What if the job you took to stay alive might be what kills you?

Kade knows what it is to suffer. He knows what it’s like to lose everything and everyone around him. His job in a Stormer Unit guarantees not just his survival in the decimated country of Azetaria, but his sister Meg’s. Even if it means facing the Numachi warriors baying for his blood, he’ll do what it takes to keep her safe. Hadley is alone and surviving the only way she knows how. By hiding where predators won’t find her and scavenging enough just to keep her alive. When desperation drives Hadley to search for her missing brother, she mistakenly accepts the offer of recruitment into the Stormer’s camp, only to be partnered with Kade and sent as a scout into Numachi territory. The intimidating young Stormer may just know where her brother has gone. But can they stay alive long enough to find him?

BLOG TOUR: Toxic by Lydia Kang

I'm really excited to be on the Blog Tour for Toxic by Lydia Kang! I received an early e-copy of this book for honest review, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Thank you so much to YA Bound Book Tours, Entangled Teen, and Lydia Kang for letting me be a part of this fun tour! I knew as soon as I saw the cover that I had to read it, I just had to.

Author: Lydia Kang

Synopsis: Cyclo, the first and largest biological ship of its kind, is dying. A small crew of mercenaries have handed over the rights to their life to document the death of the ship, but the abandoned ship is anything but abandoned—one girl has been left behind.

Hana has known nothing but the isolation of a single room and the secret that has kept her there for seventeen years. When she meets Fennec, the boy assigned to watch her, she realizes that there is a world she has yet to experience but she is doomed to never meet.

When crew members begin mysteriously dying, Hana and Fenn realize that they are racing against the death of the ship to find a way to survive—unless someone kills them even before Hana’s truly had a chance to live.

My Thoughts: What a ride, What a book! I love stories like this. It was a mix of science fiction, romance, horror, and it was awesome! I loved how all the elements of the story combined. I couldn't stop reading it.

Science Fiction stories are one of my favorite genres to read. I just can't seem to get enough of them. So Toxic, with its space element, an "empty" ship, and the mystery that surrounds it all gripped me right from page one. It was a lot of fun to read.

I really enjoyed Lydia Kang's writing, the way she can tell a story. I'm definitely going to be reading more by her.

The romance was cute too. Cute, cute, cute.

I'd definitely recommend giving Toxic a read. I don't think you'd regret it. If sci-fi, mystery, murder, horror, and romance are your thing, then Toxic is the perfect book to escape into. I'm so happy I got the chance to read it. Thank you again to Entangled Teen, YA Bound Book Tours, and Lydia Kang for having me on this Tour.

October 2018 Wrap-Up!

This is everything I read in October 2018! Not a bad month really.

  

  

-- Pitch Dark by Courtney Alameda -- I enjoyed this one, but I think it would have been so much better if it had been two books instead of one. Too much story to fit into just one book. Really liked the concept. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 3.8/5

-- The Hatching (#1) by Ezekiel Boone -- This was a lot of fun! I'm really looking forward to reading the sequel. It promised me terrifying spiders, and it gave me TERRIFYING spiders. Also, the cover design is so good. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 4/5

-- Active Memory (Mirador #3) by Dan Wells -- I love this series!! This book answered some very important questions from the previous book and it was a lot of fun! I really, really, really hope that there are more books in this series. Dan Wells is one of my favorite authors. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 4.5/5

-- The Possessions by Sara Flannery Murphy -- This one was probably the most disappointing book I read this month, not because it was bad, but just because it was kind of dull. I read it during #Spookathon, which probably wasn't the best idea for a readathon book. It was a slow moving book. The main character was very bland and not that exciting to follow. The concept was pretty cool, but the actual story was just meh. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 3.2/5

-- Death Note, Volume 9: Contact by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata -- I have been so slow when it comes to finishing this series. This Volume was okay. I'm too stupid to understand most of what is really going on. I'm not an evil genius like Light. No Spoilers, but the series hasn't been the same since that crazy twist that happened a couple Volumes ago. I'm still not over it. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 3.8/5

-- Infinity (#1) by Jus Accardo -- This was fun and fast. I'm ready to continue on with the series. BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 4/5

FAVORITE BOOK OF OCTOBER:

No surprise here. I love this series. Please let there be more!!

And that is my October Wrap-Up! How did October treat you reading wise?

Reading Right Now! (182)

What I'm Reading Right Now! is...

This is Not A Test by Courtney Summers which I was trying to read last week, the same time I was reading Into the Bright Unknown (#3) by Rae Carson, but obviously I once again failed at reading two books at the same time. That's okay. I'm enjoying this one so far. It's a zombie book, but it's also mixed with some dark, contemporary issues. Sloane is not your average survivor, in fact, she doesn't really want to survive. I'm hoping that I can finish this before Saturday, because that's when it's due back at the library. Also, this cover reminds me a lot of The Bent Neck Lady from Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House. It's probably because I just binged that show. Does anybody else see it.

In other news, I'm sorry I've been so absent from my Blog this week. I guess I just needed a break. I'm gonna try to get back to it. Get my regular posts up and everything.

So that's what I'm Reading Right Now! What are you reading?

Fresh Releases: November 6, 2018

These Releases are Fresh Fresh!

 

I have this nagging feeling that I'm missing an important one, but I just can't remember what it is. And one of these might already be out. I'm not an informed book blogger, I'm sorry!

The Darkest Star (#1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the first book in her new Lux spin-off series. I haven't read the Lux Series yet, but I do own them all, so I will at some point. I've also got Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan on my list. This one looks pretty awesome! Hopefully I can pick up both of these books soon.

Those are my Fresh Fresh Releases for November 6th. What books are you looking forward to? Which super important release did I miss?  I'm also sorry for skipping Monday's post. This Fall Back time stuff really screwed with me. Why is it dark so early? I don't like it.

Reading Right Now! (181)

What I'm Reading Right Now! is...
I'm currently between books. I just finished one and there are two others that I'd like to start and maybe read at the same time, if I can do it and not fail.

So I finished Nightshades (#1) by Melissa F. Olson and I really enjoyed it. It was a novella, so it wasn't a very long book. It's about vampires, law enforcement, and Chicago. I liked it a lot. It ended on quite the cliffhanger though, so I'm gonna need to read the next book pronto.

And then I'd like to start Into the Bright Unknown (#3) by Rae Carson and This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers. They are coming up due at the library and I want to read them before they have to go back. I'm going to try to read them both at the same time. I've always failed at that before, but maybe this time I will succeed. OPTIMISM! 

 

And that's what I'm Reading Right Now! What are you reading?
