<span style="font-size: large;"><i style="background-color: white;"><i>Trying to Score</i> is the second in the Assassin's Series by Toni Aleo. Her debut novel is <i>Taking Shots</i>.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Scheduled Release- April 30, 2012</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">However, this is what Toni has said on her blog. "<span style="font-family: 'century gothic'; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Taking Shots is 24 reviews (on amazon) from 100, when I reach 100, I will release Trying to Score on 4/23 which is 7 days early!!!!!!"</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Fallon Parker’s dream was to have her family’s wine company at the top of all wine magazines and to have a cellar of her own. After graduating from college, she has worked hard to make that dream a reality, even if that meant having a nonexistent love life. She had her chance at love and that was a bust, so she put everything into the wine company. After becoming the official sponsor of the Nashville Assassins, Fallon finally feels like everything is falling in place, that is until Lucas Brooks comes back into her life.</span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Lucas Brooks hates his life. He is lonely, he is sober, and he is angry. On the ice, when he’s not in the sin bin, he the leading scorer in the NHL but off the ice, he is a mess. He threw away the most important person in his life, and has regretted it ever since but when Lucas sees Fallon again after being traded to the Assassins; he is bound and determined to get her back. Even if she wants nothing to do with him. </span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">The sexual tension between Fallon and Lucas is electrifying as Lucas tries to convince Fallon that he is a changed man. Fallon tries to resist Lucas, but it is so hard when all her body wants is his. But when Lucas finds out that Fallon has been keeping a huge secret from him, the game he is playing stops and penalties are called. </span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">With new rules and new players on the ice, will Fallon and Lucas be able to work out their differences and work as a team or will they be left trying to score alone.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Being the good girl isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Ashton Gray has grown weary of playing the part to please her parents, and to be worthy of the town’s prince charming, Sawyer Vincent. Maybe That’s why she’s found herself spending time with Sawyer’s cousin, Beau, while he’s away for the summer camping with his family. Beau is nothing like her perfect boyfriend. He’s the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, dangerous in ways she’s only day dreamed about, and the one guy she should stay away from. </span></span><br>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Beau never envied Sawyer his loving parents, his big nice home, or his position as quarterback. He loves him like a brother. Which is why he's tried everything in his power to keep his distance from Sawyer’s girlfriend. Even if he has loved her since the age of five, Ashton is Sawyer’s girl, so therefore she’s off limits. But when Sawyer leaves for the summer, Ashton, the one girl Beau would move Heaven and Earth for, decides she wants to get into trouble. Stabbing the one person who’s always accepted him and stood by him in the back, is the cost of finally holding Ashton Gray in his arms. Is she worth losing his cousin over?.... Hell Yeah.</span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br></span><br>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even though the title is <i>The Vincent Boys</i>, this centers around Ashton trying to figure herself out. She grew up with Sawyer and Beau and the three were inseparable as youngsters. Now, as teens, Ashton is struggling with who she is viewed as versus who she really is. She knows that coming to terms with who she is and choosing a life of happiness for herself will undoubtedly cause pain for others. Will she choose to make herself happy or continue the act to keep those around her happy? Of course, there is some major reckoning coming for The Boys as well.</span><br>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Shea Adler... what can I say about Shea. He is a pro hockey player for the Nashville Assassin's. So you know he's fit but he's also sweet, caring, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">compassionate. He is just an all around plain good guy. He treats Ellie with the utmost care like the precious jewel she is. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> Now... he is not perfect but who wants a man that is... too hard to change him!! lol </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">At seventeen, Trinity McCabe has already made enough mistakes to fill a lifetime. Especially the one where she got high, drove a car, and almost killed a dog. And then let her friend Aidan take the blame.</span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">She’s clean now and desperate to fix the messes she’s made, but first she’s going to have to get out of her pajamas. </span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As Trinity struggles to stop sleepwalking through life, she faces the painful, tingling sensation of waking up. It’s sometimes embarrassing (she really didn’t want to have lunch with Aidan’s mom), sometimes terrifying (group therapy is beyond intimidating), and sometimes, amazingly enough, pretty romantic (who’d have though Aidan would be such a great kisser?)</span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Trin is lucky, though—luckier than she deserves, she’s sure—and she doesn’t travel this road alone. Her family, her therapist, and her new friends are all pulling for her. And it turns out, some of them have made pretty big mistakes, too. </span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But before she can embrace her new life completely, Trinity has to be forgiven by the one person who is holding out the hardest: herself. It’s not easy changing everything, especially when you don’t think you deserve a second chance. Trinity might make an even bigger mess of things before she figures that out. </span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When the smoke clears on her latest disaster, will anyone still be standing there?</span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This book is recommended for older/mature YA readers.</span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br></span><br>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This novel is not your typical YA good girl likes bad boy and yada, yada, yada. <i>Forgiving Trinity</i> is a hard hitting, deeply emotional look at a teen trying to piece her life back together after years of mistakes and bad choices.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Summer scatters three friends, ties them back together, and makes them question who they have been and who they want to be in the future.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Brenna expected to soak up the knowledge of great Irish writers at her summer workshop in Dublin. But there are some things even the best books can't teach you, and a passionate new friend and an old familiar full of surprises challenge Brenna to follow her heart. By the time she's back in the States, she can't wait to throw herself back into Jake's arms and tell him exactly what he means to her.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">She puts the brakes on that plan when it becomes clear that Jake may not be ready to shoulder any more. He visits his family's palatial home in the mountains of New York, and is exposed to all the possibilities a life surrounded by his pampered relatives and washed in money would hold for him. But is is possible to accept so much and not change who you are? Jake has to face the reality that changing sometimes means losing things...but how much is he willing to put on the line?</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Saxon has been thrust into a life of drudgery and indentured service he never dreamed of after a brush with the law puts him on family-enforced probation. Who would have thought Sussex County's resident bad-ass layabout would fall head-over-heels in love with a girl, an elderly aunt, and a shot at a whole new life. The problem is, he's a Maclean to his marrow, and it's in his blood to be a selfish screw-up. Isn't it?</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Brenna, Jake, and Saxon spend one summer growing up, working things out, and doing their best to weather the changes that get thrown their way. But can the love and friendships of one amazing summer last through the ups and downs of the coming years?</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Slow Twitch is book number three in the Brenna Blixen series. Book one is Double Clutch, and book two is Junk Miles. All books in this series are YA Mature. Slow Twitch contains sex, drug references, alcohol consumption, and swearing. It is intended for mature or older readers.</span></span><br />

As part of her blog tour for <i>Forgiving Trinity</i>, Liz Reinhardt agreed to do a guest post for me. First, let me give you a quick bio for her: Not only is she the author of <i>Forgiving Trinity,</i> she is also responsible for the Brenna Blixen trilogy. Those books are <i>Double Clutch, Junk Miles, </i>and the upcoming <i>Slow Twitch.</i> Stop back on Monday April 3rd for my review of <i>Forgiving Trinity.</i><br>
<i><br></i><br>
Now... she has me slightly frightened about what she's going to write about... let's see what she has to say...<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone. </span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter--her father--is in prison for murder. </span><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything’s on the line . . . streamline.</span> </span><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

This week, my book boyfriend is Caden Grayson from <i>Hearts in Darkness</i> by Laura Kaye. He's got that bad boy look. According to his girl, Makenna, he's "freaking gorgeous." But, don't let his appearance fool you. He is a compassionate, thoughtful, caring yet damaged individual.<br />

“And I thought you were gorgeous back then, Fallon Parker.”<br />Fallon froze.<br />She would forever know that velvet smooth voice anywhere. Fallon would always remember the way it sounded when he would lay her down on his bed before he would thoroughly make love to her or when he would console her when she was sad. It was the voice of the man that she had loved with a fierceness no one could touch. It was the same voice of the man that broke her into a billion pieces in a matter of seconds.</div>

<br />
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the
college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup. After two weeks
in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she’s single, attending a state
university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of
friends, stalked by her ex’s frat brother, and failing a class for the first
time in her life.</div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
Her econ professor gives her an email address for Landon,
the class tutor, who shows her that she’s still the same intelligent girl she’s
always been. As Jacqueline becomes interested in more from her tutor than a
better grade, his teasing responses make the feeling seem mutual. There’s just
one problem—their only interactions are through email.</div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
Meanwhile, a guy in her econ class proves his worth the
first night she meets him. Nothing like her popular ex or her brainy tutor,
Lucas sits on the back row, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. At a
downtown club, he disappears after several dances that leave her on fire. When
he asks if he can sketch her, alone in her room, she agrees—hoping for more.</div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: bold; margin: 0in;">
Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between
her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the
picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that
they’ve hooked up. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to
trust is anything but easy.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Today's excerpt comes from the first chapter, which occurs in the swimming pool---one of my favorite places! And I just came from the pool, where I watched the Grand Prix swim meet held by USA Swimming in Columbus, Ohio. I had the pleasure of witnessing Michael Phelps swim the fastest time in the world this year in the 200 Butterfly.</span>I had the pleasure of witnessing Michael Phelps swim the fastest time in the world this year in the 200 Butterfly.</div>

<br />Can you believe his physique? There were some<i> incredible </i>bodies littering the pool deck. I noticed many of the women have tiny breasts (like the heroine of <i>Streamline</i>, Audrey Rose). No wonder my substantial girls and I never achieved the Olympic level of competition when I swam in college!<br /><br />The hero of <i>Streamline</i>, Leo Scott, is about 10 years younger than Michael Phelps and nowhere near as accomplished. But he has big dreams nonetheless. And quite a few obstacles on the way to reaching those dreams.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
~*~</div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“You can do it, Leo,” Audrey whispered from the next lane.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
He turned to her and nodded as he adjusted his goggles and set himself ready on the wall. Leo felt confidence envelop him, and his focus narrowed to the now-calm water ahead. His teammates huddled near the lane lines to give him a clear path.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
He was the best swimmer on the team, a senior captain. This was <i>his</i> team, and he wouldn’t let them down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Clicking his stopwatch, Matt called, “Ready, hup!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Leo pushed off, elbows squeezing ears in a tight streamline. His legs burst into whitewater behind him, propelling him like a motorboat. His fingers extended at the top of the stroke, and his high elbows sculled the water beneath his body. Nothing extraneous, no wasted energy. Everything with purpose. The 100 freestyle was his specialty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
He swam down the length of the fifty-meter pool and quickly flip-turned to begin making his way back. He could hear the faint cheers of his teammates build as he approached. Fighting fatigue, he drove to the wall.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
When he lifted his head above the water, all he could hear were his sharp rasps for air. His teammates were silent as they waited to hear whether their tortuous practice was complete. </div>

Being a blogger can have many advantages. One can be a reason (or excuse) to be able to contact your favorite authors. While starting my blog, I contacted Toni Aleo (author of <i>Taking Shots</i> and the upcoming <i>Trying to Score</i>) for some information. Through that, I feel that I can safely say we have become friends. (yeah) Luckily, my family was stopping in Chattanooga, TN during our Spring Break trip so I was able to meet up with Toni and her friend Jackie at the March 8th Nashville Predators game. Oh my goodness, did we have an awesome time!!<br />

We ended up having seats right behind the Preds bench. Yes, we were this close *pinches fingers close together* to Toni's Shea Weber... not to mention the rest of the team. That's right... this photo was without zoom... we were this close!! *sigh*<br />

For those who have seen my reply to Toni's quest to have us all find our hockey crush... I discovered Craig Smith. (See previous post for more info. hehehe) Now for the sad part of the evening... keep in mind that I had traveled 700 miles to see this hockey match... After watching the Predators emerge from the tunnel for their pre-game warm ups... I noticed Craig wasn't on the ice. He was a scratch so he didn't play! :'( Talk about making a grown woman want to cry! However, there was a light at the end of this tunnel... we had started chatting with a Preds employee and he took sympathy upon me and my plight... He got me a personalized, autographed puck from Craig Smith!! :) Totally made my night!! Thank you Craig... and my knight in shining armor that got it for me (you know who you are)!<br />

YIPPEE! are you excited? Cause I am! hehe. I have saw how my favorite bloggers have put up little teasers of the books they are reading or reviewing, I have been caught so intrigued by these books they I have added them to my goodreads to be read later! So I decided to get y’all even more excited for Trying to Score by posting a little piece of the book for the next eight Mondays! Starting April 2, I will start revealing the Trying to Score Dream Cast with each post!</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To get y’all really pumped! hehe, I am going to pick one person from each Monday(or in this case Tuesday) that has commented and give them a signed book mark! At the end of the month (3/31/12), I will put everyone who posted through out the month into my random picker thingy and the winner will be given a $15 giftcard to Amazon or Barnes and Nobles!!! Same thing for April! I am so excited for this book, and I can’t wait to hear everyone’s comments! Okay on with the teaser! Hope you enjoy!</div>

Fallon wasn’t sure how the bottle of wine slipped from her hands, but the next thing she knew it was in pieces around her beautiful boots.

After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she’s left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be—perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he’s incredibly sexy. He’s everything she’s ever looked for in a man. What she <i>least</i> expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger.<br /><br />Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title—someday.

He’s finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he’s ever known, and before he knows it, he’s in love. But Veronica’s not having it—the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men—something that would make him <i>crazy</i>. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Read from February 05 to 06, 2012 — I own a copy</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He is Death and he's about to break all the rules. (Product Description)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have not been too much into the paranormal books. I love Twilight but then the whole vampire thing got over done and I stayed away from this genre... am I glad that Abbi Glines made me change my mind! (The absolutely awesome cover helped also!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here we have a good girl dating the quarterback but secretly dreams about the bad boy. Then, we have a bad boy who likes the good girl but tries to stay away from her by dating a bad girl. Sounds kinda cliche but this book is anything but.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First... so many people have talked about Death's name. Dank. It is short for Dankmar, which means famous for his spirit. I personally think this name fits him completely. Death is a unique guy so he obviously needs a unique name. He is compassionate, caring, and sensitive... not to mention totally hot! (I wish there were guys like him at my high school!)</span><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Existence-ebook/dp/B006LFVZ8E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1329488921&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I found Pagan to be very likable yet under-bearing. She tries so hard to be a 'normal' teen but how normal can you be when you see spirits. Then, one starts speaking to her... and as her world starts to change... she clings to what she believes is expected. She dates who she 'should.' She goes where her mother sends her without complaint. She just goes with the flow even if it's not what she wants or needs. She finally stops resisting her draw to Dank and everything starts fitting into place. </span><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Existence-ebook/dp/B006LFVZ8E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1329488921&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In the end, Dank must fight for Pagan and they both must make truly difficult and life altering decisions. Now, I admit the actual ending of the book made me say, "What?! I can't stop here!!" Thank goodness Predestined is due out April 3, 2012 so we don't have to wait too long to see what happens next.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Existence-ebook/dp/B006LFVZ8E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1329488921&sr=1-1" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As an author, I find Abbi Glines has an fantastic way with words. I have truly enjoyed every book of hers that I have read. I also love how she puts so many extras on her website. Dream casts, song lists, alternate POV's and much more. <a href="http://www.abbiglines.com/">http://www.abbiglines.com/</a></span><br />
