Review of I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You by Ally Carter

Description
The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school, that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE, the latest in chemical warfare in science; and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes computer class. So in truth, Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses, but its really a school for spies.

Cammie Morgan is a second generation Gallagher Girl, and by her sophomore year she's already fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti.) But the one thing the Gallagher Academy hasn't prepared her for is what to do when she falls for an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl.

Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, and track him through a mall without his ever being the wiser, but can she have a regular relationship with a regular boy who can never know the truth about her? Cammie may be an elite spy in training, but in her sophomore year, shes beginning her most dangerous mission; she's falling in love.

Review of Poison Heart by S.B. Hayes

Description
From the moment Katy sees Genevieve's beautiful face staring at her from a window, her life will never be the same. Wherever Katy turns, Genevieve is there - at school, with Katy's friends, and worst of all, in Katy's hot new boyfriend's life.

But Genevieve has a menacing side, a dangerous side, a threatening side that she only reveals to Katy: I'm your worst nightmare.

When Genevieve's behaviour becomes increasingly twisted, Katy delves into the girl's past, with the help of her best friend Luke. Nothing prepares her for the dark truths that she discovers, or the new romance she finds along the way. Is Genevieve a troubled girl with a difficult childhood? Or is the truth unearthly and much more frightening?

Who is the real Genevieve?

What are her secrets?

Why is she determined to destroy Katy's life?

A rich, twisting thriller of friendship, love and evil that you'll find impossible to put down.

Review of Tegan's Magic (The Ultimate Power Series, #3) by L.H. Cosway

Description

Something is rotten in Tribane city. The humans are descending into madness and Tegan is certain that Theodore has something to do with it.

The sorcerer and his followers have sent her father to hell and she's determined to bring him back. She's not going to lie down and play dead this time, now she has magic on her side.

And then there's the alliance she and her friends have made with Ethan and his group of exiled vampires – vampires who were exiled because of something she did. She's not having the best time living under their quiet condemnation, especially Ethan's new-found hostility.

With all that going on, Tegan doesn't feel like her love life should be taking centre stage, yet she's finding that her friendship with Finn is evolving into something she never expected. The question is, should she explore the possibility of Finn or wait for Ethan to finally forgive her?

Both Whitfield and Pamphrock are regrouping, but which side is going to make the first move?

There will be magic.

There will be fighting.

Blood will be spilled.

Someone will emerge as the new ruler of Tribane and the only thing that's certain is the city will never be the same again.

My Thoughts

I'm so excited  and I can't hide it :) I am so looking forward to reading this book. L.H. Cosway always does justice to her books, every book that I have read from her has been amazing and I know in my heart this will be just as good as all of her others.

Once again she has given me this copy to review it with an honest and truthful opinion and that is exactly what I will be doing.

The cover is amazing and it shows just how strong and how Tegan doesn't want to be told what to do by the pose that she is in. The colours used are basic but it makes the cover brilliant with it. The title is always Tegan and then anther word aka. Tegan's Blood etc.. I like how that is and I got excited to see this called Tegan's magic. The last thing is the blurb... the very long blurb "aha". I like that it says exactly what will e involved without telling any spoilers and I love the last few lines, "There will be magic, There will be fighting, Blood will be spilled". I am now too excited.

This book was EXACTLY how I wanted it to be, it was amazing and how she made me read as fast as I could so I could find out more about the characters and find out who is the one that will emerge as the new ruler etc. The storyline continues from the last book, I think I few days.. or something after the last book (not sure). There's many twists and turns and they wont ever leave you feeling bored. At first I forgot what happened in detail with the last book, but I soon remembered  The pace of the book is perfect  as its not too fast or too slow. The style of the writing is just like all of her other books "perfect".

The characters in this book is very well developed and you can see that they have a changed since the first book.
The main character Tegan has developed the most in my own opinion as in the first book she was a little weak and lonely and stuff so it was great to see her grow stronger and to be able to stand on her own two feet.
The other characters in this book have also grown stronger or the bad guys grown weaker ;)

My Overall opinion is that I loved this book so much, and I am so happy that L.H. Cosway has stayed in touch with me to read all of her books. I love her as a friend and Author.
I recommend this book to anyone who has read her other books and who loves YA.

Review of Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin #1) by Robin LaFevers

Description
Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

Review of If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch

Description 

There are some things you can’t leave behind…

A broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence, with the one bright spot being Carey’s younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys.

Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won’t let her go… a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn't spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down.

My Thoughts
I found this on netgalley and I requested.. thinking I wont be allowed to read it, as I haven't reviewed a lot recently but I was allowed it and I was so happy about that. First thing that made me want to read the description on netgalley was the title and the cover, I mean if a cover is of a young girl with a dark area with trees with a title that says if you find me doesn't intrigue you then your not me, as that's what got me to read more information about it. After reading the description that just confirmed the fact that I want to read this, so I requested and prayed for it to be accepted and it was :D.

This was an amazing great read, and I am so chuffed that I got to read this. The story and plot was something real, and something so emotional, but because of that I knew the emotions running through the characters brains were so true and so real that I felt it.
The pace of the book is perfect as its not to fast but yet not to slow, also the storyline starts form the get go, as in you don't have to wait for 5 chapters before something interesting happens, it happens like straight away.
The way the book is written is amazing and perfect as its easy to understand and read the book knowing exactly what the author means.

The characters in this book were amazing, especially the main character Carey who has had a very difficult life along side her sister. The emotions that are shown through her is so.. amazing and I loved how she was flawed but so perfect in that way.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves a book that has emotion, changes and also something that little but different.

Review of Dinner With a Vampire (The Dark Heroine #1) by Abigail Gibbs

Description
One moment can change your life forever...

For Violet Lee, a chance encounter on a darkened street draws her into a world beyond her wildest imaginings, a timeless place of vast elegance and immeasurable wealth – of beautiful mansions and lavish parties – where a decadent group of friends live for pleasure alone. A place from which there is no escape...no matter how hard Violet tries.

Yet all the riches in the world can’t mask the darkness that lies beneath the gilded surface, embodied in the charismatic but dangerous Kaspar Varn.

Violet and Kaspar surrender to a passion that transcends their separate worlds – but it’s a passion that comes at a price...

Review of Heaven (Halo #3) by Alexandra Adornetto

Description
Bethany, an angel sent to Earth, and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier, have been to Hell and back. But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They don’t tell Beth’s archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens.
The only way Bethany and can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they can’t reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven – forever – and face leaving the love of her life?

My Thoughts 

I got this on my birthday as a gift from my sister. I was waiting to read this from the moment I finished reading Hades the second book. The title of the book makes so much sense  as the first one was called "Halo" then the second one is called "Hades" and now "Heaven" which is basically the main theme of the books I'm hoping it is.. with heaven as it was with the 2 before. The description also makes me feel that my idea is correct and i love that this is the conclusion and I hope.. I really hope its an ending I will love. The last thing is the cover,,, the amazing cover, I love how it looks like Bethany is being dragged back into heaven and Xavier is trying to pull her back down but that's not what makes it an amazing cover the the fact they form a Love Heart doing so.

This book was very good and I enjoyed every little bit about it. The story line was amazing and there was never a dull moment. The relationships between all of the characters was amazing and well thought out. I loved how new characters were introduced as well as the ones which were in book 1 and 2. I am glad that the book ended on this book, though I will always miss this story line.

The pace of the book is perfect for me as it wasn't too fast or too slow. The style of writing was easy to understand and there wasn't anything complicated in the way the author wrote and also she doesn't use big complicated words which I am happy about.

The two main characters Bethany and Xavier may of made a few rash decisions throughout the book but you can tell that they love each other with all of each others heats and they are willing to risk anything to be with each other. I loved the chemistry between them and I think in my opinion this is on the most cute couples ever.

I am so happy that Alexandra Adornetto wrote these 3 books, and I hope that she has a very happy life knowing she has made me happy with these books.
