Joclyn Despain has been marred by a brand on her skin. She doesn't know why the mark appeared on her neck, but she doesn't want anyone to see it, including her best friend Ryland, who knows everything else about her. The scar is the reason she hides herself behind baggy clothes, and won't let the idea of kissing Ryland enter her mind, no matter how much she wants to.
The scar is the reason she is being hunted.

If only she knew that she was.

If only she had known that the cursed stone her estranged father sent for her 16th birthday would trigger a change in her. Now, she is being stalked by a tall blonde man, and is miraculously throwing her high school bully ten feet in the air.

Joclyn attempts to find some answers and the courage to follow her heart. When Ryland finds her scar; only he knows what it means, and who will kill her because of it.

I was still in Ilyan’s bed, still in Ilyan’s rooms. I felt uncomfortable and scared. I shouldn’t be here. Not only was he some sort of leader in this place, he was awfully friendly.

{Review} The Devil's Triangle by Toni De Palma

When 17 year old Cooper dies in an attempt to burn down his school, he finds himself in the afterlife. Lucy, the Devil's sister who has crossed party lines, decides to give Cooper another shot at heaven. The deal? Cooper returns to Earth and has to find a girl named Grace. The rest is up to him.

While Cooper figures out his mission, he's thrown into the life he's always wanted. Great parents, a spot on the Varsity football team and a real future are all within reach. But what he really wants is Grace, a feisty girl with an abusive boyfriend who can pound Cooper into pulp if he doesn't watch out.

While Lucy plays demonic-puppeteer, clues to an unknown past between Cooper and Grace start to unravel. Cooper discovers that what's keeping him and Grace apart is far more sinister than anything this bad boy could have ever imagined.

I was really looking forward to reading The Devil's Triangle, but sadly it fell flat for me. It sounded like it was going to be an enticing read, but it didn't hold my attention like I'd hoped it would.

Cooper just died, but now he's given a second chance to redeem himself. His mission: to find and save Grace. What he doesn't know is what exactly he is saving her from and how he's going to complete his task.

The big game players in The Devil's Triangle were Cooper, Grace, and Blake. Of these three, Blake was by far my favorite. I feel like he had this insecure obsession surrounding his relationship with Grace and I thought it was funny whenever he put Cooper in a headlock to deter his communication with Grace. As for Grace, I feel like she took a backseat throughout the story. We see her through Coopers eyes, but we don't have a ton of contact with her. 

I'm not really sure what to say about The Devil's Triangle. It really just didn't hold my attention and I frequently found my mind wandering to my daily life, TV shows and other books. I felt somewhat lost while reading, which could be due to my inability to focus. This caused me to frequently put the book down. While the story didn't capture my attention, I did like that it was written from Cooper and only Cooper's point of view. Had any of it been from Grace's eyes, I don't think the overall impact would have been the same.

Overall, The Devil's Triangle was an okay read, but I found difficulty in paying attention and staying immersed in the story.While this book wasn't for me, you may enjoy it. 

FTC Disclosure:  I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion.  

I can't catch a break!

Hello!

So I don't know if it is due to the weather on the east coast right now or what, but I'm having internet issues. I'm not sure how many posts you will see until this issue is fixed, but I will be posting a rafflecopter for March Comments soon. I haven't been able to log on to their website to set one up. Also, because of the inability to log on, I haven't had a chance to pick winners for the February Comment Contest or the New Adult Giveaway Hop. As soon as I do pick winners I will let you know!
