Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Tucholke

Hey everyone, just finished reading Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Preordered this book only for it to come in the next day, had to laugh at that, and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I've been trying to read new books, or at lease start new series lately, because to be honest the series I have been reading are getting too long, suck now, or aren't coming out until 2014. Bleh.
So any way, this was an interesting read, because the characters were different, and the plots were all very unexpected.

 We meet Violet, who for the longest time I swore was named Anna, no clue why. But anyway! We meet her and her brother Luke, who live in a very large house that once belonged to their grandmother Freddie, because their parents were across seas painting, or something. Freddie died a long time ago, and the twins are running out of money.
So Violet puts the guest cabin up for rent, and River West, a mysterious boy from out of town rents the guest room.
But as soon as he moves in strange things start to happen. People in town are seeing things they shouldn't and River doesn't seem to be all he seems. When her brother starts to go crazy she starts to question River, who somehow managed to get her to sleep beside him, not with him, even though she hasn't known him for a week. 
Follow her on her path to find the truth, and free herself from his spell. But he isn't the biggest threat to the town. Someone else is killing people off in sinister ways, and it may or may not be him losing control.

 Sorry, that is all I can offer you on the book because I read it over a course of three weeks. I have been busy with work and stuff, so I thought I would give you what I could on the subject.
In the end I would give it a 3 out of 5 stars. It is a new book, and I would recommend giving it a try.
The writing was really nice, and the characters were well developed. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the sudden changes. It would be totally normal one minute and the next they would be throwing you into something you didn't even think the book would be about. It was okay, but too sudden for my liking.
Check it out if you get the chance. Have a great day!

 Also, to read the rest of my blog and the other many books I have written reviews about check out the link and drop me a line. I would LOVE to hear your opinions and maybe suggest a few other books. 
No one has commented on any of my posts yet, so it would mean a lot.

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

The World Below by Mike Phillips

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
