In My Mailbox *15*

In my mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren!

So my mailbox this week wasn't full; and it wasn't actually in my mail book either it was in my email.

BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY!

- Halo: Alexandra Adornetto

     I actually go the book, because my sister started listening to the audio book I had. I really love the cover of this book.

- Leviathan: Scott Westerfeld

    I have heard great things about Leviathan. I really enjoyed the Uglies series, so I know Scott Westerfeld is a great author. So I hope to really enjoy this one!

- The Day Keeper's Grimoire (Prophecy of Days 1): Christy Raedeke

   I think I am now part of this Dystopian Craze. What is it about reading about horrible worlds that people live in that makes me addicted. I have even less an idea than you!

- Clockwork Angel: Cassandra Clare 

   So excited to finally get my hands on this book. I have been putting off City of Fallen Angels so I could read this one first.

- The Iron Thorn: Caitlin Kittridge (Audio Book): 

  I have heard really good things about this book, and btw Richelle Mead recommends it so I am guessing it's really good! 

- The Demon King: Cinda Williams Chima (Audio Book): 

I heard Andye from Reading Teen say how good this book is. And I have had my eye on it for a while. So I grabbed it asap when I saw it in the library.

- Incarceron: Catherine Fisher (Audio Book): 

I have seen this book around so much but I have no idea what it's about so I grabbed it!

Favorite Quotes *4*

So I decided to feature my favorite quotes of Angelfire on my blog. As I read more books, I will also be adding any other favorite quotes I have with other books that I read. I just love the feeling of having certain quotes transporting me to a part in the Book! ** Some spoilers if you have not read the book!** I must also admit that many are Will quotes because he is just so swoon worthy!!!!

Since I just finished Angelfire: Courtney Allison Moulton 4 STARS, Here's my review of Angelfire!

• "As I swung a third time, he grabbed my wrist. "That's enough hitting," he growled. "You don't exactly hit like a girl, you know." 
• "I guess it's true that love makes you blind." "No," my mom said. "It doesn't make you blind. You're very, very aware of everything about the one you truly love, whether you know it from what your eyes tell you or your heart. So no, love doesn't make you blind. It paralyzes you until you can't breathe or run away from it." 
• "And everytime you die, a little piece of me dies with you." 
• "I am so sick of you pulling this Batman shit on me!" 
• "And I am your guardian, your bodyguard, sworn to protect and defend you. And you are making my job excruciatingly difficult." 
• "I don't want to die and come back and not remember your face, Will. I don't want to spend another lifetime not knowing who you are!" 
• "He reached forward to cup my cheek, the touch surprising me. "Please understand that no matter what I am or what has happened in the past, I am yours. I am devoted to you above all else, including my own life." I exhaled after holding my breath for what felt like forever. "That's pretty heavy, Will." His expression was impassioned, and the backs of his fingers brushed the side of my neck. "It is a burden I am glad to carry." 
• ""His fingers traced the curve of my shoulder softly, as his gaze fell. I gasped sharply. If he tried to kiss me, I'd slap the crap out of him. Bond or no bond." 
• "Ellie, you need to understand," he said softly. "I exist only to serve you and fight by your side. Whether that fighting is to preserve your life or to make sure you smile, that is what I am built to do. You're all I have, and I will watch over you forever." 
• ""Love is a beautiful but terrible thing," he said. "You have to be careful with it. It can destroy you." 
• "As I listened and watched, I knew he was as perfectly aware of me as I was of him, though he kept his infallible rhythm. I knew he could sense every inch of my skin from across the floor, as I could his, feeling every thread of the powerful centuries-old bond we shared. In that moment my lips grew numb and something spun deliciously warm in my chest. In that precise moment I knew I was undeniably in love with him." 
• "No, I haven't heard that, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the proverbial insight, my stalker friend." 
• "I knew I had to live. I had to be there when you came back. You died alone, but I wouldn't let you come back alone." 
• "It was good to know that when swords failed, simple girl tactics always worked - even on monsters." 
• "I knew he was your boyfriend. Ellie Marie, I can't believe you lied to me, you hooker!" 
• "Will, I'm in love with you. You're the only one who understands what I go through every day, the only one I can share this world with." 
• "Are you coming with us?"  He looked down at me, his eyes a cool mint green. He seemed to have calmed down since Cadan left. "If you wish." "I would feel better if you were close," I whispered. "Cadan freaked me out." "Then of course," he said. "I'll follow you anywhere." 
• "I know you don't have access to that memory yet, but I don't think it's something I can just tell you. It means too much to me, I guess." 
• "I thrashed against him, but I couldn’t free my arms. I pounded my knee into his groin. His eyes bulged and he roared in pain, releasing me. It was good to know that when swords failed, simple girl tactics always worked—even on monsters."

What I am Reading:

Angelfire: Courtney Allsion Moulton

Synopsis: Goodreads

This debut, the first novel in a trilogy, is achingly romantic, terrifying, and filled with blistering action.

When seventeen-year-old Ellie starts seeing reapers - monstrous creatures who devour humans and send their souls to Hell - she finds herself on the front lines of a supernatural war between archangels and the Fallen and faced with the possible destruction of her soul.

A mysterious boy named Will reveals she is the reincarnation of an ancient warrior, the only one capable of wielding swords of angelfire to fight the reapers, and he is an immortal sworn to protect her in battle. Now that Ellie's powers have been awakened, a powerful reaper called Bastian has come forward to challenge her. He has employed a fierce assassin to eliminate her - an assassin who has already killed her once.

While balancing her dwindling social life and reaper-hunting duties, she and Will discover Bastian is searching for a dormant creature believed to be a true soul reaper. Bastian plans to use this weapon to ignite the End of Days and to destroy Ellie's soul, ending her rebirth cycle forever. Now, she must face an army of Bastian's most frightening reapers, prevent the soul reaper from consuming her soul, and uncover the secrets of her past lives - including truths that may be too frightening to remember.

I keep hearing about how great this book is. I know it's about angels and that's about it!!!

The Iron Witch: Karen Mahoney

Synopsis: Goodreads

        Freak. That's what her classmates call seventeen-year-old Donna Underwood. When she was seven, a horrific fey attack killed her father and drove her mother mad. Donna's own nearly fatal injuries from the assault were fixed by magic—the iron tattoos branding her hands and arms. The child of alchemists, Donna feels cursed by the magical heritage that destroyed her parents and any chance she had for a normal life. The only thing that keeps her sane and grounded is her relationship with her best friend, Navin Sharma.

When the darkest outcasts of Faerie—the vicious wood elves—abduct Navin, Donna finally has to accept her role in the centuries old war between the humans and the fey. Assisted by Xan, a gorgeous half-fey dropout with secrets of his own, Donna races to save her friend—even if it means betraying everything her parents and the alchemist community fought to the death to protect.

So I have been accustomed to hearing about Iron being used against fairies, so I am very interested to hear about how iron is being used against a witch. I keep seeing great review for this book as well. Looking forward to reading it!
