This book was thought provoking about love, gender, and freedom. I didn't know what to expect from this book and was surprised that this was from Desert book. I am curious if there is going to be another book or this is a stand alone. ?

Cass has lived on Camp Home which is an island for the past 7 years with Solomon. She and her brother Jordi are the only ones left of their family. A guy comes to the island , and he is taken prisoner.
Cass and the boy break out and go look for her brother who was taken. She also learns more about what happened after the incident with the Fearless. The boy --Myo has his sister and he isn't what he seems. Things are happening on the island with Sol & he is questioning things too. The Fearless reminded me of zombies.
I struggled to finish this book . Many things I thought would happen did. Cass did find love and the guy who did love her had some issues. Now when I think of the word Fearless ..I will think of Zombies. I really wanted to stop reading this book , but a part of me wanted to see how this was going to play out.

Bounce Cover Reveal
Following in the bestselling tradition of
Molly McAdams and J. Lynn, this final chapter in the fun and steamy New Adult
trilogy by Noelle August (authors Veronica Rossi and Lorin Oberweger) features
two aspiring musicians who must choose between their careers…and their sizzling
attraction for each other.
Playing the occasional club gig just isn’t
cutting it for twenty-two-year-old cellist Skyler Canby, who’s trying to
support herself and her mother back home in Kentucky. Persuaded by her best
friend Beth to accompany her on an audition for the first feature film launched
by Blackwood Entertainment, she figures why not? Beth’s a shoe-in for the lead,
but maybe Skyler’s newly dyed pink hair will help her stand out enough to score
a small speaking part.
Never in her wildest dreams does Skyler
imagine she’ll land the lead role or that she’ll have her shoes knocked off her
feet by the kiss her audition partner, Grey Blackwood, plants on her—a kiss
that feels very real and not at all “acted. ”
After throwing a party that causes thousands
of dollars of damage to his older brother’s home, reckless musician Grey
Blackwood gets roped into working off his debt on the set of his CEO brother’s
newest project. Grey spends his days fetching coffee and doing odd jobs around
the studio, but he lives for nights when he performs with his band. He knows if
he can stay focused, success as a singer is just around the corner. But that’s
tough with a distracting pink-haired girl occupying his every waking thought.
Skyler and Grey have every reason to resist
each other. But, like a song neither of them can get out of their minds, they
have no choice but to go where the music takes them.
I adore this series and I can't wait to read it . I have been picky about my new adult series but this one has been an auto read for me. Be sure to order and read this book when it comes out.

Seraphina is on a mission a find others like her . She is also on the Queen's request on this journey. She does meet and find others like herself. We also find more about her mind garden and those that were in it. Her half sister Jammoula is taking control of others, and using it to her advantage. Kriggs and Seraphina do have some romance but those felt like stolen moments.
Seraphina does grow along this journey and makes more friends. She also learns more about the Saints.
This book was tough to get back into after so long. I also found the romance lacking , but the world building was amazing. I loved that there were so many characters that were half dragons. I always enjoy Ooma and Aldo . I didn't like the ending but I had some questions about it .

Ella has broken up with Matt. He comes back to town and tries to recreate thier night of Yes. She is in contact with her other friends during the night. She hasn't really gotten over him, and him over her. During the night we see what happened that first night, and what they are doing tonight. Matt left things unsaid and lost friends.
I enjoyed this girls friendship and even the relationship that could be toxic but it's them. Seriously a great story about taking chances.

Fan's being taken advantage of
I have long been a fan of Katie McGarry books and I enjoy her characters...but this latest attempt is not so nice. To read this fan favorite of Abby and Logan, I have to buy her other NEW book series and when this book comes out I can get both books. Well looking on amazon it varies from 11-14 dollars for an e book or book. Then Abby's book goes back in the vault .
I had bought Gayle Forman's Just one Night as a separate story for .99 because i wanted to see how it ended. Why can't Harper/ Harlequin Teen do this for the fans. As a fan , this seems unfair and sleezy because I know that I wanted to see the Logan /Abby story . Heck I admit that I haven't read the latest Echo and Noah story because I couldn't handle the angst. But I would buy it :)
Seriously the fans should be treated better and let us have the option...because as it looks I would rather spend my money elsewhere for another book. I have wanted to read the Abby story since she was introduced. But having this be a lead up to the other book series is not the way to play this. I hope that this fails ..because the last time i bought a book was because my name was in the back of Alligant as a blogger.
Many of her fans are teens and not moms--but this promotion just seems not fair to the fans.
Have you had a promotion of book that just seemed wrong or have you waited because the publisher was doing something like this ?? Do you buy Novellas ??
What are your thoughts on this promotion ??
