<p><b>REVIEW:</b></p>
<p>When I first started reading this book the first line jumped out at me. It was as if the words were spoken to me in my ear as a form of poetry. I don't know where to begin--i haven't wanted to read anymore vampire book because I have read a lot and I haven't gotten one to stick in my mind. This one grabbed hold of me and didn't let me go till I was done with it at four in the morning! It still had me wanting more when I finish, even though I had the second book I had to think about it, lack of sleep or read at least a couple chapters. Can you guess what I did--if you guess the latter you are right! This book is fabulous it had me so engaged I felt like I was in her world.

And I absolutely loved their names, Braden, Torin, Cian, and my favorite Teagan!  I loved them. I have an odd fascination with unique names. I also loved the whole soul mate twist, its called fate-partner I believe. A lot of people might find this cheesy but i do believe in love at first bite--i mean sight and I believe we all have a soul mate!

Oh and did I mention this story has werewolves too! I always fall for the unread, but werewolves can also be quite steamy LOL;)

I give this book five***** stars fabulous story telling. And I just love a story that makes me feel poetic! And I love the cover is very dark and inviting!

Blog tour Flutter by Melissa Andrea





Thank you Melissa for letting me be apart of the Flutter blog tour. <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="br">

SARA
Sara's life is forever changed- Waking up, buried & hidden deeply in the last place anyone want to be, will do that. He is determined to find out how she ended up there & why, but when the only person who can help her, continuously lies to her, she finds herself forced to suffer alone. She can't ignore the strange things that begin to happen to her nor can she hide from the nightmares that haunt her sleep. And when her world collides with Adan-the mysterious boy who she can't seem to stay away from, literally-she is consumed by the flutter that sparks whenever he is around and she is desperate to discover the reason why.

ADAN
 Adan's mission to find Sara has finally begun- it seems simple: bring her back to the encanted world that lives, breathes and survives because of her, but he quickly find himself faced with an entirely new challenge. Immediately Adan realize that staying unknown to Sara is a task he will fail before he even begins; the pull to her is far to strong to refuse, and being with her will defy the very reason he existed. He was the key to her survival and loving her was not part of the path that he had been born to follow. Can he find it in himself to resist the urge to be with her and follow through with their destiny or will he destroy everything that had been left to Sara to protect and defend- And the kingdom she is unaware she rules......

Flutter: As Sara and Adan struggle to overcome their own separate battles- There is far more determined evil that is stalking the shadows and waiting to annihilate them both. Sara will figure out that not everything is not what it seems and knowing what she can and can not trust will be the key to finding out the truth about what happened to her, the reason why she was buried alive and who she really is... Sara and Adan will discover why she was the reason he existed and why he would be the reason she survived and together they will fight to change the rules and rewrite their fate. Discover the meaning, Discover the secret, Discover,

MELISSA ANDREA
 
I find it hard to see sum up my life in a paragraph, but I'll try. Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing. Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter will be my debute you release, and I couldn't be more excited about it. The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter's will always be my greatest accomplishment. I was born in Denver, Colorado - but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don't have a big family, but I'm close to my sisters, brother, and my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by. 4 things you should know about me: I'm very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I love the color pink, I love things that sparkle (including vampires) and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5).

SYNPOSIS:

A marriage in name only with certain rules: Avoid antanglement, keep things business. For not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year so the rules shouldn't be to hard to follow, right?

Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans....

REVIEW:

This book is a good love story, but now that I think of it it wasn't all that memorable. I just remember her casting a love spell, and Nick being a complete douche all the time. Like he wasn't even bad boy douchie? He was I'm a prick, look at me, look at me! I hate people like him so full of themselves, blah. Even the ending wasn't worth him being.....him. sorry I cussed to much already. There were times my mouth hung open like WOW! Did he really just say or do that? One word come to mind when I think of Nick--castration! The authors writting was fine, I did have fun reading this book. But my dislike for the character left a foul taste in my mouth.

I give this three *** stars. I just couldn't like his character at all even in the end. But this is my opinion don't let it stop you from reading it.

REVIEW:

I loved this book, I loved this series, and I can't wait to find out who Tessa ends up with. Even though I know it will be Will. Clockwork prince was exciting, and had me on the edge of my seat. Expecially when they went to the ball, and then the balcony scene.*yummy* I can't think of anything I didn't like in this books, they made perfect sense to me. I have hear others complain about it dragging, or not making much sense to them. But I eat it all up, and fell in love with Will, if Tessa doesn't want him can I have him--please? LOL kidding, kinda!
I didn't like how Tessa was playing sides with both boys, she came off as greedy. Then her brother, WTH I still hate him. All in all this book was worth it Cassandra Clare's writing is like poetry to me. She is brilliant.

I give this book five ***** stars! It a fantastic read with, love, betrayal, adventure, and even humor!

The D.U.F.F by, Kody Keplinger

SYNPOSIS:

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she is the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She is also way to smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact,Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "the duff" she throws her coke in his face.

But things aren't so great at home right now, and Bianca is desperate for a distraction. She end up kissing Wesley. Worse, she likes it. Eager for escape, Bianca throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benifits relationship with him.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty sweet up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for The guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

REVIEW:

This book was great, but I do understand why some have ill feeling toward this book. A girl falling for a Guy that treats her like poop. But this is how I feel if this girl knew what she was getting into--then its on her,she let him call her that. I loved this book because Bianca was strong even when she had worst issues then being called the duff. The writing was good, the author touched on real life altering issues. I know I am the duff out of my friends they are all beautiful, do I can feel on that level. And I'm not saying I'm not beautiful, it just took me longer to figure out I was pretty to me so that's what mattered.

CHARACTERS:

Bianca- Regardless of what people think,Bianca knew what she wanted. Even if it wasn't a healthy way to express these feeling of emotion. She always knew what she wanted. And the whole best friend being lied too, who wants to tell their friend,"Hey, I'm doing this Guy because I'm pittying myself and I need release!" Come on you don't introduce someone if you ain't serious.

Wesley- All men are assholes! That's just all I have to say, you just learn to deal with the one you got. He's young dumb and abandoned. He has no real parenting, poor kid. I blame his parents.

TO ALL WOMEN, STOP HAVING LOW SELF ASTEEM, MEN EAT THAT SHIT UP. LOVE YOU FOR YOU. FAT,SKINNY,SHORT,TALL, GLASSES,FRECKLES, OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO NOT LIKE. MINE WAS A BIG HEAD GROWING UP. WE AS WOMEN ARE GORGEOUS AS WE ARE, AND MEN CAN SENSE WHEN WE KNOW IT. I THOUGHT BIANCA WAS BEAUTIFUL, WE ALL HAVE A LITTLE DUFF IN US.


The Story of Jackson Haddock by,Shanora Williams

SYNPOSIS:
<c>Jackson Haddock was once a carefree individual that grew up as a poor child in Cedar Hill, Texas. His family was all that he had but when a man named Cody Walker interrupts his life, he realizes that things will only turn for the worst. Cody Walker has longed for Jackson's mother and her love. He had even made a deal with Jackson's father for her but Jackson's father refused. But what Jackson's father didn't know was that Cody Walker is a man that takes no rejections and when he arrives at Jackson's door step, he is there with a vengeance.

(Or the Cedar Hill Society for the Rich) Jackson's father wants him to find Cody Walker and kill him along with all of the other rich men that kill the poor people of Cedar Hill. And Jackson promises to do it for his family and his safety. After the news, he is forced to camp out on his own for weeks.

REVIEW: Shanora does it again! If you love a book that touches your heart, then this book is for you. Jackson is the guy every girl wants her boyfriend to be. His character was so true and passionate, I wanted to grab him and kiss him. There is not other love deeper then family, and if someone messes with family we do everything in our power to protect that. This book had love, action, and more then you can think of. If you haven't read this book you will want to. I love you Shanora because you have a way with words that is so moving. I am honored to call this fantastic author friend. Characters: Jackson: he is a boy who transformed beautifully into a man. Every girl would love a man like his. Confident, caring, loyal, and truthful. Kerrie and Jessie: I am sad how all of them came to be together, but I am joyed to know family is family no matter how they came into your life. They are his parents, the ones whovtook him in and cared for him. Five*****stars!

Haunted Moon by, K.B. Miller

(So sorry this was suppose to be yesterday and I suck, No excuse I was out of it cause I have been sick so long!:/)

Synposis:

Before Lilyann stepped into her destiny to lead the coven, there was another powerful moon witch....her grandmother.

A teenage witch-to-be in Galway, Ireland, Leeny Moon was prepared to take her rightful place in the circle along side of her family. That was until she witnessed firsthand the forthcoming nightmares she would be expected to face, vampires.

Thw fight between good versus evil begins here...

Blessed be~

Review:

This book was a novella, short and sweet. I don't usually like reading novellas, I want something long and thoughtful. I loved this short story though, it was amazing! It left me wanting to know what was going to happen next. There are some stories you ask yourself why would you read it, this was not that story. This story was lovely,I loved how vampires are evil again, like the blood suckers they were meant to be. It teaches you that there is a wrong and a right, monsters weren't meant to be lovely and sparkling.

I give this book four****stars! I loved it and wanted more.

Characters:

*Leeny-This story was short and sweet and it left me wanting to get to know these characters more--Leeny mainly. She seems like she has all the ablilty be be a badass-vampire-hunter like her mother.

The Secret of Ella &Micha by, Jessica Sorensen

Synposis:

Ella and Micha have been best friends since they were kids. But one tragic night shatters their friendship and their lifes forever.

Ella use to be a rule-breaker with fiery attitude who wore her heart on her sleeves. But she left everything behind when she when to college and transformed into someone that follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. But now its summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home.

Ella fears everything she worked so hard to to bury might resurface, especially with Micha living right next door. If Micha tries to tempt the old her back, she knows it will be hard to resist.

Micha is sexy, smart, confident, and can get under Ella's skin like no one else can. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. And he's determined to bring his best friend, and the girl he loves back, no matter what it takes.

(New Adult Contemporary)
*Mature Content** Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations and language.

Review:

I was so super excited to read this book, I have several of Jessica's books that I have purchased, but have not got to them yet due to reviews. But as luck has it I have scored this ARC!
This book was wonderfully delicious, it had me swooning and cheering for Micha to win Ella over. I am a romantic by nature, ask my husband. Jessica has a way with words that puts you in the book seeing it through your eyes. The issues that the characters were struggling with in this book I could relate to and I'm sure others will be able to also.
I also loved how it ended, it was every realistic and not unfathomable. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I defendantly will be re-reading it.

I give this book five*****stars it had me engaged and fascinated. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves a truly amazing love story.

Characters:

*Ella- First, I have to say I love how they say Ella May when things are serious lol. My mom calls me by both of my names when I make her mad. Ella was confused a lot, and she needed someone to help her through difficult times, her problem was she ran away from him.

*Micha-Where can I find me a hot fictional character who is intune with his emotions? And understanding of yours? Nowhere, blah! Micha is the hottie Bff of Ella and more if she wants it.

(I don't want to give a lot away, but I hated Ella's brother with a passion! I really wanted Micha to beat him up. With that being said that is my rant, even though I wouldn't change it because every book needs a villian :))
