{Cover Reveal} Reaction by Jessica Roberts

Hey everyone!!
I'm not sure if you guys remember the cover for Reflection which came out in February...

Bright, spunky Heather Robbins has escaped her small hometown and is anxiously beginning her freshman year of college. Rising above her rocky childhood, she’s found a place where good things are finally starting to happen: her own private apartment, refreshing college classes, and an intense attachment to a mysterious and rugged classmate, Nick Richards.

But when her dreamy college life turns out to be nothing more than a wonderful dream while resting in a coma, questions threaten.

Now, Heather must press forward to unlock the real past, and find the answers buried deep in her mind. What she unlocks instead is a roller coaster ride through flashbacks, embellished memories, and a whirlwind romance.

And when it’s all over and she comes face to face with the truth, will she lose everything she’s fallen in love with?

...but Jessica Roberts has just released the cover of the sequel, Reaction.

Isn't it so pretty!!

Harmony…

I’ve previously had that in my life, but only once, briefly, a while ago. It was during the time I’d started my first year of college. My own apartment, a new old car, and a life free of deadbeat stepfathers, all of which was fulfilling enough. But if it wasn’t, I also had a best friend, soul mate, and boyfriend all in one. Yes, life was near perfect.

But one stormy night can change everything…

For many months I rested in a prolonged sleep, fighting for my life. Well, more than fighting for it, also dreaming of it. Dreaming of him. Thank goodness, the dream is over and I’m back in the real world now. And all I want is for everything to return to the way it was. But nothing’s the same; most of all, us.

Once again, I find myself at the crossroads of a ruthless battle, this time not for life, but love. Do I fight for the guy I twice fell for, or do I let her take him away?

My Review:

I was ecstatic when Shelley offered me a copy of Solid to me for an honest review. I've been dying to read this series since I learned about it a number of months ago and it most certainly didn't disappoint. She crafted an amazing story that kept me turning the pages.

How would you react if you found out you had been genetically altered and were asked to spend a summer at camp with others facing the same dilemma? You would probably want to know how different you are from other humans. Clio got more than she bargained for as she uncovers the mysteries surrounding the C9X program.

I loved all of the characters. You have your jock, the smartie, the queen bee, the one who can do it all, and the average girl. I love that every personality was covered by some character. The plot was well thought out and kept me intrigued. In the end, I didn't expect the big reveal. I was shocked but left with more questions. Solid kept a steady pace and picked up towards the end. 

Ovedrall, Solid was wonderfully executed and kept me in the midst of mystery until the very last page. I can't wait to read Settling. If you enjoy sci-fi, you are sure to love Solid.

Giveaway!

Shelley would love to offer one of my followers

{Cover Reveal} Miss Me Not by Tiffany King

Hey everyone!!
So I'm super excited to share with you the cover of Miss Me Not by Tiffany King.

This cover is gorgeous!

They had a pact.
Leave the world behind much as they had lived it.
No one would miss them. No harm, no foul.
Their personal demons would be left behind once and for all.
It was the only thing they could count on.
It was all she had.
Madison Hanson has spent the last four years being a "shadow." Her parents ignore her. The students at her school stopped talking to her years ago, and the majority of her teachers forget she's even there. In her desperate yearning to leave her invisible life behind, Madison makes a pact with her only friend, James Garrison, to end their lives as inconspicuously as they live them. No fuss, no muss. No one would miss her and she would miss no one. Their plan is set, and it's all she can count on. That is, until fellow student, Mitch Peterson, beats them to the punch. Everything Madison believed in is shaken to the core when she watches the aftermath of Mitch's death unfold. By taking his own life, Mitch unwittingly saves hers. What a selfish prick.
She is now left with the daunting task of living. Trying to bury her demons once and for all, and finally trusting someone with her fragile existence.
Living is hell.
Death would have been so much easier.
