Summary:

Deep in the heartland of the United Sentry States are the burning ruins of the Black City, a melting pot simmering with hostility as humans and Darklings struggle to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of a brutal and bloody war. A wall now divides the city separating the two races. Trapped on the wrong side of the wall is sixteen-year-old hustler Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling who’ll do whatever it takes to survive, including selling his addictive venom ‘Haze’ to help support his dying mother.

Then there’s Natalie Buchanan, the daughter of the Sentry Emissary, who feels imprisoned by her life of privilege and fame. When their paths cross, they instantly detest each other but Ash is shocked when his once still heart starts to beat. Bonded by a mysterious connection, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught, they’ll be executed. Then Haze users start dying all over the city and Ash discovers the terrible truth behind his and Natalie’s mystical connection. Suddenly, city walls and the threat of execution become the least of their problems.

Summary:

Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city's brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father's apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father's survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.

At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city's top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor's impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.

As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

Thankful for . . . Harry Poter series.

The most book that i am thankful for is Harry Potter. I first started reading Harry Potter when i was about 

8 but for some reason i stopped reading it.

It all started when i was in the library.  I saw the book and it looked interesting so i took it out to read. I read it and it started to be actually nice because i didn't really like books then. So, i started reading and reading it more. I started to come home more quicker to read it. However i stopped reading it because there were things i needed to do.

And then after two years people started to talk about and then it just came up in my mind that i was reading it. I got excited again  but this time i bought it and when i bought it, straight away, i started to reading it. It became more interesting and then i read the next book and then the third one but then i had to wait for it because i had to by the whole series.

And right now i am still a fan Actually, rather than a fan i would call myself a Harry Potter fanatic who is still depressed about Snape dying. I also, talk about it to my friends and one of them loves it. We can go all day about it and today we was talking about it. I know what you are thinking that we are crazy and actually we are for Harry potter. Not Harry Potter but the book!

This post is my main entry for a giveaway going on right now in Beth Revis' blog (author of Across the Universe). If you want to participate click here to get a chance of winning 19 books!
