~ Synopsis ~

A novel of secrets, passion, and betrayal....

For the past four years, 18 year old Violet Taylor has lived her life like her deceased father would've wanted. Perfect grades, perfect friends, the perfect boyfriend from the right family. Except now at the end of high school, she realizes that she's never fully lived, has never taken risks, has always taken the safe and secure road. That all changes when she breaks up with her boyfriend, takes notice of the bad boy who she once shared a kiss with, and starts receiving gifts and phone calls from a mystery guy who makes her quiver with a need she never knew she possessed...

But what started as innocent turns dark and twisted, and Violet finds herself faced with a horrible secret that could destroy everything she once knew and loved.

~ Synopsis for Impostor ~

Can Tessa pose as Madison...and stop a killer before it's too late? 

Tessa is a Variant, able to absorb the DNA of anyone she touches and mimic their appearance. Shunned by her family, she's spent the last two years training with the Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, a secret branch of the FBI. When a serial killer rocks a small town in Oregon, Tessa is given a mission: she must impersonate Madison, a local teen, to find the killer before he strikes again.

Tessa hates everything about being an impostor - the stress, the danger, the deceit - but loves playing the role of a normal girl. As Madison, she finds friends, romance, and the kind of loving family she'd do anything to keep. Amid action, suspense, and a ticking clock, this super-human comes to a very human conclusion: even a girl who can look like anyone struggles the most with being herself.

Think Out Loud #12 ~ "Reminder All Emergency Services Will Be Suspended"

Hey everyone! I'm now going to join the meme Think Out Loud hosted by Thinks Books. With this meme, you can post anything you want! Get to know other bloggers outside of the bookish realm. :) Click on the link to go to her blog and sign up. :) The posts go up on Thursdays or whenever you'd like. :D

I've been slacking the last couple weeks with my Think Out Louds. Sorry Thinks Books! Don't kick me out, please! LOL. :) 

Here I go again with movies. Can't help myself! Tomorrow night, one of my besties Jill and I are gonna see The Purge!!! First of all, this movie looks great and has actors Lena Headey and Ethan Hawke in it - love both of them! Secondly, I get out of the house and away for a well deserved night of scary goodness. :D 

Besides books, horror movies make me super happy. I think this movie is more thriller than horror, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of scares to go around. Jill's niece and her friend are going with us. I'm not sitting on the end, lol! 

I can't wait!!!!!!!!! I want to get out of the house - I feel like a prisoner here sometimes you know? - and it's a movie I've been dying, positively dying to see since I first saw the preview. 

Anyone going to see The Purge this weekend?
