EVE

By Anna Carey

Blurb: The year is 2032, sixteen years after a deadly virus—and the vaccine intended to protect against it—wiped out most of the earth’s population. The night before eighteen-year-old Eve’s graduation from her all-girls school she discovers what really happens to new graduates, and the horrifying fate that awaits her. Fleeing the only home she’s ever known, Eve sets off on a long, treacherous journey, searching for a place she can survive. Along the way she encounters Caleb, a rough, rebellious boy living in the wild. Separated from men her whole life, Eve has been taught to fear them, but Caleb slowly wins her trust...and her heart. He promises to protect her, but when soldiers begin hunting them, Eve must choose between true love and her life.

{Eve is one of my top picks because it was so different from all the dystopian novels I've read. It was scary realistic because their is no demon take over or zombies, its just a sickness that took over. But Anna Carey doesn't focus on what happened she focus' on the character and how they are trying to find themselves, where they belong and how to survive. I love Eve and Caleb and I can't wait to see where Carey takes them next in her future novel}

Blood Bound

By Rachel Vincent

Blurb: Bound by blood, condemned by fate As a bloodtracker, Liv is extremely powerful. And in a world where power is a commodity that can get you killed, Liv's learnt to survive by her own rules. Rule number one? Trust no one. But when a friend's daughter goes missing, Liv is bound by a potent magical oath. She can't rest until the child is safe. And that means trusting her dangerous ex, Cam. A sinister prophecy tells that she and Cam will be the death of each other, yet Liv's tired of being a slave to destiny. She's ready to play the forces controlling her world at their own game. No matter what the cost.

{ I was a fan of Rachel Vincent from her Shifter series and was excited for her next adult series Blood Bound. I loved the unique take on a mafia type world with the ability to track people in different ways. The characters, plot and romance was fantastic and I love the world Vincent created.}

VooDoo Dues

By Stepahnie Simmons

Blurb: From the beginning of Figg’s employment, there is something not quite right about the bar. There are few customers, a parade of neighborhood psychics and pentacle adorned visitors, all coming to hold court with her enigmatic boss. Figg is not sure what is going on, but she is determined to find out! 

When the local voodoo queen shows up, and the next morning her grandson ends up dead outside the bar things get interesting.

Figg pesters Lian into telling her the truth about his former life, and is thrust into a world where the things that go bump in the night are real. There’s a murder to solve, zombies to lay to rest and a villain that neither of them saw coming.

{This was my favorite adult series because I loved the characters, this is the first book of the series and a first for Simmons. She did a fantastic job a mixing, humor, zombies, voodoo and a touch of romance that was unique and very original. I absolutely look forward to more adventures with Figg and her boss Lian.}

Anna and the French Kiss
By Stephanie Perkins

Blurb: Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris - until she meets Etienne St. Clair: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

As winter melts into spring, will a year of romantic near - misses end with the French kiss Anna - and readers - have long awaited?

{ Yet another Stephanie who captivated me with her wondering young adult story. I haven't read a novel in a long time that didn't have paranormal elements and this one made me so excited to get back to reading more fiction based books. I loved every character, St. Clair was such a swoon worthy guy and Anna was the kind of girl I'd be friends with in a minute. I look forward to Perkins next book Lola and the Boy next Door.}

Question this week from Parajunkee

Q. In books like the Sookie Stackhouse Series aka True Blood, the paranormal creatures in question "come out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which Mythical cretaure do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?

A.  I would either go with werewolf or Unicorn... haha yep thats right I said Unicorn. I have no idea but I have always wanted to see a real Unicorn.. but I guess they can't really come out of the closet unless they were a shifter of some sort. Otherwise I'd say werewolf cause I would love to see a man like Adam from Mercy Thompson Series or Alcide from Sookie Stackhouse, now those are some good looking werewolves I'd like to be real.

POSSESS by Gretchen McNeil
My Favorite Book this month... Wow thats such a hard question because I've loved so many but I'm going to go with Possess by Gretchen McNeil. I was extremely captivated by the unquie storyline and haunting words crafted by McNeil. The characters were memorable and I really never wanted this book to end. I think before I read Possess I knew it was going to be a great book, I had it on my shelf for months staring at me and I just knew once I read it I wouldnt want it to end. Overall I felt that this book held its own against the vampires, werewolves, fae and so on that have been so popular. I liked that I could tell how much research must have been done to get the story right and give it the realistic vibe that it held. Hands down my favorite book of August, so much so I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
