Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.


Review: I loved the book! I love Rachel Vincent's writing so much, and this didn't disappoint. I liked how the book kept you guessing on who was really behind everything until the very end. The book also made me an even bigger fan of Tod.

Book Review ⋯ My Soul to Keep

Title: My Soul to Keep
Series: Soul Screamers ⋯ Book 3
Author: Rachel Vincent
Pages: 278
Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: Kaylee has one addiction: her very hot, very popular boyfriend, Nash. A banshee like Kaylee, Nash understands her like no one else. Nothing can come between them. Until something does. 

Demon’s breath. No, not the toothpaste-challenged kind. The Netherworld kind. The kind that really can kill you. Somehow, the super-addictive substance has made its way to the human world. But how? Kaylee and Nash have to cut off the source and protect their friends—one of whom is already hooked. And when the epidemic hits too close to home, Kaylee will have to risk everything to save those she loves.


Review: Loved it! Rachel Vincent did a wonderful job, as usual. I was sad for a bit in the beginning, because Tod wasn't there, but the ending totally made up for it. I loved the details used when describing even the tiniest things. I loved everything!

Sorry it's a super short review, I just can't come up the words.

Book Review ⋯ My Soul to Save

Series: Soul Screamers ⋯ Book 2

Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: When Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone dies.

So when teen pop star Eden croaks onstage and Kaylee doesn't wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can't cry for someone who has no soul.

The last thing Kaylee needs right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad's ironclad curfew and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend's loyalty to the test. But starry-eyed teens are trading their souls: a flickering lifetime of fame and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld—a consequence they can't possibly understand.

Kaylee can't let that happen, even if trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk….

Review: I loved this book! I liked how much Kaylee wanted to help Addy, even though it was dangerous. I got frustrated with Tod though, for how he went about trying to save Addy. The book was really well written and I can't wait to start the next one, My Soul to Keep.

Book Review ⋯ My Soul to Take

Title: My Soul to Take
Series: Soul Screamer ⋯ Book 1
Author: Rachel Vincent
Pages: 279
Stars: ★★★★★


Summary: She doesn't see dead people, but…

She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next…

Review: When I started My Soul to Take a few days ago, I had no idea what actually happened in it even though I'd read it before. As expected, it was still really good. I love Nash and Tod! 


I'm kind of in a review slump, so this all I'm going to say at the moment. Sorry it's not longer.

YA Crush Tourney News

This was the first annual Summer Crushin' Tournament, hosted by the YA Sisterhood. I'm blogging about it today because it ended this morning and I'm very excited about the winner. So for the Grande Finale round, Jace Wayland(from Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series) went up against Zachary Moore(from Jeri Smith-Ready's Shift & Shade novels). 


And(unsurprisingly) the Winner is. . .

❤Jace Wayland❤

Now the voting was very close at 24,250 to 21,385. And when I went to bed last night(at 2a.m.), I was a little worried that #TeamKilt would pull a last-minute voting ambush like they did when Zachary was against Tod Hudson(from Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series) in the semi-finals.

If you haven't noticed yet, I'm #TeamJace all the way! So I was excited when, yesterday, Cassandra blogged that if Jace wins she would post the unedited version of the Dirty Sexy Club Scene in City of Lost Souls, A spicy teaser from Clockwork Prince, and if he won by more than 1,000 votes, a romantic Magnus/Alec scene from CoLS. Then I got even more excited when she blogged "The Big Guns edition", in which she would give away a Clockwork Prince ARC to someone who tweeted, blogged, Facebooked, etc. about the tourney between 8p.m. & 8a.m. yesterday. Also yesterday, for every fifty votes Jace got Cassie would answer a character question on Twitter(I'm trying to compile the Q&A's into a list). 

(Not sure who made this, but I got it when it was @HebelDesign's profile picture.)

For the complete list(match ups included) of everyone in the tourney, go here.

For the YA Sisterhood's post on the winner, go here.

EDIT: Added the link for the Clockwork Prince teaser. If you missed it, go here.
Also, if you didn't catch the DSCS(Dirty Sexy Club Scene) link, go here.


EDIT 2: Added the link for the Malec(Magus/Alec) scene. If you missed it, go here.

Summary: No one wants to be this teacher’s pet . . . 

Everyone else is talking about Eastlake High’s gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck, but Kaylee Cavanaugh has bigger things on her mind. Kaylee’s a banshee—her scream is a portent of death. 

But the next scream might hit too close to home. Kaylee’s borrowed lifeline has almost run out. 

Yeah—it’s a shock to her, too. So to distract herself from her own problems, Kaylee is determined to defend her school against the latest supernatural threat. That hot new teacher is really an incubus, who feeds from the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend’s delinquent ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren’t quite human either. 

But Kaylee’s running out of time, and those who love her will do anything to save her life. 

Anything.
