Meira is an orphan and trained with Sir. Mather is the king of Winter, and they must do all that they can to protect him. Agapa is after all of the winterians. Meira finds half of the conduit of winter.

They head to Condell and make an agreement with Autumn. Theron is a prince and Meira is pledged to him. She wants to be free and save winter. She gets to know Theron better . Mather also has feelings for her too. Meira ends up fighting and taken captive. During this time she understands more about the rhythm & seasons. She also learns more about the conduits. She has been having some very vivid dreams since Mather gave her a blue stone. Her life is slowly changing.

This book was great with the world building. I loved the concept with seasons. I am not choosing a team because in my opinion they are both great for her. This book was amazing. I loved the imagery about how 1 snowflake can cause a blizzard. Meira is a strong female who questioned her life and those around her.

Essie is a mechanic and knows her tech . She has been on her own for the past 8 years. She living in the mining district of Thanda. She loves to fight . Dane crash lands his plane , and is rescued by Essie. She also has these bots that help around the area. She ends up helping Dane, and makes a friend. He also has some secrets too.

Dane kidnaps Essie and takes her to another part of the galaxy. He is trying to do something for his family. She also finds out more about what has happened since she left all those years ago. She is a resident of Windsong, but she isn't ready to go back there.

This was an interesting take on Snow White. I loved the bots, and the friendship between Dane and Essie. I loved that there was a villain. It had all the aspects of Snow White. This did remind me of Marissa Meyer ( Lunar Chronicles) . This was one of the books that I did really want to read, and so glad that it lived up to the hype. I adore the cover.

FALL WITH ME Synopsis:

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

Amelia Gannon feels invisible ,and cuts herself. Her mom and dad adopted 3 boys from Guatemala , and they run the house. Her dad has also checked out with parenting . She works at a hardware store , and is best friends with Ali. She loves to do wood working.
   Michael Brooks with Blue hair meets her at the skate park, and slowly integrates himself into her life. He has his own crap salad to deal with.

Gannon is a moody girl when Brooks is gone for 35 days, and then their relationship turns sexual. She also tries E   with him. Brooks is helping his foster brother with drugs. Things change for them , when her parents go out of town.

This book is dark and gritty. Gannon has her cutting issues , and Brooks has his issues. He really loves her & shows her just how much. I had ended up crying at the end of this book. Gannon has some great friends with Ali & Ricardo. I know that this reality does exist , and there are many kids experiencing foster families, cutting, and absent parents. I had read The Fault Line and I didn't like it. I wanted to give this author another chance , and this book was amazing. The story is still with me after I finished the book.

Side Swiped Book Review & Tour

Talia and Bran are back together . She is living in Australia finishing up her last year in school. Bran is working on his school stuff too. He doesn't want to be in the office. He would rather be on a ship .

They are both dealing with living together , and school issues. Talia wants to do more with her life . Bran is dealing with his friend Karma who comes around. We also see Bran's family a bit more , and his sister.

This book was a fast read. There were many sexy times, but I thought they used sex so that they wouldn't have to have those important conversations. They both had their  issues to deal .  I can't wait too see what happens next in this series.
