RELEASE DAY BLITZ - Unlit Star by Lindy Zart
Blurb:
Rivers Young was the popular guy untouchable by reality. He was like a star—bright, consuming, otherworldly. The thing about stars, though, is that they eventually fall, and Rivers Young was no different.
He fell far and he fell hard.
Delilah Bana was the outcast enshrouded in all of life's ironies. Alone, in the d...ark, like dusk as it falls on the world. When Rivers fell from the sky, she was the night that caught him. In the darkness, they found one another. Together they melded into something beautiful that shone like the sun.
Only, the greater the star is, the shorter its lifespan.
Trailer:
EXCERPT:
"You could always come work at the flower shop with me. I'm sure your flower arrangements would be extraordinary."
"You're really not as funny as you think you are, you know that?"
"I'm funnier," I say, poking his stomach. A tiny light blinks above his shoulder and I grab his arms and whirl him around. "Look! It's a lightning bug." I bounce on the balls of my feet.
He looks over his shoulder at me. "You act like you've never seen one before."
"I love lightning bugs," I breathe. "I used to spend hours every summer catching and releasing them."
"Like a true fisherman of bugs."
I squint my eyes at him. "Come on—let's catch some." Without waiting for his answer, I skip forward, turning in a circle as I catch blips of glowing orbs in that magical time between partial dark and full. I spy one in the grass by my feet and reach a hand down, holding still as the bug lands on my fingers. "Go on, little buggy, go home before the storm comes." It flies away, lighting up as it goes, and I smile as I straighten.
His breath tickles the side of my neck as he says, "You are the sweetest version of quirky I have ever had the pleasure of seeing in motion."
I laugh softly. "Thank you. Glad you got to see me in action."
He wraps his arms around my midsection and rests his chin on my shoulder. "Don't ever change."
"I do what I want," I say, just to say it.
Rivers' hold tightens. "That's the exact thing I don't want to ever change about you."

5/5
When I read the blurb for this book I could not wait to read it! I love Sarah’s books and so I knew this one was going to be great. And holy hell was it! I devoured this book!
Out of Control is the story of Liva and how one night changes her life forever. After moving to New York, the people she is staying with are brutally murdered and Liva quickly finds herself running for her life. She makes an unlikely ally in Jay, a car thief, and the two frantically try to shake those who are chasing them. Why are these people so determined to get their hands on Liva? What do they want with her? And will she and Jay be able to make it out of this mess alive?
This book was everything I was hoping it would be. Fast-paced and action-packed, I could not get enough. Everything around me just disappeared and this book took up my entire focus. I was completely sucked into Liva and Jay’s world. There were countless twist and turns, I didn’t know what was gonna happen next or how it was all gonna end. Entertaining and exhilarating, I could so see this being made into a film.
The relationship that builds between Liva and Jay was brilliant. I loved the chemistry these two had. The entire story takes place over the course of a day or so, so there is no insta-love. The romance was very minimal and even though I am a big romantic I felt like any more would have been unrealistic. The amount that was present was more than enough for this story. The book is a standalone but I would love to revisit these characters in the future, to see what they have gotten up to.
A high octane thrill ride that never lets up and will have you on the edge of your seat, this is one book not to be missed.

AUTHOR BIO:
.jpg)
J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label).
She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.
