Sixteen year old Evie Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future - and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Check out uber hottie Jack's Top 10 ways to win the girl and see if you can resist his charms...



There’s the girl. I want her bad, me. I used to have it so easy with girls in the bayou, but Evie’s different.

She’s from a rich and classy family, so she ain’t sold on me yet. But now that the world’s gone to hell, I’ve been showing her why she needs to have me around - and it’s working.

So if you've got someone you’re looking to keep, one you want more than you want air, this is what I would do...

1. Put her needs before yours.

I need to sleep; she needs to be kept safe. Awake, I am. Period.

2. Compliment her.

One time I saw her in this wet, clingy T-shirt and choked out: “Mercy me.” She blushed, so job well done.

3. Kiss her till her toes curl.

When I took her lips for the first time, I did it slow—like I had all the time in the world. She got all heavy-lidded and crazy for more.

4. Provide.

If that girl needs food, I’m goan to die trying to get it for her. If she needs shelter and someone’s occupying the only house around, I’ll boot their asses out into the cold, and I’ll do it with a smile on my face.

5. Make nice with her mother.

A word from her mère goes a long way, especially if the mom thinks you’re “strong” and “rakish.”

6. Give her gifts.

I noticed Evie likes Sprite, so when I actually scored a bottle out in the wastelands, it was like finding gold in the street.

7. Show off your talents.

When I saved her from some zombies, she got to see the thing I’m best at: fighting. She was all wide-eyed and breathless, looking at me like I was some kind of hero of old. I doan think heroes have the thoughts I did at that moment.

8. Make her jealous.

Seeing me flirt with another girl sure clarified Evie’s feelings. Ma belle’s eyes went green with jalousie.

9. Go above and beyond.

My world before the apocalypse was ruthless, made me a survivor above all things. But now, when the choice comes down to possibly dying or living without Evie . . . there’s really no choice. Any chance I see to protect her--I take it.

10. Accept everything about her, good and bad.

Read our story and you’ll know why this is the most important tip of all. I couldn’t handle Evie’s new powers, and now she’s farther away from me than she’s ever been... Ooh and ERR. So what do you think of Jack's tips? And will you be reading Poison Princess by Kresley Cole? Find out more here.

Review: Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) By Susan Ee

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1)

By Susan Ee

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fav Quote:

“Are you really an archangel?”
“Impressed?”
“No. But I have some complaints I’d like to file about your personnel.”
“Talk to middle management.”

It's been six weeks after the catastrophic attack on earth. The world as we know it has come to an end, torn apart by a war between angels and humans. Trapped between a battle that has been thrust upon her, Penryn will do anything in order to keep her sister and mother alive. Even help the enemy, an angel...

When Penryn witnesses an angel being beaten and brutally stripped of his wings, her instinct tells her to help. But in her effort to help the angel she loses what she loves the most, her wheelchair-bound little sister. As Penryn watches her little sister being taken away, she's determined to get her back and they only way to achieve that is to join forces with the angel, after she helps him heal...

“Oh, please. Your giant head is getting too big for this forest. Pretty soon, you're going to get stuck trying to walk between two tress. And then, I'll have to rescue you. Again.”

This book kept me on the edge of my seat with its mind-blowing plot, action and emotion.

Penryn is the type of heroine that you love and connect with instantly. She's smart, funny but at the same time very realistc, she's strong and very loyal, she never gives up (even when she knows she'll lose) and above all she's compassionate. What intrigued me the most about her, was her relationship with her mother (who btw is really crazy, like there's no one crazier than her, like lock-me-in-an-asylum crazy). Despite her mother's craziness, though, she's still very concerned about her..

As for Raffe (yeah..Raffe's the angle) he was brilliant. An agnostic angel!Really??? That totally blew me away. Raffe is the kind of man (or angel) who you don't want to mess with. He has so many secrets and is so arrogant!!!

“In the long second before everyone absorbs what just happened, I see the angel rolling his eyes heavenward, like a teenager in the presence of overwhelming lameness. Some people just have no sense of gratitude.”

Penryn and Raffe's relationship unfolds very naturally, as they both strive to survive under adverse conditions.

“So long as you don't bleed in the shape of wing joints, you should pass for human. Oh, and don't let anyone pick you up. They'll know you're not right as soon as they feel how light you are."
"I'll be sure not to let anyone but you carry me in her arms.”

Angelfall has it all. A post-apocalyptic theme, to-die-for badass angels, a kickass heroine, cannibals and other disgusting creatures and last but not least it has a bazillion twist and turns. Yep, just when you thnk that you know what will happen everything changes. I'm telling you "you won't see the end coming"...

One negative thing this book has, it's that it's a cliffhanger. Not a big one, but a cliffhanger it is. I'm just happy that the sequel will be out in three or four months. I can't wait!!!

Highly recommended!!!

Synopsis:

It's been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.

Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.

Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.

Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels' stronghold in San Francisco where she'll risk everything to rescue her sister and he'll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.
