Everneath is the story of a girl named Nikki (commonly refered to as "Becks" by her close friends) and her journey after she wakes up from the Feed. For a century, she was in the Everneath with a boy named Cole who 'feed' off her- meaning he drained every emotion she had inside her and used it to prolong his life as an immortal. When the Feed is over, he is shocked at her seemingly normalish behavoir, and she, very confused, pictures the face of a boy whose name she can't remember and chooses to go back and find him.
That is the very, very beginning of the story, but I do not want to give any spoilers away, because part of the journey in reading this book is finding out the clues as Nikki does. I can say that I really enjoyed this book. I felt the ideas of how an immortal lives were very unique, and I thought the mythology attached was a very nice touch. While I am against stories being too predictable, I almost felt in parts that this story was too uncertain, like some of the paths the characters could go on were not defined as well as they could be. Even so, that is really the only big criticism I have for this book. I highly liked it, and I can't wait to read the sequel.

The Sweetest Spell tells the story of an unwanted girl living in a banished community and what happens when she is left with nothing and her town is flooded. The story was very sweet and cute, a simple and touching fairytale. The characters were fun and believable. While it did not keep me on the edge of my seat, it was hard to put down at times, and the romance was adorable. If you like fairytales and fun stories, I would recommend this to you.

Usually, I start reviews off with a brief summary, but go ahead and read the one given so I can get straight to the good stuff.
This is a great book. It is an incredible debut, and a fabulous, fabulous read. The main character is edgy and tough, but also intelligent and caring. The paranormal elements are great; the spin on the world of vampires, warriors, and werewolves is unique and capturing. This is not a book you will soon forget. There is a great balance of action, romance, wit, and mystery to satisfy both genders. I would foremost classify it as a YA paranormal book, but readers of fantasy and those just looking for a good read would most likely enjoy it as well. The romance is not too sudden, nor too slow but progresses at a very normal rate. I wish the bigger mysteries had come into play a bit earlier, but when they did, I couldn't put this down. I can't wait to read the sequel. Great job to the author, and a wonderful debut.

Honest review for ebook: wow. By wow, I mean wow. Where do I begin?
The Moon Dwellers is the journey of a kick butt girl named Adele trying to save her family. Does that sound too overdone? She's saving them after she breaks out of prison, while she tries to make sense of the prince of the Sun Dwellers, aka the oppressors, giving her unintentional intense pain whenever he is around. The Prince, Tristan, is also a victim of their strange pain inducing bond. Oh, and don't forget the Star Dwellers who find bombing the Moon Dwellers to be beneficial. It's not a typical story in any way once you throw all that in.
Adele and Tristan are great lead characters. They are so understandable, and both are killer fighters. The secondary characters are just as good, and all of them make excellent people to follow through the story.
The plot is action packed, intense, tear jerking, and lovable in every way. I couldn't put my ereader down when I was reading this.
Obviously, I would recommend this book. If you liked Hunger Games, the Delirium books, the Divergent books, etc. give this book a try. Even if you didn't like any on that list, give it try. It's a truly remarkable read, and I can't wait to read the sequel.
