Waiting on Wednesday #14


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on.....


Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Released on:
April 3rd 2012
Add it: On Goodreads.

Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?

Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

Thoughts:
I'm yet to read a book by this author, however this one's been floating around the blogosphere for a while now and I love the sound of it. Ismae's story sounds like one that features a kick ass heroine in an awesome setting and add in some deadly games of intrigue and treason and a possible romance and you got yourself a great story!


What are you waiting on this week?


Be sure to let me know.....

GIVEAWAY!



Before. Everything was so much better Before. I wasn’t haunted by nightmares, my place at school was secure and my face was flawless. Now, I’m a freak and everything has changed. The worst part is that I can’t remember the night I was sentenced to the shadows. The memory has been stolen from me and I just can’t shake the feeling that someone, something is out there -watching.

Just when I think I have my life handled, Sam, with his intimidating golden stare and shiver inducing voice, makes me realize that I don’t know anything. He makes me see that my scars don’t matter. That they never mattered. I can’t help but fall for him, completely unknowing that he knows exactly how I got this way. Not knowing he was involved.


***
Heven has no idea how closely death stalks her. She has no idea what I have done to keep her alive. I fear the day she learns my secrets, finds out what I really am. But even then I cannot stop, I vow to make things right. Finally her hunter will be hunted, Heaven and Hell, faith and sin will battle, and we will be victorious. But first, Heven must learn to be what she never imagined. I know her strength is there – I feel it. If we are to overcome all odds, she must push past her flaws - her frailties - to become much more.

Review:

Cambria Hebert’s novel Masquerade is a mysterious, enticing read that will having you wondering until the very last page!

I admit it took a tiny while for this story to pick up, but once it did, I found myself very engrossed. The story focuses around Heven, a normal teenage girl who was in an accident that changed her life, one she doesn’t remember and yet still bears the scars of. Nothing seems to be getting better or changing, until Sam walks into her life and changes everything......

Told in duel perspectives, this book is one that will have you guessing the entire way through and with plenty of twists and turns, you’ll never be bored. There’s a real aura of mystery surrounding this novel and as the reader you don’t know exactly what is going on for a long time. The author throws hints and clues in as she writes; catching your interest more and making you wonder just what exactly is going on. The book progresses at a steady pace and the story is constantly evolving. The myths and lore in this book are very much unique to it and it is a refreshing change from a lot of books out there. You never really know what’s going to happen next.

Heven is a decent heroine to read about. She’s been through a great deal recently and her life has changed a lot. She’s plagued by nightmares and fears over an accident that she can’t even remember and as you watch her struggle with her insecurities, you can really see as she evolves throughout the book. She grows as a character, thanks a lot to Sam, but she also learns to accept herself more, even as her world is continuously changing. I think Heven’s fears and problems are very natural and I think even with the supernatural aspect to this book, readers should be able to emphasise with Heven’s insecurities.

Our male lead and love interest, Sam is not that much different from other male leads out there, however I don’t feel this lessens his appeal. His personality and fierce protective nature fit in well with the story and his devotion to Heven shines throughout the book. He’s a mystery for the first half of the story as the author continues to keep us in the dark about Sam’s nature and past, but as everything progressed and we came to lean what Sam was I really came to see Sam in a different light. He’s haunted by what he is, but he doesn’t let it rule him and I feel like he will continue to grow in future books.

With dangerous enemies, teen angst, and supernatural abilities, Masquerade proves to be a thrilling read. Heven’s normal world blends with Sam’s paranormal one beautifully and as this chapter of their journey draws to a close an endless supply of questions and mysteries leaves me eager for this next book!

Blog Tour: Cold Blood by Heather Hildenbrand Excerpt and Giveaway! *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*



Welcome to my stop on the Cold Blood Blog Tour!
Cold Blood is the second book in the Dirty Blood series by Heather Hildenbrand and is, if I do say so myself, even better than the first book!

Today I have the pleasure of offering you an except from the book and one follower will win an ecopy of Cold Blood in their choice of format, but first, please head over and check out my review of Cold Blood here!




Cold Blood



Wood Point Academy is not at all what I expected. For one thing, it looks like a cross between military school and Buckingham Palace. Everyone stares, the floors shine so bright you can see your reflection in them from a mile away, and no one smiles. Unless they're kicking your butt in the process. Which happens more often than not for the freshman. Lucky for them, my presence has just stolen the spotlight, and they get a break from the daily joys of hazing. At least I've got plenty to take my mind off the fact that my psycho cousin, Miles De'Luca, keeps calling and declaring his love and promising to come for me just as soon as he's destroyed anyone standing in our way. Wes isn't going to like that idea. So between Miles, Wood Point's evil welcoming committee, and the drill sergeant hottie trainer from hell, I just keep asking myself, how did I end up here?





Excerpt!


Professor Flaherty turned to me with a knowing look. “Not what you expected for a combat teacher am I right?”

For a second I thought she was talking about Alex and I didn’t know what to say, but then I realized she was gesturing to herself. “Oh, no, I guess not,” I admitted.

She smiled wider, which lit her face and hair, making it all seem to glow. It helped soften the sharp glint that she wore in her eyes. “Then again, if we’re being honest, you’re not what I pictured either, for the daughter of a legend.”

I opened my mouth to ask her what she’d meant, but a movement behind her cut me off. An object was sailing through the air, heading straight for the back of Professor Flaherty’s head. I opened my mouth to yell a warning but there wasn’t time.

Professor Flaherty twisted and her hand shot out, grabbing the object out of the air just before it made impact against her skull. She held it up and frowned. It was a rock the size of my fist. Her smile disappeared, replaced by a scowl that intimidated me far more than any other teacher I’d ever had, and turned back to the rest of the class.

“Who did this?” she snapped.

“Sorry Professor Flaherty. I was aiming for Justin,” called a male voice from a few rows back. I caught a glimpse of a jock-looking guy with messy brown hair, smiling apologetically.

“Your aim is atrocious, Levi,” Professor Flaherty responded.

She stepped further into the room, motioning for me to join her, and set the rock on her desk, the incident already forgotten. I stared, trying to understand how almost getting your skull bashed in was no big deal.

“Class, this is Tara Godfrey,” Professor Flaherty said, placing a small hand on my shoulder. “She’s new here, and I expect every single one of you to treat her like you would anyone else.”

Quiet snickers and mumbled words followed as I shuffled to my seat. A foot shot out a few rows in, and I barely missed face-planting in the aisle as I stumbled and slid into the empty desk. I got another round of snickers and laughter. If Professor Flaherty noticed, she didn’t comment. I glared at the kids around me until they looked away.

Up front, Professor Flaherty gathered papers and files while she talked. “We’ll be working outside today, so go ahead and assemble on the lawn. I’ll meet you out there in a couple of minutes.”

Smiles appeared and a couple of whoops went up around the room as kids jumped up and began filing out a side door. I took a step in that direction, but Professor Flaherty’s voice stopped me. She was bent over her desk, rummaging through its drawers as if she’d lost something.

“Tara, hang on, and I’ll walk with you,” she said without looking up.

“Oh, I’ll walk her, Professor Flaherty.” A boy hung back in the doorway, a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes. He wore old jeans – not ratty, but worn and comfortable, and a shirt that said something about the 17th annual science fair scrawled on it. His backpack was filled to overflowing and looked like it weighed more than he did.

“Mr. Sandefur,” Professor Flaherty said, barely glancing over before going back to her search. "That’s fine. I’ll be there in a minute.”

Review: (Warning: Contains some spoilers)

Cold Blood proves to be a delightful follow up to Dirty Blood. In this book author Heather Hildenbrand expands on her world and a change in setting marks a new direction for the series. New characters mingle with old as Tara begins the next phase of her life at Wood Point Academy, training school for hunters. New friends and new enemies come into play as Tara’s situation begins to become even more intricate and dangerous.

Things have sure changed quickly for Tara since the last book ended and she soon finds herself enrolled at Wood Point Academy where almost all the students look down at her and dislike her seeing as she’s part were-wolf. Lucky for Tara she soon strikes up a friendship with the nerdy, but very capable Logan and the spirited, mischief-making Cambria and soon these two misfits are her solace and strength in a school far different than what she’s used to.

I love Tara’s new friends. I enjoyed the ones she had in the first book, but the friendship she shares with Logan and Cambria is different. It’ more substantial and Cambria is awesome—a true friend to Tara. They seemed to form a bond really quickly and they just went together as friends real well. That’s exactly the kind of friendship I love to read about.
In the very beginning of the book I found myself really missing Wes. Apart from a brief appearance in the very start, right before Tara heads off to the academy, he’s not in it all too much. I was slightly disappointed in Tara at this point too, because it seemed as though she wasn’t even missing Wes all too much. Makes sense that if I have to miss him, she should too, right? She thought about him occasionally, but it didn’t seem like she missed him in the way I was expecting her too. And I wasn't sure if I thought that was a good or a bad thing....

And then.....Alex happened. He came into the picture, arrogant and cocky and totally a hunter through and though and suddenly all thoughts of Wes flew from my mind. He was chosen to train Tara, but kept getting on her bad side; offending her and being a bit of an ass and suddenly I didn’t miss Wes any more. I didn’t miss him at all. I enjoyed the interactions between Tara and Alex. With their difference of opinions it was no surprise the issues it caused, but as they got to know one another and train together, I found myself eager for their banter and to see Alex get under Tara’s skin. I loved Wes in the first book and thoroughly enjoy his relationship with Tara...but I think I’m switching teams in this scenario. I’m now officially an Alex girl! There’s just something about him that's so alluring and I can’t help but want him to succeed in winning Tara’s heart.

Tara has feelings for both boys now and with her connection to Wes messing with her mind and feelings, she’s unsure of how real her feelings are. I can see Hildenbrand continue to play with this situation and explore her characters more in the next book and look forward to seeing how things play out. Personally I know who I love and it’ll be interesting seeing Tara decide who she does.

An action packed read, all of great characters, humour, romance and never lacking adventure, Cold Blood races through a number of impressive battles to a killer ending that will have you hanging out for the next book! This isn’t one to be missed!

Review of The Black Hand Ball in Sydney



Welcome to the Becca Fitzpatrick Aussie Blog Tour! Today you're going to hear all about The Black Hand Ball in Sydeny and discover just what happened!

The next stop on the tout will be at:


Shirrleyy's Bookshelf, where Shirley is giving away a complete set of Becca SIGNED books!


And don't forget to head over to:


Tales of the Inner Book Fanatic TODAY with Erin and find out Becca's Top 10 Books!


And here we go.....


I’ve only had the pleasure of attending a few author signings or events since I’ve began reading, but I can say without a doubt that The Black Hand Ball is the best one I’ve ever been to. Everything from the incredible people I met there, to the atmosphere and the amazing Becca Fitzpatrick herself not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. And then some!



(The decorations and when people started arriving)


I’ve been looking forward to this event for quite a while, so I was anxious to get there. So anxious in fact that I dragged my mum (who is just the best for always attending these kinds of things with me) there an hour earlier in the rain, and we arrived before everything was even set up. Seeing the Ball before it was set up and the transformation it undertook was incredible. The Establishment and the team over at Simon & Schuster out did themselves with the decorations and setting! It was simple, yet elegant and set the night.

(Me and Caroline)


Begin there early also gave me the chance to meet Caroline straight away and let me just say...ahhh! Caroline Payne is even more awesome and beautiful in person than she is over email! It was fantastic getting to talk to her and being able to put a face to the personality who has been so wonderful to me since I’ve started working with Simon & Schuster as part of The Rest Is Still Unwritten. Caroline talked to me for ages and we chatted a lot during the night, even as the poor girl ran around organising everything the entire time. She was so lovely and easy to talk too—just amazing.

(Me and Marketing Director of Simon & Schuster Lou Johnson)


Throughout the night I also had the chance to meet, talk and even dance (yes we danced!) with some of the other vibrant ladies at Simon & Schuster and let me just say they are all incredible people! They were so fun and hilarious to be with. I met the amazing head of Simon & Schuster; Marketing Director Lou Johnson early on in the night and she just so friendly and warm and certainly knew how to party. Lou talked to me a few times during the night and I made sure to get a picture, although it came out a tad blurry. Wah! My camera played up on and off during the night *sigh*


(My lovely signed books. Aren't they pretty?)


Yet the best part of getting there early was that I got to meet Becca BEFORE the event began! There were only two other fans there when she arrived and Becca signed our books early for us and then sat chatting with me for about 20 minutes. Honestly, she has to be the nicest, friendliest author I’ve ever met and you could tell how happy she was to be there. She was so natural and relaxed off the bat and she really lit up the room. She told me briefly about her time in Australia and some of the signings she’d been too.


(People mingling)




(Me and some of the angels)


At this point people had begun to arrive and soon the party began! The music began to pulse and then the Angels descended. Ha! I might add hot, sexy angels that went about serving drinks to everyone and who were more than happy to pose for photographs. And yes, I made sure to get a photo...or three, with some of them. The guys themselves were really friendly and open and everyone there was already having a great time.

(Talking to fans)


Becca mingled with the crowd straight away, talking to fans and even signing some books for fans there as well as posing for photographs. All the fans were so happy and excited and it was easy to talk to everyone, I even made a couple of friends that I spent the night talking to which was awesome. I mean, who doesn’t wanna be able to gush about books at these kinds of things?

Finger food was offered by the many waiters (not angels) that went around serving and it was delicious! I admit I didn’t eat that much as I was caught up in the excitement, but what I did have...yum!




(Becca captivated us all!)


Soon Becca took to the stage to talk and the entire crowd was captivated. Becca had an incredible stage presence and shared some funny tales with us, including how she came to write Hush, Hush, her experiences attempting to get picked up and she even told us the inspiration for some of her scenes, characters and plot lines! There are some scenes in series I certainly think differently of after hearing Becca talking and hearing Becca’s teenage experiences that were the inspirations for some of her funnier scenes defiantly made me smile. Then Becca answers some questions posted in by fans and we got a secret message from Patch. Oooooh! And it was good *drools* I recorded the whole thing, but I’m not going to post it just yet as I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone else attending the other two balls.




After the message, Becca went and began signing books for everyone. I’d already had my books signed early on in the night, but I wanted to get a nice picture with her. The lines were enormous---practically everyone lined up and it was slow going as Becca took the time to talk to each and every person as she signed books, tickets, post cards and posed for photos.

I’d already met her briefly during the night, but I had the chance to talk to Becca’s agent Catherine Drayton at this point, a wonderful woman who was just so inspiring to talk to. She was so friendly and had some great tips about writing and wanting to be a part of the publishing industry. Oh, and we also got to laugh and giggle about the hot angel servers. Definitely a great woman!


(Massive line!)


Even now the line for signings was massive, so I waited a bit and instead danced with Caroline, Lou (yes, the Marketing Director of S&S danced like a woman on a mission, lol) and some of the other Simon & Schuster gals to kill time and get the party started. There were a few people dancing, but not many and attempts to coax some of the Angels into dancing failed, but all in all it was still fun. I spent a lot of the night with a lovely girl named Paige who I met and I dragged her up to dance and we had a great time as the lines for signings shrunk.

>(Paige (on left) and some friendly faces in the signing line--such nice girls!)


Then when there was a 45 minutes left of signings I jumped in line to get my picture and was able to chat with Paige some more (like a tonne) and other fantastic faces in the lines. We gushed about the Hush, Huh books as well as all our other faves....you know, VA, The Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices and just laughed and talked the entire time the line was moving. Everyone was so happy to be there and the atmosphere was just incredible! People dressed up for the event and looked a million dollars and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a soul in the room that hadn’t had a great time. I know I sure did!

Finally I got my lovely picture with Becca and thanked her for signing my books earlier; wishing her a great stay for the rest of her time in Australia and then it was almost time to go. The event and book signings ran over, but Becca stayed and made sure every book got signed and everyone got a picture and she was so graceful and happy about it---honestly the woman shone!

(Me and Becca!)


Upon leaving we were presented with out goodies bags which contained, well....goodies! The chocolate was to die for and I’m already tempted to dive into the book I got.

And that was it!

I can’t say what the other balls will be like, but Sydney’s was a night to remember! I have no faults with it—none whatsoever. I haven’t smiled or laughed that hard in a long time and it was such a brilliant night.

I can’t thank Dolly and Simon & Schuster enough for putting on such a fabulous event and am so grateful to Simon & Schuster for letting me attend! And of course to woman of the hour, Becca Fitzpatrick herself, for making the night so special with her incredible desire to meet her fans and dedication to making sure everyone was happy.
Thank-you all so much!


And since this is a review, I’m giving it (and Becca =D) Five Patches!





Hehe!

Waiting on Wednesday #13


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking The Spine where you can spotlight an upcoming release that you're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on.....


Kissing Shakespeare by Pamela Mingle
Released on:
14th of August 2012
Add it: On Goodreads.

Miranda has Shakespeare in her blood: she hopes one day to become a Shakespearean actor like her famous parents. At least, she does until her disastrous performance in her school’s staging of The Taming of the Shrew. Humiliated, Miranda skips the opening-night party. All she wants to do is hide.

Fellow cast member, Stephen Langford, has other plans for Miranda. When he steps out of the backstage shadows and asks if she’d like to meet Shakespeare, Miranda thinks he’s a total nutcase. But before she can object, Stephen whisks her back to 16th century England—the world Stephen’s really from. He wants Miranda use her acting talents and modern-day charms on the young Will Shakespeare. Without her help, Stephen claims, the world will lost its greatest playwright.

Miranda isn’t convinced she’s the girl for the job. Why would Shakespeare care about her? And just who is this infuriating time traveler, Stephen Langford? Reluctantly, she agrees to help, knowing that it’s her only chance of getting back to the present and her “real” life. What Miranda doesn’t bargain for is finding true love…with no acting required.

Thoughts:
I've always loved the Elizabethan times, although not usually in my books, but this story just screams at me to read it. We all know Shakespeare....we studied his work in school and learn about him, but this looks like a fantastic new idea featuring the man. I may have to make an exception to my lack of historical and check this one out beacuse....IT....SOUNDS.....BRILLIANT! I mean, awwww, the whole premise makes me wish I had it sitting in my hands right now--so cute!

What do you think? Do you love the sounds of Kissing Shakespeare?

And what are you waiting on this week?
