Witching for bodies in a cemetery was not my idea of a fun Halloween dare, yet I stood at the mouth of a graveyard, dividing rods in hand. At least that’s what Nell called them. Ten minutes ago, they were each half of a metal coat hanger. Nell’s eyes had practically sparkled as she snipped the hangers with wire cutters by the light of her BMW’s headlights, and then bent them into L shapes. Then she handed me the finished product and flashed a dimpled simple smile. No spells. No special withcy juju. I mean, how potent could these things actually be?

Expected Publication: September 4, 2017 by Entangled Teen
When Allie’s best friend dares their group to play a game in a cemetery—something she calls “witching”—Allie never expects what it might mean for her. When she plays, she doesn’t just find bodies, she summons their souls. But one soul wants more than Allie is willing to give.

And the boy next door could be the key to saving her.

Cody Burkhart. Straight from Montana, cowboy hat wearing, and smoking hot, he’s just the thing to help Allie become “normal” again after the death of her mother. And as her newly appointed Guardian, he’s also just the thing to help Allie ward off the vengeful spirit who’s after her soul. Except Cody has his own demons to slay that keep him closed off. But as the full moon approaches, so does their only chance to break the curse, and Cody will have to make the biggest sacrifice of all.

This book sounds really amazing. I’m going to be starting this today and I can’t wait. I won’t have my review up until a few days after the release since I’m part of the blog tour.

The Third Kiss

(Love’s Mortal Coil #1)

Kat Colmer

4.5 ★ –  Fun Swoony Romance with a Paranormal Twist
Published by Entangled TEEN August 7,2017
Genre(s): Young Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance
Buy Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
Love curses don’t exist. At least that’s what Jonas, master of the meaningless hookup, tells himself when a letter warns him he’s an Eros Guardian cursed to endure a test of true love or forever be alone. His levelheaded longtime friend Cora figures it’s a revenge prank by an ex. The way Jonas stamps each girlfriend with a weeklong use-by date, it serves him right.
But when an impulsive kiss between the two friends reveals potential for more, Cora becomes the target of the Groth Maar: demons sent to wipe out the Eros Guardian line. And suddenly the curse becomes dangerously real.
Breaking the curse means Jonas’s biggest challenge yet. Failure guarantees Cora’s death. But success may cost him his own life…and the loss of his carefully guarded heart to the one girl far too sensible to fall for him.

When I read the premise for this book, I immediately requested. I already love books with romance in them so the idea of love curses just made me even more interested.

The writing in this book is so creative, vibrant and compelling. I found myself trying to squeeze reading time during work just cause I needed to know what happened next. The plot is engaging, hilarious, suspenseful and so much fun. I was really fascinated with the mythology part of the story and enjoyed reading about it.

The romance is so swoony and cute. Cora and Jonas are just too adorable together. They’re friends first and foremost so it’s endearing to watch them work out their feelings for each other. Their chemistry is sweet and I definitely felt that push and pull between them.

Cora is a such great heroine. She’s not without faults and she frustrated me a bit, but I admired her independent attitude. I loved that she’s smart, strong, determined, and brave. Jonas is quite the charmer being who he is – an Eros Guardian. He’s a player with a tragic past  – the super hot “bad boy” you can’t resist and want to save. You’ll feel for him. You’ll root for him. You’ll want him to be happy and the whole nine yards. His twin sister, Beth, is quite the character! She’s confident, straightforward, ridiculously feisty and probably my favorite. Leo is the wild card — he’s new in town and mysterious so he certainly made the story more exciting. IMG_2827

The Third Kiss by Kat Colmer is such a wonderful debut novel. It’s unique, intriguing and beautifully written. The characters are lovable and relatable. The drama, romance, mystery, plot twists, and the humor made this story wickedly awesome. I was captivated from start to finish. And that ending?! Soooo crazy!! I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher, Entangled TEEN (Entangled Publishing, LLC), via NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
