True Review

So author of As You Wish and the upcoming Sisters Red, Jackson Pearce, has been hosting monthly contests until the release of Sisters Red. Each month they have been getting bigger and better and since Sisters Red is due out in 2 months, the prize package this month is pretty stellar. If you blog about her contest anywhere on the web, be it on blogger, livejournal, facebook (no twitter) you get entered to win an arc of Sisters Red, A mystery arc, A signed copy of As You Wish and mega Sisters Red swag/prizes. Now I was lucky enough to read Sisters Red through an arc tour and I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to get my hands on my own copy so I can read it again and then make everyone I know read it, because it is THAT good. For more details, check out Jackson Pearce's blog where Jackson along with the help of Spacedog give out all the details on how you can win. I obviously was late to the party because today is the last day to enter, so make sure you post soon!! :) Sh...

Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side By Beth Fantaskey Published Feburary 2009 Published By Harcourt Paperback, 372 Pages Purchased by me(Borders) Summary from Goodreads: "The undead can really screw up your senior year . . . Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancé. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war — and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction." My Review: ***** = 5 Stars I've always wan...

The Unwritten Rule By: Elizabeth Scott Publication Date March 16th 2010 Published By Simon Pulse 224 Pages, Hardcover (won from ChicaReader) Summary from goodreads: "Everyone knows the unwritten rule: You don't like your best friend's boyfriend. Sarah has had a crush on Ryan for years. He's easy to talk to, supersmart, and totally gets her. Lately it even seems like he's paying extra attention to her. Everything would be perfect except for two things: Ryan is Brianna's boyfriend, and Brianna is Sarah's best friend. Sarah forces herself to avoid Ryan and tries to convince herself not to like him. She feels so guilty for wanting him, and the last thing she wants is to hurt her best friend. But when she's thrown together with Ryan one night, something happens. It's wonderful...and awful. Sarah is torn apart by guilt, but what she feels is nothing short of addiction, and she can't stop herself from wanting more..." My Review: *** = 3 S...

For those of you that missed it, check out the trailer for The Absolulte Value of -1, Steve Brezenoff's young adult debut. Summary from goodreads: "Noah, Lily, and Simon have been a trio forever. But as they enter high school, their relationships shift and their world starts to fall apart. Privately, each is dealing with a family crisis—divorce, abuse, and a parent's illness. Yet as they try to escape the pain and reach out for the connections they once counted on, they slip—like soap in a shower. Noah’s got it bad for Lily, but he knows too well Lily sees only Simon. Simon is indifferent, suddenly inscrutable to his friends. All stand alone in their heartache and grief. In his luminous YA novel, Steve Brezenoff explores the changing value of relationships as the characters realize that the distances between them are far greater than they knew." To learn more about the book, which is to be released in September, check out Steve's blog for all things about...

Hey everyone! I was lucky enough to receive an arc a while back of The Ghost & The Goth. If you missed by review you can check it out here . Now I'm even luckier because I got to interview the wonderful author of TG&TG Stacey Kade! Not only is there an interview, but today I also get to share with you an excerpt from the prologue of TG&TG! Me : Hello Stacey, so glad to have you today! Stacey : Thanks, Sherry, for having me here! Me : Tell us a little bit about yourself? Stacey : Oh, I'm never good at this! How about five random facts instead of a coherent, witty answer? That I can do! 1) I'm a PK (pastor's kid) so I was always the new girl in school. We moved every three to four years. Not quite sure how I survived that! :) 2) I did not attend my senior prom (and I don't think it damaged me psychologically...at least, not much!) 3) One of my very best friends is my sister, who is thirteen years younger than I am. Not often you can say that about s...
