Seventeen-year-old Lacey Kind doesn’t have the guts to talk to cute boys, isn’t a size two, and would rather stay home and listen to music than go to a party. But in the summer before her first year of college, she ends up thousands of miles away from home, in the back of a tour bus, underneath the half-naked body of the hottest teen rock star in the country.

When Lacey and her best friend Trina sneak into a Boston nightclub to see their favorite band, they not only get to watch their rock gods perform for the first time, but score a chance to meet the band too. Lacey’s heart races as she comes face-to-face with her idol, nineteen-year-old lead singer, Logan Shire.

The girls charm their way into being hired to sell merchandise on Lansdowne’s first summer tour. As “merch girls” Lacey and Trina quickly find themselves transported from their ordinary, suburban life to an exhilarating few months on the road. But they soon realize that life on the road isn’t always a smooth ride...

Reading the description for this novel I was almost drooling: sexy rockstars, yes please!

Lacey and her best friend Trina have no clue that sneaking into a club to see their favourite band is going to get them a one way ticket to having the most extraordinary summer of their lives.

Meeting the band is just the start, Lacey and Trina are offered jobs as the bands "Merch Girls," selling merchandise at every stop on the tour, saving money for college, and getting to spend time with the band, but things don't quite go smoothly as they quickly find out...

Lacey is a shy girl who has never had a boyfriend and is constantly under-minding and doubting herself, she is likable and easy enough to relate to. I found her negativity and tendency to put herself down to be a bit annoying, same with the way she could be quite judging of others, however, she grew up a lot and learned more as the story progressed. She came into her own and opened her eyes a lot, while getting over some of her hang-ups.

Trina was mostly likable, she played the part of the best friend amazingly and could be so easy to relate to, although she could also be slightly hypocritical and judgmental.

Logan is gorgeous, down to earth, and kind - definitely book boyfriend material!

I enjoyed this novel most in the second half, when Lacey had undergone some character development and when I got to witness more of Lacey's interactions with other characters, rather than simply being told what happened. The interractions between characters were realistic and sweet - there were several dramas throughout the novel that kept the plot moving and made me crave the sweeter moments all the more.

I loved the entire ending of this novel - Merch Girl conclusion was perfectly written in a realistic manner than will leave readers very happy indeed.

The banter in this story, along with the romance were my favourite aspect of this novel and kept me entertained and swooning - a thoroughly enjoyable read overall - Rebecca Lewis knows her stuff!

I rate Merch Girl Four out of Five!!!

4. The number of times my delicate wings have been broken and clamped behind my back. 

68. The number inked upon my skin, marking me the sixty-eighth pixie to be stolen.

87. The number of days I’ve been wrongfully imprisoned.

88. The first day the faeries will regret stealing me.

Healthy. Cheery. Vivacious. 

All traits Rosalie has before becoming enslaved by the faeries to make an endless supply of pixie dust. Now that Rosalie has been traumatized by slave labor, extreme desolate conditions and multiple deaths, this hardened pixie is anything but. When this rebellious teenager attempts an escape, she’s isolated in cramped quarters until she learns her place. 

Just as she begins to let go of all that hope, she finds an unlikely friend in Jack, the faerie assigned to guard her. Interspecies dating is forbidden in the fae world, so their growing attraction is unacceptable. And even if Jack can find a way to free her, they know the prison is the only place they can truly be together.

Clean YA Fantasy.

Buy Dust on: Amazon, B&N, Kobo 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The further I read, the more I grew to love Dust (I finished reading Dust in one stting), and I am so beyond glad that I had the opportunity to read this novel, books two and three are now residents on my to-read list!

Rosalie is happy within the community of her Hollow, even if she prefers her own company whilst hanging out in nature, to being around others, she's never considered leaving.

Sadly, leaving is not her choice, when she is kidnapped by faeries and forced into being a slave and labouring to make pixie dust for the faeries whilst under guard.

They try to reduce her to a number, try to break her spirit with deplorable living conditions, but Rosalie is not bound to give in. After a failed escape attempt, she is isolated in a desolate prison where they will do anything they can to break her, and they just might have, if Jack (a faerie) hadn't been assigned to guard her...

Escape may be the only way that Rosalie will survive intact, but escaping means not being around Jack anymore...

Rosalie is a curious and bright pixie who loves nature and was happy with the simplicity of her life before she was snatched away from everything she knew.

Rosalie has to deal with so many things that have broken others before her, yet she is determined to stay true to herself and not give in to despair, she has low points but still takes any opportunity she can to fight back. She is considerate of others, set in her mind with what is right and wrong, and absolutely refuses to give in and relinquish her will to survive or her identity. Her actions and feeling inspire you to feel utter compassion for her and root for her to prevail and get a happily ever after.

Jack has a rocky start but soon enough his true disposition shows through and you can't help but love him in his kindness. Jack is kind, smart and most definitely very sarcastic, but he is also incredibly gorgeous to say the least.

The interactions between Rosalie and Jack, and the way their relationship develops was amazing to see, beautiful, sweet and heartfelt.
Relationships between faeries and pixies are not accepted and it's kind of heart-breaking to be in Rosalie's head, knowing how she's feeling and how she sees no way that it can work between her and Jack.

Dust was amazingly well-written, intensely provocative in regards to emotions, Devon perfectly describes slavery and the harsh cruelty of it in her writing, without underplaying it - the way she wrote it was brilliantly realistic and harrowing.

The writing style is beautifully descriptive in a way that allows you to easily imagine each and every scene, and I love how the novels cover is so accurate to the story.

A phenomenal novel, Dust is a book you want to spend time getting immersed in, and it has a very strong and admirable ending - I can't wait for book two Stardust!

I rate Dust Five out of Five!!!

Fifteen-year-old Courtney Marlow didn't exactly think it through. She thought the offer to have her life broadcast on national television was the perfect solution to her family's financial troubles.

She was wrong.

Mackenzie Dahl, the show’s producer, promised to show Australia a real teenager. Courtney was going to be a positive role model, someone on television without a boob job and an eating disorder.

Soon, everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame via a little bit of Courtney – especially her conniving friend Katie, and her stepmother, Lola. And Courtney is just beginning to realise that ‘ordinary’ does not translate to ‘entertaining’…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Courtney Marlow is facing a tough year, being seen as 'the girl with the dead boyfriend' by the whole school she has trouble keeping herself together. She faces school, as well as auditioning for a reality TV show like her boyfriend would have wanted her too... this makes her life a hell of a lot more complicated and Courtney doesn't know who to trust.

This new reality TV show reveals the gaps in Courtneys life and pulls her world apart in ways that she never imagined would happen. Leaving her alone and powerless to a large, influencial company Courtney has no choice but to fight her way out. By any means possible.

Loathing Lola was a funny, intriguing and truely captivating novel which had me from the opening chapter. 

The realistic style that the characters were written in is a feature common to Will Kotakis' writing style. His characters are detailed to a good degree but not described to the point where nothing is left to the readers imagination. 

Even the character developments are cleverly portrayed and executed, with the relationships and friendships developing at a realistic rate. 

The friendships weren't just portrayed as happy with no issues, they actually reflected the complications and rollercoaster pathway that most friendships have, especially in times of great hardship. 

The relationships between characters displayed the highs and lows of friendship and that some friendships can remain strong no matter what happens and that a little trust can go a long way.

With twists and turns at every corner Loathing Lola kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat for most of the duration of the novel,- as soon as I thought that I had the ending figured out, something new would happen and turn my perceptions on their head once more.

Surprisingly I enjoyed this book even more than the other Will Kostakis novel I have read, The First Third, it was everything I expected it to be and more.

I simply cannot wait to read more by Will!

I rate Loathing Lola Four out of Five!!!

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do.

Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run.

Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her.

But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought.

There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her.

And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Do you want me to call you Celery Stick instead of Cupcake or Honey-Pie? It just doesn’t inspire the same warm and fuzzy feelings.” 

The Bloodlines series continues to leave me amazed and desperate for more and this latest installment definately does not dissapoint.

The Indigo Spell continues Sydney's story from just after the point that The Golden Lily ended at.

As in The Golden Lily, it opens into a few scenes which remind us how the Alchemists feel towards the Vampire races and provides more insight into Sydney's ralationship with her own race in conrast to that whith her Vampire friends.

As Sydney constantly battles to keep the identity of her Vampire friends a secret from the humans surrounding them she must also hide her friendshipfrom the other Alchemists.
She finds herself getting pulled into a battle of good versus evil to save not only everyone she cares about but the innocents nearby from an scheming witch who could do no limit of bad. On top of these situations she finds herself falling deeply for Moroi Vampire and commonly-known bad boy Adrian.

Despite them having a mutual understanding of each other that runs deeper that she is willing to accept Sydney must decide if she will follow her head or her heart.

With another excessively long list of hilariarity and absoloutely gorgeous moments what isn't to love about The Indigo Spell??

 I for one adore it and found it just as good as it the books before it. The inclusion of magical elements and new characters is something that was well done and didn't feel as though it had been rushed or an after though.

 Marcus was quite a pushy character and im sure that we havnt seen the last of him. Although I disliked him because of his pushiness and self-assured attitude I find that he was quite a well written character besides that and I like the idea behind him and his group.
Quite a few of the plot twists involving Angeline were ones that at this stage seem to be quite unnecessary although I am sure that more shall be revealled in The Fiery Heart.

Aaaaarrgghhh!!! I simply cannot express my excitement for The Fiery Heart it is the book I absoloutely CANNOT wait for this year and would just about kill for!! Aargh! More Adrian!! <3

“Adrian shook his head, still smiling. "I've said over and over, I'd do anything for you. I just keep hoping it'll be something like, 'Adrian, let's go hot-tubbing' or 'Adrian, take me out for fondue.'"
"Well, sometimes we have to--did you say fondue?" Sometimes it was impossible to follow Adrian's train of thought. "Why in the world would I ever say that?"
He shrugged. "I like fondue.”

I rate The Indigo Spell Five out of Five!!!

Cayden Rivers wants nothing more than to be normal, but we don’t always get what we want. For years he has been hiding a secret, afraid of being labeled a “freak”. Every day he goes to school, plays football, spends time with his girlfriend, and helps carry his drunken adopted father to bed. Nobody knows the truth about his unnatural speed and strength, including his life-long friend Camilla.

Suddenly, four strangers enter Cayden’s life, and not only do they know his secret, they also have one of their own. With their help, Cayden discovers there is more to his power, something much more dangerous. Something other people will kill to possess.

Camilla wishes her parents were around more. She gets lonely sleeping in her big empty house night after night. Sure, she has all the money she could ever need, but the only person who is there for her is Cayden. He has his own family and a girlfriend who takes up most of his time, so Camilla knows he won’t be there for her forever, and recently he’s been acting really strange.

Will Cayden be able to keep his secret and his friendship with Camilla, or will his new found power destroy everything, including his own life?

Switching between Cayden and Camilla's point of view, Twisted will leave you aching for more.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The description of Twisted caught my attention straight away and meant that I absolutely HAD to read it!

Cayden and Cam (short for Camille) have been best friends are practically their entire lives.

Cayden is not an average guy, he has super speed and super strength, ever since he hit puberty. Not wanting to be labelled a "freak," he always kept his powers totally to himself, not telling his sister, his girlfriend, or even his best friend.

Cam is tired of being lonely - her parents are ever around - so when Cayden starts to become distant she becomes very concerned. The reason Cayden is acting is because he's learned that there's more to his powers while having met others with secrets of their own. He discovers that his powers are worth killing for, so are his new powers really a gift, or will they ruin everything and maybe even take his life?

Cayden is a good guy, he tries to look out for those he cares about while keeping his powers under wraps, he's a great characters and while some of his actions are funny, some of them are also quite sweet.

Camille is, mostly, perceptive, she's sweet but lonely and really just wants people to care about her. Her friendship with Cayden is absolutely gorgeous, their scenes together are some of my favourites. Though, I have to say that both Cayden and Cam can be a little dense at times.

There are other characters that are hilarious, cocky, some are crazy, and more than a couple are entirely lovable! The characters dynamics and relationships were incredible, although a couple of them did feel really quite shallow, the rest, however, were ones I simply couldn't get enough of. The plot is pacey and intriguing with unique revelations and some immensely awesome action.

An incredibly nice, short read that I read in one sitting, Twisted literally does eave you wanting more of these characters and I think it's almost a given that I'll be checking out the sequels!

I rate Twisted Four out of Five!!!

Twisted Excerpt - 

 I don’t know how to explain how I am, what I am. Ever since I hit puberty, I’ve been different. I was thirteen when the changes started happening. I started getting incredibly fast and strong. It wasn’t normal. I wasn’t normal. I was turning into a freak. I could crumple a brick in my hand like it was a piece of paper. When I ran, I was passing cars on the freeway and that wasn’t even me running at full speed. When I was running at full speed I wasn’t much more than a blur to anyone else. I never understood how this happened, or why it happened to me.

Previously homeschooled Camie Ramsey is being shoved into the shark-infested waters of public high school, where even helium filled, penguin bespeckled arm floaties likely won’t help keep her inexperienced, fifteen-year old head above water in that rip current of hormones and emotions.

Camie’s worldly wisdom might be severely lacking (i.e., the closest she’s come to being kissed was sitting too close to the TV whilst Jake Ryan leaned in to give Samantha that fateful 16th birthday kiss), but she does understand her only hope for survival is if she’s thrown some kind of “social” life preserver before she sinks like a freaking rock. However, what will her fate be when she endeavors to flag down the only lifeguard on duty, the enormously popular and ridiculously beautiful Tristan Daniels? The most sought after and virtually most unattainable guy in school who not only makes Camie’s heart flatline on a recurring basis, he’s also the one guy who seemingly doesn’t know she exists.

Feeling like an inept piece of chum that could ultimately be swallowed by Jaws, can Camie get Tristan to rescue her from floundering in the treacherous deep, or is she destined to be Shark Bait?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This book definitely sounded cute when I decided to sign up for this blog tour, but now that I've read Shark Bait, I can honestly say that it is a most phenomenal read.

Now, you may be asking yourself if you should pick it up and give the story a chance...

My opinion is that there is no question about it - if you want a hilarious, sassy, romantic and slightly dramatic read, then pick this novel up immediately!

This novel surprised me from the very beginning...

Camie is almost sixteen and is starting high school for the very first time after being home-schooled her entire life. She's nervous and really wants to make friends. Navigating the social water of high school is a whole new experience, and there is a lot that Camie has to learn, especially when she set eyes on Tristan.

Tristan Daniels - sexy as hell and a completely new level of attainable, but Camie can't resist him, now all she needs is to get his attention - and hold it!

Will she succeed?

Camie is definitely sassy, she has a lot of attitude and very little patience, and maybe a slight temper too. Oh, and she has great taste in music :)

Tristan is drop dead gorgeous, complicated as hell, and more stubborn than a mule (still, a very cute mule) and very protective - you'll see!

Jillian is absolutely wicked, and I don't just mean awesome - she's an evil genius!

Kate is brilliant with her many incredible insights and friendly personality, while Jeff is a gorgeous clown.

The character dynamics are beyond genius, and very quickly you begin to really go for the characters and hope for certain outcomes.

There are some games, the forming of awesome friendships and brilliant alliances and the some definite errors in judgement. Readers are also able to look forward to plenty of movie and T.V. quotes, more than a few puns, and hilarious metaphors galore.

This novel will have you shaking with laughter, totally swooning 100% and almost wishing some of these characters were real! Pacey and addictive, this novel will catch you hook, line and sinker, there's absolutely no doubt about it.

I rate Shark Bait Five out of Five!!!

In Shark Bait, readers everywhere met and fell in love with the new girl, Camie Ramsey, and swooned over her sure to be future husband, Tristan Daniels. Now, in The Other Fish in the Sea, the long awaited second installment of the Grab Your Pole series by Jenn Cooksey, Camie and Tristan are back, but so are their friends!

So, find a breathing apparatus and shimmy into your scuba gear, because it's finally time to dive deeper into the lives of the GYP gang, but be warned, it's a big world out there and an even bigger ocean where danger might be lurking around the next corner and realistically, anything could happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These novels are so immersive, they drag you in and make you feel the feels ad want the best for the characters, and they definitely provoke a reaction in the reader - whether it is to feel shocked, or to burst out laughing.

And, just so you know, this review is actually really difficult to write because I am THAT desperate to get started on the next book!

In The Other Fish in the Sea, not too much time has passed since the events of Shark Bait.

Relationships between the characters are changing, some even intensifying and a lot is going to happen that will challenge them greatly.

Camie, despite knowing more than she did in Shark Bait, is still very naive and not all that aware of the consequences of some of the things she says and does.

Tristan seems to have settled into his new role well, though that's not to say everything is completely easy. Jillian (aka The Evil Genius, among other names) is more brilliant than ever, though also more mysterious. While Jeff (I absolutely love him!) and Kate (who is beyond awesome) are dealt their own set of cards...

This novel is the ultimate roller-coaster of emotions and events, every twist literally brings a new surprise. The Other Fish in the Sea isn't just told from Camie's point of view, it's told from a few others as well, though Camie still tells most of the story. I loved getting to know more about the rest of the group and everyone else's situations and feelings.

You aren't told which chapters are from which characters perspective, so stay alert and, like Jenn warns at the start of the novel, if you begin reading a new chapter and get confused, then it is probably from a different characters view-point. It is actually really fun deciphering all the clues and little mysteries throughout the novel (I was very pleased with myself for guessing correctly on some of the things going on).

I have to say that some chapters took me quite some time to actually get through because I was laughing so much at what was happening, although this book does have some more serious aspects to it.

In conclusion to review of The Other Fish in the Sea, there are only a few things I can really say: That ending! Oh my god! I need to start Shark Out of Water RIGHT NOW!!! Oh, and when picking up The Other Fish in the Sea, be sure to have book three on hand for continuation, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't!

I rate The Other Fish in the Sea Five out of Five!!!

In Shark Out of Water, the highly anticipated third installment in this humorous yet honest and real coming of age story, we delve even further into the lives of the GYP gang and many questions are sure to be answered, however, are you really ready for what lies ahead in the continuation of their adventure?

 Well, grab your pole and let’s find out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the absolutely, positively shocking ending to The Other Fish in the Sea, I hated sparing even a minute before delving head first into this novel...

This book is quite a lot more serious in aspects than the first two.

Told from multiple view-points - this story was surprising from the get-go, and continues to have a gripping story-line. It's also very much about not jumping to conclusions  without all the facts.

Once again in this series, Tristan is being beyond stubborn about something, while Camie continues to be slightly self-absorbed and selfish. Jeff's attitude will surprise readers (I think) and so will Kate's.

Jillian would have to one of my favourite characters of this series.

Shark Out of Water is much more fast paced than Shark Bait and The Other Fish in the Sea.

I really do encourage reader's who love contemporary romance to just give this series the attention it deserves and pick up the books as soon as their can - although this series is quite evocative in the emotional department.
