New Release: Shadows (Lux #0.5) by Jennifer Armentrout

Hey everyone, guess what's out today!
That's right. Shadows (Lux #0.5) has just been released as an ebook. This tells the story of Daemons' brother Dawson. So excited to read this one. Loved Obsidian so I have a feeling I'm going to love this one just as much.



Goodreads Summary:
The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane. Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in. Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

Cover Reveal: Inbetween (Kissed by Death #1)


Goodreads Summary:
Since the car crash that took her father’s life three years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option. 

It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left...his soul.



Came across the cover for this today and I have to say I'm really liking it. The synopsis has me very intrigued and I can't wait to read this book.


Due to be released August 2012

3.5/5

Fantastic!! That is the only way to describe this book. I loved it so much I didn't want it to end.

I am a major fan of werewolf books and this one ticked all the right boxes. It had suspense, romance, action, and a whole lot more. I was on the edge of my seat while reading it.
The story follows Charlotte as she tries to understand what is happening to her. Ever since she was attacked by an animal when she was young, she has had the feeling of being followed. By wolves. She doesn't know whether it's post traumatic stress or if she really is being followed. Then she meets Liam. And her life is turned upside down.
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. There were so many twists and turns I didn't know what was going to happen next. The story line was amazing. It was really unique and the writing just flowed. I loved the characters, they were such a crazy group of people. I loved them all.

One thing that did annoy me though was the love story. For most of the book Charlotte keeps jumping back and forth between trusting and fearing Liam. Then all of a sudden she says she loves him. I don't get it. How can she say she loves him if she doesn't even know if she can trust him. Confusing but I got over it. Everything else in this book was amazing that I was able to overlook that little annoyance.
I don't know if this is the first of a series but I really, really, really hope it is! There were so many things left unresolved and questions left unanswered. I want more! Please let there be a second book!!

Anyone who loves a good werewolf book needs to get this one! Seriously!! :)

“Maybe you shouldn’t kiss me,” I whispered.
“I’d rather die.”
My chest swelled and every wall in me crumbled.
