Available as Paperback and Kindle edition Buy it here Published by Entangled publishing, November '11 bookshelves:  book-boyfriends ,  to-be-reviewed ,  best-of-ya   “If I had the ability to touch anyone else in this world, I still don't believe I'd want it to be anyone but you.”  I 'm not entirely sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this . Most of all, I did not expect it to be so full of action and plot twists. I could hardly catch my breath. What a nice surprise. The story:  Meet Deznee Cross, cocky seventeen year old self proclaimed adrenaline junkie. She lives her life seizing every opportunity she can find to piss off her dad, wether it's by staying out until the early hours of the morning, getting bad grades in school or hanging out wi...

The secret of Ella & Micha BY J. Sorensen

The Secret of Ella & Micha (The Secret #1) Genre: YA, Contemporary romance, coming of age,  Written by: Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback and Kindle edition  Published: October 2nd '12  Buy it here :  ''Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance and I figured i'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.”  Just after a couple of pages in, I had a feeling I'd enjoy the book, Jessica's writing style is so sweet, it's hard not to fall in love with her characters.   It didn't feel like she was trying too hard to appeal to certain audiences, her words just flowed naturally and nothing felt forced or too much. And isn't it always a little frustrating  when you come across an author who tries too hard to sound 'young and hip' and  all want to do is give 'em a stern glare, pat their back and tell them that no-one talks like that.  Seriou...

Now as you see by the rating alone, this one's quite high up there, especially because I hardly tend to rate anything higher than 3, even if I really enjoyed it. Usually my motto is, '3's plenty, no need to get rating happy! I've just seen a lot of people rating all of their previously read books above 4 and 5, completely throwing all caution to th...

The Fallen Star (The Fallen Star #1) BY Jessica Sorensen

The Fallen Star  Genre: YA, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy  Written by: #1 NYT best selling author Jessica Sorensen Available as Paperback or ebook Buy it here :  Published by: Creative Space in August '11 ISBN: 1461052149 Well this is one is gonna be a tough one to write, but here we go! Usually, Jessica's books are pretty high up on my list of YA favourites,  her books are sweet and usually highly entertaining, however... it saddens me to say, that I don't think 'The fallen star' is gonna make the cut. The story started out sweet and mysterious enough, and I was ready to throw myself into a new paranormal romance series.  Social outcast and protagonist Gemma walks through life unable to feel any kind of emotion, she's hollow and completely numb to anything going on around her..her family is a little on the odd side and to top it all off she seems to be on the verge of losing her sanity. That is,  unt...
