YA Review - The Sound by Sarah Alderson

The Sound by Sarah Alderson

Goodreads Blurb: 

When aspiring music journalist Ren Kingston takes a job nannying for a wealthy family on the exclusive island of Nantucket, playground for Boston's elite, she's hoping for a low-key summer reading books and blogging about bands. Boys are firmly off the agenda.

What she doesn't count on is falling in with a bunch of party-loving private school kids who are hiding some dark secrets, falling (possibly) in love with the local bad boy, and falling out with a dangerous serial killer...

The gripping new stand-alone novel from the author of Hunting Lila. 

My Review: 

Loved it! I was a bit skeptical when I first started reading it. I'm not a real big fan of thrillers, which is what I thought the novel was going to be about when I read the prologue. But as I kept reading it, it kept getting more interesting and intriguing that I just couldn't put it down.

The characters are charming, different and relate-able to what you'd expect them to be, but with their own personality and quirks.

Our main girl, Ren, is down to earth, funny, lovable and sarcastic. But she also shows her soft side and she'll stick up for the people she cares about.

Jesse Miller, is not your typical guy. With everyone thinking his some sort of a psycho murderous guy, it's kind of a contradiction when we're meeting him in the eyes of Ren. His nothing like what everyone says he is. He's sweet, charming, flirty, protective, plays the guitar and is just insanely HOT! I also love how each meeting Ren has with Jesse, we get a chance to know him some more, which is why I fell for him more and more each time, that I kept looking forward to his scenes. Which just adds to the novels mystery about what is really going on in the small town. 

And of course add in the fact that there is a serial killer on the loose, someone I never predicted and just added to my surprise (the good kind. Not that the serial killer is good, but you know what I mean ;)) With so many surprises in the novel, I feel like Sarah didn't really explain why the serial killer started killing all those nannies, that much. I feel like she should have elaborated some more on that.

But all in all, this novel has got it all: romance, hilarious moments, suspense, mystery, surprises, drama and Sarah Alderson's trademark all rolled in one. If you haven't read it yet, than what are you waiting for?! It's a stand alone novel that will keep you up all night till you've read every last page. Yes it's that addictive! You've been warned ;-)

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Asher St Paul thought it was just a typical zombie apocalypse like in the movies, until the necromancers crawled out of the woodwork. Since the undead have chased the living into hiding, the necromancers are able to roam freely in a new America of their making. Asher is seeking safe harbor. The need for safety is what drove him from his home in Philadelphia Pennsylvania before it was shelled. He has searched from quarantine to quarantine, always finding them overrun with zombies until he hears of The Refuge, a military compound in Binghamton New York. 

With his family and lover lain to rest by his own hand, he has nothing left to lose and gives everything he has to reach the safe haven. But questions arise when he reaches The Refuge, mainly, how has he been able to sustain multiple zombie bites and not change? He thinks he has found safety in the military compound turned quarantine, but he was wrong. Even now there is a necromancer trying to make The Refuge their kingdom of the dead

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I have always been a do-it-yourselfer. I haven’t had any formal education on writing, and I haven’t been raised around writer types. For that matter, I wasn’t even encouraged to read when I was a kid, even though plenty of people in my family read. When I was a teenager, I discovered Cliff’s Notes on Mythology, and it sparked something in me. It was like a floodgate had been opened, and all of these stories started rushing in. I would get ideas at random times, and I would jot them down. I have a pretty big file system of everything I have ever written. Someday I will get to them and put them all into electronic files. There is some good material in there, but there are a lot of bad stories too.

I started writing when I was thirteen or fourteen. At an early age I was already writing books of Saracin (the world The Bonds of Blood takes place in). The first book I wrote of that place was “The Calling of the Two” (not yet released). While I was writing that, I kept thinking of these characters Jovian and Angelica. I knew they had a part to play in the storyline, but they weren’t going to be in the same series. For that matter, they weren’t even going to be in the same age. As I finished the first draft of “The Calling of the Two” I went on to write the first book of Angelica and Jovian’s story. At that time it was The Mirror of the Moon. Later an editor told me it was so massive that I should make the one volume into two, and so The Bonds of Blood was born, and The Revenant Wyrd Saga went from a planned three to six.

That story has taken many forms until now, and I am sure if I didn’t declare that it was “done” it could continue to transform.

Along the way, I discovered my passion for research. I absolutely love researching. It would be nothing for me to sit for days on end, barely eating, just getting up to take care of necessities, and research really odd theories and stories. I get my ideas from them to be honest. Of course, my idea’s are never the main theme of the research I am doing, but it always seems to come from some obscure topic mentioned while I am researching. For instance one book I am outlining now is based on something I heard while watching Ancient Aliens.

Unlike most authors, I have not always loved reading and writing. I hated it until I was in 7th grade. My teacher wanted us to read the entire semester. We would read a book and write in a journal about it. Back then the teachers were allowed to spend more time on what their passions were, and actually foster something in their students, and she did just that. She made me love reading and writing. She told me to go to her book shelf and pick out a book that I was interested in. I found one of my first loves: David Eddings’ Pawn of Prophecy.

Back then I was in remedial reading, and my teacher (Mrs. Peters) would sit with me for the time I was in her classroom, taking turns reading the story out loud with me. We would read where the adventure was taking Garion, and then we would flip to the beginning and look at the map so we could follow them as well.

I think it was at that point, getting lost in a book I love to this day, that I knew I had to do this. I had to create the same magic for others that Mr. Eddings created for me.

At times it is boggling. I have three series of books started, and 2 more forming in my mind (and outlined on the computer). At this point I have to step back and finish the ones I have started before I can let myself move forward.

I feel that I am blessed in being able to write, and forging a life of my passion. It is tough at times, but that is what makes the payoff all the sweeter. The writing business is a huge adventure, trying to figure out what to do and what not to do; when to do things and when not to do anything. Currently I am planning the release of the second book to “The Bonds of Blood”. This is the first time I am armed with the knowledge of what I must do for a book release, and I finally understand why it nerves so many authors up, but it is that excitement that makes me love writing. Every time I hear a reader I don’t know praise my work, it makes my heart race and brightens my day.

Travis is the author of The Bonds of Blood, the first book in his epic fantasy series The Revenant Wyrd Saga. He has also written a young adult novel called A Lament of Moonlight which is book one of his pre-apocalypse series The Harbingers of Light. He is currently seeking publication for the first book of a third series, a zombie novel called Desolation. When he isn’t writing he is helping his family and trying to live a normal, under the radar life. His interests lie in cooking, gardening, green living, and human rights advocacy. He is a huge supporter of the Trevor Project and all agencies that seek to preserve natural resources and protect pets from abuse.”

Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear READ-ALONG Information

In honour of Charmed Vengeance releasing in about six weeks(August 8th 2013)! Suzanne Lazear is hosting a read-along of INNOCENT DARKNESS! Who's excited?! :D

So what’s a read-along, you ask?

Well here's what Ms Lazear has to say: A read-along gives you a chance to re-read (or read for the first time) a book before the sequel comes out. It also gives you a chance to discuss it with other people, chat with me, learn strange facts and behind the scenes things, and win prizes.

Every week, starting JULY 1st, we’ll read a certain number of chapters. I’ll post the week’s chapter “assignments” on Mondays. I’ll even read some of my favorite parts out loud for you. There will be a place for you to comment and chat, on my blog (where you can win prizes). There will also be twitter chats on Fridays at 1 pm PST/4 pm EST #IDreadalong where you can ask me questions, talk about it, and win more prizes. Feel free to use #IDreadalong to chat about it during the week, too!

You don't have to have read the book before, in fact, if you haven't read INNOCENT DARKNESS yet, but have been meaning to, this is the perfect chance. We only read 7-8 chapters a week, so it won't be too overwhelming. 

You don’t need to register, however, people who do register, and participate, will be eligible to win Special Prizes– signed and annotated copies of both INNOCENT DARKNESS and CHARMED VENGEANCE, and a CHARMED VENEANCE Sleepover/Bookclub kit!

Review: Sweet Peril (The Sweet Trilogy #2) by Wendy Higgins

Sweet Peril (The Sweet Trilogy #2) by Wendy Higgins

Goodreads Blurb: 

Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things. 

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

My Review: 

My Review on Goodreads.

5 Stars!

Okay, so I fell in love with the first book just like everyone else out there. And when I found out there was a book 2, I had big BIG expectations for this one. And let me tell you, this book totally met that expectation and more! 

It had everything that I fell in love with in the first novel but with so much more drama, humor, romance and that Wendy Higgins touch. 

This time our favourite leading lady Anna isn't just roaming the United States, she's going around the world to gather some more friends. ;) 

I love how Wendy doesn't just continue the novel from book 1, but that, she also adds a whole new unique adventure that we never expected. Wendy also adds that suspense and drama hat makes the novel much more interesting and captivating.

Even though we didn't really get more Kai action than I hope too, we got to know Kope a whole lot more. We got to see what a kind, caring and a truly great guy he is. His the type you know will always be there for you and will always have your back no matter what. But when Anna and Kaidan finally do get together or even have those little moments, it's like a mega explosion you knew was gonna happen, but when it does, your still left thinking..."whoa how the heck did that happen?!" And everytime that happens, it reminds me why I am on #TEAMKAIDAN! Talk about a major Swoon!!! 

As the group makes new alliances and enters on a whole new journey, with that heartfelt ending, I feel like it's all leading to one big explosive ending in book 3 for which I'm super excited that Anna and Kai are going to be there for each other.  I mean how could you not be! :)

So if you lovely readers out there, loved book 1? You won't be disappointed in book 2!

Review: Apollyon (Covenant #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Apollyon (Covenant #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Goodreads Blurb: 

Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

My Review: 

My Review on Goodreads.

4.5 Stars

Spoilers included! Read at your own risk! ;-)

Okay uhmm...WOW! where do I even begin to convince you all how amazing this book is. 

The story starts where Elixir left off (so make sure ya'll read that before reading Apollyon) at first I was kind of skeptic that the whole book will be based with Alex still sitting in a cell. Which is why I was instantly over-joyed that she finally gets a chance to escape and not just in a "oh look a key and just walk out" way, but in a totally spontanous, hilarious and kick-ass way that ends with a consequence you never thought would happen so early on in the book but totally love. 

There was a million things I loved in the story, but the most one would be the development we witness from half-blood to now and how much our favourite characters have changed as the truth slowly reveals itself. I also love how in the midst of all this Apollyon disaster Aiden and Alex are still standing strong and can still find love in between this crazy war. 

We definitely see a different side to Aiden as he doesn't care that everyone know's he's in love with Alex, infact I think he likes it that everyone knows. It's such a sweet and affectionate side that it makes us readers forget about that whole half-blood/pure relationship is against the rules thing and makes us wish that we had our own Aiden.
He's so devoted to Alex and his brother Deacon that he'll do anything for them. "Aiden slid an arm around my shoulders and tipped me toward him. Right in front of the entire room full of halfs, pures and a god, he kissed my temple" 

We also see a more emotional Alex but still with her awesome kick-ass part. As the pressure to keep the people she loves starts to take it's toll, Alex shows an unremarkable strength even when she figures out what Apollo really wants her to do.

Armentrout revealed that Alex's dad was still alive in Deity but I'm disappointed to see that we still don't get to meet him in this book, but maybe in the last one, which I personally think won't be enough time for us readers to get to know him much...

The most shocking part in the novel to me was the revealation of the god behind Lucian's and Seth's master plan. It's someone we never expected it to be which is why it made such a shocking impact on me. Even though I figured out who the God is when she was in the underworld, the character it's been portraying the whole time throughout the series was definitely unexpected, so kudos to you Jen! ;) 

One of the things I also am glad to see in each book is the scenery and how it's always different in each book. From the School in Deity Island to the New York Covenant, to the St Delphi's house and now to the Underworld. It definitely keeps the dullness away ;-)Especially as Alex and Aiden travel to the underworld....alone... ;-D talk about a major swoonage! *fans self*

This book has all of JLA's trademark from it's usual hilarious smart-ass comments, heart-stopping action, heart-felt drama and the swoon-worthy relationship between the main characters. This is a MAJOR must read! as it all leads up to one mighty, exciting finale which I can't wait to get my hands on of Sentinel due out in December!!!

And with an ending like this: "Asclepius face blurred into a severe frown. "There's something else here..." It definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat about what will happen in the next book. :)
