Blurb:
Can true love be forgotten?
As the only Scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.
Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.
As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.
Se why I am so excited! I cannot wait, as soon as I buy Dreamless I will be placing it straight towards the top of my reading pile!
The Release date In England is: 5th July 2012

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now.
My Review:
If you have seen the film then I tell you now the book is 100,000 times better. Because in the books you see more of characters as they truly come alive as they all have a battle of their own to defeat and Kates for her. I think that everybody should read this book because it shows you how lucky we are, as people without Cancer. Words cannot display how many tears I cried after this book!

Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people's survival hangs in the balance.
To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls' destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever
My Review:
A simply beautiful book! I loved every second of it! Malinda Lo is a amazing author and I would recommand her books to pretty much anybody. You are drawn in frim page 1 until the end because you want to find out what is going to happen, will Taisin and Kaede complete their task which the fairy queen has set them or will something happen along the way?

Unexpected. Unrequited. Forbidden. Eternal. Everyone has their own love story.
And in a twist of fate, four extraordinary love stories combine over the course of a romantic Valentine's Day in Medieval England. Miles and Shelby find love where they
least expect it. Roland learns a painful lesson about finding-and losing love. Arianne pays the price for a love so fierce it burns. And for the first -and last- time, Daniel and Luce
will spend a night together like none other.
Lauren Kate's FALLEN IN LOVE is filled with love stories . . . the ones everyone has been waiting for.
True love never says goodbye. .
My Review:
I loved this book, as it gives you an insight into not only Luce and Daniels past, but Rolands and Arriane's, it also almost shows you the future of Shelby and Miles. I read this book in a day because I couldn't put it down, but I would defo read this one before Rapture.

A beautiful sequel to the first book as Daniels and Luce's love becomes more intense, because of the move to shoreline but is there to shoreline than meets the eye? Could there to more to everything than more met Luces eyes? Lauren Kate is one of my Favorite authors and torment has not disappointed me in the slightest way possibel!

Some Angels are Destined to Fall
There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her
My Review:
I read this book ages ago but I was looking through my reviews and noticed it wasn't there so... I love this book and could read it over and over again because it is simply brilliant! I couldn't put it down and it one of my favorite books of all time! I picked this book and everything just went right! I think that would be the best way to put it!

Name: Ash
Author: Malinda Lo
Rating 4 out 5
Blurb:
In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.
My Review:
Ash is a beautiful written book and is a book I truly did enjoy but the only problem I found with it was that the first time I tried to read it I gave up and it wasn't until I went back to it that I really enjoyed it, Strange hey? But once I truly got into this book I could not put it down and it is now one of my favorites and Malinda Lo is a Smashing author who took a story which everybody knows and loves and changed it to a slightly different story with a brilliant ending and not one that you would think was going to come.
