Book Review: Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer Armentrout

Goodreads Summary: Every touch has its price

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.

But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

Reading this book has be going in so many different directions! In my White Hot Kiss review I pretty much established where I wanted to go and who's side I was on. With Layla being part warden and part demon I wanted her to embrace the latter. Upon reading this book some of my feeling are in the air.

In this story there is a mystery that has everyone one wondering or some. Zanye and Roth have to work together for the sake of Layla and then there are some lies in between the two of them. This book was centered mostly around Layla and Zayne's relationship. She trust Zayne with everything but she knows deep down that she can be herself with Roth. Some situations that occurred in the story proved that (not going to spoil it :)). I did feel that Layla had some serious moments where she needed to "grow up" and I hope that in the next installment she is a bit more mature. Still, I love her.

Now for a bit fangirling. I honestly can't decided where this triangle is going. Through the story I was all for happy for Zayne for stepping up and showing Lalya just how he felt

HINT: CAR SCENE

Then I remembered I hate love triangles. I knew that Layla still had strong feelings for Roth and that part of her would never go away no matter how hard he tried to push her away from him and vice versa.

HINT: THE BEDROOM SCENE.

She didn't quite know which direction to take.

Roth still had his bad boy charm (which I loved) but there is a much softer side of him that is displayed from the story. He and Zayne both have the same thing in common and that is Layla. Everyone one is trying to figure out the answer to the big question "Who will she be with?" As I said before, I can't decide.

(SIGHS) The ending. I turned to page on my kindle and when I saw it go to the Amazon page my jaw hit the floor. It could not end like that...it..just couldn't. I have to wait until the July of 2015 to get my hands on the next book.

Overall I loved reading Stone Cold Touch and all of it's goodness.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis: London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own? I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
