Forever Mine 
by Elizabeth Reyes
The Moreno Brothers Series #1

Seventeen-year old Sarah’s life is turned upside down when her single mom is sent to jail. She’s forced to move, leaving behind everything she’s ever known, including her best friend Sydney. Lost and bitter in a new school, her one goal is to save money and move back home. Then she meets Angel Moreno.
Enigmatic but gorgeous, Angel is almost too good to be true. Except for one thing, his archaic belief that guys and girls can never be “just friends”. The problem? Sarah’s best friend Sydney is not a girl.
With their unexpected romance intensifying to places neither ever experienced, how long can Sarah keep Angel in the dark about the guy waiting for her back home?

What are you reading?
Nice day,
Cam

Cover Reveal: Ten Tiny Breaths by K. A. Tucker + Giveaway

Ten Tiny Breaths
by K. A. Tucker
Expected Release Early 2013

Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen “profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.

Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not beyond repair.

But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgivable past of his own, one that, when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.

Isn't amazing? I like so much the cover, the cover scream "read me!" all along it. The expression on the face of the girl in contrast to her red hair and blue is simply captivating. And coupled with with the blurb promises to be a good read. Now only hope the book's publication date. 2013, why sometimes seem so distant?

WOW #2: The Archived by Victoria Schwab

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This is a book that I'm dying to read full. Some weeks ago I got a speak peek (100 pages of this gripping book) and now I'm counting each day until the release date. I loved the idea of ​​death being filed on shelves.

The Archived
by Victoria Schwab
The Archived #1
Coming on January 22nd, 2013
Goodreads

Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.

So, what are you waiting on?

Blog Tour: Mana by Asher Tensei

Hi, here! Today you are in one of the stops in the Mana's Blog Tour. I want to thanks to Enchanted Book Promotions for providing the copy to do this review. Also in this stop you'll find an expert and a giveaway, so continue riding...

Mana
by Asher Tensei
Genre: Fantasy
Release Date: September 7, 2012
Publisher: Malachite Quills Publishing
Format: e-book
Pages: 172

Eurich is thrown into a seemingly ill-fated destiny. After learning of his legendary magic, he is convinced that he alone must stop an impending doom, but nothing is ever as it seems. His best friends Jason and Raine try their best to help him save the world, but help isn’t what he needs —he needs a way across the barrier.

Despite this fate thrust upon him, Eurich knows what is coming. The world is headed toward Chaos due to a weakening barrier between Earth and a world that has been hidden for millennia.

Our world is about to take a sharp turn for the worse. Extra moons are rising in the sky, and panic is at an all-time high. Worst of all, there are no explanations.

Saving the world begins with a choice —but is humanity worth him risking his own life?

*A copy was provided by Enchanted Book Promotions exchange for a honest review*

My thought

Just looking the cover you can figure what is waiting for you inside the books, with this neon purple and the necklace.

I've ended the book, and I can say that I really like it. It's so interest, and amazing how the author manages to introduce you into the magical world he has created in this novel. Tensei have made an impressive work in his debut novel, in the experience of reading Mana you can connect so strong with the characters through writing that has the book, which describes what is happening in a way that you going imagining it at second, immediately transporting you to the world of Mana's. The best part of this book is that the descriptions do not make heavy reading or boring, in fact, quite the opposite these more easily allow you to immerse yourself in the reading, which for me is totally a plus, since I really do not like much the books that give only vague descriptions of the characters, I prefer those who are well trained like Erich, the protagonist of Mana's.

Another plus is the realism that you can found in it, I know, it's a contradiction is totally what I'm saying, but I really felt it this way, it was just like the connection I have with some books, and actually I'm really happy of being part of this blog tour, because for it I had the opportunity to discover this gorgeous book. If you are one who enjoy with reading with magical details this is your perfect reading.

My rating : 4/5 

Expert

“I don’t really care about them being pretty. I like them just fine, though I think Patricia could be a little taller.” Eurich chuckled.

“I see them.” Jason stood with his back leaning on the table.

“Boy am I tired,” Raine complained, dropping her black garment bag on the table when she approached it.

“Raine made me put back at least ten dresses, she’s got really picky taste.” Patricia huffed, then sat down.

“I think she was getting back at you for throwing her food away.” Eurich got up and turned on the flat panel television that hung from the foundation.

“Let’s hope not, I found some really cute ones.” Patricia turned toward the TV as soon as Eurich turned it on..

“CNN?” Raine complained again. Everyone that she could see through the glass doors were watching in awe for some reason, the same reaction came from the people who were outside.

“Just moments ago.” Raine turned as the newscaster on the television spoke. “A strange occurrence has people questioning about what is happening in the sky. Not only was it seen here, but it was also seen in the Bahamas and across the North Atlantic. It is worldwide and given the short time in which it’s risen, scientists cannot even begin to explain what is happening. The appearance of a second moon visible from earth, what does this mean? Are the doomsday prophecies correct? Are aliens finally giving us a final clue? Stay tuned for more.”

Author Bio

Although Asher Tensei is relatively young, he has already traveled the world as he has been a military brat since the age of four. He has always wanted to share his creative writing, and it was in Germany that he realized people also really enjoyed reading his stories. Mana was composed shortly after and it instantly got the support of a small but enthused local readership. Few could believe that Asher had written a full length novel during his fifteen minute breaks while working at Burger King. He is very passionate about the fantasy genre and graciously gives thanks to the one series that made him realize that writing high concept YA fantasy was something he wanted to do--The Twilight Saga. He maintains, and frequently updates, his site website.
