Review:

To start i have never read an extra book i have only read what's in the series: #1, #2, #3 and so on but never novellas. However, after reading Between i think i'll read them in the future. Between was a journey to explore Sam's brother. It was interesting to see what he felt.

The story is about how Logan feels about pretending. He feels fed up of his dad and how his mum never helps him. Angry about Sam running away. And school isn't going the right track. With all this happening, at the same time, Logan isn't feeling well. He knows what's happening but can't help but hope for the better. But after feeling fed up on how his life is he runs to find his brother, Sam.

Betwen is an interesting novella to read. It shares the feeling of Sam's brother Logan. By the end of this novella i couldn't but crave for the upcoming book after Masquerade!

My rating:

Trailer Teasers : City of Lost Souls


City of Lost Souls ( The Mortal Instruments #5)
by Cassandra Clare
Pages: 536
Publisher: Margaret K. McElderry
Release date: May 8th 2012 

Summary:

The demon Lilith has been destroyed and Jace has been freed from her captivity. But when the Shadowhunters arrive to rescue him, they find only blood and broken glass. Not only is the boy Clary loves missing–but so is the boy she hates, Sebastian, the son of her father Valentine: a son determined to succeed where their father failed, and bring the Shadowhunters to their knees.
No magic the Clave can summon can locate either boy, but Jace cannot stay away—not from Clary. When they meet again Clary discovers the horror Lilith’s dying magic has wrought—Jace is no longer the boy she loved. He and Sebastian are now bound to each other, and Jace has become what he most feared: a true servant of Valentine’s evil. The Clave is determined to destroy Sebastian, but there is no way to harm one boy without destroying the other. Will the Shadowhunters hesitate to kill one of their own?
Only a small band of Clary and Jace’s friends and family believe that Jace can still be saved — and that the fate of the Shadowhunters’ future may hinge on that salvation. They must defy the Clave and strike out on their own. Alec, Magnus, Simon and Isabelle must work together to save Jace: bargaining with the sinister Faerie Queen, contemplating deals with demons, and turning at last to the Iron Sisters, the reclusive and merciless weapons makers for the Shadowhunters, who tell them that no weapon on this earth can sever the bond between Sebastian and Jace. Their only chance of cutting Jace free is to challenge Heaven and Hell — a risk that could claim any, or all, of their lives.
And they must do it without Clary. For Clary has gone into the heart of darkness, to play a dangerous game utterly alone. The price of losing the game is not just her own life, but Jace’s soul. She’s willing to do anything for Jace, but can she even still trust him? Or is he truly lost? What price is too high to pay, even for love?
Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

Reviw: Die For Me by Amy Plum


Die For Me (Revenants #1)
By Amy Plum
Pages: 344
Publisher: Atom
Release date: May 11th 2011

Summary:

Would you risk your life for love?
My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.
Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.
Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.
While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?



Review:


This book is love at first sight!

Kate who has just lost her parents gas moved to Pars to her grandparents with her sister, Georgia. There she meets Vincent, with his good looks and charming manner (what do you expect? It's France.) He seems to look like a normal guy, but he isn't. Vincent is a Revenant a fancy word for saying the undead-zombies, ghost whatever, but not vampires. But been undead has a payment to give. Vincent and his friends have to save people when they are in danger of ending their lives. And with every good guys you get the bad guys as well. The bad guys: Numa. They are just like Revenants but they are made out of cold murder and many bad things. Without knowing what is still out there Kate turns a blind eye to the negative points and still carries on walking towards danger.

As i said before : "This book is love at first sight!" So this is why everyone is making a fuss out of this series and i have to i agree with them. Die For Me just sucks you in with it's crazy world and characters.

Cover reveal: Asunder


Asunder (Incarnate #1)
by Jodi Meadows
Pages:
Publisher:
Release date: 2013

Summary:

DARKSOULS
Ana has always been the only one. Asunder. Apart. But after Templedark, when many residents of Heart were lost forever, some hold Ana responsible for the darksouls–and the newsouls who may be born in their place.

SHADOWS
Many are afraid of Ana’s presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable changes and the unknown. When sylph begin behaving differently toward her and people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself but for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

LOVE
Ana was told that nosouls can’t love. But newsouls? More than anything, she wants to live and love as an equal among the citizens of Heart, but even when Sam professes his deepest feelings, it seems impossible to overcome a lifetime of rejection.

In this second book in the Incarnate trilogy, Ana discovers the truth about reincarnation and will have to find a way to embrace love and make her young life meaningful. Once again, Jodi Meadows explores the extraordinary beauty and shadowed depths of the soul in a story equal parts epic romance and captivating fantasy.


My thoughts:


Isn't it AAAAAMMMMAAAAZZZIINNNGG and MINDBOWING?!! Gosh! Seriously i absolutely love it! Oh my GOD!!!! EEEEEP!! I just love it! I haven't read Incanrnate but seriously i need to read it NOW! I would love to have this on my shelf! Incarnate was one of my favourite covers so I was curious about how they were going to come close to it's beauty. I guess this latest cover reveal tops it off, huh? *Nudge, nudge* And just think what the third book cover will look like?


Anyway, moving on. Jodi is hosting a very cute contest in her blog right now, click HERE to go check it out and read some insights of the book to come!
