What is on my Kindle/Nook

So I am going to start something new and show all you fabulous readers what I currently have on my to read list. On goodreads I have like a million books to read but this list is what books I have purchased recently and plan to read! I am a very big YA lover so most of the books I choose are going to be in that category and they are also Kindle books so they tend to be 4.99 or less which is great for me since I am a broke college student. I posted links to their Goodreads websites so you can check out the plots for each and see what you think! I'll post reviews of these books as I finish them up!

Vacation!

So this past week I got to travel to another state! Colorado! I don't know if I said this before but I have never been out of the state of Texas and this summer I have been to 4 states! This is super exciting for me! I have been staying with my sister, brother in law, and my new niece in Nebraska. Most of the time I'm just chilling in the house with my sister and niece while my brother in law works. I help watch her while my sister naps or does stuff around the house, I guess you can call me the nanny! While in Colorado I got to see the mountains for the first time and we even drove up them to Estes Park! It was so beautiful but so annoying on my ears. I'm very sensitive about them so having them pop wasn't fun for me! I got over it and Estes was so awesome I love it! I can't wait to go back in August! Oh another great part was seeing the Stanley Hotel aka the shining hotel! I can't wait to take a tour of it! Well I have been reading the lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout and will be putting up a review of the first two books up soon! 

Feudlings by Wendy Knight

Plot:

Nothing makes a new school suck worse than discovering the guy you’re in love with is your prophesied nemesis.

Ari is the most powerful flame-throwing sorceress ever, and her people’s last hope in an ancient war. But she’s also a seventeen-year-old girl, and in her free, not-hunting-nemesis times, she jumps from school to school, trying to figure out regular people her own age and pretending she’ll get the chance to graduate.

Shane lives a double life. He goes to school and masters the art of popularity, hiding the fact that he has a fate with a slim chance of his survival. He’s destined to end a 300 year-old war by killing or being killed. He knows he’s hunted by a powerful enemy who’s not afraid to die. Only problem? He has no idea who that enemy is. 

When Ari shows up at Shane’s school, angry and sullen and determined to keep him at arm’s reach, neither of them realize they are supposed to be killing each other, not fall-ing in love. Until Ari does realize it, and she almost dies – by Shane’s hand.

Review:

At first I was a little skeptical about this story. I ended up loving this story! The characters were very great and added so much to the story. Ari is hardcore in my opinion, yet she has troubles with what she is doing. She doesn't like the killing but her grandpa is so horrible that she does it. She does try to avoid killing the enemies by trying to scare them but they are relentless. She wants to escape her grandpa so she goes to boarding schools pretty much once a year. She is used to keeping to herself but then she gets roped in on helping decorate the gym for a school dance. She ends up falling and gorgeous Shane ends up saving her and from then on they are hooked. She makes friends and starts opening up to them until she finds out just exactly who they really are. 

There is quite a bit of action and I loved it. I also loved that we got to see a little into what Ari's relationship is with her grandpa and then her brother. One thing I know some people have trouble with is how Ari and Shane can't tell who the other is especially since they can see magic traces. Neither of them really uses magic around the other so they cant tell that the other person is the enemy. When they do finally realize it things get a little crazy. I'm not going to spoil exactly how because it's pretty important to the story so you will just have to read it. I loved this book and absolutely can't wait until the next one!

Runes by Ednah Walters

 

One thing I love about Amazon is the fact that you can find really awesome books for cheap! This book was one of them! The story was so captivating I couldn't stop reading once I started! 

Plot:

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.

Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.

Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about Torin. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only are she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life

Review:

What book about mythology doesn't make you want to read it? I loved the concept of this story. I wont tell you what she finds out about Torin because that would spoil the fun of this book but it is awesome! I never thought about these things as being in a story so I got to learn some new information. The characters were absolutely amazing. Raine is very strong and wont stop until she finds out what is going on. She questions Torin from the beginning and soon ends up finding out everything. In this story she has two best friends Eirik and Cora. They are great additions to this story and they are very caring for Raine no matter what. Raine is dealing with her dad disappearing and trying to get Eirik to see her as more than just his friend, then Torin comes along and everything changes. Torin is very mysterious and intriguing especially to Raine. Soon Raine has battling feelings for Eirik and Torin and she just can't decide especially when Torin says all the right things to her. The mystery of the story was just amazing. I couldn't figure out what they were until they finally revealed it. It took on a new look at mythology for me. There wasn't a part of this book that I had a moment where I knew where everything was going, that is rare for me especially since I read a lot of books. I loved this story and can't wait until the next one!

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

I just finished this book and let me tell you it was amazing! It was entertaining right from the beginning! I couldn't put it down at all. So pretty much the story is about a 16 year old girl named Cassie who is currently on her own. She had parents and a little brother, a high school crush and cell phone, then one day the aliens came (well technically their mother ship was the only thing the humans got to see) and they ruined everything. These catastrophes that devastate the human population happen in waves and in the story we are finding out about the 5th wave. There aren't any signs for the humans and they don't really know what these aliens actually look like. By the time the story takes place Cassie is trying to keep her promise to her baby brother, Sammy, to come find him. He is taken away by soldiers with a bunch of other kids to head to a refugee camp. Well when the buses with the kids leave everything goes crazy and it leaves Cassie on her own. She is left with two guns and her brother's teddy bear. She heads off towards the camp where they were headed when she meets Evan Walker who wants to help her. While we get this story of Cassie we also get to see the POV of a boy at this refugee camp.
I just have to say that The plot was amazing and gripping. I kept wanting to read more and see what would happen next! I loved that you don't get this flat out hint about what is actually going on! There was a great amount of action and romance, more action than romance but not too bad. The characters were very believable especially with the circumstances that they are in. Cassie is such a strong girl and I kind of wish I was more like her. She is very driven and wants to keep her promise to her little brother. She isn't very trusting of anyone and I can't blame her, you don't exactly know how to distinguish the humans from the aliens and then even some of the humans have gone wacko. When she meets Evan no matter what she isn't very trusting with him and she even flat out tells him that. The other characters you meet in this story are also very strong and tough for what they are going through. They are very human about what is going on with them and what else can you expect. Some will be too trusting of others and some wont trust anyone.
The writing was great and very easy to follow. Like I said I was entertained from the beginning, it's a very gripping story and I cant wait to see what happens next! If you like post-apocalyptic novels then you need to read this one!
