Summary (from Goodreads) Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse. Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive. A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky...

Hi Guys ! :) Yesterday, I was delightfully surprised to learn that I had finally reached 200 followers! I was really really happy ! :) I think this calls for a celebration, so I have organized this giveaway to show my appreciation to all my followers. :) I'm doing an eBook giveaway. I know that pretty much sucks, but I live in Mauritius and shipping to other countries costs me around $100. You have to agree that it's just too much. Plus, I'm still living with my parents and I don't work, so I'm not very rich. :P Anyways, I'll be starting to work some time in September/October when I go to college, so I'll probably do a physical copy giveaway then. Here are the books that are up for grabs : Details The rules are pretty simple. You just have to fill out the rafflecopter below. 1 winner will be selected and the winners will be able to choose 3 books of their choice. The giveaway is open internationally . So that means all of you can participate. The contest e...

Summary (from Goodreads) Talia Thornwood's life ended one year ago, when she became a werewolf. She survived the attack, and the horrifying transformation a month later, but the life she has now is barely worth living. She lurks about in a filthy, run-down house, with too many werewolves crammed into too small a space. Every day is a struggle against the stress of human contact, the romantic prodding of her obnoxious packmate Pierce, and the gnawing hunger for flesh in her soul. She's all but resigned herself to a dreary existence on the margins of society when she meets Corwin. Corwin is a werewolf like none other. He walks among humans as if it was nothing, and can keep his wolf under control even when the moon is full. Talia's mind is suddenly opened to the possibilities before her, and the realization of how little she really knows about lycanthropy. Corwin claims that he can teach her how to cope as he does, even how to transcend her affliction. But it wi...

Summary (from Goodreads) I don't do dangerous. Smart, über-careful, ordinary Samantha—that's me. But I just couldn't pass up a surprise kiss from my number one unattainable crush. A kiss that did something to me…something strange. Now I feel hungry all the time, but not for food. It's like part of me is missing—and I don't know if I can get it back. Then there's Bishop. At first I thought he was just a street kid, but the secrets he's keeping are as intense as his unearthly blue eyes. If he's what I think he is, he may be the only one who can help me. But something terrifying is closing in, and the one chance Bishop and I have to stop it means losing everything I ever wanted and embracing the darkness inside me…. Personal Thoughts Angel stories are slowly becoming a phenomenon in the YA paranormal genre. I would say that angels and demons are the new vampires. Michelle Rowen's addition to this genre was one I was really looking forward to r...
