Pushing the Limits

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




"I heard a rumor."
"What's that?"
"It's your birthday.Happy birthday."

Pushing the Limits was such a great book.For months now,I have been reading numerous reviews about this book.Actually,many people have recommended it to me and after seeing for myself its success I couldn't but read it.

I loooooved this book.

Although I have read many books of the same genre,I believe that this book should have its own genre.I really liked the plot and the flow of Pushing the Limits.It was such an emotional book.It's so rare to meet characters like Noah and Echo.Noah was so mature for his age and despite the difficulties of his life he tried to deal with his problems even if the decisions making them were hard.I got very emotional when I finally read what really happend with his brothers and though it was the right decision to make it still hurt.As for Echo,I can't imagine something like that ever happening to me.

I don't have much to say other than that you should definitely read this book.It's an incredible book which describes the lives of two mature adolescents with a tragic past but with a bright future.Nevertheless I can't wait to read Beth's story in Dare You To.

Blurb:

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.

Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

Stygian's Honor By Lora Leigh

Stygian's Honor (Breeds #27)

By Lora Leigh

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



“Sometimes, I feel as though I’ve never been real,”

I've been waiting so long to read this book and I'm so disappointed.I don't know even know where to start from.Stygian's Honor was such a confusing book.I got lost so many times...There was so much drama in this book that I haven't ever seen in any other book.

Let's begin with the two main characters.I envy Stygian so much...I don't know where he got his patience from but I would like some for myself.I really hated Liza or should I say Honor?Well I'll use the name Honor because I like it better.I understand the fact that she had a horrible childhood but Stygian's was by far worse than hers.Did you see him having breakdowns or complaining?No.I just couldn't keep reading her about her constant whining and her attitude.I got so frustrated.Moreover,it was so tiring trying to keep up with the plot and Honor's exaggeration and drama.In my opinion,Stygian deserved better than her.

Considering his past,I have to say that he became a very strong man that no matter the circumstances protected and cherished those he loved.The thing is,that I could definitely feel his love towards Honor whereas felt nothing of her.

I was expecting so much from this book.For one thing,I wanted to see Amber healed.She's just so little and I love her and her parents.I especially loved a scene where Amber snitched on Jonas.Here's a taste

“Don’ call me ’itch, Da.”

“Then don’t snitch on Da,”....So cute.

Nevertheless,this is my opinion.I'm not discouraging anyone fom reading Stygian's Honor,especially if one has already read all the previous books of the series.The only thing that I'm hoping is that the next book be much better than this one was.

I'm also looking forward to reading Claire aka Fawn and Gideon's story.

Blurb:

Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just thirteen. It was her only sanctuary from the Breed research that would surely have ended in her death—one such insidious experiment should, indeed, have killed her. That she lived is both a miracle—and a great mystery.

Stygian’s mission is to find Honor Roberts, no matter the cost. Now, with the help of Liza Johnson, assistant to the chief of the Navajo Nation, he is closer than ever to his goal. But will the discovery of Honor Roberts mean the destruction of the mating heat that has developed between Stygian and Liza?

Insanity By Lauren Hammond

Insanity  (Asylum #1)

By Lauren Hammond

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"No...

I don't care what the staff tells me.

I. Am. Not. Crazy." -Addy

I Think that words aren't enough to describe what what I really feel for this book.

Insanity is a stupendous novel and a real challenge to readers.There were times that it was so difficult to tell the difference between what's real and what's not.Especially the final chapters were so vague and hazy.

Addy had the perfect life.That is until her mother "left" when Addy was 10 years old.Her father became an alcoholic and began abusing her both physically and emotionally.I'm utterly disgusted by him.He would beat her down and call her names and all because she looked like her mother.The thruth is that when I finally read what had really happened,the only thing that came to my mind was what a pathetic excuse of a man he was,a lowlife.

The story had many twists or so I thought because the main character,Addy,was the narrator and anything that happened before and during her life in the asylum was described by her.Although we don't get to see why she got to the asylum,we see some pieces of her past with Damien,who I can't say loved but surely liked.He is so romantic.Here's a taste of him "Addy, living one day without you would never be for the best. I want you every minute of every day. Forever. I love you.”

She is so obsessed with him that even in the asylum all about she thnks is him.I think that what she saw when she was just 17 has stuck with her even though she has forgotten everything else.

She seems to believe that her life hasn't progressed since Damien's horrible death but it did.She's so lost,I don't know why as the book doesn't elaborate what she did in order to end up in the asylum,which is so messed up.The only thing that I liked of it was Dr. Watson who later reveals his true identity.His so patient and caring.I bet no man in the world would do what he did for Addy.He's awesome!!!

I loved this book.It's just insanely awesome!I definitely recommend it to anyone and I can't wait to read the folllowing book,White Walls.

Blurb:

Spirit Bound By Christine Freehan

Spirit Bound  (Sisters of the Heart, #2)

By Christine Feehan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Spirit Bound is an amazing addition to the Sea Haven. series.This book tells the story of Judith and Lev's older brother Stefan.Both Judith and Stefan are tortured souls with a tormented past.They come together at the most sensitive time.Well,not exactly but something like that.

Stefan is in a new mission,one that includes tricking Judith into believing that he is someone else,someone he would like to be,someone who could freely love and live but the truth is that non of this is true.Not for Stefan.Dtefan believes that he's uncrupulous,a man without emotions and loyalty but when he's with Judith everything is different.He feels.Everything.

On the other hand,Judith is amiable,gentle,polite,kind and full of life.Despite her hunted past she survives and leads a happy but yet lacking life.Being with Thomas,aka Stefan,fulfills her.They desire the same things,want and need the same things.

In this book we also get to see the bond between the sisters and how well they communicate with each other.We also see how Lev and Rikki's realationship has progressed and how protective they are with each other.

It's a stupendous book that explores the many angles of love and pain and the tiny line that seperates them.In order to read it you should previously read Water Bound so that you understand what's going on.I absolutely recommend this book and I can't wait to read the following book in the series

Blurb:

Lethal undercover agent Stefan Prakenskii knew a thousand ways to kills a man—and twice as many ways to pleasure a woman. That’s what made him look forward to his new mission: arrive in the coastal town of Sea Haven and insinuate himself in the life of an elusive beauty who had mysterious ties to his past, and a link to a dangerously seductive, and equally elusive master criminal who wanted only one thing: to possess her.

Judith Henderson was an artist on the rise—an ethereal, and haunted woman whose own picture-perfect beauty stirred the souls of two men who have made her their obsession. For years she has been waiting for someone to come and unlock the passion and fire within her—waiting for the right man to surrender it to. But only one man can survive her secrets, and the shadow she has cast over both their lives.
