Hourglass

Series: Hourglass, Book One

By: Myra McEntire

Published: 14th June 2011

Published By: Egmontusa
Found: On Amazon

Synopsis From Goodreads:

One hour to rewrite the past . . .
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents’ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.

So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.

Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened.
Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.

This looks amazing; paranormal and sci-fi merged together sounds like perfection to me.

We all want to be remembered. Charlotte's destiny is to be Forgotten...
Charlotte’s best friend thinks Charlotte might be psychic. Her boyfriend thinks she’s cheating on him. But Charlotte knows what’s really wrong: She is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth, who feels the Need—a powerful, uncontrollable draw to help someone, usually a stranger.
But Charlotte never wanted this responsibility. What she wants is to help her best friend, whose life is spiraling out of control. She wants to lie in her boyfriend's arms forever. But as the Need grows stronger, it begins to take a dangerous toll on Charlotte. And who she was, is, and will become--her mark on this earth, her very existence--is in jeopardy of disappearing completely.
Charlotte will be forced to choose: Should she embrace her fate as a Forgotten, a fate that promises to rip her from the lives of those she loves forever? Or is she willing to fight against her destiny--no matter how dark the consequences.

People have been saying they cried!  I have to get this book!

Found: On Amazon (Gotta Love Amazon)

Synopsis From Goodreads:

The stranger’s cloak had fallen back, and with it, a long, white, blood-stained wing.
When Melaia, a young priestess, witnesses the gruesome murder of a stranger in the temple courtyard, age-old legends recited in song suddenly come to life. She discovers wings on the stranger, and the murderer takes the shape of both a hawk and a man.
Angels. Shape-shifters. Myths and stories—until now.
Melaia finds herself in the middle of a blood feud between two immortal brothers who destroyed the stairway to heaven, stranding angels in the earthly realm. When the feud turns violent and Melaia becomes a target, she finds refuge with a band of angels attempting to restore the stairway. But the restoration is impossible without the repayment of an ancient debt—the “breath of angel, blood of man,” a payment that involves Melaia’s heart, soul, and destiny.

Life hasn't been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Conner, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she's irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.

But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can't stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma's been having the oddest dreams: visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.

Published By: Dutton Books
Found: On Amazon

Synopsis From Goodreads:

As reality slips and time stands still, Consuela finds herself thrust into the world of the Flow. Removed from all she loves into this shifting world overlapping our own, Consuela quickly discovers she has the power to step out of her earthly skin and cloak herself in new ones-skins made from the world around her, crafted from water, fire, air. She is joined by other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard a world they can affect, but where they no longer belong. Wow, sounds very good!  :)

When murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and elusive, attractive V to stop the killer. But the psychopath who threatens her new world may also hold the only key to Consuela's way home.

But Ruby will do anything to get her sister back, and when Chloe returns to town two years later, deadly surprises await. As Chloe flirts with the truth that Ruby has hidden deeply away, the fragile line between life and death is redrawn by the complex bonds of sisterhood.

With palpable drama and delicious craft, Nova Ren Suma bursts onto the YA scene with the story that everyone will be talking about.

From The Game of Pawns by Leonard D. Hilley II, Chapter Eight

As blood seeped from the side of his head, his killer dropped a chess piece on his chest.
A black pawn.
A smooth, laser-carved number was printed on the bottom.
Number 1.

The Game of Pawns (The Darkness, Book Three) by Leonard D. Hilley II

Synopsis From Goodreads:

PAWNS ARE EXPENDABLE . . .
"Beyond the Darkness is a thrill ride you don't want to end. It will have you laughing, crying, and on the edge of your seat until the very end!" Nicole Hicks--HowlingGoodBooks.com.
Twelve execution-style murders have occurred in Newark, New Jersey, in less than a week. Each murder has a calling card - a red pawn on each corpse. Kat Gaddis and Lucian investigate the homicides and discover the last four victims were employed by GenTech, a company that recently merged with Mech Cybernetics. After FBI director Mike Carpenter shares evidence with Kat, they soon discover political ties and corruptions that place Kat's life in direct danger. New players emerge and what seems like serial murders suddenly becomes a struggle for biotech knowledge and power. Kat is thrust into their game - The Game of Pawns.

I love this series!  Sci-fi meets thriller meets crime drama.  I can't believe this is the last book (to my knowledge, anyway)! 

From The Boy Who Loved Bach by T.L. Peters

My real name was Edward P. Studt, which I knew wasn't the greatest name in the world, but it sure beat Pug-face, or Mr. Brainiac too for that matter.  I couldn't help it that I was born with a nose that was a little on the flat side and a mind perfectly suited to the retention of useless academic information.

The Boy Who Loved Bach by T.L. Peters

Synopsis From Goodreads:

THE BOY WHO LOVED BACH is about a ninth grader at the top of his class trying out for the football team who just can't seem to remember the plays, much to the consternation and bewilderment of his coach and teammates, not to mention his girlfriend, all of which makes him miserable. But when Ed picks up the violin at the urging of his mother and learns to play Bach, his perspective changes.

I love Ed!  He reminds me rather alarmingly of myself, minus the American football, of course.  Just the "retention of useless academic infomation" slightly misunderstood part.  And I'm loving the book, so thank you T.L. Peters!  :)

From Dancing Jax by Robin Jarvis, Chapter Eight, Page 116

Shiela could not comprehend what had happened that night.  But she knew they ha all taken a step towards something sinister and final and there was no going back.

Dancing Jax by Robin Jarvis

Synopsis From Blurb:

"Some books are harmful, even dangerous.  They should be banned or destroyed.  This is a story about one of them, written by one of the most evil men ever to have lived..."

In a coastal town, a strange, out-of-print book is found, full of colourfull stories of castles, knights and unicorns.  But the book is no fairytale.  Written by Austerly Fellows, a mysterious turn-of-the-century occultist, it is no mere entertainment.  In fact, those who start it find that they just can't put in down, no matter how much they may want to.

It's a pageturner... it keeps you awake at night.  And it never, ever lets you go.

I'm lovin' this book so far.  It's wonderfully creepy.  Gotta love the wonderfully creepy.

From The Iron King by Julie Kagawa, Chapter Three, Page 49

My mother lay on her back on the checkered tile floor, arms and legs flung akimbo, one side of her face covered in glistening crimson.  Her purse, its contents scattered everywhere, lay beside one limp white hand.  Standing over her in the doorway, head cocked to one side like a curious cat, was Ethan.

And he was smiling.

The Iron King (The Iron Fey, Book One) by Julie Kagawa

Synopsis From Blurb:

"My name is Meghan Chase.

In less than twenty-four hours I'll be sixteen.  Countless stories and songs have been written about this wonderlful age, when a girl finds true love and the stars shine for her...

I don't think it will be that way for me."

Meghan Chase has a secret destiny - one she could never have imagined...

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six.  She has never quite fitted in at school... or at home.

When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar and her little brother is taken, Megham senses that everything she's known is about to change.

She could never have guessed the truth.  Meghan is the daughter of a faery king and a pawn in a deadly war.  Now Meghan will have to choose between a normal life and her magical destiny - and between her best friend and a darkly dangerous prince.

It's time for Megham to enter the faery world...

I get what everyone's been talking about - finally!  I love this book!  And I've barely read 100 pages!

Yay, yay, yay!  I finally have Die For Me.  I can see what everyone's talking about.  It's right at the top of my TBR list!  (:

The Gathering (Darkness Rising, Book One) by Kelley Armstrong (Goodreads | Amazon)

I loved Armstrong's Darkest Powers, so I can't wait to see what this spin-off series is like!

Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson (Goodreads | Amazon)

Everything You Believe Is Wrong

This was on my Wanted list just a little while ago, so when I saw this on 3-for-2, I was over the moon!  (:  Plus, the blurb says:

"Once upon a time there was a girl who was special.
This is not her story.
Unless you count the part where I killed her."

Now, if that didn't interest me, I'd be very worried... (:The Poison Diaries (Poison Diaries, Book One) by Maryrose Wood, With the Duchess of Northcumberland (Goodreads | Amazon)

This looks good, and I just love the blurb:

"In the right dose, everything is a poison."

Synopsis From Goodreads:

Like most girls at Rosemound High School, seventeen-year-old Lily Crane is acutely aware of Ryder Kingscott. Hands down the cutest guy in school, Ryder is cool, mysterious, and utterly untouchable…especially for Lily. For when she touches someone, Lily instantly learns all about their lives. And while such a skill might seem nifty, in truth it is wrecking Lily’s life.
So she is shocked when Ryder asks her out — and even more shocked to discover he has a rival. Lucian Bell is the gorgeous new kid who can’t take his eyes off of Lily. Being pursued by two hotties should make a girl happy, but Lily is skeptical. The boys act as if they’ve met before, hating each other with a passion that could only be rooted in a dark, dangerous past. A past full of terrible secrets. The kind of secrets that could get a girl killed.

Published: 6th August 2009

Published By: The Friday Project

Found: On Amazon

Synopsis From Goodreads:

Conor thought he was an average teenager. Okay, so his father only had one hand, spoke to him in ancient languages, and was a bit on the eccentric side, but, other than that, life was fairly normal. Until, that is, two Celtic warriors on horseback and wearing full armor appear at his front door and try to kill him. Don't you hate when that happens? Join Conor as he grapples with typical teenage problems, like how to deal with a father's high expectations, how to survive in the world on your own, and how to woo a beautiful girl who wants you dead.

This was described as: "A Lord of the Rings for the 21st century. Only a lot shorter. And funnier. And completely different." by Amazon.  I love Lord of the Rings, but it was a little long.  So a short, funny, modern version sounds awesome! :)

Moonglass

By: Jessi Kirby

Published: 3rd May 2011

Published By: Simon & Schuster

Found: On Sammee (I Want to Read That)'s Blog

Synopsis From Goodreads:

This looks good!  I love the sound of it all.  Plus, isn't the cover pretty? (:

Well that's my very, very, very long list.  It's to make up for my not having a list last week.  :)

What are you wishing for?

From Jessi Kirby, a debut novel about confronting the past in order to move ahead. I read once that water is a symbol for emotions. And for a while now, I've thought maybe my mother drowned in both.
Anna's life is upended when her father accepts a job transfer the summer before her junior year. It's bad enough that she has to leave her friends and her life behind, but her dad is moving them to the beach where her parents first met and fell in love- a place awash in memories that Anna would just as soon leave under the surface.
While life on the beach is pretty great, with ocean views and one adorable lifeguard in particular, there are also family secrets that were buried along the shore years ago. And the ebb and flow of the ocean's tide means that nothing- not the sea glass that she collects on the sand and not the truths behind Anna's mother's death- stays buried forever.

Follow Friday (#13)

Follow Friday is a fun way for bloggers to find new blogger friends!  It's hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View, and it's such an awesome idea! 

 

Our Feature Blog this week is:

 

Amy @ Backseat Reader

 

 

And our question is:

 

"What Are You Doing To Prepare For An Upcoming Zombie Apocalypse And/Or The Return Of Mel Gibson To The Silver Screen?  (Both Of Which Could Be Terrifying.)"

 

Oh, well, to prepare myself for the apocalypse I've been watching lots of The Walking Dead and Supernatural.  I've been practicing my shooting (on computor games) and if a zombie decides to lock me in a boot, I know I can get out.  I have a dog who will growl if anything undead gets too near and lots of sneaky hiding places to shoot at zombies from and just, well, hide.  And, of course, I'm a vampire and I have a werewolf friend, so together I think we can destroy all the zombies.  They're not that hard to kill, right?

 

Well, that's my FF!  Can I just say, I love this question! 

 

If you've found me through FF, drop me a link.  If you're not taking part, how are you preparing for the upcoming apocalypse and the possibility of Mel Gibson returning to the big screen?

 

Have a great weekend all!

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

Series: The Mortal Instruments, Book Two

Publisher: Walker

Format: Paperback

Published: 7^th July 2008

Number of Pages: 416

Book: Bought

Genre: Dark Romance, Fantasy, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, Action-Adventure, YA

Recommended Age: 12+

Contains: Violence

No Alcohol, Drug References

Haunted by her past, Clary is dragged deeper into New York City's terrifying underworld of demons and Shadowhunters - but can she control her feelings for a boy who can never be hers?

Review:

I read City of Bones and I was addicted.  The moment I finished the book I ran upstairs to get City of Ashes.  Although the big twist at the end of the first didn’t surprise me, I needed to know more.  So much so that I didn’t even think to write a review after I finished the second because I just had to read City of Glass.  This series is just one of those that are impossible to put down.  And even when I’m not reading them, I’m thinking about the characters.  I’ve even started to dream about Shadowhunters, but of course not of myself being one.  And, may I just say, City of Ashes was even better than its predecessor, something I hadn’t even thought possible. 

Anyway, onto my actual review.  City of Bones left the Clave suddenly without the Angel’s Cup, and the Cup itself in Valentine’s clutches.  It also left Clary and Jace reeling in the revelation that they’re siblings.  City of Ashes begins with Clary accepting her Shadowhunter heritage and struggling against the feelings she has for her brother, Jace.  Simon faces problems as well; both with his own love for Clary and an unforeseen ‘change’ that honestly completely surprised me.  And, to make matters even worse, Valentine is back with yet another nefarious scheme that will change the Clave and the world of the Shadowhunters forever.  He’s after the Mortal Sword, another Mortal Instrument, and wants to turn it bad.  To do this could forfeit the already precarious agreement between the Downworlders and Shadowhunters, as to turn the sword, he needs the blood of a Child of Lilith, a Child of the Moon, a Child of the Night and a Child of Lylic...

Just when you think this series couldn’t possibly be any better, it just goes and does.  It kept me on the edge of my seat, and refused to let me go.  There’s more action, more mythical creatures, more emotion.  Just amazing everything. 

Clary is by far a stronger character now, and not so much a damsel-in-distress (I hate female leads who go running for the guy every time there’s trouble).  She’s funny, smart, brave and emotionally strong.  I love her!  Now, Jace, I love even more.  He’s sarcastic, ironic and hilarious.  Does anyone else seem to laugh at entirely inappropriate places because of Jace?  The scenes between the two bounce between being so beautiful it hurts and then very awkward.  Romantic scenes between siblings shouldn’t be so absolutely romantic and amazing.  Yet I’m sensing something underneath the surface here, hiding: I don’t think everything’s as it says it is...

Simon is the best friend a girl could hope for, and the scenes between him and Clary are real and perfect.  Plus, he’s just so cute and nerdy!  Now, another duo whose dynamics are just incredible are Alec and Magnus, the gay warlock with glitter in his hair and rainbow leather trousers.  Magus is just the best warlock ever, and is also wonderfully sarcastically funny.  Oh, and they’re so cute!

Somehow, Cassandra Clare has created characters you can either completely fall in love with or hate with all your heart.  How she does this?  I have no idea.  But somehow she does, and I commend her for it.  She is by far one of the best authors I’ve come across, and I love every minute of her books.

By the way, how does Clare manage to make me cry with laughter one second then just cry the next?  And as for her plots, well, let’s just say that while at some points they’re mildly predictable, at others I’m completely thrown.  Her stories never disappoint you, from start to finish.  Cassandra Clare: one of my very favourite authors ever!

I’m going to get back to City of Glass now.  Love this series...
