I really liked the premise of Chasing Forever Down. I am a big fan of beachy summer books and I like scavenger hunt road trip mystery premise, but the actual book fell a bit short for me. I feel like I am in the minority here though. Chasing Forever Down has a really high goodreads rating and great reviews, so if this seems like the kind of book that you would enjoy, you probably will! A lot of other people really really love the romance and story in this one. It just wasn't for me.
I liked the main character Haley, but she just seemed super impulsive to me. She met a guy at a party with her parents one night and they both really hit it off. I thought that first night they hung out and spent together was really cute, but then he leaves and when she tries to track down who he was she found out that he had "died" years ago. So she decides to track him across the country to figure out what is really going on. It just seemed to sudden and kind of crazy to me. But honestly it wouldn't have bugged me as much if she was all for the mystery aspect of him, but she had to go the love route. She just knew him for a couple of house one night and she loves him so much that she is dropping everything and driving across the country? It just seemed a bit obsessive to me.
The other characters we ok but kind of immature. Some of their dialogue was hard to follow, and Colby's friends all rubbed me the wrong way. I just couldn't really connect with anyone, and that made it really hard for me to get into the story. The girls kept doing stunt after stunt to try and get past all of his bodyguards. It started to make them seem like obsessed stalkers. It just didn't feel realistic to me, but like I said a lot of people loved this one.

Fall with Me was an enjoyable read. It is a fairly short book, at around 200 pages so you can easily read it in one sitting. There were many cute scenes. I loved the dates that Jenna and Sutton went on. The paint-balling date was great. I loved the dynamic between the two of them. Even when they were "pretending" for the sake of their revenge it seemed so real to me.
I felt so bad for Jenna. I can't imagine having a friend or a boyfriend that would do that to me. For me, the whole story was about the romance between Jenna and Sutton. To be honest, I didn't care much about jerk ex-bf or jerk bff. Anyone that would treat me that way is not cool in my book. So I was fine with whatever revenge they wanted to get. And watching them fall for each other along the way was just icing on the cake.
I will admit that I did see the Lacey thing coming a mile away, but even with her explanation, I found it hard to forgive her. And her ex boyfriend is the biggest jerk-wad on the planet. Holy cow. I wanted to punch him so bad. Pretty much any time he was in a scene. Sutton is so different than him. I thought it was crazy that he was even considering that they were similar. At All! Yes, ok Sutton slept with a bunch of girls in Chicago and had more than a few one night stands, but that is completely different than constantly cheating on your girlfriends. Sutton is adorable and loyal and so thoughtful. I felt bad that he was so down on himself. It was clear that he is smitten with Jenna, and I was a bit smitten with him too. I loved that his mom was the one to set him straight at one point as well. It was great.
Fall With Me is not only a lovely romance, but it is also a sort of liberation of Jenna. It was great to see her become herself again throughout the course of the story. She was so upset at the start, but throughout the book she was described as spunky and strong in her past, and by the end of the book I was really happy to say that I saw her become that strong young woman again. Her character development was just as much of a star of the story as was the romance between Jenna and Sutton. While I could have done without the focus on the jerky ex, I did really love Jenna and Sutton.

How I got Skinny, Famous, and Fell Madly in Love is part social commentary, part coming of age, and completely hilarious. I loved all of the pop culture references and the main character, Emery is such a wise ass. I loved her. I lost count of how many times she made me laugh out loud. She does not hold back. At all. She is very self deprecating- it's her coping mechanism. How she deals with her family and the world. Her mom seemed nice enough, but it was easy to see that both of her parents favored Emery's sister, Angel. She was the "pretty" one. It was kind of sad really. But Emery is strong- I knew she would be fine no matter what.
How I Got Skinny, Famous, and Fell Madly in Love centers around a family style reality show and a weight loss competition all rolled into one. If Emery can lose 50lbs in 50 days then her and her family win 1 million dollars. Emery is a total standout star of this book. She is charming, and I loved seeing the story through her. She had an awesome "voice". Ken Baker did such an excellent job with her character development. I could so easily see her being one of my friends. She is really warm and inviting, which is super weird to say because she comes off as brash. But it's in her thought process and her moments when she was alone that I feel like the reader truly gets to know her. Plus, she loves Jenna Marbles- so she is automatically ok in my book.
I am a bit of a reality tv junkie, so of course I ate up all of the "behind the scenes" production stuff throughout the story. And the author, Ken Baker works at E! so I like to think that we are getting the real low down on what goes on behind the scenes with reality tv. Just reading parts of the contract that they had them sign was nuts. But I totally believe it.
How I Got Skinny, Famous, and Fell Madly in Love (man that is a lot to type!) was every bit as addictive as reality tv to read. It was so much fun to read. If you like pop culture, you will love this book. The only kind of sour note for me was the ending. And I will say that it was only half sour. It wasn't what I was expecting, that's for sure. I still have not decided whether I liked it or if I was disappointed with it. I think I need a second book to see what happens! Ken, please make that happen.

Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter seemed like it was a unique take on a vampire story. Aurora Sky is a senior at a high school in Alaska, and she can't wait to get out of town. But before any of that can happen she is swept away by some government agents. Apparently, her blood is toxic to vampires. The premise had so much promise and I can see a lot of people easily enjoying this series. It is a classic young adult paranormal vampire tale. Sadly, the story didn't capture my attention and the characters fell a bit flat for me.
Initially, I really felt for Aurora. My heart really went out to her. She had a hard shake of it at the beginning, but then the more and more she started opening her mouth , the more she started to annoy me. I liked her sense of humor. She was funny, but she was also petulant and immature. I just couldn't connect with her. But at least I liked her more than Fane. I get the appeal of a bad boy, and even more so as a brooding dark and stormy vampire, but Fane just seemed...mean. Again, I think I might be in the minority of this one. I can see him as a guy that people will love, he just isn't my particular taste for a book boyfriend.
The plot of Aurora Sky was a bigger hit with me than the characters, but most of the time it felt blah to me. I wasn't engaged in the story. I liked it, but there were a couple of times that I had to force myself to keep reading. The start of the book was confusing and I didn't know everything that was going on, but because I wasn't as invested in the book, I found myself just not caring as much. The Vampire Hunter series has potential, and I can see lots of teens loving it, but it wasn't the book for me. I don't think I will be continuing this series, but if you love young adult vampire paranormals, you should still give it a try.

I absolutely love the Touched series by Nancy Straight. Centaur Redemption is the fourth book in the series and it comes close to being my favorite book of them all. (Just being slightly edged out by the first book because that was the start of all this awesome-ness.) The Touched series is still the only young adult or new adult book that I have found centering on centaurs. I love the unique-ness of the story, as well as all of the mythology woven in. In Centaur Redemption we even get to see some of the big gods come out and "play".
I think Centaur Redemption and the Touched series as a whole is excellent. There are so many reasons why you should read these books, but here are a few of them.
First, Cami is kick ass. From the very first book, when she was plopped down into the strange world of centaurs and age old traditions, she had no problem causing a scene. Cami is not a girl that is going to do what someone told her to do, just because they told her to do it. I love that about her. She will question everything until she is blue in the face, and then if she still doesn't agree with something, she will take a stand. A lot of that comes to play in this installment. There are action, plotting and fighting galore, so you will get to see plenty of Cami kicking butt and taking names.
Second, I just love how Nancy has portrayed their society. There are 5 male centaurs for each centauride. And the centaurides, the women, are the ones with the real power here. Not only are they the ones that get the cool magical abilities like mind reading, seeing the future, moving objects, etc., but they are the true heads of the family. The men are still powerful and they are warriors and fighters, but the women are revered above all else. How many books have that in them?
Third, the mythology is so interesting. I love how the centaur history is interwoven with the gods. I eat this stuff up! It was really cool to see all the bits and pieces we were learning about the Lost Heard and Zeus come to light in this book. It is all so well written and thought out.
Fourth, the title of this one really says it all. I loved the redemption in the story line. I'm not saying which characters, but your opinion of certain people will change. And while I was a bit skepticle at first, I ended up really really loving what Nancy Straight did with her characters in Centaur Redemption. The ending is nicely wrapped up and left off at a good place. There will be at least one more book in the series though, which makes me very happy. I am not ready to say goodbye to Camille and Drake. Not by a long shot.

Life in a Rut, Love Not Included was a cute, fluffy (mostly), and funny read. Sarah had everything she wanted in life. She had a great job, she had a great boyfriend, and she had a fun, rich roommate that foot the bill on lots of designer things. And then it all fell apart. After 7(!) years with said roommate and boyfriend, she caught them in bed together. So she moved out and quit her job and ended up back home with her parents at 31.
The title of the book is really fitting. This girl was in a rut. Big time. She is just so stuck in the past. She wasn't doing much of anything other than wallowing while she was living with her parents. It took their contractor coming into her life to shake things up for her, and get her moving again. I loved how she met him. She got into a fender bender with him and got into a fight with him in the middle of the road. In fact, they were at each others throats the first 3 or 4 times they interacted. But through another series of unfortunate events for Sarah, Jack learned more than he bargained about her and his attitude towards her started to soften. This was a big turning point for both of them actually.
I loved the way Jack was with Sarah. And I really liked the person that Sarah started to become after spending time with Jack. I felt awful for what she had to go through, but I will admit that I was getting slightly annoyed with her that she just kept going over and over the past. We heard about her boyfriend and the roommate a few too many times. She needed to snap herself out of her rut long before she met Jack. But, once she did start to get moving again it was great to see her passion for marketing and working. She was bright funny and really visionary. I loved this Sarah.
Life in a Rut, Love Not included was a really fun read. Perfect for a nice day outside by the pool. It is a cute love story, and story about how a woman picks up the pieces of her life, and picks herself up again. Jack and Sarah both have hot tempers so there are a few fiery scenes, but they mellow each other out. They work together. Fans of contemporary romance will enjoying watching Sarah get herself out of that rut, and they will LOVE Jack.

Losing Logan made me feel so many different emotions while I was reading it. It was hilarious, sweet, heartwarming, and oh so sad. But even when it was sad, it was lovely. It's funny- I thought I had escaped my sad quota for the day. I was supposed to see the fault in our stars, but after a series of rather unfortunate events my friends and I ended up seeing 22 Jump Street, which was pretty funny! And then I get home and read Losing Logan, and end up crying anyway! I loved the range of emotions that Losing Logan made me feel, and I can't wait to read the prequel novella, Haunting Zoe. I think readers will love the great crew of characters that Sherry Ficklin has created in Losing Logan.
Zoe and Logan used to be childhood friends, but as is often the case they grew up, changed a bit and high school sent them in different directions. Logan went straight for the cool crowd, jock and all. Zoe was more of an outside and kept to herself. She has a razor sharp tongue and she is not afraid to give anyone, and everyone, a verbal lashing. Her only friend was the hilarious Carlos. Carlos is great. He sticks by Zoe and has no problem dishing it back to her, just as fast as she can give it out. I really enjoyed their dynamic as friends.
I feel like Zoe was always kind of hurt by the fact that Logan moved up the social chain and kind of left her in the dust, so when she finds out she is the only one that can still see him, she is slightly reluctant to help him. I enjoyed that nothing in this book felt forced at all. Characters were allowing to have very natural reactions to the situations, and everything flowed great. It was fun to see Logan and Zoe bicker, fight, and get to know each other again. They eventually team up and try to figure out the mystery behind Logan's death. And to do that Zoe must become friends with the popular kids, Logan's old crowd.
It was a unique twist on so many different high school "makeover" type stories. I loved every second of the book. There are more than a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming and a couple of situations where I thought for sure I would end up feeling one way about, but Sherry Ficklin managed to convince me that I felt another about it. I know that sounds really confusing, but I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that Sherry took something I thought I wouldn't like, and she made me a fan. I loved exactly how everything played out. Even though parts were very bittersweet, it was all so well done. This is not a book to be missed.

Blue is such a fun surfer lover's romance. Perfect for the summer and beach time, this book will make you want to lay out on the beach and dive right into the ocean. Blue even made me want to hop up on a surfboard and try to catch a wave. (but let's be honest, I'm not sure I would even be able to stand up. I would spend all my time wiping out.) The book mostly takes place on what is called one of the best surfing beaches in Europe.
Iris is refreshing. She is not the type of girl that would attract your average celebrity. Sure, she is pretty. But she is low key and relaxed. I loved that Zeke was so taken with her. It said so much about the type of guy that he is. Because Iris is a quality girl, and it is impressive that an 18 year old guy that is famous and on top of his game notices quality over all the other girls that are throwing themselves at him. I thought it was adorable to see Zeke around his brothers. It was so cute to see that he had been talking to all of them about Iris. They knew who she was. It was just cute to see them all kind of joke around with him and push his buttons to see him react and admit that he liked her. Iris and Zeke are just the kind of young couple that you will love reading about and rooting for.
The secondary characters are also a treat in Blue. All of Zeke's brothers, Iris' best friend, and her ex Daniel all were prominently featured in Blue. I enjoyed getting to know all of them, and seeing their story lines. I can't wait to see them again in the next book. Another pleasant surprise in Blue is how much you will learn about surfing. All of the lingo, and the description and detail about the sport was fantastic! For example, I learned that if I were to try and learn how to surf that the whitewater would be my friend for a very, very long time!
Lisa Glass did a wonderful job with Blue. The writing was fresh, fun and conversational. It was so easy to just let yourself get lost in this cute beachy story for a couple of hours. The characters were delightful and had a rich depth to them. People are not always what they seem and people often have more going on in their lives and in their past that shape them into the person they are today. You learn a lot of assumptions and changed perceptions of the characters throughout the story. If you are looking for a fun, and beyond cute summer surf romance, look no further than Blue!
