Review: Ruin by Rachel Van Dyken

Image
(Blurb): I'm not your typical girl. I've been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness...until Wes Michals offered to be my light. I didn't know that time wasn't my ally -- that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer--each moment as it came--but it would never be enough. Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Wes thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn't--I wouldn't ever be the same. And from that moment on, his heartbeat became my own.

A Little Bit About Me

Image
           I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself, first, before I begin posting things, so, here is a little bit about me! My name is Felicia and I am a new co-blogger for this site. Besides this, I am a student, a blogger, and a You Tuber. One of my main fascinations have always been with books and my main category of choice is YA (Young Adult) but I am usually pretty open to other options as I have indulged into some exceptional adult novels. Besides reading, I am working on my own novel (that I hope to publish one day) and I enjoy writing poetry, shopping, and learning about things that interest me. I especially love to build relationships with others and have become comfortable with having my "go-to" people in certain areas of life that I know I can shoot a quick email over to them and they will give me a thorough and honest answer. This has inspired me to be that same person to others, so, bel...

(Blurb): Seventeen-year-old Kari meets Neil Mars. “Neil as in Armstrong and Mars…as in Bruno.” A boy who beats every vampire, werewolf, highlander fantasy Kari has ever had.

But Kari doesn't know why Neil calls her his ‘Angel’ and when she finds out, she realizes what love is all about. Boundless joy, unending longing and a fuckload of heartache.
