Intertwined by Gena Showalter

Like my first 'The Time Will Come' I wanted this book for awhile although I could never get it in my local bookstores so I gave up. I ended up getting a voucher from Amazon a few months back and I just had to get it. However I just haven't gotten around to reading it and it's been a few months now!

Goodreads:
There's something about the new guy at Crossroads High…
Most sixteen-year-olds have friends.
Aden Stone has four human souls living inside him:
One can time travel.
One can raise the dead.
One can possess another human.
One can tell the future.
Everyone thinks he's crazy, which is why he's spent his entire life shuffled between mental institutions and juvie
Together they'll enter a dark world of intrigue and danger…but not everyone will come out alive.

Waiting On Wednesday #1

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine in which we highlight a book that we can't wait to be released.

This week my first wow is Inheritance (Inheritance #4) by Christopher Paolini.
We don't have long to wait for this book now as it is published on the 8th November 2011 and I can't wait for it as it's been so long since the last book came out.
It's been that long that I will probably have to do a bit of re-reading so I can remember what actually went on.

Goodreads:
Not so very long ago, Eragon Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider, was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle

Top 10 Tuesday #1

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday everyone involved in the TTT will make a list of that weeks topic.





This week's topic is: Top Ten Book Endings That Left Me With My Mouth Hanging Open
My top 10 are as follows:

1. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini - The ending for this book was rather disappointing as it ended rather abruptly I turned the page thinking there was more to come but it was acknowledgements. I just wanted to know what was going to happen but I guess I will have to wait until the next instalment.
2. Entangled by Cat Clarke - By the end of this book I thought there was a series but there doesn't seem to be. There was so many unanswered questions I was really left with my mouth hanging open.
3. Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater - This ended like Entangled in the way that there was more unanswered questions than answered and it seems it was the last I hope am wrong please let me know if I am.
4. Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel - With this book I thought it was a stand alone book but this one wasn't which I didn't get as it just seemed final and probably wouldn't have made this list but because it is a series as I just can't see where it would go from here.
5. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare - There was so much going on in this book with loads of questions and it wasn't as good as her other books which I was really socked about and I am really scared about reading the rest in this series.
6. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger -  This book was so good I was always hooked and then it ended it was terrible!
7. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins - I loved the first two books in this series. I did enjoy this book too however I hated the ending.
8. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce - Another book I loved until the end it was a little disappointing.
9. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer - This series was what got me back into reading I loved it so much although now it's not as good as what I originally thought but I had to put it on my list because of what it was like when I first read it.
10. Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead - I have completed this series now but at the time I just couldn't believe what was happening. It was also the best in the series it was so gripping.

Book Review: Captivate (Need #2)

Captivate (Need #2) by Carrie Jones

Format: Paperback
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Published: 5th January 2010
Pages: 273
Main Characters: Zara and Nick
Date Started: 1st October 2011
Date Finished: 4th October 2011
Rating Given: ***

Goodreads:
Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town.

A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.

I really enjoyed this book and was looking forward to reading the next one in the series but I found out what happened an it put me off reading it. However I did eventually get it in a swap and I just had to read it to find out what exactly happens.
With it being a while since I read the first one I didn't quite remember what happened but when reading this book it kept reminding me but not in an obvious way it was just little hints which did help.
I did think it was good I just didn't like it as much as I did with the first one as this book was a bit boring and a bit slow to start with. After getting into the book towards the end it goes and ruin's it by something happening that wasn't good. The ending was better and does give me hope that things might get better in the next book.
I liked Zara's character she seemed like a strong person who didn't like being dictated too. I was very impressed in what she was willing to do to help her loved one's. I really did like Nick as well but he did have some annoying traits like the way he kept calling Zara baby it didn't make sense he would call her this with how mach he seemed to be I would have thought he would have found it degrading towards Zara. We also got to meet a new character called Astley who is a pixie who says he isn't evil like the others I still don't know what to make of his claims just yet but I am sure we will find out more in the next book.
Overall a good book but not the best book I have ever read but I will read the next book maybe not just yet though.

It's Monday What Are You Reading? #1

It's Monday What Are You Reading is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey in which we plan our reading week!







                                                                    Currently Reading

                                                     The Juliet Spell by Douglas Rees

Captivate by Carrie Jones

So far I am loving The Juliet Spell more as it has so much more interesting going on and it's the one I can't wait to find out what is going to happen next. Whereas Captivate I don't get that same feeling shame as it's not a bad book.

Reading Next

Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

I can't wait to read these two books and was debating to stop reading what I am currently reading as I just want to read them now but I have decided against that as my current reads are only short so I should be finished with them soon.

September RAK Wrap Up

I only sent out one in September to Kousha.
I unfortunately haven't really received one yet.
I don't know how many I am going to send out in October I hope I will send out at least one but I would love to send out more if I have the money.

On My Wishlist #1

On my wishlist is a weekly event hosted by Book Chick City which runs every Saturday.
This will be where I choose a book that I really really want but haven't been able to get it just yet.

This week on my wishlist is:
Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

Goodreads:

The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

When I first heard about Richelle Mead's new series which is from the same world as Vampire Academy I just knew I would have to get it when it first comes out. That never worked out I am still waiting to buy it but one things for sure I definitely will and I can't wait either!
