Still reading two books

Nothing like going against the government and getting in contact with a wanted man. Bird was supposed to report to Roosevelt when ever she got in contact with Coffee. Well, she didn't. She feels that he is the only one that is able to tell her what happened. Bird also has a feeling that she is being watched and all this other spying stuff. It is so bad that she doesn't even feel safe enough to call Coffee in her uncle's house or use her cell phone. She broke curfew just so she could call him. She didn't learn much though. Poor girl. Also she has a mother who it acting as if Bird asked to be drugged and that she must apologize to the party host immediately. The woman needs to cut the crap about appearances and be more concerned about her child. Anyways, I finished the chapter with Coffee hanging up on Bird. Also I noticed that each chapter has a name of a drug and it's elemental formula. Its pretty cool. Of course, in order for me to finish this book instead of throwing it on the bookshelf to never read it again. I gave myself a little bit of motivation. Since the chapters are so long, I told myself the for every chapter I read in this book, I can read three chapters out of Opal. Its working so far and I love it.
So Daemon finally took Katy on their first official date. It was pretty sweet of him. He arranged to have a fancy table set up at an Italian restaurant. I mean it had candles and everything. Katy told him that is was really romantic which made it pretty awesome. Daemon just wanted to hear the how awesome he was part. Like his ego needed to get any bigger. Anyways, their date ended with a make-out session that got interrupted by a phone call. Complete mood killer. Apparently Dawson booked it and had gone missing. Making the date come to a complete halt. How dare you Dawson? Anyways, Katy does something that Daemon doesn't like. She promised Dawson that they would help him find Beth. Daemon then tells Katy that it wasn't her problem because Dawson wasn't her family. She made a point that if it was Daemon's problem, then it was hers. It was because they were in it together. Then Daemon makes the mistake saying that they weren't together in everything. Katy ended up telling him then they couldn't be together at all if not in everything. I give the girl props for doing that, but was it the right move? Its like a soap opera right now and I kind of love it. I wonder what Daemon is going to do now that Katy says they can no longer be a couple. So until next time.....

Reading two books at once

I'm trying to be really talented and read two books at once. Only because I want to read a certain book before my mom. Its a thing we have, sometimes I don't even understand it.
So, one of the books I'm reading is the third book in the Lux series, Opal. We had the second book end with Daemon's brother magically appearing at his house after they went on a wild goose chase to find him. Anyways, there have been some adjustment issues. Dawson can't sleep and it's affecting Daemon and Dee. Also I think it affecting Katy because he tends to appear in her bedroom, and that is how the book starts. Dawson watching Katy sleep. Creepy much? Luckly Daemon appears in the house and Dawson leaves. Then Daemon wants to spend some time with Katy and things were getting steamy until something comes crashing through the bedroom window. Apparently someone was spying and Dawson ended up killing the person and it threw him threw the window. It ended up with a meeting and having Katy pretty shaken up. Also Katy realizes that nothing is going to be the same between her and Dee. If you read the second book, you'll know why. I wish I could tell you, but that would ruin it all.
The second book that I'm reading, you'll already know about. Love Is The Drug won't be out until September 30th, but I will be happy to tell you all about it. Okay, maybe not all of it. That would just ruin the book. Anyways, our main character Bird wakes up in a hospital after a night out with her boyfriend. I think I remember telling you that they were invited to a party to get internships and jobs with some very important people. But after some certain events that Bird can't seem to remember, she ends up in the hospital. The story that she was told was that she was drinking and her drink was laced with a homemade drug. She panicked when someone came running after the car and she took over the wheel, making her and her boyfriend get in a car accident. The person who supposedly placed a drug in her drink would be her secret crush Coffee. Bird has a feeling that this story could possibly not true. She knows something in wrong and she wants to remember what really happened. I'm kind of curious on what really happened. Obviously her boyfriend Paul gave her something and in putting the blame on an easy out. Coffee must of seen it all happen, making that a reason too on why the government is now after him. This book just got really interesting.
So, I told myself that I'd read on chapter out of one book for every three chapters out of the other. I figured that would be the most efficient way to read the two books at the same time. So until next time......


Reading Love Is The Drug by Alaya Dawn Johnson

So I got this book in the mail technically yesterday, but since I don't think its a new day until the sun is actually up, I'll say today. Anyways, I have no idea what this book is about. I thought the cover was cool and entered the contest to get it for free. Also I thought it was time that I got another advance copy to help an author out. So I have until the 30th to tell you all about the book and what I think about it. Yay!
So here is what I gathered so far. Its not much since the book it kind of confusing to me and I'm not sure what is going on. Our main character is Bird. Emily Bird to be more exact, but she likes to go by Bird. Anyways, she is part of a group of students that are rich and have connections to some very important people. The books starts off at a party that someone threw in order to help the students get internships and jobs for the summer. You can tell that Bird feels uncomfortable in this lifestyle, but she won't complain in hopes of making her mother happy. She also has a secret crush on the school druggie, Coffee. His real name is Alanso, but I guess he goes by a nickname as well. Anyways, there will be nothing between Coffee and Bird because it would ruin her image, plus she has a boyfriend named Paul. But I think the chapter ends with Paul selling her out to the CIA and pretty much takes her to them. I'm not a hundred percent sure. So far this book is a little complicated for my simple mind. Its interesting. I'll give it that. But I don't think I'm going to care for it much. We will see. I only read the first chapter. Too soon to judge the book right now.
Also I'll got back to reading Original Sin as soon as I finish this book. But, I have a poll going on to see what you think I should read next. Barely Breathing or Love Gone Mad. Both books I've read the first chapter, and both books sound really good right now. So help me pick out my next book by voting. The book with the most votes will be my next book for this blog. I can't wait to see what you guys choose. So until next time.....

Paused reading Original Sin

I'm not sure where to begin. I know I have to explain why I stopped reading Original Sin. Not only am I dragging my feet reading it, I ended up getting an advance copy of another book in the mail. So me being the responsible reader that I am, I feel like I have to finish this new book before it comes out. I figured it be fair to the author if I told you guys what I thought right away. Also I'm trying to decide what book to read after Original Sin. I can choose between two of them. I read the first chapter of both books and they are book really good so far. But, I'll have a poll up for you guys to vote which book you think I should read next. It will be something a little different. Also I have a duplicate book and if a friend of mine doesn't want it, I'll be having a giveaway for it. Things are happening. I might even giveaway books that I don't want to make more room on my book shelf. But first the poll. So until next time......

Started reading Original Sin by Lisa Desrochers

I am reading yet another sequel to a book that I have read a year ago. All I remember is that a demon came to earth from Hell looking for a girl to tag for Hell. The demon found the girl, making her gaurdian angel appear. Angel and demon fight over girl as if they are high school boys trying to win the girl over. Demon falls in love with girl. Girl unknownly turns demon human. Huge battle happens for the girl's soul. Girl gets tagged for Heaven instead of Hell. Everyone lives happily ever after. Okay maybe not if there is a second book. But the girl now has a new guardian angel which is her dead twin brother. So here are the names of the characters in the book. We have our girl, Frannie. Her twin brother slash guardian angel, Matt. Then Frannie's demon turned human boyfriend, Luc. I just started the book so right now nothing exciting is going on. But according to the back of the book, the fact that Luc was a demon is about to bite them all in the butt. Matt hates Luc and is hoping the demons take Luc back. Only problem is that Luc is tagged for Heaven after, I believe, risking his own life to save Frannie's. Word hadn't gotten out yet that Luc is now human and tagged for Heaven. So when the head of security comes for him, he is nice enough to inform them. Well, things are about to get interesting. So until next time.....

Finished reading Onyx

Nothing like a big battle breaking out, followed by a kidnapping, and then a heart felt reunion to make you not want to put the book down. Anyways, I finished Onyx and I'm pretty blown away. Also, since its been a theme in the past few books I've read, someone has to die. Actually there were a lot of deaths in this book, but most of it were bad guys. Only because Daemon is a bad ass. Anyways, the huge battle that broke out in the book was pretty epic. I have a feeling that every book in the Lux Series is going to have at least one major battle in it. Anyways, the battle happens after Katy finds out who Blake really is. Yes he is a hybrid like her, but the big secret is something you never see coming. She didn't even see coming. But once you learn about the secret, it all makes complete sense. Anyways, Blake threatens Katy that he was turning her in to the DOD. Katy freaks out and Dee comes up to the door, ready to take Katy to a party. In order to protect Dee, Katy says some hurtful things. Only thing is that Dee came back with her boyfriend and started to fight. Things weren't going so well, and then Daemon came to save the day. Yay Daemon! I can see now why I used a fictional character to protect me from my mother. Didn't work obviously, but it sure made an interesting sight. But back to the book. After the battle was done, Katy finally admits her feelings for Daemon. So now I guess they are a couple. Sadly their time of peace was short lived and Katy gets kidnapped. She gets used to draw Daemon in to take part in a twisted plot to make someone a mutant. I had my suspicions on who it was, but it is still shocking. Also the way they capture Katy reminded me of another book I've read, but I can't put my finger on what the book was. Oh, now I do. The same kind of tactic happened in the Hush Hush Series. Only the car crashed and the girl was saved by her boyfriend before she was used to bring him into a wanted location. I was kind of hoping that would happen in Katy's case, but it didn't. Darn. But Katy gets saved, and then they rush to go save Daemon's brother, Dawson. Only fact is that they didn't find him at said location. So they go home thinking they will never see Dawson again. Only fact is Dawson is already home. Problem is he is like a walking zombie. I wonder if he'll ever get back to normal. I guess we'll never know until I get Opal, the third book in the series. So until next time.....

Reading Onyx part two

So before I start talking about Onyx, I'd like to ask a few questions. Really it is only one, but you get my drift. I'm kind of curious what you all want to see on this blog. Sure I talk about books and give you a picture of covers here and there. But there has to be more to it then that. I want to know that you guys want to see. I'm serious. If you guys wanted weekly videos about God knows what, I'd do it. Because I care about what you think. And now you are most likely laughing at me, because you think I'm a complete weirdo. Anyways, I do want to know what you want to see on this blog. Don't be afraid to give me some suggestions. You can even say how much you hate me in a comment, or gush over a hot guy on a book cover. I know I do that. The gushing over a hot guy on a book cover, not telling myself how much I hate myself. That isn't good for my health. Anyways, I want to hear more from you, so speak up and speak your mind. Now lets get talking about Onyx.
I'm about two thirds done with the book. Only because it has been my best friend during my sleepless nights. Okay, so my theory on Katy was wrong. That makes me sad. According to what I have learned, Daemon had healed her and mutated her DNA in the process. We learn this when Blake finally comes clean on what he really is. So these new mutated humans are called hybrids. Apparently the Department of Defenses, or more known as the DOD, are trying to use these hybrids to create an army. In theory. Anyways, Daemon is getting more jealous of Blake and he keeps refusing to trust the guy. All in good reasoning. I wouldn't trust a guy either if he was putting someone I care about in danger. Blake's reasoning is that he wouldn't do the things he did if he didn't know that Katy could defend herself. I'm really starting to hate the guy. So is Katy, after an incident involving the evil alien race, known as the Arum. Katy could of died and Blake didn't seem to care. Daemon really needs to give the guy a good ass whooping. Anyways, I just stopped reading when Daemon and Katy were making a video for her blog. Daemon didn't keep his word on keeping quiet. Just reading the incident was hilarious. I'm so happy I was alone in my room while I was reading the book, or my sudden burst of laughter would have my fam giving me strange looks. I'm loving the book so far and I can't wait to see how it will end. I'm pretty sure I'll still be up at five in the morning reading this book. So until next time.....
