Shawn is the guy Ronnie Bird promised her life to at the age
of fourteen. He's her soul mate. He's more uptight every day, but it's not his
fault. His family life is stressful, and she's adding to it. She just needs to
be more understanding, and he'll start to be the boy she fell in love with. She
won’t give up on someone she’s loved for so long.
Luke is her best friend, and the guy she hangs with to watch girlie movies in her large blanketopias. He's the guy she can confide in before she even goes to her girlfriends, and the guy who she's playing opposite in Romeo and Juliet. Now her chest flutters every time he gets too close. This is new. Is Ronnie falling for him? Or is Juliet? The lines are getting blurry, but leaving one guy for another is not something that a girl like Ronnie does.
Shawn’s outbursts are starting to give her bruises, and Luke’s heart breaks as Ronnie remains torn. While her thoughts and feelings swirl around the lines between friendship and forever, she’s about to lose them both.

Is Ronnie falling for him? Or is Juliet? The lines are getting blurry, but leaving one guy for another is not something that a girl like Ronnie does.
Shawn’s outbursts are starting to give her bruises, and Luke’s heart breaks as Ronnie remains torn. While her thoughts and feelings swirl around the lines between friendship and forever, she’s about to lose them both.
“He’s it for me, Luke.” …Luke’s face falls. “He can’t be. It can’t be possible for someone like him to get someone like you”
What if the person you were supposed to love and be with
forever, changed for the worst? This is exactly what happened to Ronnie. Shawn
and her are supposed to be together forever. She promised herself to Shawn when
she was 14, and now that she is about to graduate she can’t be more excited to
start the future with Shawn. But things don’t always work out how we plan…Shawn
is getting angry with Ronnie everyday over smaller and smaller things, the
first time he leaves a bruise Ronnie can’t believe he would hurt her and knows
he is sorry when he begs her for forgiveness. But as the bruises keep adding,
and Shawn’s temper keeps getting worst. Ronnie is starting to think maybe Luke
is right, maybe Shawn isn’t who he used to be…
Wow, and wow. Jolene Perry has officially become one of my
favorite authors; Knee Deep is yet another work of hers that has taken my
breath away! I am not a huge fan of novels that are on tough subjects such as
abuse, but Knee Deep I completely connected with and loved to pieces. Most of
the time when I hear about girls or woman that are in abusive relationship I
just don’t get what they are thinking or how they could stand to be with that
person. But while reading Knee Deep I completely understood where Ronnie was
coming from, and why trying to convince herself that Shawn is abusive was hard.
Jolene did an amazing job at making Knee Deep a powerful and moving novel on
abuse.
My favorite part about Knee Deep was easily, the emotions.
That may sound like a weird thing to like so much, but Knee Deep had so many
different emotions flying around from each character and Jolene did a
spectacular job at portraying each characters feelings. Never once did a
reaction seem too dramatic, or under played. Everytime Ronnie felt hurt it felt
real, it didn’t feel like you were just reading Ronnie’s story. While reading
Knee Deep you really feel Ronnie’s pain and struggle. Even when Luke gets hurt
or upset you can’t help, but feel sad for him. Every emotion in Knee Deep was
so real.
Another part of Knee Deep that I found myself loving was our
main character Ronnie. She went through SO much with Shawn, and although some
people may see her as weak. When it comes down to it, I think she is one of the
strongest characters I have ever seen. Not
only was she a strong character, she was also a great friend, and daughter.
Considering everything she went through and to still come out of it all so
strong, makes her an amazing main character in Knee Deep.
Altogether, Knee Deep was an amazing tough subject
contemporary novel. It will touch your
heart at some points, and completely crush it at another. This is a novel for
anyone looking for a novel of heart break, friendship, love, self-recovery, and
moving on.

Yes you read the title right!!! The second book in the Vampire Born series has gotten a makeover! Now if you have not read the first book in the Vampire Born series then you REALLY need to! OH and guess what? The first book in the Vampire Born series, Descended by Blood is FREE on kindle TODAY!!!! SOOO go get your copy HERE and read the amazing book! :D Now lets move onto the new cover!
Two guys who’ve stolen her heart.
Three races and only one of them worthy.
Countless enemies with insatiable bloodlust for power.
Will one girl's curse ultimately save her?
Half-vampire Brooke Keller barely survived the slaying of her worst enemy, only to learn that Zladislov—the world's most powerful vampire, leader of the vampire world, and her father—wants her dead. However, this time, she's not only fighting vampires but a raging monster within her that endangers what's left of her humanity. And when a deadly disease threatens to take her best friend's life, Brooke tries to convince Kaitlynn to accept a monster of her own: becoming a Zao Duh.
As a former slave to the Pijawikas, Mirko is driven to protect the innocent at all costs, but he has never faced a foe more formidable than Zladislov. And when the Commission bears down on Brooke, Mirko finds the stream of enemies runs deeper than he ever imagined.

Ahh I love it!! Blue is probably my favorite color so with all the diff shades of blue on this cover I really am drooling over here!!!! Along with the blue shades I love the font and I love love LOVE the background! Do you guys see that background?! It's gorgeous! I love the dark blue sky and the moon with the creepy black tree's it is just so beautiful! Now...one thing I do not like is Brooke...who is this girl on the cover?! I know she ain't my Brooke! In my mind Brooke doesn't have so much makeup on...or all her hair pushed over to one side causing a big poof like thing in the back of her head. This girl on the cover also looks much older than Brook is. But I do like her much more than the last girl on the previous cover for sure! (: Altogether even though Brooke doesn't look how I imagine her, this is still an awesome cover!
What do you guys think of the new cover?!:D

Going too far by Jennifer Echols
Read: Over a year ago! Back in April of 2011 (:

Ahh this is a few days late guys, I'm so sorry!!! I have been insanely busy the last few days ): But better late than never right? :/
Going too far by Jennifer Echols
Read: Over a year ago! Back in April of 2011 (:

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high
school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined
to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving
a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't
make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve
and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish
rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg
pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police
academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down,
they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....
Ahh this was my first Jennifer Echols read and WOW did I love it!!!! I am normally not a huge fan of contemporary novels, but this one just blew me out of the park. I couldn't put it down for the life of me! (: Reading this book really opened up my love for a good contemporary novel. I loved the characters, I loved the tension, I just loved this whole book!
