New Adult Addiction

COVER REVEAL: Dangerous by Suzannah Daniels

Dangerous by Suzannah Daniels Publication date: February 10th 2013 Cover designed by Okay Creations Stone Hamilton had never known fear…until the accident. Since then, his life has spiraled out of control. He’s been kicked out of private school, deemed a disappointment by his father, and forced to endure his own guilt, anger, and grief. The last thing he wants is a relationship with someone who will have expectations of him. But once he’s enticed by the shimmering pink lips of the oh-so-popular, academically-excelling, straitlaced hottie from his new school, he knows he’s in trouble. Seventeen-year-old Dara Golding has one goal for the summer. Make enough money to buy a car, so that she can drive to school her senior year. After starting a new job, she realizes that she’ll be working with the brooding, motorcycle-riding, bad boy who started attending Quail Mountain High last year.

REVIEW: Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

Let me just start with this…the second I closed the cover of Days of Blood and Starlight, I immediately asked myself if it was OK to begin re-reading the series. That’s how wonderful this story was for me, so you can probably tell I’m giving it five stars. But besides the rating, if you have the hard cover – and I urge you to get it if you love this series – it is a beautiful book. Just gorgeous. The cover is stunning, the map of Eretz, with the angel and demon wings and chimera and angel warriors is beyond beautiful, and the little details at chapter headings as well as the “once upon a time” vignettes just take your breath away. If you don’t have it, get it. It’s a work of publishing art. OK, back to Karou – if you weren’t thrilled with the flashbacks of the previous… Read more »

REVIEW: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

Daughter of Smoke and Bone (DOSB) is the first book in the angel-apocalypse fantasy series by Laini Taylor. I read this book back when it came out because I was drawn to the cover. Yes, I admit it – I DO judge a book by its cover. But I was quickly engrossed in Karou’s fantastical real-life of chimeras, wishmongers, and angels. I love a good angel story and DOSB is a very good start to an enthralling angel story. Karou is an art-student living in Prague, she has a best friend named Zuzana, an ex-boyfriend who thinks he’s a street actor, and is the foster-daughter of a chimera called Brimstone. He’s the Devil, they say, but Karou only knows him as Brimstone. The creature who took her in and cared for her as a baby. A chimera is a combination of animals and human and there are more fantastical combinations… Read more »

Retrograde: Week In Review #2

Retrograde is a weekly meme I do to look back on my week and look back on a favorite book and reintroduce it to the world. This week my pick is Watership Down by Richard Adams. Today this book is a classic, but when I first read it, it was pop fiction! I was in 4th grade and my language arts teacher recommended it to us. As I was trying to think of another new adult book that I could resurrect from the past, Watership Down wasn’t the first book on my list. But when I started to think about it more critically, the characters, who are all rabbits, if you’ve never read the book, are actually little bunny versions of new adult people (in their own little rabbit way). You see the main characters are Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig. They are part of a big warren of rabbits (a… Read more »
