Of Metal and Wishes by Sarah Fine

Hi guys!

I hope you all have been doing well and have had an awesome week in books. I have been swamped with mid-terms and homework, so I haven't been around much.

This week, I didn't get many books, but the books I got are high up my wish-list. Pawn has been receiving some great reviews lately and I'm excited to get to it later this month. Plus, I couldn't resist that gorgeous cover. I'm always really looking forward to Sekret because it's a historical spy story and it sounds very interesting. Tin Star is a story about a girl stuck on a space station and there are aliens! It sounds super intriguing and scary at the same time, so I'm looking forward to reading it. I almost died of happiness when I saw Of Metal and Wishes on Edelweiss and I immediately requested it. I love Sarah Fine's writing and if you haven't read her book Sanctum yet, I highly recommend it. It's beautifully written and Sarah Fine is an amazing story teller. Finally, I got Fireblood from Spencer Hill Press. I'm a huge fan of YA fantasy and I recently read a book by Trisha Wolfe that I adored.

Thank you to Edelweiss, NetGalley, Harlequin Teen, Macmillan, Simon & Schuster and Spencer Hill Press for the lovely review copies. 

Weekly Recap

Blog Tour Stop : I Stand Before You by S.R Grey
I shared an excerpt and a giveaway as part of the tour.

This wasn't the best book I've ever read, but it wasn't the worst either. I had some issues with it, but it also had some great aspects. I rated it 3 stars.

This one was an educational book with a great premise, but I failed to connect emotionally to the book. I rated it 3 stars.

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren . Touch (Denazen #1) by Jus Accorda Summary (from Goodreads) When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home. Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized. Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking dow
