*****

Soooo, this time I decided to to a list of the best of the best I read this year, I already did my best  bloggers of 2012, (Read above LOL) so now here are my lists.

 

The Lux series is by far one of the best series I´ve had the pleasure to read, one book after another, there´s amazing writting, world building, great characters a fantabulous plot and it has my number one book boyfriend of all times.

 

 This series is really close to my heart, not only the writting is sheer perfection but I love this author so very much. This is a finished series that had my toes curling on many, many ocations and had my devoted attention, no matter what I was reading or doing; if a new book was published I drooped everything to read this.

 

 Yes, I know Ii have two series from the same author, nut can you really blame me?? it´s JLA what where you expecting??? she is an amazing story teller and it´s only natural that I adore every single book she writes. This series has lots of action

 

Do I need to say why???, this series is original, fresh and so cool that the first book comes out as a movie next year. The author created anamazing world, I was hooked since book one, I love the characters and I promise to be the first one on the line for the movie premier =D

 

whant to know why I love this one??? well all I can say is Kale!!!! yumm, yumm and also is a freaking amazing series. I love the characters, I love the plot, the writting style is superb, full of action and very romantic.

  This series is fanfreakingtastic, if you love PNR and UF this is the series for you it has everything, wiches, demons, hellhounds it´s very well written and executed. The Author created an amazing world within our own that trapped me from the get go.

 

 

 

This book made me cry like a baby, there where parts of the story that broke my heart apart and I sobbed an everything. I don´t think there is enough praise that can slightly put into words how good this book is.
 

This book is amazingly well written, the Author has a terrific way to show you the world everything is set into; you submerge in the story so easily due to the descriptiveness without being sofocated by it.

In one word it was perfect, well accomplished and heart shaterring, that, by the type of story I guess was the main goal.

 

 

Guys this book is full of adrenaline, gritty, fast paced, it builds anticipation and has your emotions running at 100000 per hour. The suspense drived me to the edge time and time again.
 

 

I love Lisa´s writting style and her world building, the plot is 100% perfect and sure as hell Lisa knows how to make all her female readers fall head over hells with her characters.

 

 

.

It was impossible for me to pick just one cover so here are the 10 covers I liked the most this year. some I liked for the colors other cause it truly showed what the book was about, the one thing I did noticed is that many of the cover where created by Regina Wamba from Mae I design

 

 

 

 

This year I found three authors that won the Best of the Best statuson my blog and my heart.

If you guys haven´t heard from them you should start stalking them now!!!

 

Jennifer L. Armentrout
Author of the Covenant Series and the Lux series among others

 

H.D. Gordon
Author of the Alexa Montgomery Saga

 

Jus Accardo

Author of the Denazen Series

 

 

 

 

Here is a list of my top six book boyfriends, this guys all have unique qualities that on my book makes them perfect, at least for me =D

 

Aiden

 

this guy with his dreamy eyes and his attitude had me drooling over him like 90% of the book. I have to come clean here and say that I was Team Seth but not anymore, cause now I know that there can´t be no one better for Alex than Aiden.

 

Chad

Chad is my kind of guy, bad boy, with a sinful body, totally sexy and he knows it and owns it. He´s also the super star pitcher for Nationals; he just have one problem, he doesn´t know how to play by the rules, ohh and he’s a self-centered arss… did I say one problem??? .. I meant two LOL!!!

 

Daemon

 Daemon is and will always be my #1 book crush I love his snark, witty, sexy overbearing attitude, but smexy, lovable, flirty, romantic Daemon, OMG!!! I couldn´t even think and I totally understand why Katy was a drooling mess during the book, I would be too.

 

Kale

 Kale is so cute, adorable and innocent that is completly HAWT , I don´t know how Dez do it,I would turn into pudding just looking at his eyes. He has an amazing body and a deep voice (in my head he does LOL) did I mention the killer touch???

 

Kayden

 Kayden sweet, sexy, powerful, lovable, one of a kind warrior; he´s as always, the person/character that I would like to stand beside me in battle, cause if Kayden, the Libra, the Brocken, stands beside you; you know you are standing up for something worth fighting for.

 

Reid

 OMFG who would have thoutgh that an MMA fighter could be so hawt, delicious, sexy, drop dead gorgeous… *breaths in breaths out* He really is HAWT. *fans herself*

What I liked the most was the fact that even though Reid has this whole bad guy attitude and looks going on, he truly is one of a kind, he is completly trust worthy, dependable, romantic and super, super sweet.

 

 

Without a doubt it was

 

 

Redemption as a series finale is in one word PERFECT!!!, there´s no other way to describe it, it´s just perfect. H.D. Gordon somehow manages to make you fly as high as the moon one page and makes you beg for mercy while tearing you to shreds on the next.

 

Redemption is the kind of book that will be on my mind for time and time to come

 

 

 

It doesn´t need explanation, it involves Daemon Black!!!

 

  

“Time seemed to slow, every second stretching out before me, tantalizing and torturing every breath I took. Waiting, wanting to show him whatever he was looking for as his eyes darkened to a deep green. His face strained, as if he were waging an internal battle. Something in his eyes made me feel very unsure.

I knew the second he made up his mind. He took a deep breath and his beautiful eyes closed. I felt his breath against my cheek, slowly moving to my lips. I knew I should pull back. He was bad, bad news. But my own breath caught in my throat. His lips were so close to mine, I desperately wanted to meet him halfway, to rush forward to test if his lips were as pillow soft as they looked.

“Hey guys!” Dee called out”  

 

"Magnificent, beautiful emotion exploded in me when our lips touched, and I was surprised when I felt my desperateness matched by his. His strong arms wrapped around me so tightly that it may have been painful if not for the circumstances. And, everything, all of me, all of the things that made me who I am, came slamming back into me with so much force that I felt as though the rain falling over me was sizzling off my skin.

 I’m not sure how long it lasted, but I was keenly aware of how soft his lips felt against mine; how right. And I didn’t let him go until I felt my monster settle back down inside of me, defeated, and yielding to the embrace of my Libra; my Kayden.

But, when I tried to pull back, Kayden didn’t let me. His hands found my face and kept my lips where they were, pressed perfectly against his. I didn’t resist, for whatever reason, right then, he seemed to need me just as much as I needed him.

When the fire finally eased between us, we lingered there, in each other’s arms, and for the first time all day I was grateful for the rain, because a tear somehow escaped my eye, and flowed down my already wet cheek."

 

 

 

 

"No. Please, no. Please, be a coincidence. He could´ve choked on his gum. But he brought his hand upto his throat. He couldn´t breathe. His hand reached for his chest. I watched the life drain out of his eyes, knowing I was the cause of it,"

 

Post Apocalypse  YA Dystopian

 

 

In a desperate attempt to escape destruction decades earlier, humankind was forced underground, into the depths of the earth, creating a new society called the Tri-Realms.

 

Again it was to hard to pick just one, so here are my top picks in random order LOL, every single one has an unique quality that made me fall in love with it.

 

 

 

 

Without a doubt, hands down the best publisher ever is

 

Spencer Hill Press

They have the best titles, they are close to their readers, they know how to treat bloggers and authors, they now the rules of the game and know how to play it right. They might me a small publisher now, but they will be one of the bigger publishers ever in no time.

 

 

And finally here is a list of the books I´m dying to get my hands on. 2013 can´t get here fast enough.

(This is a list of books that already have cover art)

 

Books without cover art will be listed afterwards LOL, but I´m exited for those too!!!!!!

 

 

Sara had always been careful.

She never spoke of magic, never associated with those suspected of handling magic, never thought of magic, and never, ever, let anyone see her mark. After all, the last thing she wanted was to end up missing, like her father and brother.

Then, a silver elf pushed his way into Sara's dream, and her life became anything but ordinary.

They said it couldn't be done, but geeky sophomore Lauren Carlson transformed herself into a popular girl after moving to a new school halfway across the country.

Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself .
