Butterface is a hard book for me to write a review for because on the other hand i loved the idea for the book but it was also really short and it felt hurried in parts.I wished we would have had more of a back story for Beth and more info on hemifacial microsamia which she suffers from. Lucky was a enjoyable character and I felt stight from the start of book he really like Beth and her hemifacial microsamia didn't bother him. Hemifacial microsomia is a congenital disorder that affects the development of the lower half of the face, most commonly the ears, the mouth and the mandible. It can occur on one side of the face or both. If severe it can lead to difficulties in breathing, obstructing the trachea and requiring a tracheotomy. It is the second most common facial birth defect after clefts, with an incidence in the range of 1 in 3500 to 4500

After being blinded in a horse show-jumping competition, Tristan spends his days in the dark, refusing to accept his disability. Much to his annoyance, Amy bursts into his life and drags him into the light. But just as the two begin to see something in each other, Tristan's beautiful ex-girlfriend shows up.

An amazing read with the right amount of every thing in it. The best book Jennifer Laurens has written.

4.5/5 STARS

One word WOW.Insight is beautiful written.I love how Jamie Magee wove in soul mates,zodiac signs,insights(like powers),strings to travel to different dimensions and reincartion all in to the story. Willow is the main character and what an amazing one at that.She is so likeable and the way she puts everyone before herself is great. Landen is awesome I loved him from the start. what i liked the most from his character is his relonship with his grand-father. Landen and Willow are so cute together you can just tell the bond they have even from the start when they just dreamed about each other. Drake want's Willow and he will stop at nothing until he gets her. Even tho i should not like him as character i find that i do something just pulls me to him. To sum up this book it's awsome altough i just liked it at the start but by the time Willow gets told about her insight i totaly loved it and was sucked right in to this new world.my favourite part of this book was the idea that everyone has a soul mate.Quote that I loved the most and cried happy tears with is "I found you.No one can keep us apart now,and our love will now be the story told to define how sacred love is" Please Jamie hurry up and write + publish book 2 I need it NOW and please let there be more of Marc in it to.

Tiger's curse is total book candy and i enjoyed every delious word and had to savour every page. The story begins with the prologue telling the tale of two brothers that are turned into tigers over 300 years ago then in chapacter one we meet Kesley who is looking for a summer job and ends up working at a fair ground visting her home town and ends up doing odd jobs and helping with a beautiful white tiger.As Kesley spends time with her tiger reading to it and enjoying it's company. Then a man shows up wanting to buy the tiger. When the tiger is sold to Mr Kadam he offers Kesley the job of helping him settle the tiger in india. Kesley argees to go and that is where her jounery begins as she learns about Ren the tiger/man and her part in breaking the curse and falling in love. Kesley is such a great character sometimes a bit hot or cold but you can see why she is like that.Going on this trip to India with her was like going on holiday.You cant help but be amazed by her strength with every thing that gets throw at her in this book. Ren is totaly amazing.Him and Kesley are adorable together.I loved seeing there bond grow and really really hope that it all works out for them. The world that Colleen Houck has created is out of this world and unlike anything i have read before.I loved all the trials Ren and Kesley had to go though. Also the way she worked in India tales and myths with this amazing love story. The ending of the book was sad and fab at the same time and leaves me wanting more and more i can't wait to see where Colleen Houck takes the next 4 book's. My hope's for tigers quest(book 2) is more adventure for Ren and Kesley.Hering more about the man who put the curse on the brothers. also for Kesley not to fall for Kishan(Ren's brother)charm's because she belongs with Ren. HELP ME june is to far away!

Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.

Intrinscal is a book treasure and worth it's weight in gold and diamonds with a totaly kick ass cover that I adore. From the prologue this book had it's grip on me and would not let go until the awesome ending. When I started reading Intrinsical I thought it was just going to be another ghost story but it was so much more than that which was such a nice change. What i loved most about this story is i just could not tell what was going to happen next and how the story was going to play out. The characters -Yara is amazing. Really well written and beliveable and likeable as a character. -Brent had me loving him from the start of the book -Cherie & Steve are both great characters.Cherie is the BFF every girl wants also I loved how open minded Steve seems to be. Favourite parts -How both Yara and Brent's family's all had a history at Pendrell. -When Brent makes it snow for Yara.(so cute) -The way Yara wanted to save Brent before herself and he wanted to do the same thing for her. Parts that made me cry -when Yara & Brent's song played on the radio. -the scence when Yara is saying goodbye to Cherie in the pool house. Intrinsical is a must read for any YA fan. I really cant wait to where Lani Woodland takes this series next.What I would love to see in the 2nd book more about Vovo Yara's grandma. Loads more of Brent(a must). More ghost's and another beautiful cover. I really can't wait to read the follow up to this Amazing book.

4.5 STARS

First off i just want to say how much i love this cover and i really like the fact that if you look at the underside of it it has the blue print of Godspeed and where the authors bio is insted of the author picture you have amy in her cryo tank! I never really read scfi books apart from the host by s.meyer and this book but that might have to change because Across the universe was unlike anything i have ever read it had me from the 1st page when amy and her family where being cryogenically frozen and held me til the end because i had to know what all the secerts where on Godspeed. Amy and Elder are both great characters and i really enjoyed reading about them and loved how the chapters were written with Amy and Elder swapping POV each time. All the characters in this book made it what it was too. Across the universe is a totaly awesome book and all i can say is please please please beth write a 2nd book because i need to read more about Amy and Elder.
