Thousand Pieces of You
by

, January 04, 2015
This book is beautiful on the outside and the inside! Once I was finished I felt like I needed the next book immediately! I loved the entire story because it is so original. The romance is incredible, you will even love the other person in the love triangle, though it's not a terrible all-consuming love triangle. The story is so intricate and I hope that the next two books will be just as good as this one! Go read it as soon as possible!

Sweet 01 Sweet Evil
by

, November 27, 2014
This book grabbed me from the beginning! I find it very original and my love for it grew more and more as I read it! It's enchantingly intoxicating with drama of the main character who is so good and light sucked into a world of darkness she never knew she was already apart of. But there is some bright spots and one of them is Kaiden Rowe. Kai is "HOTT" and will make you swoon. Their love is very forbidden and you will be rooting for them all the way. Don't get me wrong, it's not all dark, this book will make you laugh a lot. The characters in it are wonderful and Higgins does an amazing job with the trilogy! I definitely recommend.

Alienated 01

, September 30, 2014
This Book. THIS BOOK! YOU NEED TO PUT THIS AT THE TOP OF YOUR To Read LIST! Ok, enough with the caps lock. But seriously guys, this book is AMAZING. Oh look there I go again. I could not put this book down, and in result, I finished it within 24 hours. Yeah. Aelyx is a very melt worthy guy that will cause you to swoon. And Cara is kick butt character in more than one way. She is our brave heroin that at first glance hadn't impressed but now I think of her as someone to admire and want to be like. Please read. It's basically a foreign exchange program, wth Aliens. Now, doesn't that sound cool? Well, it is! Go read this ASAP! It's amazing!

This book is a quick, funny, fast-paced read great for all ages! If you like Adventures and/or Greek mythology, you will absolutely love this book. I (16 years old) am currently rereading this book to my little sister (10 years old) and my mom overheard and has been avidly listening along to it too (45 years old) and it's just as wonderful as the first time reading it!

This is a FANTASTIC book! The world in it is somewhere that I would want to live! And don't even get me started on how much I want the dragons in these books as my pets! Wonderful world, definitely recommend to those who love fantasy, and/or the Narnia books! Christian Fiction that is fantastic for any religion!

Anna and the French Kiss
by
Stephanie Perkins
Booklion12
, September 17, 2014
So.... I have finished this book in a day. It was so SO good! I just wish I had the physical copy so I could hug it, because I would feel ridiculous hugging my phone..... it's too small This is my first contemporary novel and I LOVED IT! Étienne is so just perfect! I would recommend this book to everyone and I really wonder why someone hasn't snatched up the movie rights and has already produced it so that I can see the actor who- though won't be able to do him justice- will hopefully be close enough or acceptable, and of course HOT, or Beau (That is handsome, in French) ;) If you haven't picked this one up, DO IT NOW! Drop whatever you are doing and start reading it! You won't regret it!

My Life Next Door
by
Huntley Fitzpatrick
Booklion12
, September 16, 2014
This book was so good. I recommend everyone read it! it made me so happy, and made me laugh so hard sometimes, and yet at one point it also made me cry with despair at not being able to go into the story and fix the problem myself... I legit cried at one point. But despite that, this book was incredibly good and I came away from it having learned something about human nature, as I do with most books. Put this on your To-Read list now! You won't regret it!

Selection 01 Selection

Wow. this book was so good, but It is stressing me out, wondering who she will choose, who he will choose-- I don't like Love Triangles, let alone a Love Octagon (a 8 sided shape, since their are 5 girls, America, Maxon, and Aspen in it -_- ) So I'm very antsy to find out if Maxerica will make it to the end!

Lux 01 Obsidian
by

, September 15, 2014
So good, like this was really REALLY good! It reminded me of Twilight kind of, and Hush Hush.... REALLY REALLY GOOD! We have a main character who doesn't take any crap, and that a lot of us, well I least I can, relate with her interests (Books). We also have a guy that I can't really put into words how amazing he is. I definitely recommend this book! I finished it really quickly because I just didn't want to put it down.

Penryn & End of Days 01 Angelfall

Susan Ee
Booklion12
, September 15, 2014
This was so good! I could not put it down! I love Raffe! Go read Angelfall by Susan Ee! I just loved that absolutely none of this book was cheesy or expected! There was a lot of time where I just gasped "WHAT EVEN?!" because I literally couldn't process that something was actually happening, and that is so refreshing! I can't wait to read World After!

This book was mind-blowing and amazing! The romance was wonderful and I just loved it! Everyone should read this! It's a really original Dystopian novel, I haven't come across a plot line like this before. *Spoilers ahead, don't read past if you haven't read the book yet!* I loved the romance between Cole and Lexi was wonderful, though it did feel like they said I love you a little too soon... but that's just my opinion. I absolutely adored Zeus and I'm so glad that all three of them survived- at least this book! I was so terrified that Zeus was gonna die!
