Waiting On Wednesday (66): Descendant by Lesley Livingston

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you have a chance to let other know what you can’t wait to claim as your own.

The last thing Mason Starling remembers is the train crossing a bridge. An explosion . . . a blinding light . . . then darkness. Now she is alone, stranded in Asgard—the realm of Norse legend—and the only way for her to get home is to find the Spear of Odin, a powerful relic left behind by vanished gods. 

The Fennrys Wolf knows all about Asgard. He was once trapped there. And he’ll do whatever it takes to find the girl who’s stolen his heart and bring her back—even if it means a treacherous descent into the Underworld. But time is running out, and Fenn knows something Mason doesn’t: If she takes up the Spear, she’ll set in motion a terrible prophecy. And she won’t just return to her world . . . she’ll destroy it.

In this pulse-pounding sequel to Starling, Lesley Livingston delivers another electrifying blend of nonstop action and undeniable romance that will leave readers breathless.
Why I need this: The ending of Stalring was a KILLER!! I am not kidding. I think I need to change my blog to Books Killed The Tater: A Zombie blogging in a YA world or something like that!! Seriously She killed me! I NEED this book, need it to bring me back to life and need it to make me whole again!! Plus you make that Fennrys naked again and that is sure to wake me up!! I want it and need it!! How is everything going to get fixed!! UGH!!! Just gimmie!!!

Waiting On Wednesday (65): Project Cain by Geoffrey Giard

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you have a chance to let other know what you can’t wait to claim as your own.

Fifteen-year-old Jeff Jacobson had never heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, the infamous serial killer who brutally murdered seventeen people more than twenty years ago. But Jeff’s life changes forever when the man he’d thought was his father hands him a government file telling him he was constructed in a laboratory only seven years ago, part of a top-secret government cloning experiment called ‘Project CAIN’.

There, he was created entirely from Jeffrey Dahmer’s DNA. There are others like Jeff—those genetically engineered directly from the most notorious murderers of all time: The Son of Sam, The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy . . . even other Jeffrey Dahmer clones. Some raised, like Jeff, in caring family environments; others within homes that mimicked the horrific early lives of the men they were created from.

When the most dangerous boys are set free by the geneticist who created them, the summer of killing begins. Worse, these same teens now hold a secret weapon even more dangerous than the terrible evil they carry within. Only Jeff can help track the clones down before it’s too late. But will he catch the ‘monsters’ before becoming one himself?
Why I need this: HELLO TOTALLY AWESOME IDEA!!!! This just sounds like a great ride! I mean really!! All the history that can come out of this! It just ignites all these feels of how awesome this will be!!! And how sexy is the name Cain.  I know its not the MC name, but still!

Never, ever cry. . . . Eureka Boudreaux's mother drilled that rule into her daughter years ago. But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn't, who tells Eureka she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before.

But Ander doesn't know Eureka's darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance—a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander might be telling the truth . . . and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever imagined. From Lauren Kate comes an epic saga of heart-stopping romance, devastating secrets, and dark magic . . . a world where everything you love can be washed away.
Why I need this: You know that feeling you get, when the tears are right there and the world stops in that moment on the brink of total heart break? I hope I get that feeling from this book!! This cover is just wow! And I can't wait to get this puppy!!!

Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins Blog Tour: Kaidan Rowe Interview & Giveaway

by Wendy Higgins
Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?
OK so I hope everyone knows, that I'm just about to bust open, I am so filled with excitement I can't contain myself!!! I am so lucky to have the one and only Kaidan Rowe here for the infamous Tater interview.  And what better person to have than one just as naughty as myself!!! So without making you wait any longer (and lets face it, I know you all just skipped over all this and went right to the naked question) here we go...

Hey sweetness, how are you doing today??
Much better now that you’re here, Tara.

Oh baby! I'm so ready to grill you! So let’s get started. Please butter yourself up and hop on my grill.
*Raises eyebrows and grins*
And by grill, I mean my lap, the only proper place for my guest to sit while I heat the room up!

First question sugar: If you could sit in with any band or drummer for a jam session, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Travis Barker. I’m not ashamed to say I have a man-crush.
I'll bet its all the tattoos, but the man does have mad skills!

Why the drums? I figured as a lust magnet that you would have more success as a lead singer, not many ladies really love the drummers?
Ha, luv, that’s where you’re wrong. The drummers are the mysterious ones.
Oh don't I know it. Although for me, I like ALL members of the band, The lead singer knows how to melt a girl with just words, the guitarist and bassist have mad skills with their fingers and lets just say I'm sure the drummers know how to bang!

What drumming riff tickles your fancy?
Don’t laugh, but I’m incredibly fond of the riff in Wild Thing. It’s sexy in the most basic way. I warm up to it before every gig and practice.

And here I was hoping you were gonna say Hot for Teacher, so I could be all naughty teacher in the 80's!

Describe yourself in 3 words.
Your wildest dream.
Oh don't I flippin know it!

Tell me something about you that we don’t learn from the books?
I have quite a large...shoe size. Big feet, and all. Hm, what else? Okay, my father originally wanted me to take the boy band route (to have more access to innocents). Can you see it? Thankfully I won that battle, but every time I hear One Direction I have to chuckle.
As much as I don't like to admit I was an NSync fan, I have to say good for you for resisting that rout!

Describe the perfect day. Who would you be with and what would you do?
One particular girl comes to mind. And one particular activity. *clears throat* Next question please.

If you could have one wish, no questions, what would it be and why?
For my father and the other Dukes and whispering demons to be gone. Why? Because they’re evil bastards, even by my low standards.

What is something that baffles you?
Kitchen appliances. I’m convinced you need particular magical abilities to work them.
Yea but have you ever used a Keurig?? Seriously, I can't live without one!

Randomness:
Red vines or Twizlers? Red Vines (Really good anwser, cuz this one is a right or wrong one!)
Sweet or salty? Salty
Coke or Pepsi? Neither. No soda.
City, Beach or Mountains? Beach
Burger or steak? Both
Day or night? Night
Would you please get naked? I already am. ;) *creams*
Brown, Green or Blue eyes? Brown (a recent preference)
Blonde, Brunette or Red Head? Yes, please
Favorite Place? Between the sheets. (What? We all have to sleep.) (I agree, nothing like the feeling of rubbing your freshly shave legs between some cool clean sheets! It's heaven!)
Cat or Dog? Dogs. Cats are evil. Like miniature Dukes with tails.
Coffee or Tea? Coffee
Snow or rain? Rain

Soda or Juice? Juice

Twitter or Facebook? Twitter
Ghost or Zombies? Zombies. I’m over spirits of any type.
You know Kai, you and me could be wonderful friends!!!

And lastly, my favorite way to finish my interviews, can I get a kiss from ya??
Yes. The answer is always yes. Come here, luv...
*Runs away with Kai to play 7 mins in heaven* And as always you taste like key lime pie, my favorite
Thank you Kaidan, its always a real pleasure to have you here.

Waiting On Wednesday (62): Alienated by Melissa Landers

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine where you have a chance to let other know what you can’t wait to claim as your own.

Expected publication: February 4th 2014 by Disney Hyperion
Interplanetary relations have never been more exciting! The first in a funny, romantic YA sci-fi series.

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them. 

Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class. 

Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her plane.
Why I need this: I officially think I might die before this book is released.  The amount of anticipation that is running though my vines is going to take over my body and kill me.  This book sounds BEYOND ACA-AMAZING, TOTALY AWESOME AND SUPER EPIC!!!! UGH!!! In the mean time, I am just going to print out this cover and take it to bed. That boy is YUMMIE!!! RAWR!!!

What are you waiting on?

Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Anaya, Heaven’s beautiful reaper, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn’t like the others. She’s dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.

Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire she recognized part of Cash’s soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash’s soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker—a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.

The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don’t belong, can Cash make it out alive?
Why I need this: I have always LOVED every book that my super hero counter part puts out! I love Tara for more than the fact she is rocking a totally awesome name! And I totally enjoyed Inbetween and think that Cash and Anaya's story is going to blow it out of the water!! AND AND AND!! This means that I am one step closer to getting more EASTON!!!!!! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!

What are you waiting on?
