Just know from the start that it wasn't supposed to go like this.

All we wanted was to get near them. That's why we got a room in the hotel where they were staying.

We were not planning to kidnap one of them. Especially not the most useless one.

And we were definitely not planning on what happened next.

Follows a group of girls who, “accidentally kidnap their least-favorite member of their most favorite boy band."

Fangirls get a bad rap all the time – people say we’re weird, hysterical, obsessed, certifiable. But those people don’t understand.

Just because we were fangirls, doesn’t mean we were crazy. It’s important you know that up front. Because everything I’m about to tell you is going to seem . . . well, crazy.

From thrilling new talent Goldy Moldavsky comes a pitch-black, hilarious take on modern fandom and the badass girls who have the power to make—or break— the people we call “celebrities.”

In one sentence: A crazy, funny, unexpectedly enjoyable fan-girl ride!

Long Version: I ended up really enjoying KILL THE BOY BAND and the story way more than I was actually expecting. Normally I don't read fan girl stories because they are pretty cray and too obsessive? While there was definitely the crazy aspect in this book, there was also a lot of other elements that make this book particularly less crazy and more well rounded than most.

This book follows the events of one day in which a group of four friends: Isabel, Apple, Erin, and Sloane ; end up with a member of there favorite boy band. The story is told from Sloane's POV and she seemed like the most down to earth one, while the rest of her friends varying through different levels of obsession with the boy band.

SOMEONE DIES. I mean it's in the title, so you can expect that to be part of the story but really what I liked was that at the start, there is no one dead, which kind of makes you wonder : how will this person die? When? Where? Who did it? In that aspect it had an air or mystery but I didn't feel it to be the most important aspect.

All of the characters I liked except for Rubert P, or the useless member of THE RUBERTS, who was a complete DOUCHBAG. There were points I thought maybe he'll be nice or something but NOPE. In his situation I can kinda see why he wouldn't be to happy but really there was no stop to him. Which made what happens to him easier to handle.

One thing I didn't expect to find was romance. I liked that it was nicely put in a way that actually rounded out the story and the characters and wasn't so outrageously forced. I loved how the book was written and the HUMOR! I really had fun reading this. It was full of witty retorts, funny scenes, and ridiculously crazy events. I looked like a fool grinning to myself on the bus.

One of the things that I didn't like was that Sloane, even though she was pretty tame compared to the rest, she had a few opportunities to escape the situation. She even acted on leaving but then stayed. The girls also did some pretty mean and evil things to a certain member. Then the ending was again pretty anti-climatic. We learn who the killer is and I was definitely surprised. But in the end no one believes a fan girl and nothing happens, the killer is not even investigated...and life moves on.

There is definitely ups and downs but overall I did enjoy the book. The fan girl aspect was way more on the crazy-ridiculous side, I loved the writing, and the smidgen of romance we get. I wouldn't buy the book when it comes out but I will definitely be getting it from the Library to re-read and will be looking forward to more books by this author. Wish i could say more BUT it doesn't come out until FEBRUARY 2016!! @_@ I don't want to spoil it too much ;)

THAT'S IT! WHAT DID YOU THINK? HAVE YOU HEARD OF KILL THE BOY BAND? SOUND LIKE SOMETHING YOU'LL READ?

Blog Tour: One Thing Stolen by Beth Kephart [Review + Giveaway (US/CAN ONLY) ]

HELLO!!! Sorry for the post so late in the day, the brother has the sickness and I was his guardian for today. Why am I speaking in broken sentences? Well it might have to do with this book, ONE THING STOLEN! Keep on reading for my review and don't forget to enter the giveaway :) Let's go...

Something is not right with Nadia Cara.

While spending a year in Florence, Italy, she's become a thief. She has secrets. And when she tries to speak, the words seem far away. Nadia finds herself trapped by her own obsessions and following the trail of an elusive Italian boy whom only she has seen.

Can Nadia be rescued or will she simply lose herself altogether?

Set against the backdrop of a glimmering city, One Thing Stolen is an exploration of obsession, art, and a rare neurological disorder. It is a celebration of language, beauty, imagination, and the salvation of love.

Honestly, this book was "WOAW!" to me and even though it was very poignant there was also a sense of Hope. From the very start I was captivated by the writing, the story, the words, and Nadia. I must admit, I love poetry, so going into Nadia's head was like reading poetry and trying to decipher the words to create the picture. But I do understand why some people didn't click with the book.

The book at first is a bit chaotic as Nadia is and maybe the chaos and the interruptions did distract from the story but they helped make Nadia into this real girl who really lost herself in Florence. Her inner struggles, her mind was a strange and beautiful place to be and especially to read about. I loved Nadia's BFF Maggie and I love that the book was in three parts and every chapter had a feather.

Towards the middle there was something I wasn't expecting but it got us to understand Nadia through Maggie's POV. We also learn of the condition Nadia has and it opened my eyes to something new and terrifyingly wondrous. Maggie stuck with Nadia and was a true friend. I went into this thinking there would be romance but the bond of friendship was the strongest element that kept hope alive. One thing that was confusing was the changing in the POV because I hadn't even noticed Maggie was the one talking until the third chapter in the second part.

In the end there was a lot that was uncertain but there was also hope. I did have lots of feels and especially wished that Maggie had found Benedetto for Nadia. Overall, I was captivated and enjoyed the beauty of the story. There was just the flaw with the changing POV that made this go to a four star book. Definitely try this if you love poetry and want to open your mind to something new.

I was a child writer-dreamer who never strayed far from that path.

Today I’m the award-winning author of seventeen books—dreaming my way toward more by night, while running a boutique marketing communications firm by day.

I'm privileged to teach creative nonfiction at the University of Pennsylvania in spring semesters.

I love writing about the intersection of place and memory for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I am honored to review literature for the Chicago Tribune. Always and most importantly, I am privileged to be a mom.

Warring families. Forbidden love. And danger they can’t escape…

Daggers. Roses. Cowboys. Boat Men. Survivors of Earth's Last War, four “families” vie to rule the dreary streets of Rain City through violence and blood. Valencia Hara, Princess of the wealthy Black Roses, is raised in warrior ways with sharpened steel. But she is no ordinary Rose. She is Cursed—tainted with the ability to see seconds into the future…

To avenge his father's death, Sebastian Leold, of the rival gang Two Daggers, must face off against the Black Princess, he with his dagger, she with her katana sword. Yet a secret from a shared past leaves him unable to kill beautiful Valencia; nor can she kill him. For they once knew each other beyond their blood feud…and they have more secrets in common than they know.

But in a world filled with vengeance and violence, there can be no room for love…

That was literally me after reading this book. I started and I just couldn't stop! I read through this whole thing straight. In the first few pages I was a bit confused because we're just shoved into the this scary world. But as it went along everything was explained in such a smooth and clear way.

In this kind of world violence and fights are the norm. There were a lot of tense moments and of course, lots of action filled moments. Both were handled with such care, and you could clearly envision it like a movie. The world was so detailed and quite chilling in it's ferocity of "eat or be eaten". I liked the diversity of the people and even though there was violence, they did get along.

There was also a double POV, which I love! Because we got to see everything through two perspectives SEBASTIAN'S and VALENCIA'S. A TWO DAGGERS AND A BLACK ROSE. Both of whom were on warring "gangs". I loved them both instantly, Sebastian is fierce but doesn't like killing, sarcastic, swoony, and very thoughtful (in his own way). Valencia was a strong a** bi***, honestly I wouldn't get on her bad side. Yet she had moments where she wasn't a fierce warrior but just a normal girl who got hurt and cried. Both had less than perfect families and had a lot to deal with.

I wasn't sure what their connection would be but as the story went along everything clicked into place. OMGERD, I loved every moment they were together, weather it was through fighting or fleeing, you could just feel there connection and chemistry on every word. They both warred with the hate they had to feel for each other and yet they alike in so many ways. I was such an impossible and deadly romance, that you want it to all go right!

I could ramble on and on about this book but I really don't want to spoil ANY of it for you guys! Just read it because this is honestly one the best books about forbidden love that incorporates so many other wonderful aspects besides romance. So overall for me 5 STARS!

Three went in. Three came out. None even a shadow of who they once were.

When their car breaks down, Dee, her boyfriend Luke, and his brother Mike walk through a winter storm to take refuge in a nearby town called Purity Springs. When they arrive, the emergency sirens are blaring and the small farming town seems abandoned. With no other shelter, they spend the night in an empty house.

But they soon discover that not everything in Purity Springs is as it seems. When the town's inhabitants suddenly appear the next morning, Dee, Luke, and Mike find themselves at the mercy of the charismatic leader, Elijah Hawkins, who plans to make Dee his new wife.

Elijah's son, Joseph, offers to help them escape . . . but the price of his help may be more than Dee and her friends can bear.

Normally I don't read horror but when I read the summary for Creed, I don't know it just intrigued me so much. I HAD to read it and after reading it, it was so worth the read. As I said I'm not much of a fan of the genre but I did end up enjoying the thrill. I was glad that they all made it out alive (I mean in movies only one comes out) but as it said in the summary, there was a price.

Now, I really liked that the story took me through a lot of mental benders, normally i would stop because I couldn't take the suspense but in this book i really just wanted to plow through and know what was going to hit me next. I liked the characters but overall i didn't connect with them much. I understood there situation and felt bad for them but not much I can relate to. One thing I LOVED was that at the beginning we can get a picture that Dee came from a hard childhood and man, i wish Dee's story of overcoming that and finding love would be it's own novel because it so deserves one.

As I was saying this book was a thrill and the ending was a bit open but that just means we can make our own conclusions, which let me think and I love it when a book makes my head work ;) This was also my first book with crazy clan-like leaders and even though he was made whacked out, i think I like these kinda books now :) Overall I ended up enjoying this book. I would definitely recommend this if you like thrillers, mind twisters, and horror. This is a great ook to read on a cold, wintry night with a nice cup coffee. So 3 gorgeous roses from me!

[UNEXPECTEDLY LOVED] AN ARC REVIEW OF SING SWEET NIGHTINGALE BY ERICA CAMERON

Mariella Teagen hasn't spoken a word in four years.

She pledged her voice to Orane, the man she loves—someone she only sees in her dreams. Each night, she escapes to Paradise, the world Orane created for her, and she sings for him. Mariella never believed she could stay in Paradise longer than a night, but two weeks before her eighteenth birthday, Orane hints that she may be able to stay forever.

Hudson Vincent made a pledge to never fight again.

Calease, the creature who created his dream world, swore that giving up violence would protect Hudson. But when his vow caused the death of his little brother, Hudson turned his grief on Calease and destroyed the dream world. The battle left him with new abilities and disturbing visions of a silent girl in grave danger—Mariella.

Now, Hudson is fighting to save Mariella's life while she fights to give it away. And he must find a way to show her Orane’s true intentions before she is lost to Paradise forever.

*REVIEWED BY KARINA*--> When I first started this book I wasn't too thrilled. I did not think this book would capture my attention. A few chapters in and I couldn't put it down, I loved how the author hinted at the epic romance in this novel, and she didn't overdo it.

This book is filled with betrayal that almost reminds me of the betrayal in Othello. Where the betrayer (Iago) takes everything he possibly can from Othello under the pretense that he is his loyal honest friend. Of course in this book the betrayed doesn't partake in a homicide suicide. No in this book the betrayer, Mariella was strong and vengeful. I think maybe a little too strong.

The author does portray her as strong willed upon introducing her but i believe that even the strongest of us would have a little more than a breakdown a after we find out that everything we know is a lie. She however was not my favorite character. Mariella was the character you scream at for her ignorance.

The author brilliantly uses dramatic irony that will keep you from putting the book down. My favorite character was Hudson. Our hero was brave, comic, and had no idea what he was doing. I liked how the author gave him black eyes. Usually we see the bad guys as giant black-eyed monsters. This was refreshing. So 5 STARS from me :)

Life. Death. And...Love?

Emma would give anything to talk to her mother one last time. Tell her about her slipping grades, her anger with her stepfather, and the boy with the bad reputation who might be the only one Emma can be herself with.

But Emma can't tell her mother anything. Because her mother is brain-dead and being kept alive by machines for the baby growing inside her.

Meeting bad-boy Caleb Harrison wouldn't have interested Old Emma. But New Emma-the one who exists in a fog of grief, who no longer cares about school, whose only social outlet is her best friend Olivia-New Emma is startled by the connection she and Caleb forge.

Feeling her own heart beat again wakes Emma from the grief that has grayed her existence. Is there hope for life after death-and maybe, for love?

OH LORD THE FEELS!!!! *calming down to actually review* I could not put this down. I didn't know how this was going to play out but I was NOT expecting to break out in tears in parts and FEEL SO dang much! I LOVED THIS BOOK x Infinity XD Although this was not the cover I had thought would be picked in the end. I still like it and the tagline is really clever :)

The story was heartbreaking, raw, emotional, and unique! It reminded me of why I LOVED Elizabeth Scott's books so much in the past. She can truly weave real stories that you will hate to love because they make you feel so much and make you fall in love. The story dealt with a really hard issue of whether a pregnant woman whose brain-dead should be kept alive for the baby.

I loved reading about Emma, our main MC, and how she coped with the semi-loss of her mother and the struggle she had within. At first I didn't really understand what she was going through but I could connect to her loss. I would be a little messed up if I had to see my "dead" mother still alive. On top of that she had to come to terms with the hate she had towards her unborn half-brother & stepfather. The whole thing really kinda twisted her. She remembers the happy times when her mom was pregnant but she kinda tends to only see the bad parts. I loved seeing her slowly change her perspective on the whole situation.

With this sad story I wasn't sure how the romance would play out, if there would be insta-love or something. Thankfully the romance was so sweet, captivating, and pulled at my heart too! Even though Emma was going through something tough Caleb was also going through a hell all his own. Caleb is labeled the "bad-boy" and in part that was true but he was so much more too. He was damaged and broken, when you read his story with his sister you'll understand him SO MUCH MORE. Caleb & Emma both helped each other mend the broken pieces they had and become whole. They had to learn to deal with there pasts; before they can open up and let love in. There relationship was simply gorgeous, touching, and done really well :D

THE ENDING!! Gah why?! I understood it had to happen but gah, I was crying like a baby and yet i was still happy with it. It was utterly beautiful and heartwrenching. I LOVED this book so much and to me it was one of perfect emotional books. It had the hard, the intense, but it also gave you the warmth and the redemption. For me it was a 100% 5 stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

---

Publication Date: August 12th 2013
Series: The Periodic Series #1
Pages: 293
Source: tour host provided
Organized by: MPTB Tours
Summary from Goodreads (here):

AVERY PIKE is a commodity. No, more than a commodity. Her existence is guarded at all costs.

She’s a water Elementalist, the strongest of her dwindling kind. She creates steam to provide energy to fuel Dome Four: the only thing standing between humanity and an earth ravaged by World War III. No steam, no Dome. No Dome, no life.

Or so she thinks.

That is, until a mysterious man offers her a way out of having to donate steam. A way to escape the corrupt government of Dome Four. While the offer seems too good to be true, Avery is intrigued. But when she arrives to her new home, she realizes the grass isn’t any less dead on this side of the fence. Instead, the lies are just hidden better.

…Which means digging deeper.

When Avery enlists the help of her friends to uncover the truth, she learns that while some secrets are better left concealed, humankind was never meant to live in a cage. And when you can control the most sought after resource, you can learn to control anything…including the fate of your world.

---

MY THOUGHTS:

---

Steel Lily was so much MORE than what I could have hoped for. I was intrigued by the synopsis, I wanted to meet Avery and her crazy world. Once i started reading Steel lily I could NOT leave it! It was a different and mesmerizing dystopian ya book! It was full of secrets, danger, romance, and a set of characters that i loved!

The World that Megan Curd created is so crazy and scary; a true dystopian world of fright. You don't know what's what and you have to be on guard most of the time. I would be terrified if i lived there. After world war III the world was in rambles and these domes were built to keep people safe. In Avery's Dome they use there skill of Industrialization, so thats where the steampunk element came in and I LOVED how it was so generously incorporated in! Also there is a shortage of oxygen which was the scariest thing i've read about because you literally have seconds before your lungs collapse and YOU DIE O.O

Avery has lived in this dome, DOME 4 almost all her life and she's special because she can make steam *which is a pretty awesome ability* so the government NEEDS her. She's had it tough and i loved her story, her past, her rebelliousness, and her witt! She was strong and yet she sometimes showed her softer side especially with her friends.

OMG HER FRIENDS and the other characters, I LOVED THEM ALL! Seriously I haven't read a book where I loved reading about every character. I Loved Sari because of her slyness and fierceness. I loved Alice because she was such a great friend and could be just as strong as everyone else, even though she had no special skill except sewing. Then there was "Legs" whom was such an enigma and so loyal. I even liked the evil characters like Erica and Mr.Riggs. All so unique in there own ways and likeable.

Oh yeah the romance. This book was the perfect amount of action and romance. The book wasn't centered on the romance but on the story and I enjoyed that a lot! I also have to mention JAXON!!!!! He's SO SWOONY HE WAS SO CHARMING, WITTY, and CARING! He's had such a tough life and in many ways he's a lot like Avery, so they understand each other. I liked him for Avery even though he was an ass sometimes he tries to change for her. He was strong, rebellious, and man OH MAN did he make me giggle and smile most of the time with his banter and flirtiness with Avery XD

I won't spoil this book for you because SERIOUSLY you have to read it to understand the feels because I bet I'm not doing such a great job putting all the EPICNESS in this review. You will definitely be captivated by the wild and dangerous world. Fall in love with these characters and the secrets they hide.

OVERALL RATING:

A unique, action packed, secret filled book that will have you flying through the pages! Great for readers looking for a different and refreshing take on ya dystopia. I highly recommend this for all dystopian and steampunk lovers! I REALLY LOVED THIS, so i'm giving it 4.5 out of 5 STARS!
