TILL DEATH


By : Jennifer L Armentrout
release date: 2/28/17

DESCRIPTION:


In New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s gripping new novel, a young woman comes home to reclaim her life—even as a murderer plots to end it. . 


It’s been ten years since Sasha Keaton left her West Virginia hometown . . . since she escaped the twisted serial killer known as the Groom. Returning to help run her family inn means being whole again, except for one missing piece. The piece that falls into place when Sasha’s threatened—and FBI agent Cole Landis vows to protect her the way he couldn’t a decade ago.

First one woman disappears; then another, and all the while, disturbing calling cards are left for the sole survivor of the Groom’s reign of terror. Cole’s never forgiven himself for not being there when Sasha was taken, but he intends to make up for it now . . . because under the quirky sexiness Cole first fell for is a steely strength that only makes him love Sasha more.

But someone is watching. Waiting. And Sasha’s first mistake could be her last.

I am very honored that the author chose me as one of the people to promote the trailer whn it drops. So without further ado I present you with the trailer of this mysterious novel.....





MY OPINION:
Last year I read all the books written by Jennifer L Armentrout and absolutely loved them. J Lynn's books are quite addictive and completely phenomenal and they "never" disappoint. The plot of TILL DEATH is quite intriging
 and myterious and i bet has romance in it too. After all J Lynn is THE ROMANCE QUEEN for a reason.

AN EMBER IN THE ASHES by SABAA TAHIR

AN EMBER IN THE ASHES

                                    By Sabaa Tahir




An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir is a spectacular debut novel.A world entirely new and nothing similar to other fantasy worlds.This novel is pretty engrossing and keeps one on the edge of their seats.....

MY REVIEWS(spoiler_free)......
Laia is a slave.Elias is a solider. Neither has free will.

Laia belongs to the scholars community who are considered as the slave class under the Rule of the Martial Empire.She and her family are barely surviving when even that is taken away from her.One night the masks arrive and take her brother charging him for treason.
Laia who has been cowardly all her life now has to make a stand to free her only family,her brother.Will she be able to tell friends from foes?Will she have enough courage to do this?And lastly will she succeeded? 

Elias has led a life he didn't want to lead.A life of brutality.He plans to desert but the life of a deserter is no better.Always hunted for the rest of his life and executed when discovered.But Elias will rather be hunted than being the hunter.But will his plans play out as he wants them to?

Both Laia and Elias have decisions to make that will affect not only their lives but others too.....




MY EXPERIENCE......
This world is totally new and I have not read any similar world builts in fantasy lately.Fictional characters can be inspirational too.Sabaa Tahir has proven that.This book is one of a kind. Sabaa Tahir is definitely one of my favorite authors.

Believe me you want to read this book.

Cress has successfully managed to warn Cinder of the nasty plans of Queen Levana  without detection and helped them from being detected in space.Now they are coming to free her.Freedom is a concept Cress is yet to experience.Cress alas was not among the lucky shells who had escaped to Earth avoiding the clutches of evil Levana.

PURE (COVENANT #2) by JENNIFER L ARMENTROUT

PURE (COVENANT #2)

                                 By Jennifer L Armentrout

Pure by Jennifer L Armentrout is a spectacular sequel to Half Blood novel that will set you on the edge.



MY REVIEWS.......
Nightmares about the events with her mother are plaguing Alexandria Andros.Nothing has been the same since then,even her best friend Caleb is acting weird.Alex could not have been more of a weirdo if she tried , being tagged   all over her body.
Also being head over heals for a 'pure' only adds to the load of horse sh*t.Then there is this ever present fearsome guy Seth with whom she shares a special connection with and helps soothing her nightmares by sneaking into her room at night.This is doing wonders for her non existent relationship with Aiden.
It seems that all that wasn't enough for there is a threat swaying above Alex's head.The threat of servitude.Life alas for a half blood is not easy.......

QUOTES FROM PURE........
“Ever since I’ve met you, I’ve wanted to break every rule.” Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. “You’ll become the centre of someone’s world one day. And he’ll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth.” 
― Jennifer L. ArmentroutPure

HALF BLOOD by JENNIFER L ARMENTROUT

HALF BLOOD(COVENANT#1)

                    By Jennifer L. Armentrout

This book is for those who loved Vampire Academy and Percy Jackson series.

MY REVIEW(SPOILER_FREE....)
"Hematoi" or pure bloods are result of unions between demigods and mortals and their linage can be traced back to Greek Gods.Yep Greek Gods are for real.The pure bloods wield powers over elements.The union between a 'hematoi' and a mortal gives rise to a new race of half bloods who are incredibly fast and apt for combat but do not wield control over the elements and thus are considered inferior.As a result the society has treated them unfairly and has left them two options:to fight and become Sentinels or take "the Elixir " and become servants to the pure bloods.

Alexanderia Andros,a half blood, ran away with her mom three years ago....running away from "The Covenant" a society of pures.but she didn't know why?Her mother never told her.But three years later a series of events forces her to return to the covenant.Being back sucks as much as it is good.Alex must train extensively to pure her worth otherwise she will be turned into a servant for the pures.Also as she unravels true reason behind her mother taking her away from the covenant her world turns upside down. 

Will Alex be able to prove her worth or will she face slavery at the hands of the elixir?


MY EXPERIENCE....
At first i couldn't just separate this story line from that of Vampire Academy's but as the story progressed i could see it was something of its own.It was amazing.......

Why should you read this novel?
  • action packed
  • adventure
  • character development
  • easyly relateble
  • hot guys!!!!!
  • romance
and loads more reasons.....
