--What I Am Currently Reading
Die For Me - Amy Plum
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?

Anna and The French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
I wasn't completely impressed with the books. In a nut-shell, Anna gets sent to a boarding school in Paris. She falls in love with an unavailable guy. Said unavailable guy falls in love with her, but refuses to make himself available because of various cop-out reasons. You can read my review here.

Unearthly - Cynthia Hand
In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.

Nevermore - Kelly Creagh
Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

I was so excited to read this book. I mean, take a look at that cover! If that doesn't have creepy written all over it. I went into reading that expecting a spooky, suspenseful tale. I found it to be much more light-hearted and whimsical than I was anticipating. That's not to say it was bad, or I didn't enjoy reading it. It just wasn't what I expected. But a more in-depth review is to follow.

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer - Lish McBride
Sam leads a pretty normal life. He may not have the most exciting job in the world, but he’s doing all right—until a fast food prank brings him to the attention of Douglas, a creepy guy with an intense violent streak.

Turns out Douglas is a necromancer who raises the dead for cash and sees potential in Sam. Then Sam discovers he’s a necromancer too, but with strangely latent powers. And his worst nightmare wants to join forces . . . or else.

With only a week to figure things out, Sam needs all the help he can get. Luckily he lives in Seattle, which has nearly as many paranormal types as it does coffee places. But even with newfound friends, will Sam be able to save his skin?

The Maze Runner - James Dashner 
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he's not alone. When the lift's doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade-a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.
Just like Thomas, the Gladers don't know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they've closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift. Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up-the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

Perfect Chemistry - Simone Elkeles
This book was a completely spontaneous read. I had never even heard of it before, but I was really burnt out on the whole Paranormal Fiction and needed a quick break. Its basically a modern West Side Story, and I loved it. I read it in one afternoon.

Beautiful Creatures - Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

This has been in my TBR pile for a while. I may finally get into it..

--What I Am Currently Reading
Hush, Hush - Becca Fitzpatrick 
This book has been on my To Be Read list for a while. Quite honestly, I wasn't planning on starting this book yet. I recently got approved for several Advanced Readers Copy(ARC) books from NetGalley and I really wanted to start one of those. But I happened to finish Water for Elephants while I was at work. (Don't judge me, apparently nobody likes to tan during Thunderstorms). I hadn't loaded any of the ARC books onto my Nook so I had to pick something that was already on there. Hush, Hush was the shortest one.
So far I am really enjoying it. =)

Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen
I just posted my review of this book. I honestly can't say this book was one of my absolute favorites. I also can't say I was hooked on it. But I still thoroughly enjoyed reading it and thought the story was both charming and a bit dark. I would definitely recommend this to others to pick up. 




--What I Think I Will Read Next
Angel Burn - L.A. Weatherly
This was the first book I was accepted for from NetGalley, so I figured it would be a good place to start. It is about a girl named Willow who has the ability to look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She doesn't know where this ability comes from, but Alex does...

Looking forward to reading and reviewing this one.
