Pretty Girl 13 By: Liz Coley
Goodreads Summary:

Reminiscent of the Elizabeth Smart case, Pretty Girl-13 is a disturbing and powerful psychological mystery about a girl who must piece together the story of her kidnapping and captivity.

Angie Chapman was thirteen years old when she ventured into the woods alone on a Girl Scouts camping trip. Now she's returned home…only to find that it's three years later and she's sixteen-or at least that's what everyone tells her.

What happened to the past three years of her life?

Angie doesn't know.

But there are people who do—people who could tell Angie every detail of her forgotten time, if only they weren't locked inside her mind. With a tremendous amount of courage, Angie embarks on a journey to discover the fragments of her personality, otherwise known as her "alters." As she unearths more and more about her past, she discovers a terrifying secret and must decide: When you remember things you wish you could forget, do you destroy the parts of yourself that are responsible?

Liz Coley's alarming and fascinating psychological mystery is a disturbing-and ultimately empowering-page-turner about accepting our whole selves, and the healing power of courage, hope, and love.



Mila 2,0 (Mila 2.0 #1) By: Debra Driza 
Goodreads Summary:

 Mila 2.0 is the first book in an electrifying sci-fi thriller series about a teenage girl who discovers that she is an experiment in artificial intelligence.

Mila was never meant to learn the truth about her identity. She was a girl living with her mother in a small Minnesota town. She was supposed to forget her past —that she was built in a secret computer science lab and programmed to do things real people would never do.

Now she has no choice but to run—from the dangerous operatives who want her terminated because she knows too much and from a mysterious group that wants to capture her alive and unlock her advanced technology. However, what Mila’s becoming is beyond anyone’s imagination, including her own, and it just might save her life.

Mila 2.0 is Debra Driza’s bold debut and the first book in a Bourne Identity–style trilogy that combines heart-pounding action with a riveting exploration of what it really means to be human. Fans of I Am Number Four will love Mila for who she is and what she longs to be—and a cliffhanger ending will leave them breathlessly awaiting the sequel.


Poison By: Bridget Zinn
Goodreads Summary:

  Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.

But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart . . . misses.

Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?

Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she’s certainly no damsel-in-distress—she’s the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

Waiting On Wednesday!



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, that highlights upcoming book releases that everyone is waiting on.

This weeks selection is:



Title: The Fifth Wave
Author: Rick Yancey 
Published: May 5th, 2013
Goodreads Summary:

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it’s the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie’s only hope for rescuing her brother–or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.


My Thoughts:

I really love this cover, I am really curious about what the waves mean. What are you waiting on this week?

Top Ten Tuesday!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This week's topic is the top ten most frustrating characters! this one should be super fun!


1. Daemon, from the JLA's Lux series. Ok, I don't mean this in a bad way, but whenever I read about him I can only imagine how frustrating he can be sometimes for Katy, I am of course in love with him but, I remember while reading Obsidian sometimes I became so frustrated with him!

2. Luce from Lauren Kate's Fallen series. When I first began this series I really enjoyed the books but, as they started to go I  began to get frustrated with Luce because she became kind of whiny about her relationship with Daniel, it made me begin to like her less as a character and definitely frustrated with her.

3. Cole from Brodi Ashton's Everneath series. I haven't read Everbound yet but, hopefully soon I will be  but, Cole was so frustrating for me, he obviously has feelings for Nikki and he won't admit it although he obviously the villain of the story he frustrated me so much when I read Everneath and Neverfall.

4. Warner from Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series. This might be cheating because I am reading this one right now and so far he is definitely frustrating me but who knows what could happen....


Ok, so this list is not as easy as I thought, anybody have any characters that frustrated them?
