to college in the fall. Her father’s world turns out to be nothing like she expected. Rather than the typical nine to five lifestyle, Kimberly’s father runs a summer foster camp that teaches young children skills to build their confidence and self-esteem. The Colorado Rocky Mountains are a different world than the sunny shores of California, taking Kimberly completely out of her element, and causing her to second-guess her spur of the moment decision. Never being one to quit anything, Kimberly is determined to show her father that a surfer girl can fit into this rugged mountain wilderness. That is if she can deal with Mason, an arrogant nineteen-year-old guy who has made it his mission to point out every mistake she has made since her arrival. While she would love nothing more than to rub it in his know-it-all face, Kimberly can’t deny the feelings he stirs up inside her, or the chemistry between them, even during their verbal assaults. When a tragic accident leaves them stranded in the mountains, Kimberly must use her shaky skills to save Mason and survive the elements. Suddenly, fighting is the last thing on their minds as they must rely on each other if they want to live. In their struggle for survival, they realize what they thought they knew about each other isn’t true after all.

Review : That book had me – it was on a sure way to a 5 star and than it happend … You ask what happend ? She stumbled on the street to get help … that is what happend … and everything afterwards just simple ruined it … I did not get it anymore … I could mention half a dozend tiny details … like the mother keeping them apart, the way it was mentioned what really happend to him, this stupid “to which college should i go now” hopping … OH and my absolute favorite … THE END – if the Book hadn’t been finished at that moment i would have ended it on my own. I don’t know what really happend in the writers mind that she decided the way she did – but some minor changes would have given this story a real good burst I am really angry – It had lots of potential

Title : The Wright Brother

Author : Marie Hall

Series : N/A

Rating : 5 Stars

Blurb : From the moment I opened my eyes I could only see the world in shades of gray. There was no noise, no sound, nothing. Deaf and colorblind, I was a freak. My world was bleak, silent and empty, until her. Until I met my neighbor, Elisa Jane Adrian. I want her. I need her. The fractured part of me feels whole when she’s around. Like the world isn’t so dark, isn’t so bleak, and so still. I know it’s impossible, but when I look at Elisa I swear I can see color, can hear the gentle inhalations of her breath. I know she feels it too, this magic, this desperate desire… I first saw him when I was three. Julian Wright was different than any other guy I’d ever known. He sees the world in a way I know I never will. But he intrigues me. The way he looks at me with his sea green eyes, how he hypnotizes me with his smile. It’s dangerous these feelings I have for him. Reckless and stupid. I’m so much older than him, I know better. And I’ll fight these desires, no one will ever know how I feel. I’ll even pretend to myself that I’m not as hooked on him as he is on me. I’ll move away to college, I’ll forget him, but that’s the thing about the Wright’s, they have a way of getting under your skin, into your soul, and no matter the time or distance, once a Wright sets their eyes on you, there’s no going back…ever.

Review : Why i did not read the book sooner ? Easy answer – the cover did nothing to me … By all that art stuff going on in the book and the whole plot of being def and colorblind – there should have been a better and more fitting cover… Having said that let me get to the story …. I LOVED IT When you read as many books as I do – you always come to the point of thinking … Will there ever be a plot that I did not have already several times in different versions of the same thing …And you start getting afraid … Because at some point you should have read every plot version possible… BUT THIS one again did its own magic … I have never read a plot like this … The characters are so well developed you acually feel what they are feeling. And the length of the actual plot beeing like 25/30 years long … is wonderfull Its so nice as a contrast to all those latly upcoming 100 page novels I truly mostly dislike because of their weak character development and insta love… – sorry but most of them miss depth as it takes a real good plot and author do make them belivable … So this book had its own magic … it had a normal length but it covered a very long period of time … wonderfull job – thank you

Title : American Girl on Saturn

Author : Nikki Godwin

Series : Saturn, #1

Rating : 5 Stars

Blurb : The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom – but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys…in their house. Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren’t happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can’t escape Emery’s fangirlisms for more than three minutes. But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being “out of this world.” If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn’t want to come back to Earth.

Review :

I didn’t expect to like it this much – as I normally am a little TOO old to enjoy YA. But I was surprised – Really Surprised. Having a little trouble in the beginning of the story (Is it only me ? or was it strange that the guys should no fear or reaction to a shooting ? This was really the only point I thought was not so easy to follow) it actually became very intense in parts and a real deep “thing” Without spoilers let my just mention “Fireflys” Did you ever dream of meeting your star? like REALLY getting to know them including flaws ? Ladies and Gentlemen – here is your book …

Title : Ripped

Author : Katy Evans

Series : Real, #5

Rating : 4 Stars

Blurb : The fifth book in the New York Times new adult series that began with Real. When an angry, heartbroken girl is forced to be near her rocker ex-boyfriend, only time will tell if the fire between them will consume them both. Pandora, the gothic friend of Brooke (Real, Mine, Remy) and Melanie, thought that getting her heart broken by her bad boy rocker ex could only happen once. But now, he’s back in town with the biggest concert of the year. Pandora hates him so much that she gets Melanie to come with her and play a prank on him at his gig. But when they are caught by security, and her ex himself is summoned, he decides not to press charges if she’ll follow certain conditions. Pandora likes none of his rules, or that he’s in charge of her, especially since they seem designed to make sure she’s in close contact with him again. But the closeness reignites the passion they once shared, and soon no matter how much she wants to hate him, it’s clear she’s still hung up on him. And worse: he knows it too.

Review : well – what to say about this one … I liked it better than Book 4 – but I can not give it a 5 star one … Why ? Is the book bad ? or missing something ? No honestly it is not – but Remy placed the expectations so high that no other book in this series can follow If Book 4 and 5 would stand on their own – they would probably get the 5 stars easy – but after reading Remy you go into this with a certain expectation and this is impossible to meet …. So basically giving all other books only 4 stars – is like giving Remy a 6 and 7th star on top….

Title : Bully

Author : Penelope Douglas

Series : Fall Away #1

Rating : 4 Stars

Blurb : My name is Tate. He doesn’t call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all. No, he’ll barely even speak to me. But he still won’t leave me alone. We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I’ve been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him. But I’m done hiding from him now, and there’s no way in hell I’ll allow him to ruin my senior year. He might not have changed, but I have. It’s time to fight back. I’m not going to let him bully me anymore.

Review : Again staring at the bookcover and thinking what to say about that book I should really come up with a structured voting list like I saw others use… But also I am not sure I like those flashy picture flooding reviews that are so common just now… well anyway – I am drifting – I am struggeling between 4 or 5 stars …. It was a really good book it had all I liked and fans of Colleen Hoovers books are going to love it I am sure. And I feel it was a 5 Star one …. it was only on the last twist and turns that it lost speed and even if the “final” Bully touches were written very good – I still had this feeling inside myself telling me the “phone” thing ( not to spoiler anything ) should have been placed further in the book – it looked like an chapter that was attached afterwards … like it shouldn’t have been there … Don’t get me wrong – it was a good “thing” and perfectly written – just its position inside the story didn’t help … it mixed up … The flow of the story was disturbed … this was feeling like a main angle point that was placed at the end insted of somewhere in the middle so the whole story afterwards seemed to be missing “something” I can not even specifically say what that “something” was – it was just missing … It left me with the strange feeling of beeing incomplete – even if the story is round -ok- maybe I am not making any sence but its the way I feel
