Blog Tour Post!! Dream Of Me Excerpt

“Tell me more about this dream,” Glory said as she sat across from Serenity in one of the booths at the fire pit. She had called early that morning, demanding to have breakfast because she wanted to know more about the whole Sandman thing. Serenity hadn’t meant to spill the beans, but her mind had been dwelling on it so much that it had just come pouring out of her. And she probably needed to talk with someone about it other than an eight-year-old girl who was actually in the dream. So she had forced herself from the warmth of her bed and met Glory before time for school. The only bonus was that she got an awesome breakfast out of the deal.

“I already told you the entire thing the other night,” Serenity said. “I think I dreamed it because even though I want to leave this little town, I’m also scared to venture out into the wide world, and I must subconsciously be trying to find an excuse to stay.”

“What about this Dair character? What’s he all about?” Glory asked, ignoring what she had just said.

Serenity rolled her eyes and set her fork down on her plate. It was obvious that Glory wasn’t going to give up. “The girl, Emma, said he is the basis of the myth about the Sandman,” Serenity explained again to Glory everything the girl had said about Dair.

“He sounds mysterious,” her best friend crooned.

“Give me a break, Glory. For all we know he’s a short, fat, bald man like in the movie The Rise of the Guardians.”

Glory shook her head. “No, I’m not getting that vibe from your story. This guy sounds powerful in an I’m so hot I scorch the ground when I walk sort-of way.”

Serenity choked on the drink of orange juice she had been taking. “Sometimes, you really worry me, Glory Day.”

“You’re the one having dreams supposedly sent by a mythical being that have to be explained to you by an eight year old genius.”

“Good point,” Serenity conceded

    ***WARNING*** 

     Major plot twist that will break your heart!!

    This book was actually a good sequel. Which is rare in the world of literature. This book frustrated me a bit at how stupid the main character could be. But it also made me sob in the middle of English class. (I actually had to leave the room) 

    There is more character development in this book and you almost feel bad for Aphrodite. Almost! This book is just as good as the first and kept me reading all the time. A great continuation to a creative world!

Marked By: P. C. Cast and Kristen Cast

    First off, I will admit that I've been putting off reading this series. It sounded like just another cheesy vampire book.

    Boy was I wrong.

    This book took me in at the very first sentence. From there I fell into the book. And there was no going back. This book has a unique heroine and a new take on the modern vampire. 

    Now I will warn you, this book isn't for the action lover. This book is more relatable rather than action packed. The first book is mostly about adjusting to a new society and life. And kicking bully butt!!

    I recommend this book for people who love a good mystery (sort of) or the romantic.

Say What You Will

    Long time no blog! School has been crazy but this little gem was something I had to tell you about!!

   Say what you will is the first romance I've read involving people with disabilities. The main character has CP and decided to make some friends her senior year of high school.

This is very slow from the beginning, I will admit that it took me about 80 pages before I got really into it. But after that it was like a car on the freeway who's brakes just gave out; fast paced and equally exciting and terrifying. The main characters were very well developed and were realistically quirky.

Although this book did disappoint me a bit. I found that sanjay's character wasn't developed enough for the situation he was put in. I also found that Amy made selfish and out of character decisions. They just didn't make sense to me. 

This book was quite gripping at some points but it was also disappointing. But I reccomend it all the same!

Stealing Phoenix By: Joss Stirling

    This is the first time in my reviewing career that I'm going to tell you that the sequel is better than the original. This book is one of the most well developed books I've ever read. The characters acted as people do in real life; turning to their instincts and up bringing when confused. This book was just up and down and kept me interested the entire time!

Although I would have preferred to have more detail in the wedding scene the ending was sweet and unexpected. An amazing book!

Finding Sky By: Joss Stirling

    As soon as I finished Misty Falls I wanted to read the Benedict Boys series. It was a good choice. This book was everything I had hoped for! It was full of mystery, danger, and the complications of a troubled past. 

The plot line is phenomenal!! It starts slow then seems to throw you into the water saying "swim my fish! Swim in this world I've created!" Joss Stirling has captured my love of danger and romance perfectly. A highly recommended read!

Defiance By: C .J. Redwine

    This book is fantastic!! This book is one of the most thrilling books I've ever read!! This is a dystopian novel, but the main heroine isn't one of the cliche characters you find in dystopian novels! Rachel starts strong but gets broken down and has to regain her strength rather than staying strong. She is a relatable character with a strong personality and does things that you would do if put in that situation. A fantastic book that I would recommend for anyone who likes dystopian, romance or fantasy.
