First I want to say all the things I loved about the book and the cover and then I will tell you why I did not finish it.
I loved the theory behind the story line and I loved the cover. The cover is bright and has all the Zodiac Signs on it. The prologue started off strong but after reading to chapter three I was lost. I was so lost I went back and started re-reading thinking I missed something.
This is a sci-fi and fantasy story that will work for readers who like those genres which is weird because I do but this book was just not for me and that makes me sad.
I am going to buy it when it comes out and try and read it then in December again. So when it comes out give it a go because I seem to be in the minority and could not finish it....more

These Gentle Wounds is an AMAZING story and one I will re-read for years to come. I have someone who is very close to me and near and dear to my heartThese Gentle Wounds is an AMAZING story and one I will re-read for years to come. I have someone who is very close to me and near and dear to my heart who suffers from PTSD and I have to say reading this book had me crying so hard because I know his struggle is like Gordie's struggle and I often wonder if he will ever get help or trust someone like Gordie did.
This is a story about a 15 year old bot who has suffered a horrible tragedy at such a young age. After the tragedy he goes to live with his older brother Kevin and let me tell you something Kevin is everything a brother should be. He steps right in and takes care of Gordie and is there for him through thick and thin. Kevin is gordie's protector and will continue to be that as long as Gordie will let him.
Then Gordie meets Sarah and man oh man I love her because she is everything Gordie needs. She loves him with such selflessness that I cried during some parts because she was strong for the both of them and they were able to open and love freely even though Gordie was scared he trusted Sarah and she loved him like no one's business.
I can't say enough about this book but I will say this it is A MUST READ! You will fall in love with Gordie & Sarah & Kevin.
Thank you Amy for allowing me to read this beautiful story early!...more

To me this is effing brillianNight After Night is one of those stories that hooks you in and leaves you breathless wondering what is going to happen. To me this is effing brilliant I mean just brilliant. It took me a couple days to read it because of school and work but when I shut myself off and started reading oh I fell in love with Julia and Clay.
Julia and Clay have had that one night of passion and the craziest chemistry they have known but Julia knows it can only be for that one night. She knows what she has in her life and Clay is to good to be a part of the dark side of her life that was brought to her by her piece of crap ex boyfriend. But Julia can't forget the night she spent with Clay and wants more but how do you get more when you have so much hidden?
Clay wants Julia and he will stop at nothing to get her. What he doesn't know is that she comes with some serious luggage. All Clay knows is that the one night he had with Julia totally blew his mind and he needs more from her. When Clay finds out what Julia has been into will he feel the same way? Will Clay want her as bad as he does? Is Clay willing to give it all up for her?
This is one series I am going to be stalking Lauren for because I need more Clay. I mean he is so sexy and loving and smart mouthed and Julia she is so snarky and she gives as good as she gets and I loved that about her. This is one series everyone should follow because Clay and Julia's story is not done and I can't wait to see what happens next!...more

I mean it had my mind reeling and my adrenaline pumping and me wanting no needing more. When I first read Altered I was caught up in this world that I could not get enough of. I wanted to protect the boys and Anna from that crazy ass branch.

She has these flash backs of memories of her past and she just doesn't know what to make of them. Are the memories good or are they bad? Are they real or made up? She is confused but there is one thing she knows and that is that she and the boys have to do everything Sam says in order to survive.
Sam's rules are simple. The rules are stay low key and stay out of trouble and always always carry a weapon on you. Be aware of the surroundings around you because the branch is sneaky and they will do anything to get back Anna and the boys. Then if things weren't bad enough someone from Anna's past comes back into her life. Is it good or bad the person came back into her life? Is it a set up by the branch? Anna isn't sure but she is sure of this that she needs to keep her guard up because the branch wants them and the memories she is having are revealing things to her.
