Book Review: Infinity(bk1) by Jus Accardo

(I received this ARC copy by the publisher via Netgalley).
Goodreads Summary: There are three things Kori knows for sure about her life:

One: Her army general dad is insanely overprotective.

Two: The guy he sent to watch her, Cade, is way too good-looking.

Three: Everything she knew was a lie.

Now there are three things Kori never knew about her life:

One: There’s a device that allows her to jump dimensions.

Two: Cade’s got a lethal secret.

Three: Someone wants her dead.

I read Infinity in one sitting! It was fast paced from the beginning and I loved it. Infinity is about a teenager named Kori that has a knack for getting in trouble. Her father is in the military and has a high ranking not to mention he is very much over protective of Kori. Kori rebelliousness causes her father to put things into his hands and have two "supervisors" watch over her while he is gone away. In the mist of the two strangers and other dangers Kori's life gets complicated and things that she thought she knew about her life was not entirely correct.

I liked Kori's character. She has an extremely smart mouth and is very sarcastic. She didn't want anyone to pity her. She was strongwilled which was something that I really loved about her. Her personality didn't take any BS from anybody and she may have made some reckless decisions but her heart was always in the right place.

Cade and Noah are the two strangers that are sent to her by her father. They both have a story with Kori and they try desperately to hide their true feelings because of events that happened in their life. Dylan is a villain that you want to hate but you can't because in a nutshell...he is hurting. Not to justify is actions but that is pretty much it. Confession: He is my favorite type of villain.

The writing was so good. I read this in one sitting and I couldn't believe how much fast paced this was and not feeling rushed except for the ending. I was looking for a little bit more action with the ending but it was still good. The setting was very interesting. I loved the parallel worlds and jumping from different worlds. This is one of my favorite type of sci-fi books. I'm really looking forward to the next installment.

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 ...
