Armed? Or A False?!?!?

Mediocre at best... I wanted to fall in love with this story. This novel feels young, written from the authors mind and that is it. When we read we want to feel as if the characters are real, vulnerable, like we are the fly on the wall. The author is like the puppeteer and in this book all I see is strings and all I hear is her voice. I'm sad to say there's nothing to attach you to the unbelievable characters within. And the storyline really couldn't stand on its own due to the lack of character so I won't be moving forward through this series as much as I may have wanted to.

My Soul To Save... The Third And As Far As I Go....

..... And the ball was now fumbled. The story lost its small momentum in this book that was slow to build through the last two. I started to skim rather than be ensnared into the story with the characters. So sadly I won't be spending any more time reading this series.

To Save Them? Or To Let Them Go?!?!?!

My Soul To Take by Rachel Vincent

Not exactly what I had been hoping for but I'm into it nonetheless. It felt almost cliche with the whole; young teen finds out they have something different about them.... befriends similar teen.... lalalala.

I pictured Kaylee staying in the psych ward and somehow breaking out and then we learn from there that she is different etc etc. Personally, I'm wondering what happened to the girl she met inside there...that's really when  we realize that there was a paranormal essence to her story. My other pet peeve in this book is that Kaylee refers to her few days in the psych ward as if it were months..... get a grip.

I do however see this series, with slight tweaking becoming a cool TV series like Teen Wolf, or something similar. Not as psychological as I had wished but definitely paranormal so I'll go forward. I would say this book would be geared toward more of the younger teens just getting into paranormal.

To Scream? Or To Try And Keep Quiet?!?!?!

My Soul To Lose- By Rachel Vincent

Intoxicating. I wasn't aware this was a prequel so when it was abruptly over I was left with a heart wrenching need to know what happened. Paranormal and psychological. Two of my favorite things! So I MUST continue into this girl's story. Look for following reviews on this series!

To Know Who You Are? Or Not To?!?!?!

A Different Blue- By Amy Harmon

I'm not quite sure how to start with this one. There were parts that were really good and there were parts that were not so much so. The feeling this story gave me was one of randomness. There wasn't an ebb and flow that you long for in a good book. I wanted to feel swept up into whatever world Amy was sharing with me... however I felt just a step away from or even on the verge of stepping in.
A woman who doesn't know who she is, how old, or where she actually came from... fighting to keep her world from unraveling... sounds so good. And yet a bit of a let down.

To Try And Sleep? Or To Stay Awake?!?!

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J Watson

Tantalizingly creepy and bound to make you think twice before doing the wrong thing. Real and gripping as you read page by page to figure out who tried to kill Christine and took away all she knew. And the better question you need to ask yourself is why.....
If you're into a good murder mystery that meets psychological thriller this is a story that sets the bar high. I would love to read more from S. J Watson or simply to pick their brain from the things they've seen working.
Definitely kiss approved.

Is It Real? Or Is It Something Unearthly?!?!?!

Gravity by Abigail Boyd

Hauntingly mysterious! As long as you can handle ghostly murder mystery it's a riveting book. With my imagination I don't watch ghostly movies but this is the first time I've ever tried a book as such.
Abigail is talented enough that you want to read it all in the day so the dark shadows at night aren't in question by your imagination.
Startlingly real.
I was gripping the book, craving to know what had happened to Ariel's best friend Jenna. And as we come to the end there are deeper darker questions waiting to be answered in the second book. I cannot wait. A book worth the time to read!
