*********

Calla Tor has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side, ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything— including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?

**********

 I must say that this book is going to be a bestseller. If it's not, I'll be really sad and more importantly IT JUST GOING TO BE A BESTSELLER! Andera Creamer twists a new refreshing tale about werewolves and the oh so classic theme: love. I admit that when I first received my ARC copy in the mail I though Oh, great... another werewolf novel! But I'm glad a forgot my other ARC copy of Matched in my locker and was forced to picked this book up. Calla is a a strong, butt-kicking heroine and has always done what's right for her pack and family, so if she decided to be a little selfish and save the cute boy on the hill.... so be it Keepers!

Anyway, Calla isn't the only interesting character in the story. There's Mason, Sabine, Shay... REN! They are all lovely in there own ways, even if some can become annoying. But I must say before I go on that for some odd reason I like Ren better then Shay. Ren seemed more real, tragic, and well... lovable. So if you find yourself on Team Ren, you're not alone.

Now I feel I must stop for fear of spoiling anything. You guys have no idea how many times I've pushed the delete key!

Remember, my Nightshade giveaway is open 'till Oct. 2nd. midnight!

Guess What I Got!

Listen up and Listen well, some of my teachers may say. I just had a very--VERY awesome surprise yesterday. You want to know what it is? Well, if you don't stop reading, but yesterday I came home beat after a day at school and lugging around my heavy backpack. Then... I look at my front porch step and there is a black, rectangle box, that has a label addressed to me from Razor Bill. And I GOT....
ARC(S) OF.....
      




     

I wonder what I will do with them, after I read them. Only a few can sit on my over crowed bookshelf... 
Mmmmmmmm. What to do. Anyway, I'm half way through Nightshade and almost DONE with Matched.
Reviews coming up ( enter Ryan's dramtic pause Idol fans)... AFTER this weekend.

Time to get Classy!

We all may remember that little, redheaded, eleven year-old girl, Anne. ALWAYS spelled with an 'e'. Yep, that's right; Anne of Green Gables! This book has celebrated it's 100th birthday two years ago and it's like wine. The more it ages, the better it tastes.
( My book summary):

Siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are growing old and can’t do as much work as they’re use to on their little farm called Green Gables. So they decide to adopt an orphan boy to help around the farm. But with a little mistake, it’s not a boy who shows up at their doorstep, it’s Anne Shirley; an eleven year-old girl with a temper to make her head of “carrots”, a dramatic streak, and a great deal of imagination.

      Anne had already won Matthews’s heart, but Marilla’s was a different story. Yet, after a few chats with Anne and an in counter with a possible, but horrid new foster mom for Anne, Marilla’s decides to let Anne stay. However, Anne Shirley is a lot to handle and often gets into scarps. After flying at Mrs. Lynde, the woman who knows everyone’s business, for calling Anne straight out ugly, breaking a slate a top the handsome Gilbert Blythe’s head, to dying her hair green. The people of Avonlea wonder what Marilla and Matthew of gotten into.

Enjoy and read! Because there's a reason it's a classic,

Isn't it pretty!

Rating: Four Stars!


Forget you is a tale about Zoey; A teenage girl, who deals with her problems by trying to be perfect and always in control. Although, Zoey has enough problems as it is with her parent's recent splint after her father got his 24 year-old secretary pregnant and her mom's recent attempt at suicide . But add in a crash, that leaves Zoey grappling to know what happened the night before leaves her powerless. What she had planned to do, isn't what she seemed to have done. If she didn't go parking with Brandon, then what did she do? As she battles with her consuming fear she tries to figure out what really happened without anyone finding out she doesn't remember. And why is it that Doug, dark and sarcastic Doug, is always around instead of her golden boy, boyfriend Brandon? And why might she is happy about that?


Like every good book it had it's flaws, but it's a tiny pearl inside the great sea of books. The story never became dull  and you went  on an emotional whirlwind with Zoey as strangles to get through her senior* year of high school.
