Book Review: Everbound by Brodi Ashton

Hello Fellow Page-Turners,

Since I was writing a ton of reviews right before I was going to Italy, I shortened the length of several of my reviews to merely stating my overall thoughts and impressions of the novel. I hope that this doesn't disappoint anybody. 

Before I get into my review here's some general information about the book. 

Everbound
(Everneath, #2)

by Brodi Ashton

Released On: January 22, 2013

Published by: Balzer and Bray

Average Goodreads Rating: 4.21

Pages: 358

Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.

Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.

Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love. 

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I have such mixed feelings about this book and this series as a whole. I really wanted to like this novel and yet going into this novel I really thought I might hate it. I hadn't really read anybody's reviews about it, but I just had  really mixed feelings. That could partly because I love retellings about Persephone and this is one of the more drastically different than the original story. 

I really wanted to like Cole and yet he kept being an idiot and doing things that made me want to hate him. And then there was Nikki. I really disliked her as a character and yet she intrigued me.  

The story was well-written, the characters were well-developed, and the story was paced well. It kept me guessing and then there was that ending. The ending left me so frustrated. I'm excited to read the next one in the series and can't wait to see how Brodi finishes the series off. I will admit to feeling really anxious about how she will end the series, but I'm still excited. 

That's why rating this novel is so hard. It just rubs me the wrong way. There's no reason I shouldn't like it. The novel is incredible it just bugs me. However, I'll look past that and give it 4 stars. 

Love,

Book Review: The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler

Hello Fellow Page-Turners,

Since I was writing a ton of reviews right before I was going to Italy, I shortened the length of several of my reviews to merely stating my overall thoughts and impressions of the novel. I hope that this doesn't disappoint anybody. 

Before I get into my review here's some general information about the book. 

The Book of Broken Hearts

by Sarah Ockler

Released On: May 21, 2013

Published by: Simon Pulse

Average Goodreads Rating: 4.25

Pages: 352

When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A poignant and romantic novel from the author ofBittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer.

Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She’s seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.

Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she’s spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude’s fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?

Jude tells herself it’s strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude’s defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she’s speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong?

Jude may have taken an oath, but she’s beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking. 

Disclaimers: I received a temporary electronic ARC of this book from the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for my honest opinion.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: Ever since I read Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler, she has been one of my favorite authors. I loved that novel so much and was looking forward to reading another novel by her. So when I saw that I had the chance to read this novel and share my opinions about it, I jumped at the chance.

This novel was incredible and was even better than I could have imagined. Ockler created another masterpiece with this one. I absolutely loved the characters Jude and Emilio. Their chemistry was undeniable. Both of these characters had their struggles and had a lot to overcome, but they were good people. I've been reading a lot of novels centered around the bad boy and the good girl combo. Emilio wasn't naughty, but he wasn't boring or ultra-nice either. He was just the perfect combo of nice and naughty.

Jude's dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and left Jude struggling to care for him. She thought that restoring his old bike would make things better. But if but her in a situation where she couldn't win. She vowed never to get near any of the Vargas' boys. The older two broke both of her sisters's hearts and they made her swear never to get involved with one. But helping her dad is worth it. I loved watching Jude grow up and become the person I knew she could be.

Jude had several older sisters who were always more than happy to help guide her and to tell her what to do, but Jude had never really taken the time to do what she wanted to. She figured that out in this novel.

The writing was poignant and masterfully written. Ockler is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Definitely recommend this one. 

Love,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!

Hello Fellow Page-Turners,


I just want to wish all you mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day. Very few people have had the impact on my life that my mother has had. She is my best friend, my hero, my role-model, my everything.

Without her I would be so lost and so directionless. She taught me everything I know and I love her so much. I know that oftentimes in our society mothers don't get the credit they deserve, so to all you mothers out there know that you are loved and appreciated.

Also to all you women who haven't married, thanks for your influence too. I have been privileged to interact with older sisters in their eighties who never married and they were like grandmothers to me. They taught me how to sing, they taught me how to sit quietly in an audience (or at least tried too... :) ), they taught me about poise and grace.

They taught me so much. So to all you women out there you are loved and appreciated. Thanks for all you do. You are loved and appreciated. My Italian is still rough but I think it's Giorno Felice Madre in Italian. To those who speak Italian, sorry if I butchered that.

Love, 

Danica Page

Book Review: Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Dare You To
(Pushing the Limits, #2)

by Katie McGarry

Received ARC for Review

New Adult/Young Adult Realistic Contemporary Fiction

Released On: June 7, 2013

Published By: Harlequin Teen

Average Goodreads Rating: 4.24

Pages: 462

Amazon Link/Goodreads Link

Before I get into my review, here's the synopsis available on Goodreads:

Ryan lowers his lips to my ear. "Dance with me, Beth."

"No." I whisper the reply. I hate him and I hate myself for wanting him to touch me again....

"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. 

Disclaimers: I received an electronic copy of this novel for review from the publisher via Netgalley. I was not obligated to write a good review nor am I receiving any compensation for writing this review. 

An Overview of the Novel: Beth Risk's home wasn't perfect. Her mother might not have been able to take care of her, but Beth did love her and if Beth wasn't there to look out for her mom who would. But when Beth gets booked for a crime she didn't commit, her uncle swoops in and forced Beth to choose between living with him or sending her mom to jail or worse. It's an easy choice. But that just made Beth's life a living nightmare.

She's cut off from her old life, her old friends, and is expected to behave in a way her uncle finds acceptable. And she has to follow his rules or else her mom is done for. But is it really worth it?

To top it all off, Ryan Stone the golden-boy of the town has this need to pester her. He claims he really likes her; she thinks he's just out to win some bet. But Ryan's homelife isn't quite as golden as everybody thinks.

One thing is certain throwing the good boy and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks is bound to make life in this small town interesting. 

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: Unbelievable. I loved this book so much. I was skeptical. I mean I really really really liked the first one and so I was mentally preparing myself to be disappointed. Instead I was blown away and actually liked this one even more. 

Katie McGarry delivered another novel that sucked me in from page one until the end. And to be honest, part of me wants to go back and reread the book immediately. It was that good. Her characters are so realistic and their stories are gripping. Her novels are always an emotional ride. They make you really stop and think. I love that.

I have shared time and time again that I love books that make you stop and think about gritty issues. This book does just that. It deals with so many different levels of abuse (emotional, physical, drugs, etc.) and multiple levels of issues with families.

I loved that we saw glimpses into the lives of Echo and Noah, but I really loved hearing Beth's story. 

If you love the new adult genre, books that are about gritty issues, or loved Pushing the Limits, then go read this one now!

You can read this one without having read Pushing the Limits and the story will still make sense, but I'd recommend reading them in order because they are both brilliant. 

So why 5 stars? Because Katie McGarry is brilliant. Both novels I've read by her are profound, moving, inspiring, deep, entertaining, and real. They are such emotional reads and I simply can't stop reading them. I read this book in one sitting and I started it at 1 in the morning (not smart on my part), but I just couldn't stop reading. This is a book I plan on buying and rereading over and over again.

I can't express how much I loved this book. But trust me, go buy this one. You won't regret it.

In Summary: Katie's sophomore novel is as incredible if not more incredible than her debut. This novel is easily one of my favorites of the year and one that I'd recommend to anybody and everybody.

The Wrap-up: All you really need to know is that this novel is brilliant and that you should buy it. Amazon Link is here. In all seriousness, I did love this book. It was incredibly written and simply beautiful. 

Love,

Danica Page

Synopsis: 

Opposites do more than just attract in Toni Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl he can’t resist.

The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lies behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test.

Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,” the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam.

Book Review: Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Walking Disaster

(Beautiful, #2)

by Jamie McGuire

Received for Review

New Adult/Young Adult Realistic Contemporary Fiction

Released On: April 2, 2013

Published By: Atria Books

Average Goodreads Rating: 4.38

Pages: 433

Goodreads Link

Before I get into my review, here's the synopsis available on Goodreads:

Can you love someone too much?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Disclaimers: I received an electronic copy of this novel for review from the publisher via Netgalley. I was not obligated to write a good review nor am I receiving any compensation for writing this review. 

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: After reading Beautiful Disaster, I finished the book with mixed feelings. It seems like people either hate or love that book. There was no in-between. I left uncertain about how I thought about  Travis and Abby as characters. I thought the writing was beautiful, however.

So when I saw the chance to review Walking Disaster, I decided I would. Let me start out by saying this: Travis is not a great guy. He fights, he throws things, he's jealous, controlling, and at times a complete idiot. However, Travis is not abusive. Having said that, there's no way in heck I would ever want anybody I know dating him.

Okay now that I've addressed that Travis is not at all role-model for people, I hope people won't slam my review.

Like I said, I really enjoyed this novel. It was beautifully written. Granted, I was frustrated the whole time, but it was a great book.

I loved watching Travis and Abby's interactions and hearing Travis's side of the story made me like him more than I thought was possible. I'm not excusing his behavior, but knowing why he acted the way he did helped me feel more sympathetic toward him.

Travis might not be the ideal guy. In fact, he's far from it. But deep down, he has a good heart and isn't a bad guy. I know people are worried about the message this book is sending young girls (ie: you can change a guy, rough guys around the edges have good hearts) and feel like it will lead to abusive situations. However, not to bash any books here, but a lot of novels send terrible messages and present it as normal or good. (ie: Hunger Games, Twilight, etc.)

So yes this book might give girls the wrong idea; however, it also is a well-written novel that is intriguing and great novel. Travis is far from perfect but I really loved hearing his story. 

This novel is not plot-driven; rather the reader gets to live inside Travis's mind and hear his thoughts about what's happening. If you haven't read Beautiful Disaster, you will be completely lost. Read Beautiful Disaster first. It was a more lyrical style but I really enjoyed it. 

So why 4 stars? It wasn't my favorite novel ever, but it was well-written. I felt like the novel ran a little bit long at times and it just lacked that extra something to make it a 5 but it was still an enjoyable read. 

In Summary: Walking Disaster and its companion novel Beautiful Disaster are controversial books and people's opinions about them vary. I, however, really enjoyed reading this novel. It was an entertaining book and I don't think it leads to girls wanting abusive relationships. This book isn't for everybody, but I'm glad I read it.

Warnings/Side-notes: It's a New Adult novel and is definitely made for more mature readers. Several sexual references and mentions of drinking and drugs. These references are not graphic, but they are also not meant for young readers. 

The Wrap-up: A controversial book that isn't meant for everybody, but I enjoyed it. It's definitely a book that people love or hate. If it sounds like your cup of tea, then give it a shot. I'm glad I did.

Love,

Book Review: The Dance by Dan Walsh

The Dance

by Dan Walsh

Received for Review

Released On: April 1, 2013

Published by: Fleming H. Revell Company

Average Goodreads Rating: 4.33

Pages: 344

Before I get into my review, here's the synopsis available on Goodreads:

Jim Anderson is a successful businessman, and his wife, Marilyn, is the perfect wife. And why wouldn't she be? He gives her everything she needs. That's why Jim never expected to come home one day and find Marilyn gone.

After 27 years of marriage, Marilyn has had enough of feeling unloved and neglected. She wants to experience some measure of happiness before she's too old to enjoy it, even signing up for dance lessons, something 

Jim would never do. What will it take for Jim to finally become the man Marilyn needs him to be? 

Combining the literary talents of bestselling author Dan Walsh and the relationship expertise of bestselling author Gary Smalley, "The Dance" is the first novel in The Restoration Series. Readers will get caught up in these flawed but sincere members of the Anderson family as they rediscover genuine love and start a transformation that ultimately affects all of them.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.

Disclaimers: I received a temporary electronic arc from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.  

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: Going into this novel, I wasn't sure I'd like it. I don't generally like novels that are about married couples or about couples who are having marital problems.

But I decided to give this one a shot and I'm so glad I did. This novel was absolutely beautiful. I loved reading it. 

I love novels where characters experience some life-changing or self-actualizing journey. Jim and Marilyn both changed so much and I loved watching them grow. 

Dan's novel was poignant and a great read. I found myself turning the pages faster and faster as the story went on. I enjoyed watching the Anderson family grow closer and overcome trials. 

I already mentioned how surprised I was by how much I loved this novel, but that doesn't begin to do this novel justice. This novel was easily one of my favorites of the year. Dan wrote this novel with such skill and expertise. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this novel to anybody.

The novel does have a Christian stance, but religion is never pushed down the reader's throats. The theme of faith was expertly woven in. Definitely recommend this novel.

So Why 5 Stars? It was beautifully and poignantly written. There was depth to this novel and yet it was also just a really enjoyable read.

In Summary: A beautiful novel that greatly exceeded my expectations. The Dance is an inspiring novel that reflects the growth of one family in the midst of trials and struggles. 

The Wrap-up: Love this novel. I was really impressed with it and can't wait to read more by this author. Definitely recommend it. 

Love,

Book Review: Rush to the Altar by Jamie Carrie

Rush to the Altar

Received for Review

Adult Realistic Contemporary Romance

Released On: February 14, 2013

Average Goodreads Rating: 3.65

Pages:

Before I get into my review, here's a synopsis of the novel:

Madeline Goode is devastated when her husband dies in a car accident. After moving back in with her parents with her two year old son, Max, she attempts to put the pieces of her life back together. But she didn’t plan on meeting Jake Hart, the star NBA player that she keeps bumping into at her new job as a charity coordinator for the Racers. And she certainly didn’t plan on learning that her husband’s accident may have been no accident at all.

Will Jake stick around while her life gets complicated? And if she gives in to her heart, will she just be making another mistake? Rushing to the Altar may be the most daring and risky move of her life.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. 

Disclaimers: I received a copy of this novel for review from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not obligated to write a good review nor did I receive any compensation for writing this review.

An Overview of the Novel: Madeline's husband just died and she's devastated, but her friends and family are right, she needs move on. She just can't.

That's where Jake Hart enters the scene. Something about Madeline draws him. She's made it clear that she's not ready to date again, but Jake isn't about to take now for an answer. But then Madeline gets mixed up in the middle of a crime investigation and suddenly it might not be such a good idea for Jake to be around her. 

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: Jaime Carrie has a way of creating characters that catch your attention. I loved the characters in this novel from the first page to the very last page. Jake and Madeline had excellent chemistry. 

The writing was cute, a little cheesy, but cute. I loved how Jamie developed her novel. She's always been a skilled writer and certainly knows how to craft her story.

This novel had elements of suspense but I wouldn't classify it as suspense. And while, the events that happened in this novel might have been unrealistic and a little bit unbelievable at times, I still really liked the novel. 

It was a cute read and one that had me laughing and smiling the entire time I was reading it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fans of this genre. 

So why 3.5 stars? It was a cute, funny, enjoyable read that left me entertained and amused. Jaime's writing was incredible and I loved the story. 

In Summary: Jamie has done it again. She's written another novel that I loved reading. If you're looking for a cute, fun read, then look no further than Rush to the Altar.

Warnings/Side-notes: Nothing comes to mind.

The Wrap-up: Like I've said, this was a cute book that I enjoyed reading. I've loved every single book I've read by Jamie and plan on keeping close tabs on her and her future writing. 

Love,

Danica Page

Before I get into my review, here's the synopsis:

Eighteen year old Harper has grown up under her career Marine of a father's thumb. Ready to live life her own way and experience things she's only ever heard of from the jarheads in her father's unit; she's on her way to college at San Diego State University. 

Thanks to her new roommate, Harper is introduced to a world of parties, gorgeous guys, family and emotions. Some she wasn't expecting yet, and others she never knew she was missing.

She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with her boyfriend Brandon, and her roommate's brother Chase. Covered in tattoos, known for fighting in the Underground and ridiculously muscled...they're exactly what she was always warned to stay away from, but just what she needs. Despite their dangerous looks and histories, both adore and would do anything for Harper, including stepping back if it means she's happy. 

Her first year away is turning out to be near perfect, but one weekend of giving in to heated passion will change everything.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Disclaimers: I received an electronic copy of this book for review from the publisher via Edelweiss. I was not obligated to write a positive review nor did I receive any compensation for writing this review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own. 

An Overview of the Novel: I'm not going to be able to give a very thorough synopsis of this book without giving things away and so please excuse me if this synopsis sounds vague. I just can't condone spoiling books.

Harper Jackson lived an interesting life on a marine base with her father who she called sir. She was home-schooled and never really had any other friends besides the ones at the base. But when she leaves for college, she enters an entirely different world—one full of boys, parties, and lots and lots of drama.

Harper was disgusted with her roommate's brother Chase and yet she feels an undeniable pull to him. But then there's Brandon, the boy who becomes her boyfriend. She loves him and yet she can't forget about Chase. What makes it even worse is that Brandon and Chase are best friends and roommates. How can Harper condone coming between them and which one will she choose? She knows that both of them adore her and she likes both of them, so how can she choose. 

My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I knew what was going to happen in this book thanks to a spoiled review. :( That's partly why I was so adamant on not giving anything away. This book was just heart-wrenching. Seriously, once again it was an emotional read. I knew what was going to happen and it still seriously broke my heart. I loved Chase and Brandon both, and even though I hated what Harper did to them, I liked her too.  

That's why I can never decide if I like love triangles. When they are done really well, they break my heart. However, Molly did a great job at developing her characters. They seemed so real to me.

Her writing was solid. The pace never dragged. I just kept turning page after page because I was literally dying to know what happened next and exactly how everything was going to happen.

However, on the whole I did really enjoy this novel. It was frustrating, but beautifully frustrating and poignantly written so on the whole I really liked this book, even if I do wish certain things hadn't happened. 

So why 4 stars? Everything that I've previously mentioned makes giving this book a rating so hard. I had a love-hate relationship with it. I hated what happened in this book, as in I was so frustrated I wanted to throw the book at the wall. And yet, it was powerfully written and just so dang good. However, I really did like the book and so 4 stars.

In Summary: Molly McAdams's has perfected writing novels that frustrate me to no end and yet ones that I still love. Her characters are complex and definitely are not cookie-cutter characters. Her writing is beautiful and her plots are intriguing and yet tragic. 

Warnings/Side-notes: This book is heart-wrenching and because of that several people did not like this book. It's beautiful but tragic. If you can deal with reading a really sad, frustrating, but beautiful book than pick this one up. If that's not your cup-of-tea, then you won't like this one. 

As for a content warning, it's definitely for adults. There is some sexual content, references to drinking, and some instances of strong language. 

The Wrap-up: I really did like this book and yet it frustrated me. Molly McAdams had definitely left me with no desire to read about another love triangle for at least three months. :) Great novel. Definitely recommended to those who don't mind frustrating books. 

Love,

Danica Page
