Summer Break Reading Challenge
I just found this and it sounds like fun so wanted to share. Check it out.
Wishlist Wednesday - Another Faust
From Amazon:
One night, in cities all across Europe, five children vanish — only to appear, years later, at an exclusive New York party with a strange and elegant governess. Rumor and mystery follow the Faust teenagers to the city’s most prestigious high school, where they soar to suspicious heights with the help of their benefactor’s extraordinary "gifts." But as the students claw their way up — reading minds, erasing scenes, stopping time, stealing power, seducing with artificial beauty — they start to suffer the sideeffects of their own addictions. And as they make further deals with the devil, they uncover secrets more shocking than their most unforgivable sins. At once chilling and wickedly satirical, this contemporary reimagining of the Faustian bargain is a compelling tale of ambition, consequences, and ultimate redemption.

Review - and Falling, Fly
and Falling, Fly by Skyler WhiteMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I had a really rough time with this one. It has interesting characters. And an interesting plot. But when reading it, I found it to be uneven and disjointed. There would be sections that were great, but then the next would be confusing and out of place. I really think I could have enjoyed it more if it was smoother. There was also a weird mix of philosophy and theology that was mixed in. Could have had good effects on the story but they werent incorporated as well as I would have liked. At some points they just served to make the story more confusing.

Review - Deception
Deception by Lee NicholsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great start to a new series. Really looking forward to what comes next and finding out more about the characters. Emma is a interesting character as are the rest. How they relate to each other and grow is going to make this a fun series to read.

Review - Guardian
Guardian by Claire DelacroixMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book. Still well written with great characters and a good story line. But with having already read one book in the series, the learning curve for the world was not as rough. Made it much easier to enjoy the story.

Review - Fallen
Fallen by Claire DelacroixMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Really more of a 3 1/2 stars book. Interesting setting, great characters. But at times it was hard to follow. It was such a complex new world that it took some adjusting. Good writing though and interesting characters and plot so going to see what happens in book 2.

Spider's Bite by Jennifer EstepMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great start to a new series. I love the characters the world that is set up and am really looking forward to more to come. While reading this one I am not really sure what I think of Donovan Caine. But hopefully we will see more of him and form a real impression.

Wishlist Wednesday - The Hollow
From Amazon:
When Abbey's best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead?and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen's funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey's life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he's the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again...but also special.
Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen's betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

Coming Soon - Sirens Call
Between desire and love there are some things that can’t stay buried, even in the deep of the ocean.
As a woman with a secret, lighthouse keeper Tessa Lonike savors her solitude on the island of Little Mer, off the coast of Maine. During a violent storm, Tessa spots a man thrashing in the ice cold waters and dives in to save him, using her ability as a mermaid to easily pull him to shore.
When Kenneth Randall awakens on the beach he is alone, left with the haunting memory of his beautiful, flame-haired savior. But a year later, when Kenneth meets her again, he’s determined not to let Tessa slip away. Just as the desire between them begins to burn, Tessa’s archaeologist ex-lover comes back to town with a tantalizing clue to her murky heritage.
The trio travel to the Mediterranean in search of answers, and when Tessa inadvertently opens an underwater portal they find a lost mermaid city. But in the deep, not everything is as it seems, and Tessa must decide if she wants to take her place as the royal heir, or follow the call of her heart…

Wishlist Wednesday - 13 to Life
From GoodReads:
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…
When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort.
The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide--secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.
