Review
I enjoyed this 2nd book in the series, but not as much as I enjoyed the 1st.
This story is about Tess and Jase.
Tess used to be a dancer, however she injured her leg so she is unable to dance now and is at college training to be a teacher.
She is crushing on Jase big time (her brothers best friend) and they even had a secret kiss a couple of years ago, but he was drunk and said it was an accident!
Jase has his issues and doesn't like anyone to know about them, he doesn't have girlfriends and tends to just shack up.
Tess and Jase get together unbeknown to her brother and start to see each other in secret.
I liked the story and eventually fell for Jase, but it took a lot to sway me, he used Tess at the beginning and the back and forth, to and from her I thought was unnecessary, as he came across as a bit of a douche!
Still a good 4☆ read

So I was really excited about reading another Neal Shusterman book, his writing tends to be unforgettable.
I wasn't disappointed at all....phew!
Loved this book, loved the characters, loved the story, loved it!!
Someone (I don't know who sorry) described Neal Shusterman as the Tim Burton of YA books, and that is a really good call.
If you have never read a Shusterman book before, firstly WHAT ?!?!?!
What he does in his books is a little like a college professer in class, he leaves you thinking "what would I do?"
Class......"If you could legally abort your child after the age of 13, just by signing a piece of paper that is legally binding, and that said child,now 15 years old pissed you off BIG TIME one night, would you sign it......what about in anger? would you"............DISCUSS........
^^^That above is what it is like reading Unwind, one of my all time favourite YA books, I haven't met anyone that read it and went mehh, and if you say "that" scene to them, they just nod and shudder, ..........do it, read it.
In Bruiser, we meet Brewster "Bruiser" Rawlins, he is the boy at school you avoid, who never smiles, who never talks, who never looks you in the eye.
We also meet Tennyson and Brontè, twins from a loving stable family.
And lastly we meet Cody, Brewsters little brother.
There is a reason for Brewster (brew for short) being so stand offish, he cannot get close to anyone, otherwise it could literally kill him.
If you had the chance to take someone's pain away would you do it? Where would this end? Bruises, cuts, broken bones?? And who would this stop at, just people you cared for? Just your family? .............DISCUSS. ....
Brontè starts to go out with Brewster, much to her brothers dismay, after all he was voted the person most likely to get the death penalty!
However, a friendship arises between them all and everything is fine, until one day Brontè cuts her hand quite badly...........and then it is gone, and Brewster shows up with a sliced hand!
With a F'd up life living with his abusive uncle, this book shows us all 4 lives as they intermingle with each other, as it is told in 4 POV's one of them being in verse.
Read this book, or something by Neal Shusterman, you will not be disappointed!

So this was an okay read I liked it....but I didn't love it!
Loved Levi and Cath together soooo cute, and that he went at her pace and didn't push her to do anything she didn't want, until she wanted it.
I must admit i skimmed through the Simon / Baz stories as they didn't explain or mean anything, I wasn't quite sure what they had to do with the story, unless it was "last book = real life" afterwards.
The stories were a little too Harry Potter for my liking, but I can sort of see the facination of continuing a story that has ended, but then again, isn't that what a sequel is for!?!?!
Oh and Levi wasn't a stalker boy lol phew!

This book goes in with a bit of a kick, we follow a few days in the life of Ryan Dean (that's his first name, no hyphen!) He is bullied, picked on, and has his head shoved down the toilet, and that's just the 1st chapter!
He is also in the O wing at school for naughty boys and shares a room with a bully.
He has good friends as well though, oh and he's in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a kid!
This book is funny and had some real laugh out loud moments, especially screaming Nedd, which I actually had to rewind and listen to again as it was so funny!
Think about what goes on in a teenage mind....yep it's all there.
And then BAM! I didn't know it was coming and it didn't warn me...........and I cried.
A really good fun, sad read.

Sleep on a floor in a derelict house?
Struggle to feed yourself every day?
Are you underweight due to the lack of food you are eating?
Do you hate being unclean and smelly?
Do you want to be beautiful?
Then all YOU need to do is pop down to PRIME DESTINATIONS and we can solve all of your problems.
Small print …….Prime Destinations will insert a microchip into your brain and hook you up to another person so they can be you, the other person is an “Ender” (an old rich person who age is on average 100 yrs old). Here the Ender will leave their body wired up and enter your body, becoming you for a week/month/year……however long you signed up to rent your body out for. You will of course be paid well for this “donating” and we will also make you beautiful again. Your new body user will sign a contract to make sure that they use your body in the best possible way without damaging it at all
Come on down to PRIME DESTINATIONS to make your dreams of being rich a reality.
Callie is aware of Prime Destinations (the body bank for short!) Her and her brother Tyler are starving, and he is really ill, she finds that she has no choice but to donate her body for a time to get money to pay for her little brothers treatment, and to get enough money for them to maybe buy a home for them both…………This was a bad mistake, she knew it as soon as she leaves Prime Destinations, she knows it as soon as she starts to black out, she definitely knows it when she wakes up with a gun in her hand.!
Good book with a story that kept me engaged all the way through, a couple of good twists too that I didn’t see coming, I will definitely look out for the 2nd book in the series to find out what happens.

Another one on my favourite list, I absolutely love this series.
Yes it's silly, yes it's unbelievable but I love them.
I've already told my GR buddies that I'm moving to Denver, I had LOTS of volunteers to show me the way and come on the love bus haha!
This book is about Vance and Jules aka The Law.
In true Denver style Jules stands no chance after Vance chooses that she is his, and nothing that she does can dissuade him.
This book was a little bit different as near the end we hear the POV from all of the main characters which I loved, and even though this story was just as funny (and sexy) as the others, it seemed a lot more serious.
I can't wait to start the next book, and move onto some of her others to see if they are just as good.

I really enjoyed this book, I was slightly worried as me and PNR do not seem to get on very well, however I was slightly in love with the authors other series and I hoped that this would be as good………..and it was phew!!
Layla lives with the wardens, who are gargoyles and protect the world from Daemons, trouble is although Layla herself is half Warden, she is also half Daemon too !!!
Ms Armentrout tends to write her hot men HAWT, Zane didn’t sound like my cup of tea (although I’m sure I probably wouldn’t kick him out of bed if he farted!!) but Roth PPHHEEWWW!!!! He was smoking hot
Zane is a warden, Roth is a daemon, queue the love triangle, however it wasn’t a roll your eye type of triangle as one of the people involved Layla can not even touch!
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happens as the book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger!
