What's Next (#2)

 

I really need your guy's pick to what I'm reading next! My recent reads weren't that great and I need to find out what my next read is! So help and vote! :)
 
 
My Top 3 Picks:
 
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side (Jessica, #1)
Jessica's Guide to Dating On The Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey

Goodreads Synopsis:  The undead can really screw up your senior year ...

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancĂ©. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction.




The Raven Boys by Maggie Steviater
The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle, #1) 

Goodreads Synopsis:  “There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to
her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before.



Born at Midnight by C.C Hunter

Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls, #1)
Goodreads Synopsis:  Don’t miss this spectacular new series that will steal your heart and haunt your dreams, Welcome to Shadow Falls camp, nestled deep in the woods of a town called Fallen…

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.

Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…

Breathtaking and Free Of Pain: Gltich - Heather Anastasiu

Glitch (Glitch, #1)Glitch by Heather Anastasiu
Date Released: August 7th 2012
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Pages: 371 pages
Date Read: August 10, 2012
Format: Paperback
Source: For Review
Goodreads Synopsis:  In the Community, there is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from the Link network.

When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.


As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.

In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.




My Review:
Tagline: "A world free of pain and emotions, Glitch was dazzle you with it's love triangle and action"

Glitch was a stunning 2012 debut novel! I immediately dived into it after receiving it for review and I really liked it a lot. There was action, suspense, and a love triangle. I was surprised how it turned out that I enjoyed a sci-fi novel with some dystopian mix, I'm liking the sci-fi genre a lot! :) I was expecting the classic dystopian novel but there was just a little more that still keeps you interested
 
“You've felt it, haven't you? Those feelings that seem to get so big in your chest, like something is so beautiful it aches?”  
 
Zoe, a girl who lives in a Community free of pain and war starts to glitch. Glitching means abnormalities and Zoe starts to freak out since its not normal to glitch and it also means being deactivated and burned. Zoe was relatable and I liked her a lot! She was kick-ass and takes control of her situation. Not to mention she also meets Adrien, a mysterious guy from the Uppers who she should talk to but does of course *hits head* 
 
The world was kinda confusing at times and needed to be fleshed out more. The V-Chip, a chip installed in the back of your head shuts your emotions and feeling from coming out, could have been explained better. But the idea of the book was unique and fresh! I also think the romance with Zoe and Adrien was a bit of INSTA? O_O I also didn't like Max and at all. He was pushy and aggressive and didn't trust Zoe at all!
 
Zoe's powers were really cool! She could move objects with her mind, Adrien can see the future, and Max could change into anyone and be them, which were amazing and cool! I really want to see more action scenes with these powers! Overall, I really liked Glitch, it was a surprising and even though I thought it  would be the normal dystopian novel, it wasn't! :D Definitely pick it up if your a fan of Beth Revis's Across The Universe or any sci-fi junkee!

Waiting On Wednesday (#9) - Pivot Point


 
Waiting On Wednesday is Hosted by Jill @ Breaking The Spine
 
 
This week I'm gushing about and waiting for: Pivot Point by Kasie West!
 
 
Pivot Point
 
 
Goodreads Synopsis:  Addison Coleman's life is one big "What if?" As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It's the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie's parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with–her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the "Norms," or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it's not.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school–but she never wanted to be a quarterback's girlfriend. When Addie's father is asked to consult on a murder in the compound, she's unwittingly drawn into a drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she's willing to live through...and who she can't live without




WoW! This one sounds so so good! I love dystopians and there's no doubt I wouldn't pick this one up at all! There's romance, action, and suspense and a cover I can't stop starring at I must pick this book up and you should too! P.S Kirsten White blurbed on the cover so doesn't that mean this is going to be amazing? :D

 
Pivot Point will be hitting shelves "Feburay 12, 2013"

First Day At High School! :)


Could I Freak Out More? 0.0

As all you know I'm a freshman in high school as of today! I just finished my first day and it was weird, awkward, and exciting all at the same time! I'll try to make as much time to make to update this blog and to spruce it up time to time and to be back in the bloggingsphere! I'll miss doing this and my Goodreads Bookclub! :(




Now, onto how the first day went! Well, I woke up around 5:00 just to get ready, by the time I had to wait for the bus and I headed to school. I was seriously freaking out. I didn't hit me I was in the school this was really IT! But I kept calm and the day went pretty good. But there were a few people that where just plain weird! Like just for my last period, English there was this girl that could not stop talking! I just really wanted to hit her so bad but I hate to make a bad impression.
And I was like okay... O_O


So then we move to the next table and there are ike two papers on there and she goes like "What are the F*** are you doing with my paper? That's mine, you stealer!" And she goes off with a red face the whole day! People these days -___- Other than that I really wished I went to the high school I wanted to go to where everyone I know is there! But really have to make friends and keep this blog up! :D Wish me luck!


Bye Guys! I'll see you later and I'll be updating on Goodreads and Twitter! :)
