Blood of My Blood...

Blood Of My Blood (Jasper Dent #3)I LOVE the I Hunt Killers series! Sad this was the final book in the series! One of the most exciting thriller series I have read in a long time! Lovers of Criminal Minds will enjoy this series!

From Goodreads.com:

Falling Into Place...

Falling into PlaceI could not finish this book. There was a lot of hype about this one and I just didn't enjoy it. I stopped about 100 pages short of finishing the book. I hoped I would enjoy it the same way I did Before I Fall and If I Stay.

From Goodreads.com:
On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newton’s laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road.

Why? Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? Vividly told by an unexpected and surprising narrator, this heartbreaking and nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian High’s most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didn’t understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesn’t understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhang’s haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.

My Life Next Door...

My Life Next Door (My Life Next Door, #1)Picked this book up at Target. I enjoyed it. Good story about getting to know people with a little (okay maybe a lot) love twist tied in to the book. The girls will enjoy this one!

From Goodreads.com:
"One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time."

The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her and changes everything.

As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase's family embraces Samantha - even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha's world. She's suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?

A transporting debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another.

Let's Get Lost...

Let's Get LostTold in five different segments. I didn't finish the last section. This book was just okay to me.

From Goodreads.com:
Five strangers. Countless adventures. One epic way to get lost.

Four teens across the country have only one thing in common: a girl named LEILA. She crashes into their lives in her absurdly red car at the moment they need someone the most.

There's HUDSON, a small-town mechanic who is willing to throw away his dreams for true love. And BREE, a runaway who seizes every Tuesday—and a few stolen goods along the way. ELLIOT believes in happy endings…until his own life goes off-script. And SONIA worries that when she lost her boyfriend, she also lost the ability to love.

Hudson, Bree, Elliot and Sonia find a friend in Leila. And when Leila leaves them, their lives are forever changed. But it is during Leila's own 4,268-mile journey that she discovers the most important truth— sometimes, what you need most is right where you started. And maybe the only way to find what you're looking for is to get lost along the way.

Killer Instinct

Killer  InstinctLoved this one! Super quick read! I was really glad I brought this one home to read over the Labor Day weekend. Great book for anyone that is into Criminal Minds. I definitely did not see the ending coming! I hope there is a sequel written to this book.

From Goodreads.com:
"A zippy, gripping psychological drama.” ~Kirkus Reviews

"S. E. Green spares no one in her debut, KILLER INSTINCT–unique, beautifully twisted, and rich in mystery.” ~Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 NYT Bestselling Author

"With an engaging and complex main character and a plot twist you’ll never see, Green’s first novel is to die for.” RT Reviews

“The ending literally left me with my mouth hanging open–not only was it shocking, it was more than a little gruesome and bloody. In a word, perfect.” ~Crimespree Magazine

She’s not evil, but she has certain... urges.

Lane is a typical teenager. Loving family. Good grades. Afterschool job at the local animal hospital. Martial arts enthusiast. But her secret obsession is studying serial killers. She understands them, knows what makes them tick.

Why?

Because she might be one herself.

Lane channels her dark impulses by hunting criminals—delivering justice when the law fails. The vigilantism stops shy of murder. But with each visceral rush the line of self-control blurs.
And then a young preschool teacher goes missing. Only to return... in parts.

When Lane excitedly gets involved in the hunt for “the Decapitator,” the vicious serial murderer that has come to her hometown, she gets dangerously caught up in a web of lies about her birth dad and her own dark past. And once the Decapitator contacts Lane directly, Lane knows she is no longer invisible or safe. Now she needs to use her unique talents to find the true killer’s identity before she—or someone she loves—becomes the next victim...

Better When He's Bad...

Better When He's Bad (Welcome to the Point, #1)
I love Jay Crownover as an author. I really love her Marked Men series. The first book in the Point series was good but I still prefer the Marked Men books. This series will not go on the library shelves. I know the office ladies are going to enjoy this one! Better When He's Bad has great reviews on Goodreads.

From Goodreads.com:
Welcome to the Point

There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter.

Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.

Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.

Bax terrifies her, but it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize that some boys are just better when they’re bad.
