Review: Drowning by Rachel Firasek

 Title: Drowning (Tears of Sin #1)
Author: Rachel Firasek
Source: Received through book club in exchange for an honest review


Synopsis:

"I dare you."

Those words would change adrenaline junkie, Alice Harrison's life forever. She's a party girl that doesn't believe in love until she meets a man that only writes about it.

Seth James escaped his overbearing father and moved into one of the James family's vacant condos, hoping to create the music he loves in peace. But the fragile calm he's envisioned shatters when a tiny woman with a world full of energy bounces out of the elevator and nearly takes him out.

With the patience of a saint, Seth seeks the dark that keeps Alice from enjoying life. He challenges her to exorcise the demons in her past in order to discover the true meaning of love. But when the walls fall down, the hidden deceptions will bare the ugly truth about a woman drowning in sorrow and a man who may not know how to be her hero.




Review:





Drowning is the first book in the Tears of Sin series by Rachel Firasek. The main character is Alice, a young woman tormented by guilt and bad memories of a painful past. Alice is the type of character that comes with a lot of twisted, emotional baggage. She literally runs into a hot musician named Seth. Despite not wanting a romantic relationship, she can't get Seth out of her mind. It doesn't help that he is her new neighbor.

Seth is a great guy. All he wants is to concentrate on his band – with no distractions. All the band members are great characters. I could see each of them having their own book. Seth is sort of played up to be a “tortured soul”, but his past doesn't really seem that bad. Now Alice – she had the family from hell. She endured years of horrible abuse. It's really dark and twisted.

The book has alternating points of view, which I like. Alice seems a little on the crazy side, so it's nice to read some chapters from the outside looking in. I feel like the book wrapped up too quickly, with the exception of Alice's sister. That particular event in the story was unexpected and just felt weird to me. I really don't know whether to think of her as a good or bad character. Maybe her relationship with Seth's brother was left open-ended for a reason? Anyway, all-in-all the book was an interesting read with a good plot and likable characters. I recommend it to those who like the New Adult genre.

A tattoo gets them in trouble… He will get them out.

After years of cultivating an undercover identity, Brody West is finally off the case and free to live a life of his own. All that time spent in the company of criminals and killers left him a little jaded… and with an identity crisis. He isn’t sure who he is anymore, or who he wants to be.

Book Blitz: Lost in Us by Layla Hagen

Lost in Us by Layla Hagen
Publication date: February 17th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else. A rebound . . .

The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.
Electrifying.
And best not repeated.

James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.

James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.

Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.



Excerpt:

There are three reasons tequila is my new favorite drink.
One: my ex-boyfriend hates it.
Two: downing a shot looks way sexier than sipping my usual Sprite.
Three: it might give me the courage to do something my ex-boyfriend would hate even more than tequila—getting myself a rebound.
"You need someone hot, hot, hot," my best friend Jess says, plunking her glass on the sleek counter and beckoning the bartender to prepare another round.
I grimace as the last drops of liquor burn my throat. "Define hot."
"Tall, tan, six-pack." She spins on her bar stool, turning toward the buzzing room.
"Every polo player at Stanford fits that description," I say.
"Precisely."
She bursts into a torrent of giggles that makes me wonder if I shouldn't accidentally-on-purpose knock over the fresh round of shots the bartender sets in front of me, or my big night might just end up with me carrying an incoherent Jess to our apartment, as usual.
"Stanford's entire team is here. Have your pick, Serena."
I twirl around, facing a sea of people. Of course the entire team is here. Almost every Stanford student is here tonight. Who would miss the first bash of the summer term? For Jess and me, it's the last first bash ever, since we are graduating in a few months. I push my chest forward, the way Jess does it, fully aware that I won’t have nearly the same effect she has. My black tank top, which she insisted I wear, doesn't do me justice, revealing far too much of my barely-there cleavage, despite the definitely-there Victoria’s Secret push-up bra.

Review: Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker

 Title: Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths #1)
Author: K.A. Tucker
Source: Received through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review


Synopsis:

Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen “profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.

Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not beyond repair.

But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgiveable past of his own; one that, when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.




Review:





Ten Tiny Breaths is the first book in the Ten Tiny Breaths series by K.A. Tucker. I've heard great things about this book for awhile now – I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to read it. It's an awesome story with amazing characters and an incredible plot.

The main character is Kacey, a 20 year old broken young woman who is just trying to get by day by day – and take care of her younger sister Livie. Besides for Livie, Kacey lost everyone she cared about in a car accident involving a drunk driver four years earlier. Kacey and her sister decide to make a fresh start in life. They move to Miami and get an apartment. Livie enrolls in high school and Kacey finds a good paying job. They make good friends and Kacey falls for their next door neighbor, Trent. It all seems a little too good to be true.

Trent is a great guy and Kacey is lucky to have him in her life. She is so used to keeping people at a distance, but it doesn't take long before she lets Trent in. There is some crazy sexual tension between them, but Trent is determined that they take things slow. He knows that Kacey has issues, and he wants her to get help before they go too far. Trent has all kind of secrets that he's keeping from Kacey, and just when she thinks that life couldn't get better – it all shatters.

This is a very emotional book. It has many lessons being told – not just about drunk driving, but about forgiveness and getting help when you need it. There's a big twist in the story that surprised me. The last part of the book was pretty intense. I was afraid that the book was going to end in a horrible way, but thankfully there is a happily-ever-after. Livie's book is next in this series, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Cover Reveal: Deviation by Heather Hildenbrand

Deviation, book 2 in the Clone Chronicles

Protect. Obey. Sacrifice.
These words are the mantra of my existence. I’m not sure if it’s Titus Rogen inspiring my desire to go against what I am or my own DNA deviating. All I can think is how Titus will look when he meets his end. It trumps even my wish for freedom. In this moment, I want nothing more than to watch the life bleed from Titus’s body. And I want it at my own hands.
Titus. The Creator.
I stare at my palms. Strength aside, I wonder if I’m capable of taking a life. A human life; one with a soul. And I wonder if that isn’t easier than taking the life of an Imitation. At least humans have souls that live on. What do I have after this? Where will I go? Back into a syringe? Will Titus recycle me? Or will I be lost forever down a lab drain?
We don’t deserve that.
We don’t deserve him.
Deserving and receiving are so very different here. And I am beginning to understand, to beat someone in this world, I‘ll have to play in it.

You’re my twin, my best friend, and leaving you was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I know you don’t understand. Maybe you never will. I hope you don’t, honestly. It would be easier that way. That’s cowardly, I’m sure.

Cade, take care of her. Love her, the way she deserves. The way you always have, for forever and always.

If I could ask you anything, it’s that you remember me as I was, and forget me as I am.

I’m sorry, and goodbye, and I love you.

After spending three years fighting in a war, eighteen-year-old Jack Martin returns home to Philadelphia with his sister Bess, ready to live a life of ease, but what is waiting for them is a task more difficult than any other battle they have fought.

When people start disappearing and the weather turns unusually cold, the city is in a panic. They believe the war angered a deity and that the disappearances are the sacrifices, but who will be next? When presidential hopeful James Monroe is targeted, all clues lead to the mysterious secret society known as Levitas. It is up to Bess, Jack, and their team of Phantoms to uncover a dark and winding plot that reaches further than they could have ever imagined. As their journey draws them deep into secrets of the past, Bess and Jack may come to find that a normal life is not possible when you are a spy.
