Blog Tour Stop: Without You by Brooklyn Skye

Welcome to my stop on the Without You blog tour hosted by YA Bound Book Tours.  Click HERE to see the full blog tour schedule!

She was broken when I met her, shattered from the death of her sister and running from love. Not to sound like an egotistical douche or anything, but I fixed her. Put her back together, filled in the cracks, and made her whole. A true fairytale in her eyes.

But now real life is getting in the way: school, jobs, and the unexpected opportunity to travel the world under a legendary photographer. This internship will open doors not even my father’s influence could. It’s something I’ve been waiting all my life for. But so is Quinn, and accepting this internship will mean leaving her.

And breaking her all over again

Review:

STRIPPED was the first NA novel that I ever read and it hold a special place in my heart. WITHOUT YOU was awesome! And it was from Torrin's point of view! The plot was so sweet and it made me cry! I can't wait for future Brooklyn books!

Blog Tour Stop: UNBREATHABLE by Hafsah Laziaf

One hundred and fifty years ago, Earth was destroyed, and the remaining humans fled to the dusty red planet of Jutaire, where the only oxygen is manufactured, food is scarce, and death strikes often. 

When Lissa’s father discovers Earth still exists, she accidentally inhales the toxic air of Jutaire, and in one breath, discovers she isn’t quite human.

Her father hangs for his discovery, and Lissa knows the Chancellors will come for her, for she saw the Earth that night too. With nothing to lose, she sets out to expose the truth. It isn’t long before she meets Julian, a beautiful boy who can breathe the toxic air like she can – and shows her that the Jute, the original inhabitants of the planet, are more tangled in their lives than she knows.

But the Chancellors are only pawns in a greater game – one where the Jute control everything. Worse, the Jute plan to leave Jutaire for Earth, but to get there, they need her. And they’ll stop at nothing until Lissa is in their clutches, even if they kill every human in the process. 

The race for Earth has begun.

INTERVIEW:

What inspired you to write UNBREATHABLE?

UNBREATHABLE was inspired by a search for a never-before-used first line. I never set out to write a story set in space, but when the words 'search' and 'earth' popped into my head, I couldn't let it go.

When did you start writing?

I was a late-bloomer in the writing department. I started at 17, after seventeen years of hating writing. So it's been about three years.

What inspired you to become a writer?

It may seem cliche, but I had a dream that led me to write my first novel, and then I just couldn't stop.

How did you go about writing the character’s personalities?

Hmm, they just came about on their own! I love broken characters, so that may be why everyone in UNBREATHABLE has a broken past that made them who they are. I know a lot of writers who base characters off of real life people, but I never did that.

Do you have plans to write more about UNBREATHABLE’s world?

I have plans for a sequel, and a prequel - about why humans left Earth, and also more about the Lost Colony mentioned in UNBREATHABLE ;)

Do you plan to write future novels?

Oh, yes. If I don't end up writing more for UNBREATHABLE (which all depends on how many people want more), I'll still write more. Either a rewrite of one of my older manuscripts, or a new one I'm itching to share.

What is your favorite book?

I have so many favorites, but the first that comes to mind is SHADOW & BONE by Leigh Bardugo.

ANTIGODDESS by Kendare Blake Review!

Old Gods never die…Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god. 

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning. 

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out. 

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.

Ok, let's get something straight about this book. This is not your conventional mythology, this is deep and dark and sexy in a way. The gods are either young and anxious to keep their immortality or old, twisted, insane and willing to do anyhting to reclaim their eternal life.

The characters were wonderfully written. Cassandra was a protagonist that you didn't know what to do with her. She went from being confident to doubting herself and it drove me nuts! But I loved her all the same. Aiden was an overprotective sweetheart who was trying to right his wrongs and he payed the ultimate price. Athena and Hermes were my favorite characters because they had such a great dynamic together and they played off each other really well. The insane gods were so wonderful, so dark and twisted. It fed my inner evil. I hope to see more of the dark and twisted gods.

The ENDING, OH THE ENDING, WAY TO KILL ME. I SWEAR SOMEONE GIVE ME THE NEXT BOOK.

                                                                   5/5 stars

Push (The Game #2)

by Eve Silver

Release Date: 2014

Harper Teen

Book Summary:

It’s either break the rules or die.

Miki Jones lives her life by her own strict set of rules, to keep control, to keep the gray fog of grief at bay. Then she’s pulled into the Game, where she—and her team—will die unless she follows a new set of rules: those set by the mysterious Committee.

But rules don’t mean answers, and without answers, it’s hard to trust. People are dying. The rules are unraveling. And Miki knows she’s being watched, uncertain if it’s the Drau or someone—something—else. Forced to make impossible choices and battling to save those she loves, Miki begins to see the Committee in a glaring new light.

And then the Game crosses a new boundary, pushes harder into Miki’s and her friends’ lives, and there’s nothing in the rules that can save them now.

Push is the sequel Rush fans will be screaming for.
