The Falconer by Elizabeth May

Thornhill by Kathleen Peacock


Hi guys!

How have you all been? I hope you've had a fantastic week. I was having an OK week until some people spoiled the ending of Allegiant for me on Twitter, as a result of which I have no desire to read the last book in the series now. It's such a shame because the books hold a special place in my heart since Divergent is the first book that got me into dystopian.

But, I did receive some fantastic books this week. Lots of NA goodies for me that I'm looking forward to reading.
I saw The Summer I Found You on NG recently and thought it had such a cute cover and I love the cute feels it gives me from the blurb. I've read a few Jolene Perry books and she's a great author, so I'm looking forward to that. 

I was super excited to be approved for A Little Too Much, the second book in the A Little Too series. I adored the first book and I'm looking forward to seeing one character get his HEA. I do strongly dislike that cover though. This is one case where I wouldn't mind a cover change! >.<

Definitely, Maybe in Love and Trouble Comes Knocking are for blog tours with Entangled Publishing's new NA line, Embrace. I'm excited to get to them because they do not sound like the overused characters-with-terrible-pasts stories. Trouble Comes Knocking, for example, is a murder mystery!

And then I got Shadows of Asphodel from Candace @ Candace's Book Blog as part of a blog tour. Her tour post message gushing about the book made me want to read it and I'm hoping I love it as much as she did! (It's fantasy, so there's no way I couldn't not enjoy it)

Finally, I received The Falconer by Elizabeth May from my friend studying in the UK. This book hasn't been released in the US yet, so I pretty much harassed her to send me a copy. I also bought a copy of Thornhill that I can't wait to read!

Thank you kindly to NetGalley, Edelweiss, Albert Whitman, Williams Morrow, Entangled Embrace, Inkslinger PR and CBB Book Promotions for the lovely review copies.

Weekly Recap

Here's a recap of what was on the blog this past week :

I shared an excerpt and a giveaway as part of the tour.

I rated this book 4 stars. It was sexy, intense and had great characters.

This week, I was waiting on Ruined by Jus Accardo because it's an NA paranormal book and I love Jus!

Review : Shadows by Paula Weston
I rated this book 5 stars. It's one of my favorite YA angel books.

I gave this final book in the Breathe series 3 stars. It was a good conclusion, but at the same time, I was disappointed because of a lack of answers.

Giveaway

I recently hit 1000 GFC followers and to celebrate, I have a giveaway up on the blog. You can win 2 awesome prize packs!


That's it for me this week! I hope you guys had a fabulous week as well!
Hope you have a great weekend!

Don't forget to leave links to your Book Hauls for me to visit you as well!

Happy Reading!

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
