CURRENT RELEASES :
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.

But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.

Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

Back to Me by Earl Sewell


"This is not" how Maya Rogers hoped to get famous. First her boyfriend, Misalo, dumps her, and then the revealing photos that she sent to him go viral. Maya's reputation is in shreds, and now she's getting all the wrong kind of attention from guys in her neighborhood. How did life get so out of control so fast?

One answer: Viviana. Maya and her cousin were close once. But guilty secrets and long-buried resentments changed all that. Viviana wants to make Maya miserable by stealing away Misalo, but she may be stirring up more trouble than anyone can handle. At least Maya knows that her best friend Keysha always has her back. But with so much bad blood flowing, will these family ties be severed for good?

Circle of Silence by Carol Tanzman


The biggest story of my life could be how it ends

It's my turn to run a Campus News crew, and I've put together a team that can break stories wide open. And Washington Irving High has a truly great one to cover, if only we can find a lead.

A secret society has formed in our school. It announced its presence with pranks: underwear on the flagpole, a toilet in the hallway, cryptic notes. A circle of silence keeps the society a mystery. No one knows its members, agenda or initiation secrets--until a student lands in the hospital under strange circumstances.

I will blow this story wide open and stop others from being hurtor worse. And while my ex, Jagger, might want to help, I don't trust him yet. (And, no, not because of our past together. That is not important to this story.)

But whether you find me, Valerie Gaines, reporting in front of the camera, or a victim in the top story of the newscastbe sure to watch Campus News at 9:00 a.m. this Friday.

Harlequin Teen and Kimani Tru Novels from our Authors joining us this week can be found in our Bookstore.

Review The Vincent Brothers By Abbi Glines

Review The Vincent Brothers By Abbi Glines
PUBLISHER: Hot Key Books

FORMAT: Paperback/e-book

RELEASED: November 15th, 2012

RATING: 7/10

AMAZON SUMMARY:


"Sawyer Vincent is still heartbroken over his breakup with Ashton Gray - made worse because he lost her to his brother - but Lana McDaniel thinks she might just have a cure. Lana's lived in her cousin Ashton's shadow all her life, but now she's taking the lead and is determined to make Sawyer her man. But can she be sure that Sawyer's not just using her to get back at Ashton? And what if Sawyer sees through her new sexy version of herself and discovers the shy, geeky girl she used to be?"

REVIEW:


I read "The Vincent Brothers" as soon as I finished "The Vincent Boys". I rarely do that with a series - I usually like a break between instalments - but I just had to read this one. They're addictive! These books made me want to read again after a relatively long time since I'd read anything. I'm grateful to Abbi Glines and her swoonworthy romances for that!

I didn't like this second book quite as much as the first, but it was still a good read. It focuses on Sawyer rather than Beau, and Ash's cousin Lana who briefly appears in "The Vincent Boys". I liked getting to know them more, though I thought Sawyer's personality changed quite drastically from book to book. He was more angry and tough-guy aggressive in this one which is completely different to how he was before. I'm sure it's all down to character growth but it just seemed out of place.

Lana was a good female lead in a way that kept me reading and wanting to know what would happen to her. I didn't think she was as strong a character as Ash, but I didn't really expect that and wasn't disappointed at all. I also loved getting to see glimpses of Beau and Ash and how they were getting on after previous events. And the epilogue made me melt a little bit!

"The Vincent Brothers" is more of the same from Abbi Glines: hot, steamy scenes, believable romance and male characters that will stay in your mind for weeks. If you liked "The Vincent Boys" and all its New Adult drama, then this book won't fall short. They've just made me very glad I gave in and bought a Kindle!
