Review : Clarity

Clarity

by Kim Harrington

242 Pages

YA Novel

Published : March 1

Goodreads synopsis : 

When you can see things others can't, where do you look for the truth?
This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats.
Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift.
And a curse.
When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case - but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother - who has supernatural gifts of his own - becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?

Thoughts :

Oh my goodness! I loved, loved, loved this book! I don't know why but I love books about psychic powers.  Its fascinating to me and I would absolutely love to have psychic powers.  Well, I think everyone would love to have psychic powers they just don't know it.

I also love mystery books so I loved this for that reason too.  I read this book in a day and I was just like wow.  I really need to read the other book because I just absolutely love Kim's writing.  She made me want to keep reading it to figure out who the killer was.

It was a real page turner and that's what I loved most about it.  I just know that Perception will be even better than Clarity.

Review : A Touch Mortal

A Touch Mortal

by Leah Clifford

432 Pages

YA Novel

Published : February 22

Goodreads synopsis : 

Eden didn't expect Az.

Not his saunter down the beach toward her. Not his unbelievable pick-up line. Not the instant, undeniable connection. And not his wings.

Yeah.

So long, happily-ever-after.

Now trapped between life and death, cursed to spread chaos with her every touch, Eden could be the key in the eternal struggle between heaven and hell. All because she gave her heart to one of the Fallen, an angel cast out of heaven.

She may lose everything she ever had. She may be betrayed by those she loves most. But Eden will not be a pawn in anyone else's game. Her heart is her own.

And that's only the beginning of the end.

Thoughts : 

When I started reading this book I thought it was going to end up like the Fallen series.  But it wasn't, Clifford made me see a whole new concept of angels, heaven, and the world.  It wasn't at all like the Fallen series and I appreciate that.

I loved how it kept me on my toes and made me want to read more about it.  The chemistry between Az and Eden are what some of us dream of without all the complications they have in the book.

The first chapter was a little bit confusing for me because she's just sitting there and it makes me feel like I have no clue what's happening.  Then throughout the book it explains what was happening in that first chapter.  The end leaves you with so many questions that you will want to read the next book.

Review : What Happened to Goodbye

What Happened to Goodbye

by Sarah Dessen

402 Pages

YA Novel

Published : May 10

Goodreads synopsis :

Since her parents' bitter divorce, McLean and her dad, a restaurant consultant, have been on the move-four towns in two years. Estranged from her mother and her mother's new family, McLean has followed her dad in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But now, for the first time, McLean discovers a desire to stay in one place and just be herself, whoever that is. Perhaps Dave, the guy next door, can help her find out. 

Thoughts : 

As always, Sarah Dessen has wrote another fabulous book.  I have been anticipating this book ever since I read her previous novel, Along for the Ride.  Ever since then I have been captivated by her words and stories.  Every single one of her books have had amazing covers but, I do have to say that this one is my favorite.

McLean and Dave's relationship was what I liked best about this book.  At first McLean says that she doesn't want a relationship with him, but the she quickly falls in love with the smart and sweet guy that he is.  I also liked the relationship she has with her friends in the end.

Sarah Dessen has once again surprised me with her new book.  There is no other author I love more than her.  If you loved her previous novels, you will love this one.  Trust me.

Wither

YA Novel

Published : March 22

Goodreads synopsis : 

What if you knew exactly when you would die?
Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb — males only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out.
When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape — to find her twin brother and go home.
But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limited time she has left.

Review : Forgotten

Forgotten

by Cat Patrick

288 Pages

YA Novel

Published : June 7

Goodreads synopsis :

Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.

Part psychological drama, part romance, and part mystery, this thought-provoking novel will inspire readers to consider the what-if's in their own lives and recognize the power they have to control their destinies.

Thoughts :

Before I say anything, I just have to say that I love this cover.  Its different, yet beautiful.  The part I most love about it is, the title.  I love how it takes up the whole cover but you can still see the image underneath.  That was the first thing that got me to check it out of the library.

I thoroughly liked this novel, but it was a bit slow in the beginning.  As I kept reading though I grew liking the book more.  I liked London's view of her world, it was different and unique.  London and Luke's relationship was different, it's more relate able to than any other book.  It is easy to understand and they have the same problems that other relationships in real life tend to have.

I recommend this book.
