All Hannah needs is a nice and quiet vacation after her first year of teaching French at a high school. She joins her brother Ben for the summer in their mom’s log cabin in Arizona. There, she meets Josh again, Ben’s childhood friend from the Navajo reservation. The little boy from the rez has grown up fast, and Hannah can’t help but feeling more for him than just friendship.

But fate apparently has something else in store for her. And it’s not peace and quiet. Night after night, Hannah is plagued by strange nightmares about the past of Navajo Nation and terrifying shadows chasing her. They seem to come closer – and why is Josh always present in her dreams?

Sometimes, the past has a way of catching up with you.

First of all, my compliments to Jen Minkman for the way she wrote this book. There's no way to tell that a dutchie wrote and translated this book herself. Great job!

So, the story. It's very intriguing and definitely original. I've never read anything like it. The characters in the book are all very likable. Hannah doesn't come off as a 23-year old, but that didn't really bother me. I also adored Josh. He’s such a sweet guy, it’s impossible not to like him.

The reasons I can't give this book 5 stars is because even though I enjoyed the story, I think it was a bit too long. The part when you read about Josh' past two lives actually bored me a little bit. That's why Shadow of Time is getting 4 stars from me. It's a great book and I loved how Minkman makes you really feel like you are actually there at the Navajo reservation even though she hasn't even been in the United States herself. I'm looking forward to Jen Minkmans next books!

Just a small note for all the dutch readers: Jen Minkmans boek Back to School is nu ook hier te verkrijgen als ebook. Ook de moeite waard om te lezen!

Review: Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron

Two years after her best friend was involved in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain injury, Lottie Anders is ready to start her freshman year of college. Ready to move on. Ready to start forgetting the night that ripped her life apart. Her plans come to a screeching halt when not one, but both brothers responsible for the accident end up back in her life again.

Zack is cruel, selfish and constantly rubbing what happened to her friend in Lottie's face. Zan is different. He listens to her awkward ramblings. He loves "To Kill a Mockingbird" as much as she does, and his dark eyes are irresistible. His words are few and far between, but when he does speak, she can't help but listen.

The trouble is, Zan was the driver in the accident, and now Lottie's discovered he lied to her about what happened that night. Now she must decide if trusting him again will lead to real forgiveness, or deeper heartache.

I got this book from Netgalley and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Now, after finishing it, I am definitely a Chelsea M. Cameron fan! This was a wonderful and lovely book. It was sad, but also funny and sexy. It has the best pillow talk I've ever come across in a book. The fact that Lottie wasn't able to shut up made me enjoy it even more. 

Most of the characters in this book were great, except for Zack, he's just a major douche. Thankfully, Zan makes up for that. He's so sweet and nice. And even though Zan and Zack were responsible for the accident, Lottie starts to fall for Zan. Obviously, you can't choose who you love..

There are only two small things; I wished we would've been able to read about Lottie meeting Miss Carole. And in the end I felt like the book was a teeny tiny bit too long. But I still loved and enjoyed it a lot. So I'm giving it 4,5 stars.

Filling Up The Weekend (9)

A few tips for you all to read this weekend:

Young Adult: This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

The story sounds very romantic. I haven't read it yet, but I'm going to start it this weekend. My expectations are very high, this book just has to be amazing!

New Adult: The Wager (The Bet #2) by Rachel van Dyken

Anyone who has read my review of the Bet knows how much I absolutely loved it. If you haven't read the Bet, you should go do it soon. And while you're at it, try the sequel too! You won't be disappointed!

Young Adult: My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles #1) by Alyxandra Harvey

I discovered this series when I was on vacation in New Zealand. I've read the first three books and loved them. It's a fun and lovely series that you should really try if you like vampires.

Chick lit: Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham

I still want to punch myself for not going to Lauren Graham's book signing when I still lived in New York. So stupid! Anyway, this book is a must read for all you chick lit/romance lovers out there.

Review: Goddess by Josephine Angelini

Title: Goddess (Starcrossed #3)

Author: Josephine Angelini

Genre: Young Adult

She must rise, or they will fall ...Helen's powers are increasing--and so is the distance between her and her mortal friends. To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a dangerous traitor is lurking among them, and all fingers point to Orion. Still unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, or risk all-out war.

I always saw the Greek gods as good, but after reading this trilogy, I'm seeing them in a completely different way. My favorite god was Hades, surprisingly. This book was a good ending to the series, although after reading it I kind of feel like Angelini is keeping her options open, she can easily write a fourth book if she wants too.  

What I didn't like was that it took so damn long for Daphne to finally admit the truth to Helen about her and Lucas and I was sad that there wasn't much time for romance because of the big war. But there were still some cute moments. I especially liked Orion's HEA. The whole Matt thing was a bit confusing for me and I didn't really like that twist. But it was still a very cool book. It made me want to read more books with Greek mythology in it! 

4 stars for Goddess.

Review: Dreamless by Josephine Angelini

Title: Dreamless (Starcrossed #2)

Author: Josephine Angelini

As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.

Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies’ cry for blood is growing louder.

As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen’s sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.

The day after I finished Starcrossed, I rushed to the store to buy Dreamless. I was completely addicted to this series. My mistake, is that I didn't buy Goddess, because boy do I want to read that book now! 

Dreamless is a very awesome book. I love the Greek mythology that's going on in the story. I felt like there was less of Lucas and Helen's family, which is too bad because Jerry cracks me up. The whole underworld thing was kind of scary, especially the consequences it had for Helen, but the presence of new hottie Orion made up for that. What I also still adore about these books is Helen. She's such a badass and she's not even at her full strength yet. 

The thing that makes me not give the book 5 stars is the fact that Daphne has the whole book to tell Lucas and Helen they're not related, but she just doesn't tell them. What kind of a mother does that?? It's really annoying and Angelini better make up for it in the third and final book.  

Review: Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Destiny brought them together.

The gods will keep them apart.

When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton meets Lucas Delos for the first time, she thinks two things: the first, that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life; the second, that she wants to kill him with her bare hands.

An ancient curse means Lucas and Helen are destined to loathe one another. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen next...

I absolutely love YA's with greek mythology. When I started this book I had no idea what it was about so I was pleasantly surprised. The first time Helen and Lucas meet was so awesome. I love how badass Helen was in that moment. But I've got to say, those furies really scared the crap out of me..

Starcrossed is a very original book. I can't compare it to anything, and I don't even want to. It's an amazing book and you will be completely absorbed in it from the start. I read it for the read-a-thon so I finished it within a day, but even if I would've read it at any other time, I still would have been so addicted that couldn't do anything but read.  In the beginning I didn't like that Helen was so incredibly shy that she even got cramps when people looked at her, so I'm glad that eventually you find out the reason for that. Lucas and his family are great. I loved all of them.

At the end of the book, a few devastating things happen, some of which really bothered me, that's why it's getting 4,5 stars instead of 5. The day after I finished Starcrossed, I bought the sequel: Dreamless. I can't wait to see how this story will continue. Josephine Angeline has turned me into an addict.

Filling Up The Weekend (8)

Don't know what to read? Here are a few tips to get you through the weekend.

Womens Fiction: Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

I was very impressed by this book. When I started reading it, I couldn't stop. And it has an ending that blew me away. Definitely a must-read!

Young Adult: Shatter Me (#1) by Tahereh Mafi

I've read this last year and I still remember how much I loved it. It was a 5 star book, without a doubt. Most of you YA lovers have probably already read it, but if you haven't: please read it soon! You will not be disappointed!

Fantasy: Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning

Once you get into the story, you won't be able to stop reading. I read all five of the Fever books in a row. They just kept getting better and better!

Young Adult: Poison Study (Study #1) by Maria V. Snyder

Another great YA. I've only read the first book in this series but the ending leaves you wanting more, so the second book, Magic Study, is very high on my wishlist.

My Wishlist Wednesday (17)

It's been awhile since my last wishlist, so in the meantime my list grow a lot longer. Keep reading if you want to know which books I'm dying to buy!

Young Adult: The 5th Wave (#1) by Rick Yancey
Ever since I saw Rick Yancey in real life at a booksigning, I've been very curious about his books. This one is supposed to be really great so I'm definitely going to read it. I hope his books are as great as Yancey himself.

Romance: Destined to Play (Avalon Trilogy #1) by Indigo Bloome
When I saw this book, my first thought was: Another E.L. James wannabe? But the synopsis intrigued me, and even though the ratings on Goodreads aren't all that great, I'm still going to read it. Stubborn is my middle name after all...

Romance: Mirror (Luke #1) by Cassia Leo
I don't like short stories or novella's, simply because they're too damn short. But this series is getting so many great reviews that I put on my wishlist despite my aversion towards short stories.

Young Adult: Angelfire (#1) by Courtney Allison Moulton
Goodreads recommended this book to me because I loved Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. Well okay then, if Angelfire is as good as the Starcrossed series, I'm definitely going to enjoy it! 

Review: Stripped by H.M. Ward

Title: Stripped (#1)

Author: H.M. Ward

Genre: New Adult/Romance

First Published: September 2013

Buy It: Amazon

The V Card. Virgin. Most of us want to punch that sucker ASAP, and hide the fact until then, but not Cassie Hale. Three years ago she frickin' covered hers in glitter and laminated the thing, proudly telling me that she's waiting for the perfect guy.

So when I see her half naked, tangled together, rolling around on the floor with another stripper, I'm kind of shocked. Okay, that's an understatement. I'm enthralled. I have to know what cracked her picture perfect world and landed her here, and I hope it's something horrible-an event that broke her the way she broke me. Because, that's who Cassie Hale is--the woman who stole my heart and crushed it in her hand.

This book started off strong. The flashbacks to how Cassie and Jon met and how their relationship ended, I think that was my favorite part of the book. When we came back to the present it wasn't what I expected. I wasn't drawn into the book anymore but kept reading because I hoped it would get better. For me, not enough happened in the present part of the book. I kept waiting for that Mark to show up or something else exciting. And then all of a sudden the book ended. It wasn't even an ending, it felt like I was in the middle of a chapter and then boom. The end. Maybe Ward did this so you just have to buy the second book, which worked on me, because now I have to read it, but I would have been happier if she made an ending that makes more sense. 

Of course there are some positive things too, Cassie for example. I love how she stayed true to her beliefs and didn't let Jon turn her into mush and forget everything that's important to her. And Jon, another hot Ferro brother, but still, I can't give this book more than 3,5 stars. Which I absolutely don't like to do, because I adored Damaged 1 and 2.

Review: Tall, Dork and Handsome by Remy Richard

Title: Tall, Dork and Handsome (#1)
Author: Remy Richard
ASIN: B00D0H7RW4
Genre: Romance
First Published: May 2013

Holden is working on the biggest coding problem of his life, and that’s saying something for a man who’s been coding since he was ten years old. The problem is all of these distractions: threats against his sister’s life, break-ins, and the sexiest, most contrary con artist imaginable. How is a guy supposed to keep his mind on math when there’s a man-eater in the room?

Sabrina is just minding her own business, breaking into Holden’s home, when his head of security catches her in the act. She barters information about her accomplices (who are working on much more dangerous schemes than she is comfortable with) for her freedom. But after a few days with Holden, his sister and friends, she’s not sure that she wants her freedom anymore.

I got this book as a freebie on Amazon, and I thought it would be a nice change between a few more serious books. It was a very light and easy read. After the first 10% of the book I thought it was gonna be one of those books where they meet, have sex and instantly fall in love. All in a couple of days. Fortunately, it was more than a couple of days and they didn't fall in love instantly. They were attracted to each other obviously, but didn't act on it at first. 

I liked the story, Sabrina being a con artist who breaks into Holden's home and then gets kidnapped by Holden and his head of security, Sam. They promise her to not call the police if she tells them who hired her. She's a bit reluctant to give names at first, but after there is another break in, she finally opens up. After all, Sabrina's in this with them now, the burglars saw her face and think she changed sides. But has she?

Holden is a cute guy, kind of dorky (he can't stop working) but with a smoking hot body. How is that even possible if he works day and night? There's another thing that didn't make sense. In the beginning, Sabrina tells Holden everything she knows about him, including what she knows about his parents. And then later on she asks why Holden's mom wasn't around when he was a kid, and what happened to his dad. A sloppy mistake if you ask me, because Sabrina already told Holden that she knew that.

I know this book is about Holden and Sabrina, but I would've loved to read more about Sam and Holden's sister, Lila. But maybe they will be in a future book? I hope so. This book, Tall, Dork and Handsome, is getting 3 stars from me. If you want to relax and don't think too much, this is a fun read.

My Wishlist Wednesday (16)

Romance: Wallbanger by Alice Clayton

The title gives me some weird ideas, but maybe that's just me. The reviews are really good and the synopsis sounds funny so I really want to read this one.

Chick lit: The Unpredictable Consequences of Love by Jill Mansell 

I don't have to explain this one. I mean, it's Jill Mansell!

Womens Fiction: Firefly Lane (Firefly Lane #1) by Kristin Hannah

After reading Night Road (which was beautiful btw, please read it if you haven't yet) I got very curious about Hannah's other books. This one sounds great so I'm going to read it soon.

Young Adult: Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi

Confession time: I haven't read Unravel Me yet. I know, I know, shame on me, but because I know it's going to be awesome, I already put the third book on my wishlist.

Review: Head Over Wheels by January Valentine

Title: Head Over Wheels

Being a member of the NYPD has been Jewelia's lifelong dream. Things are going as planned until she meets Indigo, the hot med student who sends her flying head over heels. Which is not to be confused with Head Over Wheels.

It's love at first sight, but there's a lot of inward and outward struggling going on, as well as sexual tension. So many problems to contend with, like Vanessa Whitehall who has loved Indigo since they were kids. Then there's his wealthy family complete with skeletons in every closet in their mansion.

I can sum this book up in one word: DRAMA! There is so much of it, that it gets a little annoying at one point. Head Over Wheels is a roller coaster of emotions. One moment Jewel is deliriously happy, then she's depressed, then she's mad and then she's happy again. Every little thing that happens upsets her. Of course I can understand that Vanessa pisses her off, but Jewel's thoughts and reactions were kind of extreme sometimes.

Indigo seemed like a great guy at first, but a someone who can't even send one text message during his work week because apparently he is too busy all of the time, pisses me off. Eventually you get an explanation about why he acts like that, which is actually really sad, but I'm not sure if that just makes everything okay.

Something I noticed about this book is that the writer keeps using the word groovy. Isn't that a word from the sixties and seventies or something? It felt kind of silly to me.

Overall, Head Over Heels is a nice story, but it didn't live up to my expectations. What I did love was the beautiful epilogue. Great ending of the book.

Review: Crave by J.R. Ward

The battle between good and evil has left the future of humanity in the hands of a reluctant saviour and his band of fallen angels. Seven deadly sins that must be righted. Seven souls that must be saved. While his first task was success, Jim Heron is battling a demon that can take any form for the soul of someone he must identify on his own. If that weren't enough, his old boss Matthias wants Jim to assassinate an AWOL member of The Firm - Isaac, the man Jim is pretty sure he is supposed to save. Jim knows first hand that once you're in The Firm, there's no getting out. But when Jim finds Isaac to warn him, he has been picked up by the police for illegal street fighting, and it is clear that Isaac is falling for his gorgeous public defender. Is their love the redemption that will save Isaac's soul? Or has the demon Devina set an elaborate trap?

It took me awhile to get into, but eventually I got hooked. Jim is trying to save Isaac, someone he knows from his past. Isaac, another tortured hero is in jail and falls for his DA, Grier. Of course you knew how it was going to end between those two, but the biggest question was, would Jim be able to save Isaac's soul, so he wins from Devina again.

I wasn't really able to connect with Jim in this book, although I did love Dog. The one who I'm most intrigued by, is actually Adrian. I want to know and read more about him. Maybe in one of the next books? Some parts of the book were a bit too long, but the surprising twist near the ending made sure I just had to keep reading. Oh and by the way, a corpse sending a text message? That was super creepy.

I hate comparing books from the same writer that basically have nothing to do with each other, but for BDB fans: I've found that this series is much darker and has less humor. If you just finished one of the BDB books, don't read this right after, because your expectations are going to be too high. 

Review: Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad

Jane Roberts was the average girl next door until she and her best friend, Scarlett Harp, landed their own hit reality show, L.A. Candy. But life on camera is getting complicated. . . .When racy photos of Jane are leaked to the press, she becomes the center of a tabloid scandal. She turns to costar Madison Parker for help, but does Madison really have Jane's back?

Scarlett's got a scandal of her own. She's fallen for a guy who's strictly off-limits--which means Scarlett has a big secret to keep. But nothing stays secret for long in Hollywood.In television star Lauren Conrad's dishy, entertaining novel about young Hollywood, the lies are only as sweet as the people telling them.

It's an okay story but nothing special. I feel like the book was too long, even though it only has 336 pages. There aren't that many exciting things happening. And it's crazy predictable.

The fact that Jane could only see the good in Madison and Jesse really annoyed me. How can someone be so dense?

I liked Scarlett the most in this book and I was definitely rooting for her and Liam. But with an ending like this, I can see a love triangle in the future for both Jane and Scarlett. That would be too much, but who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

I'm giving it 3 stars, because it's a cute story but not that great. Maybe it's more interesting for people who are a few years younger than me.

Filling Up The Weekend (7)

Don't know what to read? Here are some tips from me, so you'll survive the weekend without dying of boredom.

Young Adult: Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this book by accident at the bookstore. It's an amazing and very original story, but also quite complicated. You definitely need to pay attention while reading this book.

Women's Fiction: Night Road by Kristin Hannah

I'm going to keep recommending this book to you all, until everybody read it. That's right, I loved it thát much! It's an heartbreaking and incredibly beautiful book.

New Adult: Elite (Eagle Elite #1) by Rachel van Dyken

I've already mentioned Rachel van Dyken a few times on my blog. I read two of her books so far and loved them both. Elite is an awesome and addictive book.

Young Adult: Starcrossed (Starcrossed #1) by Josephine Angelini

Oh my god, this book is so great! I finished it within a day and went straight to the store the next day to buy the second book. Finished that one within a day too and went to the store again the next day for the last book. I'm going to try to go slow on that one because I don't want the series to end.

Results of the First Dutch Read-a-thon

As many of you might know, last week was the first Dutch Read-a-thon organised by Joany from Craving Pages. Sometimes, when visiting English blogs I read something about read-a-thons but I never actually participated in them. So this wasn't just The Netherlands' first read-a-thon, but also mine. Unfortunately, I had to work five days that week, four of them during the read-a-thon so I couldn't read all day. But during my spare time I made sure to spend as much time as I could with my books. So here are my personal results of the read-a-thon:

- I've read 5,23 books, one each day, from Monday 'till Friday and 23% of a book on saturday morning.
- I've read 1963 pages.
- I've read three Young Adults, one Woman's Fiction and one New Adult. 
- I only gave one book 5 stars; the dutch version of Night Road by Kristin Hannah
- I gave the lowest rating (3 stars) to For You by Mimi strong

Now, I know I'm not the one who read the most book during the read-a-thon, but I'm very satisfied with my results. I'm happy I participated and I'm already looking forward to the next read-a-thon. Before last week I let other things get in the way of reading, but the read-a-thon gave me back my rhythm and my books are getting my full attention again!

Books read during the read-a-thon:

- Zomernacht by Kristin Hannah (Dutch version of Night Road)
- De Klauwen van het Woud by Carrie Ryan (Dutch version of The Forest of Hands and Teeth #1)
- For You by Mimi Strong
- The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern
- Starcrossed (#1) by Josephine Angelini
- 23% of Seducing Cinderella (Fighting For Love #1) by Gina L. Maxwell


To everyone who participated, what are your results? And are you happy with those results?

My Wishlist Wednesday (14)

It's been a while since I worked with a theme in MWW, so this week I've decided to show you what stand alone books are on my wishlist. And I have to be honest, it wasn't easy to find four stand alone books. I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the books I read are part of a series. But, my wishlist is só ridiculously long, of course I found a few stand alone books!

Chick lit: About a Girl by Lindsey Kelk
The cover of this book looks so cute and pretty that I don't even have to know what the book is about. I want it on my shelves.

Young Adult: Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This books sounds a teeny tiny bit like Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, and that book was seriously amazing, so I'm hoping this will be equally good. But it's written by Jennifer L. Armentrout, so I'm not worried.

Chick lit: The Ingredients of Love by Nicolas Barreau
This book sounds very intriguing. A woman comes across a book that's about her. She tries to find the writer but will she actually find him? And it's in Paris, the city of love. Should be the perfect setting.

New Adult: Ruin by Rachel van Dyken
I honestly have no idea what this book is about, because there is no description on Goodreads, but when the author is Rachel van Dyken, I have no doubt it will be an awesome book.

Review: Stardust by Mimi Strong

Title: Stardust (Peaches Monroe #1)

Genre: New Adult
First Published: June 2013

There I was, minding my own business at Peachtree Books when this lunatic comes racing in the door and knocks me into his arms. I would have ripped him a new one, but he was hot. Like I-want-to-have-your-babies-now hot.

I feel like I know him, because I stare at his gorgeous face on TV every week. Dalton Deangelo. In the firm, sculpted flesh. Have I mentioned how hot he is? My panties practically flew right off.

Now he wants to get to know me. I can't say no to that face ... or those captivating green eyes.

I'm just a regular girl, and he's rich and famous with no body fat. So, why is he chasing me? And what is this secret of his the reporters are trying to uncover?

I try to keep my eyes wide open. I've made terrible, stupid mistakes in the past. But Dalton Deangelo's touch turns me to Jell-O.

Stardust started off strong. There was a quote on the first page that cracked me up and made me like the book instantly. What followed was a lot more hilarity and I loved it. Peaches Monroe isn't your typical size zero, pretty girl. Oh she's pretty, but she has curves. Lots of them. That's why it's so hard for her to understand that Dalton really likes her, but he won't leave her alone and she can't resist him. That's the start of a hot and steamy relationship. The thing is, Dalton is an actor, and once he finishes shooting a movie in Peaches' town, he'll be gone. Is there even any future for them?

I read this book with a constant grin on my face. Peaches isn't exactly shy and says whatever she's thinking. Because of this there were so many funny quotes in the book, if I had written them all down, I would basically have the whole book on my Favorite Quotes blogpost. 

There were two things that bothered me a teeny tiny bit. First, Dalton pretending to be the character he plays in the vampire TV show. Peaches liked it, but I thought it was kind of silly. Wouldn't you rather get to know his true personality? Second, even though it was hilarious most of the time, in the end all of the different words Peaches could think of, to call a 'vagina' got a little bit annoying. But despite those two little things, I still really enjoyed this book. And I definitely recommend it to all the romance lovers out there.

Filling Up The Weekend (6)

It's been awhile since the last edition of Filling Up The Weekend, I had a few other fun blog posts on friday, but now I'm finally back with some tips for you all to read this weekend.

Young Adult: Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) by Jennifer Estep
If you love Greek and Norse mythology, then you should definitely read this series. But be warned, it's highly addictive! For me it was impossible to stop reading after I finished the first book.

Chick lit/Young Adult: The Look by Sophia Bennett
This book is funny, entertaining and I love the message it sends to all the readers. Everyone who has ever dreamed of a modeling career, especially you girls should read The Look.

Chick lit: Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
I have to be honest with you, I haven't read this one yet. But come on, it's a stand alone Sophie Kinsella. You know it's going to be good. 

Paranormal Romance: Succubus Blues (Georgina Kincaid #1) by Richelle Mead
This series is very underappreciated. That's why I'm asking you all to please read it. Georgina Kincaid is one of my favorite female book characters. She's a real badass and you're definitely going to like her. 

My Wishlist Wednesday (13)

So, it's still July, which means it's still Sequel Month. Which means, this Wishlist Wednesday is going to be filled with sequels. Keep reading if you want to know which sequels are high on my wishlist.

Paranormal Romance: The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) by J.R. Ward
If you're a fan of Paranormal Romance and you haven't read the BDB series yet, shame on you! These books are seriously awesome. All those badass vampires.. Sigh!

Young Adult: The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines #4) by Richelle Mead
Bloodlines is a great spin off from the Vampire Academy series. I was always fond of Adrian and I'm happy he's found someone he likes more than Rose. He deserves happiness, and I'm anxious to see if he's finally going to get it in this book!

Young Adult: Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5) by Jennifer Estep
I've read the first four books right after eachother. It only took me a few days to read them because they were so addictive. Can hardly wait to get my hands on the fifth book!

Young Adult: Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Lux is the best series I've read so far this year. I don't even remember who was responsible for me buying Obsidian, but whoever it was, THANK YOU!!
