Title: The Forgotten Ones
Author: Laura Howard
Publication Date: April 30th, 2013

Goodreads Summary:
Allison O’Malley’s plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she’s been in love with for as long as she can remember.

What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison’s mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn’t trust her father, so why would she believe his stories about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan? But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother’s sanity

My Thoughts

I saw the cover for this and was like “ooh must read!” Deciding I better read the summary before committing to a tour I took a second to read it over and decided it was definitely worth a shot. Unlike some summaries, The Forgotten One’s left me with little clues as to what I was getting myself into.  It made me curious to see what this story was going to be about and I was pleasantly surprised. When secrets are involved I am always itching to figure out what they are. Me + Secrets = TELL ME NOW! I just had to know what was wrong with Allison’s mother, who Ethan was, and who the Tuatha de Danaan were.

Although, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Allison at the beginning of the book I did feel sorry for her. For a long time her mother hadn’t really been able to be there for her. Physically she was present but mentally her mother was mostly gone. Being diagnosed with Schizophrenia her mother needed lots of help and attention. Allison’s grandparents did a lot of the work but Allison wanted to be able to lift the burden from them and take over a lot of their tasks in helping her. That left Allison closed off from others. She just wanted to stay home and didn’t bond well with too many other people. Luckily she had a great support system, which I loved. Allison had family and friends who cared and although they really couldn’t fix anything that was great. I really liked how her cousin Nicole did her best to not let Allison stay at home too often. Of course, she should want to help with her mother but she is so young and shouldn’t have to take a burden like that on her own. Her grandparents were supportive of her getting out more and I thought they were sweet people. None of it could have been easy for them either.

Then there was Ethan, the so-called playboy, who obviously had a thing for Allison. Allison did her best to act indifferent but it was never a question that either of them were interested in each other. I loved to see Ethan’s flirty side and his truly sweet moments. The small moments you get with them (there weren’t enough) were often cute with them either taunting each other or Ethan just being being a sweetheart. I still need to get to know Allison more but I can say I really liked Ethan. I felt like I didn’t get enough time with them so I am hoping for more in the future.

Besides my slight disappointment at the short lived romantic connections (not so much a disappointment just feel teased lol) I though the Forgotten Ones was a pretty good read. It was straight to the point, leaving out the fluff that some books may have, and although I thought the story might have progressed too rapidly there was still some craziness and mystery. I have to say it was hardly long enough. I wanted more information on what was happening, why it was happening, what they were going to do about it. The book also ended pretty abruptly but with enough suspense and information to leave you wanted to read the sequel. With so much I still wanted out of it I felt like The Forgotten One’s was one big build up to the next one, where the story will really begin to mold itself potentially becoming great. It was a good start. I fell for some characters and Laura Howard definitely has me wanting to get to know a few more. She created an interesting story I am hoping to learn more about in the future.

Favorite Quote

“Something in your eye, Allison?” Ethan asked, seemingly amused at my attempt at indifference.I clenched my jaw and almost rolled my eyes again. “That must be it, Ethan.”
“Oh, come on. I know how bad you want to see me with my shirt off.”
I knew it didn’t warranted a response, but I never could keep my mouth shut when Ethan provoked me and he knew it.
“The entire female population of this town has seen you without a shirt on. Not that exciting.” – Pg.10

Today is Johnny’s Birthday and since he always makes jokes about Chuck Norris…

Happy Birthday Johnny!

Summary:

White as snow, stained with blood, her talons black as ebony…

In this retwisting of the classic Snow White tale, the daughter of an owl is forced into human shape by a wizard who’s come to guide her from her wintry tundra home down to the colorful world of men and Fae, and the father she’s never known. She struggles with her human shape and grieves for her dead mother—a mother whose past she must unravel if men and Fae are to live peacefully together.

Trapped in a Fae-made spell, Androw waits for the one who can free him. A boy raised to be king, he sought refuge from his abusive father in the Fae tales his mother spun. And when it was too much to bear, he ran away, dragging his anger and guilt with him, pursuing shadowy trails deep within the Dark Woods of the Fae, seeking the truth in tales, and salvation in the eyes of a snowy hare. But many years have passed since the snowy hare turned to woman and the woman winged away on the winds of a winter storm leaving Androw prisoner behind walls of his own making—a prison that will hold him forever unless the daughter of an owl can save him.

Excerpt:

Fire:

He was tall and as pale as the trees burned by cold and wind, blocking my view of the whitewashed sun above us in the winter sky. He led me away from the great snowy hillock that was my home, providing little warmth and few words. His face twisted strangely as he told me not to look back. I wasn’t used to a face like his, changing as a land of snow is blown about by wind and reformed. My mother’s face never changed. She covered me in thick down, fed me meals from her own stomach, and sheltered me with her wings. That was all I understood. I shivered without her, and my belly ached. I tried to flap my wings but the useless, heavy bones fell to my sides. I felt naked. The tree-like creature said he clothed me, but my feathers were gone and those strange, colored skins he draped over me offered little comfort. Nor was I used to my new legs. For a long time I hobbled and our journey was slow.

I never knew how I could understand him, just that I always had. He was there with my mother even before I was. She had told me so with a low, guttural purr of ease when he was near. Sometimes he would cling to her feathers as snow or whistle past us as a north wind. I had seen him in the strange walking-tree form before, but not often. And now my own body took that ungainly shape as well. I asked if he was my father, not that I cared for one. No, he told me, but he was taking me to him. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go, but I knew not how to return to the shape I’d been born in. Snow clung to our eyes and the odd, wiry feathers on our heads. I didn’t know what I looked like without looking at him. I didn’t know who I was, but he seemed to. So I followed him, bending my limbs the wrong way and folding the wingless stumps around my strange body for warmth.

Stone:

My father was King, and took his authority to extremes. I admired him despite myself, his strong features etched in bronze skin, his dark gray eyes deep-set and as cold and fathomless as the sea. His mind was a strong and straight arrow, pursuing life with a poison-tipped will. As a boy, I marked time by his long absences and sudden returns. When at home, he would tear through the keep, wild-eyed and roaring like a caged animal, and I would tremble as a bird in a storm. Mother would send me away with my nurse, keeping herself between us. It killed her in the end; his endless wars, his orderly indifference, his tyranny even at home in his mad pursuit of power. Though I, too, helped to sever her life short. They say she ceased to speak after I left. For at last my father discovered me growing into a man and set me in his sights. I knew I could never be what he wanted; a younger image of his mirror’s reflection. Nor could I bear to marry a foreign princess who might have had a heart akin to his. So began my solitary explorations of the forest, dreaming of the day I would walk away into its leafy embrace and disappear.

Perhaps I was also searching for the truth behind my mother’s tales. Fairy tales, some straight out of the annals of classic folklore, some loosed from the tightly wound spindle of her memories, ten, twenty generations old, passed down through the women of her family. Stories of the Fae. Of course I believed them as a boy. I was a young prince who cared nothing for castles nor riches if at the end of the day I could not find my mother’s arms, and her tales. Over time, though, I grew into reason. My mother’s face, bruised with the seal of my father’s massive ring, swam through my dreams as if to prove her every fable wrong. She was the heroine of her own story, the gentle maiden bound to a cruel king, and there would be no happy ending.

Fire:

I never had to speak with the tree-creature; he understood my thoughts and spoke in return with his own. He said he was not a walking tree, but a man. He said he changed me into my rightful form.

My rightful form? I pleaded with my eyes, how could that be?

He took my fragile thought, the perfect white egg from which I’d hatched, and crushed it with new words, “You were human before birth.” I thrust at him the memory of mother; her eyes like the centers of pasque flowers, her beetle-black beak, her white plumage soft as a fog-bathed moon, her talons dripping with blood for me. This he handled more carefully. “She was your mother, and always will be. But she was more. She was what she wanted to be. And when she left with you, she was a beautiful snowy owl, so that is what you became.”

But where did we leave from and why? Why wasn’t my father with her so that she wouldn’t have to hunt so endlessly until her death? Where was he? But for these questions, I only got an answer I couldn’t accept; he was a man, he could not come. Wasn’t this tree-creature a man as well? And he had been with my mother always.

As we fell in elevation the wind held back, allowing the sun to warm my thin skin. I wanted to stop. The world was getting stranger with every step and I missed the familiar cold, even though my new form was ill-suited to it. My companion waited for me patiently. He knew how little I understood. There was something in his eyes he wouldn’t yet explain. So I turned away, standing alone and broken at the foot of a mountain as the last of the snow blew into my eyes, melting into tears.

Summary:

Once a zombie, always a zombie?

Dave and Sarah are pretty happy in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Montana. They’ve done their part in saving the world (kind of) and now they’re settling in for a long life of killing straggler zombies. Well, they think that’s what they’re doing until a helicopter lands on their front lawn with old friends Nicole Nessing and Robbie “The Kid” on board. They propose a dangerous plan: Dave and Sarah must return to Seattle and use Dave’s Superpowers to help with the final stages of a formula that will not only wipe out most of the zombies, but innocluate humans against the virus.

Going back to Seattle was never in the plan. Especially since Sarah has a few secrets of her own that could change her marriage, increase the danger they’re facing and even alter the future they’re so desperately trying to save.

About the Author:

Jesse’s life as a writer began when her husband made the brilliant observation that she was much happier writing than doing anything else. So she took the plunge and decided to do that full-time. After many years and many books in different sub-genres, she was bitten by the zombie bug (not a zombie, but the bug) and took off on a zany adventure into the world of Urban Fantasy. Soon zombies were not enough and now she is poised to take over the world with her not-so-normal paranormal stories which inject dark humor into uncommon circumstances.

When not coming up with stories about the weird and wonderful she lives in Tucson, AZ, with her high school sweetheart husband and two cats. She plays video games, hangs out with her favorite nephews, hikes in the beautiful mountains, watches wayyyyy too much reality TV (and some really good scripted TV), ponders all things geekish and madly scribbles notes on her next idea while she laughs at people who still have to shovel snow.

Oh and from time to time she even writes, which is still what she likes to do best. She loves chatting with fans of her stories and lovers of geeky things.

Goodreads Summary
In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch–a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood–or else she might be next.

I couldn’t get enough of Richelle Meads Vampire Academy series and I am just as obsessed with this series (the spinoff). I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next with everybody. I just see the series getting better and better.

Goodreads Summary
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.

After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

Did you read Pandemonium!?! Of course I can’t wait to read this one. I must know what happens next!

Goodreads Summary
Plenty of teenagers feel invisible. Fiona McClean actually is.

An invisible girl is a priceless weapon. Fiona’s own father has been forcing her to do his dirty work for years—everything from spying on people to stealing cars to breaking into bank vaults.

After sixteen years, Fiona’s had enough. She and her mother flee to a small town, and for the first time in her life, Fiona feels like a normal life is within reach. But Fiona’s father isn’t giving up that easily.

Of course, he should know better than anyone: never underestimate an invisible girl.

She is invisible! That alone just makes me want to read this book.

Goodreads Summary
Rory Miller had one chance to fight back and she took it. Rory survived… and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter the witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as a goodbye.

Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but now they can barely stand each other. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?

I’ve only read some of her Private series but what I have read was enjoyable and full of surprises. Shadowlands sounds like another great mystery. Plus I love the cover

Goodreads Summary
How much is too much to love?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire’s New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.

Beautiful Disaster was one of my favorite books read in 2012. I couldn’t put it down and I am so excited to get to read the story all over again but in Travis POV. Can’t wait to get to know even more about him.

Goodreads Summary

 Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another….

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it’s about time: The male has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young—just as Qhuinn has always wanted for himself. It’s hard to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. As he’s learned firsthand.

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions… but as the battle over the race’s throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn finally learns the true definition of courage, and two hearts who are meant to be together… finally become one.

All Ihave to say is it is about damn time! I have been waiting for this book since I read the 6th book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series! These two better have some steamy moments together otherwise I will give up on this series, even though it is one of my favorites!

Goodreads Summary

The hotly-anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller The Selection.

Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.

America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.

Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

Sign me up! I enjoyed The Selection far more than I thought I would and it was pretty close to making my top ten for 2012. I can’t wait to see what happens in this book with Prince Maxon, the rebels, and America’s love of two guys that I can’t possibly decide between.

Goodreads Summary

He makes good girls…bad.

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big, red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions deeply buried.

Um hello Dante! This boy sounds like the exact bad boy with a good heart that we are always looking for in the YA genre. Plus it sounds like the story is told from his POV, which male POVs are rare in YA, so I couldn’t be more excited for this one if I tried.

Goodreads Summary

When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly realizes there’s more to it than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia senses a dark and powerful magic at work in her new town. Mateo has lived in Captive’s Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is cursed – and that curse will cause him to believe he’s seeing the future … until it drives him mad. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl—Nadia—from a car accident come true, he knows he’s doomed.

Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his family’s terrible curse, and to prevent a disaster that threatens the lives of everyone around them.

I really enjoyed the Evernight Series that Gray wrote so I can’t wait for this newest book about witches. For some reason I think I’m really feeling a witch trend for 2013 and hope to read more books about them.

Goodreads Summary

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.

I LOVE books about different Gods/Goddess! Plus I think this topic is starting to take off in the YA genre and I love that. I always want to see an author’s take on mythology and with Blake’s slightly haunted writing style I can’t wait to see her take.

My Top Books Of 2012

I can not believe the year is almost over! Yes, I am going to keep repeating that until the new year finally arrives but it’s true I really can’t. It just flew by but at least I was able to get quite a bit of reading done. I was over my Goodreads goal of 70 books and I read some pretty great ones this year. Here is a list of some of my favorites in no particular order.

*Pictures Link to my review or their Goodreads page

I got to read this over the summer and loved it. It was quite an adventure and I really loved the characters.

I devoured this book and I just can’t wait for the next one!

Actually the first three books are amazing. I’ve loved them all so far and I really need to read more of the series.

I started the series last year during my winter break and got to finish the last few books at the very beginning of this year. I loved this series. It has to be one of my favorites. Alexa started the series and you can read her reviews for Vampire Academy here and Frostbite here.

I thought this book was really different and I loved that. I still can’t imagine having to live the life Eva (the main character) had to live.

Technically this book doesn’t come out until 2013 (Jan. 1st) but I was lucky enough to get to read it very recently and I loved it. I couldn’t help but add it to this list. I should have a review up in January with more thoughts

Hello Everyone

So has you may or may not have seen the blog has been lacking a little lately in some of our regular posts such as Sunday Snapshots for example. I also haven’t been around much to comment on all your lovely blogs. This is because I, Alexa, have too much going on right now with school to pay attention to the blog. I also know Bianca is very busy and we have both been working hard to keep the blog as up to date as we can.

I’m speaking for myself when I say for the next 2 weeks I wouldn’t expect to see me around very much. I have 7 finals in the next two weeks so I’m busy studying for all 7 of those finals.

I thank you all for sticking around to read what we have to say and I do have several reviews and a tour scheduled in the next two weeks so be sure to keep your eyes open for those awesome reviews but until then I will see you all on the other side of finals!

December 14th is my last day of finals, see you all after that!
