Reader Question – The book about the foster teens being abused by their foster parents…

By 9 Comments

Happy Reader Question day!!! And I already have one ready and waiting for us.  Michelle needs our help with an emotionally angsty (abuse) sounding one, and I KNOW someone here knows which one it is.

In fact… you know what? I feel like I’ve READ this one. I remember a seen or two like this… and the two children bond, and it’s horrific. I KNOW THIS ONE!!! I’ve reviewed it, even. A closet… and a basement come to mind?

Michelle asks:

I’ve already posted on Amazon and hope your readers can help me locate this book regarding Foster Care abuse:

It is an unfortunate story of a teenage girl sent to live with ‘foster parents” who also have a teenage boy and she suspects he is being abused by them. Turns out the horrible foster parents use the boy to ‘abuse’ her in front on them (bedroom, shower).

There is a second book were he is an adult and cuts himself during the act of sex with various partners because of what he was forced to do as a teenage. Any help would be great…I would love to see if this ended up being a HEA for the two unlucky teenagers as they grew up. Thank you!

Anyone know it right off the bat? I’m gonna do a search through my reviews in the meantime.

And while we’re at it, let’s list all the similar-sounding ones, in case more of us are looking for books like these…

Ela: The beginning totally sounded like it could be Bang (book 1 of the Black Lotus series) but the sequels don’t sound what the reader is looking for…

Maryse: I read Bang!!! Yes… possibly why I was remembering this… but I think I’m also remembering another one. But it *could* be Bang… I THINK IT’S BANG!!! (my review)

Amy: Leo by Mia Sheridan reminds me of certain aspects of the description…..

Maryse: Yes! That’s another one that I’ve read (and might be thinking of)…

Chris: Sounds a lot like Never Let You Go (a modern fairytale) by Katy Regnery. Good book.

Kelly: The Surrender Series by Lydia Michaels? Book 1 is Falling In (The Surrender Trilogy Book 1)

   

K. Larson & Mara White – Killing the Sun Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

DARK READ ALERT with an anti-hero!!! Ooooh what a warning by the authors. eek Eeeeeeeeep! And it’s written by two tried-and-true authors (one that shocked the HECK out of me in the past and thrilled me to no end) so you know I’m intrigued (and a little scared!!) of this one! It’s a “serial” BUT!! All three books are coming out in June & July, and super-bargain priced, so barely any waiting required. Just a thrill (and I’m thinking a gasp-worthy one). I hope. 😉 PLUS!!! All three installments are super-bargain priced.

“Six years of a battle that never seems to end. I love him. I hate him.

I am terrified of this man.”

BIKER SERIES ALERT! Lauren just pointed out this biker trilogy and it’s now COMPLETE with the release of the latest book!

“So many readers are going INSANE over this series!!!! So far, in the Amazon Customer Discussions, there’s 560 posts in just ONE thread that started a couple of weeks ago.”

About book #1

She was my obsession.
I was her destruction.

Beth:

My life is not my own. I belong to the family. Every step I make is dictated.
Until him. Skull.
The only man I’ve ever loved. The only man I will ever love.
His touch inflames me.
I can’t stay away—even if I should.
I gave him my body and my heart.
To keep him safe, I will sell my soul to the devil.
The lies began with our hello.
Now, I’m captured by them.

Skull:

There’s an animal in me that I keep hidden.
Beth calls to him. She tempts the monster and lures him to the surface.
I’m obsessed with her. I can’t stay away, even when doing so puts my entire club in danger.
Her blood is on my hands.
I formed her to fit only me.
I was her first and if I have to kill everyone in our way. So be it.
I will be her last.
She is mine.

He is only known as ‘Predator’.

Back to our yesterday’s regularly scheduled programming 😉 :

6:24pm EST TUESDAY BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!! I just added FIVE MORE to the contemporary romance section below. Right at the top of the list so you can’t miss ’em. Includes one CRAZY sounding one by Teresa Mummert, and one a rock star one by Emma Hart and a YIKES OMG!!! sounding one by H.M. Ward. OH YES!!! 😀

It’s ready!! And while the list, as it stands, is VERY pretty and full of book-goodies, I’m going to add-on through the day. There are SO many awesome book-bargains right now, too. Tee hee! So take a look, and keep checking back ’cause I’ve still got more to come.

ALSO!!! Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s EARLY-BIRD RELEASES ’cause, even though it’s short and sweet, it’s got some super-sounding books (that are already sky-rocketing up the Amazon best selling charts as we speak). And that’s including one that I LOVED and just reviewed and highly recommend. 😀 I linked up the review on it, too.

Oh and the ones that gave me a blurb-jolt (or were an absolute one-click for me): Indebted Series 1-3: Boxed Set (yes please! At THAT price, a dark read series that so many here can’t stop talking about – MINE!!), Zane (a vampire & human romance series that sounds right up my alley! She just got divorced and is at a book signing, and HE is at her table!!) Stout (they are new neighbors, thinking they are strangers, but they’ve met before…), His to Love (She’s a mafia princess and he’s her ex… now an undercover cop out for revenge, plus I loved another book by this author), Glitter on the Web (I love the premise of this one, too! He’s a famous singer with a new hit song about his love of bigger girls, and his groupies think he’s a sweetheart, but his ex outs his secret…) and Rush (Football star that ends up in jail with her… “Because of him, she’s in trouble and when he discovers her true identity, he realizes, his nightmare is just beginning.” YES PLEASE to this, too!). OH and TWO more that have my attention that I just added this evening: Hollow (she’s a TOTAL b*tch and has no qualms about it – that blurb is almost infuriating!!) and Secrets and Lies (she’s about to have a one-night stand with a sexy stranger, but before they go all the way, he darts and leaves her there, and a week later she realizes he wasn’t a stranger at all… OH. OH.) <— THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!!!

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

P.P.S. Don’t have a Kindle? No problem! Amazon offers various free Kindle apps and a free Kindle Cloud reader for any and ALL of us to use. You can either use the free Kindle App for your smartphone, tablet, AND your desktop computer (just like you’re using a Kindle, but right through your web browser <— No need to download anything!)

  • AND! Here’s the fun-tool again! —> Find out which of YOUR Kindle books are available as audiobooks at a BARGAIN-PRICE! <— This thing is so cool (Amazon calls it “Matchmaker“)! It’s an Amazon feature, that scans your Kindle books and will list all of the ones you have that are also available as an audiobook at a discounted price (not normal audiobook prices). This way, you can switch back and forth, seamlessly between your ebooks and your audiobooks. VERY COOL!

  • Indebted Series 4-7: Boxed Set by Pepper Winters <— And here’s the second half! 😀
Tessa: Alright, commenting super fast. If you like dark reads, you have to give Indebted a chance. It’s angsty and insane.
  • Zane (THE FLAMES OF VAMPIRE PASSION SERIES Book 1) by Elaine Barris <— THE BLURB HAS ME!!! And book #2 was just released (below in the paranormal section). I didn’t read that blurb so I don’t spoil it for myself, but this one… YES PLEASE!! “I had left my husband to pursue my life on my own terms rather than put up with one more word of insult. Once I arrived at the event, I was startled to find someone already at my table, Zane, claiming to be my assistant for the night…” Lots of great reviews for BOTH books already…
  • Danse Macabre by Christina Quinn <— VAMPIRE BALLET GROUP & the human ballerina that is intrigued by him. This one is super-bargain priced right now, and book #2 was just released below. They intrigue me… “The poised, demure Autumn is shocked to find herself attracted to Aleksi, in spite of all of the warnings she’s received her entire life about vampires. Intrigued by Autumn’s composure and reserve, Aleksi discovers he has a need to make the shy academic his—at all costs…”
  • Sustained by Emma Chase <— FUNNY & ENDEARING ALERT! SO many LOVE this one, and it’s still super-bargain priced!
  • Beauty and the Mustache: A Philosophical Romance (Knitting in the City Book 4) by Penny Reid <— still super-bargain priced! And Jacee loved it!
“Finished Beauty and the Mustache last night. Honestly, Drew is the sweetest. It’s so romantic. I cried sad tears, happy tears, sweet tears..all the tears. It’s different from her other books in that it’s not as funny. It’s so romantic. Drew has this quiet, sweet, hot, manly thing going on. You can read it alone, but I enjoyed seeing all the characters from previous books.”
  • Tight by Alessandra Torre <— CRAZY & TWISTY AWESOMENESS and it’s another one that I loved (and still super-bargain priced – my review)
  • Stolen by Lucy Christopher <— DARK READ KIDNAP ALERT and I LOVED This one!!!! It’s a must read, and Michelle just found it for us at a bargain price. OMG!!! (my 4.5 star review – I will NEVER EVER FORGET this book). Maybe I should have given it five stars…
  • The Dark Ones by Rachel Van Dyken <— Lauren found us this super-bargain saying: “The Dark Ones by Rachel Van Dyken… I’ve been dying to read this one!”
  • Thicker than Blood by Madeline Sheehan & Claire C Riley <— Post-Apocalyptic SUPER-BARGAIN priced today! And Amy LOVED it!
“…don’t forget about Thicker Than Blood for a post-apocalyptic read. It has enough romance to take care of that craving, but the focus is on the close friendship bond between the two women. SO freaking good.”

Karpov Kinrade – Vampire Girl Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

This book appears to be all the rage right now (so many 5-star reviews in no time, it’s mind boggling), and a blurb that jolts me for sure. Touted as a “Twilight meets Outlander” series? HECK. YES! Plus, book #2 was JUST released, and is already skyrocketing up the bestselling charts, and so far it has ONLY 5 star reviews (over 50 of ’em). eek

Cristina: I read Vampire Girl last week and it was awesome! The authors do a clever job of taking the vampire angle in a new direction. I’ve always loved a good vampire story line, but the trick is to keep it fresh for readers. Our heroine makes a deal with the Princes of Hell and is sent to live in Hell to carry out her contract. She has to pick a Prince to marry and produce an heir. The Prince that she chooses to marry will become the new King of Hell. To aide in making this choice, she is to spend one month with each Prince before she makes her final decision. What made it so cool is each of the Princes represents one of the seven deadly sins (lust, pride, gluttony, etc.). Hell is divided into realms (based on these sins) and each Prince rules his own realm. This book is just the beginning of what I think will be a fantastic series! Each book is NOT a stand alone so there is a CH. I highly recommend if you’re in the mood for paranormal!!

Tracey: Just finished book 1 last night , took me a while to get the like Outlander bit ( maybe I was a little slow) but yes very good read. Strong main characters ….but for me Baron was the hero 🙂 . Need to go download book

Melanie: Book 2 was just as good

About book #1:

You think it’s safe to walk alone at night. It’s not.

You think the only threat is other humans. It’s not.

Monsters are real. Demons are real. Vampires are real.

And I’m about to become one of them.

My name is Arianna Spero. I was an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, until my mother lapsed into a coma. Now, I am her only hope. She made a deal with the devil, and on my 18th birthday he came to collect. But there’s a way to save her. There’s something the princes of hell want more than my mother.

Me.

So I signed my soul away and promised to pick a prince to marry. I would take the blood oath, become one of them, and give them an heir. I would become a princess of hell, and my mother would live.

I expected fire and brimstone. I expected pain and misery. I didn’t expect beauty. I didn’t expect magic.

I didn’t expect love.

But the princes are keeping secrets from me.

Secrets that could shatter everything.
