Synopsis

In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.

Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who’s bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.

Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn’t mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn’t: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…

What am I waiting?

This sounds very intriguing. I haven’t read much supernatural lately and this sounds perfect for me.

Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

Apr 1, 2014

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten “Gateway” Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

I have given you, a little explanation on why these books and authors are in my reading journey, and like always these are in no particular order.

1. The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling: This series got me into reading. I was about 6ish when my mum first started reading this series to me and ever since then I have loved reading.

2. The Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead: I never stopped reading really, just didn’t read as much through my primary school years but in my first year of High School I picked up the Vampire Academy books and my love for reading was cemented.

3. Just Listen by Sarah Dessen: I had never read any contemporary before reading Just Listen and after reading it, I really started to move into reading contemporary.

4. John Green and Katie McGarry: The emotions that they captures in their books, the depth of their characters and story line. Has just made me fall in love with those happy yet so heart breaking novels

5. Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: I was never one for Dystopian but after reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, it’s become one of my favourite genre’s

6. Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi: Again another one of those Dystopian books that made me really love the genre

7. Angelfall by Susan Ee: I use to adore any books to do with Angels, but after a while the story line just kept on repeating it’s self then I found Angelfall and wow, made me fall in love with Angel’s once more.

So that is it for this week. yes, yes I know it’s not Ten, but so far in my life these books and authors have helped me on my way with my reading journey. Who and what books have and are on your journey?

March Book Haul 2014

Mar 29, 2014

I just love sharing all the new books or bookish related items such as swag etc that I get throughout the year. So at the start of each month I will post what I bought throughout the previous month or received from either publishers, Netgalley, from people or won in giveaways etc. For example at the start of September, I make a post about what books or bookish Swag I bought or received throughout the mouth of August. I would also like to hear what books you also bought throughout the month as well, maybe we bought something the same.

This is the second month that I haven’t brought any books. I know wow. It’s just that I am saving up for a Holiday that I am going on in January next year and as I don’t work I need to save everything that I get. But I did receive 5 books this month.

From Publishers
– Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover (Thank you Simon & Schuster AU)
– Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor (Thank you Harper Collins YA)
– On The Fence by Kasie West (Thank you Harper Collins YA)

Won
– Afterworld by Lynnette Lounsbury (from Speculating on SpecFic)
– Half Bad by Sally Green ( Which I received at the Vampire Academy Movie Meet)

Bookish Items
– Recipe cards from Rachel Harris

I had my business cards this month which I am so in love with.

I also become a dymocks booklovers member and received my card this month.
