Reader Question… Solved! The series about the two college kids that are supernatural enemies but she doesn’t know she has abilities…

By 3 Comments

Katy just sent us this reader question! Ohhhh I’ve read quite a few like this but they were all YA, so I’m curious to know this one too!!

She asks:

I hope you can help.

I started a series probably 5 years ago. College campus boy meets girl .

Turns out they both are some sort of supernatural.. enemies. He was rich and knew… she had no idea she was something different.

I wish I could remember more.

Anyone have a guess?

Ria: Could it be the The Premonition Series by Amy A. Bartol?

Jan: The Magicians by Lev Grossman, maybe? It’s a few years since I read it and I can’t remember all the deets, but I know the lead characters were college age. read more

Beautiful Sacrifice: A Novel (The Maddox Brothers Book 3)
<— SUPER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED since I requested my own “Maddox twin” back in 2011, and we’re finally reading their stories! And I’m not the only one that had a special penchant for the twins…

Maryse: anything even resembling “Travis” has me on pins and needles…

Fabi: Beautiful Sacrifice. I think my heart just skipped a beat.

Anne: Maryse I loved Beautiful and Travis! He was my first real “bad boy” and still love him. That book gave me all the feels! read more

A Beautiful Wedding: A Novella (Beautiful Disaster)
Okay, now… if there is anyone out there that hasn’t read “Beautiful Disaster“(book #1) yet, first: what what whaaaaaaaaaat!!!?? And 2nd: read it ASAP. It’s one of my favorite books in the whole world  and (my absolute favorite book-guy in the whole world)! So much so that I have about a million things on this blog about it. But you can start with my pre-review (I already loved it so much, I couldn’t wait to tell everyone about it), and then my main review. 😉 But if you haven’t read it yet, skip this review (below) and don’t start with this book (yet). read more

Twitter Chat Transcript with authors Abbi Glines, Colleen Hoover and Jamie McGuire

By 1 Comment

For those of you that missed yesterday’s SUPER-CHAT on Twitter with Abbi Glines, Colleen Hoover & Jamie McGuire, I’ve carefully backtracked over the ton of tweets and put together a chat “digest”. The questions (in short form – as some of us asked similar questions) and their respective answers (quoted exactly) to help give you a comprehensive “Behind the Books” look into these awesome authors.

In fact, I’m so happy I did this, because the chat was so intense and going by so fast (it even “trended“!! YAY!!!) that I missed a ton of great intel. But I have it all, now! For us to learn from. For us to get to know these authors better. For us to “speculate” and get excited about potential future books. And for us to backtrack in the future and say “Remember when we had that crazy chat…?” read more

Book Review – Red Hill by Jamie McGuire

Red Hill
<— Fun and so well detailed in it’s viral wrath. I love zombie stories like this! A great start to my Halloween season, and it’s got me excited for more! And what makes it even better, is that… along with the unimaginable horror… is a love story. Or two. Or three. 😉 And I love when my two favorite genres mix!

But!!! Once upon a time, when I used to get my adrenaline spikes through horror (books and movies), zombies were my absolute last choice for potential entertainment. I dunno… to me, they were more of a campy-movie “guy” thing (yes I’m looking at you, husband. I know you love ’em). Wow, reminiscing… I remember when we were first getting to know each other, how ecstatic I was to find a another horror-afficiando. Except… you tricked me. neutral I didn’t know that the ONLY “horror” you liked were b-grade zombie flicks. rolleyes read more
