First, A little something about the Author.

Olivia Rivers is a high school student, a literary agent intern, and an obsessive-compulsive reader. She has a slight obsession with Kootenai County in Idaho, and she’s pretty sure life will always be awesome as long as Irish accents exist. She lives with dysautonomia, a chronic medical condition affecting her nervous system. Portions of proceeds from her “Tortured Elements” series go toward supporting youth with dysautonomia.

Now, A little something about the book.

Totrured elementals # 1

“Magic is just like love, Allai. It won’t wait for permission before it destroys you.”



Like sand in an hourglass, Allai’s future is dwindling away. She’s spent her entire life fighting the Mages who threaten humanity, and dreams of someday eradicating magic. But all it takes is an anonymous phone call for the truth to spill out: Allai is the one thing she despises most. 



She’s a Mage. 



Though ancient law mandates Allai’s death, she still has one last chance of survival. His name is Drake Rhaize, and he swears he can lead Allai to a sanctuary for Mages. Allai hasn’t seen Drake in years, but she remembers him as the Demon boy who used to hold her close and softly whisper that he’d keep her safe. But Drake has changed since then: He’s now suspected of murder, and has been out-casted for betraying his own kind. 



While Allai doesn’t trust Drake, she has no choice but to put her life in his hands and hope he can get her to safety. Because Allai’s father has hired a pack of Demons to bring her back to him, dead or alive–and Demons never stop the hunt.

Excerpt Two:

Seeing him was like reliving a perfect daydream and her worst nightmare at the same time. She didn’t know how to react. She didn’t know how to even think.

She knew Drake was the guy who’d tried to take her life. But somehow she couldn’t feel the right kind of fear toward him. She didn’t have that gut-wrenching, instinctual terror she’d felt toward Silas. Her fear for Drake was way more confusing, but she was slowly starting to decipher it:

She was afraid of learning the truth. Of finding out whether all those memories of him—of his comforting golden eyes and soft words—were real or not. 

The thought threw off her footsteps, and she nearly missed the next step of the staircase. She slammed her foot down to regain balance. Her bad foot, of course. Because wasn’t that just her luck?

Pain ricocheted through her ankle, almost tearing a scream from her. But she held it back, biting her lip and only letting out a tiny whimper. Luke was going to have to look at her ankle and make sure it was only sprained, and not broken.

As if on cue, he appeared at the top of the stairs, his arms crossed and his expression turned down in a scowl. Allai read his expression and swallowed hard to keep her pounding heart in place. How could he have found out about Drake so quickly?

Allai gripped the banister, her nails digging into the smooth varnish. She had to tell him. She had to just blurt everything out and pretend she’d had no intention of keeping Drake’s predicament a secret.

“Allai,” Luke said quietly.

She hobbled up a few more steps and didn’t reply. She just focused on the plush carpet covering the steps, trying to dig her good foot into it to keep from slipping. All she had to do was open her mouth and say some simple words: Drake Rhaize is out by the border. Go catch him. It should have been easy.

But it wasn’t.

My Review

  

This book started off good, but then it felt like it was going in the Twilight direction. Girl moves to new school, guy that never talks to anyone talks to her and he sits at a table in the lunch room by himself. I didn’t think that I would continue reading it, but I did. I’m glad I went on because that’s where the similarities ended. I still think it was a little short and I found a few errors, but he author said she is fixing them now. :D Other than that I think this was a good book, nothing fancy. It is a good book to read if you have a few extra hours to kill. With that being said, the ending left me wanting more. The ending was GREAT!!! I was like no way man no way. I was not expecting that and I loved it. I know that I have to read the next one ASAP!!!! I need to know what happens. I’ve also read other books about fire starters, but mainly they were adult books. I like how she changed a few things up and threw in a few twists. I highly enjoyed that. I have high hopes for this series and I know it can only get better from here.

Nat: I was hoping that she was going to be a stronger character. She was in her own way, I guess. I think in the next one we will really find out how strong she is. She was a likable character and I can’t wait to see how she handles her current situation. EEP

Chace: He was not what I was expecting either. I was hoping for a kinda bad boy that has a soft side, but Chace is an all-around good guy that wants to be with Nat. He also seemed a little clinging and I hope that he isn’t like that in the next one.

Jesse: Now he is someone that I liked. I guess you would call him the bad guy in this book, but I don’t think he is bad at all. He just doesn’t know all the details yet and I’m hoping he will change sides.

Favorite Quotes: I couldn’t just pick one LOL 

If this was one of Mom’s romance novels we would’ve been experiencing insta-love by now 

Well good for him. He had a garage full while I still had my training bike

“What….are you doing?” Chace stood at the door taking in the show. My antics must’ve entertained him. He appeared to have recovered some of his strength. I tossed the pillow back on the bed. “I was…umm…just- “You were just kissing my pillow, passionately.”

Blurb for book, Deeper We Fall

Deeper We Fall by Chelsea M. Cameron - Publication date: January 12th, 2013
Two years after her best friend was involved in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain injury, Lottie Anders is ready to start her freshman year of college. Ready to move on. Ready to try and forget the night that ripped her life apart.

Her plans come to a screeching halt when not one, but both brothers responsible for the accident end up back in her life again.

Zack is cruel, selfish and constantly rubbing what happened to her friend in Lottie's face.

Zan is different. He listens to her awkward ramblings. His words are few and far between, but when he does speak, she can't help but listen. He loves "To Kill a Mockingbird" as much as she does, and his dark eyes are irresistible.

The trouble is, Zan was the driver in the accident, and now Lottie's discovered he lied to her about what happened that night. She must decide if trusting him again will lead to real forgiveness, or deeper heartache.

[Review] The Archived Sneak Peak

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.

Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.

Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.

Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous - it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.

Review

I really regret reading this sneak peak. It pulled me in from the start and I fell deeply into the story. So much so that when I could no longer flip to anymore pages, I realized I had forgotten it is only a small part of the full novel. Needless to say, I was a little peeved. The book was so well written and the characters so addicting that I did not want to stop reading there. The world of the keepers was greatly intriguing. The descriptions were so vivid. The characters were very well fleshed out as well. I especially loved Mackenzie. The poor girl suffers so much loss and it leaves her in a dark place. The book had a very dark feel to it, so it is not for someone looking for a light- hear-ted read. I greatly enjoyed the writing style and am curious to finish the book. It was rather addicting. I will be on the lookout for more titles by this author. Although I have to wait to read this novel in its completion first. 

5/5
