Shiver Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

Grace has always been fascinated by wolves.

Despite being pulled of her tire swing and being attacked by a pack of wolves she can't help her obsession with them, especially for the yellow eyed wolf who saved her life.

Sam is a boy with a troubled past, a complicated life and an even worrisome future. When Sam was just a kid he was bitten by a wolf which in time turned him into one. Through out the summer and warm temperated seasons he is allowed to live his life a human, but when winter comes and the air is cold the wolf comes out.

He can't control it and there is no cure and worse of all this may be his last year turning into a human.

Like all shifters Sam is running out of time.

Every shifter has an expiration date- when they stop going back and forth between human and wolf. It's a curse he cant escape but at least as a wolf he can watch over her.

From the edge of the woods in her back yard he is there, watching her. He's there during the winter days watching, but so is she. She knows he's out there. her wolf. The wolf that saved her six years ago. He is always there

When a local boy dies and the wolves are threatened Sam ends up on Grace's back door wounded with a bullet hole in his neck. Grace should be scared of this stranger in her backyard, but one look into his eyes and she knows it's him. Her wolf, only he isn't a wolf any more.

Together they fight against unbeatable odds, a jealous wolf and the possible exposure of what Sam is. Can their love get them through the chaos of Sam's world and even more importantly can they hold of winter to keep Sam from changing back into a wolf permanently?

***

I have no idea what to say other then READ THE FREAKIN BOOK!

This book was pretty interesting.

A whole new side to this werewolf-thing-a-ma-jig.

Here is a story where the curse of the wolf is actually a curse.

Broken Silence

Broken Silence (silence#2)

Can Oakley handle the stress of the trial and seeing Cole -the love of her life- again?

Oakley's emotional limits are about to be pushed and she isn't sure if she is capable of handling all of the attention and anxiety that comes with standing up for herself and the other victims like her.

Oakley is a strong and determined person but will she be strong enough to take control of her emotions long enough to land her father and Frank in jail?

Or Will the whole situation get the better of her?

Will Oakley be able to face Cole after hurting him all those years ago?

Join Oakley as she attempts to move pass her horrible past and finally gain closer in this second book of Natasha Preston's Silence series

***

So, I don't usually read book like this, but both Silence and Broken Silence were flipping fantastic.

It was hard reading this story. I can not imagine what it must be like to go through something like this and I pray for all the Oakley's out there in the real world. I pray and hope that they know that they are not alone and that it is okay to speak up and be brave.

Natasha Preston did a wonderful job at writing these books and I am sure I will be reading more of her stories soon.

Silence Review

4/5 ☆☆☆☆

Okay, so, this book is in no way similar to any of the book I usually read.

This is not a paranormal or science fiction book.

In this book sixteen year old Oakley Farrell fights to suppress horrors from her past and focus on having a normal life.

Well, as normal as it can get for a girl who hasn't uttered a word in almost eleven years.

Physically there is nothing wrong with her... but, psychologically- that's another story.

As if she didn't already have a hard enough life the poor girl gets bullied everyday in school

but thanks to Cole, her only and best friend since she was a baby, her life is a bit bearable.

Cole is probably one of the only people in her life who fully accepts her the way she is

but as they grow closer she worries if their relationship will suffer due to the fact that

she can never communicate with him like a normal person.

Slowly Oakley starts to feel like her life is falling back into place

but when someone from her past reappears her world comes crumbling down.

Will she break her silence to keep herself safe

or will she endure further suffering in order to keep everyone she loves from hurting?

***

Personally I believe that Oakley is an incredibly strong person.

Having to deal with what she has for nearly Eleven years

and making such a difficult life changing decision towards the end just shows how strong of a person she is.

I have never read anything like this and I must admit that at times I wanted to jump into the story myself, grab Oakley and take her away from the life that she was living.

Yeah that bad.

Cole's relationship with Oakley since they were young has probably been the only thing that kept that poor girl from breaking apart and I honestly felt their heart ache once the things from her past started to catch up with her.

The only thing that bothered me about this book was the spelling errors but who am I too judge I am definitely not the worlds best speller (lol)

I really liked this book and I will read the next book... like right now!

I need to know what happens next and god I hope ..... [Nope. Look at me about to give out spoilers]

This book is available as an e-book free on Kindle

Delirium Pilot

If you are a fan of the book Delirium by Lauren Oliver the you should take a look at the pilot episode of the television show Delirium hulu.com/Delirium

Watch all your favorite characters come to life on your screen at home.

Although I do think that the pilot episode could have been better I think Emma Roberts is the perfect person to play Lena Holoway.

Love, the deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't.

The Summing

3.5/5 ☆☆☆

Holy Supernaturals !

I wanted paranormal and that is exactly what I got!

There is no shortage of supernaturals in this series.

In the Summoning by Kelley Armstrong we have:

Ghosts

Necromancers

Sorcerers

Witches

Werewolves

Zombies

Demi-demons

and

much much more.

After seeing her first ghost, and was sent to a group home for troubled youth

following what appeared to be a psychotic break

Chloe Saunders knew that her life, as she knew it, would never be the same.

Chloe was told that what she was experiencing were early signs of schizophrenia and that

in two weeks, if all went well, she would be able to go back to her home
and live a normal life with the help of some medications.

Two weeks. That's not too long, right?

Two weeks and she'll be home living a normal life.

Too bad life had other plans for her.

OKAY PEOPLE THIS IS WHERE SHIZZ REALLY START TO HIT THE FAN...

Once Chloe enters Lyles House she figures out that there is more to the other patients than meets the eye.
She realizes that Lyle house is not a house for just any kind of troubled youth
and that her very life maybe in danger.

Chloe and her friends need to escape but how can she trust
the others when they have their own secrets they wont share... how can she trust anyone when her own sanity is questionable.

Warning: The betrayal in this book is CRAZY! After reading the trilogy (all in two days) I developed some major trust issues.

But other than that I really liked it... I mean come on I did read the trilogy in two days
