Wishlist Wednesday #1

Wishlist Wednesday is a book blog hop where we will post about one book per week that has been on our wishlist for some time, or just added (it's entirely up to you), that we can't wait to get off the wishlist and onto our wonderful shelves.

My choice this week is The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee.

Goodreads Synopsis:  Sixteen-year-old Rinn Jacobs has secrets: One, she’s bipolar. Two, she killed her grandmother.

After a suicide attempt, and now her parents' separation, Rinn and her mom move from California to the rural Ohio town where her mother grew up. Back on her medications and hoping to stay well, Rinn settles into her new home, undaunted by the fact that the previous owner hanged herself in Rinn's bedroom. At school, her classmates believe the school pool is haunted by Annaliese, a girl who drowned there. But when a reckless séance goes awry, and terrible things start happening to her new friends—yet not to her—Rinn is determined to find out why she can’t be "touched" by Annaliese...or if Annaliese even exists.

With the help of Nate Brenner, the hunky “farmer boy” she’s rapidly falling for, Rinn devises a dangerous plan to uncover the truth. Soon reality and fantasy meld into one, till Rinn finds it nearly impossible to tell the difference. When a malevolent force threatens the lives of everyone she cares about--not to mention her own--she can't help wondering: who should she really be afraid of?

Annaliese? Or herself?

The Unquiet sounds so so good! I love the cover so much! It's all intriguing and eye popping I would so want to see it in real life! And the sypnosis sounds all creepy and interesting! It has layer of suspense I so want to read and I'm loving everything about this book! And you might know I'm loving psycological thrillers in the YA so I have high hopes for The Unquiet!

Top Ten Tuesday (#3): Beach Reads!

Top Ten Tuesday Is Hosted @ The Brooke And The Bookish!

Today's Theme is: Beach Reads which I super excited to share since its summer is here! Hope you get inspired by my great Beach Reads you could pick up! :D

Top 9 Beach Reads I'd Recommend (In no specific order)

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The book was flat out funny at times, heart breaking, and fluffy! I would so re-read The Selection again since it was a quick and great read!

Anna and The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I have yet to read Stephanie's books! *walks away* I know, I know you saying why the heck are you recommending it then? Well with all the hype on about it being the Perfect Beach Read I had to recomend it! It looks so cute!

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen

I completely liked The Fine Art of Truth or Dare a lot! It was funny, sweet, and full of laughs! It's the perfect read to kick start your summer :)

Rival by Sarah Benneth Wealer

I loved this book so much! It was one of my top reads last year after picking it up at the library randomly. I loved the characters, the rivalry, and everything! I can tear through this book really quick! It's about a girl and another girl who used to be best friends till the popular one back stabbed her in front of everyone, the rivalry sparks and you'll be blown away!

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

I love this book and Richelle Mead! Sydney Sage is an alchemist, a group of humans who dabble in human and vampire affairs to keep the gap of their existence safe. Sydney protects Jill, sister of Lissa(remember her? From VA?) posing as humans in a boarding school, action, love, intrigue, and laughs make it a great paranormal read!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

13 Reason Why by Jay Asher was one of the most poignent and heart-wrenching book I ever read. Hannah Baker, a girl whom everyone thinks is normal is wrong. She commited suicude and she leaves tapes for each person who was a reason why she wanted to end her life. I loved the whole idea and Clay and Hannah's POV were perfect, no doubt. :)

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

A road trip book is ideal for that beachy, summery read you need. And for Amy and Roger's Epic Detour it was perfect. I DNF the book, only stopping at page 40 but still the story, mood, characters where so real and I need to read this! :D

Reunited by Hilary Weisman Graham

Reunited is that type of book you just want to read and be absorbed by the story. And Reunited is a road trip book just like above. It's about 3 girls ex-besties whom are all reunited for one road trip that brings them closer to each other with just 3 tickets. I'm really looking forward to reading it!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

Ooh Rachel! You are a amazing writer I feel in love with last summer when I picked up Hex Hall. Sophie Mercer and amateur witch is sent to Hex Hall a school that trains her kind to harness her powers. But a threat turns to shape Sophie's future and her kind. It's super witty, snazzy, and funny! You'll laugh no matter what, guarantee! :)

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent was a thrill to read! It's amazing and awesome all at the same time and since it was similar to The Hunger Games, which kick start my summer I had to put Divergent here! No doubt it was my fave of 2011 and it will blow you away! Read it and find out for yourself if you haven't! Which you probably have....0.0

That's my Top Ten Tuesday, What's Your Top Ten Tuesday?

Pages: 374 pages

Source: Bought From Barnes and Noble

Goodreads Synopsis:

Goodreads Synopsis:  Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.

Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.

A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

Welcome to Day 2 of Dystopian Romances! Check my first review for Eve by Anna Carey HERE as part of my 3 Day Dystopian Week! :)

My Review:

Under The Never Sky had the potential for a total kick-ass, awesomesauce dsyoptian but I didn't deliver for me. I just really wanted to love it so much with all the reviews going on but reading it was hard reading this book! *sighs* I was waiting for the action to kick up and start but it felt flat. But the ending had me rushing till the end and I'll definetly be reading the next book, Through The Ever Night. :D

Under The Never Sky is about a girl named Aria who lives in an enclosed part of  Reverie. She's been waiting to contact her mom after a message she sent through her Smarteye [there super cool!]. She's a Dweller safe in her pod from all the harm outside. The "outside" also known as The Death Shop is full of horrors Aria can't imagine. Safe in the walls she likes to explore the Realms, which are absolutely amazing! I would so love to live in them! You can be underwater having a tea party or be on Mount. Evereast with shorts. You can control the enviroment based on your Smarteyes, which are just as cool. JUST SAYING. :P

Aria is waiting to talk to her mom since leaving to go to Bliss for some DNA research. [which you will later discover what it is by the end] But the connection link to Bliss is down and Aria starts worrying. She must find out what happened to her mom and so she gets close to the son of the head of Reverie’s security. They break into Ag 6, a disabled pod in hopes. This is the first time Aria discovers fire. She and a few others get caught, but Aria is the one to blame and is sent to the Death Shop to die.

Then comes along Perry. The super-swoon worthy character who came from the wild with his scars and fierce battle tactics and they way he cared for Aria was perfect! Aria came from a fragile world block from all the violence outside then Perry comes and the romance starts. But look it wasn't INSTA-LOVE like typical YA Books nowadays. I love the romance and it was a high point for me in the book! *claps*

But what totally turned me off was Perry and his family issues. He's the younger brother of the Blood Lord. The only reason he comes home is his love for his nephew, Talon. Perry come from a line of hunters that have a sharpened sense of everything: taste, sounds, smell, and I would so love to have them! Perry thinks he can take control of the tribe but he also worries for Talon's feelings. This part in the book just made me want to throw the book against the wall! *eye roll* I really was expecting more from Perry side, but ended up flat. *sighs again*

Now, a Dweller and an Outside come face to face as they both journey together. They learn trust, love, and secrets exposed in the brink of society. I was happy with the ending actually! It was suspenseful and action packed and left me hanging on a thread for the next book! I would read the next one just because of the end. Aria and Perry know their bond can't happen but it does. And everything is on the line for both of them.

Overall, Under The Never Sky could have been better in my opinion. It had so much potential and didn't deliver. It's a good dystopian but nothing so popular like Legend by Marie Lu or Divergent. But still Veronica kept up the pace for me to read the book
and I can't wait to see where Rossi takes Perry and Aria! :)
