SO you probably didn't know this but I am currently writing a novel called "Sleeping in Stone" and planning the sequel "Concrete Angel". They will be part of a trilogy and I haven't decided on the last ones name yet but am leaning towards "Sparkling Angel". And now I am writing a new novel while that series is on hold. This is going to be more of an older YA and it deals with the serious issue of prostituion. Which is actually a subject near to my heart. I haven't decided of a name yet but will be trying to come up with one. Shattered seems to be the most fitting name at the moment or Broken. I want something really simple yet striking and something that deals with the plot.
So here is a little bit about the novel.
Jade is a normal 19 year old girl. Well, not really. Her mother is fatally ill and dying from breast cancer, her father left her years and years ago when she was born and she is left struggling to look after her family of 4 younger siblings. On top of this the family that once had everything is struck with a series of terrible events. Death after death, murder after murder. They lose everything. Jade is forced to find a way to look after her family financially after her mother's death and so one night leads to a life changing choice. She becomes a prostitute to the rich and famous but after a traumatic rape turns to drugs and ends up walking the streets, the only way to pay for her new found addiction, troubling family and her mother's hospital bill debts is to become a street hooker. Little does she know that one of her clients is closer to her than she thinks. It turns out the man she just slept with is her long lost father. Will he turn out to be her knight in shining armour? And as if things were bad enough she starts to fall in love with this man even after knowing his secret. Keeping it hidden she continues to take money from this man and sleeping with him until her mother's funeral. Will he find out the girl of his, unconventional, dreams is really his daughter he left when she was just a baby? Or will true love conquer all?
Sounds a bit sick really doesn't it? So please can you help me with a name for the book PLEASE!

The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove- Lauren Kate.
.
NOTE: Pictures will be up shortly, blogger is being a BIATCH! :P x
Natalie Hargrove is so close to getting what she's always wanted. She's finally on the right side of the bridge, in the richer part of town, she has a gorgeous boyfriend and she is just about to be crowned Palmetto princess, prom queen. But when she gets caught up in the competion, she soon realises fate is not to be medelled with. When a prank her and her boyfriend pull on her competion for prom king goes terribly wrong, they are left to deal with the conseqeunces. Trying to hide what they have done whilst trying to frame it on someone else AND still win Palmetto princess and prince. Will it all be too much? Will she crack under the pressure? A story of love, enemies, regret, deceit and karma by the award winning, best selling author of the Fallen and Torment books, Lauren Kate.
To begin with I was really mixed on this book. I didn't like Natalie at all and thought she was a cheap rip off of Regina George from Mean Girls, she was the typical generic popular wannabe prom queen with the perfect boyfriend. I really started enjoying it around all the drama when she played a prank on her enemy and it all went terribly wrong. This book is about fate which I really liked and it really proved that what goes around comes around and I liked that message of it. I particularly liked the character Tracy because she was sort of psychic and she kept saying cryptic clues to Natalie. I liked the idea of the high school and how everything went and I liked the set up of the story but overall I felt the book could have been better. I give this book a 3.5 but closer to a 4 than a 3 simply because there was that something missing and I didn't like the beginning at all! Definitely worth a read and if you like Lauren Kate's writing style, you will love this. I think I just found a new favourite author and I can't wait to read Fallen and Torment which are next on my TBR pile.
A Girl's Guide to Falling In Love With a Zombie- Richard Denney.
.
This book was great! It's by debut novelist and fellow youtuber Richard Denney (AKA Devvourbookreviews) and it's his debut novel. It was really well written and I really fell in love with Rebecca, the main character. The book is sort of her journal of events and it really describes her feelings for Lance, her zombie "boyfriend" in depth. It's really exicting and there are lots of times when you don't think she is going to make it. She is really in love with Lance but then another survivor Ryan finds them and she starts to having wandering feelings and begins developing a thing for Ryan. There is even a sexy bit, which I LOVED! Overall I give this book 5/5 and think that it was great.
I won this advanced reader copy in a giveaway and don't know if the book itself is actually out yet but when I have more information I will update you of the release date and where you can purchase a copy, and I suggest you do!
5/5
The Beatrice Letters- Lemony Snicket.
.
No summary as I didn't really get what the book was about. All I can say is that this book is about letters between Beatrice Baudelaire and Lemony Snicket. That is all I could really make out from this book.
This book is sooo pretty! From the front cover to the inside. First of all you open the book to find no writing but like a case file sort of holder containing the copy of the book with no pretty cover or anything and a picture/poster which is double sided. Throughout the books there are pages with a part of one side of the picture which is very strange. Then there are different letters and sometimes little fold up letters. I particularly liked how the different letters were in different fonts and set out on different style pages. I really enjoyed reading this book and managed to read it in an hour which isn't too difficult as it is only 72 pages long. The pictures and trying to figure out the letters and decode them made this book interesting. If you have followed the whole "The series of unfortunate events" books, which I have not, then you might find this book less confusing and more interesting. Don't read this if you are looking for a book that makes sense.
This definately isn't for everybody but I certainly enjoyed it and found it really fun to read. I would recommend it as it is fun and really doesn't take up much time to read at all.
Overall a good bit of fun, I give it a 3.5/5.
