Mini Review: The Eslites by C. M. Doporto

Title: The Eslites
Series: The Eslite Chronicles  #0.5
Author: C. M. Doporto
Pages: 20
Date Published: January 1st 2013

Can Miranda save the Eslites?
When an advanced alien species invades Earth, it negotiates an agreement with the world’s leaders to provide cures for various human diseases in exchange for a generation of young women. Detained in an otherworldly facility named Nidus, sixteen-year-old Miranda Mays is designated a superior donor and must submit to risky egg extractions, which the Eslites fertilize in a last-ditch, desperate attempt to reproduce. While Miranda is more than willing to help the aliens survive, she soon wonders if there is more to their story.

Teen/YA Sci-Fi with romantic elements
Age 12 and up

*I received a free copy from the author in Exchange for an honest review*

Although this e book was only 20 pages long it is so well written that it accomplished what I think prequel novellas should accomplish: show you a little bit of the world and the characters and leave you wanting for more. 

I seriously can’t wait to know more about Miranda and the Eslites.

Waiting on Wednesday (24)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is:

Title: The Rules for Breaking

Series: The Rules for Disappearing 

Author: Ashley Elston

Pages:230

Expected publication: May 20th 2014

Anna Boyd almost lost her life to get what she wanted most in the world: freedom.

But just when it seems that her family has finally escaped Witness Protection, the illusion that Anna could resume a normal life comes crashing down.

The deadly man Anna knows as Thomas is still on the loose, and now he's using her as a pawn in a dangerous game with the drug cartel determined to silence her forever. When Thomas and a mysterious masked man capture not only Anna but also her fragile younger sister and her boyfriend, Anna decides it's time to break all the rules-even if it means teaming up with the lesser of two evils.

Anna will do whatever it takes to protect the people she loves and win her life back once and for all. But her true enemies are hidden in plain sight. Before long, Anna will learn that putting her trust in anyone may be the last mistake she ever makes.

I was a bit reluctant to read the first book since the premise didn't sound appealing but after reading it I was blown away so here I am now patiently waitingfor the second one.

This week is Top Ten most unique books I've ever read.

Waiting on Wednesday (23)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is:

Title: The Forever Song
Series: Blood of Eden #3
Author: Julie Kagawa 
Pages: 416
Expected publication: April 15th 2014 

VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS 

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster? 

With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer. 

MONSTER 

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie. 

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.

This series is amazing, it hasvampires in a post apocalyptic setting, a kick ass heroine, two amazing vampire men, a great love interest and absolutely no love triangles! I'm sad thatit's going to end but I can't wait to see what Julie Kagawa writes next.

TBR Pile Reading Challenge March Wrap-up

March was a tough month for me most of the books I picked failed to keep my interest so the whole month reading felt more like a chore than somethin I do for fun.

The Clique series has been on my read pile since I was 14 so I'm glad that they've finally read them.

For March I read 17 books making my overall total 39 books out 50 that I challenged myself to read.
