Jennifer, you haven't disappointed me yet!
I read wait for you with nothing in mind except a hot, sexy boy, and you didn't disappoint on that front, but you brought to mind a whole different line of thinking, and tears to my eyes.
Here's the blurb
Some things are worth waiting for…
Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.
Some things are worth experiencing…
Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.
Some things should never be kept quiet…
But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?
And some things are worth fighting for…
Available now in all digital formats.
So, sounds good, right? Right.
And it was.
Honestly, the way you didn't know about what was going to happened before, and the fact that they whole time you could understand her thought process but wanted to yell at her and comfort her at the same time was excruciating!
This book is a bit adult, so I wouldn't recommend it for readers under 15 or maybe even older. Personally, being 15, I understood it all, but chose to skip some parts. It wasn't too in detail or whatever, I just found it slightly uncomfortable.
I think that the issue at hand (can't reveal more... =( ) is a very important one. Jennifer has obviously dug deep to get this out there, and as always her writing style had me addicted from the beginning! There were a couple spelling errors and grammatical things...but other than that it was great!
Definitley recommend reading this, but bring out the tissues and the punching bag, coz your gonna need them both!!

Convenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Once I read the
Lux Series, I was desperate for some more (especially since the cliffhanger
*cough* crue! *cough*) so I looked to see what else she had written. I had no
expectations of the Covenant Series other than the Lux Series, tbh I didn’t
even look up the blurb, just downloaded it straight to my kindle.
Again, I made the mistake of assuming this series was finished – which it ISN’T! I opened the
first page, and the first thing I saw was ‘daimons’ and I was like: hmm, let’s
see what Jennifer can do with the over-used idea’s of angels and demons…but
just because they share a name doesn’t mean that demons and daimons are similar
AT ALL! I also found it ironic how I’d just read a series were the love interest
was called ‘Daemon’ and I was going to a book where the evil creatures were
‘daimons’ (both by the same author) but it didn’t bug me at all.
Here’s the blurb:
The Hematoi descend from the unions of
gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi–pure bloods–have godlike
powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals–well, not so much.
Half-bloods only have two options: become
trained sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of
the pures.
Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather
risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up
slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must
follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:
Relationships between pures and halfs are
forbidden.
Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the
totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest
problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a
Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or
slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden.
Yeah, blurbs
rock!
I love Jennifer
Armentrout, and her writing is SO good, like it just sits perfectly with me!
This story is captivating and will keep you up until 4am reading it (which
books don’t, though!) without a doubt!
If you're one of those people who hates it when the girl is a wuss who can't take care of herself, and has to have her 'knight' ride in on his 'white horse' and save her, then you'll love this book! But...if you ARE one of those girls who loves the knight on his horse, then you'll also love this book!
I think it shows the balance between being badass, ass-kicking and needing to be helped once in a little while. It shows that it's ok to be both sides, and someone can love you for it all!
Now, enough rambling...GO BUY THIS BOOK AND READREADREAD!
Love,
Queen of Reading :) x

Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout
I have to say, I was slightly reluctant to read this at first, but OH MY GOD I'M SO GLAD I DID! May I say that my god, I think I might die of the hotness. This may sound REALLY weird unless you've read the book, but this book SO makes me wish I had an alien boyfriend.
Katy is just your average girl from Florida, loving the surf until she’s forced to move to a no-town in the middle of West Virginia. She’s already accustomed to the idea of a shitty experience, but that all might change when she sees the hot boy next door. But that doesn’t turn out well considering he’s an a*****e, and then she meets his sister. Unlikely friendships forms, tensions rise, and secrets come out into the open.
The first book is Obsidian, followed by Onyx, then Opal, and soon enough a fourth! AND IF THE FOURTH ISN'T OUT SOON I MIGHT DIE!!!
I MAJORLY suggest this read. I totally relate to the character, especially seeing as she’s a book fanatic who’s obsessed with her blog, and is obsessed with the bit guy next door as I would be too! These books have made me laugh, cry, and want to strangle the characters. It been on my to-read list for a while, but it’s DEFINITELY worth the read :)
It's available in paperback and on kindle, so it's ACCESSIBLE! And to all those bookish people out there, you should DEFINITELY read this! I know I can relate to this character better than I would've thought, considering I don't live in America and have never been on a date...but enough about me, more about YOU....and why YOU ARE STILL SITTING HERE READING THIS POST WHEN YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS SERIES YET! SHOO!!
Keep on reading, forget the dreaming!!
