Blog Tour: Fractured Light by Rachel McClellan --Review/Author Interview

Fractured Light
(Fractured Light, #1)
by Rachel McClellan
Released |February 8th 2012 by Sweetwater Books|
Edition |Ebook|

Llona Reese is used to living on the run. After the Vykens killed her parents, she knew they would eventually come for her too. But she never felt ready to face them---until now. Defying the Auran Council and everything she's been taught, Llona must learn to use her power over light as a weapon if she wants to survive.

I have to say, I did not know what to expect going into this book. It was unexpected amazing read! Ratings: 4.5 stars :) This was a quick, and exciting read that left me really anxious for the next book in the series.

The Kill Order by James Dashner

The prequel to the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series.
Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.
Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next. Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.
Mark and Trina are convinced there’s a way to save those left living from descending into madness. And they’re determined to find it—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some, you’re worth more dead than alive.

I don't think I've ever read a full blown prequel before, but everyone knows that I loved The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner. I have to be honest, I didn't even know there was going to be a prequel to the The Maze Runner trilogy. So when I seen Kill Order on Netgalley, I did a little happy dance :) I didn't know how I would feel about it, but...Here's what I thought.

Hey everyone,
Those for checking out my haul.
Don't forget to leave your links, so that I can check out yours :)

For Review

The Eyes of the Desert Sand by Edwin Wolfe - The author contacted me about receiving a copy of the book and I just it in the mail and it sounds really interesting, so I'm really excited to read it.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - edelweiss - I am super excited to read this book :) When I seen it on edelweiss, I instantly requested it! I can't wait to read it.

Ebooks Bought

Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard - I have been super excited to read this since I first seen it. So I can't wait to see what it's about.
A Blood Seduction by Pamela Palmer - It's funny because I received a bookmark for this book a few months ago and when I seen it on amazon, I decided to get it. I didn't even know what it's about.

Freebies

These are all the books I got this week that was free on Amazon :) So I decide to get them!

Spark by Brigid Kemmerer

Gabriel Merrick plays with fire. Literally.

Sometimes he can even control it. And sometimes he can’t. Like the fire that killed his parents.

Gabriel has always had his brothers to rely on, especially his twin, Nick. But when an arsonist starts wreaking havoc on their town, all the signs point to Gabriel. Only he’s not doing it.

More than Gabriel’s pride is at stake -- this could cost him his family, maybe his life. And no one seems to hear him. Except a shy sophomore named Layne, a brainiac who dresses in turtlenecks and jeans and keeps him totally off balance. Layne understands family problems, and she understands secrets. She has a few of her own.

Gabriel can’t let her guess about his brothers, about his abilities, about the danger that’s right at his heels. But there are some risks he can’t help taking.

The fuse is lit…

Let me just say one thing. I did NOT think I would fall in love with Gabriel Merrick as much as I did! I think he just might be a fave :) I love all the Merrick brothers, but in this book, Gabriel stood out from the others. He showed emotions and his actions were completely different than what I thought of him! How could this book be just as good or even better than Storm? I can't even decide which one I liked better :D But Spark gave Storm a run for its money!

Itching To Get My Hands On (17)

Onyx (Lux, #2)
Released |August 14th 2012 by Entangled Publishing|
OMG, I am dying an agonizing death waiting for the release of this book. I need to know what happens now!

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard.
Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem…
The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s.
But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. Daemon’s never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?
No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies.

Shadows by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Shadows
(Lux, 0.5)
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Released |February 21st 2012 by Entangled Publishing|
Edition |Ebook, 179 pages|

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.
Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.
Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.
Captivated. Lured. Loved.
Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

OMG OMG OMG! A-freaking-MAZING :D, but oh so sad. This was the best, oh the best, I can't even write... *Comes back 5 minutes later after getting her emotions together*

I haven't done a top ten in a while :)
This week's topic is: Top Ten Most Vivid Worlds/Settings In Books
Hosted by: the broke and bookish

A book where you can picture the world/setting as your reading, makes the experience that much better :) These are the books that stuck out to me!

1. The Iron Fey world :) by Julie Kagawa

-I could picture this world the most and it was the first book off the top of the head :)

2. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

Florence by Ciye Cho

Seventeen-year-old Florence Waverley is out of her depth. Literally. Kidnapped and taken below the waves to the mer world of Niemela, she is the ultimate gift for merman Prince Kiren: a human familiar tied to his side. But nothing is what it seems amid the beauty and danger of a dark ocean.
Every Niemelan has a role to play, from the mermaids who weave towers out of kelp to the warriors who fight sea monsters. But in trying to survive, Florence will end up in the middle of a war between the mer and the Darkness. A conflict that will push her between two brothers: Kiren, the charmer inexplicably drawn to both her and the monsters; and Rolan, the loner who has been pushing her away since the day they met. But in order to take a stand--and find out where she belongs--Florence will have to risk it all: her life, her heart... and her very soul.

I would like to thank Ciye Cho for a review copy of this book :) All thoughts are my honest opinion :) And I must say that I am really starting to get into the mermaid/mermen genre. It's very interesting and different than your typical vampire, werewolf, witchy stories.

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore

Until the day I met John Smith, Number Four, I'd been on the run alone, hiding and fighting to stay alive.Together, we are much more powerful. But it could only last so long before we had to separate to find the others. . . .I went to Spain to find Seven, and I found even more, including a tenth member of the Garde who escaped from Lorien alive. Ella is younger than the rest of us, but just as brave. Now we're looking for the others--including John.But so are they.They caught Number One in Malaysia.Number Two in England.And Number Three in Kenya.They caught me in New York--but I escaped.I am Number Six. They want to finish what they started.But they'll have to fight us first.

Really?! What the heck? I could have sworn this was the last book in the series lol :D But, there's another one I know for a fact. How could it end like THAT? Now, of course, I have to wait a whole year for the next one to find out what happens nexts. 4.5 ratings! I love love LOVE this series :)

What Kills Me by Wynne Channing

What Kills Me

by Wynne Channing

Released |June 6th 2012 by Jet & Jack Press|
Edition |Ebook, 209 pages|

Source |For Review-Provided by Author|

An ancient prophecy warns of a girl destined to cause the extinction of the vampire race.
So when 17-year-old Axelia falls into a sacred well filled with blood and emerges a vampire, the immortal empire believes she is this legendary destroyer. Hunted by soldiers and mercenaries, Axelia and her reluctant ally, the vampire bladesmith Lucas, must battle to survive.
How will she convince the empire that she is just an innocent teenager-turned bloodsucker and not a creature of destruction? And if she cannot, can a vampire who is afraid of bugs summon the courage to fight a nation of immortals?

This fast paced, action packed novel blew me away. It took a different take on vampirism (pretty sure that's not a word)and that's what makes it so unique. Seeing an author come up with their own unique take on things is what makes a book amazing :)

Author Interview: J. Meyers

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.
Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.

My 4.5 star review: Here

Interview Questions

1. Where are you from and can you tell us a little but about yourself?

I'm originally from Vermont, but I currently live in central New York. I love to laugh and try not to take life too seriously. And I have always believed that doing something you love is much better than being rich. Richness in life is measured in much more important and meaningful things than money.

Crossed by Ally Condie

Rules Are Different Outside The Society
Chasing down an uncertain future, Cassia makes her way to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky--taken by the Society to his sure death--only to find that he has escaped into the majestic, but treacherous, canyons. On this wild frontier are glimmers of a different life and the enthralling promise of a rebellion. But even as Cassia sacrifices every thing to reunite with Ky, ingenious surprises from Xander may change the game once again.Narrated from both Cassia's and Ky's point of view, this hotly anticipated sequel to Matched will take them both to the edge of Society, where nothing is as expected and crosses and double crosses make their path more twisted than ever.

The thing about this series is that it has a great story within, but the books are just slow paced. Slow paced to the point of where you tend to get bored. But if you overlook the slowness, the story itself is amazing!

Fever by Lauren DeStefano

Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.
Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.
The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.
In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.

This sequel was absolutely amazing :) At first I didn't know how I would feel about it, but low and behold I think it might have just topped Wither!

Intangible by J. Meyers

Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift.
Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it.

This was an amazing read :) I have never read a book about twins before and the fact that they both had Gifts....To see the future and to heal?! How awesome can that get! 4.5 stars to the first installment of this page turning series :)

Itching To Get My Hands On (16)

Books I'm itching to get :D

This is going to be a long one lol So be prepared!
Well not that many. *sigh* I'll leave it at four!
I won't do that to you :S

Even though I still have not read Clockwork Prince ;)
(Infernal Devices, #3)

In Clockwork Princess, Tessa and her companions travel all over the world as they race to stop the clockwork army before it’s too late. As Jem’s health worsens alarmingly and his friends search desperately for a cure, can Tessa choose between the two boys she loves—even if it means never seeing the other one again?

Will be reading Fever soon :D
(The Chemical Garden, #3)

What if you knew exactly when you would die? In the not-too-distant future, genetic engineering has turned every newborn into a ticking time bomb — males only live to age 25 and females only live to age 20.In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out. When 16-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by "the Gatherers" to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Rhine has only one purpose after she has been married to her new husband, Linden: to escape and find her twin brother.But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden’s eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant to whom she is dangerously attracted, Rhine is desperate to learn the truth and protect those closest to her. But, as her sister wife Cecily keeps insisting, her role may be much bigger than that.In the first two books of the Chemical Garden trilogy, Wither and Fever, Rhine struggles to escape the mansion and then to navigate the brutal world outside. Now in Sever, the third and final book, Rhine uncovers some shattering truths about the past that her parents never had the chance to tell her and the alarming implications regarding her own genes. She may be the one who can save the human race.

The Goddess Legacy by Aimee Carter

For millennia we've caught only glimpses of the lives and loves of the gods and goddesses on Olympus. Now Aime e Carter pulls back the curtain on how they became the powerful, petty, loving and dangerous immortals that Kate Winters knows.
Calliope/Hera represented constancy and yet had a husband who never matched her faithfulness....Ava/Aphrodite was the goddess of love and yet commitment was a totally different deal....Persephone was urged to marry one man, yet longed for another....James/Hermes loved to make trouble for others-but never knew true loss before....Henry/Hades's solitary existence had grown too wearisome to continue. But meeting Kate Winters gave him a new hope....Five original novellas of love, loss and longing and the will to survive throughout the ages.

I loved this collection of short stories that Aimee Carter has put together. If you have read this series, this is a must read because it explains so much and it starts from the beginning! I really liked it. Ratings, 4.5 stars!

Kiss The Dead by Laurell K. Hamilton

Kiss The Dead
(Anita Blake, #21)
by Laurell K. Hamilton
Released |June 5th 2012 by Berkly|
Edition |Ebook|

When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…
But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…

I am starting to wish this series hurry and end. Not in a bad way, but the series is starting to drag out. I mean seriously, this is book #21! 3.5 stars to Kiss The Dead. The action was still there though AND the steamy romances :D

Matched by Ally Condie

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

I didn't really know if I would like this book, but sometimes you just never know until you find out! :)

June Wrap UP

Hey everyone,
Here with my June Wrap Up.
Not a video, but I will list the books and the ratings and a little bit of what I thought.
I read 14 books this month!!!! Whoa :D Shocker!

Review Books Read

Dark Companion by Marta Acosta - 3 stars - I thought it was okay. It was an interesting story, but I couldn't really get into the whole concept with the trees. Review
Spark by Brigid Kemmerer - 5 stars - I absolutely adored Gabriel! I think he might just be my fave brother :) My little fire element. Review will be up July 28.
Fractured Light by Rachel McClellan - 4.5 stars - Receive for blog tour and my blog tour stop is July 31. This book was pretty awesome and I didn't know what to expect going into it, but I loved the whole concept of light.

Infamous by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The world has fallen in love with Nick Gautier and the Dark-Hunters. Now Nick’s saga continues in the next eagerly anticipated volume...
Go to school. Get good grades. Stay out of trouble. That’s the mandate for most kids. But Nick Gautier isn’t the average teenager. He’s a boy with a destiny not even he fully understands. And his first mandate is to stay alive while everyone, even his own father, tries to kill him.
He’s learned to annihilate zombies and raise the dead, divination and clairvoyance, so why is learning to drive such a difficulty? But that isn’t the primary skill he has to master. Survival is.
And in order to survive, his next lesson makes all the others pale in comparison. He is on the brink of becoming either the greatest hero mankind has ever known.
Or he’ll be the one who ends the world. With enemies new and old gathering forces, he will have to call on every part of himself to fight or he’ll lose everyone he cares about.
Even himself.
