Review: Sweet Peril (The Sweet Trilogy, #2) by Wendy Higgins

Yesterday I reviewed Sweet Evil, the first book in The Sweet Trilogy, and today I'm going to dive into Sweet Peril. I may or may not have read all 3 books in the span of a few days, but you can hardly blame me when these books are addicting and so so sweet.

Review: Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1) by Wendy Higgins

As I said in my update yesterday, I've really gotten away from reading YA books as of late. For some reason, only romance novels have been holding my interest and even though I have shelves and shelves of YA books that have yet to be read, I couldn't get myself to read them.

I have been lending YA books to a friend (and fellow blogger) at work and I gave her Sweet Evil last week. She immediately fell in love and told me that I absolutely had to start reading. She also told me that I was stupid for having this one collect dust on my shelf for a year.

It's her birthday this week and she found Wendy Higgins's release party event for Sweet Surrender will be in D.C. and we plan on attending so I knew I had to get reading.

Waiting on Wednesday (21): Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth

It's Wednesday again! Today, we're featuring a book that majority of the blogosphere is clamoring to get their hands on this October and I know Jess and I are right along with them...

Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1) by Josephine Angelini - Review

I am a huge fan of Greek Mythology retellings in the YA genre. I'll read almost anything from Percy Jackson to the Goddess Test and I've had Starcrossed for a while now. For some reason, I had read some really bad reviews for this book so I wanted to make sure I was in the right mood to read it. And I was! I waited until I was unbelievably sick, home from work and it was raining. For me, that is the perfect combination for reading and I devoured this book... in one day.

Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1) by Kiersten White - Review

I want to start this review off to explain a little bit more about where I got this book. If you're a blogger (and even if you're not) and you haven’t heard about the YA Book Exchange yet, you're sorely missing out. This new site is a trading post for YA books. Essentially, you add books to the site and communicate with other traders to trade for books you want! I traded Wake by Amanda Hocking for this little gem and I've done a lot of other trades on the site as well. It's a great place to get to know others in the blogging community and trade your books for ones you've been dying to get your hands on! 

Firelight (Firelight, #1) by Sophie Jordan - Review

Now, I'm not sure where to start with this review. I don't think I can say enough about how much I truly enjoyed reading this book. Firelight restored my recently fading faith in YA books and I couldn't get enough of Jordan's characters and the unique world she build around them.

Everneath (Everneath, #1) by Brodi Ashton - Review

Lately, I 've been in a sort of reading slump. Everything I pick up turns out to be exactly what I'm not looking for at that moment. I decided to give Everneath a try because I was definitely in the mood for a tragic love story and that's exactly what I got.

The Selection by Kiera Cass - Review

I picked this book up after my roommate stole it from my shelves and read it herself. She couldn't stop talking about the book and so I caved and dove in! After starting, I finished in two days and was cursing Kiera Cass for not writing book two fast enough!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth - Review

What can I really say about reading Insurgent? Well before you dive further into my review, let me say that I will not be spoiling one single detail for those who haven't devoured Insurgent yet!

Quite honestly, I'm not even going to put up a synopsis for you. All you need to know is that this book takes up a little after Divergent has ended. I'm just going to explain a little bit about how I felt while reading this book rather than review it in my typical fashion. Here goes!

Shadow of the Mark by Leigh Fallon Reveal!

Leigh Fallon, the author ofCarrier of the Mark,has announced the title of her second book to the series: Shadow of the Mark! She also said that while there is no official release date yet, it will be sometime in early 2013. Check out her article on her blog!

If you haven't readCarrier of the Mark (the first installment of this brilliant trilogy) then you are definitely missing out. It's got Irish accents, hunky guys and ancient magic! If the first book is any indication of what Shadow of the Mark will bring, then we should be super duper excited!

Ink Exchange (Wicked Lovely #2) by Melissa Marr - Review

As I just did a review for the first book, Wicked Lovely, I thought that I would write one for Ink Exchange, which is the second book in the collection and consequently my favorite!

Ink Exchange picks up a few weeks after Wicked Lovely has ended. With Aislinn’s involvement in the fey court becoming more and more involved, she has to try harder to keep her friends from becoming involved in her new faerie world. As if she and Keenan (and Seth) don’t have enough to deal with, there is a power struggle brewing within the Dark Court...
