Lost in Me by Lexi Ryan

Lost in Me was a riveting tale, about a young woman who suffers from amnesia, and is forced to remember everything that has happened to her within a years time. I highly enjoyed Lost in Me because the main character Hannah not only suffers from amnesia, but in her life before she suffered from society social norms of being too big. So, now as she comes to remember she finds that she has been dating her crush Max Hallowell, but every thing is not what it seems when she finds out about her broken relationship with her sister and her scheduled meetings with a therapist. She comes to find out about her eating disorder, and a silent partner in her bakery business who she can only believe to be rock star Nate Crane who is all types of sexy, dark, and brooding. Too, the fact that he came into her apartment with a key, and nearly had sex with her kind of gave it away. But, as time continues she learns that her upcoming wedding with Max maybe the worst decision of her life.

Black Ice

Pre- Order Becca Fitzpatricks new book, Black Ice now. 

Excerpt from Goodreads: 

Sometimes danger is hard to see... until it’s too late. 

Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants—but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage. 

In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target. 

But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy? Or an ally? 

BLACK ICE is New York Times bestselling author Becca Fitzpatrick’s riveting romantic thriller set against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming. Falling in love should never be this dangerous…

Opposition (Warning: Spoiler alerts)

        As we come to a close with Jennifer Armentrout's Lux series, we will FINALLY get to see how the things play out when you get a bunch of crazy Luxen falling from the skies. I must say I'm glad none of the Black family died. But, I'm devastated for Katy's loss, WHY?? Jennifer WHY???, but all in all the series ended out with a bright future for all of them. Though, as much as I didn't enjoy Ash, I wish we still had some of her snarky insight on things, but I think Dee made up for that just fine. I will definitely miss the Black family, and hope there will be some prequels to come. Luc by far is my favorite character second to Daemon and Katy. He has the whole cool badass thing goin on, but also we see his kind side when he tries to get the Prometheus serum to work for his friend . But, as many were hoping, I also secretly wished there would be a little Daemon baby, but since we can't have that wish we will stick to the Dawson and Beth baby, who happens to be the first Origin female. But, as much as I love spoilers, I'll stop here, and say THANK YOU Jennifer Armentrout for giving us such a great series, and giving us the book boyfriend we ALL wish we could have. Hopefully one day, I will get to be called "Kitten" in the sexy brooding way.

Thanks to those who are reading this hopefully there are more posts to come.

Shatter Me

Juliette was sent to the asylum for a power she never knew she had until now. For what though, a gift or a curse. Juliette has the power the power to kill people with her touch, as the world around her crumbles from famine and diseases she is one day sent a cell mate. After, 264 days of never touching someone they have sent a boy. With conflicting emotions she realizes she must help him, but how when they are stuck so the only thing she can do is teach him the daily routines of life in the asylum. 2 weeks later she finds herself leaving the asylum to meet with the Reestablishment.

Excerpt from Goodreads:
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

The Darkest Minds

Ruby is one of the children that has survived the disease that has caused other children to die. But, the cost of being one of these gifted children to survive is the power they hold. When Ruby was only 10 years old she made the accident of taking her parents memory of her away. Now, Ruby is 16 and escapes her rehabilitation center, where she finds Liam and his crew. Liam might just be the most dangerous person to be around because he holds that could be the cure to everything. Ruby, must now choose between her new found love or her power.

Excerpt from Goodreads:
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control.

Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones.

When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents.

When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns

The Girl of Fire and Thorns was a great start to the fall read, I enjoyed it very much. Elisa is the chosen one who bares the Godstone, and at the age of 16 is forced to marry. The Invierne , who also posses the other Godstones have been bring war to her new home. But, when Elisa is kidnapped she has no choice, but to help the people that have taken her win the war that they have been facing. Which, the king himself had no clue they have been fighting their own wars for years. In this twisting and spellbinding book Elisa discovers what it is like to be loved, and to have the power to do good, but at what cost does the good come at?

Excerpt from Goodreads:
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.
Elisa is the chosen one. 

But she is also the younger of two princesses, the one who has never done anything remarkable. She can't see how she ever will. 

Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.

And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies seething with dark magic are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. And he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.

Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn’t die young.

Most of the chosen do.
