STONE COLD TOUCH Synopsis:

Every touch has its price

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.

But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

"Constantly entertaining...the narrative sizzles with as much tension as romance." Kirkus Reviews on White Hot Kiss

WHITE HOT KISS!


White Hot Kiss

ABOUT WHITE HOT KISS:

One kiss could be the last.

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever.

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul.

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.

Fairytale Survey

Hey guys! Yesterday I was lurking on some of my favorite blogs and I stumbled on this very fun survey. It was made by Mel at The Daily Prophecy and I thought it was really cool and I decided to do it as well. If you want, go check out her answers and maybe even fill out the surveys yourselves and leave your link in the comments :D


 PART 1. CLASSIC PRINCESSES.


Pinocchio – The boy whose nose grows when he lies.
Is there are book you lie about, because you feel ashamed for liking it?

I've never been ashamed about any of the books I read. I don't really understand why you'd be ashamed by something you enjoy reading, to be completely honest.

Beauty and the beast – The girl who fell in love with personality.
Which book do you love that has a hideous cover?

Ummm... I don't think I've ever encountered a truly hideous cover. By my standards at least. Oh wait, do school books count?


Snow white – Hunted down for her beauty.
Do you ever buy a book based on the cover alone and if so, what is the last one?

The last book I bought based solely on the cover was The Portrait Of A Killer by Patricia Cornwell. It's currently waiting patiently on my nightstand for some free time for me to read it. It's about Jack the Ripper.
Sleeping beauty – Cursed to sleep, awakened by true loves kiss.
What is your favorite book couple?

I don't have just one favorite couple. However, I'm going to say Lena/Ethan from Beautiful Creatures, because it's the book I'm reading right now.

Little Mermaid – Gave up on her old life for love.
Do you ever branch out to new genres or do you like to stick with the ones you know and love? If you try new things out, what is the latest book?

I love trying out new things, new genres. The latest one was an adult book. It's called Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylde and I absolutely enjoyed that book.

Cinderella – Who lost her shoe after midnight.
What is the last book that made you stay up all night?

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Rapunzel – locked up in a tower.
What is the worst books you’ve read last month?

None. Like I've said many many times, if I don't enjoy a book I just DNF it. *taps chin* Unless we're talking about school books, which I can't DNF because they're for exams. Okay, do those books count? Because in that case I have a huge list lol


PART 2. MIX-MATCH.

Aladdin – The poor boy who found a genie.
What is the latest book treasure/gem you found?

The one book that surprised the hell out of me was The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting.

Alice in Wonderland – The girl who fell through a rabbit’s hole.
Which book made you really feel like you landed in another world?

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Born of Night. I'm not used to reading SciFi, so it was a new thing for me. It was a pleasant surprise and I'm so happy there are more books to come in this series.

East of the sun and west of the moon – where a girl embarks on a journey to save her love.
Who is one of your favorite kick-ass heroines?

So, so many. The one that stands out at this very moment is Elena from Women Of The Otherworld.

The Frog Prince – where an enchanted prince becomes human again.
What is a book you thought you would hate, but end up loving?

Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton. I've been disappointed by a few books dealing with ancient mythology, so I really wasn't expecting to find a book as good as this one. 

Hansel and Gretel – left alone in the woods and captured by a witch.
Which duo (sister/sister, brother/sister) is your favorite and why?

Styxx and Acheron. After reading Styxx, I realized how much the two brothers were alike and I love both of them. I do believe they'll make an amazing team in the future stories.

Little Red Riding Hood – almost eaten by a wolf dressed as her grandmother.
What book disappointed you after falling in love with the cover and blurb?

This will bring me some hate mail, I'm sure. But I was really disappointed by Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I caught the Cinderella reference from the cover (I'm not that empty-headed) but there was something that let me down a bit about that book *sad face*

Rumpelstilskin – nobody knows his name.
Which book do you love that doesn’t get enough attention?

Ummm...I actually have no idea. Considering I usually read books AFTER the attention has been focused on something else, I can't say with certainty which book has been ignored or not.

Obsessed With Covers #13: They All Fall Down, The Edge of Falling & The Museum of Extraordinary Things

Y'all know how much I love a pretty cover. I think about...40% of the books that end up on my shelves (be they physical or digital) do so because of the covers. Call me shallow but you have to admit that a pretty, shiny cover will catch your eye faster than a dull, boring one. Two, simple rules that I'll follow:


  • 1, 2 or 3 (no more than 3, though) covers per week;
  • books should be new-ish; no more than 2 years old.
Oh, before I share the covers that made me drool or want to stare at them for hours and hours, I have to say something. This is a semi-original idea. Why semi? Because almost every book blogger has something similar. The only thing I came up with was the title. If by any chance there's another blogger with a similar feature with the same title, I assure you I'm not stealing your idea. I'm just THAT bad with titles. Believe me, I'd love to be smarter and have a witty name for this feature, but I don't. So, no copyright infringement/theft/steal or anything of the sort was desired. All I can say is sorry :P

Photobucket

First of all, who watched the Oscars last night? I didn't get to see the whole thing unfortunately, because it was very, very late in Italy (the whole thing started at 2 am in my neck of the woods and I fell asleep *pout*). I did get to see about half of it and can I just say that Jared Leto's speech and Pink's version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow where my favorite moments of the entire thing.

Anyway, here are some of the covers that I've seen recently that I believe are amazing:


This is an incredibly creepy cover. Between the dead/unconscious women with their faces shoved in red plates that look more like pools of blood and the creepy mummy that looks more like a living plant, this is one scary cover art. Oh, and the way the women hold hands, like they did some magic ritual before makes the thing even scarier.










They All Fall Down - Roxanne St. Claire



I'm deathly afraid of heights. The only thing that tops my fear of heights is my fear of falling from heights (therefore I will never do skydiving in my life) and of spiders. This cover has two of my fears in it and, while it takes me a few seconds to remind myself that it's a photograph and it's not real, I have to admit that it is gorgeous. And the red shoes. I love those shoes. They remind me of Dorothy's shoes for some reason. I have this book on my TBR list, mainly because I really want to know if the girl will fall or not, or if she's going home. Or maybe the falling part is just a metaphor? Anyway, great cover.






The Edge of Falling - Rebecca Serle



This isn't a creepy cover, I know, but it is stunning. There's just something about it that catches my eye every time I look at it. Maybe it's the lights or the stars... I really don't know, but I look at it and it seems like such a...peaceful scene. I haven't read the book, so I don't know if the story is peaceful or not, but the cover looks like that to me.










The Museum of Extraordinary Things - Alice Hoffman
