For seventeen years Jed Franklin’s life was normal. Then his father was charged with the abuse and murder of four young boys and normal became a nightmare.

His mom’s practically a walking zombie, he’s lost most of his friends, and the press camps out on his lawn. The only things that keep him sane are his little sis; his best friend and dream girl, Summer; and the alcohol he stashes in his room. But after Jed wakes up from a total blackout to discover a local kid has gone missing—a kid he was last seen talking to—he’s forced to face his greatest fear: that he could somehow be responsible.

In a life that’s spiraled out of control, Jed must decide if he chooses his own destiny with Summer by his side or if the violent urges that plagued his father are truly in the blood…

Olivia
He tilts my chin up so my eyes meet his, his thumb brushing lightly across my lips. I close my eyes. I know Z is trouble. I know that being with him is going to get me into trouble. I don’t care.
At least at this moment, I don’t care.

Tossed from foster home to foster home, Olivia’s seen a lot in her sixteen years. She’s hardened, sure, though mostly just wants to fly under the radar until graduation. But her natural ability with computers catches the eye of Z, a mysterious guy at her new school. Soon, Z has brought Liv into his team of hacker elite—break into a few bank accounts, and voila, he drives a motorcycle. Follow his lead, and Olivia might even be able to escape from her oppressive foster parents. As Olivia and Z grow closer, though, so does the watchful eye of Bill Sykes, Z’s boss. And he’s got bigger plans for Liv…

Z
I can picture Liv’s face: wide-eyed, trusting. Her smooth lips that taste like strawberry Fanta.
It was just a kiss. That’s all. She’s just like any other girl.
Except that she’s not.
Thanks to Z, Olivia’s about to get twisted.

Blog Tour: Infinity by Andria Buchanan


Today, I am happy to be taking part in the blog tour for Infinity by Andrea Buchanan! My post is a review of the first two books (due to the amount of tours I'm in this week-one every day) I could only get the first two read, but the review of book three will be added as soon as humanly possible! And make sure to check out the bottom with an awesome giveaway and links to the rest of the tour!

Titles: Everlast, Evanescent
Author: Andria Buchanan
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Series: The Chronicles of Nerisette
Review: Four Stars

These books were really good! Due to reading them so last minute, some skimming was done, but I can't wait to go back and reread them in depth! The idea behind the story is definitely original. Generally the characters start in a fantasy world or the real world and don't leave, but these characters start in the real world and get sucked into a fantasy world THROUGH A BOOK! Yes, I said book.

The main character is Allie Monroe. Like the Abnegation say in Divergent, the leader should be someone who does not want to lead. Allie is an unpopular, quiet, high school girl. She doesn't want power and she sure as heck doesn't want to lead a country. Yet when she arrives in the fantasy land, she's immediately give power. My biggest problem with Allie is her self-confidence. It's next-to-none. And while it's realistic to have times when you're down, Allie constantly doubts herself and lets others get in her head. Besides that, I really like her. Allie leads her country with a firm hand and promises the way to a better future. Her romance with Winston was interesting. It's made known from page one that she's had a crush on him for as long as they've been friends, but that he hasn't returned her feelings. The romance comes on very suddenly, and while I like it, it could have felt more
natural.

The plot of the books was interesting and different. It didn't twist and turn as much as some others, but it still left me wanting more. Let's just say, book three won't be waiting very long to be read. I feel like the characters besides the Allie are fairly weak. The author manages to make me feel attached to them, I would cry if her best friend Mercedes or Winston were to die, but the reader simply doesn't know enough about their backstory. The characters are slowly built upon, but it could be more so. The writing is also well done. Nothing is explained too much nor too little. I always understood what was going on, even when coming back from a long period of not reading. The books were fun and interesting, but with a couple faults. I give them a solid four star review!
