Review: Invisible

Invisible Invisible by Jeanne Bannon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Synopsis:

Lola’s not pretty. Lola’s not popular. Lola wishes she could disappear … and then one day she does just that... 

For seventeen-year-old Lola Savullo, life is a struggle. Born to funky parents who are more in than she could ever be, Lola’s dream of becoming a writer makes her an outsider even in her own home. Bullied and despised, Lola still has the support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose. 

Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”. 

Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to control the new super power. The possibilities are endless. Yet power can be abused, too… 

When tragedy strikes, Lola must summon her inner strength, both at home and at school. She has to stand up for herself, despite the temptations and possibilities of her newfound super power. 

A coming-of-age story that will warm the heart.


My Thoughts:



This is a quick easy read about a bullied teen. The book is well written and I enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and their antics entertaining. I like that the MC grows emotionally and learns to love herself over the course of the book.

Today is the cover reveal for Inseparable by Siobhan Davis. This cover reveal is organized by Lola's Blog Tours.

InseparableInseparable
By Siobhan Davis
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Age category: New Adult
Release Date: 9 January, 2018


Blurb:
A gritty, angsty, friends-to-lovers standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis.

A childhood promise. An unbreakable bond. One tragic event that shatters everything.

It all started with the boys next door…

Devin and Ayden were my best friends. We were practically joined at the hip since age two. When we were kids, we thought we were invincible, inseparable, that nothing or no one could come between us.

But we were naive.

Everything turned to crap our senior year of high school.

Devin was turning into a clone of his deadbeat lowlife father—fighting, getting wasted, and screwing his way through every girl in town. I’d been hiding a secret crush on him for years. Afraid to tell him how I felt in case I ruined everything. So, I kept quiet and slowly watched him self-destruct with a constant ache in my heart.

Where Devin was all brooding darkness, Ayden was the shining light. Our star quarterback with the bright future whom everyone loved. But something wasn’t right. He was so guarded, and he wouldn’t let me in.

When Devin publicly shamed me, Ayden took my side, and our awesome-threesome bond was severed. The split was devastating. The heartbreak inevitable.

Gradually, Ayden and I grew closer. We graduated and moved on with our lives, but the pain never lessened, and Devin was never far from our thoughts.

Until it all came to a head in college, and one eventful night changed everything.

Now, I’ve lost the two people who matter more to me than life itself. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Inseparable Excerpt:

Prologue

Present Day - Angelina

Life is just a flow of interconnecting moments in time. A combination of well-thought-out actions and spontaneous reactions. A sequence of events and people moving in and out of your personal stratosphere.
At least, that’s how I’ve always viewed it.
Like a squiggly line veering up and down with no apparent pattern. Plotting the highs; pinpointing the lows. Showcasing the happy times. Highlighting the mistakes and the resulting consequences. Calling into focus all the myriad of things I should’ve done differently if I had known.
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the notion of time—making a beeline for the fortune tellers every year when the carnival descended on the wide, open grassy field just outside town. I saved my pocket money all year round so I could have my fortune told. The idea that you could see into the future, to know what was around the corner, held an enormous fascination for me.
I wanted to make something of my life.
To dedicate myself to a profession that helped others.
To know happiness awaited me.
To receive confirmation that the two most important people in my life would always be in it. Because even the thought I could lose Ayden or Devin always sent horrific tremors of fear rushing through me.
For as long as I can remember, it had always been the three of us. Best friends to the end. The awesome-threesome. Forever infinity. It was a friendship more akin to family. A meeting of minds and hearts and promises. A connection so deep that we swore nothing or no one would ever come between us. We committed ourselves in a secret bond when we were twelve, and the commitment was imprinted on my heart in the same way it was inked on my skin.
I could never have predicted what was to come.
That I’d be the one to destroy everything.
No fortune teller ever told me that.
For years, I’ve thought of nothing but the what-ifs, and obsessed over so many questions.
What if a fortune teller had told me what would come to pass?
Would things have been different?
What would I change?
Would I have had the strength to stay away from my two best friends? To forge a completely different path in life? To deny something that was intrinsically a part of myself? Could I slice my heart apart knowing it was the right thing to do?
For years these questions have plagued me.
But I’m too afraid to confront the truth even though it’s front and center. Even though I carry it with me like a thundercloud, hovering and threatening but never opening up, never letting the storm loose.
Some truths are far too painful to acknowledge out loud.
As if to speak the words would confirm what I already know about myself.
That I’m weak, selfish, and not at all the person I thought I was.
Perhaps that’s why we don’t have that cognitive ability—to see the future, to know what lies ahead. I’ve thought of it often. If it’s evolution. If at some time in the future humans will be able to sense the path of their destiny. To alter their fate. To assume full control over every aspect of their life with conscious decision.
For now, all I’ve got is that squiggly line and a huge helping of regret.
What good comes from continually looking back? From locking myself in the haunted mansion of my past? Meandering with the ghosts of guilt and shame? For a girl who spent her happy youth so focused on the future, it’s a very sorry state of affairs. But I’m stuck in this washing machine that is my so-called life. The faster it churns, the more I lose myself. So, I try to stop time. To stand still. To numb myself to my reality. To blank out feeling and emotion. To close myself off. To never allow another human to imprint on my heart or to see into the black, murky depths of my soul.
The honest truth is, if I’d had a crystal ball—if I’d known what was going to happen—I still wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Because I would’ve missed those high points. Those happy memories that are the only thing keeping me alive right now.
If that’s what you can call my current existence.
And that makes me the most selfish, conceited liar on the planet.

Review: Unreality

Unreality Unreality by Ingrid Seymour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Synopsis:

This novel will only be available for a limited time in the Marked By Fate Boxset!

Meadow’s psychic powers ruined her life once. Now they’re back and just as bent on destroying her as before.

Ever since she helped solve her mother’s gruesome murder twelve years ago, Meadow Bright has kept her psychic abilities locked away. As a five-year-old, the brutal visions of her mother’s death nearly destroyed her. Now, a senior in high school, she still fears her nature and what opening up could do to her.

But when a classmate is found viciously tortured and murdered, her powers return with a vengeance, flooding her mind with new visions and opening old wounds. Worst of all, the new victim wears the signature of her mother’s killer, a man who’s still in jail under a life sentence without parole.
It seems that, all those years ago, she made a mistake and helped put the wrong man in jail. Now, she must redeem herself before more people die.
 

My Thoughts:



I loved this book. I was immediately drawn into the story and I didn't want to put it down. I loved the characters. This book had everything. There was mystery, romance, psychic visions and mind control. You could almost feel the fear. I would definitely read something else by this author.

Sanctuary Sanctuary by Melle Amade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Synopsis:


It’s survival of the fittest, but first you have to fit in.

Shae is sure the icy rage that eats away at her is driving away her friends and pulling her closer to the wrong boy. But, as her protected world unravels, she discovers the violent supernatural world that lurks in her quiet hometown and the ancient feuds that threaten to destroy both her friends and her family.

My Thoughts:



I absolutely loved this book!! I love that there are so many types of shifters in this book. The characters are easy to connect with. They are so likable. There is definitely a lot of action in this book. I just couldn't put it down and I stayed up all night reading it. Who needs sleep when you've got a good book, right? I will definitely be adding this series to my TBR.

Review: Doormaker: Rock Heaven

Doormaker: Rock Heaven Doormaker: Rock Heaven by Jamie Thornton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Synopsis:

THREE WORLDS. ONE RULE. SHE MUST NEVER OPEN A DOOR.

Since before Maella can remember, one family rule has shaped her life: never open a door. Maella comes from a family of doormakers—people who unleash otherworldly violence when they open something even as simple as a cabinet door.

Maella didn’t mean to open a door.

Maella tried NOT to open a door.

She just wanted to save her friend from a bully.

Pushed through a portal of her own making, Maella discovers worlds of nightmarish flying monsters, magical drug deals, political prisoners, religious cults, and a terrifying prediction: Maella will die upon opening her seventh door. In order to survive, Maella must uncover her family’s secrets, all while hiding her identity and outrunning the prediction of her death.

But what do you do when the truth you need could destroy the universe?

In this thrilling first book in the Doormaker series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jamie Thornton, discover the magic of the doormakers and begin an epic journey of secrets, betrayal, and power.



My Thoughts:



I really enjoyed this book. It almost had a Sliders or Quantum Leap feel to it. I felt bad for Maella as everyone was mad at her for being she was. The poor girl was struggling to control her 'gift' and she didn't know who she could trust. There is so much action in this book and I can't wait to read book 2.

Review: Teeth of the Gods

Teeth of the Gods Teeth of the Gods by Sarah K.L. Wilson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Synopsis:


My world is unraveling and it's all my fault.

I'm alone in the world, my magic won't surface, my mother is dead, and everything I do just seems to make things worse. My father is planning to chain me to an enemy he defeated - literally. What should I do? I refuse to just give up my freedom! Is it really too much to ask that someone be on my side and that I get to have just a little bit of fun before my life ends?

Searching for the perfect princess-turned-kick-ass heroine? Looking for an epic fantasy tale like nothing you've ever read before? This one won't disappoint you. Teeth of the Gods combines the epic fantasy storyline of Robert Jordan's "Eye of the World" with the immediate in-person awe of Stephanie Garber's "Caraval." Plus, the ending is an absolute game-changer! Expect a thrilling ride.
 


My Thoughts:



This book is ok. I couldn't connect with the characters very well. I couldn't find much of a reason to like any of them. The plot had potential but with unlikable characters I just couldn't get into it. I will not be adding this series to my TBR.

Review: Forbidden Mind

Forbidden Mind Forbidden Mind by Karpov Kinrade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Synopsis:


49% of Americans believe their government officials are honest. I don't know these officials, or their supporters, but I know their secrets, and 49% of Americans are wrong. 

My employers pay me well to be right, to know things others can't. But I don't know why they brought that boy in, strapped to a stretcher, barely conscious. He asked me for help when I could give none. 

I'm a wealthy spy, a talented artist, a martial arts black belt, and a prisoner. They tell me that on my eighteenth birthday, I will be released, free to go to the college of my dreams. It's my eighteenth birthday, and a man in black is at my door. I know he's not here to free me. 

I know, because I can read minds. 

My name is Sam, and this is my story. 

So begins the tale of Sam and Drake--from the time they link minds, forging a bond that leads to an unconventional romance--to their fight for survival against the corrupt, twisted organization known as 'Rent-A-Kid.' 

My Thoughts:



This book really drew me in. I just couldn't put the book down. I loved the fact that each kid had different powers & skills. The MC is likable and I found myself wanting her to escape. When you find out what is really happening here, it will leave you speechless. This series is definitely getting added to my TBR.

Review: Fantasy of Frost

Fantasy of Frost Fantasy of Frost by Kelly St. Clare
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Synopsis:


Fantasy of Frost is the first title in The Tainted Accords. 

Warning: You won't be able to put this book down. 

I know many things. What I am capable of, what I will change, what I want to become. But there is one thing I will never know. 

Being the Tatuma of our world, the next to rule, should have given me a privileged life. One full of friends, love and happiness. If my mother did not hate me, I probably would have had that. Instead, she has kept me veiled from birth, turning the possibility of this distant dream into a living nightmare. 

Shunned by the court, abused from childhood, I am trapped within this material barrier and will never know my own face. Only two friends and a determination to become Tatum keep me sane. 

I am unaware everything in my life is about to change when the peace delegate arrives from the savage world of Glacium. Hidden agendas, past secrets and my struggle to stay alive–while still becoming the person I want to be–careen wildly out of control. 

Join Olina in this coming-of-age fantasy. 

Warning: Cliff-hanger ending. Suitable for young adult+. Novel contains fighting scenes, swearing, romance, sexual themes and general kick ass. 


My Thoughts:



This book had such an interesting world that the author created. I absolutely loved the map included with the augmented reality box set, Marked by Fate. I really wanted to like this book more because the world building was so good. The plot, however, didn't play out as well. It was moving fast and then in the middle it slowed down a lot. Then the plot just seemed to fall apart. At that point, the author lost me. The first part of the book was so good and I had such high expectations and they were sadly not met. Will I read book 2? I am torn because there are a lot of series where book 2 has blown book 1 out of the water. Will this author be like that or will book 2 fall flat again? I will add it to my TBR and give her one more chance.

Review: Becoming: The Balance Bringer

Becoming: The Balance Bringer Becoming: The Balance Bringer by Debra Kristi
My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Synopsis:

The Balance Bringer Triune is born once every era. Three sisters―one vessel. This time it’s Anala Janssen’s turn to wield the power. If only someone had given her a heads-up.


Ana’s life is falling apart. She tries to be a normal high school senior even as normalcy evaporates and her true self struggles to awaken. The most popular girl in school is out to get her. And she still blames herself for her boyfriend’s death two years prior. Worse yet, what she thought were mere dreams start entering her waking life. Eerie shadows hunt her. Strange new abilities begin developing. Her dream guy becomes reality. And Ana is becoming something other.


Truth be told, Ana feels like she's becoming something beyond human, or maybe she's just going crazy. Where can she turn for answers? Her mother and her best friend are keeping a dark secret about who Ana really is―a secret that could restore the balance between worlds or hurtle them deeper into darkness.


Ana is not only discovering the world is far stranger than she ever expected, but that its survival is dependent on her. But for there to even be a glimmer of a chance at salvation, she must make it alive to the home she's never known.


If you devoured the Mortal Instruments series or Twilight, you’ll love this award-winning, action-packed, romance-touched, coming-of-age adventure told from the point-of-view of a confused and unreliable high-school senior.


Buy Becoming: The Balance Bringer and plunge into the secrets of the triune today!
 


My Thoughts:



I got this book as part of the Marked by Fate box set with augmented reality. This book is really slow. I really had to push myself to finish it. There wasn't anything really wrong with it, it just didn't interest me. I couldn't connect with the characters. However, I did enjoy the augmented reality items thrown in. The map of her town (with all the places talked about in the story labeled) and the Triune chart were really quite interesting. They really give the reader some insight into the town and the characters.

Review: Swords & Stilettos

Swords & Stilettos Swords & Stilettos by Kristin D. Van Risseghem
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Synopsis:

Zoe Jabril needs to devise a kick-ass plan to save the world ASAP. Otherwise, Armageddon starts the day she turns eighteen—and if that happens, everything is going to hell. Literally.

She could be any other 17-year-old attending parties and checking out cute guys—except she discovers her best friend is a Guardian Angel and the boy she crushes on is a Nephilim, both sent to protect her from the demons who want her dead.

Now Zoe has to deal with growing feelings toward the Nephilim, who spreads a strange electrical current through her body every time he touches her. And she’s under constant attack from Demons, trying to stop her from fulfilling the Prophecy: a girl will be born who will unite Angels, Nephilim, Fairies and Werewolves to battle evil. Then she has to control newly found talents if she’s to prevent the devil from escaping Hell.

** This title used to be called: The Guardian, a Sword, & Stilettos. **



My Thoughts:



The cover is beautiful and draws the reader in. Then you open the book and get totally drawn into the plot. I had a lot of trouble putting this book down. I loved the characters and enjoyed the story immensely. Book 2 will definitely be added to my TBR.
