Goodreads synopsis: Hunter Wild is the youngest in a long line of elite vampire hunters, a legacy that is both a blessing and a curse at the secret Helios-Ra Academy, where she excels at just about everything. Thanks to her friendship with Kieran Black, Hunter receives a special invitation to attend the coronation of Helena Drake, and for the first time, she sees the difference between vampires that must be hunted and vampires that can become friends—or even more. When students at the academy fall victim to a mysterious illness, Hunter suspects they are under attack from within. She will need someone she can trust to help her save the future of Helios-Ra . . . help that shockingly comes in the form of Quinn Drake, a drop-dead gorgeous vampire. Who said senior year would be easy?

    And

The Drakes and friends will be tested when an infestation of deadly vampires threatens Violet Hill.

Lucy's cousin Christabel has come to live in Violet Hill, and adjusting to the difference between life in a small mountain town and her home in the city is difficult enough. The strict curfew that Lucy's parents enforce is the worst part. Something really dangerous couldn't possibly happen in this tiny town.
But Christabel has noticed some mysterious happenings, and it seems like Lucy, her boyfriend Nicholas and his brother Connor are all in on a secret that Christabel doesn't understand—one that seems deadly serious. Although she won't admit it, Christabel would love to be in on any secret with Connor Drake. But when she is kidnapped by the ruthless Hel-Blar vampires, Christabel must cause more and more trouble in Violet Hill, Lucy and Connor finally fill Christabel in on all the undead drama. Together, they must find a way to stamp out the Hel-Blar for good.

Fate's thoughts: As always these book were perfect. They both had the right amount of both romance and action. They were past passed and interesting. Of course there was this huge cliff hanger at the end of Bleeding Hearts, I can't wait till i get my hands on the next one.

Goodreads synopsis: Vigilance. The mission to safeguard Nikki Youngblood depends on the fragile alliance of two half-angel, half-human guardians, both struggling with intense feelings for the girl who has been assigned to their care. Mace, steadfast and deeply in love, wants to protect Nikki at all costs, while Raven's loyalty to Nikki finds him advocating for her independence and battling his own darker inclinations. At the same time, Nikki finds it harder and harder to choose between the two heavenly beings she may never have. Dangers intensify, and tensions between Mace and Raven flare as the purpose of their mission becomes clear. Can their defenses hold up to master manipulator Damon Vessler and the powerful secret he holds regarding Nikki's heritage? Can anyone protect Nikki from her true purpose and destiny?

Fate's thoughts: I don't want to spoil the series for anyone so i wont go in detail. Also if you haven't read the first book in the series, please do.  I loved this book. Its filled with action and discovery. We learn some really unsuspected things in this book. Although, i was frustrated with the romance because quite frankly i felt like she was stringing both Mace and Raven along. She did kind of lean toward Mace however, since I'm team Raven, I was a very unhappy camper but i got over it. I liked all the characters except Mace, as i said I'm team Raven so that might affect my Pov, but i just didn't agree with how he acted. He was way too overprotective of Nikkie and uptight and all alpha male. Nikkie's character was great in this installment of the series. She did have her damsel i distress moments but most of the time she was bad ass, especially in the end. Oh my god, the ending nearly killed me. Worst Cliff hanger ever(in a good way). The ending was completely open with both the romance and basically everything else. i cant wait for the next installment and i completely recommend this series to all ages 14+.

Goodreads synopsis:Gabriel Merrick plays with fire. Literally.

Sometimes he can even control it. And sometimes he can’t. Like the fire that killed his parents.

Gabriel has always had his brothers to rely on, especially his twin, Nick. But when an arsonist starts wreaking havoc on their town, all the signs point to Gabriel. Only he’s not doing it.

More than Gabriel’s pride is at stake -- this could cost him his family, maybe his life. And no one seems to hear him. Except a shy sophomore named Layne, a brainiac who dresses in turtlenecks and jeans and keeps him totally off balance. Layne understands family problems, and she understands secrets. She has a few of her own.

Gabriel can’t let her guess about his brothers, about his abilities, about the danger that’s right at his heels. But there are some risks he can’t help taking.

The fuse is lit…

Fate's thoughts: Before I start my rant on how good this book is I'm going to admit to the sad fact that i still haven't read the first book in the series. Yes, Yes I know, shame on me. I truly regret it after reading this book. I didn't really have to read the first book in order to understand this book, but i still cant wait till i get my hands on it. That's just how good this book is.

    Ten pages into this book, i fell completely in love with Gabriel(most of the time i wanted to give him a big bear hug). He's a really complicated character (did i mention that i love complicated characters). He's also a sweet and kind guy, but he's also broken and has anger issues. He's very self conscious of the fact that he cant control his power, especially after everything he's been through. He's flawed, but sweet and completely adorable.

     I also love the family in this book. The boys fight and aren't always pleased with each other, but are always loyal to each other. I have to say, i was hoping that Spirit  Was going to be about Nick. Although there is that novella that i can not wait for.

   There was also Layne, the love interest. i liked her character. She had her own dysfunctional family that she had to deal with. The dynamic between herand her brother was great, i loved it. We get to see into her mind for a good portion of the book. I was immediately curious about her and the fact that she had secrets of her own. Her relationship with Gabriel felt right. it didn't feel forced or fake. They fit together like puzzle pieces. I loved them together.

     All in all, this book was amazing, it was filled with heat(no pun intended) and was a beautiful read. I can not wait for the next installment in this lovely series.

Goodreads synopsis:Rose Zarelli, self-proclaimed word geek and angry girl, has some confessions to make…1. I'm livid all the time. Why? My dad died. My mom barely talks. My brother abandoned us. I think I'm allowed to be irate, don't you?

2. I make people furious regularly. Want an example? I kissed Jamie Forta, a badass guy who might be dating a cheerleader. She is now enraged and out for blood. Mine.

3. High school might as well be Mars. My best friend has been replaced by an alien, and I see red all the time. (Mars is red and "seeing red" means being angry—get it?)

Here are some other vocab words that describe my life: Inadequate. Insufferable. Intolerable.

(Don't know what they mean? Look them up yourself.)

(Sorry. That was rude.)

Fate's thoughts: Let me first say, i absolutely love the chapter headings. They give a little hint as to what is going to happen in that chapter, they teach me a little something new and they're a part of Rose's personality. As to the actual book, I liked it. Rose's voice is laced with anger and i can see why. her voice is also young, and quite frankly I haven't read a voice like hers in quite a while, and i enjoyed it. I ended up loving this book and i don't know how in going to manage waiting for the next book Confessions of an almost girlfriend.
  Thanks to Harlequin teen for giving me this opportunity.

Goodreads synopsis: Daphne is the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Life for her is an endless expanse of time, until her brother Obie is kidnapped—and Daphne realizes she may be partially responsible.

Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie’s whereabouts. As she delves deeper into her demonic powers, she must navigate the jealousies and alliances of the violent archangels who stand in her way.

Fate's thoughts: The premise of this book is really good. Unfortunately i really do not like the writing style of the author and after a hundred pages i wasn't able to go on. It's not really the book i don't like its just the style, the way its written just doesn't agree with me.

Goodreads synopsis:When Cassie moves from the tiny town where she has always lived to a suburb of Seattle, she is determined to leave her boring, good-girl existence behind. This is Cassie’s chance to stop being invisible and become the kind of girl who’s worth noticing.

Stepping into her new identity turns out to be easier than Cassie could have ever imagined… one moment, one choice, changes everything.

Cassie’s new existence both thrills and terrifies her. Swept into a world of illicit parties and social landmines, she sheds her virginity, embraces the numbness she feels from the drugs, and floats through it all, knowing that she is now called beautiful. She ignores the dangers of her fast-paced life… but she can’t sidestep the secrets and the cruelty.

Cassie is trapped in a swift downward spiral tinged with violence and abuse, and no one—not even the one person she thought she could trust—can help her now.

Fate's thoughts: When i looked at the cover of this book i thought it would be a light read. I was wrong. this book is very real and emotional and definetly deppresing. In fact i propbably wouldn't reccomend it for cerstain age groups. This book was a deppressingly raw and honest version of a modern day teen's life. It deffinetly reduced me to tears a couple of times. On other ocations it had me sad but angry. The only emotion i didnt feel with this book was happiness. But that doesnt mean it wasnt a good book. The only issues i had with this book was that one we never foound out why her family moved or anything about her life before. Two, this book was a little slowpaced for my taste. Other that that this book was a great but age limited read.

Goodreads synopsis:      We all want to be remembered. Charlotte's destiny is to be Forgotten...

Charlotte’s best friend thinks Charlotte might be psychic. Her boyfriend thinks she’s cheating on him. But Charlotte knows what’s really wrong: She is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth, who feels the Need—a powerful, uncontrollable draw to help someone, usually a stranger.

But Charlotte never wanted this responsibility. What she wants is to help her best friend, whose life is spiraling out of control. She wants to lie in her boyfriend's arms forever. But as the Need grows stronger, it begins to take a dangerous toll on Charlotte. And who she was, is, and will become--her mark on this earth, her very existence--is in jeopardy of disappearing completely.

Charlotte will be forced to choose: Should she embrace her fate as a Forgotten, a fate that promises to rip her from the lives of those she loves forever? Or is she willing to fight against her destiny--no matter how dark the consequences.

Fate's thoughts: The angel part of this book is great but the everyday life, not so much. Charlotte is an angel that helps people avoid thing that will happen to them and end up killing them. But she's a Forgotten, she's eventually going to fade away completely forgotten by everyone around her. Her Need rows stronger and she's eventually going to be forced to let go of everyone she knows and loves.I really liked the concept of Charlotte fading away bit by bit as she helped people. it put a refreshing twist on the normal angel story. However i really didn't like the romance in the book, which is very unusual for me. The MC and the love interest met in a time before the book so it didn't develope in front of are eyes. I never really had time to like Harlin. Other than that i really liked the book and will be looking forward to reading the sequel.
