Hexed Hearts by Becca Vincenza
Publication date: April 2015

Synopsis:
Colette had known all her life that she was half human and half werewolf. She had no expectations of a life filled with love and adventure.
Everything changed on her 21st birthday. A curse casted by witches centuries ago set things in motion, things she could have never imagined. A past that Colette has no clue about has come back to steal her away.
When Hunter, her destined but very unexpected mate, arrives, she is at a complete loss. She must learn to forget an old love and how to make room for a new love.
The curse is being recast and Colette must stop it in order to save the wolves, all the while finding who she really is.



Purchase:
Amazon / B&N

“Are you ready?” I asked with all the excitement in the world. I felt like a kid again. There could be no cares if one but had some candy at a carnival! Hunter smiled at me. He brought his hand up to my face. His thumb pressed under my bottom lip, pulling it free from my teeth, parting them slightly.
“Always,” he leaned across the table to place a sweet kiss against my lips.
My breath was short as he pulled away, a look of bliss on his face. It took us a moment to redirect our attention back to the sweet treat. Hunter pulled a piece off and I watched him fight with the candy as it began to stick to his fingers. He looked mildly frustrated as it refused to separate. I reached over and tugged it free for him, pulling my fingers back to lick off the residue. I peeked up at Hunter through my lashes, and blushed at his tentative gaze. He shook his head and popped the candy into his mouth. His featured grew pinched as dissolved across his tongue.
“You don’t like it?” I asked.
“It’s because you gave me the girly one.” He bobbed forward and took a bite out of my blue one. I tried to pull it away, taking his cue and keeping things light.
Brat!
He laughed, as I watched the blue started to crystallize where he had licked. I glared at him but the pinched looked stayed on his face.
“I am not a fan of cotton candy.”

Review: Everyday // David Levithan

Review: Everyday // David Levithan 

"Everyday I am someone else. I am myself - I know I am myself - but I am also someone else. It has always been like this."

Each day, A wakes up in a different body of a different person's life. A has no warning or indication about who it will be or where they will live. 
A has made peace with life being this way, and even has adapted simple rules to help him get through each day.
Never get too attached, not to family, not to friends and most certainly not to the place. Avoid being noticed, don't act too out of the ordinary. Do not interfere with the persons lives. 

One day A wakes up in 16 year old Justin's body and meets Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon. And from that moment one all the rules by which A has been living his life go out the window. He has finally found someone he cares about, that he doesn't want to leave behind after just 24 hours, someone who could see him for who he really is and not for the shell he is inhabiting.

This is where the story really kicks in, A not content with just the one day he had with Rhiannon starts to interfere with the lives of others he is living in. Each day he must try see Rhiannon and try to convince her about who and more importantly what he is. 

The book is primarily based on A and Rhiannon's relationship, however the ending does leave it wide open for a second book. Many people don't seem to want a sequel but I for one would love to see a sequel as there seemed to be so many unanswered questions.
Why is A the way he is...?
What will he do to regain his life...?
Is he willing to jeopardise the life of someone else to get what he wants...?
What makes a person a person at the end of the day... Would we really notice if one of our family members or friends was A?

My first thoughts after finishing the book were scrambled and I didn't actually know if I liked it or not... But after much consideration I have decided I do in fact like it! It was well written and very well put together.. Levithans writing style (which I usually don't favour) suited the story perfectly and he managed to pull off something that could have so easily went wrong.
