Teaser Tuesday (1/9/2012) Angelina's Secret

Angelina's Secret
Author: Lisa Rogers
Teaser from page: 1 (Advanced Reading Copy)

Bits of her latest premonition--or nightmare, as her mother liked to call them--flashed through her mind. She could see a police car, the driver's door hanging open as the lights whirled an array of dizzying colors across the road.

Miz B hosts Teaser Tuesday every week, check her out for the official rules.  I never seem to be able to stick to the rule about only 2 sentences.

I love reading teasers so let me know where I can view yours in the comments. Have a great day!

Thanks to Becky at Page Turners for starting this meme and to Rose City Reader for inspiring it!

Golden City isn't your average tourist trap. Sure, it's got its tall building, and the one street everyone knows the crazies hang out on-the teens with green hair and lip piercings that tourists think are an attraction somehow.



I'm using The Rise of Renegade X for both of these lovely memes.

"That doesn't change the fact that you ruined things and now I'm over you."

She covers her eyes with her hands and sobs again.

Part of me wants to put my arms around her and comfort her and tell her I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that, and it's going to be okay.

The Friday 56

• Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
• Turn to page 56.

Friday Blog Hopping Fun (1/6/2012)

Happy Friday and welcome to one of my favorite places on the web:) I've always loved Follow Friday it's so fun to meet new bloggers. I haven't had a chance to participate in a while so this Friday and into the weekend I am making time to find some great new blogs. 

This weeks question is: Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?

So not to be a party pooper but, I literally have 9 FULL bookshelves in my house with unread books. Most of the shelves are double or triple stacked too. So....I won't be counting them all out but, I will guess that there are at least 250 unread books on those shelves. I'm starting to think that maybe I have a problem!

To sign up and join in the fun and to get all of the Friday Follow rules head on over to Parajunkee she has everything need to know.

Have a GREAT weekend! 

Neurotic Thoughts on Between by Mary Ting

Between (Crossroads Saga Book 2)
Author: Mary Ting
Expected Release Date: January 12, 2012
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Published by: World Castle Publishing
Source: Review copy sent to me for an honest review by Mary Ting

Summary from Goodreads:
As the alkins head back to Crossroads, Claudia leads her normal life; but not for long. Having a special soul, Claudia attracts danger, and she soon finds out who Gamma asked to watch over her. The Twelve, known as Divine Elders on Earth, are very much involved when they find out that Aliah, one of the God’s first angels, escaped from the Abyss when the gates were opened by Aden. Needing Claudia’s soul to escape the only place Aliah can reside–a place between Heaven and Earth–he sends his demons in search of all Claudia Emersons on Earth. Taking her soul will enable him to be released from Between and cross over to Crossroads, which would give him immense power. As more secrets are revealed Claudia learns about the venators—nephilim, demon hunters. Now two opposing forces must work together in order to save Claudia and humanity from the most dangerous angel ever created. But along the way, trust becomes a big issue. Will love be enough to keep Claudia and Michael together? Who will make the ultimate sacrifice? Who will betray them all?


WARNING THIS REVIEW MAY SOUND A BIT GUSHY!

Mary Ting has done it again! She has written a beautifully romantic and suspenseful tale of forbidden love. Micheal and Claudia's passion in Between will leave you breathless and wanting more.

Seriously-- Between blew me away! If you thought Crossroads was a roller coaster of emotions just wait until you read Between. The romance, lust, betrayal, action and heartache that I loved in Crossroads just got bigger and better in Between.   


Mary Ting has really stepped up her writing as well, I felt like everything flowed better and the dialogue felt more real. I loved that there were more details in Between as they really helped me as a reader experience the world and lives of the angels. As dreamy as Micheal is I found myself liking Austin more and more. I love how into Claudia Micheal is, but sometimes it feels a little over the top and Austin just seems a bit more real to me. The supporting characters  really shine and I can't wait to find out where Ting will take us in the next book. If you loved or even just liked Crossroads you are going to go crazy over Between!
